While Ning Zhuo was calculating the time for the palace examination, he was concentrating on each arena.
He quickly discovered that this was a rare opportunity!
He could stand under the arena and observe the battles between twenty monks on ten arenas at the same time.
It can be said that the monks showed off their talents, and the machine dolls they created in a short period of time contained various ideas.
The one with the greatest momentum and the most powerful fighting force is Zhu Xuanji’s machine puppet.
It had a red scarf tied on its forehead, and Ning Zhuo privately called it the Red Turban Army.
Obviously, the Red Scarf Army is a machine doll made of fire essence as the main material, and its flame offensive is extremely powerful.
Zhu Xuanji built the doll's body out of charcoal-baked clay, and its fists were wrapped in gold to form armor.
"The Red Turban Army must have a very good storage array in its body. It uses too much fire essence."
The raging flames formed by the consumption of fire essence were compressed layer by layer within the body of the Red Turban Army, so that it was compressed to the point of being almost viscous.
Flames continuously sprayed from the Red Turban Army's mouth, nose, palms, etc., forming fire dragons and walls of fire. The flames covered the entire arena with a fierce momentum, placing the enemy in a sea of ​​​​fire and constantly burning.
The Red Turban Army thrived in the flames, while its enemies suffered misfortune.
Ning Zhuo looked around the ten arenas and found that almost all the monks' mechanical creations could not withstand such a fierce fire attack.
Even his Five Elements pawns are like this.
"The only one with hope is Zheng Hua's machine doll, right?"
He privately named it King Kong Guard.
Ning Zhuo kept observing and found that the only one who could withstand the fire attack was the Vajra Guard.
Zheng Hua himself has talent and can easily smelt materials.
Ning Zhuo guessed that he should have blended fist gold and charcoal-baked clay into a new mixed material, and based it on it, he built a tall and honest doll.
The black-gold, slightly gray metal armor almost covers the entire body of the doll.
The joints are made of ancient wood with spiritual patterns.
The transformation of the large frost flower droplet was based on the same idea as Ning Zhuo, and a magic circle was arranged.
However, what Zheng Hua arranged in the water droplets was an ice array and a healing array, which allowed the water droplets to repair the wounds of the Vajra Guard. If the wound was too large, the water droplets would separate part of it and turn into ice for temporary filling.
This filling function will effectively reduce the enemy's attack damage against its own wounds.
The defense of the Vajra Guard is very strong. No matter how much the opponent attacks it, it will remain on the same spot and remain motionless.
Ning Zhuo looked at Ning and submitted.
In Ning Zhuo's judgment, among the twenty or so mechanical puppets on the ten stages, only three were clearly superior to the Five Elements Pawns in terms of performance.
In addition to the Red Scarf Army and the Vajra Guards, there are also the Frost Envoys created by Ning Jiufan.
The whole body of this mechanical doll is made of ice. The ice is also covered with dense frost flowers.
Obviously, Ning Jongfan focused on the large frost flower water droplets.
He froze it into ice and immediately came to the field of ice sculpture mechanism that he was best at.
Because the total amount of large water droplets is limited, Ning Yifan's frost makes the body quite small.
On its body, you can see some wooden and gold joints, armor and other structures.
Ning Yifan's craftsmanship is good. These joints and armor are small, exquisite and gorgeous, which are very eye-catching.
The Frost Envoy can release a frost circle. As the cold air spreads, the enemy's movements will often become slower and slower, until their joints and other vital parts are frozen.
"When encountering these three, my Five Elements pawns will most likely be defeated."
"Zheng Hua may still have a chance of victory, but Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan basically have no hope of victory!"
Ning Zhuo compared it and found out he was very self-aware.
All Jindan level monks, although they will be suppressed by the Immortal Palace to the level of Qi refining stage, have obvious advantages in control techniques, combat experience, even mana, spirit and other aspects.
The rest of the foundation building period and Qi refining period should not be underestimated. If you are careless, it can easily capsize.
After all, this group of people can be recognized by the Lava Immortal Palace and can enter the Immortal Palace, which shows that their attainments in mechanism skills are quite excellent!
"If we really want to calculate it, Meng Chong's organizational attainments should be the lowest, right?"
Ning Zhuo's gaze subconsciously shifted to one of the arenas.
The machine dolls that Meng Chong made were very sloppy and the structure was quite simple. But he owned two of the machine dolls!
His opponent at this time only had a machine puppet, and after seeing Meng Chong, he took the initiative to raise his hands and admit defeat.
"This person is obviously a foundation-building casual cultivator."
"The City Lord's Mansion has huge power and a well-organized layout. Have you contacted him and made private bribes?"
Ning Zhuo tried his best to remember.
On the ten stages, there are more than twenty mechanical puppets, each with its own characteristics, and the cultivation techniques used have their own emphasis.
For example, Ning Yuanfan's mechanical dolls focused on carving. Zheng Hua's Vajra Guards used many weapon refining techniques.
These technical characteristics will often be maintained in subsequent palace examinations.
On the other hand, the design of the mechanical dolls also highlights the temperament characteristics of each monk.
