Chapter 53: The Puppet Master Accompanies Lian

  "Su Dao Xing of Huqing Fu, Su Dao Xing who entered the list of famous people?"

  "Special Enrollment in the Holy Court?"

  The students in the government department were stunned. The woman they had just casually provoked was Kong Yue, the second place winner of the Holy Institute's special recruitment, a master-level figure. And now, they had provoked someone who they thought was an unknown minor character, but it turned out to be the sixth place winner of the Holy Institute's special recruitment, a person listed in the famous people's register. Good heavens, what was wrong with them? They always managed to provoke such freakishly talented individuals.

  "Go!"

  Two students of the Ministry of Politics, one from the Seventeenth Martial King Realm and the other from the Seventeenth Literary King Realm, were so afraid that Su Dao would wake up like Kong Yue that they didn't dare to offend him. They led the group of young men away directly.

  Su Dao Xing didn't want to cause trouble either, so when he saw the group of young men from the government department leave, he also left the mountain cliff and looked into the distance. He saw that in the center of Sheng Island there was a huge martial arts arena, and he flew towards it.

  Students who are qualified to come to the Sacred Island can take part in the entrance assessment. Those who are not qualified to enter the Seven Sacred Islands can only stay on the Sacred Island.

  The martial arts arena in the center of Sacred Island is extremely vast, comparable to a small city.

  In a corner of the vast martial arts arena that was too large to imagine, there were rows and rows of uniquely shaped houses.

  Su Dao woke up and arrived in front of these houses, muttering to himself: "These houses are the legendary Holy Institute's puppet training rooms."

  The Puppet Sparring Room is a major feature of the Holy Institute, where there are some puppets in the room that can accompany students to practice and enhance their combat experience.

  The houses Su Dao Xing saw were actually puppet training rooms.

  Fifteen Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room, Sixteen Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room, Seventeen Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room, Eighteen Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room, Cultivator's Puppet Accompanying Practice Room.

  Outside each puppet practice room there are twenty round stone pillars for students to line up and enter the puppet practice room.

  Each student can enter the puppet practice room for half an hour.

  Su Dao Xing took a look and found that there were fifteen students waiting in line outside the Fifteenth Rank Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room, ten students waiting in line outside the Sixteenth Rank Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room, and only five students waiting in line outside the Seventeenth Rank Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room. He thought for a moment before joining the queue outside the Seventeenth Rank Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room.

  Su Dao Xing sat cross-legged on a circular stone pedestal, eyes closed in meditation.

  After several hours, it was Su Dao's turn to wake up. He got up and walked into the Seventeenth Frame Wu Wang Puppet Accompanying Practice Room.

  Inside the practice room is a vast space, with special rubber walls on all sides. The murals carved on the walls have reached the point of being lifelike, and the scenery above is vivid, making students who enter feel as if they are in a world of birdsong and flowers.

  In a corner of the practice room, a puppet with a body made entirely of copper and iron stood there, its cold iron eyes staring at Su Dao Xing as he walked in.

  Su Dao Xing took a closer look at the puppet, and found that its body was made of metal material. The puppet had no weak points or vulnerabilities, and its only weakness seemed to be its inflexible movements.

  "Please!"

  Su Dao Xing bowed his head in the morning as a puppeteer.

  The puppet moved, and with one movement, it emitted a powerful aura. The aura behind him condensed into the illusory shadow of a saint.

  "Is this puppet created by the Martial Saint Tang Xie?" Su Dao Xing's mind was filled with questions.

  The imposing manner of the puppeteer was so great that it could make the Seventeenth Rank Martial King yield on the spot, not daring to respond.

  Su Dao Xing did not hesitate for a moment and directly expressed his own intentions. Since the puppet wanted to compare notes, he didn't mind.

  Su Dao Xing's body condensed into a holy temple's virtual shadow after he woke up.

  A strange scene appeared.

  The illusory shadow of Wu Sheng Tang Xi behind the puppet actually bowed to Su Dao Xing's holy temple shadow.

  The temple of intention has once again made the saint of intention bow his head.

  The puppet scattered its intention and leaped with a burst of speed, landing beside Su Dao Xing's body in an instant, leaving onlookers astonished.

  Clap! Clap! Clap!

  The puppet continuously slapped out eighteen palm prints that landed on Su Dao Xing's eighteen fatal acupoints.

  Fortunately, Su Dao Xing had tempered his death point, so even if the puppet struck his death point, it only caused him unbearable pain and did not make him lose his combat strength.

  Su Dao Xing continuously slapped eight palm prints on the puppet's body, each slap only leaving a shallow mark, without even harming a single hair of the puppet.

  Bitter smile!

  Su Dao Xing could only bitterly smile again.

  The puppet's defense is simply invincible, with no dead spots and no weaknesses.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Su Dao Xing and the puppet exchanged blows over a hundred times, with the puppet beating Su Dao Xing until he let out miserable cries one after another. Su Dao Xing's attacks only managed to slow down the puppet's movements by half a beat.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Su Dao Xing displayed his Xingyiquan, Yequan, Heji, and Sanquan, but none of them could defeat the puppet. For half an hour, he was being beaten without landing a single hit on the puppet.

  Wow!

  Su Dao Xing let out a long breath, the time had come, he walked out of the puppet training room with sore muscles. As soon as he left the training room, he suddenly felt a warm sensation in the places where he was heavily hit earlier.

  Just now, the puppet's blow to him was not just a blow, but it opened up some of the meridians that had been blocked in his body and shattered some of the stagnant dregs in his body.

  Su Dao Xing only then understood why students were fighting to enter the puppet accompaniment room, it turned out that accompanying puppets had such benefits.

