Chapter 1139: Chapter 463 Stone Puppet Chapter 1139: Chapter 463 Stone Puppet When Wang Tao returned from the research institute, Li Qiuyu had already awakened. Ding Yuqin and the others were gathered around, chattering about something.

Before, the hidden attributes Li Qiuyu had received was [Land Affinity], similar to perception ability. This ability was quite good, especially in this snowy, icy condition, much more useful than Wang Tao’s previous [Plant Affinity].

Wang Tao was also looking forward to what Li Qiuyu’s awakening would be like.

“Wang Tao! I’ve awakened!”

Seeing Wang Tao return, Li Qiuyu ran up to him excitedly.

Wang Tao smiled and looked at Li Qiuyu’s attributes.

[HP: 20000/20000]
[Mana: 32000/32000]
[Level: Level 4]
[Internal Impurity: 2%]
[Awakening: Stone Golem]
[Stone Golem: Uses Earth elements to condense into a puppet]
“Huh?” Seeing this awakening, Wang Tao was very surprised. “Have you used the awakening yet?”

“Not yet. I was waiting for you to return because I feel I can only use it once in a short time…”

Li Qiuyu said somewhat sheepishly.

“Only once, that means it consumes 100 Awakening Energy… Try using it once, I want to see.”

Wang Tao was still very excited about her awakening, as this was the first time he had seen an awakening that could summon a fighter.

“Okay!”

Li Qiuyu responded, then went to the courtyard and waved at the snowy ground.

Everyone clearly saw the snow on the ground begin to tremble, and a huge, gray… stone lump slowly straightened up!

“Wow!”

Many people were seeing this for the first time and instinctively exclaimed.

Looking at this three-meter tall, gray-stone humanoid creature, Wang Tao was quite amazed.

[HP: 100000/100000]
[Level: Level 4]
This Stone Golem had a blood bar, a total of 100,000 HP, which wasn’t much, just the threshold for Level 4. Everyone in Wang Tao’s team had higher HP than this. Moreover, it had no mana bar, indicating that it probably had no abilities.

It had a level but only showed Level 4 and did not indicate “Ordinary, Elite, Lord” or anything, meaning its level was probably similar to humans, or accurately speaking, similar to Li Qiuyu who had summoned it…

Just looking at these attributes, Wang Tao thought the Stone Golem seemed quite ordinary.

But appearances can be deceiving because the Stone Golem still felt very solid to Wang Tao.

“I can control it with my thoughts…”

Without any apparent movement from Li Qiuyu, the large stone Golem began moving around the yard, clearing snow, and even dancing.

Everyone curiously crowded around, touching it here and there.

Wang Tao reached out and touched it; it was very hard, extremely coarse, and very cold… indeed the texture of stone.

The Stone Golem showed no resistance to everyone’s touches, and even when Li Qiuyu left it to move freely, it did not exhibit any emotions.

Wang Tao felt that it was somewhat like a “biological weapon.” It might have consciousness, but a very weak one, barely qualifying as a… stone life?

Wang Tao suddenly thought, Qu Shilin had returned a bit early. If he let her see this Stone Golem, she might be happy for a long time.

“Let’s test its combat strength.”

Wang Tao couldn’t figure out anything else for the moment and could only see its combat capabilities.

Summoning such a thing was definitely not for cleaning; combat was its primary function.

And a combat test was quite simple, just find someone to spar with the Stone Golem.

“I’m okay!”

Li Qiuyu spoke with a slightly tired expression.

She had a total of 100 Awakening Energy, and using it all at once made her feel somewhat weary.

Wang Tao immediately gave her some Awakening Crystal Cores to use, and as her Awakening Energy increased, her complexion gradually improved.

“Let me do it! I’ll fight the Stone Golem!”

Xiang Hongbin eagerly stepped forward.

Wang Tao and the group stepped aside, making room for Xiang Hongbin and the Stone Golem. After confirming that Li Qiuyu and Xiang Hongbin were both fine, Wang Tao nodded,
“Begin.”

Since this was a mere sparring session, not a fight to the death, Xiang Hongbin didn’t charge in immediately; he let the Stone Golem attack first.

Li Qiuyu told everyone that the Stone Golem could freely attack upon command or be entirely controlled by Li Qiuyu.

Although Li Qiuyu was no longer her former self, her combat power and experience certainly couldn’t match Xiang Hongbin’s, so she decided not to control it herself and let the Stone Golem act freely.

The Stone Golem’s small eyes emitted a faint yellow glow, and then it strode towards Xiang Hongbin.

Thud, thud…

Initially, Xiang Hongbin didn’t think the Stone Golem was very strong, just probably quite tough. However, as it walked towards him, Xiang Hongbin suddenly felt a slight pressure.

This brightened Xiang Hongbin’s eyes. The combat state of the Stone Golem was different from before, and this was exactly what he wanted!

Whoosh–
The Stone Golem raised its arm and threw a punch at Xiang Hongbin.

The punch was straightforward, and with Xiang Hongbin’s speed, he could easily dodge it. But to test the Golem’s strength, he chose to take the blow.

Xiang Hongbin’s mechanical arm collided with the Stone Golem’s stone arm.

Bang–
Pfft!

Everyone clearly saw, Xiang Hongbin was directly smashed a bit shorter by the Golem’s huge fist!
