After the first round of palace examinations, the ranking list was reduced to twenty-three.
And the ranking status has changed significantly.
In the past, the Golden Elixir monks directly occupied the first half of the list, but now the monks are mixed with each other, and the Qi refining stage, the Foundation building stage, and the Golden Elixir stage are in chaos.
Of course, Jindan monks have the largest number of people, accounting for more than half of the entire list.
From this point of view, the Jindan monks are the protagonists of the palace examination, and the other monks in the foundation building stage and Qi refining stage are completely accompanying them.
Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed, and he saw the hope of lifting the surveillance measures.
At this time, another piece of new information was conveyed.
It is an introduction to the second round of the palace examination.
To put it simply, the second round of the palace examination will take the form of a ranking match, so that every monk can have a relatively fair competition with each other.
After this message was conveyed, the ground in the square in front of the temple began to shake.
Then, the floor tiles were sorted, swallowing up all the cases, and then spitting out ten circular arenas.
When these arenas are completely revealed, the floor tiles are closed again to form a tight and neat floor.
The teleportation aperture appears around everyone again.
Many monks stepped forward and quickly stepped into the circle of light. They were racing against time to prepare for the second round of the palace examination.
There were also monks who failed the exam and couldn't let go. As a result, they were suddenly unable to move. Then the teleportation aperture around them actively expanded, swallowing them up and forcibly teleporting them out.
After Ning Zhuo stepped out of the teleportation circle, he returned to his temporary residence.
He quickly ran out of the house, entered the next door, met Ning and submitted.
"Old Ancestor," Ning Zhuo said, "The second round of palace examinations will follow, and the competition will inevitably become more intense. However, there are hidden dangers in me, and I may be assassinated."
Ning Fan stroked his beard and understood what Ning Zhuo meant.
What Ning Zhuo was referring to was the various monitoring methods planted on him by a group of Golden Core monks.
Ning Zhuo told Ning Yifan that he used to think that these monitoring methods were his talisman. Now that the situation has changed to this point, do these monitoring methods have a back-up to control?
If there is really control and influence, it will be extremely detrimental to Ning Zhuo who is about to enter the ring to start the battle.
Ning surrendered: "I will try to remove these methods for you."
Ning Zhuo said: "Don't bother me, ancestor, you took action. The second round of palace examination is coming soon, ancestor, you are our Ning family's greatest hope!"
"I think it is reasonable for our Ning family to obtain the Lava Immortal Palace!"
"My idea is that I might as well ask Lord Zhu Xuanji to come forward and put pressure on me to remove all surveillance methods on me."
Ning Jingfan nodded slightly: "This is indeed a good idea. I will write a letter to inquire about Mr. Zhu's intentions."
While Ning Yifan was writing, Zhu Xuanji was also writing.
He wants to send it to Meng Kui!
In the letter, Zhu Xuanji recorded all the fragments of the test questions about the three techniques of Mirror Platform, Demonic Blood Muscle Technique, and Five Elements Qi Law Technique.
He wanted to ask Meng Kui to take action and figure out the relationship between these three martial arts and whether they were three sects.
"I hope to get a reply as soon as possible."
Zhu Xuanji looked at the holes in the light shield and the red flame monsters that kept killing and rushing in, and sighed deeply.
With the evacuation of the Nascent Soul-level fire-walking snakes, the red flame beast tide became larger and more threatening than before.
Especially recently, due to the secret efforts of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, holes appeared in the light shield, and red flame monsters kept breaking in.
The difficulty of breaking into the palace is greatly reduced compared to before.
Such changes greatly stimulated the red flame monsters. Their offensive became more violent and arrogant.
As a result, it becomes even more inconvenient for the monks to enter and exit the Lava Fairy Palace.
In the past, Zhu Xuanji might have acted in person. Anyway, it was not far away. He went directly to meet Meng Kui and urged the latter to make calculations in front of him.
Now, Zhu Xuanji is more inclined to only send Fetion letters.
After all, he needs a lot of time to prepare for the second round of the palace examination!
"According to the information given before, the second round of the palace examination is a personal battle."
"Does the so-called relative fairness mean that those with higher cultivation levels will be suppressed by the Immortal Palace to the same actual performance as those with lower cultivation levels?"
"After all, there are golden elixir monks, foundation-building monks, and Qi-refining monks in the ranking list."
"It is stipulated in the palace examination that only methods related to mechanism art are allowed to be used. This description of the scope is actually quite vague."
"If I have a large number of machine puppets, can I use them directly in the arena?"
