Chapter 40: The Ranking List with Only One Person

Unlike Ning Zhuo increased his strength.

Whoosh.

One of the diamond-shaped colored diamonds suddenly shot out and hit the red copper wall.

Between the colored diamond and the circular ring, there was a thin silk thread connecting them.

Unlike Ning Zhuo tugged on it and discovered that although the silk thread was terrifyingly thin, it was very tough.

He walked a few more steps, arrived in front of the wall, and observed the colored diamond that had shot out carefully.

He had originally thought that this colored diamond had shot into the wall like a nail. But he discovered that the colored diamond had actually fused into one with the wall surface.

The part where it contacted the wall had completely transformed into red copper, and only near the thin thread could a faint blue-purple light still be seen.

It was as if it had originally been one with the red copper wall, and only a small bump had risen on the outside. The bump was connected to the hanging ring.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"How was this achieved?"

"Was a talisman used, or was a micro-formation carved, or was the material of the colored diamond itself different?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's desire to research was ignited, and he wished he could dismantle it on the spot and study it for three days and three nights.

"It's a pity, the timing is not right!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo knew that exploration was the most important thing.

He held the hanging ring, lowered his head to look at his body, and couldn't find a suitable place to wear it.

The puppet Unlike Ning Zhuo's hands and feet were much thinner than the circular ring; the upper arm and forearm were the same thickness, and the thigh and calf were also the same.

Unlike Ning Zhuo wouldn't hold the hanging ring directly in his hand.

When rushing through Room Number Two, he needed to free up both hands. If one hand was occupied, it would be very inconvenient.

This small problem couldn't stump Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Very quickly, he thought of a way.

He first pulled his head off, then put the hanging ring on the position of his neck, and finally reinstalled his head.

In this way, his big head stuck the hanging ring dead.

After installation, Unlike Ning Zhuo pushed the door and entered, officially stepping into Room Number Two.

The door closed powerfully and heavily behind him, and Unlike Ning Zhuo tried to push it again, but it wouldn't budge at all.

Looking at the familiar corridor-style Room Number Two, Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't rush to sprint, but practiced the hanging ring in place for a while.

After practicing to a certain degree, he began to try.

Bang, bang, bang...

After failing several times in a row, Unlike Ning Zhuo was swept back by the giant logs.

His mentality was very stable, completely without the irritability of his first time.

A moment later.

He sprinted to the middle section.

Two giant logs hit over one after another, and Unlike Ning Zhuo jumped into mid-air, with nowhere to dodge.

It didn't matter.

"I have the hanging ring!" Unlike Ning Zhuo thought.

The wooden circular ring stuck under his big head suddenly shot out a colored diamond, which dinged and embedded into the ceiling.

The silk thread was very tough, and Unlike Ning Zhuo felt the force, his neck tilted, and he hung directly in mid-air, not falling down, successfully dodging the giant log.

Another giant log fell from the sky and stabbed down.

Unlike Ning Zhuo canceled the magic power, the silk thread broke from the root instantly, and the wooden ring and the shot-out colored diamond completely separated.

Unlike Ning Zhuo fell down, dodged the giant log, and then shot out another colored diamond, which nailed into the giant log.

When the giant log retracted, it brought him flying along with it.

Just like that, Unlike Ning Zhuo's head tilted from time to time, and in a hanging posture, he successfully passed through Room Number Two and arrived in front of the second door.

"It, it is worthy of being called the hanging ring. This name is quite high-level. Concise and comprehensive, just right." Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed in his heart and stretched out both hands to straighten his big head.

Using the hanging ring, the difficulty of passing through Room Number Two dropped sharply.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's body was complete now, only his left leg was cracked, and one finger on his right hand was broken.

This was a world of difference from the miserable state he was in during his first exploration.

"If I had chosen the hanging ring last time?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo thought about it and shook his head slightly: "That would have been even worse."

The hanging ring would aggravate the consumption of spiritual power.

