That was the Dharmic Artifact puppet that Wang Baole had refined!

On the surface, the puppet was a hunk, burly and extremely suave. It was especially hairy, which made it look rough and vicious. If not for the noise that it made, it actually resembled a metal tower standing there. Even its gaze was bright, making it very different from the other puppets that Wang Baole had made.

Speaking of this Dharmic Artifact puppet, it belonged to the earliest batch of puppets that Wang Baole had refined during his vacation at the Lower Academy Island a while back. It had accompanied him through the life-and-death battles in the Pond Cloud Rainforest and was the one who instilled indescribable fear into the men in black.

It was the one that had led Wang Baole to have a new understanding of Dharmic Artifact puppets!

During the incident back then, there had been three puppets that made the men in black fearful. In the Dao Enlightenment incident, the puppets had been further improved by Wang Baole when he installed voice functions in them. However, even though Wang Baole had continued to refine more puppets after that, most of them had been severely damaged. That was especially so when he was in the Spirit Breath Village, where the array formation of the debris mountain killed a large number of them.

Therefore, this puppet was the only one remaining from the original batch. It had been damaged previously by Lin Tianhao’s flying knife, but Wang Baole had completely repaired it. Now, Wang Baole stood there, all eyes on the puppet, with a look of satisfaction.

“Zhu Gangqiang, I’m using you for an experiment. Are you willing to do it?” Wang Baole pretended to speak softly.

The moment he spoke, the hunky puppet suddenly raised its head. It looked confused, but the bright glow from the Rainbow Spirit Stone replaced its gaze. If one did not look closely, one would think that the puppet had resurrected, even more suave and ferocious than ever. It then suddenly spoke.

“Emm!”

That sound instantly caused Wang Baole to tremble from head to toe.

“Alright, alright…” Wang Baole could not stand the sound at all. He touched his nose and cleared his throat before bringing the puppet into the smelting furnace room. He planned to make a few more of the puppet as well as to enhance and tweak Zhu Gangqiang a little.

Soon, when Wang Baole walked out, three hunks were following behind him. They all looked exactly like Zhu Gangqiang, strong and burly. They were topless, revealing their exaggerated muscles, and coupled with how hairy they were, they sure instilled fear in anyone timid just by standing there.

Satisfied with Zhu Gangqiang One, Two, and Three that he specially created, Wang Baole looked in the direction of where his neighbor, Lin Tianhao, was at from the corner of his eyes and delightfully flailed his arm.

“From now on, all of you are the protective guards of me, Wang Baole! Guard the door, and no one shall enter without my permission. At the same time, remember the task you have at hand—record the data regarding the emotional changes in our test subject.”

“Emm!” the three hunky puppets roared simultaneously.

As the roar caused Wang Baole to tremble, the three puppets immediately turned and dashed toward the entrance of the cave abode. They stood outside the door of Wang Baole’s cave abode, putting up an imposing front, and did not move at all.

Wang Baole was satisfied. He sat down with his legs crossed and did not care about anything that happened outside as he continued to research on the chapter regarding refinement materials in the Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation. Just like that, two days passed quickly. Lin Tianhao did not leave his cave abode in those two days. He felt comfortable, and in the pockets of time between refining Dharmic Artifacts, he looked coldly in the direction of Wang Baole’s cave abode, his lips curling with disgust.

“Other than using a megaphone to create noise, this Wang Baole has no other tactics, unlike me. I have so many of them, so let’s see who moves away first, Wang Baole!”

As he exclaimed, Lin Tianhao stood up, wanting to go outside to buy some materials for refining Dharmic Artifacts. He was in good spirits and stepped outside after opening the door of his cave abode.

However, the moment he stepped out, a familiar disturbing sound hit his ears even before he could realize it. Shocked, Lin Tianhao turned to look in the direction of the sound and immediately saw the three burly hunks standing outside Wang Baole’s cave abode. They were even in awkward positions as they looked at him lustfully.

It was difficult to imagine three burly hunks making themselves so coy and seductive, and the entire scene was definitely refreshing and unconventional. It was even more difficult to imagine three hunks acting so bashful while making soft, disturbing sounds, and the combination of everything made one’s hair stand on end.

They were even waving at Lin Tianhao, signaling for him to come.

If that was just it, it would not have mattered as much. However, Wang Baole’s trump card was not to be belittled. Instantly, Lin Tianhao, who was standing there extremely confused, heard the high-pitched voice from the three burly hunks.

“Come on, uh… em… Little lover, come on!”

“Emm, come and catch me, come and spank me!”

“Baby… Emm…”

That scene immediately caused Lin Tianhao’s mind to buzz with activity. He almost tripped on his feet, goosebumps covering every inch of his body, especially when he noticed that the three puppets all looked identical to Zhu Gangqiang. He instantly thought of the slander that Wang Baole had made against him previously, and his rage rose there and then as he subconsciously wanted to attack them.

However, he controlled himself after realizing that it was all Wang Baole’s ploy. The moment he attacked, he would have fallen into a trap. Therefore, he forcefully restrained himself, pretending to look calm and to not have heard anything as he walked away.

