Chapter 730 - 728: Wooden Puppet Alley! Twin Sword Wooden Human!

Chapter 730: Chapter 728: Wooden Puppet Alley! Twin Sword Wooden Human!

They almost certainly concluded that Lin Bai was just here to make a splash, it was absolutely impossible for him to power through the thirteen stages.

The elder also kept shaking his head, looking at Lin Bai, extremely disappointed, and returned to Wooden Puppet Alley.

Lin Bai felt the doubtful gazes from all over the arena, he smiled slightly, completely unfazed, "I haven’t even started yet, how do you know I can’t pass?"

Yao Feng sneered, "Is there a need to even try? Kid, let me tell you, no one has been able to pass the thirteenth stage of the Wooden Puppet Alley for over ten years."

"Even I only have one-third of a chance of making it through!"

Lin Bai shook his head and laughed, "That can only say you’re too weak."

Upon hearing this, Yao Feng was immediately enraged, gritting his teeth and said, "Well, well, well, you certainly have sharp teeth and a quick wit, lad. I won’t waste my words with you."

"Remember our wager, go on!"

"I want to see how this waste can pass the thirteenth stage!"

Yao Feng coldly chuckled.

Lin Bai smiled slightly, "Prepare the golden sore healing medicine, once you have to cut off your arm, you can stop the bleeding in time. This way, you won’t bleed to death."

"Hmph!"

Yao Feng snorted coldly, giving no indication of agreement or disagreement.

Lin Bai immediately turned around and walked towards Wooden Puppet Alley.

At the entrance of the Wooden Puppet Alley, the elder who had just returned to the alley, seeing Lin Bai coming over, shook his head and said, "As a warrior, one should strive to cultivate, break through self-imposed barriers, and should not be so eager for competition and superiority."

This elder had no ill will towards Lin Bai, he was just a bit sorrowful for Lin Bai, who had casually accepted Yao Feng’s bet. He had almost concluded that Lin Bai’s arm would belong to Yao Feng.

Lin Bai lightly laughed and said, "Elder, if the martial arts requires bowing and scraping, kowtowing to move forward, then what’s the use of cultivating such martial arts?"

"Ah! Young people, you are indeed too young!" The elder responded holding his temper.

The elder then said, "At the entrance to the Wooden Puppet Alley, insert your Identity Token into the slot at the entrance. When you enter the alley, the challenge will begin!"

"Remember, you’re given a ten-breath rest period after passing each stage. If you believe your strength isn’t enough, you can opt to exit the alley and end the challenge within this time."

"But if you want to see how far you can go, you can. If you are overwhelmed partway, you can loudly yell ’give up,’ and I will pull you out of the alley."

"Each puppet in the Wooden Puppet Alley has the strength of the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm, so be careful."

"Iron Armored Dolls appear at the fifth stage, and Copper Armored Dolls appear at the tenth stage."

"The Iron Armored Dolls have twice the strength of normal Wooden Humans, and the Copper Armored Dolls have three times the strength of normal Wooden Humans. If they prove to be too formidable, feel free to quit."

The elder explained in detail the rules and essentials of the Wooden Puppet Alley to Lin Bai.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was particularly interested in the Iron Armored and Copper Armored Dolls. He immediately asked with a smile, "Since there are Iron Armored Dolls and Copper Armored Dolls, are there other special Puppets at the fifteenth stage?"

Upon hearing this question, the elder shook his head helplessly and said, "Young man, you’re reaching too high. Given your aptitude and cultivation, it will already be your limit if you can make it through the tenth stage."

Lin Bai deduced that the elder seemed to be giving him a hint.

Lin Bai chuckled, "No matter, it was just a casual enquiry. But what if I do make it across?"

Lin Bai mused to himself: My dad made it to the eighteenth stage, as his son, I should be better, right!

Lin Bai had made a secret vow, even if he couldn’t surpass his father, he couldn’t let himself fall too far behind!

