What about the others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as he expected, the sixth Profound Weapon Armor underwent a qualitative change in combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous Profound Weapon Armors, even if they had the Master-level realm of no move beats having a move, were limited to moves, and the most threatening were the sharpness or heavy blows of the bronze weapons themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by the sixth one, the martial arts of the Profound Weapon Armor began to include the use of magic power, enabling them to display saber light and sword energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Weapon Armor had the ability to strike from a distance, making Ning Zhuo's ability to sense \"force\" almost useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The offensive of the bronze fan was like a storm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was in the center of the storm, retreating steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a short time, the surface of the bronze shield was already covered in scars. The deep cuts left by the wind blades, and the shield body was scorched hot after the impact of the fire wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's arm veins bulged, using the shield to resist the offensive dead, repeatedly isolating the most fatal damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just the shield defending passively, Ning Zhuo's defeat would be certain. But now, he had the other four bronze weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guarding Clumsiness Wheel Slash Formation, activate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four bronze weapons revolved around Ning Zhuo's body, constantly rotating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo manipulated with his spiritual sense, making these weapons take turns to attack, constantly interfering with the bronze fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the bronze fan's offensive was still continuous, but gradually, as Ning Zhuo adapted to this battle and the moving formation was used skillfully, the interference effect of the four bronze weapons began to grow larger and larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze fan was alone, facing the siege, and had to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the offensive weakened, giving Ning Zhuo a chance to breathe and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo naturally did not let go of this good opportunity, gradually stood firm, displayed the moving formation, stirred up waves of offensive, and gradually leveled the score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire wave wrapped in wind blades rolled towards him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo held the shield high, no longer resisting hard, but meeting it at a specific angle, skillfully guiding, unloading force, and rotating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent wind and fire power was guided by the shield, a large part of which was dispersed in other directions, hitting empty, and the other part suppressed the shield surface, but did not bring any damage to Ning Zhuo himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His battle also gradually attracted more and more cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did Ning Zhuo become so fierce?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this Xingyun Trial, there are only a handful of people who can fight like this with the sixth Profound Weapon Armor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This statement is conservative. Even Golden Core cultivators like Ao Pan are not as at ease as him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators were in a trance, and the scene of Ning Zhuo encountering the first bronze ware at the beginning appeared in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dang dang dang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze long spear served as the main force of the attack, with gauntlets, saber, and sword assisting, slashing several times on the bronze fan surface, directly knocking the latter to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo pounced like a bear, suppressed the bronze fan with the shield, Spirit Refining and Law Refining together, and refined the fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sixth—won!\" Ning Zhuo's eyes shone, and his heart was joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave who saw this scene fell into silence again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overall, Ning Zhuo had the least damage in the sixth battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The battle formation he designed is quite reasonable, completely tailored to the Profound Weapon Armors on hand. This battle formation allows him to gather the crowd and exert power greater than one plus one equals two. Conversely, other cultivators take turns using Profound Weapon Armors, which is equivalent to a wheel battle, while Ning Zhuo is a real group attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this—everything is like a dream. I still remember his awkwardness when facing the bronze sword, the battle scene was simply miserable, making people very disappointed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Ning Zhuo suddenly become so strong?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone couldn't react for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then recalled Ning Zhuo's trial journey and discovered the reason one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh! I understand. Ning Zhuo's learning ability is too strong, and he grasped every learning opportunity, practicing unhurriedly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although he stumbled and crawled in the first few times, he could benefit a lot from it every time and grow significantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is no longer what he used to be! So now, he is at ease dealing with the sixth Profound Weapon Armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone reached a consensus on this aspect and looked at Ning Zhuo with admiration again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the image, although Ning Zhuo won, he still frowned, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hao-surnamed cultivator hugged his arms and said at this time: \"I have reason to suspect that Ning Zhuo has acted with purpose and plan since participating in the trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is very clear about his learning ability, and even if his martial arts strength is really not enough, he has full confidence, feeling that he can deal with Ban Ji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then sighed, his expression desolate: \"Ning Zhuo has no pride, obviously he is used to this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a first-class genius, his advantage in a certain aspect is something we can hardly reach in a lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators who secretly envied Ning Zhuo before all let go of it at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the gap is too large, and the laggard realizes that they and Ning Zhuo are completely two kinds of existences, the jealousy in their hearts naturally dissipates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also individual cultivators who were still unwilling, and asked at this moment: \"In this way, isn't Ning Zhuo the strongest right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hao-surnamed cultivator shook his head immediately: \"No, he is just outstanding in strength. He can be considered the upper level of this batch. In the third round of battle, he is facing cultivators. People are full of spirituality, and in terms of strategy, they are not something Profound Weapon Armors can compare to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo's improvised battle formation is relatively superficial and may be cracked by others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the same time, the third round is a melee, the scene is complex, and anything can happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators commented on Ning Zhuo, while the person involved was immersed in thinking, discussing with Sun Lingtong from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong was in the Shuyu Study at this moment, having already displayed the two spells of hanging his head from the beam and pricking his thigh with an awl, and with the blessing of the Luo Book, he went all out to improve the Guarding Clumsiness Wheel Slash Formation with Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Live combat is the best teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live combat just now exposed many problems of the improvised battle formation and also triggered countless inspirations for Sun Lingtong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two reviewed after the battle and felt that instead of rushing to the next station, it was better to stabilize the formation and fully improve the power of the battle formation. The latter choice could fully exert the advantages of the Sun-Ning duo, which was undoubtedly more reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a stick of incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The field of vision of a group of cultivators suddenly widened, the magic array changed, and they all entered the real Profound Armor Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dome was high and wide, and no daylight could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, time used water as a blade and stone as an anvil, carving a strange scene here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crystal stalagmites rose from the ground, like a forest of spears. Stalactite pillars hung down from the top of the head, like a formation of spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave walls had thousands of layers and gullies, and the deposited rock patterns were like solidified surging waves, and also like the forging marks left by craftsmen hammering armor plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of dripping was endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drops of bronze liquid seeped down from the stalactites and dripped into the small lake in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Profound Armor Cave, Qingliu Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake water was condensed, like a huge emerald. The deep bronze color was so rich that it seemed to absorb all brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bronze waters were the main materials for the Profound Weapon Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes of the cultivators were attracted by the lake water. They all knew the rules. Before the third round officially started, cultivators had the opportunity to come to the lakeside, refine some lake water, and obtain a blank Profound Weapon Armor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Weapon Armors they captured before were not theirs. After the Xingyun Trial, these had to be returned to the Profound Armor Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they reached here, the Qingliu Copper they obtained from the bronze lake was a gift from the Profound Armor Cave, belonging exclusively to them. After this Xingyun Trial, they could all be taken away by the cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great array sent out a sound, echoing in the karst cave, announcing the rules of the third round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo listened carefully and found that the rules had not changed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly scanned the others: Ao Pan, Tie Zheng, Lu Zeng, Rust Disaster Artisan, Ban Ji—and a pool of rotten mud-like flesh and blood, with sabers and swords inserted on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh and blood slowly restored to Zhang Wangxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knelt on the spot, coughing blood continuously, his heart was greatly encouraged: \"Finally, finally let me survive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>, he had been taking shortcuts and cheating before, which led to him having no power to fight back when facing the sixth Profound Weapon Armor, and he could only try his best to escape, fighting for time for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already obtained the fifth Profound Weapon Armor and had the qualification to be promoted to the next round, just waiting for the magic array to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo did not find Zhang Dadan and sighed in his heart: \"The cultivators who can be promoted to the third round are not much different from what I expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo did not look for Ban Ji's trouble, but walked towards the lakeside immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top priority was to refine some Qingliu Copper lake water, so that they could obtain a blank Profound Weapon Armor. The more Profound Weapon Armors a cultivator had in hand, the higher the possibility of winning in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zheng was the first to walk to the lakeside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was as solemn as iron, and his feet were deep. His arms slowly raised, palms facing down, pressing against the lake surface from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic power gushed out, sank into the lake, and then rolled up a large amount of Qingliu Copper, slowly hovering in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zheng's magic power continued to pour in, refining quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the eyes of everyone, the Qingliu Copper gradually turned into a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had saber beasts, had various Profound Weapon Armors, but only lacked a shield. In the previous battle, he also deeply perceived that a defensive weapon had a huge effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Pan was unhurried