"Defeat me." Hua Guzi depleted all her Mana.
Wood Element—Flower Sea Tide!
The petals converged into huge waves, sweeping across the entire battlefield, rushing towards Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo's face was stern, and he pushed with both palms.
Wood Element—Pine Waves Green Waves.
Wood Element Mana surged out, forming a massive tide of green light that countered the pink Flower Sea Tide.
Boom boom boom...
The two giant waves collided against each other, creating waves after waves continuously, the momentum astonishing, shaking the entire battlefield and the hearts of the spectators!
However, the standoff did not last long before the tide of the pink Flower Sea overwhelmed the green waves, pushing the front line towards Ning Zhuo's position.
The situation on the battlefield was clear.
The spectators buzzed with discussion.
"Ning Zhuo is being suppressed!"
"He is practicing some kind of Five Elements Magic, attacking with just Wood Element does not bring out his true combat strength."
"His Cultivation Technique is quite mysterious, capable of freely transforming Five Elements Mana, and under the generating interaction, it could double his strength. With such an outstanding Cultivation Technique, he should have converted to Fire-attribute and Gold Element for the battle."
"Young people are just full of vigor, wanting to use Wood Element to contest against Hua Guzi's Wood Element to see who is superior, understandable, haha."
Ning Zhuo's face remained stern.
His skill in Wood Element was merely elementary, akin to a quick solution thanks to the Understanding Law Map.
But his choice of tactic was not to compete with Hua Guzi in Wood Element, but rather to use real combat to verify his true standing.
Hua Guzi mainly cultivated Wood Element Technique, using it as her primary method, her combat strength ranking in the top ten of Little Struggle Peak.
Ning Zhuo knew very well that the time and energy he put into Wood Element was far inferior to Hua Guzi's, thinking to rely on this alone to win was quite difficult.
He never underestimated the heroes of the world; he just wanted to test himself first to see his own caliber against an experienced Wood Element cultivator like Hua Guzi.
"Hua Guzi designed tactics targeting me!"
"Using a later move to counter my aggressive tactics."
"My Wood Element Mana was largely eroded and absorbed by her, converted and enhanced her own combat strength."
"I've learned something."
"Her realm in Wood Element Magic completely dominates over me, hence she can use Wood Element Magic to counter Wood Element Magic."
"This later move tactic also comes with conditions."
Ning Zhuo didn't panic.
He only released his Mechanical Fist and Feet when he saw the Flower Sea Tide advancing to his face, less than five steps away.
The Mechanical Fist and Feet were made of Foundation Establishment Level materials, inherently resisting the Flower Sea Tide.
Moreover, they were equipped with Defensive Magic Array and Talismans, making each one tough and strong.
They surrounded Ning Zhuo, spiraled around him for a while, and then all of them struck out.
Various punches and kicks blasted out, causing countless gaps in the Flower Sea Tide.
Ning Zhuo persisted, using twenty Mechanical Fist and Feet to completely disperse the red-pink light waves.
"Mechanical Techniques!" Everyone was astonished.
They had assumed that Ning Zhuo would use Five Elements Magic to fight.
Instead, Ning Zhuo suddenly employed Mechanical Techniques, and his proficiency was far beyond normal.
"Go." After using Mechanical Fist and Feet to clear a path for himself, Ning Zhuo immediately manipulated the hanging threads, commanding these Mechanical Fist and Feet to surge forward and strike at Hua Guzi.
Hua Guzi revealed a cruel smile, took a deep breath, and used Wood Element Magic.
Thorny Flower Wall!
Thorny vines spread rapidly, forming several flower walls in just a few breaths, blocking in front of Hua Guzi.
Ning Zhuo stepped forward and controlled the Mechanical Fist and Feet, employing Martial Arts.
Martial Arts—Suffering Body!
Martial Arts—Frost Freeze Fist!
Martial Arts—Old Cold Leg!
The Mechanical Fist and Feet charged relentlessly, their fighting style consistent with that of Hanzhou, utterly heedless of themselves, smashing directly into the Thorny Flower Walls.
If they were bodies of flesh and blood, such reckless actions would certainly cause severe injuries, with skin torn and blood gushing.
The Thorny Flower Wall served both offensive and defensive purposes, quite ingenious.
But these Mechanical Artifacts were neither flesh nor Cultivators; driven by Ning Zhuo, they had no reservations.
Bitter Cold Qi surged! The Thorny Flower Walls flourished with fresh flowers but were shattered one by one in the bitter cold, the thorns and fresh flowers continuously frozen to death.
Not only that, the added Suffering Body made these Mechanical Artifacts faster, more ferocious in attack, and even more outstanding in defense after being damaged.
Hua Guzi's expression changed slightly; while retreating explosively, she used her spells.
Wood Element—Purple Flower Intense Flame!
Wood Element Mana surged out, condensing into several millstone-sized purple flowers in mid-air.
The purple flowers bloomed, their petals spinning like windmills, and from the core, streams of fire sprayed out.
The flames were purple tinged with red, red tinged with purple. When they fell on Wood Element-induced trees and flowers, they caused no damage whatsoever, but they firmly adhered to and continuously scorched the Mechanical Artifacts.
Martial Arts—Pouring Bitter Water!
Ning Zhuo had been practicing with Hanzhou for many days and had absorbed the Bitter Cold Power from refining Bitter Water, making him very proficient in various martial arts.
He then remotely controlled the Mechanical Fist, changing its form into the stance of Drunken Boxing, and struck out at the surrounding Mechanical Fist and Feet.
