I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

“Heavenly Manipulation Technique — Eighteen Diamond Buddhas!”

Golden light flashed in Qing Zhi’s eyes as his aura became vast and powerful.

Six huge symbols exploded with resounding booms in the air.

From the shattered symbols, six golden Buddhas with mountainous auras emerged.

“Bu Dai, Ba Jiao, Chang Mei, Kan Men, Xiang Long, Fu Hu!”

The Heavenly Manipulation Technique was an extremely powerful puppet-manipulation technique from the Buddhist Kingdom. Those who cultivated the technique to its fullest would be able to control a total of eighteen diamond Buddha puppets.

At Qing Zhi’s current cultivation base, he was naturally unable to perform the technique to such an extent. Even with the assistance of the Angelic Formation of Five Elements, he was only able to control six diamond Buddha puppets.

But even with just six, that was enough!

Boom!

Gale-force winds brewed on the ground with the emergence of the six diamond Buddha puppets. The light of the Buddha shone brilliantly as waves of powerful auras tumbled toward the girl in front of them like huge waves.

During this period, the girl exchanged a few more blows with the angelic projection behind Augus but was still unable to gain a decisive advantage.

Augus, Shirley, and Dong Yan were all injected with confidence as they sensed the extremely powerful auras of the six diamond Buddha puppets behind them and their fighting spirits were reignited.

Each of the six diamond Buddha puppets possessed power that was just barely on par with a Soul Formation Initial Stage cultivator. Aside from using the energy from spirit stones, Qing Zhi had to constantly inject his own vital energy into the puppets, which was an extremely taxing task that he could not keep up for long.

However, with the assistance of the Angelic Formation of Five Elements, Shirley, Dong Yan, and Qing Xin could also inject their energy into the six puppets, allowing Qing Zhi to maintain control over them for a longer period of time.

At the behest of Qing Zhi’s intent, the six diamond Buddha puppets all pounced toward the girl at once while bringing out their respective dharma treasures.

They each had their own divine abilities, all of which were powerful enough to shake heaven and earth itself.

The angelic projection was already fighting on par with the little girl; with the entrance of the six diamond Buddha puppets into the fray, the little girl was forced into retreat.

On the Blue Sky Plaza, the entourage from the three powers were originally all dejected and had accepted defeat, but hope was reignited in their hearts at the sight of the trump cards unleashed by the Garden of Eden and the Buddhist Kingdom.

The students of the Heavenly Court were beginning to get anxious. Their representatives had already forged an alliance with the little girl, so they were essentially on the same boat. Now that the war demon was forced into a disadvantageous situation, the Heavenly Court’s seemingly assured victory was suddenly under threat.

A Celestial Maiden in a simple robe sat in the VIP stands, staring intently at the crystal screen.

She was not focusing her attention on the heated battle. Instead, her anticipation-filled gaze was wandering toward the man who was spectating the battle from nearby.

An Lin and Liu Qianhuan did not expect the three powers to be able to summon up such terrifying power after joining forces. They were already planning to enter the battle when they saw the little girl being forced into retreat.

“Let’s go stall those puppets. Even if we can’t contain them, let’s try to find a way to at least disrupt. Those puppets are extremely powerful so they definitely wouldn’t be able to maintain them for a long time!” Liu Qianhuan exclaimed in panic.

An Lin blinked in confusion. “What? Which ones are puppets?”

Liu Qianhuan’s eyes widened. “Are you blind? Those shiny golden monks are puppets!”

“What… they’re puppets?! They’re so realistic and lifelike, I thought they were materialized from some type of immortal spell…” An Lin was in shock. “Speaking of which, are puppets even permitted in competitions like this?”

Liu Qianhuan rolled her eyes. “Of course, this isn’t like cheating using talismans. Manipulation of mechanical puppets requires perfect harmony between your mind, Qi, and consciousness. To be able to wield them is a manifestation of the wielder’s power in itself, thus their use would not be banned.”

