"There's only one puppet left. Should we continue dismantling it?" several teachers asked wearily.

The successive destruction of several puppets greatly frustrated them, making it seem as if it were an impossible task.

Disassembling the core of this puppet is comparable to performing delicate surgery on a person.

At this moment, Chen Yi stepped forward and said, "Let me do the last one!"

Are you sure?

Several Cangyan teachers asked in surprise.

It should be noted that the power of this puppet's self-destruction is comparable to that of a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator's self-destruction.

At this distance, if Chen Yi were to be hit by a single blow, he would be severely injured or even killed.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yi smiled confidently and said, "Of course!"

The teachers then looked at Wang Bian.

If a student from Xiande were to die in Cangyan, it would be difficult to explain, since the overall academic performance of Xiande students is not as good as that of Cangyan students, but the principal of Xiande is quite powerful.

Even Principal Wang Jun of Cangyan School didn't dare to easily provoke Ma Guangzhi...

"What are you looking at me for? Get out of the way!" Wang Bian shouted.

Chen Yi could defeat him, how could he possibly be killed by this puppet?

"OK."

Several teachers stepped aside, making way for the last puppet.

"call!"

Chen Yi approached the puppet and took a deep breath.

In fact, he didn't know how to dissect it either, but he chose to believe the entry.

He drew his Yangwen Sword and slashed at the puppet's arm.

Several teachers' eyelids twitched wildly. How come this technique is even cruder than ours?

They were prepared to withstand the explosion.

However, nothing happened.

"How is that possible?"

They were stunned.

From the dismantling of those puppets, they had already witnessed just how exaggerated the Puppet Company's anti-dismantling technology was.

It's no exaggeration to say that this puppet is like a bomb. During the dismantling process, any blood vessel, joint, or even mole could be disconnected incorrectly, triggering the core self-destruct program.

But Chen Yi dismantled it drastically and without any problems whatsoever.

"Is it wrong for us to dismantle it piece by piece? Do we have to take it apart completely?" a teacher asked, looking completely bewildered.

Actually, they're overthinking it.

Chen Yi didn't know how to disassemble it either, but because of the existence of the [Basic Structure] entry, as long as he removed the puppet's large parts, such as arms, hands, and shoulder blades, it would not trigger the core alarm.

If the teachers' previous analysis was like performing an extremely delicate surgical procedure on the operating table, requiring them to be careful, follow the rules, and dissect layer by layer until they found the "tumor".

At that moment, Chen Yi seemed to be dismembering a body or taking apart building blocks; the difficulty was on a completely different level.

The puppets seemed like building blocks to him, which he could disassemble at will without triggering the core self-destruct program.

In just a few minutes, Chen Yi had completely disassembled the puppet.

Before him were two purplish-black spheres, with faint red lines visible on them.

"You mean, the root cause of the loss of control is that someone implanted other rune arrays into the puppet's testicles, uh, that thing?" a female teacher asked with a strange look.

Chen Yi nodded.

"Such secrecy could not have been achieved without someone from the Puppet Company."

"When something like this happens, is it because the entire company's top management has fallen into evil ways, or has some evil force infiltrated?"

The teachers looked solemn.

Chen Yi spent a few more minutes reinstalling the puppet. "Alright, it won't go out of control anymore."

Wang Bian looked at the puppet with pity, "Fortunately, you are a puppet, so being sterilized is not a bad thing."

Several teachers were amazed by Chen Yi's mastery of puppetry.

The packaging was both unpacked and repackaged, and it's still usable after assembly—the technology is top-notch!

At this moment, one of the teachers suddenly received a message and said to the others, "Liu Yuetong from Jiuding High School secretly sent a message to the teacher in charge of her school, saying that she suspects she has discovered an evil cultivator!"

"Then let's hurry out and take a look!"

A male teacher wore an expression of righteous indignation; his family had once been harmed by evil practitioners.

"Be careful, don't alert them..."

Wang Bian and Chen Yi exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

The former was because evil practitioners were lurking in his school, and because of his relationship with the principal, he had no choice but to take it seriously.

