Sam moved at a rapid pace. He landed on one tile after another. Each tile erected a pillar and the space between each tile is very long. The pattern also appeared a bit random. However, all of them are on the left side of the room.

While doing that, Sam also kept his eyes on the petals of the lotuses. By now, he activated around a dozen red pillars in the past three to four minutes.

In that time, nine lotuses had their second petal lit up and the next three are well on their way. He could see their radiance increase with every passing second.

He increased his speed and landed on two more pillars one after the other.

The puppet is still moving around trying to kill him and Sam managed to keep it hooked to him while still dodging all the attacks. Now there is only one pillar left to achieve his desired result. But before he that, he has to lure the puppet in.

So, he stood there on the pillar and waited.

*BAM* *BAM* BAM*

As the lightning bolt were shot at him, he clung to the pillar and moved around it avoiding the attacks. Soon, the puppet is very close to him. It is standing right next to the pillar and extended its hand to hit Sam.

Sam kicked the pillar and jumped away from there.

He landed on a different red pillar on the side. The puppet turned around and ran towards him.

At the last moment, before it could make contact, Sam jumped on to the last red tile.

*GRRRR*

With a loud rumbling sound, the pillar came out of the tile. And the red energy thread was connected to that pillar from the last pillar that Sam activated.

*BUZZ* With a moderately loud buzzing sound, the red pillars all glowed much brighter. The energy dome is created from the pillars within which the puppet has been trapped.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

The puppet hurriedly attacked the barrier with lightning bolts. But there is nothing. Except for the slight ripples on the barrier, it held on really strong. Sam sighed in relief. What he created here is not exactly a very powerful formation.

However, he is confident that it can handle a cultivator who is just a couple of levels higher than him, which means a Peak stage cultivator wouldn't be able to easily escape it. After all, even if it is a basic formation the power of it is almost always proportional to the person who created it.

Unless they are deliberately trying to create something that is lower than their original strength. Of course, here Sam couldn't inject any of his own energy into the pillars.

He has tried it.

However, the energy reserves contained within the pillars are extremely high and he figured it would definitely be enough to block the puppets even if it is a basic formation and it worked.

Just like he wanted it to.

close to him.

A fire ball came at him, which he dodged at the last moment. He got a slightly charred smell from the tip of his hair. It was close.

Sam turned around to look at the puppet and was stunned. He realized why he wasn't able to

sense its approach.

What he saw was a puppet modeled after a serpent. It looked like a real giant serpent except for the metallic structure and the obvious intention to make it known that it is made of metal. If not for that excessive sheen, the intricate detail could easily fool a lot of people. Sam thought what these academies are doing by hiding this level of technique in these hidden traps. He knew what the puppet making and weapon making programs of the Thor academy are like and they are absolute shit compared to the level of finesse he is seeing on these

puppets.

Not just that, this snake puppet despite having such a huge body has been intricately designed to be a stealth weapon. Even though it is directly in front of him, he couldn't sense its presence. He couldn't feel the energy emanating from it. He could smell that giant metal

hunk.

He could hear even the slightest creak as those joints moved.

If it didn't attack with the fire ball and instead chose to slowly bite Sam, it would have had a

better chance to dealing with him.

Sam dodged the snake hurriedly as it came at him.

He didn't hesitate and jumped to an empty tile.

The red pillar came out and a new formation has started. This time, Sam had a much easier

time and his actions are much more decisive. He also used a lot less nodes and made the snake

coil inside a barrier formation.

However, even the golden lotuses also increased their speed. The third petal has been active

for fourteen lotuses already.

It is way too fast and he could guess that it will only become faster.

Sam came back to the golden pillar and started moving pins along the groups.

*CLICK*

A formation was placed and a click was heard.

One of the corners of that surface gave a hissing sound. That is just the first lock. There are

eight more before he could unlock the whole surface. And judging by the network inside, he believed he has to unlock all four before he could stop the lotuses.
