Lin Chen looked at the woman with deep blue hair and gave a faint nod.
As for the woman’s invitation, Lin Chen was actually pletely indifferent inside. Whether he formed a team or not, Lin Chen had to face the Spiritual Puppets within the Trial Tower either way. Teaming up was merely a way to resist the bullying by these three men.
They were outnumbered and their cultivation was several levels lower.
So this kind of banding together for warmth had no meaning.
But who was Lin Chen?
Even if he didn’t team up with the woman with the dark hair, Lin Chen didn’t take these three men seriously.
They wanted to bully Lin Chen? They didn’t have the ability.
"Heh, naive fool, do you think huddling together for warmth will allow you to contend with us? I’m going to let you know now the gap between you and us," said the man with yellow hair, his pupils widening in shock as he saw the Spiritual Puppets that had appeared.
Seeing the woman with deep blue hair run to Lin Chen’s side, the man with yellow hair instantly felt annoyed. The girl he had his eye on—Lin Chen dared to form a team with her and wasn’t being tactful at all.
Roar—
However, just as the man was about to make a move to teach Lin Chen a lesson, a violent noise suddenly erupted from within the Trial Tower, followed by a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy attacking Lin Chen and the other four from all sides.
In an instant, the five of them tensed up, mobilizing their Spiritual Power to guard against their surroundings.
Whoosh whoosh—
Whoosh whoosh—
Rows of five-meter-tall white Spiritual Puppets started moving toward the center from all around.
They came out directly from the walls of the Trial Tower around them, without any warning whatsoever.
"It’s actually Spiritual Puppets with the cultivation of the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm!"
This wasn’t their first time participating in the Formation Sect’s recruitment assembly; they had also entered the Trial Tower before but had only made it through three floors before being eliminated.
However, they were well aware that in previous years, the strength of the Spiritual Puppets on the first layer of the Trial Tower would never exceed the Peak of the Melding Earth Realm.
Yet now, the first layer unexpectedly featured Spiritual Puppets with the cultivation of the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, which was a whole major realm stronger than before.
"No wonder Elder Tang Yuntian warned everyone earlier that the danger inside the Trial Tower has increased several-fold. If this were like before, how could we possibly defeat three Spiritual Puppets of the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm on our own? If there were more of them, we’d only have the option to exit. There’s no way we’d get through the first layer."
"It seems this year is going to be even more dangerous than before," said the leader of the group, his face serious as he observed the Spiritual Puppets around them.
From the walls around them, a total of five Spiritual Puppets emerged—three of the Ninth Layer, one of the Eighth Layer, and one of the Seventh Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.
It seemed these five Spiritual Puppets were generated according to their five people’s cultivation levels, following the rules of the Trial Tower.
The man with yellow hair and the man with the scar, along with their third panion, could still defend themselves and fight against the three Ninth Layer Spiritual Puppets.
However, in their eyes, Lin Chen and the woman with deep blue hair, who were seen as worthless, were likely incapable of defeating the two Spiritual Puppets.
What worried them was that if Lin Chen and the woman with deep blue hair were defeated by those two Spiritual Puppets, then those two would turn to attack them, potentially affecting their battle with the three Spiritual Puppets of the Ninth Layer Heaven-reaching Realm. In that case, the situation would bee very tricky.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, as Lin Chen and the others were examining the Spiritual Puppets, the five Spiritual Puppets all moved at once, swiftly attacking Lin Chen and his panions.
"You two pieces of trash, hold them off for a bit longer, or we’ll all die here,"
the man with the scarred face said, his expression drastically changing as he prepared to face the Spiritual Puppet charging at him. He then shouted at Lin Chen and the woman with deep blue hair.
Subsequently, the three men immediately engaged in bat with the three Spiritual Puppets, and after a brief exchange, neither side gained any advantage.
However, the woman with deep blue hair, who was only at the Fourth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, faced off against a Spiritual Puppet of the Eighth Layer. Ultimately, she was unable to hold her ground, being suppressed by the Spiritual Puppet the moment they crossed blows.
Hisss—
However, the Spiritual Puppet that Lin Chen faced was different. The moment the Spiritual Puppet rushed towards him, Lin Chen suddenly wielded a Flowing Light Sword in his hand.
"Such a pity, unlike the Stone Sculpture Puppets, these Spiritual Puppets can’t change their inner structures and be of use to me,"
Lin Chen sighed lightly and immediately swung the sharp sword in his hand.
Sword Light slashed through, and the Spiritual Puppet was instantly split in two by Lin Chen’s sword, shattering right in front of him.
Whoosh whoosh—
After the Spiritual Puppet shattered, it instantly turned into a sky of white Spiritual Light, surging into Lin Chen’s body.
"Although they can’t be of use to me, this pure energy is quite good, almost equivalent to nearly ten thousand top-quality Spirit Stones,"
Lin Chen said with a faint smile on his lips, as he circulated the Primordial Transformation Decree, swiftly absorbing the Spiritual Power from the shattered Spiritual Puppet.
Whoosh whoosh—
At this moment, the blond man and the man with the scarred face, along with the third man, were still struggling against the Spiritual Puppets when they suddenly felt a powerful Sword Qi.
The three of them immediately turned their heads towards Lin Chen’s direction and were utterly shocked.
"How is this possible? That piece of trash actually killed the Spiritual Puppet in an instant."
"Not only that, but he also absorbed the shattered Spiritual Power immediately. What kind of powerful Cultivation Technique must he be practicing to have such an absorption rate?"
The three men, although barely managing to bat the Spiritual Puppets, found it difficult to suppress them.
However, Lin Chen’s actions pletely overturned their understanding.
With such martial prowess, was Lin Chen truly that strong, or was the Spiritual Puppet at the Seventh Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm just not up to the challenge?
"Senior brother, please save me,"
suddenly, as the three were observing Lin Chen’s swift defeat of the Spiritual Puppet, the woman with deep blue hair found herself being pushed back step by step by the puppet, her situation extremely dire.
After noticing Lin Chen’s formidable strength, she immediately called out to him for help.
Hearing this, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate and immediately wielded his sword with a flick of his hand.
Dealing with a martial artist of the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm might pose some difficulty for Lin Chen, but facing a Spiritual Puppet at the Ninth Layer, he had the ability to instantly kill it.
Because Lin Chen discovered that his Primordial Transformation Art naturally suppressed these Spiritual Puppets.
