Urban Invincible Overlord

Gan Qian was also completely bewildered and shocked.

Without explaining to his fellow brothers and sisters, he hurried into the room.

The other six members of the Lingxiao Sect immediately followed.

Behind them, Tong Yunshu, Zhuge Cang, Helian Zhan, and Wang Chunyang also crowded into the room. The people who came afterward had to wait outside due to limited space inside.

Inside the room, the candlelight illuminated everything, allowing the Foundation Establishment Cultivators to see the situation clearly.

Yang Fei looked excited, while Qin Yanyang's expression was complex.

In the corner, Chai Xun sat on the ground with a wooden expression, ignoring the crowd entering the room, showing no reaction.

Seeing this scene, Gan Qian's pupils slightly contracted. He took a deep breath and said to Yang Fei: "Yang Daoist, what... what have you done to Chai Xun?"

Yang Fei laughed and said, "I successfully turned him into a spiritual puppet."

After speaking, he waved to Chai Xun, "Come over."

Upon hearing Yang Fei's voice, Chai Xun immediately rose and walked over as if he had received an imperial decree.

His blood and Qi flowed smoothly, and he appeared to have no issues at all, except that his face showed no expression, and his eyes were empty and soulless, like a walking corpse.

The crowd was shocked and frightened. Gan Qian took a deep breath, moved beside Chai Xun, and carefully examined him.

Ye Wuya and others also curiously examined Chai Xun.

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang did the same.

Moments later, everyone looked surprised, while Gan Qian was utterly shocked, looking at Yang Fei and asked, "You... you really succeeded?"

Yang Fei, excited, said, "Yes, following the basic knowledge of puppetry that you taught me, I refined special instructions on his Primordial Spirit's chaotic body and then reinserted them into his Sea of Consciousness. He woke up and only obeys my commands."

Hissing sound...

Gan Qian and the Lingxiao Sect group took in sharp breaths.

Yang Fei made it sound simple, but those familiar with puppetry knew how difficult this feat truly was.

Even with the special effect of the Soul Binding Rope, mastering the method of consciousness insertion into a puppet is extremely challenging.

Yet, the young man in front of them accomplished it in just a few days and even successfully integrated the modified Primordial Spirit chaotic body into Chai Xun's Sea of Consciousness, perfectly accepting the new consciousness.

It sounds easy, but each step is very complicated and challenging.

But Yang Fei did it.

Helian Zhan, Wang Chunyang, Zhuge Cang, and Tong Yunshu were not as shocked as the Lingxiao Sect members, but seeing Yang Fei control Chai Xun, a late Foundation Establishment expert, like a machine was still quite astounding.

Zhuge Cang couldn't help but say, "Yang Fei, is this the puppetry of the Cultivation World? Why does it look like corpse control technique?"

Yang Fei rolled his eyes, "What corpse control technique? This is genuine puppetry, alright? It's the highest level spiritual puppet."

Zhuge Cang snorted, "It's no different from corpse control technique."

Yang Fei was speechless.

Tong Yunshu curiously asked, "Yang Fei, does he listen to everything you say? Is he your puppet now?"

Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, he does whatever I tell him to."

Tong Yunshu said, "Then give me the other puppets. I've recently had insights on the array on the Spirit Ship and want to try forming a mobile defense array with these puppets."

Yang Fei's eyes lit up, "Oh? A mobile defense array?"

Tong Yunshu nodded, "Yes, if successful, with these Foundation Establishment puppet experts overseeing, we can establish stronger defenses at the main peak of White Jade City, enhancing flexibility. We could even further modify them to incorporate offensive arrays, maximizing their effectiveness."

Yang Fei laughed, "Your idea and mine coincide. Alright, once I finish refining these puppets, I'll give them to you."

Tong Yunshu was delighted but then worried, "Will they listen to me?"

Yang Fei laughed, "They'll listen to whoever I command them to, rest assured."

Gan Qian then said, "Yang Fei, have Chai Xun duel with me to see how well you refined this spiritual puppet."

Yang Fei glanced at him, "You think there's a problem with my puppetry technique?"

Gan Qian shook his head, "I'm not sure. This is my first time encountering a spiritual puppet. I'm just curious. I also know Chai Xun's power, so testing his combat ability now will reveal if his strength has been compromised after being refined into a spiritual puppet."

Yang Fei's eyes lit up, nodding, "That's a good suggestion."

Thus, everyone moved outside.

Yang Fei whistled, and Chai Xun eventually walked out of the room.

Gan Qian cast a Fireball Technique directly at Chai Xun.

The originally wooden Chai Xun suddenly looked at the attacking fireball, raised his hand, and struck with his palm.

The Fireball Technique was merely Gan Qian's probe, lacking power, and Chai Xun's palm shattered it.

However, he did not continue attacking Gan Qian, seemingly only passively defending when threatened.

Yang Fei commanded Chai Xun, "Attack!"

Upon receiving Yang Fei's command, Chai Xun expressionlessly rushed towards Gan Qian.

His speed was extreme, and within a blink, he was in front of Gan Qian, punching towards Gan Qian's head.

His movements were quick, and the punch was powerful, yet to everyone, these actions seemed wooden, mechanical, lacking liveliness.

Originally, Gan Qian was no match for Chai Xun's strength, but facing this Martial Artist-like close combat attack, he maneuvered with ease, even occasionally forcing Chai Xun into a difficult position with spells.

The excitement on Yang Fei's face vanished, replaced by a furrowed brow.

After a moment, Gan Qian said, "Enough."

Yang Fei told Chai Xun, "Stop."

Chai Xun immediately stopped his Punch Power, standing like a wooden pole.

Gan Qian shook his head at Yang Fei, "Your spiritual puppet is at most one-third successful."

Yang Fei flushed, humbly asking, "Yeah, I thought it was fully successful, but it's dumb, even forgetting how to fight and duel."

Gan Qian shook his head, "He has already lost his self-awareness; all his past memories are gone. His brain is blank, and as the puppet master, whatever knowledge you input, he will execute that. So the strength of his combat ability depends on you as the puppet master."

Yang Fei silently nodded, "So, like this, he is just a defective puppet?"

Gan Qian said, "Yes. To truly unleash his combat power, you need to input combat modes like Fire Control Technique, Sword Control Technique, Thunder Control Technique, and other attack methods, along with Earth Escape, Water Escape, Wood Escape for survival skills."

Yang Fei took a deep breath, "This... is so difficult."

Gan Qian felt reassured; he genuinely thought Yang Fei's puppetry skills were extraordinarily brilliant.

"Yes, refining a true spiritual puppet is extremely challenging. But, for someone who just learned puppetry, achieving this level is already very impressive," Gan Qian said.

Yang Fei felt dejected.

It seems the various skills in the Cultivation World are not as simple as he imagined; just the path of puppetry alone requires immense effort to master.
