Chapter 68 Battle Puppets
Chen Cheng's heart trembled slightly when he saw the bronze puppet in front of him. The big fellow in front of him was all bronze. His pair of eyes also emitted a purple glow. A single glance at it made one's heart tremble.
Most importantly, this puppet also emitted an incomparably domineering aura. This aura gave off the feeling that it was like a killing machine standing beside him.
"As long as you knock this bronze puppet to the ground, you will win. Are you ready?" The white-haired old man asked Chen Cheng, who was standing at the center of the arena.
Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.
"Alright, since that's the case, then the examination will begin now!" The old man immediately announced.
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the bronze puppet that had been standing motionlessly at the side rushed towards Chen Cheng like a ferocious beast, its speed incredibly fast.
Chen Cheng was immediately shocked. He hurriedly retreated. At the same time, he threw out a strand of Spiritual Qi in his hand and smashed it towards the puppet's body.
However, when the spiritual energy smashed into the puppet's body, it only caused his body to pause for a moment, and then he continued to run towards Chen Cheng without any injuries.
Chen Cheng's face changed drastically. He retreated again and again, but very quickly, he arrived at the edge of the arena, and the ferocious puppet rushed over once again.
"Go all out!"
Chen Cheng shouted loudly, his entire body surging with spiritual energy. Then, he threw an unreserved punch at the puppet, colliding with the puppet's punch.
Clang!
The two fists collided, producing the sound of pure iron colliding.
The tremendous impact caused the two of them to retreat, and Chen Cheng also fell out of the arena.
"Hmph, trash!" Seeing this scene, the arrogant youth immediately mocked with disdain.
Qin Yun was also slightly stunned. He did not expect Chen Cheng to lose so quickly.
However, at the moment when everyone thought that Chen Cheng was about to fall off the arena, Chen Cheng's eyes narrowed as he used the Spiritual Qi in his hand to directly stop his falling body with the backlash of the Spiritual Qi.
Chen Cheng stood still and heaved a sigh of relief. He almost fell down just now. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have failed in the exam.
However, before he could breathe a second time, the puppet actually appeared beside him again and smashed a punch at Chen Cheng.
Having learned his lesson just now, Chen Cheng didn't dare to clash head-on with this fellow who didn't know the pain anymore. He hurriedly mobilized his spiritual energy, twisted his body, and dodged this punch.
However, the puppet's speed was extremely fast. Just as Chen Cheng finished dodging a punch, he was smashed into his abdomen by the next punch. He pushed back several times and almost staggered and fell.
"So powerful. This puppet is definitely at the peak of the Seventh Heaven stage." Chen Cheng thought to himself.
However, before he could stand firm, the puppet rushed over again.
Chen Cheng was shocked and hurriedly retreated, hiding from the puppet's attack in a sorry state.
The old man shook his head in disappointment when he saw this scene. The arrogant youth beside him had a face full of disdain.
Qin Yun was fine, but he maintained his calm from beginning to end. He felt that Chen Cheng definitely had a way to go.
Sure enough, at this moment, Chen Cheng's figure suddenly jumped up and directly appeared above the puppet's head. Using the power of his rapid descent, he used a martial skill, the Heavenly Hammer, to punch the puppet on the back of its head, knocking it to the ground.
"Chen Cheng has won. He has passed the exam!" The old man announced.
Hearing this, Chen Cheng immediately sat down on the ground, exhausted. At this moment, his clothes were already very messy. It could be seen that he had used all of his strength.
"Tsk, trash, it takes so much effort to deal with a copper-ranked puppet." The arrogant youth on the side said with disdain.
Chen Cheng was slightly angry. Although he had a good temper, he might not be able to tolerate others insulting him again and again.
However, just as he was about to argue with the arrogant youth, he saw Qin Yun shake his head slightly at him.
"Alright, it's Shi Yang's turn to challenge you. What puppet do you want to challenge?" The white-haired old man interrupted. He could not tolerate the unreasonable actions of this kid in front of him.
So his name was Shi Yang?
Qin Yun was slightly stunned. He was curious about the name of this arrogant youth. Shi Tianya also believed in stone. However, he didn't know if this little fellow in front of him had anything to do with Shi Tianya of the Tian Yuan Chamber of Commerce.
However, Qin Yun felt that it was true. This Shi Yang and Shi Tianya's arrogance was exactly the same. Could it be that those who believed in stones were so arrogant?
"I choose a golden puppet!" Shi Yang walked onto the arena and said with extreme pride.
Everyone present was slightly stunned. This golden puppet was comparable to a peak Ninth Heaven martial artist, while Shi Yang was only at the peak of Eighth Heaven. There was an entire level of difference between them. Could it be that he wanted to challenge someone beyond the Ninth Heaven stage?
The white-haired old man frowned slightly and asked, "Are you sure you want a golden puppet?"
"I'm sure." Shi Yang snorted coldly, "But I have a request. I think I can use a weapon!"
"Alright!" The white-haired old man replied. There had always been no restriction on the use of weapons in the assessment requirements. Of course, he would not refuse Shi Yang's request.
With a wave of his sleeve, a golden humanoid puppet appeared on the arena. The moment this puppet appeared, it instantly gave off a powerful aura that shook one's heart.
Qin Yun glanced at the golden puppet. The golden puppet's body was also covered in profound array patterns.
"Indeed, it is a level 1 formation." Qin Yun thought to himself that the formation on this golden puppet had already reached the first level.
"The examination begins!" The white-haired old man announced.
Sure enough, the golden puppet seemed to be alive when the old man gave the order, and its entire body exploded out.
Shi Yang sneered. He did not change his expression towards the golden puppet's ferocious attack. Then, the moment the golden puppet was about to hit his body, he quickly attacked and collided with the golden puppet.
Clang!
His voice sounded like a flood bell, causing a gust of wind and waves to rise in the surroundings.
The two fists collided, and both of them were pushed back, leaving a distance of more than ten meters behind.
Everyone outside the arena was shocked. This Shi Yang was originally so powerful, yet he was actually able to face the golden puppet head-on.
"Hmph, so the golden puppet is nothing more than that." Shi Yang snorted coldly.
After the golden puppet stabilized its body, it directly shot towards Shi Yang again.
Shi Yang's figure was like the wind, and he immediately dodged the golden puppet's attack.
The golden puppet smashed its fist into the air and smashed into the arena. Instantly, a deep pit was created in the arena, and the stone slab shattered inch by inch.
"Hmph, that's all. It's time to end it!" Shi Yang sneered.
Then, a heavy sword appeared in his hand and mercilessly smashed into the golden puppet's chest, sending it flying.
Everyone was shocked again. So this kid was cultivating heavy swords. No wonder he dared to face the golden puppet head-on and was able to send the puppet flying with a single sword strike.