For example, Zhu Xuanji hates evil and will always unconsciously position himself in the hunter's offensive position.
The above information is extremely valuable.
"Boss Sun, it's a bit dangerous." Ning Zhuo was secretly worried.
Although Sun Lingtong has studied the classics of Mechanisms attentively, he does not have much talent for Mechanisms. Compared with most monks, he is excellent.
But now that he is participating in the palace examination of Lava Immortal Palace, compared with this group of mechanical monks, his performance is obviously weak.
"I'll just continue to use the Five Elements pawn."
"Mecha dolls with this kind of balanced performance often have a difficult time in battle. This just makes the enemies and spectators look down upon them."
"This is very helpful for my hiding!"
Ning Zhuo is not worried about himself, especially when facing the problem of dragon and turtle's fire spirit leaking, he is quite confident in himself.
But he was worried about Sun Lingtong.
If Sun Lingtong is eliminated in this round with the name "Ning Zhuo", others will find out that the "entry standard" is actually Ning Zhuo himself!
The second round of palace examinations continues.
Ning Zhuo then went on stage several times and encountered Zhu Xuanji. Ning surrendered and gave up without hesitation.
There are many cases of this kind of surrender, and this is not an isolated case like his. This undoubtedly greatly shortened the overall competition time.
The day has not yet ended, and the first question of the second round of the palace examination has already been completed.
Ning Zhuo took a long breath and concluded the overall competition. Although there was a rest period in each game, it was still very tiring. It was a arduous test for mana, spirit, and will.
Still through the teleportation aperture, everyone was able to quickly return to their original location.
Ning Zhuo was summoned soon.
Ning Jiufan said to him with great joy: "Xiao Zhuo, I'm paying attention to you."
"Although every battle is a difficult test for you, you always have strong fighting spirit and perseverance to win each hard-fought victory."
"That's good. You are of my Ning family's blood, and you have the character of my Beifeng man."
Ning Zhuo took advantage of the opportunity to express his loyalty, and then submitted to Ning with a playful smile to ask for reward.
Ning Junfan had begun to get used to Ning Zhuo's shamelessness. In today's battle, he only lost to Zhu Xuanji. He was in a good mood and directly took out the golden elixir level trap monkey.
This mechanism monkey was lent to Ning Jiaofan by Ning Zhuo before.
"I didn't expect that in the second round of the palace examination, there would be no use for it."
"Give it back to you."
"The internal parts and components here are also given to you."
"There is a log police pillow mechanism among them, which is suitable for your current situation."
"You release it and it will protect you day and night."
"The first question of the second round of the palace examination has passed. From now on, the situation of all monks will be full of danger. After all, this is a fight for the ownership of the Lava Immortal Palace."
Ning Zhuo did not expect that the machine monkey he had just lent would soon be returned to his hands.
He immediately expressed his deep gratitude to Ning Yifan.
After bringing back the mechanism ape, he opened the outer armor and saw a strict ice sculpture mechanism inside. Among them, the log alarm pillow that Ning Jingfan highlighted was special, as it was made of wood.
Ning Zhuo did a little research and felt the profoundness.
After all, Ning Yifan was at the Golden Elixir level, surpassing Ning Zhuo in terms of mechanical attainments. There were many manufacturing methods that Ning Zhuo could not achieve.
The next day, the teleportation aperture appeared, and everyone took the stage again to compete in the second test question.
The content of the second test question is still five copies of each of the Five Elements materials and one spiritual stone.
Compared with the first test question, the Five Elements materials are still at the Qi Refining level, but the quantities are not sufficient, which forces many previous structural plans to fail during design.
Because, on a single material, there is not enough scale.
Even that piece of spiritual stone is no longer a middle-grade spiritual stone, but a low-grade one. This forces all monks to add at least one spiritual gathering array.
The difficulty of the second test question was obviously much higher than that of the first test question.
Ning Zhuo's performance was quite satisfactory, but Sun Lingtong and others had more defeats than wins.
This trend is quite bad.
Fortunately, Ning Yifan returned the former Jindan-level trap ape.
Ning Zhuo finished the second test question, and in the evening of the same day, he went to the intensive care unit and met Sun Lingtong secretly.
In front of Sun Lingtong, he recalled Yuan Dasheng's spirituality and injected it back into the Golden Blood War Ape.
Then, he handed over the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng to Sun Lingtong for use.
Yang Chanyu on the side learned the next plan of the two, and couldn't help but look at the golden-blooded battle ape Dasheng in surprise: "You mean, this mechanism comes from the trial level?!"
"Then according to the requirements in the second round of the palace examination, wouldn't it be possible to use it directly? We don't need to construct the mechanism puppet in every arena competition at all?"
Sun Lingtong rolled his eyes: "Why do you think so? Of course we need to continue to refine the dolls. In this case, wouldn't we be like Meng Chong, with two dolls fighting?"
Yang Chanyu's expression paused: "That's true."
Just like that, on the third day of the competition, Sun Lingtong directly took out the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng and used it, shocking the others!
Chapter completed!