"What will happen if there are golden elixir-level combat powers among these puppets?"
While Zhu Xuanji was thinking about it, Ning Yifan's letter flew in front of him.
When he opened the letter, he saw that it was about Ning Zhuo.
The worries expressed by Ning Jingfan were recognized by Zhu Xuanzhi.
Shenqing thought for a while and realized that Ning Zhuo's matter was very small, but it highlighted the huge internal troubles of the three alliances - as the subsequent competition becomes more and more fierce, the three big cultivators who were once united will fall apart and fight for their own interests.
Think and act.
This is obviously not what Zhu Xuanji wants to see.
He immediately decided to use Ning Zhuo's request to invite the three Jindan monks to come together to discuss important matters and consolidate the alliance!
After a while.
The three golden elixir monks surrounded Ning Zhuo and successively canceled their monitoring methods on Ning Zhuo.
During the whole process, Zhu Xuanji watched with his golden eyes.
Ning Jiufan breathed a sigh of relief.
If he relies on himself alone to solve these monitoring methods, he may not always be successful, and it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Now it is best to let these golden elixir monks personally remove them.
In the end, at Ning Zhuo's initiative, he retained the surveillance methods of Ning Jiufan and Zhu Xuanji.
Zheng Shuangou suddenly proposed a deal to Ning Zhuo.
He wants to acquire the mechanism monkey in Ning Zhuo's hands.
It's not the fiery monkey, but the Golden Elixir series. Ning Zhuo coordinated many parties and prepared it with great fanfare for a long time.
Naturally, Ning Zhuo didn't want to, because he had not yet succeeded in shaping this.
Zhu Xuanji on the side immediately saw his lie.
Zheng Shuangou didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter even if the structure is not completed. The Zheng family is willing to buy it at a high price if it is half a structure."
Ning Zhuo bluntly refused this time, which made Zheng Danqian snort in anger.
During this period, Meng Kui's reply flew to Zhu Xuanji.
The letter records that Meng Kui personally calculated and confirmed that Zhu Xuanji's guess was correct. Those three skills are one set, which are the three sects.
Meng Kui also calculated the approximate power of the Demonic Blood Muscle Technique. The Mirror Platform Channeling Technique is to create mirrors in the Dantian of the Divine Sea to directly communicate with spiritual things. At first, there were only a handful of these mirrors. As the cultivation progressed,
, the number of mirrors will increase and the quality will be higher!
In order to win over others, Zhu Xuanji took the initiative to share the contents of the letter.
Ning Zhuo was astonished as he watched on the sidelines, fully appreciating the profound understanding of cultivation at the Jindan level and Nascent Soul level. Even if it was just a few words, he could quickly figure out the subtle essence.
With the news of the second round of palace examinations, Ning Zhuo began to actively prepare for the competition.
His life was not peaceful.
People came to him one after another and offered huge sums of money, not only to buy his golden elixir-level materials, but also to try to bribe him to make him fight match-fixing.
Ning Zhuo refused them all, and the grace he showed made Ning submit and was quite surprised.
Be polite first and then fight.
Many people and forces began to use more drastic methods around the second round of the palace examination.
A foundation-level casual cultivator died tragically at night and was discovered at noon the next day. His death was as if his heart had been pierced and his soul had completely disappeared.
The properties of the Ning family, the Zheng family, and the Zhou family were all targeted at the same time.
Even Quanshulou's stronghold in Huoshixian City was robbed.
According to eyewitnesses, the perpetrator was a black shadow demon cultivator.
However, it is obvious that if a super sect can be targeted in this way, there is a high probability that another super sect is taking advantage of the opportunity!
"The second round of the palace examination..."
"Humph, they actually had a great time."
"How about we give it a try and participate to some extent, what do you think? Han Ming?"
Luo Shang was living in the fairy city, looking in the direction of the top of the Fire Persimmon Mountain, and sneered.
Han Ming lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, very well-behaved: "Lord Luo Shang, what do you want me to do?"
She was filled with helplessness.
She hid in hiding for a long time, but because of the monster attack on the city, her whereabouts were finally revealed. Luo Shang discovered her, forcibly recruited her, and took her with him.
Luo Shang: "Go and contact the City Lord's Mansion."
"They must be interested in your information."
"Although Ning Zhuo is only a junior in the Qi refining stage, he has advanced to the second round. If something happens to him, Meng Kui's side will be able to seize the opportunity and launch a massive attack on Zhu Xuanji's side."
"The scene between two tigers is more beautiful."
"Hahaha!"
Chapter completed!
