Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Before Lü Ci could finish speaking, Lü Ren covered his mouth from behind.

"That's right. It's better to stay a little longer since the mountains are high and the roads are long. I wonder when this preliminary assessment meeting will be held?"

Lu Ren narrowed his eyes and gave Cui Ming another serious look.

He understood Cui Ming's implication, but he didn't know his intention.

"After all, the Lü family is still quite far from my Divine Machine Alliance. If Brother Lü were to return now, I'm afraid my Divine Machine Alliance would send another invitation to participate as soon as he gets home."

"Staying here to learn more about my Divine Machine Alliance will make future cooperation easier, won't it?"

It's so easy to talk to smart people; I'm sure it won't be long before Lü Ren understands his intentions.

Lü Ren patted Lü Ci on the shoulder.

"Little brother, when you participate in the operation later, be careful not to hold others back and bring shame to the Lü family."

"elder brother!"

Lu Ci's lips twitched. How much did this person look down on him?

She's not a child anymore, yet she nags like a gossipy old woman.

Lu Ci turned his head away awkwardly.

Seeing that his younger brother didn't understand, Lü Ren's forehead veins bulged, and he grabbed Lü Ci's face and repeatedly gave him instructions.

"Pay close attention, you hear me!"

Seeing the worry hidden in his older brother's eyes, Lü Ci finally understood that his brother's words had a hidden meaning, and nodded in agreement.

Lu Ren released Lu Ci's face and nodded to Cui Ming.

"Then I will trouble you for a few more days and take a tour."

After saying that, he led the others down.

After watching Lü Ren leave, Cui Ming glanced at Lü Ci, who was deep in thought, and Wang Ai, who looked nervous, and then gave instructions to Yong En and Gao Gen.

"Take them down there and treat them like new recruits. Let them see blood too."

Yongen and Gaogen both nodded silently, then led the two down to collect their equipment and prepare to depart.

After the others left, Cui Ming went to the window again. As he watched many people begin to leave Shenji Town, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

He never said that the Japanese had no other tricks up their sleeve besides Tomie...

Chapter 131 The Possibility of Replacing Tomie

After Yong'en and Gao Gen left with an awkward-looking Lü Ci and a somewhat nervous Wang Ai, Cui Ming quickly finished his work.

He turned and walked towards his own workshop inside the Divine Craftsmanship Building.

The workshop is spacious and brightly lit, with several energy lamps emitting a cold light that illuminates the entire workshop as if it were daytime.

The walls were covered with puppet parts, and several giant mechanical arms stood on the floor of the workshop.

Fenrir was huddled in the shadows of the workshop, while in the very center stood eight specially made sealed coffins lined up side by side.

It was Tomie's sealed original body, and her seven different physical clones.

The eight coffins were filled with the power of Dan Shi, a pale blue power that even eroded the material of the coffins, turning it blue.

Cui Ming walked to the center of the workshop, manipulated the hidden wires and mechanical arms, and placed the main body of Tomie on one side.

He carefully examined the seven physical clones, each representing a different age group and gender.

Cui Ming's current goal is quite clear.

He wanted to analyze Tomie's innate ability to create and perfectly control clones, and try to extract or copy it.

However, if this ability cannot be extracted directly, then the only option is to completely transform Tomie into a puppet to retain her own abilities as much as possible.

There was no way around it; Tomie's innate ability was a perfect match for Cui Ming's.

Cui Ming knew that once he could master or effectively utilize the power of Qi, the resulting improvement would be unprecedented.

After all, Cui Ming is now many times stronger than Fu Jiang in terms of mental differentiation.

If she can easily control seven clones without being detected by her acquaintances, then if it were Cui Ming, it would be a flawless puppet team.

Cui Ming can also precisely control a large number of mechanical puppets at the same time, making them more agile and giving them greater autonomy and adaptability.

Going a step further, what if his main consciousness could also control his clones like Tomie did?

If one directly inhabits the puppet, the combat power that can be unleashed will far exceed any previous method of puppet control.

This means that each puppet possessed by Cui Ming can become an avatar with independent combat capabilities, thus Cui Ming's own combat power reaches a whole new level.

However, just to be on the safe side, Cui Ming decided to start his research with the seven clones.

Cui Ming directly controlled the mechanical arm, and then carefully hoisted the clone named Liu Ruolin up using hidden wires.

Tiny probes emerged from countless mechanical arms, piercing into the clone's body to examine its internal meridians, physical structure, and so on.

Meanwhile, another set of mechanical arms began collecting material samples from the clone, comparing them with the previous normal materials to see if any differences could be found.

