Chapter 292

The Fire-Walking Snake suffered heavy injuries and gave birth to the intention to retreat.

It flapped its wings and plunged into the thick magma, leaving a trail of fire snake paths along the way.

"What a pity, I didn't calculate its death date." Meng Kui's pupils returned to normal, he coughed a few times, his face pale.

Using his killing move just now also cost him a lot of vitality.

Once the Fire-Walking Snake retreated, the Red Flame Monster Beasts also lost their composure, their morale plummeted, and many monster beasts ran back, learning from the Nascent Soul-level Fire-Walking Snake, and drilled directly into the magma.

In contrast, the human cultivators shouted in unison, sweeping away the gloom.

They pursued the victory, various magic tools, magic treasures, and magic spells smashed down, and the Fire-Walking Snakes that had penetrated in had no follow-up support, gradually unable to hold on.

Not long after, they all fell on the battlefield.

Unlike Ning Zhuo stood on high ground and scanned the area.

Seeing the devastated battlefield, his mood was very heavy.

If this were to be settled, what kind of changes would his achievements have?

His heart sank, and he checked his achievements—positive three hundred and twenty-seven.

Thanks to the efforts of all members of the three families' renovation teams, Unlike Ning Zhuo's achievements were finally not negative, and after turning positive, they soared, rising to over three hundred.

"But if it's settled, my accumulation of achievements is likely a drop in the bucket."

"Without enough achievements, I can't rank in the top, so how can I squeeze into the Palace Examination?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt deep anxiety.

"No, I must find a way!"

"Befriend people from the City Lord's Mansion? Borrow their power?"

No.

The three positions Unlike Ning Zhuo held, corresponding to the three mechanical buildings, had their positions almost all occupied.

Besides that, Unlike Ning Zhuo could not enjoy the achievement dividends from positions in other mechanical buildings.

"Soul entering the Xian Gong, and then claiming other Xian Gong positions?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo found that this path was also blocked for him.

On one hand, the alliance agreement of the three families also included him, prohibiting him from entering the Xian Gong with his soul during this period.

On the other hand, the trial levels of the Three Sects' True Persons did not have a winner-takes-all, but took care of everyone, even giving opportunities to monster beasts like Yuan Yuan Dasheng.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had learned that even if he passed the trial levels again and claimed positions, the previous power positions of the same path would be considered automatically abandoned.

That is to say, by passing the trial levels, a trial disciple could master at most three positions.

The Three Sects' True Persons encouraged fairer competition, wanting to leave opportunities for latecomers.

Unlike Ning Zhuo thought hard, and finally felt it was better to start from mechanical techniques and make an issue out of the monster beast swarm.

He estimated the situation and judged that next, the Nascent Soul-level Fire-Walking Snake would likely commit another offense.

If he could find a more efficient way to eliminate Red Flame Monster Beasts and protect the Lava Xian Gong, there would also be a considerable achievement gain.

Unlike Ning Zhuo possessed profound mechanical attainments, and he quickly found a direction. That was to modify the Fire-Explosion Monkey so that it could steal the core inside the Fire-Walking Snake's body.

The core was the Fire-Walking Snake's lifeblood; if it were stolen, the Fire-Walking Snake's combat power would plummet by ninety-nine percent.

In this regard, what gave Unlike Ning Zhuo the key inspiration was Yuan Yuan Dasheng's "Looking Back and Stealing" and "Shattering Yang Hand."

Sure enough, as Unlike Ning Zhuo expected.

In the following days, the Nascent Soul-level Fire-Walking Snake committed offenses repeatedly.

The Fire-Walking Snake group constantly penetrated in.

Clearing out Fire-Walking Snakes became a task that cultivators in the Xian Gong were exhausted from dealing with.

The progress of Unlike Ning Zhuo's plan to modify the Fire-Explosion Monkey was quite small.

In actual research, he found there were too many problems to solve, and many links required experiments, trying out new mixed materials, etc.

He had confidence that he could succeed in research, but the key was time!

His time was too tight.

However, in this arduous process, he was not without gains.

He managed to get his hands on Zheng Jian's belongings from before his death.

His subordinates in the black market demonstrated their value.

But he didn't get many of Ning Ning Xiaohui's relics. It is said that Ning Ning Xiaohui's grandmother was quite devastated, seemingly falling into madness, shrinking into Ning Ning Xiaohui's room day and night, pathologically keeping everything related to Ning Ning Xiaohui by her side.

She looked at the objects and thought of the person, sometimes crying, sometimes screaming crazily. Whether it was the crying or the screaming, it sounded creepy.

Unlike Ning Zhuo cremated the relics of both people in the severe-case treatment room.

He successfully supplemented Zheng Jian's spirituality to ten percent.

