For example, Divine Bravery and Invisible are combined, and the two-spell combination can still maintain that every characteristic is at the ninth turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the combination of three spells, combining the third spell is all for the sake of actual combat, so the effect naturally is terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Liu Tianning concluded that Zhao Xing's talent for straw man techniques was above everyone else's. His fight against Li Feng naturally seemed easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change to someone else, Li Feng could enter the top ten, but meeting Zhao Xing, can only say his luck is bad.\" Lu Bang shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is there any luck? I arranged it on purpose,\" Liu Tianning said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Lu Bang was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person was training next to the rockery before and kept talking about fighting Zhao Xing,\" Liu Tianning said. \"I was reading a book next to him and was annoyed by him, so I simply fulfilled his wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bang couldn't help but be speechless. Li Feng really asked for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the second game, Cai Jin fought Fang Yi, and Cai Jin won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the third game, Zhuang Ziqing fought He Yuan, and Zhuang Ziqing won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fourth game, Feng Qi fought Chao Yun, and Feng Qi won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first four games, the gap between the two sides was relatively large. Among them, Fang Yi was the 20th place in the last round, passing the level by pressing the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Jin has been stable at second, and He Yuan is 18th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Qi fighting Chao Yun is the same reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winners all won the game with absolute advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But starting from the fifth game, the duels continued to be upsets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth game, Guan Junyang fought Qian Guang, and Qian Guang won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixth game, Cao Shuang fought Che Shihai, and Che Shihai won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh game, Jiang Tianming fought Wei Chen, and Wei Chen won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighth game, Han Bing fought Wu Yue, and Wu Yue won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The geniuses who were originally in the top ten in the fifth level were defeated one after another by those with weak rankings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even A-grade geniuses like Cao Shuang and Guan Junyang, who were already at the fourth turn of the Zhi Realm, still lost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an uproar under the plaza, and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet unexpectedly, so many geniuses originally favored with Grade A+ ratings were defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even had a higher level of Straw Man Art and appeared to have the advantage, but in the actual duel, they didn't win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on?\" Lu Bang also looked at this scene in surprise. He didn't have a deep understanding of Straw Man Art, so he found this scene quite strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the difference between theory and actual combat,\" Liu Tianning said. \"Straw Man Art is different from other spells. It is an 'external avatar.' Although their Straw Man Art doesn't have the high controllability of a 'Self-Straw Man,' that control still exists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commanding a straw man and issuing instructions to it creates a thread of connection between the mind and the straw man. The stronger the straw man, the stronger this connection becomes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it is a Self-Straw Man, the straw man is equivalent to another body! One brain having to control multiple bodies is much more difficult, which is why the Self-Straw Man of the Myriad Laws is called the ultimate technique of Straw Man Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also know a little Straw Man Art, why don't I have this feeling?\" Lu Bang asked humbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are at the Fifth-Rank realm, and your mind is powerful, so these influences naturally don't count for much to you. Moreover, you haven't studied it deeply and have only mastered the basics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tianning said Lu Bang only mastered the basics, and Lu Bang didn't have a single thought of refuting it, because the other party was indeed qualified to say so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tianning explained: \"The connection between the straw man and the original body is an influence on the original body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using Straw Man Art in actual combat has a much greater impact than suddenly growing a third arm or a third leg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you only issue simple instructions, like moving forward or backward, or vague commands like attack or defend, it's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like growing a third arm or a third leg, but not using it; although there is some discomfort, the impact isn't intense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But once you engage in actual combat and perform precise control, the impact on these little guys becomes very obvious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I said before that practical experience determines success or failure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people who won now are more adapted to this 'external avatar' spell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like some people's sense of spatial direction and visual imagery are innately stronger than others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In Straw Man Art, the people who won now have stronger talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Off the field, Cao Shuang, Han Bing, and Jiang Tianming, who had come to stand beside Zhao Xing and Zhuang Ziqing, had a look of confusion in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, these three didn't seem to believe they had lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I lose?\" Cao Shuang looked at his hands. \"Che Shihai is clearly weaker than me. Not to mention the comprehension of Dao, just in this Straw Man Art, he used four Eight-Turn Profound Soldier Straw Men + a Holy Shield Straw Man to knock over all six of my Nine-Turn straw men?