The skeleton of the Five Elements Pawn is hard, and the charcoal-baked clay outside its body further increases its defense

  Apart from spirit stones, spiritual energy is also equipped with a spirit gathering array to extend the endurance time.

It is very convenient to use the spirit pattern ancient wood strip as the transportation route in the body.

  If you want to say the characteristics of the five elements, that is, there is no characteristic.

  Or equilibrium.

  Attack and defense, spiritual power, speed and so on, there is no outstanding item

  This is Ning Zhuo's intention.

  No salient item, no apparent restraint

  The second round of the court examination had just begun. He needed to try his best to gain more experience.

Therefore, this kind of mechanism creation with balanced performance has hope for everyone and can last longer.

  Ning Zhuo made enough fire essence firecrackers to push the loading of the five elements pawns to the limit

  After finishing this step, he was still a cup of tea away from the deadline.

  The actual situation was better than he had imagined.

  He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened his eyes and used the spare time to start examining the five elements from the beginning.

  And he also used the lifting line, manipulated it, tested it in all aspects of performance

  Control only for a short while, Ning Zhuo confirmed that there is no error, and then tasted it.

  Before the battle, don't test too much

After all, as soon as a mechanical creation begins to move, it begins to wear out.

  After practice, Ning Zhuo still has some time left

  He carefully checked the table and took turns checking the crafting tools. There was nothing new.

  At the end of a short period of time, Ning Zhuo closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and waited for the time to end

  When the time came, Ning Zhuo opened his eyes and found that the front was suddenly clear.

  He saw his opponent.

  He was a short man, dressed in martial arts uniform, his face covered, revealing only a pair of small eyes

  Ning Zhuo immediately recognized the other party's identity: "Feng Flying Dagger, one of the three small leaders of the City Lord's Mansion's reform team."

”

  Feng Feidao was a little flustered.

  Time's up, and he's still making arrows for his machine puppet.

  However, after the time limit for the ring expired, they sent their mechanical puppets to the middle area.

  Ning Zhuo stared at the other party's mechanical puppet

  This yellow-green puppet was tall and thin, holding a longbow, carrying a quiver on his back, and tied to his waist were two small quiver.

  There are a lot of arrows in the quiver, but it's not full.

  Feng Feidao immediately pulled his wooden arrow back toward him when he saw the burly Five-Element Soldier with a large amount of charcoal-roasted clay piled on its surface.

  In the middle of the ring, the wooden arrow moves backward and quickly increases the distance between himself and the five elements pawn.

  "This speed…" Ning Zhuo frowned.

  Wood Arrow was as quick as the wind, easily pulling away.

  In terms of speed, its advantage is clear

  Ning Zhuo quickly concluded,"Judging from the appearance and this action, the opponent used materials mainly made of ancient wood with spiritual patterns

”

  "It seems that heavy objects such as fist gold and charcoal clay have been completely abandoned

”

  "Therefore, its speed is quite excellent!"

  After pulling away, Wood Arrow quickly drew his bow and fired at the Five Elements pawn.

  Xiu, Xiu

  Arrows come, some explode

Some of them turn into icicles instantly, which have the effect of piercing

  It turned out that Feng Feidao used fire essence, frost flower and large water droplets to make arrows.

  Ning Zhuo controlled the Five Elements Pawn and moved forward step by step. In this process, he was constantly shot.

  Fortunately, he had great intentions in defense.

  Almost the entire Frost Flower Water Droplet was used by him to set up the array. It was hidden in the body of the Five Elements pawn and flowed like blood.

  Frost large water droplets rushed out and quickly condensed into a huge round shield, covering almost the entire body of the five elements pawn.

  Most of the arrows hit the shield, with little effect.

  Flying Dagger Feng's eyes flashed, but he did not panic.

  When he designed the Wooden Arrow, he thought about how to deal with iron lumps like the Five Elements Pawn.

  The next moment, he moved his fingers and controlled the Wood Arrow to take out three arrows from the big quiver behind him.

  The Wood Arrow placed all three arrows on his bow and fired at the same time!

   The three arrows didn't hit the Five Elements Pawn, but landed at its feet.

  Arrows rooted in the ground of the arena, grew rapidly, turned into countless thorns, and quickly spread to the five elements.

  Ning Zhuo quickly retracted his palm and pulled the five elements pawn back a few steps.

  At the same time, he moved his fingers frequently to command the five elements. He reached into his stomach and took out a handful of fire essence firecrackers

  Firecrackers fall and bang

  The thickets were blown up and the ground was black.

  Five Elements Pawn steps forward and continues to approach Wood Arrow.

  Feng Feidao frowned.

  He has exhausted his means of attack, but he cannot defeat the enemy.

  "The only way to win is through attrition.

”

  "Ning Zhuo's mechanical creation is heavy, and every move consumes spiritual energy much more than mine.

”

  "Moreover, its shield is heavy and large. Maintaining such a large shield will consume a lot of spiritual energy.

”

  "On the other hand, my Wood Arrow almost all uses ancient wood with spiritual patterns. Its absorption efficiency of surrounding spiritual energy far exceeds that of the other party.

There's also a spirit gathering array in my body. Compared to the consumption of spiritual energy, I have the advantage!"    

  Ning Zhuo's Five-Element Pawn moves forward while Feng Flying Dagger's Wooden Arrow maintains distance and keeps shooting.

