Wang Xiu clenched his fist slightly.
He used his Divine Sense to perceive his current state.
With a rough scan, he found that the armor he wore contained no fewer than a thousand tiny but intricate Formations.
When he channeled his Mana through it, hundreds of the Formations lit up in an instant, amplifying his Mana by more than fifty percent.
When he moved his limbs, the immense strength Formations and propulsion structures attached to the joints would multiply his power, allowing him to easily unleash devastating force.
I estimate that even an ordinary Core Formation Stage disciple from the Sect, upon wearing this armor, would possess combat power comparable to the Golden Core Stage.
"The armor comes with a built-in Spirit Gathering Array, which can automatically draw Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth to replenish its energy during downtime! Under normal conditions, the fully charged armor can sustain continuous combat for about eight hours..." she explained. "Moreover, it can automatically repair minor damage!"
When it came to matters concerning Puppets, Mo Wuwei’s entire demeanor changed. She spoke rapidly, her expression serious and confident.
She adjusted her monocle and continued, "However, if the combat is too intense, the armor’s endurance will be significantly reduced! If the damage is too severe, the built-in repair structures won’t be sufficient... It will have to be taken to the Manipulation Sect!"
Wang Xiu nodded, then a thought struck him. "Then... can it be charged with Spirit Stones?"
Mo Wuwei hesitated for a moment before saying, "It’s possible, but... that would be too extravagant! Unless it’s an emergency, it’s better to let it recover energy on its own!"
Wang Xiu indicated that he understood.
Of course, I wouldn’t be so extravagant as to charge the armor with Spirit Stones regularly. But in a critical battle, Spirit Stones are certainly less important than my life. These details are worth knowing!
Just then, the Communication Token at Mo Wuwei’s waist began to glow.
She hurriedly answered it.
With a flash of light, the figure of a disheveled, carefree old man with a scruffy white beard and hair appeared before them. He was sitting in a room piled high with various materials, seemingly busy with something.
"Weiwei! Weren’t you just delivering something to that kid from the Divination Sect? Why have you been gone so long? Did that little bastard pester you?" Gongshu Wumao huffed, stroking his beard with a look of displeasure. "Let me tell you, there are no good people in the Divination Sect! That kid’s master is a scoundrel. He’s owed us money for that coffin for years and still hasn’t paid!
"He’s definitely no good person either! Don’t be fooled just because he’s somewhat handsome! These days, the better-looking a man is, the more deceitful he is!"
The moment the connection was established, a barrage of words shot out from Gongshu Wumao’s mouth like a machine gun.
Wang Xiu, listening on the side, felt the corner of his mouth twitch.
Good heavens. So my master never paid for her coffin? But thinking about it, that makes sense. Luo Binglan has been lying in that thing for nine years now. Back then, the Divination Sect was already completely broke. After the battle of Demon Sea Island, Luo Binglan nearly lost her life, and whatever treasures and Spirit Stones she had were almost all gone. How could she possibly have afforded that ’Transformer’?
Mo Wuwei coughed several times, trying to hide her awkwardness. "No... no... I was waiting for him and got so engrossed in making Puppet Hounds that I lost track of time!"
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Wumao furrowed his brow. "Waiting for him? That brat dared to make you wait? Does he want me to go over there right now and strip the boards off his master’s coffin?"
[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +666!]
Wang Xiu wiped a bead of sweat from his brow.
Good heavens. This old man has quite a temper, too!
Seeing his reaction, Mo Wuwei couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle softly. In that instant, she radiated a captivating charm.
While Wang Xiu was momentarily stunned, Gongshu Wumao suddenly asked, "Is that brat from the Divination Sect there with you?"
Wang Xiu coughed and bowed respectfully. "Junior Wang Xiu greets Martial Uncle Gongshu!"
Gongshu Wumao snorted. "Kid, I don’t know what great merit you performed for the Sect Leader to procure one of my treasures as your reward, but you’d better remember this: the Mo Yu Qilin Armor is Weiwei’s heart and soul. If you dare ruin it... Humph!
"Never mind that your master is lying in a coffin I built! Even if she were perfectly fine back on Spirit Turtle Peak, I would not let you off lightly. Understand?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiu instinctively glanced at Mo Wuwei, then replied with a sincere expression, "Martial Uncle, rest assured. The Armor Puppet crafted by Senior Sister Mo is perfect in both form and spirit, with unparalleled power. It is truly the greatest I have ever seen in my life! I... I will treasure it as I would my own life!"
Hearing his voice, as earnest as a confession, a blush suddenly crept onto Mo Wuwei’s snow-white cheeks, and she silently lowered her head.
Gongshu Wumao hummed with satisfaction. "Hmph, at least you know what’s good, kid! An Armor Puppet that can integrate with its master is one of the most secret treasures of our Manipulation Sect... It contains endless mysteries and boundless Creation. Its divine craftsmanship is second to none! Looking across all of Nanzhou, it has absolutely no rival!"
[Detected someone bragging outrageously. Bragging Critical Hit triggered. System’s high threshold reached. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Mana +1,888, Mana Quality +1,888!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Complete Experience Card for the Grand Cycle Divine Controlling Classic!]
Wang Xiu was ecstatic. "!!!"
As expected! Unlocking new characters is the way to go! A critical hit on the very first try! Compared to him, Senior Jiang Yourong is a decent braggart, but she’s done it too many times. There are no new tricks or routines. It’s become very hard to get the System this excited!
As the notifications rang out, a surge of potent Mana instantly flooded Wang Xiu’s body, pushing him to the absolute pinnacle of the Core Formation’s Ninth Heaven.
Meanwhile, hearing Gongshu Wumao’s words, a scarlet blush of embarrassment appeared on Mo Wuwei’s face. "That’s enough, Master," she said hurriedly. "The item has been delivered. I’ll be right back!"
"Hmph! You stubborn girl, insisting that the Mo Yu Qilin Armor is your most perfect creation and that you had to personally hand it over to its next master... Why would you even go to that foul place of the Divination Sect? Enough talk, come back right now! And don’t talk too much with that little charlatan. If he says you have a dark aura between your brows or something, don’t believe him. It’s all fake!"
After muttering a few more words, Gongshu Wumao directly ended the call.
Wang Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
If that conversation had continued, my Cultivation Level might have jumped up even higher.
Mo Wuwei put away the Communication Token, pursed her lips, and said with a flushed face, "Don’t listen to my master’s nonsense. Actually, I didn’t craft the Mo Yu Qilin Armor by myself. It was a joint effort between me and nine Nascent Soul Stage Elders. It took us over a hundred days. While its power is considerable, being unrivaled in Nanzhou... that’s impossible! However, this Armor Puppet should have no problem serving you until you reach the Nascent Soul Stage!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⚑fire.net
Wang Xiu was torn between laughter and tears.
This girl is so honest! Does your master know you’re undermining him ?
