direct control, he might have turned around and fled in the face of this overwhelming threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly felt that if this puppet were to release this arrow, even if he fully deployed the sword array for defense, he might not be able to successfully block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an ordinary cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection level, they would likely be pulverized instantaneously under this arrow, with no chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This power definitely reaches the quasi-Fourth Rank level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the shock, Xu Ping was left with sheer joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original \"Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman\" bestowed far more power to the puppet than he had originally expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that at most, it would reach the level of his sword array, but he didn’t expect it to exceed that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This original ’Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman’ was truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment of delight, Xu Ping keenly noticed that this Third-rank Top-grade Puppet seemed to have some anomalies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t the pressure on this Third-rank Top-grade Puppet a bit too much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully observing for a while, he realized that the power of this original \"Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman\" was too formidable, far exceeding his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this meticulously crafted Third-rank Top-grade Puppet successfully withstood the power of the rune, the price was significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing on his deep knowledge of puppetry, Xu Ping closely observed every subtle change in the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he concluded that this puppet could fire at full power a maximum of five times, after which it would collapse under the immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I painstakingly create something that’s essentially disposable?\" Xu Ping was utterly frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a Third-rank Top-grade Puppet as a consumable is something that any top puppet master would find unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a grandmaster of puppetry like Gu Yuntao, with advanced skills and abundant resources, would likely feel distressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If even a Third-rank Top-grade Puppet cannot perfectly bear the power of such a rune, doesn’t it mean that at least a quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet is needed to use the ’Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman’ without concerns?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Xu Ping couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet is such a high-level existence that its crafting difficulty and the materials and techniques required far exceed his current capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t even a Third-rank Top-grade Puppet Master yet, so how could he possibly craft a quasi-Fourth Rank Puppet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh well, though this puppet can only be used as a consumable, its demonstrated power reaching the quasi-Fourth Rank level means it wasn’t a futile effort after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping consoled himself, finding some solace in the formidable power contained within the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, crafting another Third-rank Top-grade Puppet would ensure absolute success in the campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t win, he could escape with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what, I need to quickly refine a Third-rank Top-grade Puppet and officially become a Third-rank Top-grade Puppet Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his sleeve, the Third-rank Top-grade Puppet disappeared, replaced by two piles of puppet materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope these materials of the Third-rank Top-grade Puppet can yield a successful outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the materials before him, Xu Ping steadied his resolve and formally began the endeavor to become a Third-rank Top-grade Puppet Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a piece of metal material emitting a gentle glow, crucial to the puppet’s framework, hard and incredibly tough, providing stable support to the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lightly caressed the material, feeling the spiritual power fluctuations within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he placed the material on a specially designed artifact refining platform, exhaling his pill fire to mold it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames licked the material with precision under his control, gradually softening it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed swiftly, like a white steed flitting past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to him, three years had quietly slipped by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the chamber was suffused with intense spiritual power fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brand new Third-rank Top-grade Puppet stood silently at the center of the chamber, radiating formidable auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet’s appearance was lifelike, with smooth and elegant lines, its eyes flickering with lively light as if endowed with life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s finally completed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the masterpiece before him, Xu Ping couldn’t help but break into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had only managed to craft one puppet from two piles of Third-rank Top-grade Puppet materials, it undoubtedly signified his well-deserved status as a Third-rank Top-grade Puppet Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this puppet, there’s more assurance in the campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping murmured to himself, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he now possessed two Third-rank Top-grade Puppets, each inscribed with the original \"Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A volley from these could likely overcome the strong puppet array previously demonstrated by Gu Yuntao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even if unexpected situations arose during the campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect, having two powerful Third-rank Top-grade Puppets would ensure a safe retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that the puppet crafting stage is over, and it’s challenging to obtain Third-rank Top-grade Puppet materials in the short term, I should focus more on the quasi-Fourth Rank talisman legacy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ping thought privately about his next steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quasi-Fourth Rank talisman could still offer some combat improvement, since puppets, while strong, have usage limits and cannot be used anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, if he could form a talisman array with quasi-Fourth Rank talismans, its power would surpass even the puppets, potentially reaching real Fourth Rank and Nascent Soul Level effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would undoubtedly enhance his power significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, the ’Wind Night Sword Skill’ must not be neglected either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reminded of this, Xu Ping unhesitatingly brought up the proficiency panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panel clearly displayed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wind Night Sword
