Volume 1 Southern Boys Chapter 33: Puppet Making
The time has come, and with Mu Gui's announcement on the assessment seat, the annual puppeteer competition in Biluo City has officially begun.
On the second floor of the hall of the Alliance, all the contestants could sense that many puppeteers who had joined the Alliance were watching their competition, and what they didn't know was that at the top of the Alliance Tower, the Heaven Dou Sect and the rest of the forces were also secretly watching the competition through the Soul Shadow Stone.
The Soul Shadow Stone is a rare ore on the Soul Continent, and the user can project the direction of the Soul Shadow Stone through the transmission of soul power, so as to convey the picture, and the picture is proportional to the quality of the soul stone with the user's soul power transmission. The higher the accuracy of the soul power, the better the quality of the soul stone, the clearer the projection screen, and vice versa.
This time, the Puppet Master Alliance will add two Soul Shadow Stones, one for the inner side of the top of the tower, for the needs of high-level forces from all sides to watch the battle.
The other is on the outer rock wall of the Guild Hall, for civilians and ordinary souls to see.
This is to ensure the fairness of the competition, and the second is to publicize the grand occasion of the puppeteer alliance competition, and the most important thing is the demand for talents from all parties, so as to facilitate the selection and pull-in.
On the quaint preaching stone platform, with the announcement of the contest by the examiner, the puppeteer contest officially began.
The first level of the game - the puppet.
Shrugging his shoulders, on the wall of the pulpit, the rules and steps of the puppet were naturally presented.
In order to successfully pass the first level and advance to the next round, the basic condition that needs to be completed is that you must independently complete the creation of a puppet. And the corresponding fairness is also to prevent someone from using puppets outside of the game without permission.
Puppet making is also the basis for considering the strength of a puppeteer, and the quality of the puppets produced by these puppeteers in the competition determines the victory or defeat of the puppet level.
In a short time, each contestant was already in place, and nearly a thousand puppeteers lined up one by one to enter the 100 seats.
Luckily, according to the serial number, the funeral night was at the end of the second round. This allows him to clearly see how others make puppets and gives him some experience.
Soon, in about half an hour, the initial 100-plus puppet system was completed, but unfortunately, only one-third of the 100 people successfully advanced to the next round.
When each puppet is completed, the examiner can directly discharge the soul power into the puppet made by the contestant by transferring the soul power in the puppet making materials in advance, so as to determine whether the puppet is qualified or not.
"These guys, most of the puppets made by them have a single method, and the puppet plan is rigid, and it is difficult to become a climate at first glance. ”
"It seems that this tournament is still the same as in previous years, and we have not seen the kind of existence that can shine. ”
"Damn, isn't it really unsuitable for us in the Southern Regions to cultivate powerful puppeteers?"
"If this continues, the animal trainer and their group will continue to suppress it..."
Through the Soul Shadow Stone, the hearts of the various forces at the top of the alliance surged.
Finally, the first round of 100 people came to a successful conclusion, some people happily advanced, and some people left disappointed.
Finally, the second round of puppet-making began, Funeral Night picked up the pale yellow animal skin paper on the contestant's seat, and compared to the puppeteers next to him, he glanced around slightly and started to make puppets directly, the former first carefully looked at the structure of the puppets made on the animal skin.
In the past few days, under the teaching of the elder, the silence of the heart is an important instinct that the elder taught to the puppeteer of the funeral night. This requires the puppeteer to feel the arteries on the soul of the refining puppet from the heart, so as to control the rhythm of the entire puppet making.
Glancing at the animal skin paper in detail, the funeral night entered the state of puppet control with all his heart, and his unconscious soul power gradually appeared as small as others, and the small cyclone generated by the surrounding soul power also slowly crept around.
"This puppet requires a steel-bladed body, and the two fingers of the soul line can control the mobility, which can cooperate with the controller to use low-level soul skills for a short time. It is undoubtedly very difficult for novice puppeteers, and it seems that this tournament wants to raise the bar again directly through the first round, no wonder nearly two-thirds of the people were eliminated in the first round. ”
Funeral Night muttered lightly in his heart, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a smile, after the intensive training of the elder and the Heavenly Reward of Funeral Night itself, this level of puppet funeral night training has to refine nearly ten a day, "Hmph, this kind of puppet is not difficult for me." ”
The animal skin paper in his hand was slowly put down, and the funeral night glanced at each other, but he found that the two people sitting next to him were confidently copying the knife puppet just now, but now they were in a hurry.
"Ridiculous. ”
I couldn't help but underestimate it in my heart, and I picked up the puppet knife and threw it into the puppet altar on the funeral night, and then the soul power in the body rioted, and the fiery soul energy gathered in the palm of the hand with the whole body, pasted on the puppet altar, and the puppet knife was controlled by the soul energy to outline the structure of the puppet.
The puppet knife, as the basis of the structure of this puppet, carries the meaning like the heart of a human and the soul core of a demonic beast.
When the puppet altar was burned by the open flame and the soul line of the soul qi was potentially shaped, a rumbling sound hit the face, and the fiery temperature of the puppet altar was covered by layers of energy apertures, which symbolized that the core of the puppet had begun to be born.
At the same time, the incandescent aperture forms a small enchantment, wrapping the puppet altar and the contestants, which is also a unique enchantment form produced by the puppeteer when making a puppet, the stronger the soul power, the higher the accuracy of the soul power, and the higher the puppet, the greater the strength of the enchantment.
With the energy covered by the aperture, Funeral Night skillfully picked up the puppet-making herbs and threw them into the puppet altar, and the soul line transformed by the soul qi continued to move and manipulate.
In the hall, the incandescent aperture is now, and the people watching through the soul shadow stone have also become inattentive, the purpose of their coming is to tap talents, most of the forces and families lack the irreplaceable vacancy of puppeteers, they don't want to lose the good opportunity of talents because of their laxity, and be seized by other forces.
Everyone sitting on the second floor and the top floor, including the insiders of the Puppeteer Alliance, were all engrossed in staring at the puppet-making movements of the contestants, and after a while, the performance of the funeral night attracted the attention of some people.
"What is the origin of that little ghost, such a strange carving technique, and the control of this soul line is so skillful, every carving can be so silky. Outside the Soul Shadow Stone, a big leader of the forces frowned and said darkly.
The atmosphere became more and more intense, and the funeral night was so novel in terms of the movements and steps of the puppet under the support of everyone, and soon everyone's eyes were focused on the funeral night.
"It's him..."The right hand unconsciously sucked his thumb, and Mu Gui, who was the chief assessment officer of this time, also noticed the movement of the funeral night, "I remember that he was the young man next to Xiaoxi, it seems that the feeling at that time was not wrong!"
However, at this time, Funeral Night did not care about the gaze of others, at this time he had completely entered the puppet refining mode, the soul line shown in his left hand was withdrawn, and he held a handful of iron sand powder and threw it into the puppet altar again for cultivation, Funeral Night licked his mouth unconsciously, "There is still one last step left, and the puppet is about to succeed." ”
