Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 213: Chapter 15 Victory! Full of Gains (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)_3

That is the effect of Severely Toxic Grass, seemingly insignificant, it could not hinder the steps of the Demon Puppet.

Yet its splashing juice had already been smeared all over the Demon Puppet.

The poison was gradually causing minor damage to the Demon Puppet in a subtle and imperceptible way.

On the other hand, Wang Shouzhe remained poised, maintaining his Mysterious Energy consistently at a high level, ensuring it would not be consumed completely.

He occasionally took a Cultivation Pill, his body continuously using up his vitality to gradually convert it into Mysterious Energy. Although this recovery method was not as immediate as meditation, it was reliable as it was continuously regenerating.

This battle was bound to be a marathon.

Four hours later, only a third of the Vine Array Wang Shouzhe had set-up remained. Most of it had already been swept away and trampled to dust by the Demon Puppet, and the trial field was littered with vine debris.

This was even after Wang Shouzhe had continuously replanted the vines.

This goes to show how terrifying a Demon Puppet from the Spirit Platform Realm could be.

However intimidating it was, its life was nearing its end. Most of its vital force was already exhausted, and its body was full of festering sores, being continuously corroded by the poison. Its steps became faltering, and the speed at which it was cutting down the vines became incredibly slow.

Gradually, the vines entangled it faster than it could cut them down.

Once this state was reached, it was destined to meet death.

All the Old Ancestors who had been watching the battle exchanged glances with grave expressions. If they were to encounter a similar Vine Array.

If they were to get stuck in it, their ending would probably not be much better.

Humans, nonetheless, were humans, not the Demon Puppets of the trial field.

They could circumvent such situations.

That particular Demon Puppet was simply worn down bit by bit. However, the Old Ancestors could find a way to fight their way out, dust themselves off, and walk away, refusing to play if they couldn’t win!

Indeed, this was a deficiency of Wang Shouzhe’s Vine Array.

It was, as the saying goes, more defense than offense.

If he reached the Spirit Platform Realm and bred the Bloodthirsty Vines, the situation would be different.

Despite the Vine Array’s many weaknesses, in this trial field, it demonstrated its full power.

The utterly depleted Demon Puppet was gradually engulfed by countless vines, and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Average people would at this point draw their sword and quickly kill it.

But Wang Shouzhe remained exceedingly patient.

There was an abundance of time, and since it was trapped, he could slowly grind it to death.

Why risk rushing forward to kill it!?

In this manner, another two hours passed on. As Wang Shouzhe methodically continued to replant vines and let them join the entangling allies, the Demon Puppet was finally worn to death.

The entire battle lasted four-and-a-half hours, and the Demon Puppet, from start to finish, didn’t even manage to touch Wang Shouzhe’s sleeve.

“Congratulations War Soldier Wang Shouzhe, you’ve won the final victory.” said the Artifact Spirit.

As the Artifact Spirit’s voice echoed, everyone knew that the Spirit Platform Realm Demon Puppet buried deep within the vines had finally perished!

At this moment,

Liu Ruolan cautiously avoided the debris from the vines, stepped forward to complete the marital ritual: “My husband is mighty, you’ve worked hard!”

Truthfully, it hadn’t exactly been a display of might, and the battle wasn’t any roller-coaster passion, it was all about playing hide-and-seek and movement.

In Elder Ancestor Xuanfu’s words, Wang Shouzhe was dreadfully scared of death, completely lacking the forward spirit of a Sky Pride.

So what? Isn’t such a way of fighting very safe?

Liu Ruolan felt full of security in her heart. Having such a cautious husband, she didn’t have to worry when he was out about whether he would be in danger. How wonderful is that?

Then,

It was time for the highly anticipated moment – the distribution of spoils of war.

This time, without any introduction from the Artifact Spirit, Wang Shouzhe directly said, “Artifact Spirit, I want that Spiritual Pearl of Primordial Water.”

Naturally, this Spiritual Pearl of Primordial Water went to Madam Liu Ruolan.

“My lord, you’re truly considerate. Always thinking about me,” Liu Ruolan said, moved by his action.

“Madam, you are the truly considerate one, always thinking about your husband,” he replied.

The couple started blatantly expressing their affection for each other without any regard for the people around them.

Down in the trial field, Liu Ruolei looked on with forlorn.

Better to return to the Academic Palace sooner rather than later. If she continued to stay in this place, how could her young heart bear it?
