"This is it!"

After passing through several heavily sealed passages, Jiang Yuan and Yu Tu followed the spirit of the palace to a storage room that was hidden very well.

“All those spirit-grade materials have been used up. Now, only these things are left in the weapon-refining pavilion. If you can fit them all in, take them all!” The spirit of the palace opened the door of the storage room generously.

The storage room opened, and a dazzling array of refining materials appeared before Jiang Yuan.

"Hiss!" Jiang Yuan gasped. He was also shocked by what he saw. Among the Spirit Awakeners after the cataclysm, he was one of the few who had seen a lot, but he still couldn't remain calm when he saw so many refining materials.

Unlike his surprise, Yu Tu seemed uninterested in the contents of the storage room. She pouted and complained, "Why are there so many broken stones? There aren't many decent weapons in such a large weapon-refining pavilion!"

Seeing the two people behaving differently, the spirit of the palace revealed a wicked smile and said, "Kid, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan sensed something was wrong.

As expected, when the storage room door was fully opened, two puppets behind it stood there dumbfounded. When Jiang Yuan looked over, the two puppets' eyes lit up, and dense spiritual energy appeared on their bodies.

"These are super ninth-tier puppets filled with divine blood power, responsible for guarding this storage room. If you want to get the things in the storage room, you have to exhaust the divine blood power in their bodies!" The spirit of the palace said with a sly smile. It did not expect that Jiang Yuan could kill two puppets. After all, two super ninth-tier puppets dealing with one eighth-tier puppet would be a complete crushing defeat. However, it was still feasible to wear down the super ninth-tier puppets by attrition.

"Super Ninth Rank!" Jiang Yuan's facial muscles twitched involuntarily. This was really giving him a high opinion of himself, directly providing two Super Ninth Rank puppets.

"You can decide for yourselves. If you can't win, you'll have to back out and give up these refining materials!" With a wave of its hand, the spirit of the palace closed the door of the storage room and then disappeared from the spot.

"Remember, if you can't beat them, call for help. I'll lend a hand because you're a purple-robed disciple!"

The spirit of the temple had completely disappeared, and even Jiang Yuan could not sense any trace of it.

"Uh, what about me?" Yu Tu was quite frightened, especially when the two super ninth-tier puppets suddenly turned around and stared at the two of them. She was completely caught off guard.

Moreover, the spirit of the palace just said that she would only lend a helping hand because of the purple-robed disciple's status. Does that mean that she, as a white-robed disciple, is not qualified to be saved? This is blatant class discrimination!

"One for each person, or you won't get any here!" Jiang Yuan's tone was cold. In his precarious situation, he didn't show any kindness by saving others.

"But I never intended to have it!" Yu Tu had never felt so wronged. She didn't come here voluntarily; Jiang Yuan had dragged her here. She never expected that this irresponsible guy would abandon her so easily. How could she not feel wronged?

"The one on the left has 1400 strength points, it's yours!"

Before the puppet was fully activated, Jiang Yuan assigned tasks to the two of them.

"What about the one on the right? Can you beat him?" Yu Tu immediately chickened out when she heard that he had 1,400 points of strength. However, she was more worried about Jiang Yuan's opponent. After all, she had 1,400 points of strength, so his must have at least 1,500 points.

"Don't worry, it's only 1100!"

Jiang Yuan said this without changing his expression, but Yu Tu's expression was quite interesting.

"Wait, did you assign the wrong one? I should have picked the one for 1100!" Yu Tu quickly moved to the right side.

"No, no, no, you're the one at 1400! The capable should do more, after all, you're a ninth-tier expert, you have to take care of me, the weakling!" Jiang Yuan gave a gentle push, and Yu Tu lost his balance and stumbled backward and ran towards the super ninth-tier puppet at 1400.

"Apostle, you son of a bitch..."

Before she could finish her rant, Yu Tu was speechless, because the super ninth-tier puppet she was fighting had already beaten her so badly that she couldn't even lift her head.

"bring it on!"

Jiang Yuan waited patiently, while the remaining puppet launched an attack without warning.

There was a reason he had Yu Tu choose the puppet with 1400 power. These puppets were powered by divine blood, and he didn't want to deplete that power. Therefore, he needed to eliminate both puppets as quickly as possible. If he let Yu Tu fight the weaker one while he dealt with the stronger one, the battle would be inconclusive in a short time. The best outcome would be for both puppets to exhaust their divine blood, ending the fight. While that would be a victory, it wouldn't be a win-win situation.

The divine battle has not yet cooled down, and he still doesn't have the Five Elements Rings, so his current fighting methods are extremely limited.

However, he could take this opportunity to hone his skills in the fighting style of ancient martial artists. Whether it was the Four Seasons Spear Technique or Tai Chi, these were combat techniques with unlimited potential. If used properly, they could achieve battles beyond one's level without the aid of divine power.

"Ultimate Armor Tattoo!"

Just to be on the safe side, he activated his defenses and then thrust out his spear as a first probe.

A power level of 1,100 already exceeds the upper limit of the ninth rank of 999. To become a super ninth rank would mean a qualitative leap in attack power, which is incomparable to the ninth rank.

Bang!

The spear was blasted back. The attack of the super ninth-tier puppet far exceeded Jiang Yuan's expectations. He originally thought that the puppet he created could only use brute force, and even if it was strong, it wouldn't be that strong. But after one contact, he realized that he had been careless. This puppet's reaction speed and attack strength were no different from a normal super ninth-tier puppet.

"Again!"

Xia Lei was startled!

The spear struck the neck of the ninth-tier puppet like lightning. The puppet didn't dodge at all, but simply grabbed the silver spear tip with its bare hand.

The God-Slaying Spear, which was once incredibly sharp and unstoppable, was now stuck in the hands of a ninth-tier puppet.

"Who designed this puppet? Do they think materials are free?!" Jiang Yuan struggled to pull back the God-Slaying Spear, and his attack only left a faint white mark on the puppet's hand.

"Apostle, save me! I can't hold on any longer!"

Before they could even gain an advantage here, Yu Tu was in dire straits. She was on the verge of collapse and couldn't hold out for more than a few minutes against a super ninth-tier puppet with 1,400 points of strength.

"It's none of my business if they die!" Jiang Yuan was ruthless, directly severing ties with Yu Tu. If he were to take on two super ninth-tier beings, he would be powerless without the support of divine battle and the Five Elements Ring techniques.

"You filthy man, I must have been blind to have gone with you!"

Yu Tu cursed loudly, but her movements were swift and decisive. She dodged frantically like a rabbit, and the super ninth-tier puppet with 1,400 points of strength was unable to do anything to her in a short time.

"See, you'll never know how awesome you are until you push yourself!" Jiang Yuan turned his head to face his opponent directly.

He couldn't just dodge and not fight like Yu Tu; if he did, he wouldn't get any of the divine blood power in the puppet. His goal was the divine blood power, so he had to defeat the puppet with minimal consumption.

"Physical Technique - Wild Spirit!"
