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

In addition to spiritual stones, the spiritual power equipment also has a spiritual gathering array to extend the battery life. It is very convenient to use ancient wood strips with spiritual patterns in the body as transportation routes.

If we want to talk about the characteristics of the Five Elements pawn, it is that it has no characteristics.

In other words, it is equilibrium.

In terms of offense and defense, spiritual power, speed, etc., there is no outstanding item.

This is what Ning Zhuo did deliberately.

If there is no outstanding item, it will not be obviously restrained.

The second round of the palace examination has just begun, and he needs to try to gain as much experience as possible. Therefore, this kind of machine-made creation with balanced performance has hope for anyone and can sustain it for a longer period of time.

Ning Zhuo made enough firecrackers to stretch the Five Elements Minions' ammunition capacity to the limit.

After completing this step, he still had a cup of tea before the time limit.

The actual completion was better than the plan he had imagined.

He closed his eyes to rest for a short while, then opened his eyes and used the spare time to detect the Five Elements pawns from the beginning.

In addition, he also used the lifting thread to control it and tested its performance in various aspects.

The control only lasted for a short time. Ning Zhuo confirmed that it was correct and stopped.

Before going into battle, you can't do too many tests. After all, as soon as the machine creation starts to move, it will start to wear out.

After the actual operation, Ning Zhuo still had some time left.

He carefully checked the desk and took turns checking the machine-making tools, but found nothing new.

In the last short period of time, Ning Zhuo closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and waited for the end of time.

When the time came, Ning Zhuo opened his eyes and found that it suddenly became clear right in front of him.

He saw his match.

He is a short man, dressed in a warrior's attire, with his face covered, only a pair of small eyes exposed.

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 confused.

The time limit has come and he is still making arrows for his machine puppet.

But after the time limit of the arena was reached, the two machine puppets were sent to the middle area.

Ning Zhuo stared closely at the opponent's machine puppet.

This yellow-green doll is tall and thin, holding a long bow, carrying a quiver on its back, and two small quivers tied around its waist.

There are a large number of arrows in the quiver, but it is not full.

Seeing the burly Five Elements Pawn with a large amount of charcoal-grilled clay piled on its surface, Feng Feidao immediately pulled his hand and pulled his Wooden Arrow Man back in his direction.

Shown in the center of the ring, the mechanical wooden arrow man retreated backwards and quickly opened the distance between himself and the Five Elements pawns.

"This speed..." Ning Zhuo couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Wooden Arrow Man was as fast as the wind, and he could easily distance himself.

In terms of speed, its advantages are clear at a glance.

Ning Zhuo quickly judged: "Judging from the appearance and this action, the other party used materials mainly composed of ancient wood with spiritual patterns."

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

"So, it performs quite well in terms of speed!"

After closing the distance, the Wooden Arrow Man quickly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and started shooting at the Five Elements pawns.

Boo hoo hoo.

When the arrows were shot, some exploded. Some instantly turned into ice picks, which had a piercing effect.

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

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

Fortunately, he put a lot of thought into defense.

Almost the entire large frost flower droplet was used by him to set up the formation, and was hidden in the body of the Five Elements soldiers, flowing like blood.

Large water droplets from the frost flower surged 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.

A ray of light flashed in Feng Feidao's eyes, but he was not panicked.

When he designed the Wooden Arrow Man, he had considered how to deal with tough guys like the Five Elements Pawns.

The next moment, he moved his fingers frequently and controlled the Wooden Arrow Man to take out three arrows from the large quiver behind him.

The Wooden Arrow Man put all three arrows on his bow and fired in full!

The three arrows did not hit the Five Elements Soldier, but fell at its feet.

The arrows took root on the ground of the arena, grew rapidly, turned into countless thorns, and quickly spread towards the Five Elements pawns.

Ning Zhuo quickly moved his hand back and pulled the Five Elements pawn back a few steps.

At the same time, he moved his fingers frequently, commanding the Five Elements pawns to reach into his belly and take out a handful of firecrackers.

Firecrackers were thrown down and exploded with a loud bang.

The thorn bushes were blown up and the ground was completely black.

The Five Elements pawn took steps and continued to approach the Wooden Arrow Man.

Feng Feidao frowned.

His attack methods have been exhausted, but he cannot defeat the enemy.

"The only solution for now is to gain a chance of victory through a war of attrition."

"Ning Zhuo's mechanism is heavy and consumes much more spiritual power every time it moves than I do."

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

"On the other hand, my Wooden Arrow Man almost all uses ancient wood with spiritual patterns, and the efficiency of absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy is far superior to that of his opponent. There is also a spirit gathering array in his body, so I have an advantage over the consumption of spiritual energy!"

The scene reached a stalemate.

Ning Zhuo's Five Elements pawns moved forward with their shields on their backs, while Feng Feidao's Wooden Arrows kept their distance and kept shooting.