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be the reason for the compatibility of the spells? Or did I perform poorly?\" Jiang Tianming was also summarizing; the situation he encountered was about the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. In terms of spell compatibility, Brother Cao, myself, and Brother Jiang's spell compatibility is stronger than the opponent's. Although not by much, it is still stronger. It is absolutely impossible that we lost because we were weaker in this aspect.\" Han Bing rarely spoke such a long sentence, and a clear look of confusion appeared on his expressionless face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why is that? Is it really that we are bad? Couldn't handle the pressure and performed poorly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhao, can you see any trick to this?\" Cao Shuang looked at Zhao Xing; after all, in the previous round, Zhao Xing's Straw Man Art was the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said: \"It's not that your mental fortitude is poor, that you couldn't handle the pressure and performed poorly, nor is it that your spells are weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's that you can raise straw men, but you aren't good at using them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Straw Man Art is different from other spells. Have you seen martial artists practice with blades?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being good at wielding a single blade doesn't mean you are good at wielding dual blades. A blade cultivator who can carry multiple blades on their body at once, and not just for show, is even stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing spoke eloquently: \"Sword cultivators among martial artists are strong, but why are they rarely seen? It's just that they can't do it. Every extra sword controlled increases the burden. Straw Man Art also has levels of control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many people have no problem practicing to Nine-Turn when training with a single straw man, but in battle, every additional straw man increases the burden on themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some people are naturally more suited to using this type of spell, and some are not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The emergence of spell compatibility is actually to solve this drawback. One straw man has multiple applications, and the burden is smaller, but achieving multi-spell integration is no less difficult than controlling multiple single-spell straw men at the same time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes down to it, it's still a matter of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing, Cao Shuang, and Jiang Tianming immediately understood that they would likely find it difficult to continue on this path of Straw Man Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhao Xing? Looking at him, he is probably a 'Straw Man Talent.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the chat, the ninth match between Yu Hao and Li Jian ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hao won, and Yu Hao was also in the top ten of the previous test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the tenth match, Shi Yong fought Yin Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing also watched Shi Yong's battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final result was that Shi Yong still won, and it was a quick victory as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His two types of Straw Man Art have both reached Nine-Turn. After the dual-spell integration, the Divine Brave Giant Shield Straw Man that appeared has individual effects that are very close to Nine-Turn,\" Zhao Xing thought to himself. \"I wonder if this is his full strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yong also walked off the square at this time. Throughout the battle, he had been frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the first round was over, and the ten people who lost received the fifth-tier reward of 5,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting the basic qualifying points from before, these ten people could get a total of over 6,000 points, which is already not a small amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining ten people—Zhao Xing, Cai Jin, Zhuang Ziqing, Feng Qi, Wei Chen, Qian Guang, Wu Yue, Che Shihai, Yu Hao, and Shi Yong—continued with the second round of drawing lots for duels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still a one-match-decides-the-winner format.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish, swish, swish~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command tokens flew out, and the other nine finished choosing quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing, however, waited leisurely for the last token to fly into his hand on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid,\" Lu Bang couldn't help but smile when he saw this. \"The others all want to know who their opponent is as soon as possible, but Zhao Xing is unhurried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is confident enough, and naturally has a sense of relaxation about him. When facing an enemy in battle, this is exactly the state one needs,\" Liu Tianning appreciated Zhao Xing more and more. \"This child could be a main general of an army; no wonder Fang Wu evaluated him like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command token Zhao Xing received was still number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he received it, a young man with prominent cheekbones and very faint brow lines beside the square couldn't help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Qian Guang, and he also held number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I can only get the point reward in the 5th to 10th place bracket.