The latter was simply because he wanted to see which heretical practitioner was so bold.

During the last monthly exam in Xiande, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the puppet.

If he hadn't been powerful enough, something terrible would probably have happened if the puppet hadn't gone out of control this time.

Therefore, he harbored a desire for revenge against the heretical practitioners involved in the incident.

The two arrived at the arena where Liu Yuetong was.

The training ground was already packed with people, and it was obvious that they were all heading towards Liu Yuetong.

As for her opponent in the practical exam, it was someone from Shanhai Middle School.

This person from the mountains and seas is the legendary transfer student who once studied under the Golden Core sect.

As for why it is said to be "in the past", there are rumors that he had been expelled from his sect and had no further connection with the Golden Elixir lineage, which is why he chose to join the school to participate in the Immortal Examination.

In short, as soon as he arrived at Shanhai Middle School, he used forceful means to win the title of the school's number one genius, and even boasted that he would win first place in this five-school joint examination.

Why would such a prodigy be associated with evil cultivators?

Then we must mention Liu Yuetong's practical exam, the number one genius of the Nine Cauldrons.

......

Three minutes ago.

"Hehe! As expected of Liu Yuetong of the Nine Cauldrons, I have long admired your name." Chu Qi said politely.

Liu Yuetong's pupils gleamed white, making her expression unreadable.

But through her moon-like eyes, she had already glimpsed some secrets.

"Eleventh level of Qi Refining..."

Yes, she glimpsed that this person's true cultivation level was the eleventh level of Qi Refining, but the other party deliberately hid it and showed himself to be at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

The key is that this person's methods of concealing his cultivation level are quite superb; even those Foundation Establishment stage teachers failed to detect it.

The reason she was able to see was because of her heterochromatic eyes.

His concealment of his cultivation level had already aroused her suspicion.

What truly prompted her to secretly send a message to her team leader was the upcoming battle.

As she used her pupil technique to continuously see through her opponent's weaknesses, her opponent realized that he could not defeat Liu Yuetong with his Qi Refining Level 10 cultivation, so he stopped hiding his cultivation level.

However, Liu Yuetong was, after all, the number one genius of the Nine Cauldrons. She had not only condensed true spiritual energy, but also mastered a minor supernatural power.

Facing Chu Qi, who was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, she chose to directly use her minor supernatural power.

"Pale Sky!"

A pale tinge spread from Liu Yuetong's toes.

In the next instant, the colors in Chu Qi's vision seemed to be stripped away, leaving only endless paleness.

Due to Liu Yuetong's minor supernatural power, the power of all the spells Chu Qi used was reduced by 50%, and his power would periodically become disordered.

"Your minor supernatural powers are truly unreasonable, but what if I respond with the same minor supernatural powers?"

Chu Qi smiled and made a hand seal.

"Mountain and Sea Mirage!"

Suddenly, countless strange buildings sprang up from the flat arena, including modern skyscrapers and ancient pavilions and towers.

These buildings turn pale and their power is weakened when they enter the Pale Sky Domain. However, since minor supernatural powers are superior to ordinary spells, the weakening effect is not as terrifying as 50%.

Moreover, even with its minor supernatural power weakened, it still poses a significant threat to Liu Yuetong...

"Boom!"

In an instant, the world spun, and buildings collapsed...

Liu Yuetong could only keep using her movement techniques to dodge.

But those buildings defied all logic; they could curve, appear out of nowhere, or crash down from above. Some harbored hidden dangers, while others seemed like phantom bubbles, omnipresent...

Liu Yuetong thought for a moment, then closed her eyes.

The moment she closed her eyes, the mirages that had followed her vanished.

"Oh? You actually found out?" Chu Qi was somewhat surprised.

He revealed a strange smile, "If you dare not open your eyes and rely solely on your divine sense and senses, then don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

"puff!"

The next instant, Liu Yuetong's lower abdomen was pierced.

She opened her eyes uncontrollably and looked at her abdomen.

There was a large, thumb-sized hole in the ground, and the surrounding clothes were gradually being stained crimson...
