The monks gradually figured out the mechanism of the palace examination and gained a deeper understanding of the Secret Pavilion of Turnaround.
Zhu Xuanji jumped flexibly, breaking through the traps while secretly thinking: "According to the palace examination rules, the way to win is to find the right path, leave this maze, step into the main hall, and sit on the throne."
"But in fact, there are many secret chambers. When everyone has accumulated thirty-six times, the order will be reshuffled."
"The path I had taken before has completely changed, and I have to start all over again."
"so……"
"On the one hand, I have to rush through the levels at full speed. Others have passed three secret chambers, but I can pass six. This means that my chances of finding the correct path are much higher than others."
"On the other hand, I need to eliminate as many other people as possible! The ideal situation is that I am the only one left. All thirty-six exploration opportunities are mine."
"Um?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Xuanji's heart was touched, and he deduced a conclusion: "This proves that within thirty-six times, there must be a path that can allow me to break out of the Turning Point Secret Pavilion and enter the Main Hall!"
The cultivators who could enter the third round of palace examinations were almost all very smart. Like Zhu Xuanji, many people realized the true nature of the third round of palace examinations.
It seems that finding the right path is largely a matter of luck.
But in fact, it is necessary to eliminate others in exchange for more exploration opportunities to have a better chance of escaping from the Turnaround Secret Pavilion! In a secret pavilion.
A battle had just ended.
The book's master stood in the center of the battlefield with his hands behind his back. Beside him were several mechanical creations. Some were smashed, some were broken, and some were sealed and could not move.
The Lord of the Book is the elite in the entire library. He is well-read in scriptures, and his methods are comprehensive and sophisticated, among all the cultivators, he is one of the best.
The battle was won, but there was no trace of joy on his face.
"The odds are against me."
"In the previous ranking list, I was always ranked second. This made others pay too much attention to me and regard me as a major threat."
In Shushujun's mind, there is always a clear list of candidates for the palace examination.
"Including me, there are thirteen monks in total, but we are not in thirteen camps."
"And there are only four."
"The alliance of Huoshi Xiancheng's cultivation families headed by Zhu Xuanji is the most powerful."
"The Meng family of the City Lord's Mansion and the Bukong Sect are next."
"The last camp is me, Song Fuli and the Golden Elixir Master of Zixiao Pavilion. We are quite scattered."
If other people run into each other, they may not necessarily fight each other. They are likely to join forces directly because of their camps.
In other words, it is very likely that the person in the book will encounter two or even more enemies.
What's more troublesome is that everyone's cultivation is suppressed at the Qi Refining Stage. This makes it difficult for Shu Zhongjun to fight two people alone.
Shu Zhongjun quickly cleaned up the battlefield and disassembled many parts of the mechanical puppet.
He did not have the ability to use the "Devil Blood Tendon Technique" and could not do the same as Ning Zhuo and directly use magic to dye the mechanical puppet.
"The second secret chamber we explored earlier is a place dedicated to assembling mechanisms, and it also contains many applicable mechanism tools."
"Let's go back there first and use these spoils to assemble a mechanical puppet for myself."
In the book, Jun chose to return by the same route.
He couldn't use his storage equipment, but he did have a spell for temporary storage. After casting it, he pushed open the small door with empty hands.
As a result, the next moment, he froze in place.
"Zhu Xuanji!" Shu Zhongjun exclaimed in his heart when he saw the cultivator in the room.
Zhu Xuanji also discovered him immediately.
Both sides were on full alert and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Master Zhu, you are the first fellow Taoist I have come into contact with since the third round of palace examinations." Shu Zhongjun smiled, on the one hand alert to his surroundings, on the other hand trying his best to ease the atmosphere.
What made him feel a little relieved was that he didn't see any other monks.
There were only him and Zhu Xuanji in this room.
This situation is not the worst.
Zhu Xuanji also smiled at Shu Zhongjun. The two exchanged a few words and then Shu Zhongjun immediately left.
Zhu Xuanji hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not take action and allowed the man in the book to leave.
Judging from the second round of palace examinations, Shu Shujun is very powerful, has many tricks up his sleeve and is an all-rounder.
This can be regarded as a characteristic of the Quanshu Building. Because there are so many classics included, the monks in the Quanshu Building are basically well-rounded and have no obvious shortcomings.