He must reach at least the fifteenth stage, otherwise he would bring disgrace to Lin Duo.

When Lin Bai arrived at the entrance to Wooden Puppet Alley, he really saw a slot in which he inserted the Identity Token that he’d gotten from Ascension Tower.

Immediately, the challenger’s information lit up on the stone wall.

"Lin Bai?"

"Who is Lin Bai? I don’t seem to have heard of him."

"Look at the lad, so tender and weak. I bet he can’t even pass the first stage."

"Exactly, those wooden humans could easily split this little guy in half with just one stroke."

"And he even claims to challenge the thirteenth stage, it’s simply laughable!"

Many warriors, seeing Lin Bai standing at the entrance of the Wooden Puppet Alley, started to ridicule him with laughter.

As they said, Lin Bai looked tender with a not tall and strong physique. He appeared like a gust of wind could knock him down, clearly not a formidable figure.

Unlike Qi Yao, who was robust, muscular with bulging eyes that were filled with dominance. One look and you could tell an expert had arrived.

Qi Yao looking at Bai Xiaoxiao said, "See, it’s not just me who looks down on him, the entire assembly of warriors think the same."

Bai Xiaoxiao gave a helpless smile and shook her head slightly upon looking at Qi Yao.

Qi Yao was a crude man, and till now only he among all the warriors didn’t keep staring at Bai Xiaoxiao after seeing her.

Bai Xiaoxiao was already convinced at this point, and was sure that Qi Yao was most likely a martial lunatic.

Qi Yao firmly stated, "He definitely can’t surpass me, I swear!"

Lin Bai heard the exclamations of the surrounding warriors, smiled faintly and stepped into the Wooden Puppet Alley.

After Lin Bai entered the Wooden Puppet Alley, he discovered that it was an alley of approximately fifty meters wide and a kilometer long. The stone walls on either side were about a kilometer high, smooth and hard to climb over.

The elder, upon seeing Lin Bai had entered, said, "Are you ready? Once I press the mechanical button, the challenge will start ten breaths later."

Lin Bai turned back to smile and said, "Please feel free to press the button, Elder."

The elder still reminded Lin Bai once more, "Young man, remember not to aim too high and overstrain yourself."

"Thank you for your reminder, Elder. I will keep it in mind."

Lin Bai turned back and gave a fist and palm salute to the elder, expressing his gratitude."

Ever since Lin Bai stepped into the martial arts world, he had rarely found such kind people as this elder, who reminded him over and over again.

Because of this, Lin Bai held special respect for the elder. When the elder reminded him for the second time, he turned back, gave a fist and palm salute and expressed his gratitude for the elder’s repeated reminders.

Seeing that Lin Bai was still prepared, the elder immediately walked to the place where the mechanical button was, and gently pressed it, causing the button to sink into the stone wall.

Immediately, Lin Bai felt the square stone slab under his feet begin to shake.

A low rumble ——

A slight sound came. Far away on the ground, the square stone slab was pushed aside, and a wooden human made of yellow wood rose up from the ground."

This square was specially constructed by the Miracle Ridge. Below the ground was a large mechanical Magic Circle, which provided a constant supply of wooden humans for the nine Wooden Puppet Alleys in the square.

"The first stage, ten wooden humans."

Lin Bai looked up and saw ten wooden figures emerging from the ground.

These ten wooden humans crossed their arms over their chests, clenching a third-grade Spirit Swords in each hand.

"Two swords?"

Lin Bai frowned slightly, looking at these ten wooden humans.

Immediately, after the ten wooden humans completely surfaced from the ground, they twisted their bodies all around and rushed towards Lin Bai like raging thunder. The dual swords danced in their hands, and they furiously swung their swords down at Lin Bai.

Sharp sword aura slashed towards the top of Lin Bai’s head.

The move was ruthless, with the intent to kill Lin Bai outright.
