The Emperor is Above

Chapter 272 Complete Crush

Qing Yi completely transformed the beast-fang puppet soldiers.

The original shape was extremely crude, with only a simple human outline and no details at all.

After careful carving, this one-foot-two-inch-tall animal-tusk puppet soldier was designed with reference to the shape of the giant Wangmang fish king of the Wangmang clan, and has undergone artistic processing.

His body is strong and powerful, his fists are clenched, his facial features are solemn, and even the braided hair is clearly visible. He is simply a fine work of art.

The attentive rune masters and students were amazed to notice that Qing Yi had combined the intricate and complex rune formations with the armor on the beast-tusk puppet soldiers through meticulous artistic processing, turning them into textures on the armor, making the shape look even more mighty and imposing.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, just for this exquisite design, I'm willing to spend ten kilograms of gold to buy it."

"Ten kilograms of gold? How can such a small amount of money be worthy of such exquisite craftsmanship? In my opinion, it is worth at least twenty kilograms of gold."

"This beast tusk puppet soldier looks incredible, but I don't know how effective it will be in actual combat. It would be a shame if it were to be shattered."

Even though the students of other majors did not understand the art of runes, they could not help but marvel at the sight of such exquisite beast-tusk puppet soldiers. The young rune masters' eyes widened.

The honest young man Zhu Zhiwu was extremely excited at this moment. He was both surprised and worried, and he kept whispering, "Guqiu Yi, don't break such a good beast tooth puppet soldier!"

Zhonghang said, who had been impatient for a long time. He first looked at the beast tusk puppet soldier in front of him in surprise, and then laughed even more proudly: "Guqiu Yi, the beast tusk puppet soldiers compete for combat strength, not for who makes the most beautiful one."

Several of his companions behind him laughed unscrupulously, "Brother Zhonghang, this guy is so arrogant just after arriving. I'm afraid he wants to use you as a stepping stone. Let him know that there are always people who are better than you and smash his beast-fang puppet soldiers."

Some of the young talisman masters could not help but worry: "The puppet soldiers were made simple and sturdy to prevent them from being damaged during the competition. Guqiu Yi made them look good, but I'm afraid they are not practical!"

Qing Yi ignored the discussions of the people around him and made a reassuring gesture to the honest boy. He then placed the animal tusk puppet soldier in his hand on the open ground and smiled confidently: "We haven't really fought it yet, how do you know that its combat power is weak?"

"Hehe, you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

Zhonghang said with a sneer as he placed his own beast tusk puppet soldier into the empty space in the field. While activating it with his hand gesture, he turned his head and smiled softly at his companions.
"Yesterday I heard that there were some pretty girls from Qizi Country who had just arrived at Yaoyue Tower. I won so many crystal stones today. I'll treat you to a drink there tonight. She's pretty, but I can beat her in ten rounds—"

“Bang—bang—bang—”

Before Bank of China finished speaking, a series of violent collisions were heard in the venue.

When he looked back, he found that the sound was not from any collision, but clearly his own beast-fang puppet soldiers being beaten.

The beast-tusk puppet soldier of the honest young man Zhu Zhiwu was originally only one foot and two inches tall. After being transformed by Qing Yi, the overall shape became much slimmer. Compared with the beast-tusk puppet soldier of Zhong Xingshuo who was one foot and five inches tall, it looked even more delicate.

However, this seemingly small beast-tusk puppet soldier can actually jump and dodge flexibly. Although his movements are still far less agile than a real person, he is far better than other beast-tusk puppet soldiers.

This modified puppet soldier not only had greatly improved flexibility, but also had stronger attack power. Its fists struck the opponent with great force. Even the animal tooth puppet soldiers carved from saber teeth and ivory were beaten to the point of bone powder splattering from time to time.

"I—I—I—"

Zhonghang said that before he could react, he watched in amazement as his proud saber-toothed ivory puppet soldier was beaten to pieces with cracks all over his body after just a dozen breaths, and was completely killed in the blink of an eye.

The hundreds of students watching the battle were all dumbfounded. No one had expected the battle to end so quickly, and no one had expected the beast-fang puppet soldiers to be so powerful that they could completely crush their opponents.