In a moment, the Bitter Cold Qi compressed and condensed, turning into handfuls of Bitter Water that doused the other Mechanical Fist and Feet, extinguishing the purple flames.
The Mechanical Fist and Feet helped each other, not just resolving the scorching of the purple flames but also enhancing the potency of the martial arts of the Suffering Body with the addition of Bitter Water.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Mechanical Fist and Feet suddenly increased in speed, previously like birds, now more like bullets.
They attacked right in front of Hua Guzi.
Wood Element—Fragrant Flower Illusion.
Seeing herself falling far behind in speed and unable to win time by moving swiftly, Hua Guzi had no choice but to cast a spell, vanishing on the spot, leaving behind only traces of fragrance, her presence completely obscured.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Mechanical Fist and Feet smashed where she had disappeared, the floor tiles cracking into countless pieces, flying everywhere, dust swirling, and the ground continuously trembling.
The spectators fell silent.
They hadn't expected the situation in the battlefield to change so quickly!
As soon as Ning Zhuo deployed these Mechanical Fist and Feet, he turned the situation around, and now he was on the offensive, forcing Hua Guzi to flee everywhere.
"Isn't he a cultivator of the Five Elements Magic?"
"How is he also so skilled in Mechanical Techniques?!"
"No, I feel that his manner in controlling the mechanics is even more adept and natural than when he performs Wood Element Magic."
Countless gazes were fixed on Ning Zhuo, many with complex expressions.
Ning Zhuo was only sixteen.
For his age, mastering Wood Element Magic like Tree Realm Descent was already very rare.
Everyone thought this was the main part of Ning Zhuo's strength. However, during this battle, he showcased the Mechanical Fist and Feet and his incredibly skilled, natural control...
People found that they couldn't quite figure Ning Zhuo out.
They began to feel that perhaps Ning Zhuo was hiding something else, something unfathomable.
Hua Guzi was forced to flee everywhere!
The Martial Arts Arena was only so large, and with the Mechanical Fist and Feet being so fast, even though Hua Guzi could teleport short distances, she was often quickly chased down.
"Ning Zhuo! Don't be too arrogant!!" Hua Guzi screamed.
She knew the situation was very unfavorable for her, and if she didn't use her last resort, she would truly be defeated.
Wood Element—Flower World!
The next moment, Ning Zhuo's vision abruptly changed, the Martial Arts Arena disappeared, and he found himself in a world of blooming flowers made up of countless flowers.
"Illusion Technique!" Ning Zhuo realized instantly.
Within the Mechanical Dragon, Sun Lingtong, too, grew tense, his eyes emitting Spirit Light, piercing through the disguise and seeing Hua Guzi charging towards Ning Zhuo.
"Little Zhuo..." Sun Lingtong felt a bit anxious, ready to act. Should Ning Zhuo fall into a crisis, he would operate the Mechanical Dragon to protect and escort him.
But the next moment, sudden Buddha Light appeared on the Mechanical Fist and Feet.
The Buddha Light, like the hands of giants, effortlessly tore apart the entire Flower World.
Hua Guzi's face drained of color, feeling an incredibly powerful and extremely solid Divine Sense like giant vajra staffs pounding directly into her Divine Sea.
"How can there be such a formidable Divine Sense?! Agh." Hua Guzi, about to reach Ning Zhuo, suddenly experienced massive bleeding from her seven orifices, suffering severe injury.
It turned out her spell, Flower World, involved a method that completely engaged her own spirit. By covering the target's senses and Divine Sense with her own Divine Sense...
However, Ning Zhuo's Divine Sense had suddenly strengthened so much. It was like water can put out fire, but a cup of water against a raging fire not only fails to help but is evaporated by the flames.
"Huh?!" At this moment, Sun Lingtong also widened his eyes in surprise.
He hadn't expected Ning Zhuo to have such a tactic.
"What's going on?"
He used the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon to scout and instantly found that Ning Zhuo's twenty Mechanical Fist and Feet were all emitting strong Divine Sense impacts.
"Oh! Vajra Mirror!!" Sun Lingtong suddenly understood.
He had once sparred with Ning Zhuo in the village of Mist Hidden Mountain, learning that the Divine Sense from the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique, when paired with external objects, undergoes a qualitative change.
Later, after leaving Mist Hidden Mountain and arriving in Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, Ning Zhuo had forged the Vajra Mirror Magic Artifact, and Sun Lingtong was aware of this.
"So, within these Mechanical Fist and Feet, there are Vajra Mirrors hidden."
Sun Lingtong found it very clever.
These Vajra Mirrors could receive Ning Zhuo's Divine Sense, transform it, and then emit it.
Ning Zhuo's Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Divine Sense, after transformation by these mirror artifacts, became very solid and forceful, directly breaking through Hua Guzi's Flower World, focusing on overwhelming power!
Hua Guzi's Divine Sense suffered heavy damage, her Divine Sea turned chaotic, her head spinning, almost causing her to faint on the spot.
Her combat experience was very rich, she immediately switched from offense to defense, retreating madly.
Ning Zhuo didn't seize this opportunity, missing by a step, letting the vines entangle the air.
Hua Guzi took out one dumpling after another from her Storage Bracelet, swallowing them whole, and quickly regained her state.
This reminded Ning Zhuo of related intelligence—Hua Guzi was not only adept in combat but also a Spirit Chef, proficient in the culinary arts among the Cultivation Hundred Skills.
