Chapter 770

The bronze fan stirred up a frenzy of offensive.

The fan surface shook lightly, and wind blades whistled out; shaking the fan violently formed a fire wave that swept the battlefield.

It was agile and fluttering, like a butterfly, with a huge attack range.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was almost curled up behind the shield, pressed hard, and could only defend with all his might.

The scorching fire wave burned his hair tips, and the wind blades cut the ground, cutting his lower body, causing his legs to be injured.

Unlike Ning Zhuo bit his teeth and persisted, feeling the powerful pressure: "I have a shield and blocked most of the offensives, but I am still under heavy pressure. What about the others?"

Sure enough, as he expected, the sixth Xuanbing Armor had a qualitative change in combat power.

The previous Xuanbing Armors, even if they had the Master realm of "having no moves is better than having moves," were limited to moves, and the most threatening was the sharpness or heavy blow of the bronze weapon itself.

But by the time it reached the sixth one, the martial arts of the Xuanbing Armor began to include the use of magic power, enabling them to display saber light and sword energy, etc.

The Xuanbing Armor possessed long-range strike capability, making Unlike Ning Zhuo's ability to sense "force" almost useless.

The bronze fan's offensive was like a storm!

Unlike Ning Zhuo was in the center of the storm, retreating steadily.

In a short time, the surface of the bronze shield was already covered in scars. The deep slash marks left by the wind blades, and the shield body was scorched hot by the impact of the fire wave.

The veins on Unlike Ning Zhuo's arms bulged, and he used the shield to resist the offensive firmly, repeatedly isolating the most fatal damage.

If it were just the shield defending passively, Unlike Ning Zhuo's defeat would be certain. But now, he still had the other four bronze weapons.

Clumsy-Guarding Rotating-Slashing Formation, activate!

The four bronze weapons rotated around Unlike Ning Zhuo's body, constantly spinning.

Unlike Ning Zhuo manipulated with his spiritual sense, making these weapons attack alternately, constantly interfering with the bronze fan.

At first, the bronze fan's offensive was still continuous, but gradually, as Unlike Ning Zhuo adapted to this battle and the moving formation was used proficiently, the interference effect of the four bronze weapons began to become greater and greater.

The bronze fan was just one piece, facing the siege, it had to defend.

In this way, the offensive weakened, giving Unlike Ning Zhuo a chance to breathe and rest.

Unlike Ning Zhuo of course did not let go of this good opportunity, gradually stood firm, displayed the moving formation, stirred up waves of offensive, and gradually leveled the situation.

The fire wave wrapped in wind blades swept towards him again.

Unlike Ning Zhuo raised the shield high, no longer resisting hard, but meeting it at a specific angle, cleverly leading, unloading force, and rotating!

The violent wind and fire power was guided by the shield, a large part was dispersed in other directions, hitting empty air, and the other part suppressed the shield surface, but did not bring the slightest harm to Unlike Ning Zhuo himself.

His battle also gradually attracted more and more Xuanjia Cave cultivators to watch.

"When did Unlike Ning Zhuo become so fierce?"

"In this Xingyun Trial, those who can fight the sixth Xuanbing Armor like this can be counted on one's fingers!"

"This statement is conservative. Even Golden Core cultivators like Ao Pan are not as at ease as him."

The cultivators were in a trance for a while, and the scene of Unlike Ning Zhuo encountering the first bronze artifact at the beginning appeared in front of them.

Dang dang dang!

The bronze long spear served as the main force of the attack, with gauntlets, saber, and sword assisting, slashing at the bronze fan surface several times in a row, directly knocking the latter to the ground.

Unlike Ning Zhuo pounced like a bear, suppressed the bronze fan with the shield, spirit refining and law refining together, and refined the fan.

"The sixth—won!" Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes shone, and his heart was joyful.

The cultivators of the Xuanjia Cave who saw this scene fell into silence again.

"Comprehensively speaking, Unlike Ning Zhuo suffered the least damage in the sixth battle."

"The battle formation he designed is quite reasonable, completely tailored according to the Xuanbing Armors at hand. This battle formation allows him to gather the crowd and exert a power of one plus one greater than two. In contrast, other cultivators are using Xuanbing Armors in turns, which is equivalent to a wheel battle, while Unlike Ning Zhuo is a true group attack."

"But this—everything is like a dream. I still remember the awkwardness when he faced the bronze sword, the battle scene was simply miserable, making people very disappointed."

How did Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly become so strong?!

Everyone was a bit unable to react.

They then recalled Unlike Ning Zhuo's trial process and found the reason one after another.

"Sigh! I understand. Unlike Ning Zhuo's learning ability is truly too strong, and he fully grasped every learning opportunity, practicing unhurriedly."

"Although he stumbled and even crawled in the first few times, every time he could benefit a lot from it and grow significantly."

"He is no longer what he used to be! So now, he is at ease dealing with the sixth Xuanbing Armor."

