"Senior, I have no ill will towards you. I am just grateful." Lu Yun smiled and said sincerely, "You are so dedicated in protecting the master. I believe that you also desire freedom and don't want to be trapped here forever, right?"

Lu Yun tried to use "freedom" to lure the tree man puppet. After all, for a puppet with the combat power of a high-level Taoist god, the temptation of freedom should be quite great.

However, the tree puppet was not moved at all, and said in a cold tone: "I was created by my master, and protecting my master is my mission. Why do I need freedom?"

Lu Yun was frustrated. This blockhead was really stubborn.

"But..." The tree puppet changed the subject, "My master left a will before his death. If a destined person enters this place, he must be tested. If his character and strength are acceptable, he can inherit my master's things, and I can follow him."

"Oh? I wonder what kind of test it is?" Lu Yun was delighted, it seemed there was still a chance.

"It's very simple. You just need to take my three moves and you will pass the test." said the tree man puppet.

Hearing this, Lu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. With his current strength, although he had only just entered the Dao God realm, his actual combat power had already far surpassed that of his peers, so it should not be difficult for him to take on the three moves of the tree man puppet.

"To be fair, the power of my three moves is roughly equivalent to the attack of a mid-level Taoist god."

The tree puppet added, "If you can't take it, you are not qualified to inherit my master's things."

After saying this, the tree man puppet was about to take action.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yun shook his head. "Senior, my strength is not as simple as that of a beginner Dao God. If you only use the strength of a mid-level Dao God, it seems that you are looking down on me and it also seems that you are not winning fairly. How about this, you just use all your strength. If I can't handle it, I have nothing to say."

Lu Yun's frank attitude made the tree man puppet slightly stunned, and then a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Okay! I appreciate your frankness!" said the tree man puppet. "Even if you can't withstand my full-strength attack later, I will recognize you as my master and follow you."

Lu Yun laughed secretly in his heart, this wooden lump is quite easy to fool.

However, he remained calm on the surface, acting as if he was ready for battle, but in his mind he was thinking about how to deal with the full-strength attack of the tree man puppet.

"Come on!" Lu Yun shouted in a low voice, and the Tianxing Sword hummed. The sword body was shining with colorful light, like a dormant dragon, ready to devour its prey at any time.

The treeman puppet didn't waste any time. Its thick arms, wrapped in violent gusts of wind and mixed with suffocating void pressure, slammed towards Lu Yun.

This attack was incredibly fast, arriving almost in the blink of an eye. Lu Yun could even feel the crackling sound of the air being squeezed and burst.

"So fast!" Lu Yun was shocked. The strength of this tree man puppet was definitely at the top Taoist God level, even infinitely close to the peak Taoist God!

Not daring to delay, Lu Yun immediately mobilized the power of the world. Golden light flowed above his divine body, just like a Vajra Arhat.

At the same time, he madly injected the divine power in his body into the Tianxing Sword and swung the sword to meet the attack.

"clang!"

A deafening sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the valley, and a horrific shock wave swept out, uprooting the surrounding ancient trees and causing rocks to fly everywhere.

Lu Yun only felt a huge force coming, and his body shook, but he still stood firmly in place without taking a step back.

Looking down, the tip of the Tianxing Sword only left a shallow mark on the arm of the tree man puppet.

"Defense at the level of a top-grade Heavenly Dao divine weapon?!" Lu Yun sighed inwardly. This tree man puppet was indeed difficult to deal with!

The treeman puppet also seemed surprised by Lu Yun's performance, and a look of surprise appeared on its wooden face.

"You kid, you just broke through to Dao God, and you already have such fighting power?"

"Thank you!" Lu Yun grinned, "Come again!"

A gleam of competitiveness flashed in the eyes of the tree man puppet. It growled and attacked with its fists again.

This time, it was faster and more powerful, and there were even visible ripples in the air.

Lu Yun was prepared and swung his sword to block again.

This time, he did not use his full strength, he just wanted to test the power limit of the tree man puppet.

"boom!"

There was another loud noise, and Lu Yun was shocked and took a step back, his arm slightly numb.

"Interesting!" Lu Yun's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, "Is this the last move?"

The treeman puppet didn't speak, but its aura suddenly surged.

Suddenly, six more arms appeared on its body, a total of eight arms, like eight dancing giant pythons, attacking Lu Yun at the same time.

"Well done!" Lu Yun shouted. This time, he did not hold back and attacked with all his strength. The power of the world, the power of the divine body, and the power of the sword, the three powers were perfectly integrated and gathered on the Tianxing Sword.

"Sword to kill and destroy!"

As Lu Yun shouted loudly, a brilliant sword light burst out from the Tianxing Sword, and a huge sword energy, like the creation of the world, slashed towards the tree man puppet.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion sounded, and the entire valley shook violently.

The eight arms of the tree man puppet actually blocked Lu Yun's sword energy, but it was also shocked and took two steps back.

"Good boy, in less than a month, you have become so powerful!" The tree man puppet said with a hint of disbelief, "You passed the test!"

Lu Yun was delighted, he knew that he had made the right bet.

The tree puppet slowly walked in front of Lu Yun, opened its mouth, and spit out a seed that emitted a faint green light. On the surface of the seed, Dao patterns flowed, emitting a strong breath of life.

"This is my core. Refine it and you will be my master."

Lu Yun did not hesitate. He immediately mobilized the power of the world, wrapped the seed, and began to refine it.

Almost instantly, Lu Yun established a connection with the tree man puppet, and a feeling of control over life and death arose spontaneously.

"Greetings, master!" The tree man puppet knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Get up." Lu Yun smiled faintly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Amu."

"Amu..." Lu Yun nodded, "From now on, you will follow me."

"Yes, master!" Amu replied respectfully.

Lu Yun looked at the body of Huaji Daoshen, feeling mixed emotions. Although this old man wanted to kill him to take the treasure, to some extent, he was also giving him a chance.

"Amu, come and give me a hand." Lu Yun ordered the puppet tree man.

Upon hearing this, Amu walked to Lu Yun's side with heavy steps, and his eight strong arms hung down, like eight wooden stakes stuck in the ground.

"Move this old guy's body into my cave magic weapon."

Lu Yun pointed at the body of Huaji Daoshen, and patted the Qiankun bag on his waist, "I have specially opened up a fairyland cemetery in this magic weapon to bury those guys who have done me a favor or... um... made 'contributions'."
