The Floating Chariot had crashed into the mountain wall with a loud noise, naturally catching the attention of the Patrol Team mbers early on.
Without permission, they couldn't gather around to watch, but their curiosity scratched at them like a cat's claws.
The mont they had permission, they burst forth like wild horses set free.
Tang Yu shook his head.
Such naïve people.
Today, without any external missions, so mbers of the Patrol Team were on duty around various areas of the Sanctuary, while most of the rest, due to budget constraints, hadn't gone to training camp, practicing the preliminary moves for Heavy Slash wherever they could.
Older mbers of the Patrol Team, like Lu Xiaopeng and others, so had already successfully used Heavy Slash.
With two to three tis the power of a regular slash, it was enough to make anyone envious.
Among the newer mbers of the Patrol Team, Lan Qingya had also learned Heavy Slash after a few days of practice... Many of the guys felt ashad and were spurred on to train even harder.
"Although I can't use Heavy Slash yet, I've mastered the preliminary moves very well. I believe in at most three days, I'll be able to use Heavy Slash."
Zhao Ming was bursting with excitent, "And I've also found that even if I haven't fully learned Heavy Slash, just these preliminary moves have significantly enhanced my strength. Just last ti, I killed a Second-tier Demonized Beast all by myself!"
Such an achievent was sothing Zhao Ming wouldn't have even dared to dream of before.
When the dozen or so mbers of the Patrol Team arrived, they saw this human-shaped puppet standing more than two ters tall.
From its design, it was streets ahead of the basic, round puppets.
"Director Tang, have you developed a new type of puppet?"
In the minds of the Patrol Team mbers, puppets were developed through Director Tang's capabilities.
Although they didn't underestimate the previous standard Warrior Puppets, their own increasing strength had left them behind, and now, seeing this, they realized that as they progressed, Tang Yu, too, hadn't stopped moving forward. In such a short ti, he had developed even stronger puppets.
"That's right, the reason you were brought here was to test out the new puppet's strength. Just like before, the puppet isn't equipped with any weapons, but you can use anything at your disposal."
Tang Yu beckoned with his hand, and the Fighter Puppet stepped forward with several pounding steps. "The difference this ti is that even without any equipnt, this new kind of puppet can show the strength of a Second-tier Awakening. So, who wants to try it first?"
Looking at the people in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
This was indeed the right way to use the mbers of the Patrol Team.
The mont his words fell.
Zhao Ming stepped forward, "Second-tier strength? Well, that's perfect. I had just broken through to Second-tier Awakening two days ago. I've been worried about not having a worthy opponent. Competing with others is not as exhilarating as fighting a puppet!"
A playing field was marked out, and the two stood opposite each other.
With the start command, the Fighter Puppet charged straightforwardly, each footstep leaving a solid imprint on the ground, like a tank charging into battle.
Zhao Ming pulled out a Standard Battle Saber, his gaze intense, keeping his eyes firmly on the puppet.
Compared to his first ti fighting a basic Warrior Puppet, Zhao Ming had indeed grown a lot. He shouted loudly, raised his combat saber high, smoothly executed those preliminary moves for Heavy Slash, and with a whistling sound, he brought the blade slashing down towards the oncoming Fighter Puppet.
Although he still hadn't managed to invoke the Qi Blood Power to perform a true Heavy Slash, those preliminary moves had boosted his strength by at least two levels... He had tested this on the Punching Power Tester.
Confident about his strike, Zhao Ming believed that if he could land the hit successfully, he would gain a considerable advantage. Coupled with a series of combos, he could easily take down the puppet, which might also change a few girls' impression of him within the team!
That's what Zhao Ming thought.
In the next mont, the Fighter Puppet kicked out its leg. Before his combat saber could strike, a giant foot slamd into his stomach, sending him flying several ters away.
Zhao Ming was completely stunned.
This isn't right, how can they use their feet too!
Last ti fighting with the basic Puppet, I had never seen a Puppet launch an attack with its legs; that's against the rules, coach!
Zhao Ming staggered as he tried to stand up, only to find the Fighter Puppet had sohow already got to his front, with a large foot stopping less than five centiters from his face. As he moved, his face ran smack into it again.
The mbers of the Patrol Team couldn't help but cover their faces.
"This Zhao Ming, although I never had high hopes for him, getting KO'd in one round, isn't that a bit too quick?"
"Yeah, we've already seen those round, rolling Puppets last ti. This ti, since Director Tang said the Puppet had Second-tier Awakening strength, then in Second-tier, it's naturally top-notch. It's expected for Zhao Ming to lose, but to not last even one round... um, Zhao Ming is indeed too crappy."
"This is embarrassingly bad! Zhao Ming, just take off your skirt!"
Now, the general strength among Patrol Team mbers was of the Second-tier Awakening.
Although Zhao Ming had thrown in the towel, others were unconvinced. No matter what, they still had to perform well in front of Director Tang to prove that their strength wasn't that bad, it was just dragged down by Zhao Ming.
"I'll go!"
A robust big man stepped forward.
With Zhao Ming's performance as a warning, even though he thought he was much stronger than Zhao Ming, he didn't dare to be careless. As the battle began, the big man launched the attack first.
"Smack… smack."
The robust big man ended face down, flopping onto the ground.
"How is this possible, even Xing lost, and so quickly!"
"How many rounds was that? One point one, one point two, or one point five? It feels like it wasn't much better than Zhao Ming. What on earth did Xing do last night? He's so frail!"
Another mber of the Patrol Team with Second-tier strength entered.
The others watched nervously.
The shorter team mber was even more cautious, moving around while tentatively attacking.
"Good!"
Others thought to themselves. Though this shorter team mber could only strike at the Puppet's legs, there was an advantage to it—destroying the Puppet's leg joints would take away its speed advantage, then they would have the upper hand!
However, the next mont, everyone widened their eyes.
The Fighter Puppet suddenly lunged forward with a Violent Grab, lifting the short youth over its shoulder and smashing him down hard on the ground, following up with a combo, dealing a critical hit!
Zhao Ming: "..."
Others: "..."
This team mber, who was stronger and lasted longer, only made the gap more evident for everyone else.
Zhao Ming and the second team mber who went up had lost too quickly, leading everyone to falsely believe it wasn't that the Puppet was too strong, but rather those two were too weak. However, the harsh truth was, against the Puppet, they were all weak.
After several fights, not a single scratch appeared on the Puppet; standing there, it seed almost as if it was looking down on them.
The others hesitated to step forward.
Defeating the Puppet would of course score so points with Director Tang. If they could exchange a few rounds, they could also gain so insight, but...
Placing themselves in the shoes of those who had just fought, they realized that with their own strength, it wasn't about lasting a few rounds—lasting even one round would be a miracle.
The Patrol Team mber who had just mockingly told Zhao Ming to take off his skirt was now incredibly embarrassed. If he were to go up and get KO'd in one round, would he have to dress in the sa won's clothing and join Zhao Ming in taking off their skirts?
That would indeed be utterly humiliating!
