Lava Fairy Palace.

This was Meng Chong’s first time entering the maintenance room.

The five-sided stone pillar is very eye-catching, especially since it is constantly and slowly rotating.

Meng Chong saw the stone pillar at a glance.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had been keeping an eye on him. When it saw Meng Chong enter the maintenance room, its eyelids, which were originally half-open, widened a little because of excitement.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit is in a very bad condition.

Before, the Lava Fairy Palace was in a very dangerous situation as it resisted the group attack of the Red Flame Monsters.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit took action personally, got into the Taoist's mechanical puppet, and controlled it. After a hard fight, it saved the situation and finally killed the Golden Core-level Fire Melting Demon Ape.

It consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

The main reason is that it doesn't match the Taoist's mechanical creation at all.

Now, there are still many red flame monsters besieging the Lava Fairy Palace. The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit has to organize mechanical creations and build defenses on the one hand, arrange various repairs on the other hand, and take into account the trials of the Qi Refining disciples on the other.

Such a complex and huge workload is also a long-term and continuous drain on its spirituality.

Even so, seeing Meng Chong heading towards the leaderboard, it couldn't help but get excited and sent out the key message.

In an instant, a flame whip condensed and whipped it! The dragon turtle fire spirit put its head and dragon claws into its shell and endured the pain.

Meng Chong was reminded and perked up. He then realized that this was the maintenance room and there was not much danger.

He let down his guard a little and walked to the ranking list on the five stone pillars.

Following the instructions of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, Meng Chong first touched the stone pillar and obtained the mark of a trial disciple.

Then he looked up at the leaderboard.

Qi Refining Ranking, Essence Refining Ranking, Spirit Refining Ranking, Progress Ranking and Speed ​​Pass Ranking.

Among the five rankings, he ranked second in the Qi Refining Ranking, Progress Ranking, and Speed ​​Pass Ranking. Meng Chong's name was not on the Jing Refining Ranking or the Shen Refining Ranking.

Meng Chong was very indignant. From childhood to adulthood, he had always strived to be the first.

He has the talent of an immortal, a genius among geniuses. He should be superior to others and occupy the top.

How can I come in second?!

But when Meng Chong saw the first place, he felt relieved.

The first place in the five lists all had the same title - the entry standard! "Only if you exceed this standard can you be accepted as a disciple of Lava Fairy Palace?"

"Master Sanzong is indeed a powerful being at the Void Refining Level. Each trial level is extremely difficult, and the entry standards are also so high."

"very good!"

"This gives me a greater desire for challenge."

"Besides, being on the leaderboard and getting rewards is really great."

"Hahaha!"

Meng Chong's fighting spirit was boosted. He studied in the maintenance room for a while before pushing the door and entering room number four.

The main hall of Lava Fairy Palace.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit shrank into its shell, trembling from the whip of fire, and at the same time rolling its eyes in anger at Meng Chong.

It had clearly reminded him and specifically told Meng Chong that he was the "second place"! But Meng Chong didn't think much about it and laughed happily.

This made the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit feel like vomiting blood.

It has already done the best it can, but Meng Chong can't detect anything strange about it.

Well! It was in vain that it was beaten with the fire whip.

Level 2.

After Meng Chong left, Ning Zhuo quickly climbed out of the trap.

He first came to the first door, used my Buddha Heart Demon Seal to push the door open a crack, and looked into room number one.

After making sure that no one was coming, he closed the door and called in the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng.

Things are different now than before.

As there were more and more participants, it was very inconvenient for Ning Zhuo himself to enter and exit the Lava Fairy Palace, let alone recruit the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng.

The trend is obvious.

In the future, the risk of Ning Zhuo summoning the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng will become greater and greater.

A teleportation aperture appeared and brought Yuan Dasheng to the puppet Ning Zhuo.

"I am your humble servant, paying my respects to my lord!" The Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng knelt on one knee in front of Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo was very interested in Yuan Dasheng's performance in the Zhiling period, but now was not a good time to study it in detail.

"The mechanical body of the Golden Blood War Ape is much worse than that of the Tree Fighting Ape."

"But it is the only thing recognized by the Lava Fairy Palace and can enter and leave the Fairy Palace freely."

"Based on this alone, the Golden Blood War Ape is extremely valuable and cannot be replaced."

Ning Zhuo took Yuan Dasheng through the second level and came to the second door.

In order to prevent Meng Chong from being still in room number three, the puppet Ning Zhuo stayed where he was and let Yuan Dasheng push the door in to check the situation first.

It turned out that room number three was in a mess, and the kung fu dolls were in piles of broken pieces scattered on the ground.

"Sure enough." Ning Zhuo pushed the door open and saw this scene without any surprise.

He had thought of it before.

Every time Meng Chong was attacked and obstructed, he would have made great progress in strength when he returned.

"This is the talent of an immortal, and also destiny!"

Ning Zhuo sighed and took Yuan Dasheng through room three to the third door.

It was still the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng who pushed the door open.

No Mengchong was found.

Ning Zhuo did not rush in, but asked the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng to take out the monitoring mechanism parts from the corner.

First there was the ranking stone pillar, then he came into contact with various mechanism pedestals and mechanism manufacturing tools, and finally Meng Chong left and entered the next level.

