Chapter 267
Kakrooom!
With its hands raised, a bolt of lightning with powerful flames swirling around it blasted off from the puppet . The attack landed at a corner in Tang Ling’s office with a loud bang and a flash of blinding light .
Then, to Tang Ling’s shock, the puppet raced forward at a speed far faster than a normal human to land two powerful punches on the wall before it stopped .
Tang Ling was stunned for a second before he responded by walking towards the puppet to pick the puppet up . He glanced over at it before tossing it back on the desk .
The desk was covered in a mess of many magical formations and small body arrays while the carving tools and simulation materials were all over the place . Other than that, he had taken out all four volumes of the book that were scattered across the room with their pages messily flipped open .
Tang Ling’s hair had grown longer and was as messy as a bird’s nest . He scratched his head and recalled the effect as he muttered to himself, “A one-time composite array of lightning and fire…Hmm, I finally can stabilize the success rate at 91% .
“A one-time basic speed and body array strength yield a 100% success rate, but that’s crafted with simulation materials, so the effect evaluation must be lower . There’s nothing I can do left since I’ve learned everything here . ”
After that, he washed his face with cold water in the bathroom and soon felt refreshed . He then finally took the two boxes of valuable real materials from the rack .
After a month in this room, Tang Ling had mastered the basics of body array . Furthermore, he even invented a simple composite body array, the Lightning Fire Array . He developed this body array based on the real materials that were left in the House of Legacy .
There were two boxes of real materials: one contained the materials for basic body arrays while the other one had materials for entry-level fire and lightning elemental body arrays .
Tang Ling ought to utilize the materials as much as he could, so he said, “Let’s start!” He picked up the array pen, his gaze a little out of focus . In order to make use of all the possible time, he had compressed his sleeping time to a minimum in the past month .
Especially after he completed the basic body arraynology, and in order to invent the first composite body array, he buried himself in research for four continuous days without any sleep . Despite his physique, he was reaching his limit .
Tang Ling had no idea what had been happening in the outside world for the past month, but the fact that the third-level formation could be deciphered by someone else pushed him forward . It pressured him constantly like a cuffing spell . He wanted to get out as soon as possible, but he only had one set of real materials at his disposal . In such an exhausted condition, he did not dare simply use them .

After learning the basic body arraynology, Tang Ling knew that the materials required to craft a body array were precious . Even the most common entry-level body array required the blood of at least a Level 2 vicious beast, and not just any blood as it must be the marrow from the spine which must be kept fresh with a special method . Therefore, it was understandable why the House of Legacy provided him with only three sets of real materials .
“Let’s take a break, an hour tops . ” He decided to rest, so he simply slumped onto the floor, and in less than a few seconds, his breath became drawn out and steady .
…
“Do you think these black mantle monsters can take me down?” A cruel smile hung across Draconic Seven’s face . With a single kick, one of Ro Li’s puppets was sent flying away and he got closer to Ro Li and Ro Xin .
With the steps Colo provided, Draconic Seven finally entered the House of Legacy and because he cleared it with a perfect solution, he was able to bring the others along . He brought four of his best men, plus Colo, into the house . Five was the maximum number of people that he could bring with him .
From the moment he got into the House of Legacy, excitement rose to the peak, the price he paid in the past money to get into his place was all worth it .
He was much more knowledgeable than the siblings . The moment he came in, he spotted several great items that could only be found by luck in the outside world, like the Level 4 vicious beast bone, and not just any bone, it was the essence of the bone from a talent-type vicious beast .
There were also several vicious plants which essences had been preserved .
What shocked him the most was a Level 7 vicious beast pelt and everything else was scattered across the house . What if he were to sweep this place clean? What would he find then? The place was messy and probably filled with treasures .
On top of all that, there was a big Universal Source Rock in the center, and it was a class-2 purity rock! There was also an artificial brain and something else inside . These two must be the real treasures!
Draconic Seven was concerned about the projection in the rock as well, and judging from the looks of it, the projection was the key to the House of Legacy . He was overwhelmed with eagerness, but the siblings were in his way and where was Tang Ling?
