Chapter 1171: Special and Strange Figure
However, wasn’t this something only the Awakened possessed? Yet, the special red enchanted puppet before him, even though it now had a certain level of consciousness, it could not be considered fully alive.
Liu Yan shook his head. He didn’t dwell on it too much. Instead, he decided to gauge the combat strength of the special red enchanted puppet in this encounter.
On the open ground, the special red enchanted puppet was already locked in combat with several peculiar figures.
Currently, the special red enchanted puppet’s combat strength had reached 16-star combat strength.
The opposing peculiar figures also boasted a combat strength of about 16-star combat strength, or even higher.
In terms of combat strength, each of these figures surpassed the special red enchanted puppet. Moreover, in terms of numbers, they outnumbered it several to one.
One might assume these peculiar figures held the advantage.
However, once the battle commenced, this assumption was swiftly debunked.
The special red enchanted puppet refrained from utilizing any weapons, relying solely on its own agility in combat.
Fists, feet, elbows, knees… every part of its body served as a weapon.
It seemed that every part of its body could be used as a weapon.
As a result, the special red enchanted puppet’s fighting style was extremely flexible.
After all, normal Awakened typically only had one or two weapons, relying primarily on weapons to fight. Although they could also fight using other methods, their combat strength was definitely not as strong as when using weapons to attack, so there were certain limitations.
However, the special red enchanted puppet relied on its own body to fight, with every part of its body serving as a weapon. This meant that the special red enchanted puppet essentially had many weapons, making its fighting style naturally very flexible.
At the same time, the special red enchanted puppet could also easily deal with the attacks of those few strange figures.
Even though their opponents had greater strength than the special red enchanted puppet, their attacks couldn’t land on it at all. Instead, the special red enchanted puppet’s strikes consistently found their mark at the right moment, hitting their weak points with extreme precision.
The battle process of the special red enchanted puppet was indeed a sight to behold, appearing incredibly elegant and effective. It seemed more like a dance filled with artistry than a mere battle.
In fact, the special red enchanted puppet’s combat style had been close to this before. Liu Yan had noticed it earlier.
However, at that time, the special red enchanted puppet was not as proficient, and its execution of this combat style appeared somewhat awkward.
Unexpectedly, after some time apart, the special red enchanted puppet had grown on its own. Not only did it gain more self-awareness, but its combat style also became more proficient. Liu Yan understood that perhaps these two aspects had always been intertwined.
Precisely because the special red enchanted puppet possessed heightened self-awareness, it was able to wield this combat style with greater finesse.
Through the skirmish between the special red enchanted puppet and the peculiar figures, Liu Yan gleaned a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
There were four peculiar figures in total. Each boasted combat strength at the late-stage 16- star, surpassing that of the special red enchanted puppet.
Liu Yan was reassured that the combat strength of the four strange figures wasn’t very strong. Even though they could pose a threat to the special red enchanted puppet, it wouldn’t constitute a life-threatening danger or cause instant devastating blows to it. Therefore, Liu Yan relaxed and quietly observed the battle, admiring the special red enchanted puppet’s magnificent and highly effective fighting style.
Under the special red enchanted puppet’s onslaught, it cleverly evaded the attacks of the four strange figures and then retaliated at precisely the right moment.
Even though the opponents were stronger than the special red enchanted puppet, and they outnumbered it four to one, as the battle continued, the special red enchanted puppet gradually gained the upper hand, its advantage growing stronger.
Seeing this, it seemed that if this trend continued, it wouldn’t be long before the special red enchanted puppet could single-handedly deal with the four strange figures.
Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel amazed at this moment. He hadn’t anticipated such significant growth in the special red enchanted puppet.
Even now, the special red enchanted puppet’s strength still paled in comparison to Liu Yan’s, unable to truly assist him.
Yet, the speed of the special red enchanted puppet’s growth genuinely surprised Liu Yan. When Liu Yan was at this stage, his rate of progress was likely comparable.
It was worth noting that Liu Yan had an SSS-grade divine talent, Divine Extraction, which, under such talent blessings, allowed him to grow in strength so rapidly through various adventures and gains.
Yet, this special red enchanted puppet clearly hadn’t done anything. It had merely been acquired by Liu Yan, and after a period of time, it had already grown so much.
Such rapid progress truly astonished Liu Yan.
If this continued, it wouldn’t have been long before the special red enchanted puppet truly grew in power!
Liu Yan couldn’t help but anticipate the future. He wondered how powerful the special red enchanted puppet would become with continued growth, and how much self-awareness it
would develop.
Perhaps, one day, the special red enchanted puppet would possess its own consciousness and intelligence, becoming an independent life form.
As Liu Yan was lost in these thoughts, the ongoing battle swiftly brought him back to reality.
None of the four strange figures proved to be a match for the special red enchanted puppet. Not only did they fail to lay a hand on it, but they also sustained injuries from the special red enchanted puppet’s opportunistic strikes.
The four figures immediately dispersed and fled into the distance. Unable to pursue all four simultaneously, the special red enchanted puppet could only choose one target.
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Yan acted swiftly.
Activating his S-grade Lightning Attribute Talent, Liu Yan instantly gathered a considerable amount of lightning elemental powers and infused them into his SS-grade equipment, the
Thousand Thunder Halberd.
Four lightning bolts materialized and streaked out in four directions.
Unable to perceive the specific locations of the four strange figures, Liu Yan opted for a
blanket attack.
Four massive lightning bolts struck out.
Although Liu Yan’s Lightning Attribute Talent had only reached the talent level and was only S-grade, and its power was relatively ordinary, with the support of the SS-grade equipment, the Thousand Thunder Halberd, Liu Yan’s lightning attribute power was already remarkable. It was still completely sufficient to deal with a few strange figures whose combat strength did not even reach 17-star.
However, the ensuing scene caught Liu Yan completely off guard.
Despite the massive lightning bolts covering them, they failed to hit the strange figures at all.
Liu Yan couldn’t discern their true forms clearly, but with the aid of the faint shadows, he could see clearly that the four enormous lightning bolts completely enveloped these four
strange figures.
Yet, these figures appeared to be mere shadows without a physical form. The lightning bolts passed straight through them, unable to make contact.
Despite Liu Yan’s attempt to pursue, the surrounding fog descended, greatly impairing his
perception.
When Liu Yan attempted to give chase, the four strange figures had already disappeared into the distance. Liu Yan was unable to track their movements at all.
