The skeleton of the Five Elements Soldier is hard, and the charcoal-baked clay outside the body further increases the defense. In addition to the spirit stone, the spiritual power is equipped with a spirit gathering array to extend the endurance. The spiritual pattern ancient wood strips in the body are used as the transmission route, which is very convenient. If you want to say the characteristics of the Five Elements Soldier, it is that there are no characteristics. Or, it is balanced. There is no outstanding item in terms of attack and defense, spiritual power, speed, etc. This is what Ning Zhuo did deliberately. Without outstanding items, it will not be obviously restrained. The second round of the palace examination has just begun, and he needs to try to gain more competition experience. Therefore, this kind of mechanical creation with balanced performance has hope to beat anyone and can last longer. Ning Zhuo made enough firecrackers to push the loading capacity of the Five Elements Soldier to the limit. After completing this step, he still has a cup of tea before the time limit.
The actual completion is better than the plan he imagined in his mind. He closed his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes and used this free time to test the Five Elements Soldier from the beginning. He also used the lifting line to manipulate it and tested its performance in all aspects. The manipulation was only for a short while, and Ning Zhuo confirmed that it was correct, so he stopped. Before the battle, you can't test too much. After all, as soon as the mechanical creation starts to move, it will start to wear out. After the actual operation, Ning Zhuo still has some time left. He carefully checked the table and took turns to check the mechanical making tools, but there was nothing new. In the last short period of time, Ning Zhuo closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and waited for the time to end. When the time was up, Ning Zhuo opened his eyes and found that the front suddenly became clear. He saw his opponent. He was a dwarf, wearing a warrior's outfit, with a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of small eyes. Ning Zhuo immediately recognized the other party's identity: "Feng Feidao, one of the three leaders of the City Lord's Mansion Renovation Team." Feng Feidao was a little flustered. The time limit was up, and he was still making arrows for his mechanical puppets. But after the time limit was reached, the arena sent both of the mechanical puppets to the middle area. Ning Zhuo stared at the opponent's mechanical puppet. This yellow-green puppet was tall and thin, holding a longbow, carrying a quiver on his back, and two small quivers tied around his waist. There were a lot of arrows in the quiver, but it was not full. Seeing the burly Five Elements Soldier with a lot of charcoal-baked clay piled on the surface, Feng Feidao immediately pulled his palm and pulled his wooden arrow man back in his direction.
In the center of the arena, the mechanical wooden arrow man retreated backwards and quickly distanced himself from the Five Elements Soldier. "This speed..." Ning Zhuo couldn't help but frowned slightly. The wooden arrow man was as swift as the wind and easily distanced himself. In terms of speed, its advantage is obvious at a glance. Ning Zhuo quickly judged: "From the appearance and this action, the other party used materials mainly made of ancient wood with spiritual patterns." "It seems that heavy objects such as fist gold and charcoal-baked clay have been completely abandoned." "Therefore, it performs quite well in terms of speed!" After pulling away, the wooden archer quickly bent his bow and put on the arrow, shooting at the five-element soldier. Swish, swish, swish. Some arrows exploded when they shot. Some instantly turned into ice cones, which had a piercing effect. It turned out that Feng Feidao used fire essence and frost flower droplets to make arrows. Ning Zhuo controlled the five-element soldier and moved forward step by step. In the process, he was constantly shot. Fortunately, he put a lot of thought into defense. Almost the entire frost flower droplet was used by him to set up the formation, hidden in the body of the five-element soldier, flowing like blood. The frost flower droplet surged out and quickly condensed into a huge round shield, covering almost the entire body of the five-element soldier. Most of the arrows were shot at the shield, with little effect. Feng Feidao's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, but he was not panicked. When he designed the Wooden Archer, he had considered how to deal with the iron lumps like the Five Elements Soldier. The next moment, he moved his fingers frequently, and controlled the Wooden Archer to take out three arrows from the large quiver behind him. The Wooden Archer put all three arrows on the bow and shot them all at once! The three arrows did not hit the Five Elements Soldier, but fell at its feet. The arrows took root in the ground of the arena, grew rapidly, turned into countless thorns, and quickly spread to the Five Elements Soldier. Ning Zhuo quickly pulled his palm back and pulled the Five Elements Soldier back a few steps. At the same time, he moved his fingers frequently, commanding the Five Elements Soldier to reach into his belly and take out a handful of fire spirit firecrackers from it. The firecrackers fell and exploded with a bang. The thorn bush was blown up, and the ground was black. The Five Elements Soldier took a step and continued to approach the Wooden Archer. Feng Feidao frowned.
