Chapter 376: Unlike Ning Zhuo vs. Chang Yan

The next day, Lin Shanshan asked again.

Unlike Ning Zhuo told her that he had understood the first map and was currently studying the second one.

Lin Shanshan was very surprised and asked Unlike Ning Zhuo to demonstrate it on the spot.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo did so, Lin Shanshan's heart was shaken, and she said directly: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, I originally thought that you could comprehend one map in the remaining few days, which would be lucky. I didn't expect your insight to be so amazing; I have eyes but don't know genius, and I underestimated you too much."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was humble and sincere.

He knew that his insight was not so outstanding; the greatest contributor was the Spirit-Hidden Willow.

Speaking of the Spirit-Hidden Willow, with its help, Sun Lingtong also understood the three maps, taking an hour less than Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Sun Lingtong's insight was extraordinary.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had felt this a long time ago.

The blade techniques Sun Lingtong created himself were all very sharp. It could be said that his talent was quite outstanding.

On the third day, Lin Shanshan asked, and Unlike Ning Zhuo told her that he had understood the Mountain Night Listening to Waves Map.

On the fourth day, Lin Shanshan asked again, and Unlike Ning Zhuo showed a look of difficulty, saying that he was stuck on the third Tree Bottom Peeking at Heaven Map, feeling that the difficulty was very high.

Lin Shanshan marveled and comforted Unlike Ning Zhuo, saying that this map contained the strongest spells, so the difficulty of comprehension naturally doubled. She told Unlike Ning Zhuo to try to keep a normal heart and not be impatient. With just the two spells now, he already had enough advantage against Chang Yan.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Not enough!"

"Please don't blame me, Miss Lin. I have decided to announce to the outside world that I will not use the Oil-Glossy Water-Slippery Talisman in the battle with Chang Yan."

Lin Shanshan didn't understand and indicated that this move was not tying his own hands?

Unlike Ning Zhuo explained: "Although I have a spiritual talisman to protect my body, I have always been vigilant in my heart, often warning myself not to rely too much on this object."

"Because once you become dependent, it will weaken your spirit of progress and greatly hinder the improvement of your own strength."

"Don't worry, Miss Lin, I am not a pedantic person."

"This experience at the Small Contention Peak should be to exercise myself as much as possible, rather than relying on external objects to show off. What is the point of showing off to these cultivators?"

Lin Shanshan heard these words and looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo with admiration again: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo has such a nature, he will definitely achieve something in the future. Sixteen years old..."

Lin Shanshan sighed. She had seen many teenagers of this age, showing off and arrogant, with their nostrils facing the sky; how could they be as humble and steady as Unlike Ning Zhuo?

"Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, your battle with Chang Yan makes me look forward to it even more."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled: "Success or failure is a matter of no importance. It's just that if I lose to Chang Yan in the future, please don't blame me for failing your cultivation of me, Miss Lin."

"What cultivation, these words of yours, Young Master, really make me ashamed." Lin Shanshan showed a look of shame.

In her view, the main reason Unlike Ning Zhuo could make such huge progress was that he was smart enough, had insight, and worked hard enough.

And in Unlike Ning Zhuo's view, a sparring partner like Lin Shanshan was truly rare. Lin Shanshan was the descendant of a Nascent Soul, had been cultivated since childhood, and all her basic skills were quite solid, without any shortcomings.

Unlike Ning Zhuo really learned a lot from sparring with her.

A few days later.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Chang Yan appeared on the martial arts arena.

Chang Yan was in yellow clothes and six feet tall. His transformation degree was very high, and only his amber pupils were still snake-like vertical pupils.

Humans are the spirits of all things.

Demon cultivators generally turn into human forms. Once the transformation is successful, their spirituality will increase greatly, which is of great benefit to comprehending cultivation techniques, spells, etc.

Therefore, from the degree of transformation, one can also infer some strength of the demon cultivator.

The snake pupils reflected Unlike Ning Zhuo's figure, and Chang Yan opened his mouth: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, I heard that you released news that you will not use the protective spiritual talisman in this battle, is it true?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded and shook his head: "In a critical moment, I will naturally use the spiritual talisman to protect my life. However, relying on the Golden Core spiritual talisman to spar with you, Fellow Daoist Chang Yan, is somewhat winning by unfair means. It is also not conducive to honing my combat skills and the determination to make progress."

"Therefore, this battle and the subsequent battles, as long as I use the Oil-Glossy Water-Slippery Talisman to protect myself, it will be considered that I have voluntarily admitted defeat."

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar.

Someone marveled: "I didn't expect this Unlike Ning Zhuo, although he comes from a great family, to have such spirit!"

Others sneered: "Spiritual talismans are also part of one's own strength. Giving them up specially is like tying one's own hands, simply pedantic!"

Lin Shanshan still blended into the crowd, and hearing someone mocking Unlike Ning Zhuo, she secretly thought: "With people like you, how can you understand Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo?"

Chang Yan got Unlike Ning Zhuo's response and snorted coldly: "Since you have made such a decision, then when you are defeated later, don't regret it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled and gestured: "Please."

The battle began.

Chang Yan stomped his foot and drilled directly into the ground.

His true form was an earth snake, and the earth-escaping technique had long been an instinct for survival, as familiar as breathing.

Generally speaking, when cultivators deal with the earth-escaping technique, they naturally prioritize rising into the air.

In this way, Chang Yan wants to borrow the earth-escaping technique to sneak attack at close range, and he will inevitably miss.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo did not do this, but recited silently, matched with hand seals, and finally squatted down halfway, slamming his palms fiercely on the ground.

Wood-type—Root Vine Entanglement.

Chang Yan shuttled rapidly underground, looking like he was about to rush to the soles of Unlike Ning Zhuo's feet.

