DDR Hardmode Puppet!

Yue Yang smiled as he finished making the last of the Overlord Oncoming Pills with the ingredients he had available. With the 37 pills he could form a relatively powerful force within the Soaring Dragon Continent. With the added bonus that they wouldn't be to weak after consuming the 'Mortal Growth' pill series from the Braveman Charging, Hero Reaching, Champion Chasing, Grandmaster Rising, Elder Understanding, Overlords Oncoming, Emperors Enthronement, Sages Enlightenment. So long as those eight pills were taken the individual could become a fairly strong Beginner Sage, though Yue Yang only had the pills to make 15 Overlords with decent strength at the moment.

Deciding to leave that idea until he could find the pill recipes, he focused his thought onto the training puppet he was in the middle of creating. Yue Yang had only finished the platform the night before after working on the Runes for more than a week. Each half a square meter tile in the fifteen square meter platform was black, but could change to six different colors. If a color was called before hand and that color tile was stepped on it would light up brightly. He was really satisfied with it, because he could use to as a game for Bing'er and eventually Shuang'er to practice movement techniques, dodging and situational awareness. They would likely complain at him once he added the 6 colored floating balls that they would have to dodge or hit away. They would definitely beat him if he tried to have them take on level 7s three dimensional platforms. He smiled happily at his half complete puppet before starting on the first set of six colored orbs, he wanted ten sets but a single set would be enough at the start to have Bing'er train. After all in another 3 years she would obtain her grimoire and begin going to the Jiangnan Academy.

As Yue Yang began constructing the puppet spheres so that they could float but wouldn't have any attack power, a Rune combination stolen from the quintet seeking golden mice, along with the Connection Ancient Rune, also stolen. All his free time in the month before the New Years tournament was spent working on the spheres. This was of course when he wasn't sexually harassing Ah Xian under the guise of childish innocence, or playing with Bing'er.

He was looking forward to going back to the clan castle again for another reason too. He had already given both his first and second aunts the Pearl bracelets and had already had Yue Shan, Tian, Yan and Bao turned into impotents. The only reason second uncle wasn't included in that list was because Feng'er hadn't been born yet. He wasn't cruel enough to prevent a child who didn't understand bullying was wrong in the original from being born. Yue Ting and Feng were the only males in his and the previous generation that would be able to call themselves real men in the future. As for how he managed to slip the impotence poison to them? Two were idiots and the other wouldn't question his own wife pouring alcohol for him, a wife who was pouring a special alcohol prepared by Yue Yang. He had said it was a secret present for his first uncle and under the effects of the bracelet she didn't even consider that it might be harmful even after she was told that she shouldn't drink it.

It took him more than a week to finish one set of six colored orbs and after he displayed his creation and how to use it to Ah Xian and Bing'er they were astonished. Yue Yang helped her to 'play' with her new toy while Ah Xian just kept going on about how a genius like him should have contracted a grimoire already. He managed to get her mind away from those thoughts by preparing and serving her tea and reciting poems he had learned and wrote for her amusement. Yue Yang had already acquired the puppet encyclopedia two years ago and had dumbfounded them with his quick learning and application of puppet creation. The rumors of him being a combat arts and puppet creation genius had already spread. So even though he hadn't officially contracted a grimoire yet, many people considered him one of the top geniuses of his generation.

He spent a whole day playing with Bing'er on the new puppet before taking off to make more six colored orbs. The time for the tournament had come around again and he would be facing Yue Tian and Yan who had contracted grimoires and were feeling superior to him. Such a result tickled his sadistic heart, but he didn't let it show. After all the good and honest impression he had built up among his clan mates couldn't be allowed to crumble until after he had become an innate. With his future power and abilities, why would he care what a small Yue Clan thought of him. Well in the free days before the matches he made sure to take small advantages of his aunts and Yu'er. Perhaps because her husband hadn't rented to her recently, for unknown reasons, first aunt Yun Xiao was especially effected by his inherent skill Lust and reacted to his 'childish actions' more than the others. He could almost see the need in her eyes and cursed his body that had yet to go through puberty. Thankfully he had put in a suggestion in the bracelet that would hopefully prevent her from seeking another mans comfort. It would of course not work forever if she got too needy. Yue Yang decided that after he had the ten sets of six colored orbs his next project would be to charge up his prepubescent bodies sex drive. As for tournament preparations? He could wipe out everyone participating with just the advanced spear techniques and barely showing the strength of an advanced apprentice, so why would he need to prepare? Well he could bring out a high level Bronze puppet just to show off, but he didn't feel the need too.
