"Well. Then, let's start with a level 5 puppet warrior," Cynthia said and snapped his finger again. Right after that, a humanoid-shaped figure wearing a green gown and holding a spear appeared inside the hall.
In a green gown, the humanoid-shaped puppet dashed toward Bobby and poked him by the head with the sharp spearhead he held in the middle of the enormous shaft with his right hand.
Bobby easily evaded it by taking a fast sideways step on the left.
The puppet slightly turned its body and continued, poking at him with the spearhead aiming either at his head, his chest, or sometimes aiming at his belly.
Bobby evaded all the attacks easily by just taking a stroll from time to time.
"Listen, I have forgotten to mention this earlier. Killing this puppet will award you starting from 10 Experience points in a minute…. But, hey, you can gain more Experience points if you can defeat it in the shortest time." Cynthia's mellifluous voice chimed inside his head.
It was like a sweet melody in his ears and just within a second of hearing her words, Bobby this time sprinted toward the puppet and slashed at it without even using the power within the katana.
The next thing was that the head of the puppet rolled over the ground.
[ +15 Experience points awarded for killing a puppet at a level 5 ]
[ Host's Current Main Experience Points: 27,515 ]
And the next moment, Bobby saw both the body and head of the puppet along with the spear turning into multiple specks of green Green Origin Chi and thereby disappearing into the surroundings.
Plop!
Cynthia's sound of snapping fingers chimed inside his head and this time, another similar 10 puppets were at level 5 energy levels, all wearing greenish gowns materialized inside the cubic-shaped gigantic hall.
Just after appearing inside the gigantic hall, all the green silhouettes sprinted toward Bobby.
This time, Bobby was even faster, as he briskly moved around the room and halted his movement at the back of the last puppet.
Thud! Thud!....
Ten heads of the puppets rolled over the floor, making thudding sounds as they landed on it all at once.
Just like before, all the puppets turned into specks of greenish Origin Chi and quickly disappeared inside the room.
Meanwhile, multiple dinging sounds echoed inside his head, flooding with ten same notifications inside his head.
[ +20 Experience Points awarded for killing a puppet in energy level 5 within a second ]
...
...
[ Host's Current Main Experience Points: 28,515]
+100 Experience Points were rewarded for the last bout.
Plop!
Another sound of snapping fingers chimed inside his head.
This time, 100 puppets, all in Level 5 energy level, appeared inside the room.
Bobby's lips raised on both sides of his cheeks and disappeared from his current spot and the next moment he appeared at the back of the last puppets, and Cynthia saw him making the smirked of delight still hanging on his face.
Yeah, he was indeed happy because the current trial was like giving him free extra Experience Points.
Just like before, multiple notifications flooded his mind, with the beeping sounds ringing inside his head. Each head of the puppet rewarded him with +20 Experience Points.
[ +2,000 Experience Points added ]
[ Host's Current Experience Points: 30,515 ]
"Hee-hee-hee, sure, you can thank me later," Cynthia spoke, giggling inside his mind. "Shall we add some more spice to this game?"
Plop! (Sound of snapping fingers.)
A puppet with energy level 6 materialized inside the hall wearing blue gowns with a long spear of a thick shaft.
Just like before, Bobby easily beheaded it without even using the power within the katana.
[ +30 Experience Points added, for defeating a puppet with energy level 6 within a second ]
[ Host's Current Main Experience Points: 30,545 ]
Like this, the trial continued, and it became harder and harder to kill his opponent as the target of his upgraded energy level.
Currently, Bobby was engaging in a fierce battle with a puppet in energy level 10.
Clank! Clank! Clank!...
This time, the puppet with the black dress was very skilled in using the spear and used various spear techniques, especially taking the advantage of its length and keeping Bobby at bay, all this time stopping him to take an offensive side.
After a couple of minutes, he finally spotted a loophole on the spear technique.
So he surged his footstep as he whispered within his breath. "Ninja Movement technique, First Law, Racing Against The Wind!"
And he lifted his body in the air with the katana spearing outward and landed steadily just behind the puppet.
Thud!
The next instant, the head of the puppet landed on the floor with a thudding sound and rolled on it.
Ding!
[ +1000 Experience Points added for defeating a puppet in Level 10 energy level! ]
[ Host's Current Main Experience Points: 100,500 ]
Seeing his current status, Bobby made a cheerful smile as he caressed the blade of the katana in his hands. "Haha… Thank you so much, Cynthia!"
Cynthia, on the other hand, waved her hands and said, acting shyly, "Hey, it's nothing. I'm just doing my job here. So you don't need to thank me." "Anyway, I think we need to focus more on making this trial beautiful than hunting Experience Points. Why don't we make it more beautiful and see the real purpose of coming here? You'd better prepare. I'm going to summon a puppet with a level 15 Energy Level this time."
"Eh! Don't be hurry? I still have over 11 hours to spare inside this place." Bobby said slyly, feeling like this was his dream come true.
"Since you still have a greedy disposition and wish to continue the trial in the same manner as it is currently going, I know you'll wish to continue at this current pace. But hey, don't you worry, the reward for the next target will be more than you expect; for example, you will earn about twice as many Experience points as you would by continuing at this pace, plus you will get other bumper rewards such as sword techniques, movement techniques, and so on." Cynthia said as she further continued, "How about getting started with this level 15 Energy level puppet this time, instead of wasting your time and energy on this useless trial? No hurry, think about it."
After several minutes, Bobby made a ponderous face with his hand supporting his chin and opened his mouth as if contemplating a tough decision. "This sounds good, so let's do what you suggested"
"Then, here we go."
Plop! (Sound of snapping fingers)
A thick cloud of yellow Origin Chi appeared in the air, making a howling noise of the wind in the room and making Bobby's hair blow backward from the strong wind, slowly transforming into a humanoid puppet wearing a yellow shirt and pants. The humanoid-shaped puppet held a silver-colored long sword with a hook handle shaped like the head of a wolf.
"Oh, a sword user, interesting," Bobby mumbled to himself. He further observed the puppet and suddenly asked, "Unlike other puppets, I have faced before, this puppet does not attack me immediately when it appears... Hah! Cynthia, what is with the glowing eyes?... Could there be such a thing as sentience with this puppet?"
Cynthia replied immediately, without wasting time. "Yes, you're right.
In doing so, it is programmed in a way that makes it aware and capable of having its intelligence and judgment while it duels with its opponent. Oh, and one more important thing, this puppet is well versed in using wind law and versatile in using the sword at the same time."
"Well, that's great. Let's hope this puppet can provide me with another great time like I did last time inside the woods." Bobby grinned from ear to ear.
Bobby stormed toward it and he then slashed the puppet multiple times in different parts in the next second.
Clank! Clank! Clank!....(Sound of swords clashing)
His sword strikes were easily blocked by the puppet in various styles for a long time until it began to bring in offensive stanch and began to hack at him in very tricky ways.
There was a fierce battle between the two, as they started to throw out all sorts of tricky and intricate sword attacks on each other, and they were both equally skilled at sword fighting, but Bobby was gradually pushed back as the puppet's strength was greater than his.
The impact of the puppet's sword was so hard on Bobby that the weight of the blade caused him to ponder in his mind thinking as he held the katana. "Hmm, in terms of strength with this puppet at level 15, I'm much weaker. In this situation, it would be unwise of me to continue the match in this rhythm. Since I have less strength, I'm going to use speed to beat it." "Ninja Movement Technique, First Law, Racing Against The Wind!"
Immediately thereafter, his movement speed sped up, and he moved around the puppet, striking it with his sword several times.
