#936 - Weapon Master's Fighting Style

“Black Gold Whale Demon’s Gaze.”

In this dark red world where everything was still, only Quan Li's body continued to move forward with inertia.

In the relatively cramped room, he performed an exceptionally smooth aerial flip, lightly tapping the wall with remarkable agility to execute a sudden stop, dissipate the force, and turn around.

His effortless movements revealed that he was in complete control of the entire process.

The fact that the puppet dodged was all part of his plan, deliberately luring it into thinking there was an opportunity to exploit, thus lowering its guard against the attack.

Quan Li calmly gazed at the puppet, his right hand covered by the black gold gauntlet, which had become even more formidable after the evolution.

The entire gauntlet now emanated a dark red light, maintaining the static space.

Quan Li did not act rashly because of this.

Time flowed by, drop by drop, as he carefully observed.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds...

The puppet remained frozen.

Quan Li showed no signs of impatience at the passing time.

Because this skill, which originally could only maintain a strong hold for three seconds, had its duration increased to a full fifteen seconds after this evolution.

In their world, exaggerating slightly, fifteen seconds was like fifteen centuries.

What Quan Li could accomplish in one second, many people might never achieve in their entire lives.

Knowing the changes after the skill's enhancement, Quan Li was not in a hurry to deal with the puppet.

Because he wasn't sure if this skill would have any effect on this mechanical body.

In battle, Quan Li was meticulous and his combat intuition was extremely sharp.

This lingering doubt prevented Quan Li from acting impulsively.

The surrounding light was filled with the power of Ultimate Light, greatly enhancing its penetrating ability.

At the same time, the fusion of Ultimate Light's holiness and Ultimate Darkness's brutality created a powerful mental impact, further enhancing the skill's control time and intensity.

However, even with the skill becoming so powerful, Quan Li did not take it as a basis for believing in his own strength.

He would never over-rely on powerful soul skills; in his mind, he could only trust his own analysis and judgment.

Soul skills were just another type of weapon, and as such, they should be wielded by people, not the other way around.

Seeing the puppet as still as a withered tree, Quan Li raised his free left fist, gathering an immense amount of frigid energy into his hand, quickly condensing a massive dark red ice whale head on the outside.

A violent aura erupted from it, making the already frozen world even more silent.

“Crack, crack…”

The grinding sound of the whale head's sharp teeth echoed within the confined space, creating a chilling sensation.

Quan Li's eyes narrowed as he stepped forward, executing a perfect punch.

Of course, the launched whale head couldn't exert its proper devouring and feedback effects, but as a surprise attack to add unpredictability, it had sufficient practical significance.

However, now, this whale head, which should have been in a sluggish state, actually darted forward with the freedom and agility of a fish in the sea.

Quan Li's clenched left fist seemed to be connected to it, remotely controlling it.

The reality was as he imagined: the whale head, upon reaching the puppet, suddenly feinted, dropping its body to the limit and biting directly at the legs supporting the puppet's body.

This seemingly redundant action hooked a large fish pretending to be dead.

The puppet, which had been illuminated by the skill's light and was in a dazed state, raised its arm and slashed fiercely at the whale attacking its body.

The direct collision of hard ice and metal unleashed a terrifying shockwave.

However, Quan Li seemed to have anticipated this, and the whale head he was remotely controlling quickly switched its front and back, just as the puppet had done to him.

The sharp teeth met the tough metal arm.

“Crack!”

The sharp teeth, neatly arranged in rows, quickly latched onto the arm upon impact.

The whale head, containing terrifying force, actually bit straight through the puppet's arm.

“Just as I thought.”

Quan Li uttered this calmly, but his left hand mercilessly increased its control, allowing the whale head to bite off the entire arm.

The puppet felt the vibrations from its arm and decisively raised its other hand, chopping at the bitten arm.

A black light swept past, the hand blade accurately avoiding the whale head, cutting away the outer layer of 'flesh' to break free from the whale head's restraint.

Its operation was very precise. If it had attacked the whale head directly with its arm, it might have transformed into another head, another set of teeth, imprisoning the other hand as well. At that point, being sealed off with both hands would have put it in danger.

Seeing the puppet display excellent intelligence, the battle intent within Quan Li surged even higher.

In addition, his gaze locked onto the severed arm.

Beneath the black metal shell, there wasn't another layer of metal, but a white solid substance similar to the walls.

This wasn't its body, but a layer of gangue condensed from its own soul power and filled inside its body.

Seeing this, Quan Li instantly understood how the puppet had avoided his skill's strong control.

It turned out that it had used its ability to freely manipulate its body to separate its outer layer from its body, and then filled the space between the body and the outer layer with pure energy.

Demonic Gaze, although it could ignore physical defense, could not ignore energy defense.

The puppet, with this hidden operation, had intended to try to counter-kill Quan Li during the static time when he relaxed his vigilance.

But it didn't expect Quan Li to be so wary, directly forcing it to expose this counterattack method.

Watching the puppet retreat to the other side of the wall, Quan Li retrieved the whale head that was constantly chewing on metal and soul power, and re-equipped it on his left hand.

He steadily stared at the puppet and slowly said, “As a puppet created by Quan Yi, it is very likely that it is equipped with skill information related to me.

If that's the case, if I were it, I would also use the opponent's uncertainty to induce them to use skills they think are powerful, and then take the opportunity to counter-kill.”

Quan Li was putting himself in the puppet's shoes to explain its plans.

However, even if the opponent calculated meticulously, Quan Li's thinking was still one level higher.

He knew that the puppet wasn't a marionette, but a special being with its own thinking ability.

In that case, he would also pretend not to know that the puppet had a high level of thinking ability, making relatively rash moves to lower its guard.

In a short period of time, a complex psychological warfare unfolded.

But the final outcome was that Quan Li was the better strategist.

At this time, the chewing whale head finally stopped chewing. The hard metal and soul power were transformed into pure energy during the speech, feeding back into Quan Li's body to alleviate the consumption brought about by the powerful skill.
