Chapter 376 Ning Zhuo vs Chang Yan

The next day, Lin Shanshan asked again.

Ning Zhuo told her that he had already comprehended the first picture and was currently studying the second one.

Lin Shanshan was very surprised and asked Ning Zhuo to perform a spell on the spot.

After Ning Zhuo did so, Lin Shanshan was shocked and said bluntly: "Mr. Ning Zhuo, I thought you were lucky to comprehend a picture in the remaining few days. I didn't expect you to have such amazing comprehension. I underestimated you too much because I didn't recognize a genius."

Ning Zhuo was modest and sincere.

He knew that his comprehension was not so outstanding, and the biggest contributor was Lingyin Willow.

Speaking of Lingyin Willow, with its help, Sun Lingtong also quickly comprehended three pictures, taking one hour less than Ning Zhuo.

Sun Lingtong's comprehension is extraordinary.

Ning Zhuo felt this a long time ago.

Every sword technique created by Sun Lingtong is very sharp. It can be said that his talent is quite outstanding.

On the third day, Lin Shanshan asked, and Ning Zhuo told her that he had understood the painting of Listening to the Waves at Night in the Mountain.

On the fourth day, Lin Shanshan asked again, and Ning Zhuo looked troubled, saying that he was stuck on the third painting of Peeping at the Sky from the Bottom of the Tree, which felt very difficult.

After being amazed, Lin Shanshan comforted Ning Zhuo, saying that this painting contained the strongest spells, and the difficulty of understanding it would naturally be more than doubled. Ning Zhuo was asked to try to be calm and not impatient. With the current two spells, it was enough to deal with Chang Yan.

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Not enough!"

"Please don't blame Miss Lin. I have decided to publicize that I will not use the Oily and Slippery Talisman in the battle with Chang Yan."

Lin Shanshan was puzzled, saying that this move was just tying his own hands and feet?

Ning Zhuo explained: "Although I have the talisman to protect me, I have always been vigilant and often remind myself not to rely too much on it."

"Because once you become dependent on it, you will weaken your enterprising spirit and greatly hinder the improvement of your own strength."

"Don't worry, Miss Lin, I am not a pedantic person."

"During this experience of Xiaozheng Peak, you should try your best to train yourself instead of relying on external things to show off your power. What's the point of showing off to these monks?"

After hearing this, Lin Shanshan looked at Ning Zhuo with new eyes again: "Mr. Ning Zhuo has such a temperament, he will definitely achieve success in the future. Sixteen years old..."

Lin Shanshan sighed. She had seen many teenagers of this age, showing off and arrogant, but how could they be as humble and steady as Ning Zhuo?

"Mr. Ning Zhuo, I am looking forward to your fight with Chang Yan."

Ning Zhuo smiled: "The success or failure of the moment is irrelevant. But if I lose to Chang Yan in the future, please don't blame me for failing to cultivate me."

"What cultivation? Mr.'s words really make me feel bad." Lin Shanshan looked ashamed.

In her opinion, Ning Zhuo was able to make such great progress mainly because he was smart enough, perceptive enough, and worked hard enough.

In Ning Zhuo's opinion, it is rare to have a sparring partner like Lin Shanshan. Lin Shanshan is a descendant of the Nascent Soul, and has been cultivated since childhood. All basic skills are quite solid and there are no shortcomings.

Ning Zhuo really learned a lot from sparring with her.

A few days later.

Ning Zhuo and Chang Yan appeared on the martial arts field.

Chang Yan was dressed in yellow and was six feet tall. He was very advanced in his transformation, and only his amber pupils were still the vertical pupils of snakes.

Humans are the spirits of all things.

Demon cultivators usually transform into human form. Once the transformation is successful, the spirituality will increase greatly, which will greatly benefit the comprehension of skills, spells, etc.

Therefore, from the degree of transformation, some of the strength of the demon cultivator can be inferred.

The snake pupil reflected Ning Zhuo's figure, and Chang Yan said: "Mr. Ning Zhuo, I heard that you spread the news that you will never use the talisman to protect yourself in this battle. Is it true?"

Ning Zhuo nodded and shook his head: "In a critical moment, I will naturally use the talisman to protect my life. However, relying on the golden elixir talisman to compete with Taoist Chang Yan is a bit unfair. It is also not conducive to honing my fighting skills and determination to make progress."

"So, in this battle and the next battle, as long as I use the slick talisman to protect myself, I will take the initiative to admit defeat."

As soon as this was said, the spectators were in an uproar.

Some people praised: "I didn't expect that Ning Zhuo, who came from a big family, would have such a spirit!"

Some people sneered: "The talisman is also part of one's own strength. Giving it up is like tying one's own hands, which is extremely pedantic!"

Lin Shanshan was still mixed in the crowd. When she heard someone mocking Ning Zhuo, she sneered and thought to herself: "How can you understand Mr. Ning Zhuo?"

Chang Yan got Ning Zhuo's response and snorted: "Since you have made such a decision, don't regret it if you lose later."

Ning Zhuo smiled and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please."

The battle began.

Chang Yan stomped his feet and went directly into the ground.

His body is a soil snake, and the method of earth escape has long been an instinct for survival, as familiar as breathing.

Generally speaking, when a cultivator deals with the art of earth escape, he naturally prioritizes rising into the air.

In this way, Chang Yan will inevitably miss if he uses earth escape to sneak attack at close range.

