force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Ron’s Flowing Shield Wall was not a common defensive technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the impact of the giant’s punch, it formed a special buffer structure, dispersing most of the shock around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Ron felt a sharp pain in his chest, his whole body uncontrollably flying back several meters, nearly crashing into a stone pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this level of attack, though strong, was still within his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dale exclaimed in panic, water elements rapidly condensing at her fingertips, preparing to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her large violet-blue eyes were filled with worry and anger, her small body trembling slightly due to the imminent release of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Dale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s voice was surprisingly calm, his fingers stroking the Stand-In Puppet at his waist, \"I still have my secret weapon to use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time to test your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A portion of consciousness was slowly infused into the Stand-In Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a massive influx of Magic Power, the inconspicuous little puppet immediately reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It quickly expanded, its size growing to that roughly equal to a human within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron could feel part of his consciousness diverging into the puppet, forming a unique dual perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense his own condition while also perceiving the surrounding environment through the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant seemed to sense some kind of threat, its previously calm demeanor becoming wary, its dark blue eyes fixed intensely on the transforming puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ron’s mental control, the puppet’s exterior began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smooth surfaces revealed countless tiny scales, shimmering with a metallic sheen like snakeskin, integrating the Snake Demon traits;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its limbs grew robust and powerful, with clear muscular contours, showcasing the strength of the Scorpion;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tail, full of power, grew from its back, the tip’s stinger radiating a faint purple glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron could sense the innate memories of both the Snake Demon and Scorpion circulating in the puppet’s \"consciousness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those combat techniques and bodily control experiences became resources he could call upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the puppet itself lacked independent will, merely acting as a highly sophisticated tool, completely under Ron’s mental command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dale, step back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron instructed, simultaneously using the Spiritual Link to maneuver the Stand-In Puppet into a combat stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant hesitated not at all, raising its hand with a powerful straight punch aimed directly at the puppet’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch was swift, the air was split, creating a piercing whooshing sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron didn’t instruct the puppet to dodge, but directed it to raise an arm to meet the giant’s fist head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This choice stemmed from his precise calculation of the puppet’s capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From previous experiments, he had confirmed the puppet’s special capacity to absorb Abyssal Material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collision of forces produced a deafening, dull sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shockwave spread from both centers, lifting loose stones from the ground several inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Dale’s astonishment, the Stand-In Puppet not only didn’t get knocked back by the massive force but the black giant’s fist emitted a sizzling noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of contact, the giant’s fist seemed to hit some extremely unstable substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a strange ripple appeared, it began to crumble as though being corroded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black material flaked from the giant’s fist, dripping like ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet these materials didn’t scatter onto the ground, instead being directly absorbed by the puppet’s skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as I anticipated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitement flashed in Ron’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability to absorb Abyssal Energy was indeed one of the most valuable traits of the Stand-In Puppet, and the effect was far more significant than he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, through the link with the puppet, he felt a peculiar energy flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absorbed Abyssal Energy didn’t entirely assimilate into the puppet but underwent some special filtering, retaining only the useful parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process was so similar to what he once envisioned in the \"Melting Furnace Concept!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant seemed to realize the crisis, instantly withdrawing its damaged right hand, while its left turned into a sharp blade to sweep toward the puppet’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, through the Spiritual Link, commanded the puppet to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet’s movements had the incredible flexibility of the Snake Demon and fused with the explosive power of the Scorpion, easily evading the sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While dodging, it used the scorpion’s tail to suddenly thrust forward, aimed straight at the giant’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stinger pierced the black giant’s chest and immediately triggered a series of energy reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant’s body rippled like a lake struck by a massive rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those originally stable black materials began to wobble and separate irregularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep attacking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Ron commanded the Stand-In Puppet to launch a fierce, relentless assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ron’s control, the puppet demonstrated astonishing combat skills:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right fist aimed straight at the giant’s soft ribs, left leg sweeping a trip, scorpion tail shadowing the movements to target vulnerabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each attack is incredibly precise, without any waste, perfectly combining the Snake Demon’s precision strike and the Scorpion’s ferocious power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What satisfies Ron most is that whenever the puppet comes into contact with the black giant, a portion of black energy is absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the giant continuously weakens, while the puppet grows stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another heavy punch, the puppet’s right fist slammed into the black giant’s abdomen like a cannonball, causing a dull thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant staggered backward, a huge void appeared between its chest and abdomen, black energy constantly spilling from the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron unhesitatingly manipulated the puppet to follow up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left leg swept out horizontally, precisely kicking the black giant’s knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the body is composed of energy, it emitted a sound similar to bones fracturing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant’s right leg bent at an incredible angle, the entire body lost balance, leaning to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching this moment, he used a spiritual link to control the puppet with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——like a lion tearing apart prey, fiercely grabbing the sides of the black giant’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claws directly sank into the black giant’s head, then fiercely pulled outward...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack... Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant’s head exploded like fireworks, transforming into countless black fragments scattered in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dale jumped up in delight, her previous worries vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron did not indulge in this brief victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that although the black giant’s body lost its head, it still stubbornly regrouped, attempting to continue fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This regeneration ability is one of the terrifying traits of abyss creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what surprised him even more was the reaction of the stand-in puppet at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After absorbing a large amount of black energy, it autonomously grew a third arm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new arm extended from the right shoulder blade, with a completely different structure from the original arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was covered with dark purple scales all over, fingertips sharp as claws, emitting a faint blue glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is... the puppet adapting and integrating the newly absorbed energy.\" A hint of amazement rose in Ron’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly adjusted his tactics, commanding the third arm to reach forward and penetrate the black giant’s chest, directly grabbing the glowing core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the energy center after the merger of the Shadow Nightmare Hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the core held in hand, the black giant’s body completely lost support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a sand sculpture washed by waves, it quickly collapsed, turning into a pool of black liquid, gathered at the stand-in puppet’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron controlled the stand-in puppet to pick up the core, meanwhile reaching out to touch the pool of black liquid, starting massive energy absorption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As energy continued to be absorbed, the stand-in puppet’s body began undergoing subtle changes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface became smoother, the muscle lines clearer, and the overall silhouette closer to a human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, the third arm completely integrated into the overall structure, as if it was naturally present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... It... is becoming more like a living being.\" Dale said softly, with a hint of unease and curiosity in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, it’s entirely under my control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron reassured, while checking the stand-in puppet’s status through the spiritual link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly perceive a data point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Automatically absorbed active abyssal material, charging progress +5%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current energy: 8%\u002F100%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Energy increased by 5%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron calculated in his mind: \"If in the future we truly explore the Great Abyss, the charging progress should increase very quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>50% charging level is the critical point for the stand-in puppet to unlock the \"two-way interaction\" trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching this level, not only can the puppet fully replicate Ron’s abilities, but Ron can also, to some extent, acquire the traits absorbed by the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I can transfer the stand-in puppet to the Demon Hunter profession...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron calculated in his mind, a slight curve unconsciously forming at the corner of his mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gain all the Demon Hunter’s ability enhancements without bearing any transfer risk and side effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagining that possibility — the extraordinary perception ability, enhanced constitution, toxin resistance, and various specialized skills of the Demon Hunter, all utilized for oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, without having to endure the painful bodily transformation process and long-term side effects, a wave of anticipation arose in Ron’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when facing various mutated creatures or \"Awakened\", the Demon Hunter possesses unique \"demon hunting\" attribute enhancements brought by professional traits, an advantage that other professions cannot replace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his thoughts flowed, the puppet already completed the energy absorption, quietly standing there, awaiting the next command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Ron’s gentle thought, it immediately shrank, returning to its original size, transforming back into an ordinary small puppet, returning to his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, it’s time to deal with the final matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stowed away the stand-in puppet and walked towards the glowing stone pillar at the center of the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface of the stone pillar was filled with ancient runes, emitting a faint blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron used \"Extraordinary Recognition\" to carefully study these runes and discovered they formed a complex teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>",1656,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.888Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","f6cf823bfa2a8eef421890cc882482a964d6d35797204d049feb3983a256e0d9","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-310","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-308",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
