Chapter 55: Everyone is a protagonist

Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't hear, couldn't see, and couldn't smell; he fell into a dark world again.

But he was very happy.

"I finally got in!"

"In the future, I can actively enter the Molten Lava Xian Gong in this way."

The previous method was too passive.

"Perhaps, I can also activate the 'Trial Disciple' imprint and actively leave the Xian Gong?"

This conjecture lingered in his heart, and there was no need to verify it for the time being.

While thinking, Unlike Ning Zhuo mobilized the Five Elements Qi Law and burst out spiritual power.

The external spiritual power quickly pulled the first mechanism component.

Like the previous two times, it was still the left arm.

Afterwards, it was the head.

It was also the same as before, still a big head.

Unlike Ning Zhuo assembled himself with ease, then hopped down the small mountain piled up with mechanism components.

He ran toward the door, limping.

This time, to save some time, he didn't focus on finding legs and feet of the same length.

"With the hanging ring, even if I limp, it's enough to pass the second room."

"The top priority is still to hide my name and bury my identity as soon as possible. I am on at least three leaderboards; according to the most conservative estimate, I need to run three trips."

As a result, when Unlike Ning Zhuo touched the door, he didn't see the reward option of the hanging ring.

The three options were: one spirit stone, return-force disc silk (mechanism accessory), and a breath of qi (spell).

"No hanging ring?!" Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, he slapped his head. The wooden small palm and the big head collided, making a bang.

"Mistake!"

"I should have speculated this long ago."

"During the second exploration, I discovered that the Ice-Holding Spell was replaced by the Fire-Holding Spell."

"This shows that the reward options are not fixed. It is very likely because I chose them before, so they will rotate."

"Since spells are like this, mechanism-type rewards should also have such changes."

"It's just that the spirit stone option remains unchanged all year round, making my cognition in this aspect not sharp."

As long as one is a person, one will make mistakes.

Unlike Ning Zhuo will also make mistakes.

Of course, it was mainly because his mood of wanting to hide his name and bury his identity was truly a bit urgent.

Staring at the three rewards in front of him, Unlike Ning Zhuo thought for a while and soon chose the return-force disc silk.

Spells definitely couldn't be chosen; Unlike Ning Zhuo still wanted to successfully get off the leaderboard this time.

Although he could actively enter the palace through the Trial Disciple imprint, this mechanism hadn't been thoroughly explored yet, and there might be other restrictions.

"For example, must there be an interval of several days before entering the palace for the second time?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't want to cause extra trouble at this juncture. Right now, what he needed most was to get off the leaderboard!

He didn't want to take unnecessary risks.

He didn't choose spirit stones either.

His spiritual power was very abundant now.

The return-force disc silk was transmitted over.

This was a circle of silk made of metal, relatively thick. Looking closely, one could see that the surface of the disc silk had a mixture of gold and silver luster.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was very familiar with this.

He sat on the ground and dismantled both of his lower legs.

Then, he pulled out a section of return-force disc silk and wound it around his flexible fingers, winding it into a shape that spiraled upward, like a whirlwind.

Then, he installed this section of spiraling metal silk at the knee position, adding a new connection method between the lower leg and the thigh.

Finally, he reinstalled the lower legs.

He did the same, adding return-force disc silk to his elbows as well.

He stood up, tried moving a few times, and felt it was not bad.

There was nothing to practice in the first room, so Unlike Ning Zhuo pushed the door and entered the second room directly.

He ran on the retreating floor tiles.

He had return-force disc silk between his lower legs and thighs. Whenever he landed, the return-force disc silk would compress. When compressed to a certain degree, the return-force disc silk would burst out a force, forcing itself to return to its normal length. In this way, it brought more power to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Before, Unlike Ning Zhuo passed the level by running honestly. This time, he hopped and jumped, and every jump distance was very far.

The first two times, he ran to the middle of the road and couldn't keep up with the retreating speed of the floor tiles. But this time, his running and jumping efficiency was high; after passing the middle section, he still exceeded the retreating speed of the floor tiles by a margin.

The giant wood struck, but Unlike Ning Zhuo was prepared; he jumped lightly and landed directly on the giant wood.

"Before, I needed to jump with both feet, but now the height of a single foot and the take-off speed are both stronger than using both feet the first two times!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo jumped between the giant wood and the walls, occasionally landing on the floor tiles.

He tried and failed twice, but by the third time, he successfully crossed the final difficulty and landed in front of the door.

"Return-force disc silk is more suitable for passing the second room than the hanging ring." Unlike Ning Zhuo made a judgment in his heart.

At this moment, he thought of the speed-run leaderboard.

"The Three Sects Master arranged these levels, besides assessment, also with the intention of teaching."

"The so-called speed-run is actually encouraging us trial disciples to continuously polish our skills and train our ability to use mechanism creations."

"What would happen if Meng Chong came to pass this level?"

"Could he skillfully use these mechanism components?"

"No, the deciding factor is not this, but his puppet. The puppet brought by super-grade talent must be much stronger than mine!"

Before raiding the Purple Sun Courtyard, Unlike Ning Zhuo also saw the scene of Meng Chong back-attacking Han Ming through mechanism creations.

"Although Meng Chong's medicinal power was surging at that time, surrounded by dissipated magic power, he was able to strike such a powerful attack because of the talent Galloping Thunder."

Unlike Ning Zhuo himself is a human-shaped library, very clear about the significance of super-grade talent, but after seeing it with his own eyes, it still shocked his soul.

What is super-grade?

Lower-grade, middle-grade, and upper-grade are all on the same level. Super-grade, however, is above the conventional, an existence beyond equality!

Often, one appears among a million cultivators.

Cultivators who possess super-grade talent, as long as they grow up, are all proud talents of major sects and pillars of the country.

"The Meng family is a super family of the Nandou Kingdom, with thousands and thousands of clansmen. With such a huge number, every once in a while, a super-grade talent will appear."

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't have any jealousy.

Since he has the lower-grade early wisdom talent and the mysterious arm talent, why can't others have them?

Why can't others possess better ones than him?

Why?

The year Unlike Ning Zhuo's mother died, Unlike Ning Zhuo understood a truth—this world does not revolve around him!

He is only the protagonist of his own life, and everyone is the protagonist of their own life.

All protagonists perform various grievances, hatreds, grand plans, and conspiracies on the big stage of the world.

"It is precisely because of this that the world is wonderful."

Meng Chong hasn't come in yet, but Unlike Ning Zhuo has already felt a pressure from behind.

Hiding his name and burying his identity is just a bottom line to stabilize his current first-mover advantage.

And as Meng Chong officially joins, how long can this first-mover advantage be maintained?

Unlike Ning Zhuo has no grasp at all.

All he can do now is continue to move forward. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