Both sides are attacking and defending, and the situation is quite obvious.

The space in the arena is limited, and Ning Zhuo took advantage of this and carefully designed the positions of the Five Elements pawns to close the distance step by step.

Feng Feidao is also very experienced. He took advantage of the rounded corners of the arena and was always moving around without making any mistakes in his positioning.

Ning Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, and he began to control the Five Elements minions to throw mechanical firecrackers frequently.

The damage of these firecrackers has a built-in range, which forces the Wooden Arrow Man to continuously roll and jump, increasing the consumption of spiritual power.

The Wooden Arrow Man fought back with his bow and arrows, but almost all of them were 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 discovered one of his disadvantages - he didn't have enough arrows!

On the other hand, Ning Zhuo's firecrackers seem to be 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 it was reflected on the battlefield at this moment.

Feng Feidao realized this and immediately reduced the shooting frequency and used every arrow carefully.

Seeing the opponent's performance, Ning Zhuo immediately reduced the area of ​​​​the water shield until it was reduced to the size of a conventional shield, which could protect half of the body instead of almost the whole body before.

"This water shield can actually shrink, it's not just the same form!" Feng Feidao received another bad news.

The reduced water shield naturally consumes less spiritual power.

Feng Feidao forced himself to calm down: "Even so, my absorption of spiritual power is still much higher than yours!"

"In this protracted war of attrition, I will be the ultimate winner!"

Ning Zhuo looked serious.

Of course, he also analyzed what the other party's advantages were.

Therefore, every time he threw firecrackers, he went all out.

As time goes by, the middle-grade spiritual stones in Wood Arrow Man's body have been exhausted, and he relies on the external spiritual energy absorbed at the beginning of the war to act.

Without abundant spiritual support, its speed dropped a lot.

Ning Zhuo's situation was far from as bad as Feng Feidao imagined.

Under normal circumstances, the Five Elements Pawn's mid-grade spiritual stones would have been consumed long ago. But now, it still retains 10% of its spiritual stone reserves.

This is because Ning Zhuo adopts the arrangement of the five elements. Every time he uses the water shield of the water element, the firecrackers of the fire element, and the body surface protection of the earth element, the mana consumed is much less than the direct consumption.

The Five Elements Pawn's spiritual power reserves kept up with the Wooden Arrow Man and was not thrown away.

At this moment, the balance of victory began to gradually tilt towards it.

The Wooden Arrow Man's speed is greatly reduced, and he is more and more vulnerable to being killed by the Fire Spirit Firecracker's range.

These damages accumulate, adding up, destroying the spiritual pattern, and making it less efficient in absorbing external spiritual power, which can be said to make things worse.

In the end, the slow-moving Five Elements pawn forced the Wooden Arrow Man, whose speed was severely 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.

The Five Elements Soldier's fist struck down, making a banging sound every time, leaving wooden arrow man with fist marks and pits.

This difference is too obvious!

In the end, the Five Elements pawns beat the Wooden Arrow Man until his legs were broken and his hands were broken, and he lay paralyzed on the ground, motionless.

Feng Feidao stared at this scene, his hands shaking, his veins exposed, almost cramping.

In the melee stage, his control was stretched to his personal limit. After all, Wooden Arrow Man was weaker than melee, so if he wanted to maintain the situation, he had to make more operations.

He was so busy that his fingers almost knotted with each other, but in the end, he still tasted the bitter fruit of failure.

Ning Zhuo defeated the first enemy and gained some achievements.

New information came in, allowing him to take a half-cup of tea.

He was teleported to the square.

Standing outside the arena, he found that fighting was taking place in almost all arenas.

Even the arena he was in immediately became blurry, making it difficult to see clearly. It was obvious that two other monks were competing.

There were only two people in the square.

One is Ning Zhuo, and the other is a Jindan monk from the City Lord's Mansion.

There is no need for communication between the two parties.

Ning Zhuo's heart moved slightly: "After the first round of palace examinations and before the second round of palace examinations, another foundation-building monk was attacked and killed."

"That is to say, there are actually only twenty-two people participating in the second round of the palace examination."

"But there are only two people in the field, which means that this quota still exists. This means that in the next competition, I may encounter this vacancy."

On the ring just now, Ning Zhuo couldn't clearly see what was going on under the ring, otherwise he could have figured it out a long time ago.

"What the message said is that everyone has to fight against everyone else once. Although one person has been lost, the quota is still reserved, which is the same as the first round of the palace examination."

"So, it can still be counted as twenty-three."

Ning Zhuo counted with his fingers: "In this case, the total number of battles has reached two hundred and fifty-three."

"There are ten arenas. Assuming that the battle starts and ends at the same time, it will take twenty-five rounds."

"This is just the content of the first competition. According to Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, there will be at least three rounds of the second round of palace examinations."

"Including the rest time between each one, the total duration of the second round of the palace examination will be at least ten days."
Chapter completed!