Ultimately, all the data was compiled into Cui Ming's own brain.

He was completely focused, trying to find out Tomie's innate special ability from this information.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Led by Yong En and Gao Gen, Lü Ci and Wang Ai also completed the basic identity registration in the Divine Machine Alliance.

He skipped several levels in one fell swoop and became a disciple of the elders, a Xuanji Armor that could directly obtain the rank agreed upon by Tang Miaoxing.

However, due to a lack of detailed physical data and combat habits of the two individuals, they could not immediately equip them with custom-made Xuanji armor, so they could only use the general-purpose experimental model first.

As the mechanical armor, gleaming with a dull metallic sheen, was attached piece by piece to the two men's bodies by multiple mechanical arms and locked in place automatically.

An unprecedented and novel experience instantly dispelled the slight tension that the two had felt due to Lü Ren's instructions.

The armor liner is made of some Martian material, which not only perfectly conforms to the body's curves but also doesn't appear bulky.

Wang Ai's feelings were particularly pronounced at this level.

As the eldest son of the Wang family, who was hailed as the family's precious darling, he was usually waited on hand and foot, and the whole family indulged him.

That's why he looks rather plump at such a young age.

In addition, he specializes in his family's unique skill—Divine Paint.

Most of his skills lie in the precise control and creation of Qi; his physical abilities are not outstanding among his peers.

But now, Wang Ai could clearly feel a gentle and continuous power emanating from inside the Xuanji Armor, nourishing and strengthening his limbs and bones.

Providing him with support and easing his burden, actions that used to require more effort are now much easier.

This mysterious armor not only took care of his physique, but also quickly adapted to his way of moving. Wang Ai even felt that the longer he wore it, the more relaxed his body became.

Furthermore, their physical fitness in all aspects has also been significantly improved.

Lu Ci's experience was even more profound.

Because the Lu family's inherited skill is the Ruyi Jin.

This skill set can be used for close-quarters combat with astonishing explosive power; it can also infuse energy into the ground beneath one's feet, allowing the energy to spread and injure people from a distance.

The most exquisite aspect of this skill lies in the fact that the force can be transmitted through objects, allowing attacks to be launched from any unexpected angle.

But when Lü Ci tried to circulate the Ruyi Jin within his body while wearing the Xuanji Armor.

To his surprise, he discovered that Qi seemed to circulate inside the Xuanji Armor as well.

Even without the Ruyi Jin (a type of internal energy), it can flow smoothly; this Xuanji Armor seems to produce a wonderful reaction with one's own Qi.

It not only did not hinder the flow of Qi, but actually accelerated the flow of Qi to a certain extent.

This means that Lü Ci's speed in using Ruyi Jin will become faster, the changes in Ruyi Jin will be more rapid, and the attacks will become more unpredictable!

'This thing...we absolutely have to get our hands on it!' ×2

Both Lü Ci and Wang Ai had a burning rage in their eyes.

Only at this moment did Lü Ci truly understand his elder brother Lü Ren's good intentions.

Putting everything else aside, the Xuanji Armor alone, which is controlled by the Divine Machine Alliance, is enough to make the Lü and Wang families cooperate with the Divine Machine Alliance.

These technologies are nothing short of revolutionary miracles for the entire world of supernatural beings in the Eastern Kingdom!

Wang Ai and Lü Ci exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

However, their sense of novelty did not last long.

"Adjustment period is over."

Yongen's cold voice interrupted their thoughts.

She and Gao Gen were already fully equipped.

The Mysterious Armor worn by Yong En is a lightweight armor that facilitates stealth and assault, with two swords straddling his thighs.

Gao Gen's armor is a heavy Xuanji armor that focuses on defense and strength. It has a sense of weight that makes people lose their desire to attack at a glance.

Without further ado, Yong'en walked over and pointed at Lü Ci.

"You follow me, he follows Gao Gen. Understand?"

Yongen maintained his cold tone and walked out of the armory before Lü Ci could react.

Gao Gen looked at Lü Ci and Wang Ai and shrugged.

"Yone is still a very reliable teammate, he's just a bit cold-hearted, you'll see later."

"Alright, hurry up and come out, the next task is about to begin."

After Gao Gen finished speaking, he walked out of the armory.

Lu Ci and Wang Ai exchanged a glance, a question forming in their minds.

'Shouldn't this be a routine patrol? Why all the tension?'

When Lü Ci and Wang Ai walked out of the armory, they saw a group of elite soldiers, also dressed in Xuanji armor, waiting outside.

The team of dozens of people was silent and efficient; without uttering a word, they quickly split into two groups.
