Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

"Puppet number eight... Puppet number eight?"

Amidst the overwhelming force of punches and the ear-piercing clang of metal, Wang You nimbly dodged the attack from the two iron puppets, his mind replaying the words Chen You had privately spoken to him before they entered the cave.

Could what that Chen You said be true?

Wang You was filled with doubt.

How exactly did Chen You figure it out?

However, considering Chen You's strength, and the fact that the two sides are currently on the same side, Wang You felt that there was absolutely no need for the other party to make such a pointless joke at this critical moment.

Better safe than sorry!

Thinking of this, Wang turned his head to the right, his ear twitched slightly, and shouted loudly to the burly man wielding a heavy hammer and gritting his teeth to hold on not far behind him: "Xiong Ba!"

The Mountain-Shaking Hammer Overlord was swinging his massive hammer, weighing hundreds of kilograms, smashing a charging iron golem, sending sparks flying, and causing his own blood to surge from the impact.

Hearing Wang You's shout, he roared unhappily, "You black-faced bastard! Why are you asking this? I'm busy right now!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Which puppet is number eight?" Wang You shouted urgently.

Xiong Ba swung his hammer to swat away the iron arm in front of him, glanced around, and roared irritably, "He's three zhang to your left! The one with the 'eight' character pattern etched on his chest!"

"knew!"

Having obtained the exact direction, Wang You's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the long sword in his hand emitted a clear, dragon-like roar!

The next moment, he moved!

He brought the art of blind-hitting to its fullest potential, transforming himself into a fleeting black afterimage, forcefully passing through the blind spots of the three puppets' attacks, heading straight for the number eight puppet to the left front!

The No. 8 puppet seemed to sense the danger, raising its heavy iron fist high and smashing it down on Wang You's head with a howling wind.

Faced with a punch powerful enough to shatter rocks, Wang You neither dodged nor evaded, but gripped the sword with both hands, his true energy surging wildly into the blade!

"Break it!"

Sizzle!!

A blazing blade of light ripped through the darkness like lightning, precisely tracing the dark "eight" pattern on the chest of Puppet Number Eight and piercing deep into its heart!

There was no hard resistance as expected. Accompanied by a piercing crack, the blade seemed to have struck some kind of mechanism, forcibly shattering the heavy chest armor of Puppet Number Eight!

"Click...click..."

The number eight puppet's enormous iron fist suddenly stopped in mid-air, its eyes flashing with a ferocious red light.

Inside the broken chest cavity of the No. 8 puppet, there were indeed no complex gears or parts. Instead, there was a small metal puppet, only the size of an infant!

The little puppet was covered with dense, blood-red runes, its face resembled a strange, crying baby, and its limbs were wrapped with countless tiny mechanical threads. It was twisting and struggling wildly inside its chest cavity, continuously supplying energy to its massive external shell.

"It actually exists!!"

Although Wang You couldn't see clearly, he could hear the strange sounds coming from the little puppet.

A tremendous wave of shock surged through him; he was astonished as ever by Chen You's methods.

Without the slightest hesitation, a ruthless glint flashed in Wang You's eyes, and with a sudden flick of his longsword, the sharp blade energy instantly shredded the eerie "infant puppet" to pieces!

pat.

As the small puppet shattered, the massive No. 8 puppet instantly lost all its luster, the red light in its eyes went out, and its heavy, massive iron body crashed to the ground, turning into a pile of lifeless objects.

Then, something shocking happened.

The fifty-odd iron puppets that had been rampaging across the field, causing the various forces to scream in terror, suddenly seemed to have all their energy drained away. Their red glow abruptly disappeared, and their cold gears snapped shut!

Throughout the entire area, dozens of enormous objects remained motionless, as if they had been transformed into lifeless iron sculptures.

The crisis was averted in an instant!

"Solved...solved?" Xiong Ba, the Mountain-Shaking Hammer, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

The more than one hundred surviving martial arts practitioners around them were all stunned, and then burst into cheers of relief at surviving a disaster.

"Wang You! You're really something! You're really awesome!"

Xiong Ba wiped the blood from his face and shouted gruffly, "No wonder you specifically asked for Number Eight! So that thing is the core weakness of all the puppets! Impressive!"

He San quickly walked over, put away his weapon, and solemnly cupped his hands to Wang You, saying, "The Listening Wind Blade truly lives up to its name; its insight is so sharp, I admire it!"

"Well…………"

Hearing the overwhelming praise around him, Wang You's lips twitched, his lips moved as if he wanted to blurt out: Actually, it was all Chen You who secretly told me this...

But he swallowed the words back down his throat.

Wang You's mind raced: Chen You is so strong, he clearly saw through the mechanism at a glance, but he only told me. What does that mean?

That shows they're low-key!

They didn't want to be in the limelight or get into trouble!

"Fine..." Wang You sighed inwardly. "Since Brother Chen wants to hide his talents, then this burden of showing off... no, this heavy responsibility, will be borne by me, Wang!"

Thinking of this, Wang You forcibly suppressed his guilty conscience, put his hands behind his back, and coldly uttered seven words: "It was just... a fluke."

Upon hearing this, He San gave him a deep look and thought to himself that this young man was very humble.

We need to find ways to recruit such talent in the future!

But for now, let's focus on the more important things!

Without asking further questions, he turned to look into the depths of the cave entrance and announced loudly, "Now that the puppet has been broken, everyone, let's go in first!"

With the Iron Man puppet no longer blocking their way, the dark passageway that had been standing in front of them was finally clear.

As the group walked along the stone path, their view suddenly opened up, eliciting gasps of surprise.

Inside this stone cave lies a breathtaking paradise!

Looking around, one is greeted by lush greenery and verdant trees, with the air filled with a rich spiritual atmosphere and the fragrance of flowers and plants, as if stepping into another small world.

Amidst the lush greenery and exotic flowers and plants, one can faintly see some collapsed and broken stone pillars, eaves, and the ruins of ancient palaces, revealing the vicissitudes and mystery of countless years past.

Upon hearing He San's words, the crowd, who were still immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster, were immediately jolted awake!

That's right! So many people died and were injured, all for the rare treasures, martial arts techniques, and divine weapons within these ruins!

"Charge! Let's grab the treasure!" someone shouted at the top of their lungs.

The next moment, the various forces that were originally allied suddenly turned red and rushed towards the lush green ruins like bees!

He San's eyes flickered slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. Instead of stopping them, he stepped aside to make way for those impatient people who rushed ahead to scout the path.

At the very back of the chaotic, treasure-hunting crowd, Shen Wanqian wiped away his sweat and whispered to the composed Chen You beside him, "Brother Chen, aren't we in a hurry to grab it?"

"No rush."

Chen You shook his head.

Because he had just checked some information.

[Information 1: The puppet formation is only the first layer of the mechanism. This entrance has two more layers of mechanisms, and the next layer contains a self-destruct fruit!]

[The Self-Destruct Fruit, a mutated special type of fruit containing countless tiny steel needles! Normally, when untriggered, it resembles a vibrant fruit, emitting a delicious, medicinal aroma. Once touched, the fully ripened Self-Destruct Fruit explodes, indiscriminately killing passersby.]
