Chapter 154: Yuan Dasheng vs Meng Chong (Third Battle)

Molten Immortal Palace.

This was Meng Chong's first time entering the preparation room.

The five-sided stone pillar leaderboard was very conspicuous, especially since it was still rotating slowly.

Meng Chong saw the stone pillar at a glance.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had been paying attention to him; seeing Meng Chong enter the preparation room, its originally half-open eyelids opened a bit wider because of excitement.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's state was very poor.

Earlier, the Molten Immortal Palace resisted the swarm attack of the Red Flame monsters, and the situation was once quite dangerous.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit personally took action, drilling into the Dao Master's mechanical puppet to control it. After a bitter battle, it managed to save the situation and finally killed the Jin Dan-level Fire-Melting Demon Ape.

Its spirituality was greatly consumed.

This was mainly because it didn't match the Dao Master's mechanical creation at all.

Now, there were still many Red Flame monsters besieging the Molten Immortal Palace. The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had to organize mechanical creations to build a defensive line on one hand, arrange various repairs on the other, and also take care of the trials of the Qi Refining stage disciples.

Such a complicated and huge workload was also a long-term and continuous consumption of its spirituality.

Even so, seeing Meng Chong walk toward the leaderboard, its mood couldn't help but become excited, transmitting key messages.

In an instant, a fire whip condensed and whipped it!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit retracted its head, dragon claws, etc., into its turtle shell, enduring the pain.

Meng Chong received the reminder and his spirit was lifted; only then did he know that this was the preparation room and there was no danger.

He relaxed his guard slightly and walked to the leaderboard of the five-sided stone pillar.

According to the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's prompt, Meng Chong first contacted the stone pillar to obtain the trial disciple's mark.

Then, he looked up to observe the leaderboard.

Qi Refining List, Essence Refining List, Spirit Refining List, Progress List, and Speed-Through List.

Among the five leaderboards, he ranked second on the Qi Refining List, Progress List, and Speed-Through List. There was no Meng Chong's name on the Essence Refining List or Spirit Refining List.

Meng Chong felt indignant; since he was a child, he had always fought for the first place.

He had an Immortal Asset and was a genius among geniuses; he should have been above others, a person occupying the peak.

How could he be second?!

But when Meng Chong saw the first place, he was relieved.

The name at the first place of the five lists was the same—Entry Standard!

"Only by exceeding this standard can one be accepted into the Molten Immortal Palace?"

"The Three Sects Superior is worthy of being a great power at the Void Refinement level; every trial level has a high difficulty, and the entry standard is also so high."

"Very good!"

"In this way, I have more desire to challenge."

"In addition, having a name on the leaderboard also has rewards, which is really good."

"Hahaha!"

Meng Chong's fighting spirit was greatly boosted; he studied in the preparation room for a while before continuing to push the door and enter Room No. 4.

Molten Immortal Palace Main Hall.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit shrank in its turtle shell, trembling from the fire whip, and was so angry at Meng Chong that it rolled its eyes.

Clearly, it had already reminded him, specifically telling Meng Chong that he was "second"! But Meng Chong didn't think much about it and laughed very happily.

This made the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit feel like vomiting blood.

It had already done its best, but Meng Chong couldn't detect the trickiness here at all.

Forget it!

This meal of fire whips, it was beaten in vain.

Level 2 checkpoint.

After Meng Chong left, Ning Zhuo quickly crawled out of the mechanical trap.

He first came to the first door, used the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal to push open a slit, and looked at Room No. 1.

Confirming that no one was coming, he closed the door and summoned the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng in.

It's not like before.

Because there are more and more participants, it is very inconvenient for Ning Zhuo to enter and exit the Molten Immortal Palace, let alone summon the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng in.

The trend is very obvious.

In the future, the risk of Ning Zhuo summoning the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng in will become greater and greater.

The transmission circle appeared, bringing Dasheng to the puppet Ning Zhuo's side.

"I, see my Lord!" The Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng knelt on one knee to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo was very interested in Yuan Dasheng's performance in the Wisdom Spirit Stage, but this was not a good time for detailed research.

"The mechanical body of the Gold Blood War Ape is much worse than the Tree Martial Fighting Ape."

"But it is the only one recognized by the Molten Immortal Palace and can freely enter and exit the Immortal Palace."

"Just this point alone, the Gold Blood War Ape has extremely high value and cannot be replaced."

Ning Zhuo took Dasheng through the second level and came to the second door.

To prevent Meng Chong from still being in Room No. 3, the puppet Ning Zhuo stayed in place, letting Dasheng push the door and enter first to explore the situation.

As a result, he found that Room No. 3 was a mess, and the kung fu puppets were all broken, scattered on the ground.

"Sure enough." After Ning Zhuo pushed the door and entered, seeing this scene, he had no surprise.

He had thought of it before.

Every time Meng Chong was hit and obstructed, when he returned, his strength must have made huge progress.

"This is the Immortal Asset, and also the fate!"

Ning Zhuo sighed, took Dasheng through Room No. 3, and came to the third door.

It was still the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng pushing the door and entering.

Meng Chong was not found.

Ning Zhuo didn't rush to enter, but let the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng take out the mechanical parts used for monitoring from the corner.