"What a pity! If we could meet one of our own, we could advance and retreat together."
"If we encounter a lone person like Shushujun, we should be able to take action and eliminate this great threat in advance!"
Zhu Xuanji felt regretful in his heart. He was alone in the battle with the King of Books. The outcome was unclear and the future was uncertain.
If he could exert the full strength of his Golden Core level, he might have taken action as well.
There was no way out. The Zhuanji Secret Pavilion restricted his strength to the Qi Refining level, which made Zhu Xuanji very cautious and he would not start a war easily.
"We still need to meet up with the others as soon as possible." Zhu Xuanji raised his foot and continued exploring.
…
Sun Lingtong frowned: "Lava Fairy Palace is really powerful. It can even suppress my engagement!"
Before the third round of palace examinations, Sun Lingtong received information provided by Ning Zhuo and had some understanding of the content of the examinations.
He leaked it to Yang Chanyu.
The two men discussed that they could use their engagement to sense each other and reunite as soon as possible.
But after actually trying it, Sun Lingtong tasted the taste of failure.
…
"Hey, where is the young master? We must not let him run into other people beforehand." The Meng family's Jindan cultivator walked hurriedly.
…
Zheng Shuanggou was also in a hurry to travel, he wanted to meet up with Zheng Danjian as soon as possible.
Zheng Danlian's eyes were red as he tore apart the red-flame monster guarding the gate in front of him.
The irritability in his heart continued to accumulate, and he muttered: "Why, why do you want to ban my Night Rain Demon Soldiers!"
He couldn't touch the mechanical sickle, and a strong sense of emptiness in his heart continued to torment him.
Zheng Danjian had no intention of reuniting or anything like that.
He just wanted to hold the mechanical sickle in his hand and live closely with it every moment.
…
It is better to be simple, leisurely and relaxed.
"The situation is very favorable to me."
The number of demon-dyed puppets behind him has increased to five.
At the same time, there was a box floating in the air, following him closely.
This is when Ning Zhuo received another mechanical creation, which he was very familiar with - the small flying box.
This storage mechanism contains several mechanism components accumulated by Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo didn't master any storage magic, and when he could hardly take anything with him, the appearance of the small flying box solved his pain points.
The situation was indeed favorable to him.
In other words, it is the most advantageous, and it is not an exaggeration.
Ning Zhuo can meet Zhu Xuanji, Ning Jiufan, Yang Chanyu and Sun Lingtong.
If we expand the scope a little bit, Zheng Shuanggou, Zheng Danlian and Zhou Nongying can also be used.
There were only thirteen monks in the third round of palace examinations, so he could join forces with as many as seven.
"In fact, I have met Shu Zhongjun once, thanks to Faith's letter of recommendation."
"Song Fuli and I also had a deal before."
"I'm just not very familiar with Zixiao Pavilion's Golden Elixir True Teachings."
Looking around, Ning Zhuo's relationship with other cultivators is pretty good.
In the second round of the palace examination, Ning Zhuo also showed his strength, so that when everyone was suppressed at the Qi Refining level, he would not be treated as a soft persimmon! "However, the Zheng family and Zhou family's Jindan ancestors should not be trusted too much."
Ning Zhuo did not forget his previous inference.
Although they have signed an alliance, there are also countermeasures for this kind of thing.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The possibility of forming alliances always exists, and Ning Zhuo has never forgotten the possibility of these two families cooperating with the City Lord's Mansion in private.
The sound of the mechanism was heard again, and the secret chamber began to shake slightly.
All the monks were very solemn and cautious.
This is because this time, it is already the third round of changes. According to the information, this is no longer the third small turnaround, but the first big turnaround.
Everyone is aware of the small turnaround.
What is the big turning point? Meng Chong pushed the door open and walked in.
The next moment, he saw Zhou Nongying.
Zhou Nongying's pupils shrank slightly, and he nodded expressionlessly: "It's Meng Chong you. Go ahead, we have an agreement, I won't make things difficult for you for now. No one on the list has been moved, so it's better to eliminate outsiders like Shushujun and Bukongmen first, which is the correct strategy."
"If you meet your Meng family's Jindan cultivator, tell him this strategy, okay?"