But Ning Zhuo did not do so. Instead, he silently chanted, matched his hand gestures, and finally half-crouched down, slapping his palms on the ground.

Wood Element - Roots and vines entangled.

Chang Yan quickly shuttled underground and was about to rush to Ning Zhuo's feet.

At this time, a large number of tree roots and vines grew underground, protecting the land under Ning Zhuo's feet like a rock.

The roots and vines drilled through the soil and quickly entangled Chang Yan.

Chang Yan hurriedly dodged.

He dodged at an extremely fast speed and used the earth magic in secret.

Earthquake!

The ground on the martial arts field shook violently, and the invisible shock force came from the source, rushing towards Ning Zhuo and the tree roots and vines under his feet.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and blasted out the second spell that he had prepared long ago.

Wood magic - pine waves and green waves.

This is the spell that Ning Zhuo learned from the picture of listening to the waves at night in the mountain.

In an instant, 50% of the magic power surged out.

One part of the fire magic power generates two parts of the earth magic power. Two parts of the earth magic power generate four parts of the metal magic power, and four parts of the metal magic power generate eight parts of the water magic power. Eight parts of the water magic power naturally have sixteen parts of the wood magic power!

Ning Zhuo's five elements of magic power are evenly distributed, one part of the fire magic power is equivalent to sixteen parts of the wood magic power. One part of the earth magic power can be converted into eight parts of the wood magic power. One gold element mana turns into four wood element mana. One water element mana turns into two wood element mana.

Together with the previous wood element mana, there are thirty-one!

After the five elements are generated, the entire mana has expanded more than six times!

Therefore, the pine waves and green waves that are performed form a series of vast and long green waves, which are pushed out in all directions.

The green waves and the invisible power of the earthquake collide with each other, turning the ground of the entire martial arts field upside down.

The earth shook, cracks were everywhere, large pieces of soil sank, and some were squeezed and bulged.

Both sides used magic to fight in the air.

Ning Zhuo was only in the early stage of foundation building, but relying on the excellence of the three sects' upper methods and the transformation of the five elements, he fought evenly with Chang Yan, who was in the late stage of foundation building.

But this is not over yet!

Ning Zhuo shouted loudly and clapped his palms in front of his chest.

Wood Element - The tree world is coming!

The vines drilled through the soil, drilled out of the ground, and quickly rose to grow into giant trees.

The thick forest, countless branches and leaves formed an airtight tree cage.

In this huge tree world, Chang Yan was like a bug, trapped in it.

Chang Yan was shocked, feeling the boundless wood element magic power, constantly eroding him.

"He actually knows this trick!"

Chang Yan didn't dare to use any earth element magic anymore. In this tree world, it was purely adding nutrients to the opponent.

He had to activate various magic tools, using the sharpness of the magic tools to cut off the vines and cut down the trees.

However, no matter how many he cut down, as many trees would grow in an instant.

If it weren't for the limited range of the martial arts field, Ning Zhuo could still expand the entire tree world.

Chang Yan is a demon cultivator. In this Nandou country, there is no big demon cultivator force. Chang Yan is just a casual cultivator.

Since he is a casual cultivator, his magic tools are mediocre, all of them are crooked melons and cracked dates.

The effect of these magic weapons was minimal, and they didn't even work when they were close to Ning Zhuo.

Chang Yan's strength was earth magic, but Ning Zhuo used three rounds of magic directly, which took the lead. The entire battlefield was arranged properly, and Chang Yan had no chance to turn over.

"Hateful!"

"If I had used earth magic first and attacked him, it would never be so ugly now!"

After holding on for a while, Chang Yan had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Thank you." Ning Zhuo jumped down from the treetop, bowed to Chang Yan, and was polite.

Chang Yan's mouth twitched, shook his head, calmed down, coldly congratulated Ning Zhuo a few words, and was the first to leave the martial arts field.

"Win!" Lin Shanshan clenched her fists, excited.

She already knew that Ning Zhuo had mastered these three wood magics. But after witnessing this victory with her own eyes, she still felt a little unbelievable.

The first two spells are fine, but the key is the third one, the tree world descent, which is very difficult to cultivate, but Ning Zhuo was able to master it in one fell swoop.

"Such comprehension!" Lin Shanshan was full of emotion, "This is comparable to the comprehension of the swordsmanship of the senior brother."

The monks watching were also sighing.

"I didn't expect Ning Zhuo to master the tree world descent technique."

"I have seen many wood monks, and I saw someone perform this technique with my own eyes, and it was in front of me."

"The tree world descent is indeed powerful, but Ning Zhuo's mana reserves are also quite strong. It has been maintained for so long without any signs of decline."

"If you ask me, his tactical choice is very correct. It was because he seized the initiative that Chang Yan was unable to turn over. Chang Yan was originally restrained by the wood magic and lost the initiative, so he was defeated so easily."

The monks analyzed the battle situation and did have a lot of insights.

For this battle, the public believed that it should be a protracted war of attrition. Unexpectedly, it ended so quickly under Ning Zhuo's strong wood magic.

"Ning Zhuo has obtained Chang Yan's cave, but it's far from over. His fighting power can definitely challenge the top ten caves."

Just as the monks were guessing who Ning Zhuo would challenge next, Ning Zhuo had already left the martial arts arena and walked side by side with Lin Shanshan in the tree-lined path.

"Miss Lin, I would like to ask you for a favor." During the conversation, Ning Zhuo suddenly said, "This may make you feel embarrassed."