After checking, Ning Zhuo learned the key information through Dasheng. Meng Chong's entire activity process here was known to him.

First the leaderboard stone pillar, then he contacted various mechanical pedestals and mechanical production tools, and finally Meng Chong left and entered the next level.

"Meng Chong obtained the trial disciple's mark... strange, he seems to have known the detailed steps here long ago, without any attempt, and did it directly."

Ning Zhuo passed by the stone pillar leaderboard.

Now on the leaderboard, there were two names again.

Last time, it was Dasheng on the list.

But with Dasheng being calculated and harmed by Ning Zhuo, and finally becoming his mechanical creation, the leaderboard only had Ning Zhuo's name for a while.

Regarding what name to change to, Ning Zhuo also thought about it carefully.

First, it cannot be the name of others in the Immortal City. Once the four major forces such as the City Lord's Mansion launch their full strength, it is easy to arrest them, and after verifying, they can judge whether it is true or false. Then judge whether the name on the leaderboard can be changed, or someone is cheating, which is extremely unfavorable to Ning Zhuo.

Secondly, it cannot be the name of a dead person.

Because Dasheng was off the list.

This proves that dead competitors will be eliminated.

Ning Zhuo's name must always remain on it, and the flaws are too outrageous.

"Neither living nor dead names will work, so I can only play some tricks." Ning Zhuo thought so at the time.

? tkдn? O

Finally, he changed his name to "Entry Standard".

Doing so has many benefits.

The first is to hide his identity as a competitor.

The second is to correspond with the trial disciple's mark, "testifying" for each other.

In Ning Zhuo's personal judgment, since he could figure out the trial disciple's mark, others would probably figure it out too.

By then, each trial disciple's mark would be the best trust endorsement for Ning Zhuo.

The third benefit is to take into account the situation of his own ranking changes in the future.

Once the "Entry Standard" is exceeded by others in the future, others will think—"I have reached the standard, I have reached the standard to be promoted to an entry disciple."

And once the "Entry Standard" surpasses others, what others can think of—oh, it turns out the entry standard is flexible. Like many family assessments, only the top ten are rewarded. The entry standard of the Molten Immortal Palace also changes according to the situation of the trial disciples.

Ning Zhuo and the stone pillar leaderboard brushed past each other.

It was still the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng pushing the door and entering Room No. 4 first.

Through the monitoring mechanical parts, Ning Zhuo found that after Meng Chong entered the room, his footsteps paused slightly, and then he cast spells in turn to obtain the mechanical parts corresponding to the spells.

Ning Zhuo: "Strange! Here, Meng Chong also seems to have known about it long ago. There is no process of groping, and he found the answer directly."

Ning Zhuo took Dasheng and accelerated forward.

There was no Meng Chong in Door No. 5.

The monitoring mechanical parts showed Meng Chong's dashing posture when passing the level.

Ning Zhuo checked carefully and confirmed again that Meng Chong had made huge progress—he could add Immortal Assets to spells!

This made Ning Zhuo even more solemn.

Room No. 6.

Meng Chong laughed loudly: "This is interesting. Wild Running Sudden Thunder!"

He shouted, his figure like lightning, dodging the coverage strikes of several spells.

He used the Immortal Asset again, this time adding it to the Ice-Holding Technique and A Stream of Qi.

The Ice-Holding Technique and A Stream of Qi merged, forming a straight freezing air, and amidst the flashing lightning, quickly hit a spell puppet.

The spell puppet was immediately frozen.

Meng Chong created a gap and took the opportunity to drill out of the spell puppet's encirclement.

However, just when he was about to be proud, the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng suddenly appeared!

"Ah, it's you!!" Meng Chong was overjoyed to see the prey.

The Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng was covered in fire, rushed up, and wanted to fight Meng Chong in close quarters.

Meng Chong was fearless, even very excited: "Last time I was burned to death by fire. This time I won't, I have spell protection."

Meng Chong cast the spell Ice-Holding Technique, A Stream of Qi, paired with the Qi-Releasing Ring, so that his surroundings were shrouded in rich freezing air.

With freezing air to offset the fire, Meng Chong was no longer afraid of being burned to death.

But the next moment, the Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng's palm was printed on Meng Chong's chest.

Spell—Five Elements Chaotic Qi Technique!

This was the reward after the Dao Gate's three levels, and it was the first time Ning Zhuo used it on Meng Chong in actual combat.

As for the effect... quack quack good!

In just an instant, the spiritual energy in Meng Chong's body was completely disordered, changing from orderly before to a mess.

"I..." Meng Chong's body couldn't move, and at the same time, he had to suffer the backlash from the interruption of spells like the Ice-Holding Technique.

The Gold Blood War Ape·Dasheng then took action, gently picking off Meng Chong's puppet head.

Then, the palm exerted force, instantly crushing the puppet head.

Meng Chong had to carry strong unwillingness, soul flying out of the palace, returning to his own flesh body.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

He opened his eyes violently, still incredulous: "What kind of spell is this, it seems quite restraining to the Five Elements Qi Law?"

"Lost again!"

"It doesn't matter, this time I gained a lot."

Meng Chong had strong expectations for the next entry into the palace, his fighting spirit high.

"By the way, send a copy of the latest information to Fei Si and Grandfather, let them help me think if there is a faster way to pass the level."
