I Want to Burn the Sky

Guu Feng's body was constantly being cut by the dummies, but he still gritted his teeth and held on. The sword in his hand was thrust out at an incredible speed.    

With just his physical strength alone, Guu Feng sometimes felt as if he was chopping a piece of iron with great difficulty. The space between his thumb and forefinger was cracked open, and blood was flowing out. Even the muscles on his arm were somewhat stiff.    

However, it seemed like Guu Feng didn't notice it at all.    

At this moment, Guu Feng, who was waving his long sword, was like a god of slaughter. He was not afraid of facing so many puppets, and he just killed them without restraint.    

He wouldn't feel guilty if he killed these dummies. After all, they weren't people with flesh and blood. Therefore, at this moment, Guu Feng was almost going crazy from the battle.    

This kind of great battle was not only a form of training for him, but also a form of enjoyment for him!    

"Hiss! Hiss!"    

Wherever Guu Feng's sword reached, the dummies were killed one after another. Their heads rolled down and turned into balls of spiritual energy.    

Guu Feng's breathing was rapid and his eyes were wide open. He was determined to kill as many dummies as possible.    

...    

While Guu Feng was killing to his heart's content in the passageway, the others had already walked out from their respective passageways one after another.    

That burly man was the second one to walk out from the passageway. When he came out, he was already seriously injured, and he couldn't even stand up from the ground.    

He really couldn't hold on any longer. If he came out a little later, he would probably be killed by those dummies.    

"It's too terrifying. The puppets in this tunnel are simply too terrifying. There's no way to kill them all. After killing them, even more powerful puppets will appear."    

The brawny man placed the War Hammer aside and panted heavily.    

He took out some Spirit Essence Bone Particle and refined them. After resting for a while, he focused his attention on his surroundings.    

After a while, another fellow walked out from the passageway. The injuries on this fellow's body were not any lighter than the brawny man's.    

"This fellow came out a little later than me at night. Perhaps he will obtain more Puppet Core than me."    

The brawny man couldn't help but think.    

He had heard from Golden Armor Soldier before that there were only two slots for him to be on duty in the palace. He didn't want to be outdone by others.    

"Eh, that kid hasn't come out yet?"    

Looking around, the brawny man did not see Guu Feng.    

"It can't be. Did that kid really die in the passageway?"    

The man couldn't help but sigh, "Ai, look, just say that you're only an Awakening Late Period, it's not appropriate for you to participate in the palace's examination."    

"But you insisted on going in. Now, you're the one who was killed by the puppet. But who can you blame for that? You just refused to listen to me."    

In the burly man's point of view, none of the three Spirit Seed Early Period warriors could bear it any longer. Guu Feng was merely an Awakening Late Period warrior, there was no way he could last until now.    

The only possibility was that Guu Feng had already died in battle.    

The few of them waited for a while longer, but Guu Feng still didn't come out.    

The burly man was somewhat impatient. "General, why don't we announce the results of the competition? I think that little brother died in the assessment passageway. I have collected 269 Puppet Core."    

The brawny man said proudly.    

The other man also said happily, "I have collected three hundred and five ___s."    

As for the first person who came out, there was no joy on his face at this moment.    

He had only collected 217 pieces, which was not as good as the man and the other young man. No matter what, he had no chance of being selected.    

Golden Armor Soldier looked in the direction of the passageway and said, "Let's wait a little longer and see if the candidate will come out or not."    

He waited for more than an hour. Even Golden Armor Soldier was anxious.    

However, there was a rule in the examination that one could not come out even after half a day. That was why he could personally enter the passageway to check the situation. Therefore, he could only wait here.    

Another long time passed.    

Finally, the stone door of the passageway where Guu Feng was at rumbled open.    

"Hmm?"    

The young man looked over. How could he believe that Guu Feng was still alive after staying in the passageway for such a long time?    

This was unbelievable. A mere Awakening Late Period warrior was able to fight until now!    

