But when the difficulty level was raised to Level 2, Gu Qiansi started utilising movement techniques as well.
The approach she used to tackle the array was very similar to that of Zhao Yunxiao, and naturally so as well.
The two of them had been challenging the Hundred Puppets Array together for years by now.
All this time, not only had they been watching each other in action, they had also been constantly discussing about possible strategies, trying to come up with the most effective tactics they could employ to tackle the array.
While their talents might not necessarily lie in the same areas, their cultivation levels were the same.

“May I?” Lu Zhiying asked excitedly after having obtained consent from Zhao Yunxiao and Gu Qiansi.
“Well, technically there are no rules barring you from doing so, but are you sure?” Tian Luoyang asked out of concern. “Like Senior Martial Sister Gu mentioned, you can get hurt.”
“It’s okay, I’m used to getting hurt!” Lu Zhiying patted her chest in assurance. “Since there is no problem, let’s start then!”
With that, Lu Zhiying excitedly entered the Hundred Puppets Array, even skipping along as she made her way to the centre.
“Is this really a good idea?” Gu Qiansi asked.
“Some people won’t learn without experiencing a bit of pain,” Zhao Yunxiao shrugged.
Gu Qiansi: “...”
At the same time, Zhao Yunxiao was wondering about something else.
Did Lu Zhiying just say that she was used to getting hurt?
If that was true, just what kind of life had she been leading before joining the Black Tortoise Sect?
“Let’s concentrate on the present,” Gu Qiansi’s words broke him out of his thoughts.
Zhao Yunxiao looked at Gu Qiansi in surprise, at the same time feeling a chill running down his spine.
It seemed that she had picked up on the same thing that he did, and was even to go further and guess his thoughts from there.
Sometimes, he really suspected if this Gu Qiansi had the ability to read minds.
“Junior Martial Brother Tian, please start the array!” Lu Zhiying waved excitedly to Tian Luoyang.
Tian Luoyang shot one last glance over at Zhao Yunxiao and Gu Qiansi.
Only when they nodded back in response did he finally take a deep breath and channelled his essence energy, driving it into the controls.
“Ah, whatever! I’m activating the array, so be careful!” Tian Luoyang cautioned.
The spirit stones along the fence glowed, and the golden emblem of light appeared on the ground once again.
With that, the puppets started moving, and the three watching nervously held their breaths.
All four outer disciples present felt their hearts beating faster, but Lu Zhiying’s was the only one doing so due to excitement.
She started turning her head constantly, making sure that she had full awareness of the positions of the puppets in her surroundings.
Her eyes sharpened and her ears twitched a little.
Her feet tried to feel for every bit of vibration coming from the ground.
At this moment, she was trying to rely on all her senses, not just her sense of sight that she was so used to.
Unlike her seniors, Lu Zhiying did not have the ability to tap on world origin energy or essence energy, which made it far more difficult to sense her surroundings.
However, Lu Zhiying was not intending to let that be her excuse for failing.
“Behind you, watch out!” Gu Qiansi shouted in caution, and Lu Zhiying reacted instantly.
In fact, one could even argue that she moved before Gu Qiansi had shouted.
It was a casual sidestep at the very last moment, easily getting out of the way of a charging rhino puppet.
“Hmm?”
Zhao Yunxiao and Gu Qiansi immediately furrowed their brows.
This movement of Lu Zhiying’s... why did it seem so familiar?
“

“Is that possible?” Gu Qiansi had to suppress a gasp after getting confirmation from Zhao Yunxiao. “What kind of unbelievable learning ability do you need to have in order to replicate something after seeing it just once?”
