Chapter 3377 — Puppet Clone
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Though Wei Zhao was not afraid of the dead, the corpse of an enemy appearing inexplicably in the jade pendant space was more than he could take calmly.
"Not me. That thing brought it in," Jiao Yazi said, pointing at the ghostly mass in the corner.
"Senior Ghost, you're awake?" Wei Zhao said, slightly taken aback, and then asked.
"Yes, awake. Not a bad corpse—a peak late Heavenly Tier grand-completion master, and a cut above the ordinary grand-completion masters at that. For now I'll refine it into a puppet clone of mine, just for fun. I've recovered a good deal of my primordial spirit power here lately—the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this place is truly abundant, haha!" The ghost thing suddenly burst into laughter: "Come to think of it, I ought to thank you for bringing me such a fine toy!"
"Puppet clone?" Wei Zhao was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what the ghost thing meant. "You brought this corpse in? How can you control the jade pendant space?"
"Haha, inside the jade pendant space I am in fact half its master. If you can bring things in, naturally I can too. Ask Jiao Yazi—he can as well!" The ghost thing laughed. "Of course, all of this is thanks to your refining the jade pendant space. Had you not refined it, I could not have brought the corpse in either."
"So that's how it is." What Wei Zhao heard sent a chill down his spine. Thank goodness he was not afraid of such things—otherwise the ghost thing would have frightened him to death! "Then is it done? What is this so-called puppet clone for?"
"It's not much use, really. I merely put a thread of my primordial spirit power into the corpse's body, making it my puppet clone, able to move freely in the outside world. Of course, its strength is a bit low for my purposes—I'll just treat it as a way to stretch my legs when I'm bored!" the ghost thing said. "It's like another me, one that can be directed by the me within the jade pendant space!"
"Oh? So once it leaves the jade pendant space, it's equivalent to a peak late Heavenly Tier grand-completion master, and it's controlled by you, Senior?" Wei Zhao was suddenly delighted—did this not amount to gaining an extra fighter?
But once the excitement passed, Wei Zhao calmed down again. This was a formidable fighter, true, but would the ghost thing be willing to work for him? The few times he had asked for help before, the ghost thing had barely deigned to respond. Now he would be sending its clone out in person to serve as a fighter—surely it would be even less willing?
"Quite right. You may understand it that way!" The ghost thing nodded and said with certainty. (To be continued)
