Chapter 1239 - 66: Written Test (Part 3)
The Sky Fox Avatar seems to enhance the effect of Corpse Puppetry, yet it actually disperses Hua Yanluo’s spiritual power.
As a result, the effectiveness of using Corpse Puppetry will necessarily be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Yun Sheng won’t use the Sky Fox Avatar for this round of competition.
In learning Corpse Puppetry, Hua Yanluo’s talent is stronger than the other Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses. At the end of thirty minutes, she controlled four Sky Fox Soldiers, making her the best performer so far among everyone.
"Hua Yanluo from Cangdu, advance." As soon as the Third Elder spoke, Hua Yanluo felt her entire body becoming soft, as if her bones were about to collapse.
"I’m exhausted; this deadly Corpse Puppetry, I won’t use it a second time," Hua Yanluo complained, but a joyful expression still spread across her face.
Regardless, she had passed the Written Test. Although she knew her strength made it impossible to become the Holy Daughter, passing the test would elevate her status at the Hua Family, so she no longer had to endure the attitudes of her family’s mother and elder sister.
Seeing Hua Yanluo control four soldiers, Qin Yue stepped forward.
After half an incense stick had passed, Qin Yue had controlled three soldiers, but her spiritual power was nearly depleted.
"Half an incense stick remains; I must outperform Hua Yanluo," Qin Yue, stubborn as ever, always felt she was undervalued among Cangdu’s people and wanted to seize the top spot.
She gritted her teeth, muttering words as she focused on one of the soldiers.
This woman, even now, wants to show off.
Yun Sheng had already noticed Qin Yue was on the brink of spiritual exhaustion, a very dangerous state.
If careless, she’s very likely to suffer backlash from Corpse Puppetry.
As expected, Qin Yue let out a short cry, her eyes filled with pain.
The Third Elder stepped forward to check.
"Qin Yue from Cangdu, overexertion of spiritual power, she has controlled three soldiers, advance. Ladies and gentlemen candidates, let me remind you, Corpse Puppetry is not a common Witch Skill; its side effects are severe. If forced overuse occurs, it may harm oneself, remember this." After his reminder, the competition continued.
After learning from Qin Yue’s lesson, the next Candidate Saintesses were more cautious.
Feng Lian controlled two and advanced smoothly.
When it was Hu Linglong’s turn, she confidently walked forward, casting a provocative glance at Yu Shang, Yun Sheng, and Lu Yunshuang.
Clearly, she viewed these three as her strongest opponents.
Hu Linglong regarded herself as the most skilled in Corpse Puppetry among everyone.
As soon as she took the stage, she immediately began chanting, her captivating fox eyes emitting a seductive glow.
The Sky Fox Soldiers under the spell felt a tingling sensation under their feet, turning dazed.
Hu Linglong’s Corpse Puppetry proceeded smoothly; within one-third of an incense stick’s time, she controlled ten Sky Fox Soldiers.
The valiant soldiers, once controlled, behaved like loyal dogs, surrounding Hu Linglong.
The crowd also couldn’t help but express admiration.
"This Corpse Puppetry has some impressive aspects; if encountered in the Eight Desolate Clan Competition, it could be threatening," commented Lu, watching it with increased caution.
Uncertain if this Corpse Puppetry works on masters.
"Guess how many people Hu Linglong can ultimately control?" Yun Sheng didn’t share other Candidate Saintesses’ envy, finding Hu Linglong’s technique crude.
"She must have learned Corpse Puppetry before, but due to her aptitude, should only master about thirty percent.
At this level, especially the last third of the incense stick, spiritual exhaustion slows control speed.
"Probably about twenty-five people, slightly stronger than me," Lu Yunshuang still remained icy.
Yun Sheng nodded, sharing similarities in concerns as Lu Yunshuang.
However... Yun Sheng suddenly noticed Yu Shang gazing at Hu Linglong.
Her peculiar eyes, resembling Persian cats’ blue-green hue, flashed with calculation.
Is that woman plotting something?
Yun Sheng slightly startled internally.
Everyone’s attention was on Hu Linglong; nobody noticed Yu Shang’s unusual actions, only Yun Sheng felt something amiss.
From Yu Shang’s hand, something floated out, mingling with the sunlight, blowing towards Hu Linglong.
Just as Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang anticipated, Hu Linglong during the last third of the incense stick exhausted her spiritual power, slowing her Corpse Puppetry.
She didn’t realize Yu Shang had tampered with her.
So hot... Hu Linglong felt something on her burning.
White dazzling light shone ahead, like glaring sunlight.
Hu Linglong’s consciousness began blurring; she muttered incoherently.
"So hot, so hot, I want to undress," Hu Linglong suddenly freed herself from her clothes, leaving only a red undershirt amid the audience.
Wow—
The audience gasped, witnessing the bizarre scene.
Hu Linglong undressed while pouncing on the Sky Fox Soldier, moaning like a clingy mudfish.
"Miss Linglong, what’s wrong with you?" The Third Elder, shocked, couldn’t understand why this was happening.
Still, Hu Linglong didn’t hear his scoldings, pouncing like a hungry wolf towards the soldiers.
Several Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses in Hu Capital went to restrain her but were all pushed away.
Seeing this, Yun Sheng stepped forth, fingertips flickering with needles, piercing Hu Linglong’s philtrum and Qihai acupoints.
Hu Linglong stopped moving, her body limp, fainting.
"What happened?" The Third Elder, dumbfounded, looked at Yun Sheng and Hu Linglong.
This was truly troublesome; Hu Linglong, Fox Qiansui’s daughter, suffered such a disgrace in the Heavenly Fox Examination. If spread, her reputation might be ruined.
"It was likely an overexertion of spiritual power, causing backlash," Yun Sheng explained while glancing at Yu Shang.
This woman manipulated behind the scenes.
Yu Shang cast a cold, chilling smile at Yun Sheng.
Only the two knew what truly occurred.
