Unlike possession, Wu Yu felt as if he had grown a new organ. When he focused all his energy on the puppet he controlled, his own body was almost in a numb standby state. This was probably related to his inability to multitask, which was a specific manifestation of low mental strength.
Wu Yu then examined the puppet again. It was amazing; it felt just like controlling his own body. He even felt his severed right arm grow back.
The first thing Wu Yu did was to grab the index finger of his left hand with his right hand and twist it backward forcefully.
"Sir, what are you doing?" the signboard girl asked in confusion.
"Pain test." As soon as Wu Yu spoke, he felt his connection with the puppet weaken slightly.
"You know, I'm very afraid of pain. If the pain is transmitted back to my body later, I can't stand it. I'll also take this opportunity to feel the puppet's physical strength and coordination. By the way, this thing must be very expensive. What if I break it during the test?"
"You don't need to worry about that. The puppet's material is a level higher than its strength, so it can't be damaged during the test. Besides, your test is a skill test. You just need to attack enough vital points to pass," the signboard girl explained.
"Then I'm relieved." Wu Yu nodded, and then manipulated the puppet to walk out of the queue.
But the puppet wobbled like a toddler learning to walk.
"Hahaha, with this level of skill, he still dares to make such arrogant remarks. Miss Ailian, even if you want to go easy on him, he probably won't pass the test."
The burly man's mocking voice came again, and the signboard girl looked at the unreliable Wu Yu with a worried expression, her face full of distrust. Only Jack remained as calm as ever.
Wu Yu didn't have the energy to argue with them right now. Controlling his epileptic body, Wu Yu finally arrived at the weapon rack, picked up a sword at random, and walked to the arena in the center of the hall.
Seeing that Wu Yu was ready, the signboard girl went to the control panel and entered some information. Finally, three puppets with the character "一" written on their heads rushed out of the queue. After taking their weapons, they formed a triangle in front of Wu Yu, surrounding him.
"Be careful, these puppets are imbued with Imperial military swordsmanship and are skilled in combined attacks," the signboard girl finally warned.
Wu Yu nodded, controlling the puppet, then drew his sword and stood still, patiently waiting for the enemy to make their move.
The three puppets' jewel-like eyes flashed red, and the three of them launched a simultaneous attack, blocking almost all of Wu Yu's escape routes from the upper, middle, and lower sections.
The so-called simultaneous attack, which seems simple, is actually impossible for humans to achieve, because time is a realm that tacit understanding cannot reach. However, if it is operated by machines, the impossible can be turned into possible, and then this attack, which is theoretically impossible to dodge, can be launched.
However, being unable to dodge does not mean being unable to defend against it.
[Parry]
The moment the skill was activated, Wu Yu achieved absolute control over his puppet, allowing him to perfectly make it arrive at the desired location at the desired time.
Wu Yu took only one step forward, and he had already escaped that point that was absolutely impossible to dodge.
He crouched slightly, intersecting with the puppet's body, and successfully dodged the sword aimed at his head.
He reached out with his left hand and intercepted the sword that was aimed at his waist in mid-air.
As Wu Yu had predicted, the power of a first-tier magical puppet was the limit of an ordinary human. When the blade could not cut through his palm, Wu Yu used the momentum to draw a semi-circle with his body and pressed the sword in his right hand to the ground, thus successfully blocking the third sword that was aimed at his lower body.
At this point, Wu Yu had completely neutralized the first wave of enemy puppets.
Wu Yu would not give them a second chance to attack.
【see through】
The so-called critical hit is actually an attack on vital parts. Although the puppet's body structure is different from that of a human, it still cannot escape the range of Wu Yu's skills.
All the parts of the puppet came to mind, and then Wu Yu picked out the three points that were closest to a straight line.
With a flash of sword light, Wu Yu's sword drew an arc from bottom to top.
Wu Yu turned around confidently, but without the boost from his skills, he could only stagger out of the center of the encirclement.
"boom."
The three puppets collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"How is that possible?" the signboard girl exclaimed.
As she had said before, due to the nature of their materials, the puppets were absolutely incapable of causing serious harm to each other, and all the simulation results would appear on the control panel in front of her.
For example, just now, Wu Yu's puppet was judged to have only a minor injury to its left hand. Although it was strange that being cut by a sword would only result in a minor injury, compared to the current notification that the puppet was damaged, it was simply not interesting to even be curious about.
The mascot was desperately hoping that something had gone wrong with the control panel. After all, even the cheapest Tier 1 magic puppet cost ten gold coins to make. She didn't even earn ten gold coins a year! If the guild found out that she had broken so many valuable items at once, she would have no way to explain it!
The signboard girl quickly ran towards the arena, and then breathed a sigh of relief. The most severely damaged puppet had its right leg cut open by Wu Yu. As for the other two, one had a white mark on its chest, and the other had a gap in its neck, where the exposed metal wires could even be seen.
The damage appears minor and is still within the repairable range.
Jack followed, and upon seeing the puppet's miserable state, he took out a money pouch from his storage ring and handed it over with eleven gold coins.