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang won against Guan Junyang in the last round, but in Qian Guang's view, Guan Junyang's Straw Man Art wasn't outrageously strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Guan Junyang was powerful in the Nine-Section Dao Field and even cultivated one of the Solar Term Tokens to the Fourth-Turn of the Knowing Realm, this was a competition of the Self-School Straw Man Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang had quite a bit of talent in this path, and in actual combat, he could control six straw men with ease, so although his straw man level was slightly weaker, his straw man control was stronger, and he eventually won the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing Zhao Xing in this round, the confidence he had just built up became shaky again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at Zhao Xing's performance in the fourth and fifth rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Single-spell straw man competition, eighteen straw men, ranked first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multi-spell integration competition, perfect dual-spell straw man, ranked first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at how he beat Li Feng, one knew this person must be an old hand at using straw men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His practical control of spells would definitely not be weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what, I can already get 8,000 points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget about success or failure, just treat it as practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the pressure of Zhao Xing's past record, Qian Guang closed his eyes, and his mindset quickly returned to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First match, Zhao Xing versus Qian Guang, begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier rose. At the moment it began, both pointed at the materials beside them and began to cast spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials were disappearing, but no straw men appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, both were using invisible straw men as a base, preparing straw man puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang kept staring at Zhao Xing; he had to pay attention to Zhao Xing's movements at all times to avoid not knowing when the enemy sent straw men over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first straw man took shape, and Qian Guang felt a little more confident, because this was an 'Invisible Giant Shield Straw Man.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broad figure of the Giant Shield Straw Man gave Qian Guang some sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at Zhao Xing a second time, Qian Guang's heart skipped a beat, because the speed at which the materials beside Zhao Xing were disappearing was too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed at which the materials disappeared was twice as fast as his!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proved that the opponent's speed of raising straw men was faster; perhaps two straw men had already taken shape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Invisible straw man, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After raising the first straw man, Qian Guang couldn't wait to raise a second single-spell invisible straw man and ordered the straw man to start attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In actual combat, one doesn't necessarily have to win by integration. He had quite a bit of talent with invisible straw men, and his speed of forming spells was the fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He changed his previous strategy of hoarding numbers and began to sneak in an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew that comparing numbers or quality, it would be very difficult to beat Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps... there was only a hundred-step distance between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible straw man tiptoed toward Zhao Xing, while Zhao Xing seemed completely unaware, still staring at the materials in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could he be a show-off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang's heart pounded, because the invisible straw man had already appeared in front of Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible straw man blasted Zhao Xing away, and he fell directly outside the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Won?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang showed joy, but the next moment he realized something was wrong, because 'Zhao Xing' collapsed after falling out of the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, it's a Phantom Straw Man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did he raise a Phantom Straw Man?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang felt something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to leave his original position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a pair of hands wrapped around Qian Guang, holding him tightly, and began to heat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, I concede! I concede!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang immediately shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's no wonder Qian Guang panicked; this was a perfect-level Martyrdom Explosion Straw Man. Being held by a Martyrdom Explosion Straw Man, anyone would be afraid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a Si Nong's physique, if this exploded, he would be done for. Of course, Liu Tianning's dueling arena had a protection mechanism and wouldn't kill anyone, but why would he suffer this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Xing wins.\" Liu Tianning's voice sounded, and then the red light automatically dissipated and disintegrated into a pile of materials scattered beside Qian Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pop, pop, pop, pop~\" The firecracker materials hit the ground and crackled. Qian Guang, still having lingering fears, immediately shuddered and jumped off the square at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang's comical escape immediately drew a burst of laughter, but the others who were competing couldn't laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Guang, who had defeated Guan Junyang, actually had no power to fight back in front of Zhao Xing and couldn't even last one round. Who could stop him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second match, Cai Jin versus Wu Yue, Cai Jin won quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third match, Zhuang Ziqing versus Che Shihai, Zhuang Ziqing won quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth match, Yu Hao versus Wei Chen, a stalemate for two quarters of an hour, Yu Hao won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the duel list, it was said to be random, but in fact, that Lord Liu had manipulated things behind the scenes, not letting strong people fight strong people, but rather strong people against weak people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this concerned point rewards; if a weak person got high points because of luck, it would be somewhat unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone held this thought, the battle between Shi Yong and Feng Qi in the fifth match greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yong versus Feng Qi, final result, Feng Qi wins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems some big shots guessed the ending; the book friends are full of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plot progress will speed up next, and the next chapter will be half a year later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the new book monthly ticket list is very close to third place.