"Meng Chong obtained the mark of the trial disciple... Strange, he seemed to have known the detailed steps here for a long time, and he did it directly without any attempt."

Ning Zhuo passed by the stone pillar ranking list.

There are two more names on the current ranking list.

The previous time, it was Yuan Dasheng who was on the list.

But after Yuan Dasheng was plotted against and murdered by Ning Zhuo, and eventually became his creation, Ning Zhuo's name was the only one on the list.

Ning Zhuo also gave careful consideration to the decision of changing his name.

First of all, it cannot be changed to the name of someone else in the Immortal City. Once the City Lord's Mansion and other four forces mobilized their full strength, it would be easy to arrest the person, and after verifying it, they could determine whether it was true or false. Then they could judge that the name on the ranking list could be changed, or that someone cheated, which would be extremely disadvantageous to Ning Zhuo.

Secondly, it cannot be changed to the name of a dead person.

Because Yuan Dasheng was removed from the list.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This proves that dead competitors will be eliminated.

If Ning Zhuo's name were to remain on it forever, the flaw would be outrageous.

“Since names of living or dead people are not acceptable, I can only try something fancy.” This is what Ning Zhuo thought at the time.

Finally, he changed the name to "Entry Standard".

There are many benefits to doing this.

The first is to hide your identity as a competitor.

The second is to correspond to the marks of the trial disciples and "bear witness" to each other.

In Ning Zhuo's personal judgment, since he was able to figure out the mark of the trial disciple, others would most likely be able to figure it out as well.

By then, each and every mark of a trial disciple would be Ning Zhuo's best endorsement of trust.

The third benefit is that it can take into account future changes in one’s own ranking.

Once the "entry standard" is surpassed by others in the future, they will think: "I have reached the standard, I have reached the standard for promotion to an entry disciple."

Once the "entry standard" surpasses others, others can think of - Oh, it turns out that the entry standard is flexible. Just like many family assessments, only the top ten are rewarded. The entry standard of Lava Fairy Palace also changes according to the situation of the trial disciples.

Ning Zhuo just missed the Shizhu ranking list.

It was still the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng who pushed the door and entered Room No. 4 first.

By monitoring the mechanism parts, Ning Zhuo discovered that after Meng Chong entered the room, he paused slightly, and then cast spells in turn to obtain the mechanism parts that corresponded to the spells one by one.

Ning Zhuo: "Strange! Here, Meng Chong seems to have known about it for a long time. He found the answer directly without any exploration."

Ning Zhuo and Yuan Dasheng sped up.

There was no sign of Meng Chong inside Gate No. 5.

The parts of the supervisory agency showed a dashing figure as he rushed through the checkpoint.

Ning Zhuo checked carefully and confirmed once again that Meng Chong had made great progress - he was able to add his immortal talent to magic!

This made Ning Zhuo even more solemn.

Room six.

Meng Chong laughed loudly: "This is quite interesting. Running like crazy and thundering!"

He shouted loudly and moved as fast as lightning, dodging the covering attacks of several spells.

He used up his immortal resources again, this time adding them to the ice-holding technique and a breath of energy.

The ice-holding technique and a breath of air merged together to form a straight stream of freezing air, which quickly hit a magic puppet in a flash of lightning.

The magic puppet was instantly frozen.

Meng Chong created a gap and took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement of the magic puppets.

However, just when he was about to be proud of himself, the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng suddenly appeared!

"Ah, it's you!!" Meng Chong was overjoyed to see the prey.

The Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng was covered in flames and rushed forward, wanting to engage in close combat with Meng Chong.

Meng Chong was not afraid at all, and was even excited: "Last time I was burned to death by the flames. This time it won't happen, I have magic to protect me."

Meng Chong cast the spell of embracing ice, a breath of air, and a ring of air release, so that the area around him was covered with thick freezing air.

With the cold air offsetting the flames, Meng Chong was no longer afraid of being burned to death.

But the next moment, the palm of the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng was imprinted on Meng Chong's chest.

Spell——Five Elements Chaos Qi Spell!

This was the reward after passing the three levels of Taoism. After Ning Zhuo received it, he used it in actual combat for the first time on Meng Chong.

As for the effect... it's great!

In just a moment, the spiritual energy in Meng Chong's body became completely disordered, changing from its previous order to a mess.

"I..." Meng Chong was unable to move his body, and at the same time he had to suffer the backlash caused by the interruption of spells such as Ice Holding Spell.

The Golden-Blooded War Ape Dasheng then made a move and gently took off Meng Chong's puppet head.

Then, he exerted force with his palm and crushed the puppet's head instantly.

Meng Chong had no choice but to fly out of the palace with a strong sense of reluctance and return to his own body.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

He suddenly opened his eyes, still in disbelief: "What kind of magic is this? It seems to be quite effective against the Five Elements Qi Law?"

“Lost again!”

"It doesn't matter. I gained a lot this time."

Meng Chong was looking forward to entering the palace next time and was full of fighting spirit.

"By the way, send a copy of the latest information to Faith and Grandpa, and ask them to help me think about whether there is a faster way to pass the level."