Meng Chong clenched his fists, and tiny electric lights flashed on his fists: "Not good!"
He flatly refused.
Meng Chong stared at Zhou Nongying, his face full of excitement and fighting spirit: "We are both at the Qi Refining level, Senior Zhou. This opportunity is too rare, and I really want to compete with you."
Zhou Nongying's face darkened: "Young man, you are not willing to accept my toast, so you have to drink the wine for punishment."
Meng Chong's eyes sparkled: "If I remember correctly, Senior Zhou doesn't seem to have any talent, right?"
Immortal resources——Running like a thunderbolt! The next moment, Meng Chong rushed towards Zhou Nongying like lightning.
He was so bold and ambitious that he took the initiative to provoke a fight.
This was the first battle between monks since the third round of palace examinations.
Before this, even if some cultivators bumped into each other, they were like Zhu Xuanji and Shu Zhongjun, restraining each other and being extremely cautious, not acting rashly.
With the help of Kuang Ben Tu Lei, the distance between Meng Chong and Zhou Nongying was getting farther and farther.
Meng Chong was surprised and confused.
Zhou Nongying put his hands behind his back and sneered, "I'll teach you something. After the second turnaround, I stayed in this secret pavilion and never left."
"I set up the magic circle here in advance to guard against the risk of a major turn of events."
"Meng Chong, I let you go, but you don't know what's good for you. You deserve to be eliminated."
The next moment, Zhou Nongying pointed his finger.
The magic circle roared.
Meng Chong was bound, like a bug in amber, unable to move.
The next moment, the mighty power of the magic circle came down on his head! If this were to be implemented, Meng Chong would definitely be eliminated.
But the next moment, Meng Chong used his magic power to infuse a token in his arms.
The token flew out and blocked the power of the magic circle.
There were two big characters on the token - Free from War! Mechanical Components Free from War Card! When the Free from War Card was activated, Meng Chong's figure slowly dissipated on the spot - he was teleported away.
Zhou Nongying snorted coldly, looking unhappy: "There is such a mechanism? How come I have never encountered it before."
Meng Chong's body flashed out of thin air and appeared in the secret chamber where he had been before.
"Damn it, you used up my only free-from-war card."
"Zhou Nongying!!"
Unlike the other cultivators, Meng Chong was furious and chose the same door again. He stepped in and faced Zhou Nongying again.
Zhou Nongying: "You're still coming?!"
He was angry too.
I was actually underestimated: "I want to see how many exemption orders you have!"
Meng Chong grinned: "No more, just one."
"But I have something else!"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and retched, spitting out a large string of mechanical props from his body.
Zhou Nongying's face darkened. Meng Chong had taken out too many mechanical props.
…
"It turns out that the big turn of events has greatly increased the possibility of our meeting." The man in the book understood.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Song Fuli in front of him and said, "Brother Song, it is my honor to meet you."
Song Fuli nodded repeatedly: "Yes, our camp is the weakest. Let's not fight, but join forces."
Basically, the monks who take the palace examination are not stupid.
What the man in the book thought of, Song Fuli could also think of.
The two foreign monks did not take action but chose to unite immediately.
Instead, it was Meng Chong and Zhou Nongying in Huo Shi Xian City who started the battle.
…
At the same time, on the top of Huoshi Mountain, deep in the clouds and mist.
A sturdy man with a broad back and strong waist took a big step and walked up to Meng Kui: "Brother, how are you? Hahaha."
Meng Kui smiled and said, "Meng Hu, I'm glad you're here."
One of the four great men of the Meng family, at the Nascent Soul stage, Meng Hu, arrived quietly!
…
After a cup of tea.
Electric light filled the entire Turnaround Secret Pavilion.
Zhou Nongying lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the huge wound on his chest.
Then, he slowly raised his head and looked across at Meng Chong, who was covered in blood and grinning foolishly.
"I, actually lost?!" Zhou Nongying murmured.
"Hahahaha!" Meng Chong put his hands on his hips, ignored the blood spurting from his wounds, and laughed loudly towards the sky, looking extremely happy.
The information was quickly conveyed, shocking everyone's heart - "Meng Chong vs. Zhou Nongying, the latter is eliminated!"
