"Welcome to the Puppet Theater—"

"The show begins!"

Following Ling Xingye's words, a huge stadium-style theater quietly unfolded.

Then, a band composed of automatic puppets played the BGM, the lights were cast, and the protagonist appeared—

As heroes and braves, Ling Xingye and Yaoyao, and villains Ling Changyun and Yunji.

Under Ling Xingye's strong control, the automatic puppets who were trapped in the theater, or had just been involved in it, became group performers of "Passerby A, B, C, Ding" and were forced to perform on stage.

Using fast and concise dramatic means, Ling Xingye explained the background plot in a "fast forward" style—

The story takes place in a kingdom. The old king died and the eldest princess succeeded. However, the prince and lord who was entrusted outside launched a rebellion, intending to seize the throne, and launched an attack while the princess was on tour.

At this time, the brave man, the supporter of the princess, comes on the stage and confronts the rebellious prince...

The plot is a very old-fashioned or classic script. For the Ling brothers who grew up in the Ling family's class, it can be said to be fluent.

Ling Changyun could tell at a glance what the "group performers" puppets were performing.

"Hehe, am I the rebellious prince? How dare you say it!"

Ling Xingye said: "If the plot requires it, don't be picky. After all, you are also the protagonist, big brother!"

After finishing speaking, the sprites drew out their swords and rushed towards the "rebels".

Ling Changyun frowned, he found that his ability had failed.

Ling Xingye's "puppet theater" is a world of its own, isolating the inside and outside, making it impossible for him to continue to manipulate the quality of matter.

"But it's not an insurmountable difficulty. It only takes a little time to analyze it..." Ling Changyun said to himself.

But right now, Ling Xingye obviously won't give him this time.

Looking at the sprites who came to kill with the sword, Ling Changyun raised his finger and pointed at the opponent: "In that case, let's have fun with you."

The silk thread suddenly tightened, and Yun Ji flew out beside her, facing the challenge head-on.

Brothers from the same school once again launched a pure puppet duel.

Sprite and Yunji collided, and the air between them seemed to explode, and a fierce super-high-speed attack and defense erupted.

Fighting each other with fists and feet, the two puppets turned their whole bodies into weapons, launching a mad attack with the momentum to crush everything in front of them.

Just a purely physical collision will trigger waves of shock waves visible to the naked eye.

Occasionally, there are "group performer" puppets nearby, and before they can get close, they are blown away by the attacks that both of them conveniently leaked.

The silk-drawing opera masters of the two came from the same school, and Ling Xingye's skills were taught by his senior brother Ling Changyun on his behalf.

So Ling Changyun was full of confidence from the beginning.

"I thought how strong you would become after opening the pot in the world, but it's nothing more than that." Ling Changyun still had enough time to speak, "Do you think that if you seal my ability, you will have a chance of winning?"

Ling Xingye responded without showing any weakness: "Don't be too complacent, senior brother! Even in the battle at noon today, you didn't win, right? And now, there is no third senior sister to help you!"

At noon, before the abandoned office building, the two had a puppet show confrontation like this, but Ling Changyun had the ability to bless the whole process at that time, and he kept aggravating Ling Xingye and Yaoyao.

It's really not convincing to switch to a pure silk-drawing showdown at this time.

But Ling Changyun's performance was impeccable. Even without the blessing of the ability to control mass, the technique of simply manipulating Yun Ji is not weaker than Ling Xingye.

It even vaguely occupied the rhythm of the battle.

This made Ling Xingye amazed.

One must know that what Eldest Brother used to manipulate Yun Ji was only his hands, at most his whole body. But I am a complex mechanism composed of thousands of small squares in the "phase fulcrum"!

Just from the technical point of view, Ling Changyun's silk-drawing play is amazing!

At the same time, Ling Changyun also lamented Ling Xingye's strength in his heart.

— Indeed, as Ling Xingye said, this battle does not have Yu Wufei's help.

This means that he cannot directly see Ling Xingye's "manipulation system" like he did during the day, and then judge the monster's movements in advance.

At this moment, Ling Xingye's superpower "Phase Fulcrum" combined with the strength of the silk-drawing drama, is really brought out!

If Ling Changyun's silk-drawing play is the pinnacle of skill, it's amazing. Then Ling Xingye really manipulated the puppet to be as flexible as his other body.

If he hadn't seen the operation method of the "manipulation system" before, it would be impossible for Ling Changyun to suppress the opponent and seize the opportunity.

At the same time, the true value of Ling Xingye's "single-player theater" is also reflected-while manipulating the sprites, he also distractedly manipulates the other fourteen "group performer" puppets to continue to promote the development of the plot.

This is something that only Ling Xingye can do.

Although Ling Changyun can also control ten puppets at the same time, but when he really fights with all his strength, this number is directly reduced to three.

In fact, he did forcibly seize control of the other two automatic puppets.

But to compete with Ling Xingye in quantity, it is still a level behind.

So he simply put the two puppets into the battle together, cooperated with Yun Ji, and besieged the monsters.

This trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao really worked, the pressure on the sprites increased sharply, and Ling Xingye had to give up some of the "group performers" puppets to increase the manipulation of sprites.

"Hey, little brother! Your repertoire can't go any further," Ling Changyun said loudly, "Let's call the curtain down early!"

"Are you kidding me! Since you're on the stage, you have to start and finish!" Ling Xingye gritted his teeth.

Ling Changyun snorted coldly, and continued to maintain a high-intensity attack rhythm.

He has already seen through the mystery of Ling Xingye's "puppet theater".

—Through the form of "drama"~lightnovelpub.net~Forcibly pull the enemy and us into the stage for "dramatic performance"; while sealing the enemy's various strange abilities, it can also make the enemy unable to escape.

Then, use the arrangement of the plot to control the progress of the battle and interfere with the winning rate of both sides.

Even... direct plot kill!

As the owner of the "Puppet Theater", Ling Xingye certainly has absolute control over the theater, and can also control the development of the plot to the greatest extent.

In this regard, Ling Changyun has no good solution. The only option is to step up the offensive, forcing Ling Xingye to have no time to care about the direction of the "plot".

Under the berserk attack of the three puppets, the sprites retreated one after another.

Ling Xingye gritted his teeth, and simply gave up manipulating the other puppets, and devoted himself to manipulating the sprites.

Like a spring being pressed to its limit, the sprite suddenly exerted force and blasted out with a punch, smashing an automatic puppet into parts!

Then, the sprite shook off the "flying blade" on his fingertips and launched a counterattack.

This time, it was Ling Changyun's turn to have a headache.

He was consuming Ling Xingye's computing power, but Ling Xingye was holding back his attention.

Ling Xingye knew that the elder brother's loss of the ability to control the mass was only temporary, because the "puppet theater" became its own domain and was isolated from the outside world.

The elder brother's ability is only unable to match the new environment for a while, but it doesn't disappear—as long as he is given enough time to adapt, he can use that troublesome ability again.

Therefore, Ling Xingye is also increasing the fighting rhythm and strengthening the offensive, making sure that the big brother does not have the leeway to analyze the new environment.

For a while, the two didn't speak again, but continued to speed up the speed of manipulating the puppet amidst the increasingly rapid background music.

On the huge stage, only the explosion of air and the collision of puppet limbs were continuous, resounding like thunder through the heaven and earth.