and also came to the lakeside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extracted magic power, condensed it into the shape of a long whip, lashed it on the lake water, and then rolled up a large amount of Qingliu Copper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qingliu Copper was absorbed by the magic power and condensed into a long whip in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zeng was the last of the three Golden Cores to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his natal magic treasure, the Thousand-Mechanism Lotus, and actually threw it directly into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji and Rust Disaster Artisan walked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji asked immediately, his tone impatient: \"Do you have a sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had the bronze saber, and he finally encountered the bronze sword, but he really couldn't beat it, the battle dragged on, and he entered the third round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rust Disaster Artisan handed his bronze sword to Ban Ji without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These weapons could be transferred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, during the period of refining Qingliu Copper, cultivators were also allowed to use means to heal their injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for Ban Ji, this was the best time to retrieve the saber and sword and restore the saber and sword combo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji saw the bronze sword and was dumbfounded: \"This is your bronze sword?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He emphasized the word \"sword\", expressing emphasis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze sword in Rust Disaster Artisan's hand had already shrunk into a dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rust Disaster Artisan shrugged: \"You know my talent Gold Evil. These Profound Weapon Armors are not suitable for me. Every time I use them, they have to endure my Gold Evil erosion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji snorted coldly: \"Keep it for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still wouldn't give up: \"You received the heavy trust of my Ban family and came to assist me. Ban Jie wouldn't have only this arrangement, what other support does she have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rust Disaster Artisan's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slowly: \"Maybe she arranged others, I am just one of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji snorted coldly again and said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to seize the time to heal his injuries first and reconnect his broken fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These broken fingers were carefully picked up and collected by him, which could greatly save healing time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji's time was very tight, he not only had to heal his injuries but also had to refine the Profound Weapon Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he gripped his palm, although weak, he could at least pick up the saber and sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji looked around and found that almost everyone was surrounding the small lake, refining Qingliu Copper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one came to help him during the long time he was treating, which made Ban Ji feel deeply disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already have the bronze saber, so the blank Profound Weapon Armor I refine can only be the structure of a sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, if I had a shield, I would have a huge advantage in the melee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji's eyes paused on Ning Zhuo for a moment, then shifted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged by the lake. The Profound Weapon Armors on his body all turned into pieces and were stored close to his body. So from the outside, Ning Zhuo was empty-handed, and no one knew how many Profound Weapon Armors he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of Qingliu Copper were taken out by Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense and magic power, falling onto his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Qingliu Copper were refined by Ning Zhuo and added to all the Profound Weapon Armors in his hand, performing a comprehensive repair on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Profound Weapon Armors are not durable and easy to wear, but at the same time, because the main materials are special, they are also very easy to repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if others chose to repair, they would at most choose one or two of them. For example, Ao Pan, the bronze long whip he used before, he would rather let it break than repair it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze long whip was the first bronze weapon he encountered, too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, for him, refining a new bronze long whip with all his might was completely in line with his cultivation technique and whip technique, which was the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo treated everyone equally, and this was also his best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had a battle formation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the continuous Qingliu Copper repaired all of Ning Zhuo's Profound Weapon Armors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo then began to condense new Profound Weapon Armors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of the Profound Armor Cave saw Ning Zhuo's Profound Weapon Armor and suddenly looked strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Ning Zhuo's Profound Weapon Armor did not belong to any conventional weapon, it looked like a lower leg of a person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could only sigh: the thinking of a genius is really different from us ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short rest time passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the great array covered over again, suppressing Golden Core to Foundation Establishment, and promoting Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment. There were no differences in cultivation and other aspects among the crowd, trying to compete around the Profound Weapon Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tie Zheng took the lead and walked slowly to Ao Pan: \"Spar a few moves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this action of his, the melee of the third round kicked off. \u003C\u002Fp>",2847,"2026-06-17T23:33:14.591Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7623784a25fb41ba9062cb3d33ed5755b5088dfd06df41d5f4d6c213a20fd283","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-765","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-763",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
