Chapter 500: Training Mechanism

The mechanical puppets were lined up in two long rows, silent.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong stood at the front of two rows of mechanical puppets respectively.

The two of them used their spiritual sense to control these mechanical puppets.

The mechanical puppet moved forward with the team while pressing its own head, turning it a few times before being removed.

When they walked in front of Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong, they all became headless, with the machine heads held in their hands.

Sun Ning and the other person took out a number of distraction mirrors, used their spiritual awareness and magic power to slightly modify these mechanical puppets, and finally inserted the distraction mirrors into them.

The texture of the mirror of the Spirit-Dividing Mirror is close to that of crystal, as transparent as a pool, reflecting the vast blue light, as if starlight is flowing.

The mirror frame is made of jade and is as beautiful as the blue waves in the morning light. The four corners are slightly tilted, just like the clouds painted by the ancients, which are profound and lofty. When the mind penetrates the frame, the meridians inside can be seen, just like the roots of an ancient tree.

This is one of the precious mirrors recorded in the foundation-building chapter of the Mirror Table Spiritual Communication Technique, which can receive and differentiate spiritual consciousness.

Among all the mirrors, the cost of the Divination Mirror is the cheapest. This is also the careful design of the Three Sects Masters. This is because, among all the mirrors, the demand for the Divination Mirror is the greatest.

Like what Ning Zhuo is doing now, he is installing distraction mirrors on all the mechanical puppets.

These more than 400 spirit-dispersing mirrors were made by Sun Ning and his companions over the past few days, working day and night.

The entire resettlement process did not take much time.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong tried to control it, both showing joy on their faces. Ning Zhuo released his spiritual consciousness, and only needed to project it onto the nearest mechanical puppet to make it stronger in the spirit mirror.

Ning Zhuo could not only contact and control this mechanical puppet, but his extra spiritual consciousness was divided into six or seven parts and spread around.

These six or seven spiritual consciousnesses were attracted by the other spirit mirrors and became stronger after falling into the mirrors. The excess spiritual consciousness was then divided into several more and projected out.

After several rounds of projection, Ning Zhuo mastered a large number of mechanical puppets.

He used all his strength to mobilize his spiritual sense, spreading it everywhere, and soon covered the more than 400 mechanical puppets.

"Let me try. Let me try."

Sun Lingtong thought it was fun and couldn't wait to try it.

His spiritual consciousness could also be put into the spirit-dividing mirror, but although the total amount was obviously greater than Ning Zhuo's, the degree to which it was blessed by the mirror was less than half of Ning Zhuo's, and the spiritual consciousness that was divided was only three or four parts at most.

The distraction mirror also helped Sun Lingtong a lot in controlling the mechanical puppet, but not much.

After all, the mirror table, the spiritual communication technique, and the spirit-dividing mirror are a set.

This made Sun Lingtong sigh from the bottom of their hearts once again: the three sects have outstanding talents, and the three sects' methods they created are rare in the world. Not to mention that they can practice three dantians at the same time, just taking out one of them has rich content and complete supporting facilities.

Ning Zhuo was both excited and tired.

In order to make enough distraction mirrors, he worked non-stop for several days, almost without sleep.

Both Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong had dark circles under their eyes.

Ning Zhuo yawned and said, "Let's take a nap first, Boss. I'm so tired that I can hardly open my eyes."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "You go to sleep first, I'll stay up for a while."

When they were away from home, he and Ning Zhuo worked together to rest and practice at staggered times as much as possible, so that they could always remain on guard against the outside world.

Ning Zhuo nodded naturally.

Since childhood, Sun Lingtong would let Ning Zhuo go to bed first and he would keep watch. Ning Zhuo had become accustomed to this arrangement.

Young people have good sleep quality.

Ning Zhuo was so tired that he lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

After a deep sleep, he opened his eyes on the bed. His gaze gradually became bright and he became energetic, sweeping away all his previous fatigue.

He immediately let Sun Lingtong rest, and he himself put Wanli Youlong on his waist, lifted the curtain of the tent, walked out, and saw the afternoon sun.

He went to see the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang were training their troops. Seeing that they were training very hard, he used his spiritual sense to transmit their thoughts, greeted them, and then left the camp.

I'd rather be clumsy than not train my troops!

But after Ning Zhuo's investment, the three generals' camp was already fully staffed. The camp itself was not big, only enough for the three generals to work.

Ning Zhuo thought about it and came to Honghua Camp.

Now, he only needed to show his badge to enter and exit the Red Flower Camp. Sometimes, before he even reached the camp gate, the soldiers would find him and open the camp gate for him.

In the Red Flower Camp, Mulan was also training his troops.

In fact, after the ambush, these armies returned to Canglin Fairy City to rest and recuperate. They were actively recruiting soldiers and training with all their strength after replenishing their troops, racing against time.

