From the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry to Hunting Sins and Becoming Saints

Chapter 126 has a number

Although the flesh and blood puppet in front of him was extremely dynamic, Fu Que could see many inconsistencies in it. If it were in his previous life, even if it could not move, such a lifelike puppet would definitely be very valuable.

But that's not enough for the present moment. What Fu Que wants isn't something pleasing to the eye, but a puppet that can charge into battle and clear minefields for him. This puppet is far superior to the Berserker Hunter he fights to the death with.

Even Han Qian, one of his former underlings, might not be able to beat him.

"This is the lowest level of flesh and blood puppet. It can only understand simple commands. All its fighting methods are driven by the remaining fighting will in front of it. Apart from its own body, the strength of its physical body depends entirely on the attached noose and heart."

He Ming's voice rang out from the side, full of admiration: "With this puppet as a foundation for your first creation, coupled with your great power, you are qualified to become a prospective puppeteer even within Baiyujing."

"Baiyujing?"

Fu Que narrowed his eyes. Reflected in the shadow of the Great Zhao Kingdom was Baiyujing, the stronghold of the remnants of the previous dynasty, a fragment of the Heavenly Court that gathered almost 90% of its remaining power.

"You've been inside?"

He asked.

"Oh, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I know your main responsibility is to capture these people, but unfortunately, with my qualifications, I'm unlikely to attract their attention. Those people are fanatics who only care about the strong and the future strong."

He Ming waved his hand repeatedly.

"I just happened to find a teaching guide about their training of flesh puppeteers. You know, the so-called flesh puppetry is essentially an evolution of the imperial edict."

Both of these individuals originated from the Heavenly Court of the previous dynasty. As the Great Zhao intensified its crackdown, they, who already had few personnel, naturally focused on developing flesh-and-blood puppets to help them gather intelligence on the Great Zhao.

On a side note, the Flesh Puppet Technique I'm about to teach you is actually from the same lineage as Bai Yujing's, only my version is quite outdated. If you're not afraid of being questioned by the Dragon Knights later, you can try to get a current version.

Fu Que looked at the wolf demon puppet standing straight in front of him, which kept sending him signals to harass him, and felt speechless. So many resources and so much time were wasted, and this was the result.

"I suspect you're wasting my time and resources."

Fu Que pointed at the wolf demon in front of him and then said.

"Nothing is accomplished overnight. Did you suddenly acquire and master your power? This is just a teaching tool. In the future, you will use it as a framework to slowly fill in your understanding and eventually get the help you want."

Practicing the Flesh and Blood Puppet Technique is essentially no different from raising a demon pet; the only difference is the way resources are invested. If you don't believe me, and there's no change after ten days, you can continue to torment me by hanging me on the shelf.

"Alright, I was already exhausted from being imprisoned in the imperial prison, and now you've tortured me even more. If I don't rest and recover my strength, I might not live much longer. Here are some things I've written down and some notes; take them and read them first."

He Ming handed Fu Que two thin sheets of paper.

"Just these two?"

"This is the catalog. Of course, if you have enough resources and money, you can buy a copy of the Inherited Jade Pendant, which can greatly shorten this step. But to be honest, the flesh and blood puppet technique is not popular in Yuntai Prefecture."

Generally, there are no jade pendants with this kind of inheritance in reserve. If you want one, you'll probably have to get it from the armory of the Imperial Guards in another region, but that will cost extra.

After saying that, He Ming looked at Fu Que and said, "Sir, please have mercy and find me a place to eat and sleep? I can work!"

"...."

About ten minutes later, Fu Que settled He Ming in and then brought the wolf demon puppet to the training ground. Along the way, the tall and stiff wolf demon attracted a lot of attention, but the Tiger Riders were not the type to meddle in other people's business.

Fu Que had only been in the tiger's den for a short time, and had only curiously observed the wolf demon before paying no further attention. In the path of martial arts, apart from cultivating true qi, which leads to the same goal, there are countless ways to master other auxiliary paths of power.

While there aren't many Tiger Cavalrymen like Fu Que who flaunt their presence in public, it's not unprecedented.

"Kill me!"

As soon as they entered the training ground and the area was cordoned off, Fu Que gave an order to the puppet wolf demon not far in front of him.

In an instant, the wolf demon raised its green eyes, locked onto Fu Que, and charged forward, raising its sharp claws to strike fiercely.

Fu Que's expression remained unchanged, and he had no intention of retaliating. He simply shifted his feet and used his movement skills to dodge the attack.

With its claws missing their mark, the wolf demon fell headfirst forward, leaving a large opening for Fu Que. Looking at the exposed back of the wolf demon, Fu Que instinctively wanted to raise his hand, but quickly restrained himself, standing still and waiting for the wolf demon's attack.

The wolf demon stiffly turned its head and opened its mouth to bite Fu Que's neck. Fu Que continued to dodge backward. After about seven or eight minutes of fighting, he had a good grasp of the strength of this newly created flesh and blood puppet.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be trash; in two words, it would be garbage.

His attack speed was slow, his combat instincts were weak, and his movements were not nearly as agile as the Bloodthirsty Hunter that Fu Que had fought before, not even one percent as agile.

"I guess that's all the strength we have. There are too many things to improve. There's no need to try anymore. Anyway, it's impossible to correct everything in a short time."

Next, I should look at the list He Ming gave me, and then use this wolf demon as a template and test subject to recreate a suitable flesh and blood puppet, or multiple flesh and blood puppets.

Fu Que signaled the wolf demon flesh puppet to stop. Soon, the waving claws stopped in front of Fu Que, then the puppet stiffly turned around, strode to a corner of the training ground, and squatted down like a real statue.

This wolf demon isn't entirely without merits; at least it can obey orders.

Fu Que felt somewhat comforted. After spending so many points, it wasn't all for nothing. Composing himself, Fu Que took out the Moon Wheel Blade, switched to the scroll view of the Swordsman with the sword held across his body, and began his wind element power practice for the day.

The power enhanced by the painter using the Sinful Cloud Ink will be clearly reflected in Fu Que's state of empowerment, but without practice, this surge of power often cannot be fully utilized.

In a life-or-death struggle, not being able to exert one's full strength is a huge waste, and is no different from courting death.

Therefore, even though experience and elemental power seem to be innate, Fu Que still spends time on tedious practice.