He had exhausted all his attack methods, but he could not defeat the enemy. "For now, the only way is to fight for victory through a war of attrition." "Ning Zhuo's mechanical creation is heavy, and its spiritual power consumption is much greater than mine." "Also, its shield is heavy and large, and maintaining such a huge shield surface also consumes a lot of spiritual power." "On the other hand, my wooden arrow hero is almost all made of ancient wood with spiritual patterns, and its efficiency in absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy is far higher than that of the opponent. There is also a spirit gathering array in the body, so I have the advantage in spiritual power consumption!" The scene fell into a stalemate. Ning Zhuo's five-element soldier moved forward with the shield, and Feng Feidao's wooden arrow hero maintained a distance and kept shooting. The two sides attacked and defended, and the situation was quite obvious. The space of the arena is limited. Ning Zhuo took advantage of this and carefully designed the movement of the five elements soldiers, gradually closing the distance. Feng Feidao was also very experienced. He used the round corners of the arena to move around all the time, without any mistakes in his movement. Ning Zhuo's face remained unchanged, and he began to control the five elements soldiers to frequently throw mechanical firecrackers. These firecrackers have a range of killing, which forces the wooden archer to roll and jump continuously, increasing the consumption of spiritual power. The wooden archer fought back with bows and arrows, but they were almost blocked by Ning Zhuo's water shield. Occasionally, a few arrows hit the body, but they had little effect because of the charcoal-baked clay. Feng Feidao's face gradually darkened. He found a disadvantage - he didn't have enough arrows! On the other hand, Ning Zhuo's fire spirit firecrackers seemed endless. For Feng Feidao, he didn't have enough time to refine the mechanism. But for Ning Zhuo, he had more than enough time. In terms of making mechanisms, Ning Zhuo's advantage was retained, and at this moment it was reflected on the battlefield. Feng Feidao realized this and immediately reduced the frequency of shooting, using each arrow carefully. Seeing the opponent's performance, Ning Zhuo immediately reduced the area of the water shield to the size of a regular shield, which could protect half of the body, instead of almost the whole body before. "This water shield can actually be reduced, not in one form!" Feng Feidao received bad news again. The reduced water shield naturally consumes less spiritual power. Feng Feidao forced himself to be calm: "Even so, my absorption of spiritual power is still much higher than yours!" "I will be the final winner in this protracted war of attrition!" Ning Zhuo looked serious. Of course, he also analyzed where the opponent's advantage lies. So, every time he threw firecrackers next, he went all out.
As time went on, the middle-grade spirit stones on the wooden arrow hero had been exhausted, and he acted on the external spiritual energy absorbed at the beginning of the battle. Without the support of abundant spiritual power, its speed dropped a lot. Ning Zhuo's situation was far less bad than Feng Feidao imagined. Under normal circumstances, the medium-grade spirit stones of the Five Elements Soldier would have been consumed long ago. But now, it still has 10% of its spirit stone reserves. This is because Ning Zhuo used the arrangement of the Five Elements. Every time he used the water shield of the water element, the firecrackers of the fire element, and the surface protection of the earth element, the mana consumed was much less than the direct consumption. The spiritual power reserves of the Five Elements Soldier kept up with the Wooden Arrow Man and were not left behind. At this moment, the balance of victory began to gradually lean towards it. The Wooden Arrow Man's speed was greatly reduced, and it was more and more likely to be killed by the range of the Fire Spirit Firecrackers. These injuries accumulated, accumulated little by little, destroyed the spirit pattern, and made it increasingly less efficient in absorbing external spiritual power, which was a double whammy. In the end, the slow-moving Five Elements Soldier forced the Wooden Arrow Man, whose speed was seriously reduced, into a corner. The two sides engaged in close combat. The Wooden Arrow Man's fist hit the Five Elements Soldier, scraping off layers of stone skin. Every time the Five Elements soldier's fists hit the wooden arrow man, there was a bang, and the wooden arrow man was hit with fist marks. This gap is too obvious! In the end, the Five Elements soldier beat the wooden arrow man so hard that his legs and hands were broken, and he was paralyzed on the ground, motionless. Feng Feidao stared at this scene, his hands were shaking, and his veins were exposed, and he was almost cramping. In the close combat stage, his control was pulled to his personal limit. After all, the wooden arrow man was weak in close combat. If he wanted to maintain the situation, he had to make more operations. He was so busy that his fingers were almost knotted together, but in the end, he still tasted the bitter fruit of failure. Ning Zhuo defeated the first enemy and gained a little record. New information came, allowing him to rest for half a cup of tea. He was teleported to the square. Standing outside the ring, he found that almost all the rings were fighting. Even the ring he was just in immediately became blurred and unclear. Obviously, two other monks started a competition. There were only two people in the square. One is Ning Zhuo, and the other is a Jindan cultivator from the City Lord's Mansion. There is no need for the two sides to communicate. Ning Zhuo's heart moved slightly: "After the first round of palace examinations, before the second round of palace examinations, another foundation-building cultivator was attacked and killed." "That is to say, there are actually only 22 people participating in the second round of palace examinations."
"But there are only two people in the field, which means that this quota still exists. It also means that I may encounter this vacancy in the next competition." Just now on the stage, Ning Zhuo couldn't see the situation under the stage clearly, otherwise he could have figured it out long ago. "The message says that everyone has to fight against everyone else once. Although one person is missing, the quota is still reserved, the same as the first round of the palace examination." "So, it can still be counted as 23." Ning Zhuo counted with his fingers: "In this case, the total number of battles has reached 253." "There are ten arenas. Assuming that the battles start and end at the same time, there will be 25 rounds." "This is only the content of the first competition. According to Long Yuan Huo Ling, there will be at least three rounds of the second round of the palace examination." "Counting the rest time between each round, the total duration of the second round of the palace examination will be at least ten days."
