As the spirit stone was placed, the metallic color of the puppet's body began to change instantly.
The metallic skin immediately turned flesh-colored, and then it was clad in modern attire.
Finally, it opened its eyes.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the puppet's appearance bore a seven-to-eight-tenths resemblance to Qi Tian.
"Not bad, not bad. The previous energy transmission method led to too low spiritual power utilization, and its movements during combat were too formulaic. After injecting Lin Xiao and Ye Chen's data, it looks good." Qi Tian stared at the puppet's appearance, most satisfied with its face.
It was too similar to his own perfect face.
Of course, since his own face was perfect, even he couldn't achieve an exact replica.
Perfection could not be replicated.
"Move around a bit."
At his command, the puppet began to move.
Every movement was incredibly fluid, just like a human. Moreover, the puppet seemed to be practicing martial arts.
This set of fist techniques was not particularly profound, bearing some resemblance to Luohan Quan. However, its movements were powerful and vigorous, with each move imbued with dense spiritual power.
"Ming Xin peak, not bad."
Qi Tian was reasonably satisfied with the current situation.
He had previously experimented with methods of combined fusion. However, he discovered that while fusion would instantly increase power tenfold or more, the movements of the first batch of androids after fusion were generally stiff. Furthermore, the second batch of modified humans consumed more than five times the energy after fusion. Neither method had fully satisfied him.
Therefore, he conceived of refining individual units first, increasing their spiritual power utilization, and then, through mass production, ensuring all puppets were cast from the same mold. As long as the individual spiritual power utilization was sufficiently high, after fusion, not only would their strength increase, but their spiritual power utilization would also be enhanced.
"Go."
Qi Tian gave the order, and the puppet vanished.
It went to find Lin Xiao for an experiment.
Inside his room, he activated the projection. The ultra-high-definition, high-speed camera drones he had already deployed were in position, eagerly awaiting a battle between Lin Xiao and his nearly perfect creation that would shake the heavens and shock the earth.
Would this be the most grand confrontation in the mortal world in recent years?
Perhaps not. A few years prior, there was an incident where quite a few alien races came to Long Country seeking death. Many individuals who had reached the Divine Realm had appeared then.
He was still young then and only watched some of the broadcast. His father had mentioned at the time that if he had been a bit stronger, he would have intervened personally.
Alas, those individuals were too weak. A few outer disciples from the Piaomian Immortal Palace had resolved everything.
The Lin family was the descendant of the strongest among those outer disciples.
Today, it would be fitting to see how this descendant of the Lin family, whom even his father had praised, fared.
...
Upon returning home, Lin Xiao felt as if he were being targeted by something.
Could it be that guy again...
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. If Qi Tian showed himself again this time, he would absolutely not let him escape.
"What's wrong, Brother Xiao?"
Ye Chen, while carrying New Year's goods, noticed Lin Xiao suddenly stop.
