80: test

At level 45, without considering any race or skill, the standard attributes for soul and physique are 6250, so the puppet's physique and soul are both 6250.

Wisps of blood energy steamed from the puppet, and a wave of air spread out from the puppet's center.

The blood energy throughout its body formed a strange symbol, all converging into its palm, and the puppet assumed an odd posture.

Waves of dangerous aura emanated from the puppet opposite.

Shi Yan's eyes narrowed as he watched the puppet's stance.

He had encountered this move last time, so it seemed all puppets only knew this one move.

Two points of green light appeared in Shi Yan's eyes, and thick, dark brown vines burst from the ground around him.

Vines wrapped around his entire body, forming a large armor made of vines.

Shi Yan's legs bent slightly, cracks appeared on the ground, his leg muscles suddenly thickened, and he was about to charge forward.

"Hmm?"

A smell of burning wood wafted into his nose. Because Shi Yan possessed the skill Smell Enhancement, he almost instantly detected this slightly pungent scent.

Shi Yan frowned slightly, looking down, and saw that the dark brown vines wrapped around his body had become even blacker.

They seemed to be scorched.

"It seems the two are no longer compatible."

A dark shadow suddenly enveloped Shi Yan's vision, and a hurricane blew towards Shi Yan, causing his fiery red hair to sway wildly backward.

Shi Yan quickly used his will to point in front of him, and the puppet, which had already charged up and was about to strike Shi Yan's head, instantly vanished from its spot.

This was a basic function of the Training Camp, allowing one to choose whether to continue the duel at any time.

Having dealt with the puppet, Shi Yan continued to address his own situation.

Shi Yan reluctantly dispersed the vines wrapped around his body; they were now charred black, and even clear flickers of fire could be seen from their edges.

He had long anticipated this day, after all, one was a fire-oriented skill and the other a wood-oriented skill.

It would be fine if both were equally strong, but once one side became too dominant, this would happen, as fire overcomes wood.

The conflict between the two was entirely within his expectations; he just hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

Suddenly, Shi Yan had an idea.

Brand new dark brown vines grew out from under the ground again, wrapping around Shi Yan's entire body, forming a new vine armor.

Just as the vine armor was about to ignite again, Shi Yan's eyes narrowed.

Numerous cold, icy deep-blue water droplets appeared out of thin air, then tightly enveloped each dark brown vine, cooling them down and preventing them from burning again.

Shi Yan's eyes were fixed on the water droplets on the vines; the droplets transformed into a thin layer of deep-blue water shield, encasing each vine and perfectly preventing it from burning.

These deep-blue water shields were created by Shi Yan's skill, Ice Power +1.

At this moment, Shi Yan was fully encased in thick vines, his height reaching a full eight meters.

Shi Yan's will moved forward again, and a level 45 puppet reappeared.

Shi Yan quietly watched the puppet charge up and assume its stance.

Boom!

A ten-meter-wide crater suddenly appeared on the ground beneath Shi Yan, and his towering figure had already disappeared from the puppet's sight.

The puppet's blood energy in its hands grew denser, and its hands, in a strange posture, blocked to the right.

Thump!

A dull sound of wood colliding with wood suddenly rang out. A huge fist, one meter thick, slammed into two slender, normal-sized arms.

The ground beneath the puppet's feet sank into a three-meter-deep pit, and waves of air scattered the surrounding black earth everywhere.

Despite such an astonishing blow, the puppet did not even change its position.

A blood-red light flashed in Shi Yan's eyes, filled with excitement.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!

A chorus of impacts resounded through the sky, and Shi Yan and the puppet exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.

The surrounding ground was chaotic, as if it had been bombarded by missiles, with huge craters everywhere and the topsoil ripped open.

A fist wrapped in surging red blood energy slowly retracted. Shi Yan was sent sliding backward rapidly, two three-meter-deep grooves carved into the ground, and a scorched smell once again wafted into Shi Yan's nose.

Shi Yan's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he did not bother to look down at the scorched area.

He had not used any other skills during the previous battle; he only used Vine Entanglement, Melting Transformation, Blood Tattooed Transformation, and Ice Power - Water Armor.

After all, this time was just to roughly test his own strength; there was no need to use all his skills. If he had used other skills just now, that puppet would have been blown to bits long ago.

"Then..."

Shi Yan dispersed the vines wrapped around his body, stepped out of the vine armor, and a ferocious smile slowly curled at the corner of his mouth.

Shi Yan gathered strength in his legs and shot up into the sky, soaring into the depths of the dark red sky, disappearing from sight.

The puppet's head slowly lifted, its lifeless eyes staring into the depths of the dark red sky.

A faint green light slowly began to glow in the dark red sky, and then that green light grew brighter and brighter, gradually covering the surrounding dark red, dyeing half the sky a pale green.

A cyan fireball slowly grew from the size of a grain of rice, its speed increasing, and a series of sonic booms emanated from behind the cyan fireball, with visible conical airwaves closely following it.

Its speed was incredibly fast, reaching directly above the puppet's head in the blink of an eye. The puppet, lacking sentience, did not know how to flee.

Its hands formed a strange circle, and the surging red blood energy in its hands suddenly dispersed into an eggshell-like shield, enveloping its entire body.

Shi Yan, holding a giant cyan fireball with a diameter of one meter, used the speed bonus from descending from ten thousand meters high and the propulsion from his Floating skill to strike the puppet's head fiercely.

The cyan fireball exploded with a boom the moment it struck, and the cyan firelight instantly covered a hundred-meter radius of the black earth plain. An intense high temperature instantly incinerated everything within the hundred-meter range.

Although its size was identical to the previous Lava Fireball, its power was vastly different.

A hundred-meter-wide crater, filled with rolling cyan lava, abruptly appeared on the black earth plain.

A tall figure, completely encased in translucent deep-blue armor, stood in the center of the crater.
