Chapter 108
Lava Xian Gong.
Room One.
Puppet parts moved one after another, splicing together to form several human shapes.
? C〇
Soon, Puppet Zhou Zhu, Puppet Zheng Jian, Puppet Ning Xiaohui, and Puppet Unlike Ning Zhuo gathered together.
The few looked at each other.
Zhou Zhu was tall and strong, Zheng Jian was surrounded by several wooden hooks, and Ning Xiaohui's hands were precisely constructed, clearly different from the rest of her body.
As for Unlike Ning Zhuo...
"Wow, your head is so big!" Zhou Zhu exclaimed.
Zheng Jian nodded slightly: "Looking at it this way, you really do have hidden innate talent."
Zhou Zhu and Zheng Jian had died so many times that they had gradually learned quite a bit, including the secret that puppet forms are related to innate talent.
Zhou Zhu asked: "What kind of innate talents lead to a big head?"
Ning Xiaohui replied: "Many. For example, Clear Spirit Platform, Talent of Eight Dou, Deeply Planted Wisdom Roots, Soaring Spirit and Thought, Heaven-Bestowed Wisdom..."
Her tone was very calm, but her heart was full of astonishment; she didn't expect Unlike Ning Zhuo to actually have innate talent!
And this kind of innate talent was very compatible with mechanism arts.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense was abundant; upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, spiritual sense evolves into spiritual consciousness, making it more convenient to enslave beasts, manipulate insects, control souls, and command Dao soldiers, zombie puppets, etc.
This naturally also included various types of mechanical creations.
"Is that so?"
"My head is indeed a circle larger than yours."
Unlike Ning Zhuo looked around at everyone, touching his big head, and said in a very pleasantly surprised tone.
Since the banquet, after Unlike Ning Zhuo slightly revealed his spiritual sense advantage, he successfully stirred up the curiosity of others.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense was frighteningly abundant, and there was a high probability he possessed a related innate talent.
But testing innate talent is quite difficult. Many strange and bizarre innate talents are not easy to test.
Zhou Zeshen thought of a good method: "We can enter the Xian Gong with our souls."
"According to our understanding of the Xian Gong, our puppet bodies correspond to our innate talents, and thus each has its own strange appearance."
"If Brother Ning truly has innate talent, it will surely be reflected in this aspect."
"The Lava Xian Gong is the palace of the Three Sects' Venerables; testing innate talent should be no problem!"
Once this was proposed, everyone cheered, feeling it was feasible, and immediately agreed to end the meeting, go home, and then set a time to enter the Xian Gong with their souls simultaneously.
So much so that now, everyone was surrounding Unlike Ning Zhuo, examining his big head.
Unlike Ning Zhuo had to demonstrate this innate talent.
There was no other way.
As long as he entered the Xian Gong with his soul, the big head would definitely attract attention.
This feature was too obvious!
As more and more people enter the Xian Gong with their souls in the future, there will be more comparisons, highlighting the extraordinary nature of puppets with strange appearances.
Therefore, it was better for Unlike Ning Zhuo to proactively expose it in advance, which would allow him to more conveniently influence the thoughts of others.
Fortunately, there are many innate talents that can form the big-head feature.
Some innate talents require strict testing methods and the consumption of a large amount of resources to be determined.
It was not easy for Unlike Ning Zhuo to be forced to expose the answer of "early wisdom."
"In this way, the Ning family also has dual innate talents, just like my Zhou family." Zhou Zhu sighed in his heart.
Zheng Jian's mood was even heavier.
Because he was the only genius in the Zheng family. The other two families both had two geniuses; following this trend, the Zheng family would be at the bottom for a long time.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jian hurriedly said: "Now that our three families are united, it is a great joy that Brother Ning is revealing his innate talent!"
"After all, our enemy is Meng Chong."
"He has immortal talent; even with the addition of Zhou Zeshen, it will be difficult for us to deal with him."
Zheng Jian touted the strength of their opponent to increase the unity of the three families.
Zhou Zhu resonated deeply: "We have seen it before; Meng Chong pushed the door open and entered, his body like a bolt of lightning, winding and twisting, instantly passing through Room Two and pushing the door to enter Room Three."
"With such a performance, he must have already gone deep into the Xian Gong, his progress far exceeding ours."
Ning Xiaohui snorted coldly, unwilling to just boost the morale of others: "However, didn't Meng Chong fall into a coma recently? It can be seen that the later the inheritance in the Xian Gong, the greater the difficulty; even Meng Chong couldn't bear it."
Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "Immortal talent is indeed very strong!"
"Let's choose our rewards first and then push the door."
"That's fine." Zhou Zhu nodded.
The four touched the door one after another and each chose their rewards.
Zheng Jian had just wanted to instruct Unlike Ning Zhuo on how to use the hanging ring when he saw him tilt his head, think for a moment, and shout: "Ah, so that's how it is, I understand."
Saying this, Unlike Ning Zhuo fired the colored diamond out, nailing it to the wall quite firmly.
Zheng Jian's heart trembled slightly; Unlike Ning Zhuo's speed of exploration was much stronger than his.
"Did he learn the intelligence we accumulated in advance?" Zheng Jian suspected in his heart.
"Let me teach you, it's like this." Seeing that Ning Xiaohui was still fumbling, Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to speak.
Ning Xiaohui snorted coldly: "No need!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she also successfully fired the colored diamond.
Ning Xiaohui's mood, however, was not good, thinking: "I was able to figure it out quickly because I obtained the intelligence shared by the Zhou and Zheng families. Unlike Ning Zhuo hasn't come into contact with anything..."
