this was his most crucial card, but under the pressure from Helen, he had no choice but to directly use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Puppet Master, he possessed these two special skills which he obtained by completing high-difficulty chain tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Puppet Master, they are practically Divine Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One special skill, [Puppet·Shifting Position], allows him to swap positions with his controlled puppet, which is extremely important for a Puppet Master whose life-saving ability is insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other skill is [Puppet·Enhanced Possession], enabling Zhao Zhao to borrow the strength of special puppets through possession, which to some extent compensates for the Puppet Master’s weak ability in close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magic Puppet controlled by Zhao Zhao was exchanged from the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, and it’s quite powerful among same-rank professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when facing Silver High Rank Helen, Zhao Zhao still had no confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, given the situation, Zhao Zhao couldn’t forsake the chance to compete for the Floating City Guard position, even if the Magic Puppet gets damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the earth-yellow Magic Puppet had completely fused into Zhao Zhao’s body, and he was enveloped by a layer of earth-yellow Magic Light, appearing extremely resilient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the hard-earned chance, Zhao Zhao didn’t hesitate and charged at Helen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhao Zhao controlled the green puppet behind Helen, waving its claws to rush at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Helen was faced with attacks from both front and back by Zhao Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yun and others watched nervously, hoping Zhao Zhao could smoothly pass the examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Helen looked at Zhao Zhao and smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble～\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of sea waves became overwhelmingly intense, crashing against the edge of the stone platform, shattering countless crystal fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the surging waves were like blue hills rising abruptly, dozens of meters high, seemingly engulfing the entire coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant wave, with a thunderous force, slammed down, splashing colossal water blooms, like thousands of soldiers charging by, making a deafening roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of the waves was so strong it seemed to crush everything before them, displaying the ocean’s limitless power and immense momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Zhao looked at the giant wave crashing toward him and Helen, calm in the distance, with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to fight this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the giant wave swallowed Zhao Zhao’s body and the Magic Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge wave initially swept toward the shore, and the crowd onshore prepared to dodge upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen lightly waved her hand, and the giant wave instantly dissipated, returning to sea water and retreating to the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying much, a wave lifted Zhao Zhao and his Magic Puppet from the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Zhao had been directly knocked unconscious by the giant wave, still in a dazed state, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen’s power directly stunned everyone who wanted to challenge her; originally, seeing Helen as a girl and one of only two Silver Rank Professionals, they thought they might try to defeat her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seems they should better count themselves lucky...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis was not surprised by Helen’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen’s talent is [Sea Favored], gaining substantial power when fighting on the sea, and also possessing many special abilities like controlling seawater and underwater breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sea, Helen can even entangle with ordinary Gold Level Professionals for a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against the still Bronze Rank Zhao Zhao, Helen remains dominant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yun felt pity for Zhao Zhao but soon everyone widened their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen controlled the wave to throw Zhao Zhao onto the Hurricane, where he joined the other Gold Rank Professionals who had passed the examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this... passing the examination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yun looked at the unfolding scene with surprise, suddenly feeling confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, after observing the examiners’ strength, Mo Yun thought there was no chance, but Zhao Zhao got Helen’s approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhao Zhao could compete for a place on Floating City, maybe she would have hope too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Zhao passing the examination also excited everyone below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who came here were at least High-level Bronze Professionals, naturally confident they were not inferior to Zhao Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looked at the crowd below, feeling slightly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without commenting on others, truly, the strong among these players in their previous lives were quite exceptional and already began showing some style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others, forget about initiating a comeback against Helen; even withstanding Helen’s first wave of attacks would be very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, for Lis, players were mostly a source of harvesting experience and labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If players break through to Gold Level, their numerical advantage may have some effect on Lis, but currently, players are still far from that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis watched the examination below; under Helen and others’ swift eliminations, it wasn’t long before the final passers were chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially all native strong individuals, nine Gold Level Professionals, and a few Silver Rank Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among players who passed, there were Zhao Zhao, Mo Yun, Si Lu (Embers of the Fire·Thief), Han Xing, Legend’s Beginning, Ma Tajiayang (Kunlun Mage), Dancing Sword Shadow (Kunlun Warrior).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Mo Yun, the streamer, the rest were all professional-level players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s not that other professional players lack interest in Floating City, it’s just too far away.\u003C\u002Fp>",870,"2026-06-03T10:58:47.744Z","2026-06-03T10:58:53.448Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b5c1023ac32b32ccec105b3eb6919407f91b4c4d80c427b54f5357d226db498","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1043","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1041",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
