Shen Yu was waiting for the king to rise from his throne, but it seemed he was mistaken. He needed to fight the ten golden statues first and maybe then the king himself would fight.
He looked back at the statues, who was slowly making their way towards him and smirked.
"This hall would be too small for Tier 8 battle. Nancy, expand it!"
[Roger!]
The golden hall suddenly began to melt as if something with high temperature was placed inside. Solid walls turned into liquid gold. The hall slowly lost it's lustrous interior.
But it wasn't the end as the world suddenly exploded into myriads of illumination as a final product finally revealed itself before Shen Yu.
The golden hall was the same in looks but the size was different. Spanning over tens kilometres, the hall turned into a giant city in itself.
Shen Yu whistled and commented.
"Now, this is some handy work. Good job, Nancy."
[Hmph! It's not like I did this for you so don't be so full of yourself.]
Shen Yu's smile stiffened as he controlled his urge to go and spank the naughty system. He rubbed the bride of his nose and muttered.
"Tsundere? Really?"
[You don't like them?]
"I never said that."
He shook his head and focused his attention back to the golden statues. By now, they were practically standing in front of him, towering over him like giants of myths.
He clicked his tongue, rolling down Sword Statue, avoiding a heavy impact from the Golden hammer. He looked back and saw cracks on the floor, which surprised him..
[They are really powerful even for a Tier 8 puppet. It's as if they grow adaptive to people they fight.]
Shen jumped around the battle, dodging attacks that could have obliterated whole cities, killing hundreds of thousands of people.
This was the power of Tier 8. Just a random strike from them was enough to flatten whole cities.
The only reason the hall was intact and they couldn't see the aftermath of their clash was the Rune Formation. Without it, the whole Senter Valley might have collapsed by now.
Although it looked easy, Shen Yu was running around at sonic speed, dodging the attacks and often dealing some damage to the Golden Statues.
He could have finished them in one go but he was having his fun and also testing them. They were good practice dummies so he could take them back to the Sect.
Dodging another saber coming at him, he ducked down and gave a roundhouse kick to one of the Golden Statues, shattering it's legs into pieces.
Debirs flew around as the Golden Statue toppled down, unable to stand. Still, it seemed to have only order and was going to follow through it as it raised its saved and cleaved it towards Shen Yu.
Shen Yu looked back the sword incoming at him and then at the saber. Then, he clenched his fist, gathering all of his strength, making his muscles bulge out.
"Haha! Take this!"
Laughing, he punched the sword, stopping it a meter away from him. Then, as if a glass shattered, the sword cracked in many places before crumbling down like a sand house.
He didn't stop at that as he knew a saber was behind him. So, he spun on his pivot and gave a solid kick to the golden saber. Since it wasn't being held in a proper stance and simply charged forward, it held no force. The moment the kick connected, it sent the saber hurling away like a broken kite.
Shen Yu cracked his neck and was ready to fight more when a aged voice sounded.
"Rise!!"
His eyes lit up as he looked at the Golden Statues regenerating at an insane rate. Now, the real show was beginning.
