Yang Dao watched as everyone performed in the test. Finally, it was his turn. He stepped forward towards the formation, that looked like a dome of light. The activities performed inside were visible on the big screen outside. The screen seemed to have been made up of the spirit energy.
The young boy had no hesitation as he stepped forward to enter the formation. As soon as he came inside the test began. A humanoid wooden puppet rushed towards him. Yang Dao saw the incoming punch aimed at his face and tilted his head to let the fist pass. The next moment he grabbed the arm of the puppet and turned his body to the side.
The body of the puppet was lifted and flung overhead by Yang Dao. As soon as the puppet fell to the ground, Yang Dao punched it on the head. The head of the puppet split open. The actions were completed within a breath.
...
The people outside were surprised, they did not expect the boy to deal with the wooden puppet in such a mundane manner. Diana Fray said, "How?"
Daniel Dusk said, "He used the strength of the enemy against it."
The rest of the people also understood what happened. They were surprised at this. Yang Dao did not even take a blink to complete all these actions before he took down the first puppet.
...
As Yang Dao was finished dealing with the first puppet he was attacked by two more puppets, and they both came at the same time. The boy rushed to one attacking him from the right side and used his hands to divert the incoming punch at the puppet on his left, while his own legs took down the knee joints of the left puppet.
The injury on the knees made the puppet fall and the punch diverted on its chest shifted to its head. This dealt with one puppet and then Yang Dao used his palm and chopped at the neck of the puppet on the right. With that, the neck of the puppet was cut off.
...
Athena commented, "Is that isolated spirit energy augmentation?"
Daniel Dusk nodded and said, "The fine control of spirit energy to augment a specific part of the body. How much hard work does it need to achieve this?"
The people listening to their conversation were feeling scared inside their hearts when Yang Dao was being praised by these geniuses. The old man in the void smiled and said, "This is indeed a genius. Must coax this boy to be my disciple before that old guy does."
...
Yang Dao finished dealing with the two puppets, he was soon attacked by four more puppets. They were all used by similar hard and soft techniques. Yang Dao dealt in complete calm and at his own pace. He did not look like a ten-year-old boy.
After all, he has been sparing with Yue Yun from the moment he stepped into the middle level of the body formation realm. His combat prowess was not something these people could match. The next wave came with four wooden puppets as well.
These guys were, however, not only physically strong, but they were also using spirit energy. Yang Dao could sense the fluctuations coming from their bodies. This made him a bit curious about how these puppets could use the spirit energy, but he was aware that he needs to complete the exam first.
He kept on moving from one spot to another, using his light body arts. The speed was never surprising to the other people but to him it was normal.
...
Diana Fray asked, "Is he not using too much energy?"
Athena shook her head, "He is not tall enough yet, so he cannot get drawn into the pace of those puppets. They all attack in teamwork and thus it becomes difficult when you fight at close ranges."
Daniel nodded and said, "Good observation skills are needed to deduce this. He must have been watching really carefully. Also, what is up with his body movement? Dominating yet flexible."
The girl in green dress finally spoke up, "It is martial skill. Comprehended to the peak of success."
Martial Skills were used by the people to optimize the usage of spirit energy and increase the output of damage. None of the children here were unaware of the martial skills. However, they were far away from practicing one to the peak level.
Trent Grande said, "Despite his tongue, the skills are good."
The rest did not comment and continued observing the test.
...
Yang Dao moved around while landing blows to the puppets. All the attacks he committed, were focused at the joints of the puppets. He realized this very well, that he was facing a being that had no life inside, and only the connecting joints were the weakness.
The final four in the wave of melee attacking puppets were all at the same level as he was in cultivation, that was, the peak of the spirit gathering realm. Yang Dao took thirty breaths to deal with the four puppets.
As soon as he solved the melee attackers, he sensed a strong threat at his back and his figure moved. A spear stabbed at the place he stood. Yang Dao took off his sword, he was aware of his own talent. He knew that he was not so proficient in facing an armed assailant, yet.
The sword and the spear collided, usually, the one with the higher reach wins but Yang Dao closed the distance and dealt the critical blow to the puppet. Suddenly, he realized something, with a smile he began to face the next puppet but he did not take the initiative to cut it down but he parried and waited.
...
Diana Fray said, "Does he not know that the puppets will not wait for him to deal with the rest. They will all come over after a certain time now."
The girl in the green robe said, "He is doing it deliberately."
This shocked the people in the true sense.. They did not expect such a thing to be going on in his mind.