Everyone reached a consensus in this regard and looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo with admiration again.

In the image, although Unlike Ning Zhuo won, he still frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

The Hao-surnamed cultivator hugged his arms and said at this time: "I have reason to suspect that Unlike Ning Zhuo has acted with purpose and plan since participating in the trial."

"He is extremely confident in his learning ability. Everything is in his plan."

He then sighed, his expression desolate: "Unlike Ning Zhuo has no sense of complacency, obviously he is used to this."

This is a first-class genius, the advantage in a certain aspect is something we can hardly reach in a lifetime.

The cultivators who were secretly jealous of Unlike Ning Zhuo before were all relieved at this moment.

When the gap is too large, and the laggard realizes that they and Unlike Ning Zhuo are completely two kinds of existences, the jealousy in their hearts naturally dissipates.

Of course, there were individual cultivators who were still unwilling, and asked at this moment: "In this way, isn't Unlike Ning Zhuo the strongest right now?"

The Hao-surnamed cultivator shook his head immediately: "No, he is just outstanding in strength. He can be considered the high level in this batch. In the third stage, he is facing cultivators. People are full of spirituality, and in terms of strategy, it is not something Xuanbing Armors can compare to."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo's improvised battle formation is relatively superficial and may be cracked by others."

"At the same time, the third stage is a melee, the scene becomes complex, and anything can happen."

The cultivators commented on Unlike Ning Zhuo, while the person involved was immersed in thought, discussing with Sun Lingtong from time to time.

Sun Lingtong was in the Shuyu Study at this moment, having already displayed the two spells of hanging his head from the beam and piercing his thigh with an awl, and under the blessing of the Luo Book, he was going all out to improve the Clumsy-Guarding Rotating-Slashing Formation with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Live combat is the best teacher.

The recent live combat exposed many problems of the improvised battle formation and also triggered countless inspirations for Sun Lingtong.

The two reviewed after the battle and felt that rushing to open the next stage was not as good as stabilizing the formation and going all out to improve the power of the battle formation. The latter choice could fully exert the advantages of Sun and Ning, which was undoubtedly more reliable.

After a stick of incense.

The vision of a group of cultivators suddenly widened, the magic array changed, and they all entered the real Xuanjia Cave.

The dome was high and wide, and the sky light could not be seen.

Here, time used water as a blade and stone as an anvil, carving a strange scene here.

Crystal clear bamboo shoots rose from the ground, like a forest of spears. The stalactite pillars on the top hung down one by one, like a formation of spears.

The cave walls had thousands of layers and gullies, the deposited rock patterns were like solidified stormy waves, and also like the traces left by craftsmen hammering armor pieces.

The sound of dripping was endless.

Drops of bronze liquid seeped down from the stalactites and dripped into the small lake in the center.

Xuanjia Cave, Qingliu Lake.

The lake water was condensed, like a huge emerald. The deep bronze color was so rich that it seemed to absorb all brilliance.

These bronze waters were the main material for Xuanbing Armors.

The eyes of the cultivators were attracted by the lake water, and they all knew the rules. Before the third stage officially started, cultivators had the opportunity to come to the lakeside, refine some lake water, and obtain a blank Xuanbing Armor!

The Xuanbing Armors they seized before were not theirs. After the Xingyun Trial, these had to be returned to the Xuanjia Cave.

But here, the Qingliu Copper they obtained from the bronze lake was a gift from the Xuanjia Cave and belonged exclusively to them. After this Xingyun Trial, they could all be taken away by the cultivators.

The great array made a sound, echoing in the karst cave, announcing the rules of the third stage.

Unlike Ning Zhuo listened carefully and found that the rules had not changed at all.

He quickly scanned the others: Ao Pan, Tie Zheng, Lu Zeng, Rust Disaster Craftsman, Seeing Ban Ji—and a pool of rotten mud-like flesh, with sabers and swords inserted on it.

The flesh and blood slowly restored into Zhang Wangxing.

He knelt on the spot, coughing blood continuously, his heart feeling greatly encouraged: "Finally, finally let me survive!

He had been taking shortcuts and cheating before, causing him to have no power to fight back when facing the sixth Xuanbing Armor, and he could only try his best to escape, fighting for time for himself.

He had already obtained the fifth Xuanbing Armor and had the qualification to promote to the next round, just waiting for the magic array to activate.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not find Zhang Dadan and sighed in his heart: "The cultivators who can promote to the third stage are not much different from what I expected."

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not look for Seeing Ban Ji's trouble, but walked towards the lakeside immediately.

Others did the same.

The top priority was to refine some Qingliu Copper lake water and let oneself obtain a blank Xuanbing Armor. Every time a cultivator had one more Xuanbing Armor in their hand, the possibility of winning in the end would rise a lot.

Zhang Zheng walked to the lakeside first.