Zhou Zhu only dared to push the door open a tiny crack.
"Any wider, and war spears would shoot out through the crack." Zhou Zhu said this with an experienced look, "This is the maximum opening distance, I'm sure of it!"
Zheng Jian sighed lightly: "When we first came in to explore, this mechanism didn't exist. As the number of times we explore increases, the difficulty of the Xian Gong trials continuously increases."
Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "So that's how it is."
Zhou Zhu continued: "After pushing the door open, our feet will be bound, and then we will be smashed by a heavy hammer, crushed to pieces."
"If we are fast and rush through, we will be caught by a net, dragged back, and then smashed to death by the heavy hammer."
"If we walk along the edge, the walls will extend countless sharp long spears to pierce us. Otherwise, they will push us to the middle, and we will be smashed to death by the heavy hammer."
After hearing this, Ning Xiaohui became even more silent.
Unlike Ning Zhuo, however, suddenly said: "I have a method, perhaps we can try it."
"Before that, I want to ask, can we use the other mechanical parts in the room?" He asked knowing the answer.
Zheng Jian shook his head: "Cannot use them."
"Oh, in that case, the only things I can use are you all. Please, everyone, dismantle yourselves first." Unlike Ning Zhuo said.
"Ah?" Zhou Zhu was stunned.
"You really have a way?" Zheng Jian asked.
"Of course I do, but I can't guarantee it will succeed." Unlike Ning Zhuo said.
Zheng Jian smiled: "No matter what the method is, it needs to be tried. What exactly is the method?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo then revealed his plan.
Zheng Jian and Zhou Zhu immediately had strange expressions, while Ning Xiaohui took three steps back, shaking her head continuously, and flatly refused: "No, I don't want to do that!"
A moment later, a monster puppet with four heads, eight arms, and eight legs fiercely pushed the door open.
Its massive body stood steadily in the middle of the corridor; after triggering the mechanism, it immediately used one of its limbs as a shield to block, stopping the piercing of the war spears.
Afterward, it raised its eight hands high, holding back the heavy hammer that was just about to fall.
The heavy hammer didn't fall from a sufficient height to accumulate enough power before being interfered with by the monster puppet and laboriously pushed to the other side.
However, because of this action, three of the monster puppet's arms were overwhelmed and shattered.
"Success, success!" Zhou Zhu's head cheered repeatedly with joy.
Zheng Jian's head pondered: "No mistake, the Three Sects' Venerable really wanted to facilitate our cooperation. This painstaking effort is very much in line with his style of doing things."
"I say, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and dismantle us separately." Ning Xiaohui's head couldn't take it.
Her head was placed under an arm, like under an armpit; every time the arm moved, it squeezed her head, making her feel very unpleasant.
"Oh, I'll dismantle us right away." Unlike Ning Zhuo said hurriedly.
"Just thinking that if we have to pass through the first door this way every time, I feel terrible." Ning Xiaohui complained.
Zheng Jian said: "Since we can pass, it's a good method; as long as it's practical."
Zhou Zhu even said: "That's right, Miss Ning, your head is only under an arm; my head was under a crotch, did I say anything?"
"Sorry, sorry. Next time, I'll let Brother Zheng be at the bottom." Unlike Ning Zhuo said.
Zheng Jian gave an "uh": "Actually, this matter can be discussed further."
Ning Xiaohui screamed: "In any case, I will never pass the level this way in front of others!"
A moment later, everyone returned to their original physical states.
Ning Xiaohui's arms were both broken, and Zhou Zhu's torso was riddled with holes, all from the war spears.
Zheng Jian and Unlike Ning Zhuo's puppet bodies were relatively intact.
"Brother Ning, well done! You make me look at you with new eyes." Zheng Jian was very excited, patting Unlike Ning Zhuo's shoulder.
Zhou Zhu looked around, full of emotion. How many times had it been? He finally stood upright and steadily on the other side of the door!
This was not easy at all.
"All of this was brought by him." Zhou Zhu's evaluation of Unlike Ning Zhuo was raised once again.
Ning Xiaohui remained silent.
Unlike Ning Zhuo proposed: "Next, let's continue to break through the levels."
"Good! I want to see the splendor of the second level." Zheng Jian laughed loudly.
Zhou Zhu said: "Brother Ning, you go last; let us explore the path first."
Ning Xiaohui did not refute.
Although they hadn't been together for long, Unlike Ning Zhuo's performance had initially conquered the others.
So, not long after, Zheng Jian and the others fell into the trap one after another, their five senses blocked, as if trapped in boundless darkness, calling to heaven and earth with no response.
These traps were all deliberately set by Unlike Ning Zhuo.
It was precisely calculated for the current situation.
No one could observe him, so he used magic spells and the hanging ring to easily pass through Room Two.
After all, the vast majority of the mechanical traps were set by his own hands.
Unlike Ning Zhuo broke into Room Three and immediately triggered a large number of kung fu puppets.
He then activated Yuan Dasheng to escort himself.
This time, he didn't even use magic spells and walked out of Room Three, arriving at the preparation room.
Passing by the leaderboard, he looked up and sighed in his heart.
A flaw appeared here.
He had already changed his name and was ranked first on the five lists! Yuan Dasheng was already off the list, but if he entered the preparation room in front of everyone, the leaderboard could not possibly display the name of Unlike Ning Zhuo.
This would make others feel very strange when they saw it.
"Fortunately, now, in Room Three, Yuan Dasheng is guarding. Whether Meng Chong can cross this layer of obstacles is hard to say."
"But the joint exploration team of the three families, without that lightning-fast speed, will find it quite difficult."