At this time, a large number of tree roots and vines grew rapidly underground, guarding the land under Unlike Ning Zhuo's feet like a golden soup.

The roots and vines broke through the mud and wrapped toward Chang Yan rapidly.

Chang Yan hurriedly dodged.

His escape speed was extremely fast, successfully dodging, and secretly channeled Earth-type spells.

Earthquake!

The ground on the martial arts arena shook violently, and the invisible shock force was emitted from the epicenter, surging, impacting Unlike Ning Zhuo and the tree roots and vines under his feet.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and cast the second spell that had been brewing.

Wood-type spell—Pine Wave Green Tide.

This was a spell Unlike Ning Zhuo comprehended from the Mountain Night Listening to Waves Map.

In an instant, a full fifty percent of his magic power surged out.

One part of Fire-type magic power generates two parts of Earth-type magic power. Two parts of Earth-type magic power generate four parts of Metal-type magic power, and four parts of Metal-type magic power generate eight parts of Water-type magic power. Eight parts of Water-type magic power naturally generate sixteen parts of Wood-type magic power!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's Five Elements magic power is evenly distributed, and one part of Fire-type magic power is equal to sixteen parts of Wood-type magic power. One part of Earth-type magic power can be converted into eight parts of Wood-type magic power. One part of Metal-type magic power becomes four parts of Wood-type magic power. One part of Water-type magic power is converted into two parts of Wood-type magic power.

Together with the previous Wood-type magic power, there are thirty-one parts!

The entire magic power expanded by more than six times after the Five Elements generation!

Therefore, the Pine Wave Green Tide spell formed waves of vast and long emerald green tides, pushing horizontally in all directions.

The green waves and the invisible force of the earthquake collided with each other, turning the ground of the entire martial arts arena upside down.

The earth shook, cracks were everywhere, large pieces of soil sank, and some were squeezed and protruded.

Both sides used spells to fight across the air.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, but relying on the excellence of the Three Sects' Upper Techniques and the transformation of the Five Elements generation, he fought Chang Yan, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, to a draw.

But this was not over yet!

Unlike Ning Zhuo shouted, and his palms clapped together in front of his chest.

Wood-type—Tree World Arrival!

Vines broke through the mud, grew out of the ground, rose rapidly, and grew into giant trees.

The thick forest and countless branches and leaves formed an airtight tree prison.

In this huge tree world, Chang Yan was like a bug, trapped in it.

Chang Yan was shocked, feeling the boundless Wood-type magic power constantly eroding toward him.

"He actually knows this move!"

Chang Yan dared not use any Earth-type spells anymore; in this tree world, it was purely adding nutrients to the other party.

He had to channel various magic tools, using the sharpness of the magic tools to cut off the vines and chop down the trees.

However, no matter how many he chopped down, there were as many trees growing in an instant.

If it weren't for the limited range of the martial arts arena, Unlike Ning Zhuo could have expanded the entire tree world.

Chang Yan was a demon cultivator, and in this Southern Bean Kingdom, there was no major force of demon cultivators. Chang Yan was just a loose cultivator.

Being a loose cultivator, his magic tools were unremarkable, all of them were crooked melons and cracked dates.

These magic tools had very little effect, and he didn't even get close to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Chang Yan's strength was Earth-type spells, but he was directly hit by Unlike Ning Zhuo's three rounds of spells, snatching the first opportunity, and the entire battlefield was arranged properly, so Chang Yan had no ability to turn over.

"Hateful!"

"If I had taken the lead in casting Earth-type spells and attacked him, it wouldn't be so ugly now!"

After Chang Yan supported for a little while, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"I concede." Unlike Ning Zhuo jumped down from the treetop, bowed to Chang Yan, and was polite.

Chang Yan's mouth twitched, shook his head, calmed his mood, congratulated Unlike Ning Zhuo coldly, and was the first to retreat from the martial arts arena.

"He won!" Lin Shanshan clenched her fists, excited.

She had long known that Unlike Ning Zhuo had mastered these three Wood-type spells. But witnessing this victory with her own eyes, she still felt somewhat unbelievable.

The first two spells were fine, but the key was the third Tree World Arrival, which was very difficult to cultivate, yet was taken down by Unlike Ning Zhuo in one fell swoop.

"Such insight!" Lin Shanshan sighed with emotion. "This is already on par with the Eldest Senior Brother's comprehension of sword techniques."

The onlookers also sighed.

"I didn't expect Unlike Ning Zhuo to master the Tree World Arrival technique."

"I have seen many Wood-type cultivators, but seeing someone perform this technique with my own eyes is the first time."

"Tree World Arrival is indeed powerful, but Unlike Ning Zhuo's magic power reserve is also quite thick, and it lasted for so long without any signs of decay."

"If you ask me, his tactical choice was very correct. It was precisely because he snatched the first opportunity that Chang Yan was unable to turn over. Chang Yan was restrained by Wood-type spells and lost the first opportunity, so he lost so simply."

The cultivators analyzed the battle situation, and there were indeed many insights.

Regarding this battle, the public thought it would be a long-lasting battle of consumption. Unexpectedly, under Unlike Ning Zhuo's strong Wood-type spells, it ended so quickly.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo won Chang Yan's cave dwelling, but it is far from over. His combat power can definitely impact the top ten cave dwellings."

Just as the cultivators were guessing Unlike Ning Zhuo's next challenge target, Unlike Ning Zhuo had already left the martial arts arena and walked side by side with Lin Shanshan on the tree-lined path.

"Miss Lin, I would like to ask you for a favor." During the exchange, Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly said, "This might make you feel embarrassed." ===== CHAPTER 377 =====