“Hmm… so if there’s a type of puppet that doesn’t require manipulation or control, but is unable to manifest the wielder’s power, would we be able to use them?” An Lin was a little hesitant when he asked the question.

“What are you getting at?”

“What I’m saying is, let me show you something interesting…”

Boom!

The little girl was being surrounded by the six diamond Buddha puppets while an angel drew its bow, shooting forth an arrow imbued with a peerless divine glow. The arrow pierced through her shoulder before taking a huge chunk out of the mountain behind her, leaving a huge trench in the ground.

Blood spilled everywhere, and the little girl gritted her teeth and swung her fists around as she stumbled back in retreat.

The six diamond Buddha puppets, each of them wielding a myriad of divine abilities.

The girl could only use her fists in retaliation. Straight punch, jab, hook… She didn’t know any other moves! All she was capable of were these simple fist techniques.

“Victory is in sight, let’s give it one last push!”

Augus roared as he chased after the girl in hot pursuit.

They could already see the light at the end of the tunnel and they chased after their opponent with all their might.

Boom!

Another three diamond Buddha puppets were sent flying by the girl’s fists. Their seemingly indestructible bodies were riddled with craters as cracks began to extend from them like spider webs.

However, Fu Hu, Xiang Long, and Chang Mei grabbed this opportunity to close the distance between themselves and the girl and began to unleash their divine abilities.

“Jade Tiger Quake!” The Fu Hu puppet unleashed a powerful fist, conjuring up the projection of a tiger’s head in the air as golden ripples exploded forth with a roar, annihilating everything around the projection.

“Dragon-Slaying Sword!” The Xiang Long puppet made a seal with its hand as a golden sword of a hundred feet in length slashed toward its petite opponent with devastating sealing power.

“Demon-Sealing Lock!” White strands of thick rope flew forth from the Chang Mei puppet’s hands, pouncing on the girl as if they were pythons seeking to ensnare the opponent.

The girl had just unleashed a fist and did not have time to retract her arms in defense before the three divine abilities descended upon her.

The dazzling divine abilities descended upon her and she knew that she couldn’t dodge this attack. She narrowed her bright eyes and balled herself up in preparation to take the attack head-on.

But right at this moment, two figures appeared in front of her.

“Be… be careful!” The girl was in a momentary daze at this sight before yelling in panic.

She knew what would inevitably happen if people with Guardian-level power were to take on those three divine abilities.

But in the next instant, her pupils contracted and a shocked expression appeared on her face as she discovered the identities of the two figures in front of her.

“Activate, Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation!”

The two figures in front of her raised their arms as a film of blue light appeared around them, encapsulating themselves as well as the girl within.

Boom!

The Jade Tiger Quake collided with the film of light, crushing the ground beneath it into sand and dust, but was unable to penetrate the barrier.

The golden Dragon-Slaying Sword stabbed viciously into the barrier, releasing vast amounts of sealing power. A few cracks appeared in the barrier, while the huge golden sword was completely shattered by the backlash.

The white strands of thick rope struck the barrier but could only skirt around its exterior before mysteriously catching on fire…

“They blocked it…” The little girl stared at the scene before her with her mouth completely agape in shock.

Two humanoid mechanical puppets stood in front of her proudly, emitting a white metallic sheen.

Augus and the others were also quite surprised by the fact that the attacks from the puppets had been dispelled and stared cautiously at the two silvery-white puppets standing before them.

“Allow me to introduce my little pawns. This is Gundam Number One and Gundam Number Two.” An Lin made a grand entranced and explained with a smile on his face, “As for which one is Gundam Number One and which one is Gundam Number Two, I don’t really remember myself, but that’s fine, the result is all the same anyway…

“Gundam Number One, Gundam Number Two, take down those monk puppets!”

At An Lin’s command, the two silvery-white Gundams finally unleashed their terrifying power in front of everyone for the first time…
