All of this is in his plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this a first-class genius? So confident in himself! Even against the Ban family and Ban Ji, he is full of confidence. He firmly believes that even if he sharpens his spear at the last minute and starts learning, he can use this to suppress and intercept Ban Ji?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this an incomparable confidence, or another form of arrogance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on the ground, examining himself, and also reviewing the battle just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reflected: \"Is this no move beats having a move? It is indeed powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Ning Zhuo think of a saying among Confucian cultivators: \"Follow one's heart's desire, without overstepping the rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-level Confucian cultivators can act as they please without exceeding social rules and laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't the so-called no move beats having a move 'following one's heart's desire, without overstepping the rules' in martial arts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seemingly every move has no moves, following one's heart's desire, but in fact, it starts from the actual battle situation, regardless of body force or weapon use, all conform to the principles of martial arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo put away his sigh and thought of another important thing: \"My learning in martial arts has reached its limit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he had the means of hanging his head from the beam and pricking his thigh with an awl that he hadn't used, he had reached the limit and could not progress further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Ning Zhuo's martial arts realm stayed at the Martial Artisan level, and there was still a long way to go before the Master level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the signs of the Master level is no move beats having a move, a standard Ning Zhuo was far from reaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demonic cultivators I absorbed didn't have anyone who reached the Master level of martial arts. So, the foundation is not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if there were, it would be impossible for me to reach the Master level solely based on others' memories and experiences!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason here is very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reach no move beats having a move, one needs fine and subtle basic skills, combo moves, and abundant and flexible tactical thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if others are martial arts Masters, and Ning Zhuo absorbs their experience and memories, Ning Zhuo cannot immediately satisfy the above two needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others' bodies are different from Ning Zhuo's, height, arm span, flexibility, etc., all have differences. The weapons used by others are also not completely consistent with those used by Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These differences mean that even if Ning Zhuo masters moves, combo moves, etc., he cannot completely replicate them, he can achieve subtlety, but it is impossible to achieve 'Subtlety'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others' temperaments are also different from Ning Zhuo's. This leads to different choices in many cases. Tactical strategies will also be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ning Zhuo wants to possess \"rich and flexible tactical thinking\", he must practice hard himself and fight constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master-level martial arts cannot be easily replicated. It has very strong personal characteristics, so it must rely on my own hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless, I can obtain the infusion of the realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ning Zhuo's martial arts realm were directly raised to the Master level, or even higher, the Grandmaster level or the Sect Master level, wanting to \"no move beats having a move\" would be very easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back now, Ning Zhuo felt more and more that the opportunity of the Five Elements God Lord obtained at the Wan Yao Gate was truly of huge value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, even if I can't reach the Master level, refining this long spear is equivalent to having the help of a spear technique Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The preciousness of the Nine-Layer Profound Weapon Armor lies here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it is just an armor plate after all, an external object, only following the reaction of martial arts after stress, which cannot compare to the cultivator himself reaching the Master level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo thought of Ban Ji again: \"According to the information, he has only practiced close-quarters weapons for a few years. It is highly probable that he cannot reach the Master level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless there is an opportunity, or specific talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, my confidence in dealing with him has greatly increased. As long as I stop him from obtaining nine Profound Weapon Armors, it is a success!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Encountering the bronze shield is indeed a surprise. Currently, everything is within the estimate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's behavior of practicing while learning was certainly not a temporary idea, but a meticulous plan established before setting off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunities for live combat in the front were actually very precious, and once missed, they would not come again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo grasped every opportunity for live combat, willing to spend more time and energy to greatly improve his live combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when he encountered the bronze shield and bronze long spear, he immediately realized the huge results of his learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I hadn't mastered the way of reality and illusion, I wouldn't be able to sense 'force'. Even with a shield for protection, my bones would be shattered by the long spear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I have mastered five Profound Weapon Armors, and the time is even faster than planned. Promoting to the third round is no longer a big problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was all because he encountered the bronze shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, the sixth Profound Weapon Armor will be stronger, and the combat power will have a qualitative improvement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to go all out, and at the same time ensure my physical state, not being too seriously injured. Otherwise, when the number of people meets the standard and the third round opens, I will face a complex situation of multi-party melee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo did not rush to get up, but used his spiritual sense to mobilize, pouring in magic power, letting the five Profound Weapon Armors float around him, constantly practicing moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I created the three-style saber and sword combo before, can I let more Profound Weapon Armors participate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had a clear control of the situation, no longer in a hurry, and began to practice again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He practiced for a while and had a terrible headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two weapons combo was already very difficult. Now wanting to do the third, the fourth, it was very impractical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Ning Zhuo began to call out secretly again: \"Boss, help me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming, little brother!