At this time, the amount of sweat shed may very likely determine life or death on the battlefield.

Therefore, both generals and soldiers are willing to practice hard. As we all know, they will still go to the front line.

Compared with the Three Generals Camp, the Red Flower Camp is much more spacious.

On the one hand, the Red Flower Camp's specifications made the camp very large, much higher in grade than the new army like the Three Generals Camp. On the other hand, although the Red Flower Camp also recruited soldiers, they were carefully selected and did not rashly increase the number.

This is because the difficulty of the Red Flower Battle Formation is far greater than that of most other battle formations. In this case, simply increasing the number of people would be a hindrance, making it impossible to form a battle formation, greatly reducing the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Seeing Ning Zhuo coming, Mulan immediately withdrew and let her deputy general take over to continue training the troops, while she took the initiative to greet Ning Zhuo.

"Mr. Ning Zhuo." Mulan had no expression on his face, but his eyes flickered, revealing that he was not at peace inside.

Ning Zhuo waved his hand and stated his purpose, which was to use the open space in the camp to train troops.

Mulan agreed immediately.

She arranged everything and led Ning Zhuo all the way to the open space.

Since Ning Zhuo chose to train his troops in the Red Flower Camp, there was no need to hide it from Mulan. Therefore, he took out all the mechanical puppets openly.

Mulan's eyes lit up slightly.

She knew that Ning Zhuo had spent a huge amount of money to purchase a large number of mechanical dolls.

"But during the ambush, although Ning Zhuo was controlling the mechanical puppet, he was a separate individual."

"Individual exercise and group exercise are two different things. How good is his ability in this area?"

Mulan suddenly felt a strong interest in his heart.

After several interactions, Ning Zhuo became Mulan's husband by chance. Of course, she was interested in her husband.

More importantly, as the daughter of a general, she has been very sensitive and concerned about all things in the military since she was a child.

With Mulan watching, Ning Zhuo began his first drill.

His face was solemn and he exuded divine awareness.

Through the continuous projection and reception of the distraction mirror, Ning Zhuo soon had full control over all the mechanical puppets.

It was as if he had many prosthetic limbs and had formed a close connection with the mechanical puppets. He only needed to expend his spiritual consciousness to command their actions.

Ning Zhuo first tried the simplest action, which was to make these mechanical puppets walk together.

Seeing that more than 400 mechanical puppets suddenly moved, Mulan was surprised and couldn't help but glance at Ning Zhuo. He thought to himself: "He is only in the foundation-building stage, but he can communicate with so many mechanical puppets very quickly."

For Ning Zhuo, it was the first time to control so many mechanical puppets at the same time.

Although he had hoarded a lot of mechanical devices in Huoshi Xiancheng in the past, those were all acquired from the market over a period of more than ten years with his hard work.

His level was not high enough at that time. How could the mechanical creations he bought from the market compare to the more than 400 mechanical puppets in front of him?

In the past, most mechanical devices were in the shape of animals, with simple structures and easy operation.

But now these mechanical puppets are all for military use, with more complex structures, requiring more control capabilities and the ability to make more free and sensitive movements.

Ning Zhuo is fully focused.

He felt like a toddler, first crawling on the ground, then slowly standing up, and then starting to walk unsteadily.

Mulan, who was watching from the side, soon discovered this.

"It turns out that Ning Zhuo has never controlled so many mechanical puppets before."

Mulan frowned slightly and decided to find a suitable time to persuade Ning Zhuo to give up training.

Using this immature technique on the battlefield is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also to your allies and comrades.

Especially since Ning Zhuo is her husband and the son-in-law of General Mu, she cannot act recklessly.

Ning Zhuo took out the spiritual food from his storage belt, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it quickly a few times, and then swallowed it.

After a while, he took out the pill and swallowed it.

Whether it was spiritual food or elixirs, they were all helping him recover his consciousness faster.

His spiritual power was consumed so rapidly that his head felt dizzy, as if there was an anvil in it.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Mulan had been evaluating the situation and saw this scene: "Ning Zhuo is only at the foundation-building stage after all, and his spiritual awareness is limited. It's already very good that he can hold on until now."

"Although he got the hang of it quickly, he is still a long way from being ready for battle."

"We must persuade him to stop."

"Taking this into battle is simply a joke."

However, the next moment, Ning Zhuo opened his eyes.

He once again mobilized his spiritual consciousness to control these mechanical puppets. But unlike before, this time he did not only use his spiritual consciousness to control them, but also used the Buddha Heart Demon Seal! Ning Zhuo had already planted the heart seal on all the mechanical puppets.

The dual control of spiritual consciousness and heart seal! The mechanical puppet suddenly became smart, as if it had turned from a demented person into a normal person.