The three puppets instantly returned to their normal state the moment Lin Tianhao left. They continued standing there like guards, and Wang Baole’s eyes lit up as he stood in the cave abode.

It seems like this kind of psychological warfare has the most effect. This result will be extremely useful for my research in the future.

Wang Baole felt that he had found a direction to further research psychological Dharmic Artifacts. In reality, he was not at all concerned about Lin Tianhao’s attacks. If he ever did attack, he would have violated the order by the Pavilion Head. After all, the puppets were also his Dharmic Artifacts. Attacking them was equivalent to attacking him, and until then, Wang Baole had no plans of driving this valuable test subject away—he needed to make the most out of it.

Little Bastard Hao, work hard! I have high expectations of you.

After he had finished recording everything, he felt that the experiment data would be immensely useful to him when he refined Dharmic Artifacts in the future. He was in good spirits as he continued to read up on refinement materials. In reality, the effort that he had put in all that while, coupled with the understanding he had previously, had already allowed Wang Baole to grasp the majority of the concepts.

Next, he planned to begin trying to refine perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifacts after fully understanding the refinement materials. This was so that he could familiarize himself with the last chapter on refinement materials. He had not realized himself, but since arriving on Upper Academy Island, he had wasted no time in improving his skills and knowledge at breakneck speed. On the other hand, Lin Tianhao had not been able to concentrate on his cultivation as his mind was about to go crazy. This way, it would not be long before the Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao’s standards grew further apart.

In the two weeks that followed, Lin Tianhao did not realize it, but there were many times when he was so angry that he flipped. However, unless he decided to never head out, every single time that he left and returned to the cave abode, Wang Baole’s three puppets would cause green veins to bulge on his forehead. He could never get used to them.

On the other hand, it was impossible for him not to head out. Even if he tried his best to reduce the number of times that he had to go outside, there were still people who paid him a visit occasionally.

Very quickly, news began to spread. Lin Tianhao was helpless, and the thought of moving away arose in his mind. However, he was indignant and did not have the desire to learn and practice anymore. Therefore, he began thinking about how to retaliate.

Before he thought of a method of revenge, a youth dressed in a white robe appeared outside his cave abode. He was dressed differently from a Dharma disciple and carried an unusual air. One could see that he was someone of high status, someone who wielded considerable power.

He was extremely handsome and charismatic, making the white robe that he was wearing look even lighter.

He stood outside Lin Tianhao’s cave abode with his arms akimbo. With a puzzled look, he gazed at the three burly puppets standing outside Wang Baole’s cave abode.

The three hunks stood like guards, their eyes motionless and their manner imposing.

As he stared, the youth appeared a little touched. After throwing a quick glance at Wang Baole’s cave abode door and then at Lin Tianhao’s cave abode, he thought for a moment before flicking his sleeves, causing Lin Tianhao’s cave abode door to vibrate instantly.

“Is Junior Brother Lin around?” the youth asked with a smile.

Inside the cave abode, Lin Tianhao was feeling awful. He had not planned to care about it after hearing the voice initially, but as he raised his head to look outside the cave abode, his pupils immediately constricted.

“Chen Yutong? Why is he here?”

Lin Tianhao recognized the white-shirted youth standing outside the cave abode. He knew that he was considered the true natural talent within the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. He had broken through to become a True Breath expert at the eight-inch Spirit Root stage, and after gaining admission to Upper Academy Island, he had been selected by one of the five elders of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion as a personal disciple. He was a famous character on Upper Academy Island.

He was also extremely handsome and outstanding. Furthermore, he was also particularly proficient in the restoration of Dharmic Armaments. Even the Grand Supreme Elder had once nodded and praised the Numinous Treasure that he had refined!

Not only was he an Armament Soldier, he was the cream of the crop among them. There had also been news spreading that he would soon become a Deputy Pavilion Head of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion!

A highly regarded character like him was someone whom even Lin Tianhao, with his influential family background, wanted to acquaint himself with and was fearful of offending. However, ever since arriving at Upper Academy, he had not had to opportunity to interact with him much and was not chummy with him.

Seeing that he had arrived, Lin Tianhao immediately stood up to open his cave abode door. He stepped out and revealed a cheerful smile as he greeted him with cupped fists.

“Senior Brother Chen…”

At the exact moment that he appeared after opening the door to his cave abode, even before he could complete his sentence, the three puppets immediately turned their heads, their gazes instantly turning lustful and their bodies contorting awkwardly. They began making disturbing sounds and speaking in alluring voices.

“Little lover, you’re finally outside! Come on, emm!”

Blue veins immediately appeared on Lin Tianhao’s forehead. If it were someone else and not Lin Tianhao, they would have let it pass. However, now that he had been insulted in this manner when he had wanted to befriend Chen Yutong, who had personally made the visit, Lin Tianhao immediately went crazy, He roared angrily and wanted to attack before…

The white-shirted youth Chen Yutong suddenly turned his head to stare at the three puppets. They immediately returned to normal, but a look of undetectable surprise appeared in their eyes.