"Oh my god, if this thing hits a person with a punch, wouldn't it instantly create a big hole?" A student from the Imperial College in the crowd exclaimed. Normal puppet soldiers were clumsy and posed no threat to people, but if the one made by Qing Yi was a little bigger, it could definitely fight like a real person.

The young man Yang Hu thought of this at this moment. His eyes lit up and his hands trembled. He said in surprise and joy, "This is what a talisman master should really do. The beast tusk puppet soldiers are definitely not simple toys."

Regardless of the ridicule from the people around him before or the amazement at this moment, Qing Yi always looked calm and composed, neither arrogant when he won nor discouraged when he lost.

As Zhong Xingshuo stared in disbelief, he took out six apricot-sized crystals as a bet, and looked around at Zhong Xingshuo's companions with a hint of sarcasm: "Does anyone dare to fight again? I'll take these six crystals as a bet, too!"

"Humph, Guqiu Yi, don't be so arrogant!"

After being hit back with his original words, Zhonghang finally came to his senses. He looked at the completely broken animal tooth puppet soldier with heartache, then turned around and shouted to his companions,

"Chun Yu Ke, Gu Liangchang, your beast tusk puppets are also carved from saber-tooth ivory. I will bet six more crystals to teach Gu Qiu Yi a lesson."

Seeing the two noble young men looking a little hesitant, Qing Yi smiled and said, "If you're worried about not being able to win, why don't you two attack together to avoid wasting everyone's time."

"Guqiu Yi, you are so arrogant!"

Chun Yuke was immediately furious, and without hesitation, he deployed his beast tusk puppet soldiers to the battlefield, and then he said schemingly, "Since you are willing to fight one against two, don't cry when you lose."

Gu Liangchang was a little unhappy at first, as he really didn't want his puppet soldiers to be damaged. Now that Chunyu Ke had pulled them onto the boat, he had no choice but to follow them on board, praying in his heart that the possibility of winning with two against one would be greater after all.

However, he soon became disappointed.

Just now, when Qing Yi and Zhong Xing were competing, he was not very familiar with the training of the beast-tusk puppet soldiers. After his proficiency was greatly improved this time, the one-foot-two-inch little man became even more terrifying under his control.

It’s not that the agility and speed of the beast fang puppet soldiers have become faster and stronger, but that Qing Yi anticipated the opponent’s movements in advance, and almost every movement of the puppet soldiers was not wasted.

Dodge, jump, attack, every move is so simple, effective, and powerful. Even when attacked from both sides by two beast-fang puppet soldiers, he still completely crushes his opponents.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

Gu Liangchang was anxious to withdraw from the battle, but before he could finish his words, he and Chunyu Ke's two animal-tusk puppet soldiers also turned into a pile of broken animal bones.

Seeing his two companions looking distressed and unable to accept it, Zhonghang said, and cast his unwilling eyes on the last companion: "Qi Huangyang, where are your animal tooth puppet soldiers? The one carved with the unicorn horn of the fourth-grade lacquer-carved beast will definitely win."

Qi Huangyang smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhonghang. I forgot to bring my puppet soldier when I set out today. I haven't been able to tell you yet. Why don't I go home and get it now?"

Zhonghang said he had no doubts about his companions. He nodded and urged them, "Brother Huangyang, your home is only about 200 feet away from the Imperial College. Take the puppet soldiers and go back quickly. I don't believe that we can't beat this country boy today. We can't lose the face of the fourth prince of the capital."

"Okay, okay, wait for me to come back!"

Qi Huangyang smiled awkwardly and ran out of the Imperial College, but was unexpectedly bumped into by someone who came out from the corner. As he fell, a pitch-black puppet soldier flew out of his arms.

Zhu Zhiwu, who looked honest, couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't that the lacquer-carved beast puppet soldier that Qi Huangyang has been showing off for more than a month?"

Tomorrow I will hold a wedding reception in Kunming. Both sets of parents and family members will not be around, so I have too many things to do. I will also have to carry out new design tasks in the next month. I will continue to add one chapter today. From tomorrow onwards I can only guarantee two chapters. Please forgive me.