His face was as solemn as iron, his feet deep. Both arms slowly raised, palms facing down, pressing against the lake surface from the air.

Magic power gushed out, sank into the lake, and then rolled up a large stream of Qingliu Copper, slowly floating in mid-air.

Zhang Zheng continued to pour in magic power and refined it rapidly.

Under the eyes of everyone, the Qingliu Copper gradually turned into a shield.

He had saber beasts and various Xuanbing Armors, but he lacked a shield. In the previous battle, he also deeply sensed that a defensive weapon had a huge effect.

Ao Pan was unhurried and also came to the lakeside.

He drew out his magic power, condensed it into the shape of a long whip, lashed it on the lake water, and then rolled up a large cluster of Qingliu Copper.

The Qingliu Copper was absorbed by the magic power and condensed into a long whip in mid-air.

Lu Zeng was the last of the three Golden Core cultivators to arrive.

He took out his natal magic treasure, the Thousand-Mechanism Lotus, and actually threw it directly into the lake.

Seeing Ban Ji and Rust Disaster Craftsman walked together.

Seeing Ban Ji asked immediately, his tone impatient: "Do you have a sword?"

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 stage.

Rust Disaster Craftsman handed his bronze sword to Seeing Ban Ji without any hesitation.

These weapons could be transferred.

At the same time, during the period of refining Qingliu Copper, cultivators were also allowed to use means to heal their injuries.

Therefore, for Seeing Ban Ji, this was the best time to retrieve the saber and sword and restore the saber and sword combined attack.

However—

Seeing Ban Ji saw the bronze sword and was stunned: "This is your bronze sword?!"

He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "sword," expressing emphasis.

The bronze sword in Rust Disaster Craftsman's hand had shrunk into a dagger.

Rust Disaster Craftsman shrugged: "You know my aptitude, Golden Evil. These Xuanbing Armors are not suitable for me. Every time I use them, they have to withstand the erosion of my Golden Evil."

Seeing Ban Ji snorted coldly: "Keep it for yourself."

He still wouldn't give up: "You are entrusted by my Ban family to come and assist me. Ban Jie wouldn't have only this arrangement, what other support does she have?"

Rust Disaster Craftsman's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slowly: "Maybe she arranged others, I am just one of them."

"..."

Seeing Ban Ji snorted coldly again and stopped talking.

He had to seize the time to heal his injuries first and reconnect his severed fingers.

These severed fingers were carefully picked up and collected by him, which could greatly save healing time.

Seeing Ban Ji's time was very tight; he not only had to heal his injuries but also refine the Xuanbing Armor.

After a while, he shook his palm, although weak, but at least he could pick up the saber and sword.

Seeing Ban Ji looked around and found that almost everyone was surrounding the small lake, refining Qingliu Copper.

During the long time he was treating, no one came to help him, which made Seeing Ban Ji feel deeply disappointed.

"I already have a bronze saber, so the blank Xuanbing Armor I refine can only be the structure of a sword."

"Sigh, if there were a shield, it would have a huge advantage in the melee."

Seeing Ban Ji's gaze paused on Unlike Ning Zhuo for a moment, then shifted away.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged by the lakeside. The Xuanbing Armors on his body had all turned into pieces, preserved close to his body. So from the outside, Unlike Ning Zhuo was empty-handed, and no one knew how many Xuanbing Armors he had.

Streams of Qingliu Copper were taken out by Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense and magic power in cooperation and fell onto his body.

These Qingliu Copper were refined by Unlike Ning Zhuo and added to all the Xuanbing Armors in his hand, comprehensively repairing them.

Xuanbing Armors are not durable and easy to wear, but at the same time, because the main material is special, they are also very easy to repair.

Even if others chose to repair, it was at most one or two pieces. For example, Ao Pan, the bronze long whip he used before, he would rather let it break than repair it.

The bronze long whip was the first bronze weapon he encountered, too weak.

In this situation, for him, fully refining a new bronze long whip was completely in line with his cultivation technique and

whip technique, which was the optimal choice.

Unlike Ning Zhuo treated everyone equally, and it was also his optimal choice.

Because he had a battle formation!

Soon, the continuous Qingliu Copper repaired all of Unlike Ning Zhuo's Xuanbing Armors.

Only then did Unlike Ning Zhuo begin to condense new Xuanbing Armors.

The cultivators of the Xuanjia Cave saw Unlike Ning Zhuo's Xuanbing Armor and their expressions became strange.

Because Unlike Ning Zhuo's Xuanbing Armor did not belong to any conventional weapon, it looked like a lower leg of a person!

Everyone could only sigh: the thinking of a genius is really different from us ordinary people.

The short rest time passed in a flash.

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, etc., among the crowd, trying to compete around the Xuanbing Armors.

Tie Zheng took action first, walking slowly to Ao Pan: "Spar a few moves?"

Accompanied by this action of his, the melee of the third stage opened its curtain.
