"A Spiritual Puppet with the cultivation of the Reverting Void Realm is already something, but a Heavenly Human Realm Puppet, isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?"
However, the person who spoke did not explain further, merely telling them that they would understand once they tried it themselves. He had heard this piece of gossip from some disciples of the Formation Sect, and the truth of the matter was still uncertain.
"A Heavenly Human Realm Spiritual Puppet?"
"I wonder if these Spiritual Puppets are like those in the Descension Ruins."
Lin Chen and the others had different thoughts; while everyone else was focused on destroying the Spiritual Puppets to acquire spiritual power, Lin Chen, on the other hand, wanted to directly control the Spiritual Puppets and use them for his own purposes.
The Trial Tower could accommodate over a hundred people at once, but as martial artists continuously entered, some were also continuously repelled by the Spiritual Puppets within the tower, emerging with their bodies covered in wounds. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ⓝovelFire.net
Some of the martial artists had sustained extremely serious injuries, some even bordering on life-threatening.
Just then, disciples from the Formation Sect immediately flew out to provide treatment to the injured martial artists, allowing them to ease their injuries and save their lives.
"Look, someone has broken through to the fourth layer of the Trial Tower."
Beneath the high tower, the crowd looked upwards following the movements above, and indeed, according to the direction pointed out by the person who had shouted, there was a light orb that had entered the fourth layer of the Trial Tower.
From outside the Trial Tower, the lighting up of an orb on a certain layer signified that someone had entered that layer of the tower.
However, the martial artist who had entered the Fourth Level did not stay on the fourth layer for too long before being blasted out by the Spiritual Puppets inside.
Reaching the fourth layer alone was already quite an impressive feat.
Every person who entered the Trial Tower was assigned to a different space, facing Spiritual Puppets of varying strength and numbers.
But those who could reach the fourth layer, even if they hadn’t defeated a single Puppet within the fourth layer, had likely taken down about ten Spiritual Puppets already.
Inside the Trial Tower, the first three layers typically contained three to ten Spiritual Puppets each. Most martial artists would encounter around three to five, unless they were particularly unlucky and encountered ten, in which case it was almost impossible to defeat the Puppets inside.
Because inside the Trial Tower, the strength of the Spiritual Puppets appearing each time is randomly generated according to the entrant’s strength.
"Brother Lin Chen, look how awesome I am, I rushed all the way to the fourth layer in one go. Even though I was blasted out, this is still much better than my results from previous years. This time I’m sure to become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Formation Sect, haha..."
"This is all thanks to the cooperation with Brother Lin Chen. The elixirs and Spirit Stones I obtained from you helped me enhance my cultivation and increase my strength. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to face the Spiritual Puppets inside and make it to the fourth layer."
The martial artist who had rushed to the fourth layer of the Trial Stone Tower was none other than Qi Xiuwu, who had made a deal with Lin Chen.
At that moment, Qi Xiuwu approached Lin Chen, expressing his gratitude with tears brimming in his eyes, his words failing to mask his excitement.
This was already his third time participating in the Formation Sect’s recruitment assembly, and if he failed this time, the Formation Sect would blacklist him, forbidding him from participating in future assemblies on the grounds that he had insufficient aptitude to become a disciple of the Formation Sect.
Based on past experiences, those who successfully broke through to the fourth layer of the high tower were almost certainly guaranteed a spot as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Formation Sect, which explained Qi Xiuwu’s excitement.
Regarding Qi Xiuwu’s success, Lin Chen responded with a faint smile and congratulated him.
The transaction between Qi Xiuwu and Lin Chen was fair, so Qi Xiuwu’s acquisition of those elixirs and Spirit Stone Resources was also due to his own fortune.
"Lin Chen, shall we act alone and see who scores higher?"
Qin Kaifeng stood beside Lin Chen, glancing towards him with a smile gradually forming at the corner of his mouth before he suddenly spoke.
According to the rules of the Trial Tower, martial artists entering for assessment could either form teams or go alone.
If they formed a team, up to five people could enter a tower gate at once, but that would mean facing a greater number of Spiritual Puppets. All they had to do was join forces to defeat them, and the Tower’s Great Formation would naturally distribute Spiritual Power to each martial artist based on their scoring hits.
Qin Kaifeng’s background was incredibly strong; not even the three big names of the Inner Sect had come forward to recruit him.
According to rumors, for Qin Kaifeng to enter the Formation Sect and become a Core Disciple was just a matter of a word from his ancestors.
However, this fellow insisted on passing the assessment on his own to enter the Formation Sect.
At this moment, members of the Zhao Family in the distance, upon seeing how close Lin Chen and Qin Kaifeng were, had very unsightly expressions on their faces.
The news they had received earlier claimed that Lin Chen had a big fight with Qin Kaifeng.
Given Qin Kaifeng’s temperament, Lin Chen was supposed to have a grudge with Qin Kaifeng. The Zhao Family members had been happy earlier, thinking that since Lin Chen had offended someone with a background like Qin Kaifeng, even if he managed to join the Formation Sect, he would face obstacles at every turn, and it would be very easy for them to deal with Lin Chen later.
However, the current behavior of Lin Chen and Qin Kaifeng was like that of old friends, showing no signs of enmity at all.
If Lin Chen really became close to Qin Kaifeng and formed a friendship, it would become difficult for them to take action against Lin Chen.
The strong background of Qin Kaifeng was not something the Zhao Family could afford to provoke.
"Exactly my thoughts, Brother Qin, please."
Lin Chen nodded; he too harbored the idea of competing with Qin Kaifeng.
However, just as Lin Chen and Qin Kaifeng prepared to set off, the Trial Tower suddenly acted up, emitting a series of loud noises, and even the platform in the sky shook.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of martial artists flew out from the high tower.
The crowd stopped in their tracks, startled by the sudden development at the Trial Tower.
They had never encountered such a situation before.
"The Trial Tower has gone berserk."
"To all contestants, Spiritual Puppets beyond the tower’s level have appeared inside the tower. From this moment on, you must enter the high tower in groups of five to take the test."
Tang Yuntian frowned slightly; he knew that this year’s competition would not be too peaceful and now, indeed, some trouble had arisen.
In past years, the Formation Sect’s Trial Tower had also experienced the situation now before them, where Spiritual Puppets beyond the level of the current layer had appeared inside the Trial Tower.