If he had chosen the hanging ring during his first exploration, Unlike Ning Zhuo would have been unable to move because his spiritual power was exhausted.

Unlike Ning Zhuo touched the second door.

The reward information reached the bottom of his heart: two spirit stones, a mechanical component glass flying knife, and the spell "Grip Fire Technique."

During his last exploration, Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul had been weakened to the bottom, and he didn't have time to look closely, so he chose the spell in a hurry.

Now he was in good condition and could choose calmly.

"The number of spirit stone rewards has risen to two."

"The glass flying knife is an attack-type mechanical component."

"The Grip Fire Technique... it seems to be a set with the Ice-Embracing Technique."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual power was only thirty percent left, and he didn't have much room for choice, so he directly chose the first reward—two spirit stones.

After looking back at Room Number Two, he pushed the door open forcefully and officially entered Room Number Three.

Information came—defeat the Kung Fu puppet, pass through Room Number Three, and enter the preparation room.

"It's not Room Number Four anymore?" Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart stirred slightly.

Room Number Three had a circular structure, the light became darker toward the edges, and the very center was the brightest.

"It's as if it's a circular arena." Unlike Ning Zhuo discovered at a glance the tall and thin wooden puppet standing in the very center of the room.

The puppet was made of yellow wood, and there were black line patterns on its surface. On its chest, two big characters were written vertically: Kung Fu!

This puppet sensed him, and its eyes suddenly lit up with yellow light. It stretched out its wooden thumb to wipe its wooden nose, then its body half-squatted slowly, making a front-and-back half-bow stance. Then, it stretched out one palm in front and put one hand behind its back, setting up a stance for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Its palm in front moved, signaling Unlike Ning Zhuo to attack.

"Interesting." Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled, "I also learned some fist and foot kung fu in the academy."

He had just obtained two spirit stones, didn't lack power, and plus he had the heart to spy on more information, so he immediately took a step forward and started the battle.

After only a dozen breaths, the puppet Unlike Ning Zhuo was about to be beaten to pieces.

"Can't beat it, the gap is too big!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly hugged its waist.

The guarding puppet immediately struggled, using its elbows and fists to strike Unlike Ning Zhuo's back and big head constantly.

The sound of bang, bang, bang was like a sudden rain.

And Unlike Ning Zhuo urged his spiritual power wildly, unleashing his trump card.

Spell—Ice-Embracing Technique!

Crack...

After a series of subtle sounds, the guarding puppet was covered in ice layers and gradually became unable to move.

"Without the Ice-Embracing Technique, it would be impossible to pass this stage at all." Unlike Ning Zhuo tried to destroy the Kung Fu puppet but was warned by information and had to stop.

He half-squatted down, waved his fists, and launched a continuous attack on the puppet's head.

The ice layer was smashed, and the pair of big yellow eyeballs on the puppet's head kept shining.

Unlike Ning Zhuo tried to pry the eyeball components off but received information again—violent destruction of the guarding puppet is not allowed!

The reward options for the third door were still three.

Ten spirit stones, mechanical component small flying box, spell "Wood Grafting Technique."

In the battle just now, in order to activate the Ice-Embracing Technique, he had consumed a lot of spiritual power, so Unlike Ning Zhuo chose ten spirit stones for the sake of stability.

He pushed the door open and entered the preparation room.

The preparation room had a spacious space, far exceeding the first three rooms. In the center of the preparation room stood a five-sided stone pillar.

One of the sides of the stone pillar had written on it:

Qi Condensation Ranking.

First Place: Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo:...

The stone pillar turned with a click, turning to another side, on which was written:

Assessment Progress Ranking.

First Place: Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Below it, there was no one else, only he was on the list.

Unlike Ning Zhuo tilted his head: Hmm?!

After a few breaths, Unlike Ning Zhuo was as if he had been electrocuted, his body and mind shook fiercely, and he completely realized the severity of the problem.

"Terrible!"

"I, am I going to be exposed?!" ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
