Chapter 1226 - 1225: If You Can't Do It, Get Out
Chapter 1226 - 1225: If You Can't Do It, Get Out
Its master always told it, if you want to continue existing, you must do everything possible to kill the opponent!"Wu Suowei was watching from the side and heard Tang Rao muttering, so he helped the puppet answer.
"Master, I'm still a child. Treating me like this, does your conscience feel good?"
Tang Rao dodged a blow from the puppet. While there was still some distance between the puppet and Tang Rao, he complained.
"Your strength is far from enough; it's difficult to defeat Bald's subordinates."
Right after Tang Rao finished complaining, Wu Suowei put the puppet away and said to Tang Rao.
Without the threat of the puppet with mid-stage divine strength, Tang Rao breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet he also felt disheartened because of Wu Suowei's disdain.
"Master, I'm just in the middle stage of divine power, my strength isn't even stable. I can't take on a late-stage Great Perfection divine puppet!"
Tang Rao clutched his chest and made a small star gesture to Wu Suowei.
"If a disciple of Wu Suowei can't fight opponents of a higher level, then he's a failure. What use do I have for such disciples?"
When Wu Suowei found Tang Rao, it wasn't just a random pick. He could see the differences that set Tang Rao apart from others, which is why he wanted to train him intensively.
But was he mistaken back then, or was it destiny wanting him to lose by choosing an useless disciple!
"Master, you're wrong to say that. You saw me clash with that puppet a couple of times and decided I'm trash. Why don't you let the puppet out again and let me have a proper fight with it!"
Tang Rao disliked being told he's not capable, especially in front of Wu Suowei, who had chosen him. He didn't want Wu Suowei to be disappointed in him.
It wasn't because Tang Rao really wanted to be Wu Suowei's disciple, but he wanted to reclaim his dignity and face.
"That's what you said!"
Wu Suowei knew that even if Tang Rao fought the puppet again, the puppet would still win.
The puppets he raised were at least a few levels stronger, even with the same rank.
If Tang Rao wanted to experience the puppet's might, to prove himself, Wu Suowei would give him another chance to let Tang Rao give up.
When the puppet emerged with an ominous aura, it seemed it was still angry with Tang Rao. Having not taken revenge, then being put away by Wu Suowei, now given the chance again, it would definitely attack Tang Rao fiercely.
The puppet swung a palm at Tang Rao; even its single slap was larger than Tang Rao's body. Its massive physique was intimidating, but Tang Rao wasn't easy to deal with either.
He drew out the mountain-splitting axe Wu Suowei had given him, taking the opportunity to test its weight.
"Roar!"
The puppet roared, and its palm pressed towards Tang Rao with an overwhelming momentum, making hearts thump in fear.
Tang Rao quickly adjusted his mindset. When the palm was almost upon him, he made his move.
With unparalleled speed, he leaped out of the puppet's encirclement.
Perhaps because the puppet wasn't a living being, its reaction speed couldn't compare to a real person's. Tang Rao's mountain-splitting axe came down, severing the puppet's large hand, which fell to the ground with a bang.
The resulting impact created a large pit in the ground.
The puppet couldn't feel pain, but losing a hand seemed to insult its dignity, turning it furiously enraged.
Standing aside, observing with amusement, Wu Suowei became more serious.
If earlier, his evaluation of Tang Rao was disastrous, now he could describe it as not bad.
At least in terms of judgment, he wasn't as regretful as before.
"One-armed hero, Yang Guo, you look much better now than before."
Tang Rao's ridicule of the puppet made one want to punch him, did he never realize that?
"Die!"
This was anger from Hell. It was the first time Tang Rao saw a speaking puppet. He thought they couldn't talk.
After hearing the puppet, Tang Rao felt goosebumps all over.
"I just said a few words, and you can't take it. Why is your tolerance so low? If I hit you, would you want to eat me?"
Pop!
Just as he mentioned hitting, Tang Rao, as if performing magic, took out a long stick from nowhere, stabbing it into the puppet's buttocks.
Such humiliation, if the puppet could endure this, he'd admit defeat!
To be a person with such guts.
"Die!"
The puppet exhaled heavily, its color changing, the whole body turning blue, which didn't match its angry look.
Everything earlier was a facade. Tang Rao knew why she provoked the puppet, keeping it to herself.
Only by thoroughly angering the puppet could it become disoriented, and compared to a tireless, pain-enduring puppet, ending the fight swiftly was the best choice.
This was a real battle!
Wu Suowei closely monitored every move in this hand-to-hand combat between him and the puppet.
In such moments, it's the details that decide victory or defeat.
"Come on, finish this quickly, show me all your skills, let me see how strong you can get."
Tang Rao made a mocking gesture at the puppet.
The puppet didn't understand but knew the gesture couldn't mean something good.
As Tang Rao said, he took the initiative to attack the puppet, observing its weaknesses during the fight.
"Tang Rao, this is crucial whether you can become my disciple. If you lose, go down the mountain!"
Without pressure, Tang Rao wouldn't know what motivation is.
Tang Rao didn't expect that even after calling him master, he might still be expelled from the sect if he lost to the puppet.
That wasn't the outcome he wanted.
The large puppet wasn't as agile as Tang Rao. Several close combat attempts were made, all feints followed by real contacts, and the puppet couldn't dodge in time, getting hit hard by Tang Rao.
After figuring out the tactic, Tang Rao decided to continue fighting this way.
He provoked the puppet in every possible way, making it angry, then dodged as the puppet tried to strike him, launching a heavy assault.
"Die!"
This strike hurt the puppet, and it seemed angered, looking quite upset.
"Ow, if it hurts, then hit me back!"
After teasing the puppet for so long, it hadn't realized Tang Rao's scheme. With repeated attacks from Tang Rao, the puppet's steps wavered.
"Master, if I kill your puppet, you won't feel bad, right?"
Seeing the puppet in this state, whether Tang Rao would finish it off depended on time and mood.
Whether to kill the puppet, it was Tang Rao's decision. But the puppet belonged to Wu Suowei. If it got killed, Wu Suowei might regret losing his treasured creation and have a grudge; what would Tang Rao do then?
"Stop, let it go."
In the end, Wu Suowei couldn't bear to let the puppet die just like that.
