Sparks flew as Feng's blades clashed with the almost immortal and impervious body of the Speed Puppet General, they had fought for more than one hour, and Eshu could only watch the two as they fought, although he had incredible memories and powers from his past life, he had to wait for some miracle fight to happen in order to awaken them, so at this stage, he was simply not their match.
The living puppet was passive most of the time and didn't strike back unless the attack from Feng was extremely dangerous, his body took the damage, and the longer they fought, the more his speed would increase, Feng noticed this and had already donned the metallic boots of Proteus's armour, and combined with his demonic upgraded pair magic leather boots (The one which Damon gave him) he was able to keep up with the general's speed.
'This is taking too long, I need to end this. If Torch were here, this guy would have died already, he's the only one who can pull off that amount of damage which stops this metallic flesh can from regenerating' Feng thought, his teeth clenched and his arms tired due to the continuous assault from both blades.
The two fought more rounds, and just as his arms were about to give in, he heard an oddly familiar voice.
"Ok guys, now let's activate the formation!"
The familiar voice was followed by a number of responses saying the same thing.
"Activate! Shameless Divinity Formation!"
Hearing this, the two combatants couldn't help but stop, Feng now realized the owner of the voice from the statement of activation.
He yelled out with his eyes twitching in annoyance, "Long Hu!"
Long Hu let out a small laugh and greeted Feng, "Hehe, long time no see Lin Feng, I see you've powered up a little, but so have I. Show him the power of my Shameless Divinity Formation!"
"Right!"
Saying this, a white light appeared in the area, and a sound of choking was heard, Feng looked to his side and saw the general bleeding from his seven orifices.
He gave out a yelp of surprise and yelled towards Long Hu, who now showed himself.
"Long Hu, you bastard! What did you do, didn't you know he was my prey?!"
"Hoho, I see you've already taken your first step into the Dao of Shamelessness,"
Feng was confused for a second before replying.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You clearly can't beat that piece of flesh covered in metal, yet you say I took your kill; this is clearly the appearance of the Dao of Shamelessness on your body! I feel so proud of you for taking that first step,"
". . ."
Lin Feng was speechless for a while before replying Long Hu bluntly.
"Can you please stop talking like you're some elderly master, it sickens me."
". . ."
No response met his statement.
The choking noises stopped, and Feng focused his attention on the living puppet again. The being seemed somewhat disheveled, but this feature was swiftly taken away as it regenerated itself.
"I have to admit, this is an interesting experience for me. Even before I became a puppet, I have never encountered someone who trained in the Dao of shamelessness, I was told that they were very glorious existences," The hoarse voice of the speed puppet general spoke out, his words glorifying Long Hu and his mercenary guild.
These particular words made Feng spit out blood. This thing made shamelessness seem like a very good and powerful thing.
"Argh Enough talking! This fight isn't over yet."
Although Feng said this, he couldn't deny the fact that he was worn out.
Ust then Damon's voice was heard
[The solution to your problem is very simple, the reason you feel so tired is because of your human attribute, why don't you take that away from the equation and replace it with Proteus's mechanical attribute?]
"Elaborate,"
[Well, you see, all along you kept on cladding your legs with proteus's armor and upgrading it with the demon mark, that is dumb and there are easier ways to becoming faster than you were when you did that. And what I meant when I spoke earlier is also very simple, Proteus was designed with the ability to switch body parts with yours. That is what I mean by taking away your human attribute. You see what I mean now, you've done it before so I won't elaborate.
After you've done this, you can use a demonic upgrade and spiritual energy simultaneously, note that aside from increasing soul strength spiritual energy can be used for a plethora of things, which include increasing the body's attributes, those who do this are referred to as spiritual pugilists. So this is a very basic rundown on how to increase your strength.]
After saying this, the half-body went back to typing and Feng carefully thought over everything Damon said, and began to execute the instructions.
'Proteus, how do I switch bodies with you?'
{Feng really has a bad memory, just activate my control panel.}
'And how do I do that?'
{...}
A silence was met with his statement and a holographic screen appeared in his mind, it contained many features which Feng never knew Proteus had, and abilities he could perform.
'You have spirit cannons!!'
{Feature I installed onto myself after absorbing spiritual energy bit-by-bit}
"If he could get spirit cannons, I wonder if I can make the spirit gun ability," Feng mutters to himself. As he spoke, he subconsciously lifted his hand that was shaped like a gun towards the puppet general and concentrated all his spiritual energy into it, a bloody red light appeared at the tip of the finger that was supposed to be the muzzle of the gun, the red light had an eerie glow to it and the power which was concentrated into it seemed like an endless amount.
With a flick of his finger gun, and a violent recoil after, the red spirit energy rushed towards the shocked living puppet.
Feng, who was still in his experimental state, only noticed after the fellow fell to the ground.
"Eh! Why so weak? Just a random attack pushed him to this state, I truly overestimated him."
From this display of shamelessness, even Long Hu couldn't help but inwardly praise Feng. But unluckily for Feng, the speed puppet general still hadn't "died" yet, and had regenerated; the red runes on its leg glowing brighter, and a sword formed out of his arm.
With the speed of lightning, the sword arm pierced towards Feng, who bragged, and the sound of flesh being pierced was heard.
Puchi!
A golden silver blade could be seen lodged into the area of Feng's lungs.
Could this be the end?