Draconic Seven was not a reckless person, so he was not in a hurry to attack the siblings the moment he stepped in . He wanted his men to test whether or not they were allowed to fight or even kill in this place .

To his surprise, the fire of grudge was set ablaze by Ro Li’s explosive reaction . He started the attack with his puppets as Ro Xin failed to stop him .
Ro Li was not the brainiest person . He believed that after mastering control over level-1 puppets and since Draconic Seven only brought a few men inside, he would be able to put up a fight, so he attacked without much thought .
Ro Xin originally wanted to use the element of surprise to deceive Draconic Seven and buy more time or even frighten him, but her plan was ruined in the cradle by her brother .
The facts slapped Ro Li in the face right after the fight broke out . He had completely underestimated Draconic Seven . Without being concerned about wasting the lives of his men and the possibility of an ambush from Tang Ling, the puppets could only slow Draconic Seven down a little and were not a threat to him at all .
Moreover, Draconic Seven had four men that he trusted with him, and every one of them could rival the puppets or even pin them down .
If Ro Li had not mastered the art of control, he would have lost to Draconic Seven three minutes after the fight started .
Bang!
Draconic Seven punched another puppet that hooked his leg while his scarlet red tongue licked his lips . He was less than five meters away from the siblings . Despite Ro Li trying his best to command the puppets as Ro Xin pulled him away to avoid the attacks, the gap in their strength was something quick wits could not compensate for .
“Do you want to surrender or die? But since I’ve given you the chance to surrender a month ago and you wasted it, I guess you’ll have to die . ” Draconic Seven raised his hand and attempted to grab Ro Xin .
Barely dodging the grab, her eyes glanced at Tang Ling’s House of Legacy . She forced herself to calm down and said, “Do you think you can kill as you wish in here? There are rules in here, like this…”
As Ro Xin voiced her warning, she reached out for a random vicious plant material and a bolt of lightning struck beside her feet without a sign .
“Just touching the things made the lightning strike . If I touch it again, the lightning won’t miss me next time . If you kill us, a worse punishment will befall you and the owner of his place will deliver the punishment himself,” Ro Xin uttered as quickly as possible .
Ro Li clenched his teeth tightly and held on, he realized his mistake and once again, he put his little sister in a tough spot .
“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Draconic Seven raised a doubtful brow with a sinister grin . He stomped on the floor and seven to eight enormous snake cyclones sprung out from the ground, swirling Ro Li’s puppets and throwing them towards the ceiling before they tumbled down .
Starting from day one, Draconic Seven had never displayed his talent ability before and this was the first since his appearance . He possessed double talents: wind element talent plus an organic talent related to snakes . The enormous snake cyclones were the combination of his talents .
He was already able to combine his talents, meaning that he had mastered his talent ability to an astounding level .
He was not even a Purple Moon Warrior and looked no older than 20 years old . Usually, talents would only start showing at his age, yet Draconic Seven had already…
What kind of genius was he?
Ro Xin took a deep breath when she finally realized how terrifying her enemy was and how outmatched they were . Still, would she submit just because she was scared? Never!
After sending the puppets away with his cyclones, Draconic Seven sped forward and tried to grab Ro Li, but Ro Xin saw it coming and dragged her brother behind her . As a result, she clashed with Draconic Seven’s hand instead .
A mouthful of blood spewed out from her following the clash .
The gap between her and Draconic Seven was too far apart . He just had to grab her, but Ro Xin was not able to resist the assault .
Despite the painful clash, she wiped the blood away from her mouth and stood in front of Draconic Seven . “Whatever! I don’t need to fight back . You’ll suffer the consequences if you kill me . The owner’s projection is right there . You can ask him if you don’t believe me . See whether you’ll be punished if you kill me!”
In a reverse position, Draconic Seven’s hand froze in the air after she said that and he began to hesitate .
Ro Li clenched his teeth tighter . Once again, his sister had suffered because of him and a wild thought started to brew in his mind .
Suddenly, Draconic Seven chuckled like the devil . “Don’t worry . I’ll make my men test your words, but before that, I’ll have to seize the two of you . I’m quite interested in how that big doofus controls the black mantle monsters!”