However, very quickly, the young man realized an even more serious problem. "This... This guy just came out now. How many puppets did he kill? Did he collect more Puppet Core than me?"    

Thinking of this, the robust man became nervous.    

Not only the brawny man, even Golden Armor Soldier couldn't shift his gaze away from Guu Feng.    

He also didn't believe that Guu Feng, a mere Awakening Late Period, could last for such a long time.    

"Could it be that this little guy is hiding inside those dummies and hasn't killed them?"    

It wasn't strange for Golden Armor Soldier to think this way. Of course, he knew that the dummies in the passageway were getting more and more powerful. If Guu Feng hadn't killed any of the dummies and was just hiding, he might have been able to hold on until now.    

Therefore, Golden Armor Soldier was very curious. He really wanted to know how many Puppet Cores Guu Feng had obtained.    

"Guu Feng, take out the Puppet Core that you have obtained." Before Guu Feng could even get close to him, Golden Armor Soldier impatiently said.    

The burly man was staring at Guu Feng. Not only was he curious, he was also worried.    

He was worried that Guu Feng would really collect more Puppet Core than him, even though the possibility was almost zero.    

Guu Feng was a little distressed when he heard this.    

Because just as he killed the last puppet, there was a problem with the Puppet Core he had collected.    

Guu Feng opened his palm and showed the only remaining Puppet Core in his hand to Golden Armor Soldier.    

"Haha! Little brother, you have been in the passageway for such a long time. Could it be that you have only collected one Puppet Core?"    

Looking at the only Puppet Core in Guu Feng's palm, the burly man laughed heartily.    

Previously, he was worried that Guu Feng would collect more Puppet Core than him. But now, looking at it again, this worry was really unnecessary.    

"I was startled by a mere Mid Awakened. It's really embarrassing for me." The burly man felt embarrassed for himself.    

Just as the burly man was feeling pleased with himself, Golden Armor Soldier's gaze completely froze.    

He stared at the Puppet Core in Guu Feng's palm, and was shocked speechless for a long time.    

Guu Feng looked at Golden Armor Soldier who was standing in front of him. He wanted to explain to him that he had killed all the dummies in the passageway.    

However, just as Guu Feng was about to speak, Golden Armor Soldier spoke, "You... you actually killed all the dummies in the passageway!"    

Golden Armor Soldier picked up the Puppet Core in Guu Feng's palm. His hand trembled slightly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.    

When he heard Golden Armor Soldier's words, the burly man was stunned for a moment. "Didn't Guu Feng only obtain one Puppet Core? Sir, why did you say that he killed all the dummies?"    

Not only the brawny man, but also the other two men were puzzled.    

However, Golden Armor Soldier had no time to pay attention to them. He just stared at Guu Feng, wanting to hear his exact answer.    

"Yes, all the dummies were killed by me." Guu Feng said calmly.    

Golden Armor Soldier was delighted. "Like I said, if I didn't kill all those dummies, how could I have gotten this extraordinary Puppet Core?"    

This Puppet Core was extraordinary?    

Regarding this, Guu Feng was puzzled as well.    

Golden Armor Soldier also saw Guu Feng's confusion. He took an ordinary Puppet Core and placed it together with Guu Feng's Puppet Core. "Here, take a look."    

Guu Feng did not have time to look carefully in the assessment passageway earlier. Now, when he compared the two Puppet Cores, he really found that they were different.    

Guu Feng stared at the two Puppet Cores for a while and said, "The patterns on this Puppet Core of mine are much more exquisite than that one."    

Golden Armor Soldier smiled again and said, "That's right. This Puppet Core is ten times, a hundred times more exquisite than the other Puppet Core. You might not know, but this puppet formation is recorded on this exquisite Puppet Core."    

Guu Feng was startled. He really didn't expect that the technique to control this puppet would be recorded on this Puppet Core.    

Guu Feng was somewhat moved. "Then, this Puppet Core, will it be mine?"
