Chapter 901: Chapter 574: Elder Long’s Hidden Motives, Shock_2

It is hopeful for Lu Lin to know.

After three months, Lu Lin definitely won’t complete it, then Elder Long can show off a sense of superiority and then once again encourage Lu Lin a bit, and lower the difficulty a little.

Through repeated blows, Lu Lin will certainly learn to avoid arrogance and impatience, maintaining a calm mind.

Over so many years, although Elder Long has never personally accepted a disciple, he has done considerable research on how to cultivate disciples.

For a super genius like Lu Lin who participated in the Heavenly Talent War and stood out from over six thousand people, you absolutely cannot coddle him.

The lesson from past experiences is Long Ze.

Back then, Long Ze’s talent was so exceptional that even Lv Potian was alarmed.

If not for the lack of time, Long Ze would have been a disciple of Lv Potian.

And upon receiving such a talented disciple, Elder of Heng Mountain valued him extremely highly, in terms of food, clothing, cultivation, combat — as long as Long Ze needed something, Elder of Heng Mountain would provide it, and not just fulfill the need but do so tenfold, hundredfold.

Although Long Ze’s character was fairly good and did not become arrogant and domineering in such pampering, there was naturally a demeanor in his heart.

He wouldn’t eat anything other than the best.

Thus, a life always smooth and fulfilling led Long Ze to see everyone as a good person, a good friend, a good brother.

Although he had cultivated for a long time, he had never encountered any conspiracy or undergone any trials.

In the end, this caused a tragic event, preventing him from ever entering the Star Emperor Realm.

Therefore, for Lu Lin, the first thing Elder Long must do is eliminate his conceited mindset that looks down on everything.

Let Lu Lin know that no matter how formidable he might be, there is always someone greater, never to consider himself the strongest, and always maintain a heart of reverence towards the heaven and earth. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

And to possess such qualities, he must begin with this game.

Lu Lin watched Elder Long leave slowly and could only follow instructions to play the "game."

He didn’t directly start, but calculated in his mind the possible movement patterns of these one hundred puppets, and their speed and timing in passing the wooden sticks.

Fortunately, Elder Long wasn’t overly rigorous.

He set it so that each puppet held the wooden stick for an equal amount of time.

When the time was up, they would transfer the wooden stick away.

However, as to which puppet the wooden stick would be transferred to next, Lu Lin also researched it a bit.

There was an order.

Even though these hundred puppets did not have any numbering on them.

But using his strong memory, Lu Lin allowed the puppets to perform the game twice.

Each time, the order of the wooden stick transfers between these puppets was entirely the same.

In his mind, Lu Lin gave these puppets sequential numbers.

Thus, each of the hundred puppets had its own number, allowing Lu Lin to easily identify them.

Next, Lu Lin intended to study their movement patterns.

However, there was really no discernible pattern to be found in these movements.

"Young Master Lu Lin, it’s time for dinner."

A gentle woman’s voice sounded beside him.

Lu Lin was startled awake.

"How long have I been here?"

Lu Lin asked, facing the woman, who was the hemp-clothed maid he had encountered before, though he didn’t know her name yet.

"Young Master Lu Lin, you’ve been researching here for four days. Elder Long saw you were still studying and asked me to bring you some meals."

"Oh, thank you."

Lu Lin took the food box from the maid’s hand and began to feast heartily.

Four days passed by in a flash, and Lu Lin didn’t even feel the passage of time.

In Elder Long’s Cave Mansion, there was no distinction between day and night, so it’s no wonder Lu Lin didn’t notice.

The hemp-clothed maid stood silently watching Lu Lin eat.

After Lu Lin finished eating, she stepped forward to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks. She had intended to chat with Lu Lin, but seeing him back at researching the puppets, the hemp-clothed maid could only leave quietly.

After resting, Lu Lin’s thoughts changed somewhat.

Previously, he had always been researching the time intervals and the sequence of wooden stick transfers, but he hadn’t practiced even once.

The Sages said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

He was just burying himself in research here, but no matter how thorough his study was, it was useless.

He had to combine theory with practice.

Lu Lin activated the control switch for the Shadow Drifting Puppets and placed the wooden stick in the hand of the puppet he named Number One.

Swish.

Swish, swish.

The puppets started moving swiftly.

This was the extreme speed of the Star King Level.

If real martial artists were to display this, they wouldn’t be able to maintain such peak speed for too long.

But for the puppets, with ample energy supply, it was not a problem.

The wooden stick stayed in Number One’s hand for about thirty seconds before transferring to Number Two.

Standing afar, over a dozen Imprisoning Divine Circles appeared in Lu Lin’s hand.

Whizz.

A silver light flashed by.

The Imprisoning Divine Circle Lu Lin shot bounced off the head of Puppet Thirty-seven, then unexpectedly looped onto Puppet Sixty-five’s arm.

Puppet Sixty-five swung its arm, and the Imprisoning Divine Circle unexpectedly flew towards Lu Lin’s direction.

"Damn."

Lu Lin exclaimed in shock and hurriedly dodged.

The Imprisoning Divine Circle wasn’t just some experimental item but could be genuinely used in battle.

If caught by it, it could temporarily block Lu Lin’s Star Power and Soul Power.

Lu Lin did not wish to experience such a beautiful sensation once.

The first attempt ended in failure, but Lu Lin didn’t halt the puppets’ actions.

However, a serious expression appeared in his eyes.