\" Sun Lingtong had been preparing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Ning Zhuo was breaking through the levels alone, but in reality, the two were working together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brothers are of one mind, their combined strength cuts through metal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan's right arm muscles bulged, waving the bronze sword, trying to cut off the continuous offensive of the enemy soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth Profound Weapon Armor he faced was a city-breaking hammer, very huge, specifically used to attack city gates. But now it was only dealing with Ao Pan alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan's sword momentum was fierce, but the city-breaking hammer was truly barbaric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every hard clash, the bronze sword made a painful groan. And the huge counter-shock force made Ao Pan's arm bones want to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan retreated again and again, the hard-as-iron stone ground under his feet had already cracked into countless spider webs, and a large amount of gravel splashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan's left hand grabbed the bronze long spear floating beside him fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long spear pushed forward, the tip of the spear broke through the air, drawing the trajectory of the whip technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First spear block, then sword came, finally blocking the city-breaking hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's now!\" Ao Pan patted his waist fiercely and pulled out the bronze long whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the long whip in hand, Ao Pan's entire temperament underwent a subtle change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whip shadow appeared, and then disappeared suddenly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it appeared again, the long whip had already entangled the hammer head, the whip tip like a living thing, stabbing fiercely into the hammer body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless spider-web-like cracks instantly covered the hammer head, and the city-breaking hammer stopped abruptly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan pounced, opened his arms, hugged the city-breaking hammer into his arms, and refined it with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the bronze long whip broke inch by inch, unable to be used anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This long whip was the first bronze ware I encountered. This is luck, and also a regret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, Ao Pan still trusted the long whip more. This was the weapon he was most skilled at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the long whip was gone, the bronze wares around Ao Pan were no longer so handy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan packed up the broken whip strips and continued on his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle between Tie Zheng and the Profound Weapon Armor had entered the most intense moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze saber in Tie Zheng's hand danced like a wheel, cutting off three frost arrows in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice chips splashed, cold air spread along the saber body, instantly covering the bronze saber with a layer of solid ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng decisively let go of the saber, and with a casual move, summoned a bronze long stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used the long stick to push away a flame arrow, but the arrow exploded suddenly, forming a surging wave of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire wave burned charred marks on his exposed skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng retreated violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his opponent—a bronze bow floated in the distance, the bowstring automatically opening and closing like a living thing, dark blue ice arrows and fiery red flame arrows alternating precisely, weaving a death arrow net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng waved the long stick, guarding steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan was a Golden Core body cultivator, and his main cultivation technique determined that he mainly practiced body refining. Tie Zheng, however, was a Golden Core martial cultivator, and he had at least Master-level attainments for various weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng was already over three hundred and seventy years old, and in such a long cultivation time, he was an orthodox martial cultivator, so reaching the Master level was not difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because he had such attainments that a cold light flashed in Tie Zheng's eyes at this time, and he knew very clearly in his heart: \"Here, most of my means cannot be used.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I break through the arrow net, I will at least have moderate injuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This won't do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng collected information and knew that there were many situations in previous years where strong people did not restrain themselves in the second round and fought with all their might, leading to being directly plunged into a melee after being suddenly teleported to the third round, and the final results were not very ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My physical foundation is not as good as Ao Pan's, so I need to maintain the state of my body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that's the case, then it's you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack, Sweeping Light!