  Both sides attack and defend, the situation is quite obvious

  The space of the ring is limited, Ning Zhuo took advantage of this, carefully designed the position of the five elements pawn, step by step to close the distance

  Flying Dagger Feng was also experienced. He used the round corners of the ring to move around without making any mistakes.

  Ning Zhuo's expression did not change. He began to control the five elements to throw firecrackers frequently.

  These firecrackers have their own damage range, which forces the Wood Arrow to roll and jump continuously, increasing the consumption of spiritual power.

  Wood Arrow retaliated with arrows and arrows, almost all of which were blocked by Ning Zhuo's water shield.

  Occasionally a few arrows hit the body, but also because of charcoal clay and little effect

  Feng Feidao's expression gradually darkened.

  He realized that he was at a disadvantage-he was running out of arrows! On the   other hand, Ning Zhuo seemed to have endless fire essence and firecrackers.

  For Feng Feidao, he did not have enough time to refine the mechanism.

But for Ning Zhuo, he has more than enough time

  Ning Zhuo's advantage in making mechanisms remained, and at this moment it was reflected on the battlefield.

  Feng Flying Dagger realized this and immediately reduced the frequency of shooting, using each arrow carefully.

  Seeing his opponent's performance, Ning Zhuo immediately reduced the area of his water shield to the size of a regular shield. He could protect half of his body instead of almost his entire body.

  "This water shield can actually shrink. It's not a form!" Flying Dagger Feng received the bad news again.

  The reduced water shield naturally consumed a lot of spiritual energy, so it wasn't that big anymore.

  Flying Dagger Feng forced himself to remain calm."Even so, my absorption of spiritual energy is still much higher than yours!"

  "I will be the ultimate victor in this protracted war of attrition!"

   Ning Zhuo looked serious.

  Of course, he also analyzed where the opponent's advantage lay.

  So, every time he threw a firecracker, he went all out.

  As time passed, Wood Arrow's middle-grade spirit stones had been exhausted. He relied on the spiritual energy absorbed from the outside world since the beginning of the war to move.

  Without abundant spiritual power to support it, its speed dropped by a large margin.

  Ning Zhuo's condition is not as bad as Feng Feidao imagined.

  Under normal circumstances, the middle-grade spirit stones of the five elements pawn would have been consumed long ago.

But now, it still had ten percent of its spirit stone reserves.

  This was because Ning Zhuo had adopted the arrangement of mutually generating five elements. Every time he used the Water Shield of Water Element, the Fireworks of Fire Element, and the Surface Protection of Earth Element, the mana consumption was much lower than that of direct use.

  Five Elements Pawn's spiritual energy reserves kept up with Wood Arrow, but they were not thrown off.

  The scales of victory, by this time, began to tilt towards it.

  Wood Arrow's speed is greatly reduced, making it easier to be killed by the range of fire essence firecrackers.

  These damages accumulate, and every little makes a mickle, damaging the spiritual pattern, making it less and less efficient at absorbing external spiritual energy, which can be said to be even worse.

  Finally, the slow-moving Five Elements pawn forces the slow-moving Wood Arrow into a corner.

  Both sides engaged in close combat

  Wood Arrow's fist hits the Five Elements pawn, scraping off layers of stone skin

  Five Elements Pawn's fists smashed down, and every time they smashed down, there would be popping sounds, and Wood Arrow would be punched one by one.

  This disparity was too obvious!

   Finally, the five elements pawn beat Wood Arrow until his legs broke and his hands broke. He was paralyzed on the ground and motionless.

  Flying Dagger Feng stared at this scene. His hands were shaking, and his veins were exposed. He was about to cramp.

  In the melee phase, his control was pushed to his limit. After all, Wood Arrow was weaker than melee. In order to maintain the scene, he had to do more.

  He was so busy that his fingers were almost knotted together, but in the end he tasted the bitter fruit of failure

  Ning Zhuo defeats the first enemy and gains a point

  A new message came, allowing him to rest for half a cup of tea

  He was transported to the square.

  Standing outside the ring, he realized that almost all the rings were fighting.

  Even the arena where he was just now immediately blurred and couldn't be seen clearly. Obviously, there were two other cultivators fighting.

  There are only two people in the square.

  One was Ning Zhuo, and the other was a Golden Core cultivator from the City Lord's Mansion.

  There is no need for communication between the two sides

  Ning Zhuo thought,"After the first round, before the second round, another Foundation Establishment cultivator was killed."

”

  "In other words, only 22 people participated in the second round of the palace examination.

”

  "But there are only two people in the field, which means that this quota still exists.

Which means, in the next round, I might run into this gap.

”

  Ning Zhuo couldn't see clearly the situation below the ring when he was on the ring just now. Otherwise, he could have deduced it long ago.

  "The message says that everyone has to fight each other once.

Although one person was lost, the quota was still reserved, the same as in the first round of the palace examination.

”

  "So, you can still count twenty-three.

”

  Ning Zhuo counted with his fingers: "In this case, the total number of battles has reached 253."

”

  "There are ten rings. Assuming they start and end at the same time, there will be 25 rounds.

”

  "This is only the first competition.

According to Long Yuan and Huo Ling, there would be at least three times in the second round of the court examination.

”

  "Including the rest time between each round, the total duration of the second round of the court examination is at least ten days.

”
