Winter.
There was a snowstorm outside. Although it did not turn the world into a vast expanse of white, it still took up most of the colors in the world, making the world a little monotonous.
Inside a luxurious mansion, the atmosphere is quite lively, unlike the cold outside.
At this time, many people wearing kimonos gathered in a dojo-like place and stood around, leaving a large space in the middle.
Gathered around such a place, these people were talking in low voices while looking attentively at the two teenagers in the field.
They were two people of similar age. At a glance, one could see that one of them was older, while the other looked more immature. They were both wearing kimonos, and around them were puppets with no facial features, standing opposite each other. .
The man named Akabane Soukan had a straight face, sitting cross-legged at the head of the table, watching the scene from a distance. After a while, he nodded towards a person who looked like a host.
The other party immediately understood, stepped forward, came between the two teenagers, and raised his hands.
"The puppet drill between Akabane Tenquan-sama and Akabane Narukami-sama begins now, both sides pay tribute."
Hearing this, the young men named Akabane Tenquan and Akabane Narukami took a step forward at the same time.
The temperaments of these two teenagers are also completely different. One looks majestic and calm, and the other looks lazy and childish, forming two very sharp contrasts.
However, everyone present looked at these two teenagers with completely different styles, and there was only one emotion in their eyes.
That's respect.
Under this gaze, the two began to salute each other.
Immediately, surging magic power surged out of the two of them.
"Buzz!"
With a slight buzz in the air, the magic turned into pure power, acting on the puppets around them.
The next second, the outlines of these puppets flashed with a faint light, making these pure wooden products start to move.
The number is six.
Of course, this is only the number of puppets that are moving. There are twenty puppets standing next to the two teenagers, ten on each side. Now only three of them are moving.
These six puppets seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and they seemed to have gained life, running forward.
Immediately afterwards, these six puppets started a fierce battle.
That was definitely a fierce enough battle.
Six puppets were mixed together. Although they had no weapons in their hands, they all moved like soldiers who had undergone rigorous training. Even if the fists and kicks displayed could not be called Kung Fu, they could still be called Kung Fu. Above all, they were fighting with technique and in an orderly manner.
Moreover, it was not just three one-on-one battles.
Sometimes, some puppets will suddenly abandon the enemy in front of them, run towards the puppet next to them with their back exposed, and launch an attack.
Sometimes, some puppets will jump up, exchange places with the puppets behind them, and join forces to fight against the enemy.
Sometimes, some puppets will block all the puppets on the opposite side by themselves, allowing the other two puppets to escape and take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Sometimes, the three puppets would even form an extremely mysterious formation, making their coordination and positioning appear extremely powerful, their combat power suddenly increasing, and showing an astonishing suppression power.
The group battle was so exquisite that it was impossible to believe that this was something a puppet made of wood could do.
In fact, this is certainly not easy to do.
If it weren't for the manipulation of the two teenagers behind each other, this scene would not have been possible.
The magic power of the two young men was squandered wantonly, and the brilliance kept rolling up and flashing around them.
The two of them were also looking at each other, with a hint of smile on their faces.
After a while, the calm young man spoke first.
"You've made progress again, Narukami. Compared to last time, your telekinesis is even more pure."
The young man named Akabane Tenquan expressed his praise to the other party like a gentle older brother.
In response, the lazy and childish boy couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Brother Tian, are you mocking me?"
The boy who was given the name Akabane Narukami said this angrily.
"Even if my has improved a lot, it's still just the first step. The coordination between the puppets and the unmistakable formation you just showed are clearly something that can only be achieved by the Right? That’s the sixth step, right?”
It can be seen from the words that compared to the things on the first ladder, this sixth ladder is undoubtedly more superb.
In response, Akabane Tianquan shook his head.
"The so-called ladder only refers to difficulty and height, not strength. and are two completely different technologies. We cannot distinguish strength from weakness in this way."
These words made the young man named Akabane Narukami nod his head with deep approval and reveal a sly smile.
"Brother Tian is right. In order to prove that what Brother Tian said is true, I will increase the intensity of and see if your can keep up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic power in Akabane Narukami rose up and turned into pure power again, acting on the puppets around him.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining seven puppets started to move and joined the battle.
"Actually controlling ten bodies?"
The people around were somewhat commotion.
You know, the more puppets you control, the more magic power you need to consume, and the difficulty of manipulation will increase exponentially. It is not that easy to do.
But Akabane Narukami did it easily and even let him join the battle.
"Good guy, you actually hid something, so I won't hide my clumsiness anymore."
Akabane Tianquan couldn't help but smile, and actually sent out a large amount of magic power to control the remaining seven puppets around him, allowing them to join the battle.
As a result, a total of twenty puppets completely occupied the entire dojo, and a more intense battle began, causing the sounds of wood and wood to collide with each other one after another, resounding throughout the entire place.
Seeing this scene, although Akabane Kongkan, who was sitting in the front seat, said nothing, his eyes showed satisfaction, with a hint of pride.
After a while, Akabane Sokan raised his hand.
"That's it."
With one sentence, the voices resounding throughout the whole place stopped.
The twenty puppets intertwined in the field also stopped at the same time, and under the pull of magic power, they returned to the two Akabane brothers.
Seeing this exquisite manipulation, the people around finally started to make a noise.
"You are truly worthy of Master Tianquan and Master Naruken."
"The Tendo and Prodigy of our Akabane clan are indeed worthy of their titles."
"Miss Nadeshiko is not bad either. Although she is not as good as Master Tianquan and Master Narukami, she is at least a genius enough to be recorded in the history of our clan."
"Compared with the two young masters and young ladies, Master Lei Zhen is just..."
Such sounds kept ringing, which slightly changed the lively atmosphere in the air, and also cast a haze in the eyes of Akabane Sokan, who was in the first place.
Akabane Tianquan lowered his head, looking vaguely worried.
On the other hand, Akabane Narukami, or rather Luo Zhen, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this situation.
