Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 74's. Adding Strength
For a time, Zhang En stayed at Du Xin and Deng Guangliang's house and started cultivating.
Zhang En was in no hurry to immediately take over the Sky Mage Sect and moments like this, it was not a good idea to rush over, even if he wanted it without careful preparation.
Zhang En first had to recover his spiritual power after marking the soul mark in Du Xin and Deng Guangliang for having exhausted most of his spiritual power.
Seven days passed quickly.
For the past seven days, everything had been proceeding as usual inside the mansion.
Due to the stern warning from Zhang En at the time he first came, not a single servant dared to speak about him to an outsider. Thus, Zhang En's arrival escaped the attention of Chen Xiaotian and Geng Ken of the Sky Mage Sect.
This gave Zhang En time to develop the Ancient Puppet Control Technique and the Soul marking without any interference.
Seven days was enough for Zhang En to fully recover from his too much drained spiritual power, and even after cultivating within the God Mountain Temple, his Qi became even stronger and purer. Cultivating to recover his spiritual power actually helped his spiritual power to recover faster.
With his spiritual power having fully recovered, Zhang En then approached the nineteen altar of the giant-looking puppet still remaining seated.
Although Zhang En had trained up to the first level of the Ancient Puppet Control Technique, granting him the ability to mark other living beings with soul marks, he had yet to attempt to manipulate any of these nineteen giant puppets.
Now that Zhang En was aiming to take over the Sky Mage Sect and it greatly increased his chances if he managed to control the giant puppet, then it could help him.
Walking up and up the Altar, Zhang En saw the puppet in the front row furthest away from him, at the left corner.
According to the Ancient script that was inside his head, one had to follow certain commands if one wanted to activate and control the puppet. The puppet on the edge of the front row was the first.
In front of the first puppet, Zhang En ran the Art of Control of Ancient Dolls. The ocean of his consciousness shook as he gathered spiritual Qi power, sending out waves of invisible energy in the form of traces that led to a gigantic puppet from the middle of his brows piercing straight into his mind.
When Zhang En's soul mark entered the puppet's mind, he felt shocked by the absorption power emerging from within the puppet. Zhang En felt his spiritual power drained a lot, drained out at high speed and out of his control.
"This is…?!" Zhang En felt shocked and deathly pale.
At this rate, his spiritual power would be depleted in less than two minutes. If that were to happen, Zhang En would be a fool.
Zhang En attempted to stop using the Puppet Control Art Technique to forcibly sever the relationship between him and the puppet, but then, Zhang En discovered that he was actually unable to retract his spiritual Qi or forcibly sever his connection.
“This... why it could be like this!”
Zhang En thought for a moment whether he should attack the giant puppet, the powerful whirlpool of suction disappearing all of a sudden. Zhang En felt like he had just gone through a difficult battle for his life. His body swayed and fell down on the altar with breathless breathing.
He wiped his forehead and cold sweat dripped on his finger.
"Damn, almost!" Zhang En said to himself.
While Zhang En tried to remain calm, the eyes of the first puppet opened then two brilliant green lights shone from his eyes. Furthermore, the giant puppet slowly rose up. Even so, his every move shook the altar.
When this giant puppet was in a sitting position, he roughly estimated its height to be over three meters, but when the first giant puppet stood in front of him, it far exceeded Zhang En's imagination.
The giant puppet was close to four meters tall, with a body twice as large as an average human warrior, similar to a small hill.
Seeing that his first attempt at stamping soul marks into the puppet's mind was successful, Zhang En finally felt greatly relieved.
"Ah Feng?" At this moment, some memories entered Zhang En's consciousness related to this particular puppet.
The power of the first puppet had reached the final five-star God Swordsman Realm. However, since it was refined from the ancient giant tribe, the defense of its body was on another level.
Zhang En's eyes instantly sparkled.
Nineteen giant puppets moved backwards, the strength of each puppet was partly at the level of the Sacred swordsman down.
Zhang En's feeling trembled looking at the giant puppet before him.
"Wake up." Zhang En ordered Ah Feng. Zhang En then sat down and began to recover his nearly depleted spiritual strength.
Three days and three nights later Zhang En recovered. Once again, he realized that his spiritual power had grown even stronger.
The entire time he recuperated, the first giant puppet, Ah Feng, stood near Zhang En to protect him.
After his spiritual strength recovered, Zhang En stood in front of the second giant puppet. The second doll seemed to be a woman but her appearance was as frightening as the first doll and just as big.
Standing in front of the second giant puppet, Zhang En once again ran the Art of Controlling Ancient Puppets. His gathered spiritual power turned into a soul mark as the energy swirling in the air entered the mind of the female puppet between her brows like the first puppet.
The same powerful suction power came from within the female puppet, but this time, after experiencing it once, Zhang En no longer panicked like before.
Some time later, the suction power disappeared like before. However, the amount of spiritual power that the second puppet took in exceeded the first.
Looking at this siteai, Zhang En guessed that at most he could control four gigantic puppets with his current level of spiritual power. Moreover, his spiritual power would not be able to support if he tried to control the fifth giant puppet as well.
After controlling the second puppet, Zhang En spent the next few days recovering his spiritual power to mark the soul mark of the third giant puppet. The same process he did with the fourth giant puppet and he stopped after that.
Although for the time being, Zhang En could only control four giant puppets, that was enough for his purpose.
Bringing these four giant puppets into his plan to take over the Sky Mage Sect became much smoother. Originally, to fight Chen Xiaotian and Geng Ken, he still did not have how to defeat them. However, with these four giant puppets, the two were no longer a problem.
After which, Zhang En walked out of the God Mountain Temple.
As for the four giant puppets, Zhang En left them inside the Poagoda Temple of the God Mountain, where he could easily summon them out if needed.
After exiting the God Mountain Temple Pagoda, he called Du Xin and Deng Guangliang and had them hold a banquet tomorrow night and invited their three Young Brothers.
"Yes, Young Master!" Du Xin and Deng Guangliang replied respectfully knowing that Zhang En had prepared to make a move.
Zhang En's plan was to control the other Elders of the Sky Mage Sect directly before dealing with Chen Xiaotian and Geng Ken.
When both of them and the other Heavenly Witch Sect Elders were under his control, executing his plan would be much easier.
