Chapter 41: I Don't Want to Be on the Ranking List!

~8 min read 1,473 words

Magma Xian Gong.

Inside the preparation room.

Unlike Ning Zhuo ran in small steps to the front of the five-sided stone pillar.

He discovered that the five faces of the stone pillar all had ranking lists. They were the Qi Condensation Ranking, Essence Refinement Ranking, Spirit Refinement Ranking, Assessment Progress Ranking, and Stage Speed-Run Ranking.

Good heavens, there was also his name on the Stage Speed-Run Ranking, and he was the only one on it as well.

Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't care about thinking about the information hidden in these ranking lists, nor did he care why he was the only one on the list; he just wanted to know now: how could he get his name off!

"The four major powers can't even protect the geniuses of the Qi Condensation stage; if I were exposed, the result would be unimaginable."

"The Three Sects' Ascendants arranged such ranking lists, presumably to increase competition, spur, and motivate. But a small body like mine can't bear it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo circled the five-sided stone pillar, and as the stone pillar rotated, he followed it.

The two characters "Unlike Ning Zhuo" on the stone pillar were carved in relief, protruding outward.

"Can I grind it off?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo jumped up, but couldn't reach his name. He was the only one on the entire ranking list, so he was in first place, and his position was also the highest.

Hanging ring!

Ding.

The blue-purple diamond-shaped colored diamond shot onto the ceiling and fused with the roof, very firmly.

The big head stuck the wooden ring. The inside of the wooden ring rotated on its own, retracting a long section of thin thread, smoothly pulling Unlike Ning Zhuo's body to rise rapidly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's head was tilted, gradually rising, until it was level with his own name.

He reached out, trying to grind off his name, but discovered that not a single stone chip had been produced.

The stone pillar was very solid!

Unlike Ning Zhuo reviewed his own means; the only Ice-Embracing Technique certainly wouldn't work, so there was no need to waste time and spiritual power.

"Must, must solve this problem!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo knew he had no way to rely on himself, so while hanging, he tilted his head and looked around.

Only at this moment did he start to properly observe this unique room.

According to the information, this was a preparation room, which was different from Room Number One, Room Number Two, and Room Number Three.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took a look, and sure enough, it was so.

The entire preparation room was square, presenting a square structure.

The room's walls and ceiling were still copper, but they were blue copper.

The light didn't know where it was emanating from, and the room was rippling with faint sea-blue light.

The center of the room was the five-sided stone pillar, and five or six mechanical pedestals were piled against the wall, with many mechanical components hanging on the wall, dazzling to the eyes. There were also several manual worktables, and the tables had complete mechanical tools.

Seeing these facilities and tools, hope was rekindled in Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart.

"Perhaps, I can use these tools to grind off my name."

Unlike Ning Zhuo manipulated the hanging ring, lengthened the thin thread, and let himself fall to the ground again.

He dragged the thin silk thread, ran in small steps, arrived in front of a wall, and reached out to hold a torch hanging on the wall.

Just as he touched the torch, a piece of information was conveyed to the bottom of his heart.

Using the torch requires payment!

The specific standard for payment is calculated based on the duration.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was astonished for a moment, then suddenly understood: "No wonder the number of spirit stone rewards for passing the room is getting higher and higher!"

"In the assessment, these spirit stones are not just sources of spiritual power, but also money."

Unlike Ning Zhuo agreed to pay in his heart, only then successfully taking down the torch.

The torch was named the "Welding Torch" and was one of the common tools for making mechanisms.

Unlike Ning Zhuo grabbed the welding torch and ran toward the center of the preparation room again.

He ran a few steps, kicked the ground fiercely, cooperated with the rotation of the wooden ring on his neck, and the thin thread retracted rapidly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's neck tilted again, and his whole body was hung up again.

He swayed in mid-air, used the inertia of the jump, and returned to the position level with his name again.

Then, he extended the torch forward, activated his spiritual power, and infused it into the torch.

The torch immediately ignited on its own, and the tip of the torch was a flame the color of a duck egg.

Unlike Ning Zhuo increased the infusion of spiritual power, and the flame burst out immediately, like a person in a rage. At the very tip of the flame, the flame rapidly presented a bright blue-purple color.

Unlike Ning Zhuo aimed the tip of the flame at his name and burned it with all his might.

As a result, after roasting for a good while, there wasn't even a trace of burning on the name; it was still so conspicuous, so outstanding.

Unlike Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up.

The hanging ring stuck his chin, rotated on its own with a swish, and lengthened the thin thread. Unlike Ning Zhuo fell down again.

When he hung back up again, the welding torch in his hand was gone, replaced by a file.

This was the "Grinding Tooth Magic Sound File."

Using the canine teeth of fierce beasts as the main material, after infusing spiritual power, it could emit a harsh noise. The noise could adjust its size and range and was used in many places for grinding.

Not just the outside of an object, because the noise could penetrate, the inside of an object could also be ground to be very smooth and flat.

Unlike Ning Zhuo tried using the Grinding Tooth Magic Sound File to take action against his name.

At the same time.

Magma Xian Gong main hall.

On the throne, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit yawned boredly.

The last exploration, Unlike Ning Zhuo had brought it a lot of fun. So, when the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit noticed that Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul had almost recovered, it couldn't wait to pull Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul in.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit wanted to take more fun from Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's second exploration of the Xian Gong, the strange appearance of hanging in Room Number Two, and the embarrassment of being beaten by the Kung Fu puppet, all made the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit quite happy.

But now, Unlike Ning Zhuo wouldn't leave, and was single-mindedly wanting to grind off his name. This made the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit feel very bored.

It directly conveyed information—it is not allowed to destroy the ranking stone pillar!

Unlike Ning Zhuo received this information, and his movements paused slightly.

If it were before, he might have stopped.

But the matter of his name was too significant, and Unlike Ning Zhuo would absolutely not give up just like that.

He secretly gritted his teeth and continued to file his name with the Magic Sound File.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit let out a "heh," feeling a bit angry, and spat out a spark of fire.

The next moment, it directly manipulated the divine ability "Human Life Hanging by a Thread."

Instantly, Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't move.

After a breath, he regained his ability to move and had to stop.

Looking at his name again, the two big characters "Unlike Ning Zhuo" were still so conspicuous, so outstanding.

"What should I do?" In the bottom of his heart, a feeling of despair gradually spread.

"No, I cannot just give up like this."

Unlike Ning Zhuo landed this time and no longer used small tools.

He aimed his gaze at those pedestals.

The forms of the pedestals were varied.

Unlike Ning Zhuo walked past the motion balance bed, formation carving table, jumped over the spiritual power compression bed, White Tiger Edge-Opening Wheel, and finally arrived in front of the Thousand-Jun Heavy Hammer pedestal.

"The Xian Gong's control over me is a matter of an instant."

"I will set up a simple mechanism, only needing to press that first moment, and I can let the heavy hammer strike the stone tablet!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's big head immediately thought of a way to take a shortcut.

He started to get busy everywhere, first picking out mechanical components, then dragging out the Thousand-Jun Heavy Hammer pedestal, and gradually building a catapult. ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