"How is this possible?!" Mulan's pupils shrank slightly and he was shocked.

She could never have expected that Ning Zhuo had made such terrifying progress after just closing his eyes to rest for a while, and when he opened his eyes again!

The advance and retreat of the entire army were no longer scattered as before, but they were quickly and orderly.

Mulan also noticed a detail - the distance between different puppets can even be adjusted!

This would never have happened before.

"Since Ning Zhuo can perform such micro-manipulation, it means he still has a lot of spare energy."

"How come he has improved so much all of a sudden? It's like he's become a completely different person."

A complete transformation!

Ning Zhuo was also quite happy.

After fully activating the Heart Seal, the consumption of his spiritual power suddenly plummeted, to less than one tenth of what it was before.

He was able to control it without any hindrance, with plenty of remaining power and it was very smooth.

After a moment, Ning Zhuo adapted to this state, stretched out his hands, spread his fingers, and activated the magic thread.

Ten hanging threads fell onto the nearby mechanical puppet.

In an instant, it was as if they were injected with souls, and the speed of each movement became several times faster, and the combat power displayed also increased a lot.

"Using this method, we can control some more powerful mechanical puppets."

"But I don't need it yet."

The general that Ning Zhuo assigned to this mechanical army was Shadow Blade·Night Tiger. The latter's spirituality was even higher than that of Heavy Armored Blood Ape·Da Sheng.

Meng Yehu doesn't need Ning Zhuo's control at all, instead he can perform well by moving freely.

"But spiritual matters should be kept secret as much as possible and should not be exposed."

"When you use Shadow Blade Night Tiger in the future, just pretend to connect a thread of mana to it."

While Ning Zhuo was thinking, Sun Lingtong woke up in the flying dragon.

He came to the dragon head cabin with sleepy eyes, and saw Ning Zhuo training his troops. The more he watched, the brighter his eyes became.

"Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu, hurry up, let me play for a while!"

Sun Lingtong showed a strong interest in training mechanical soldiers.

"Okay, boss, I'll give you some of the mechanical dolls. You have to take them immediately!" Ning Zhuo secretly advised.

Sun Ning and his partner have been together for more than ten years since they were young, so they naturally have a tacit understanding in their cooperation.

Many mechanical puppets changed their masters, from Ning Zhuo to Sun Lingtong. The handover process was very natural and smooth.

Mulan had been standing nearby, watching the entire process, but was completely unaware of the secret plot being done by Sun Ning and the other man.

Sun Lingtong's own skills and talents are quite outstanding, and he learned the secret manual of mechanical mechanisms left by Meng Yaoyin a long time ago, so he can control these mechanical puppets quite well.

It was just that I was a little unfamiliar with it before, which led to some bumps and bruises.

Seeing these bumps and bruises, Mulan looked at Ning Zhuo and said, "The training time is very long, Ning Zhuo is almost reaching his limit."

As a result, as Sun Lingtong became more proficient in control, the performance of the mechanical army became better and better.

"..."Mulan found that he had made another misjudgment.

Ning Zhuoze sent a telepathic thought: "Hahaha, Boss, with your help, the pressure I control has plummeted by at least 40%."

Sun Lingtong said: "Xiaozhuo, this is so fun."

Ning Zhuo: "Boss, let's stop playing. After you are familiar with it, we will start practicing the battle formation. Without the battle formation, the army is just a pile of loose sand. In the war, they will become cannon fodder and sacrifices."

After another half a cup of tea, Sun Ning and the other man had become much more proficient.

Form a formation.

Battle formation—light body and swift wind formation!

Sun Ning and the other two joined forces to form a battle formation! They were almost successful, but at the last moment, two or three mechanical puppets were not properly controlled and did not move to the corresponding battle formation positions in time.

Seeing that he was about to fail, Ning Zhuo immediately took remedial measures and shot out a magic thread.

He manipulated them specially, increased the infusion of mana, and finally caught up at the last moment, allowing the three mechanical puppets to make the correct movements and move to the correct positions.

boom.

After a slight sound, the Light Body Swift Wind Formation was successfully formed.

Countless breezes lingered between the entire mechanical army. The breeze lifted and entangled the mechanical puppets, making them faster and more agile, and almost silent.

Seeing this scene, Mulan finally couldn't hide it anymore and his expression changed.

Being able to form a formation successfully, this mechanical army has become a reliable new force that can be looked forward to.

"I underestimated Ning Zhuo."

"He is indeed a rare genius! His talent in controlling mechanical devices is the only one I have ever seen in my life."

Mulan stared at Ning Zhuo, and her expression became more complicated.

The more she helped Ning Zhuo, the more good qualities she discovered in him.

These advantages accumulated in her heart, making her impression of Ning Zhuo increase again and again.