Ning Ning Xiaohui's relics were few, only pushing the spirituality of the Floating Ice Bai Yu Hand mechanism to sixty percent.

Sixty percent spirituality... although it could perform the Ice-Fat Jade Hand, it was only enough to perform it once. According to Unlike Ning Zhuo's estimation, after performing the innate talent, the spirituality of the Floating Ice Bai Yu Hand would inevitably be greatly damaged, nearing scrap.

Besides this, other gains were Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu.

Under Unlike Ning Zhuo's care, Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu's achievements continued to soar, growing rapidly.

The number of spots for the Palace Examination was limited, and if Unlike Ning Zhuo could help them squeeze into the Palace Examination list, it would also be very helpful to Unlike Ning Zhuo himself.

"The key to the problem now is still my achievements!"

The Nascent Soul-level Fire-Walking Snake came to commit an offense again.

Meng Kui repelled it.

Originally, everyone thought this was a victory they had gradually gotten used to.

But accompanied by the collapse of a core building, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit in the main hall suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, succeeded, I finally succeeded!"

The golden light shield that had been surrounding the Lava Xian Gong suddenly revealed many holes.

No matter how magic power was poured into these holes, they just wouldn't close.

Once the holes appeared, massive amounts of Red Flame Monster Beasts poured in like a flood.

The cultivators were caught off guard, and with their numbers in a huge disadvantage, they could only watch helplessly as large numbers of buildings collapsed one after another under the beast swarm.

Some were even smashed into pieces, with stones, broken wood, etc., splashing everywhere.

Building after building became ruins, and roaring flames quickly spread, as if to swallow everything in the Xian Gong!

Zhu Zhu Xuanji shouted thoughtfully, stepping forward at the critical moment to serve as the battlefield commander.

Under his command, the cultivators finally managed to prop up a defensive line, slightly curbing the offensive of the Red Flame Monster Beasts.

However, looking down at the Lava Xian Gong, most of its outer circle had been lost, becoming a place where countless monster beasts ran wild.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

Main hall of the Lava Xian Gong.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit danced with joy: "Sure enough, sure enough, the Palace Examination has also been moved forward!"

This was something that could be traced.

In the past years, whenever the Lava Xian Gong was damaged to a certain stage, it would automatically lower the selection standard for cultivators by one level.

From top to bottom, it lowered all the way—Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, Qi Condensation... until now, the Palace Examination, which had been some distance away, was greatly moved forward because the Xian Gong was in a dangerous situation.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo, just wait to be eliminated!"

"Once the Palace Examination comes out, it will settle everyone's achievements in advance. You have no hope at all!"

"Hahaha, it's one thing that you used Fire-Explosion Monkeys to blow up the Xian Gong, but you even used the Five Elements Artillery Tower to blow it up..."

"Hahaha!"

"You fell into the trap; no matter how cunning and insidious you are, you fell into my Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's trap."

At the same time.

Unlike Ning Zhuo only felt a tightness in the index finger of his left hand.

Zheng Jian's innate talent, Heart-Piercing Insight, suddenly activated.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was worrying about his achievements, and when Heart-Piercing Insight activated, it suddenly made him terrified.

"Not good!"

"The Lava Xian Gong is in danger, I'm afraid the Palace Examination is going to be moved forward."

"I feel very bad in my heart; with insufficient achievements this time, I'm afraid I'll be squeezed out of the Palace Examination list."

"What should I do?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth fiercely: "It seems I can only take the last path."

"I must offer up my My Buddha Heart Demon Seal!!!"

A teleportation circle appeared, and Unlike Ning Zhuo took out the treasure seal resolutely.

In an instant, his mother's words echoed in his ears: "My son Unlike Ning Zhuo, this treasure seal was planted with the means of the Flying Cloud Kingdom by your mother, and it is most intimate with you. You must keep it well; it is of high grade and will be a powerful help for your cultivation in the future."

"No, no, no!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was shocked at this moment.

Although it had long known that Unlike Ning Zhuo possessed the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, it still hadn't thought that without any information, Unlike Ning Zhuo would offer up the treasure seal in advance!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit resisted fiercely, wishing it could roar in Unlike Ning Zhuo's ears: "What are you handing over? This treasure seal is so good, and you're going to abandon it? Are you worthy of your mother?!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes shone with a look of determination.

"Since I can even use my life as a bet, why would I be reluctant to part with a mere magic treasure?"

"Hand over, hand over, hand over!"

The My Buddha Heart Demon Seal was thrown into the teleportation circle and quickly disappeared before Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes.

In an instant, Unlike Ning Zhuo felt empty inside.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and silently endured the violent agitation in his heart.

A moment later.

A piece of information was transmitted directly into everyone's minds—

Lava Xian Gong Palace Examination begins!