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were twelve beast-head copper bell balls hanging on his waist, and at this moment, one of them trembled violently, instantly detached, and shot into mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball emitted a shrill sound in the air and cracked suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stream of bronze liquid like water flowed out, and in the next moment, it condensed into a sturdy bronze leopard-shaped saber beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had no eyes or ears, and its entire body was composed of countless high-speed vibrating fine blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze bow and arrow responded very quickly, and three arrows were fired in succession in an instant. Two ice arrows blocked the road, and one flame arrow shot straight at the saber beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweeping Light moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its speed was so fast that the ice arrows only pierced the afterimage, and the flame arrow was thrown far behind by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze bow and arrow fired continuously, forming waves of arrow nets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber beast Sweeping Light was agile and fierce, penetrated the arrow net, and bit the bronze bow body in one bite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Done.\" Seeing this scene, Tie Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave were in an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't there a magic array prohibiting cultivators from using other means?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Tie Zheng didn't cheat. This saber beast of his is actually transformed from a Profound Weapon Armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng cleverly used the rules of the Profound Armor Cave, making the questioning cultivators close their mouths one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In previous years, there were also cultivators who used their own Profound Weapon Armors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also within the scope allowed by the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Armor Cave hoped to see such a scene, where the Profound Weapon Armors circulating outside could show their value, which would help the long-term operation of the entire cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hao-surnamed cultivator thought to himself: \"Tie Zheng brought a bronze ware, and he even transformed it into a living saber beast. This advantage is very large.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn't get injured on the sixth Profound Weapon Armor, and his state was also well maintained.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe, he will confirm the final victory because of this and become the first place in this Xingyun Trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, the Hao-surnamed cultivator went to see Lu Zeng's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zeng was the last of the three Golden Core cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was also actively fighting the sixth bronze ware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, five bronze wares took turns attacking, the offensive was continuous. Lu Zeng used attack as defense, occupying the upper hand, and his footing was very steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His concerns were the same as Ning Zhuo, Tie Zheng, and others, so he also displayed his skilled mechanism manipulation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this way, although Lu Zeng was not injured, the consumption of his spiritual sense was huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wangxing was the first to engage with the sixth bronze ware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the battlefield, he was forced to jump up and down, extremely embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave pointed at him, like watching a joke. They had long expected this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wangxing had been taking shortcuts by relying on the specialty of his own flesh and blood before. But when it came to the sixth Profound Weapon Armor, it could consume magic power and display sword light and saber energy, etc., which was too destructive to the flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wangxing had no attainments in mechanism manipulation, and his use of weapons was also very basic, which made him immediately fall into an absolute predicament when facing the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhang Wangxing, it was Rust Disaster Artisan and Ban Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji put away his broken fingers properly. He practiced demonic arts, but mainly practiced the Upper Dantian Divine Sea, his spiritual sense was strong, but his flesh was weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still couldn't regrow his fingers, and this kind of completely severed wound couldn't grow granulation like Ning Zhuo, eventually making up for the gap and connecting the fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the bronze saber with one arm, showing a style he hadn't had before. Even facing the bronze sword spitting sword light, he could parry and occasionally counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having a saber in hand is different!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bronze saber itself is Master-level, using it for live combat, every move is a Master teaching me hand-in-hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of learning really makes me unable to stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With more such live combat times, the time for me to be promoted to a Master-level martial artist will definitely be greatly shortened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another place, Rust Disaster Artisan was exerting his talent with all his might, attempting to rust the sixth Profound Weapon Armor he was facing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was very poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Weapon Armor had magic power protection, causing Rust Disaster Artisan's talent to hit a wall repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo held his forehead, feeling dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Sun Lingtong were deducing together, which was too brain-burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brothers were not deducing any weapon combo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo listened to Sun Lingtong's opinion: \"Little Zhuo, rather than conceiving any combo of saber, sword, spear, fist, and shield, it's better to use them to form a battle formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are all familiar with battle formations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And many of your weapons are already dilapidated. In the third round, it's a big melee again. Even if we conceive a combo technique now, can you really use it then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you grab similar weapons from others, they are just similar, which will cause huge damage to the effectiveness of the combo technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead, it's better for us to design a battle formation directly. In the future, filling in new Profound Weapon Armors can also join the battle formation, which is more stable and safer for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing these words, Ning Zhuo nodded heavily: \"Boss, you are right, I listen to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2841,"2026-06-17T23:33:14.591Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ae9e311061c2c891256afd5a636072bae72c6ebeee8ceb4d9921effa35a583a7","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-763","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-761",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
