After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 157 Puppet Barrier
As soon as Lin Zhao finished speaking, the land of Tianhuangyuan beside her began to tremble. Soon, a narrow passage appeared in front of each continent.

Each passage is separated by high stone walls, dividing the various continents.

Lin Zhao noticed that this time, the four parties did not unite as one, but instead entered the passages of different continents as disciples representing different continents.

She thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Bai, Captain Ning, Qu Shu, I'd like to trouble the three of you to hold off that Peacock Continent's nine-point talent during the lulls in the battle. I'll deal with Mo Zun, Jiang Yan, and Lan Yingying. After that, leave that person to me."

Ning Wengui asked, "Isn't it a bit risky for you to fight all three of them by yourself?"

As Lin Zhao walked into the passage, he said, "Actually, I was more worried about the three of you facing off against that female disciple. But I made this arrangement in order to get more points."

If she could, she would prefer to approach the other person herself from the beginning.

Su Bai nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to us. We'll definitely be able to stall until you finish the battle."

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. If she was still a little worried about Ning Wengui and Qu Shu, she was really not worried about Su Bai.

Although Lin Zhao's spiritual foundation is now superior to Su Bai's, Su Bai still gives him a sense of danger.

This means that if it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, Su Bai might not necessarily lose to himself.

With him around, Lin Zhao could feel half at ease.

"Of course, if you can't hold out, just keep the points you have, and leave the rest to me." Just in case, Lin Zhao still had to give instructions.

Ning asked, "You think highly of that female disciple?"

Lin Zhao helplessly spread her hands: "Sometimes, I wish my intuition was wrong."

The group slowly walked into the depths of the passage, and when they touched a certain line, everything changed before their eyes.

Once the surrounding scenery became clear, Lin Zhao found himself alone in front of a passageway.

It seems that the original version of the game was a single-player battle against puppets.

Looking ahead at the seemingly endless passage, Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then summoned the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and stepped inside.

Almost as soon as he stepped into the passage, Lin Zhao turned around and slashed backward.

A skeleton wielding a large sword was cleaved in two by her sword, scattering into a pile of white bones.

The skeleton's original posture was to cut off her head.

"You've just come in and you're already putting on this show?" Lin Zhao wiped away non-existent sweat and laughed.

Just as she finished speaking, a voice came from above the passage: "The Great Melee has officially begun. First place: Golden Seed from Peacock Continent, 10 points."

Lin Zhao was taken aback. He had only just begun, and Jin Miao had already scored 10 points.
Before she could even examine her token closely, phoenix wings unfurled behind her, pulling her to the side and dodging the attack from the skeletons below.

After Lin Zhao discovered that both of the creatures preferred close-range attacks, he simply put away the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and smashed the skeletons apart with a single punch.

The voice, indistinguishable between male and female, rang out again from above the passage: "First place, Lin Zhao from the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, 15 points."

Lin Zhao's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

Before she could recover from the shock of the chaotic battle automatically reporting the first place winner, the voice continued to report: "Ao Xiaoman of the Azure Phoenix Continent failed and was forced to withdraw, scoring 6 points."

Not long after it started, people began to leave?

After knocking down the skeleton in front of him with another punch, Lin Zhao simply condensed a spiritual energy shield around himself, dispersing it one by one, and smashing a bunch of them. For the first dozen meters or so of this passage, Lin Zhao moved smoothly and was invincible.

Until this moment.

Lin Zhao rubbed his eyes as he looked at the large number of white bones that had crawled out from the ground.

"Although I'm not afraid of these things, they look really ugly when they crawl out of the ground." Lin Zhao complained as he took out a yellow talisman, took out a talisman brush, and with a few strokes, he used his spiritual energy to activate the talisman paper and cast it out. Using the readily available talisman, he quickly formed a level three array and sealed the skeletons with the talisman array.

Grandma Honghu was somewhat surprised: "When did you, little girl, get these talismans?"

Lin Zhao scratched his head: "I was worried before, so I drew a few more. Anyway, at that time, talismans were the only weapon I could afford. I bought a hundred and they gave me ten more for free."

Grandma Honghu: "..."

From a certain perspective, this disciple possesses an inherent frugal style.

This was quite novel for Granny Honghu, after all, in her previous life, she had never had to worry about any expenses.

In fact, Lin Zhao himself is the young master of a prominent family, so theoretically he wouldn't be stingy with money.

Lin Zhao's ability to develop this style largely stems from her time as the senior disciple at Cloud Peak, where she endured all sorts of hardships.

Watching the skeletons quickly perish within the rune array, Lin Zhao ignored Tianhuang Yuan's report and instead summoned the Tianhuang Bone Sword again, heading forward.

This time, the puppets that appeared were not simple skeletons, but corpses controlled by a relatively weak demon race.

Even knowing that what was before him was an illusion, a light still shone in Lin Zhao's eyes.

The result is that even though the puppets in this level were stronger than the ones in the last level, Lin Zhao cleared the level much faster.

Granny Honghu floated to the side, watching the intact corpses that had rushed over and then vanished in pieces, and then looking at Lin Zhao, whose entire body was ablaze, and sighed.

"If it weren't for the fact that you could see other levels that were similar, Master would have suspected that Tianhuangyuan had given you special treatment."

Lin Zhao wiped the sweat from her forehead, drank some water, and did not answer Grandma Honghu's question.

She had seen far too many humans displaced because of the demons.

Whether in the mortal realm or the spirit realm, the humans living there are nothing more than edible food in the eyes of the demons.

"If I have even a fraction of strength, I will not let any demon I can kill slip away from me."

Lin Zhao swung his bone sword, unleashing scorching spiritual energy. The corpses turned into dust that fell to the ground, allowing Tianhuangyuan to skip the absorption process altogether.

Lin Zhao stepped out of the combat area and said nothing more.

Her fighting spirit was completely aroused by the appearance of the demons, and the subsequent puppet challenges were not difficult to overcome.

Until this puppet appeared.

Lin Zhao had walked out of the passageway and arrived at a wide open space. She looked up at the huge creature that was completely different from the previous puppet.

This was a gigantic bat, probably dozens of times the size of Lin Zhao, its entire body gleaming with a metallic sheen. It was in the air, its blood-red eyes, devoid of any shimmering light, carrying a strange and dangerous aura. The cold, mechanical light reflected from its eyes fell upon Lin Zhao.

Seemingly having identified its target, the colossal creature that blocked Lin Zhao's view, almost blotting out the sky, let out an excited cry as if it were alive. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a strange, creaking sound before swooping down, its target aimed directly at Lin Zhao.