  "Classmate, seeing that you're covered in wounds, do you need the Sacred Institute's special wound-healing sacred medicine?" A student with a leather strap around his neck, carrying a medicine box on it, came to Su Dao Xing's side. "One bottle of sacred medicine is only one Seven Saints Coin."

  "Go! Stop deceiving people. One Seventh Saint Coin is what a student gets for one academic credit, and your entire box of so-called sacred medicine isn't even worth one Seventh Saint Coin." A man in a long shirt, Moon Wind Minister, walked over from afar.

  "Yue Xuechang, you've come to Shengyuan." Su Daowu was overjoyed to see his old friend Yue Fengchen.

  Yu Feng's demeanor remained the same, his moon-white changshan still exuded elegance, not at all like a martial king, but rather a literary king. Standing alongside Quan Heng, their temperament was extremely similar.

  "Alright, from now on you're a specially admitted student of the Holy Institute, so just call me Feng Chen from now on, to avoid any opinions from the teachers here." Yue Feng Chen said seriously, "The Holy Institute has many rules, you'll find out later."

  "Monthly study... Wind Minister, how did you obtain the sacred order and enter the Holy Island?" Su Dao Xing curiously looked at Yue Feng Chen.

  Yu Feng's face turned slightly red as he smiled awkwardly and said, "I joined a department in the imperial court that guards important figures of the royal family. The emperor specially allowed me to enter the Holy Institute for studies."

  "Oh!" Su Dao woke up with a start, "It turns out you can enter the Holy Institute like this."

  The shame on Yu Fengchen's face deepened.

  Su Dao Xing hastily changed the subject and asked: "Has Yue Sheng Nu Yue Tian Wu arrived at the Holy Institute?"

  "Qian Wang, Tian Wu, Quan Heng, Tang Yu, Su Dao Lin, we were transported to the Holy Island together through the transmission array ten days earlier than you." Yue Feng Chen pulled Su Dao Lin to a martial arts arena and pointed at it, saying: "There will be a good show soon."

  "Good show on stage?" Su Dao Xing looked around at the students rushing to the performance stage and asked in a low voice, "Is someone going to duel on the performance stage soon? Qian Wang, Quan Heng, or Yue Tian Wu?"

  Su Dao's eyes lit up.

  Yue Feng's face turned red as he said, "I forgot that Dao Xing is also a special student. In a moment, the six special students will take the stage one by one to accept challenges from everyone. This is the rule of Sheng Yuan, in order to let those non-special students see how powerful the special students are and prove that Sheng Yuan does not randomly recruit special students."

  "Special students must accept the challenge of all students in the same boundary on the martial arts stage, and only the last winner can officially become a student of Shengyuan. Special students who cannot win can only take the entrance examination with other students."

  "There have been cases in the history of Shengyuan where special students failed to win, and the reputation of that special student immediately plummeted to the bottom. Even if they left Shengyuan, they would become a laughing stock in the outside world. That special student had no choice but to stay in Shengyuan as a gatekeeper."

  Su Dao Xing only then understood that becoming a student of Sheng Yuan through special recruitment wasn't so easy after all, there was also this practical combat assessment.

  Just as Su Dao Xing and Yue Feng Chen were talking, a figure flashed over from afar. It was Sun Zheng Dao.

  Sun Zhen muttered breathlessly to himself: "I finally made it to the martial arts arena, I didn't miss the special recruitment challenge."

  "Sun Zhendao!"

  "Su Dao Xing!"

  The two were strangers who had never met before, both being specially recruited students of the Holy Institute. When they met, they naturally put on a harmonious appearance and bowed to each other.

  "Look! The ranking is out. As expected of Wen Wang's number one, the Saint Institute's specially recruited student and first place winner, his talent can be compared to that of a legendary painting saint."

  "Quan Heng's paintings have already reached a profound level, and the paintings he creates can be materialized with his true energy. It is said that Quan Heng once came to the Holy Institute to create a longevity painting for a prince, and the deer in the painting walked out and took shape for as long as it took to burn an incense stick before disappearing."

  "Considering it is simply a small holy painting."

  "Quan Heng is indeed the leader of the Hundred Arts Assembly, and he is a talent among talents."

  As soon as it appeared, it sparked a heated debate.

  Kong Yue and Yue Tian danced together.

  "One is like a spring valley orchid, one is a woman who doesn't yield to men, specially recruited as the second and third place, indeed living up to their reputation."

  Kong Yue and Yue Tianwu, two goddess-level beauties, appeared, naturally causing a stir.

  "The Emperor has arrived!"

  "I have seen the King of Heaven!"

  Tang Qian arrived with a dark face, and the students all bowed their heads in greeting.

  "That young man holding a gun, who looks like the god of killing, is Sun Zhendao, the legendary killer of the military department. Although he is still young, he has a general's demeanor and his future prospects are boundless."

  Sun Zhen's arrival also attracted the attention of many students.

  "Special recruit sixth, entered the celebrity book, Hu Qing Fu's first Wu Wang Su Dao Xing woke up, rumored to have defeated celebrity Su Dao Lin, scaring Shun Chen's first Wu Wang Rong Yao into retreating without a fight, someone who had once fought Tang Qian, the king of Qian, to a draw."

  The six students specially recruited by the Holy Court, Quan Heng, Kong Yue, Yue Tianwu, Tang Qianming were all famous, only Sun Zhengdao and Su Daowu were slightly less well-known. However, compared to non-specially recruited students, the two were also famous figures.

  "The six students specially invited by Seiin have all arrived, it's time for the Special Enrollment Challenge."

  Students eagerly await the start of the special recruitment challenge competition.
