Inside the Grand Hall of the Lava Immortal Palace.

*Roar!*

Seeing Yuan Dasheng defeated, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit angrily raised its head, its dragon claws slamming hard against the armrest of the throne.

Although the rankings within the Lava Immortal Palace did not explicitly display it, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit knew that Yuan Dasheng’s demonic abilities, reaching the ninth level, were a perfect match for its own strong physique.

The problem was, its soul had been extracted into the palace, losing its original body, only possessing a puppet body. The puppet body had no blood or qi, unless it came into contact with the demonic sect after Room Number Nine.

At that time, Yuan Dasheng would only need to unleash a fraction of its true potential to soar into the sky, unstoppable.

The problem was, Ning Zhuo was blocking it!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit hoped that Ning Zhuo would make a mistake in battle.

From beginning to end, Ning Zhuo had not engaged in close combat with Yuan Dasheng. This shattered the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit’s hopes completely.

What made the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit especially angry was Ning Zhuo’s name on the rankings.

The naming was too cunning!

Yuan Dasheng had been deceived just like that.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit wished it could personally scratch off those words.

But it couldn’t.

For any disciple participating in the trial, it could not leak any information whatsoever. This was the strict constraint of the three sect grandmasters!

Room Number Eight.

Ning Zhuo began to clean up the battlefield.

Although he had won, he felt no joy.

This battle’s outcome was within his expectations.

Currently, he possessed so many spells and corresponding mechanical components, spiritual stones, and spiritual power far exceeding Yuan Dasheng. His overall strength was considerably greater.

Moreover, he had observed Yuan Dasheng beforehand, knowing its speed, strength, and other specific performances.

Rather than a head-on ambush, it was more accurately described as a hunt!

“But even if I defeat it multiple times, it will return, never truly dying.”

Therefore, this could not completely solve the problem.

Ning Zhuo carefully examined Yuan Dasheng’s mechanical components.

Taking advantage of the Lava Immortal Palace not yet cleaning things up, he hurriedly inspected them.

In the previous exchange, although Ning Zhuo had maintained the upper hand throughout, he felt immense pressure, sensing that it might have concealed a hidden talent.

Once there was a hidden talent, it might be evident from the mechanical components.

Just like Ning Zhuo’s Wisdom talent, which could be discerned from his large head.

However, after examining them two or three times, Ning Zhuo found nothing amiss.

Although the component sizes were large, the proportions between them were natural and reasonable, without any one aspect being excessively prominent.

“Like Meng Chong’s Rampaging Thunderous Charge, does it only manifest after activation?”

“No, if it could activate it, it should have used it in the previous battle.”

“Is it the puppet body that prevents it from using it? Or are there other limitations?”

Ning Zhuo sighed.

This search’s success was negligible.

Soon, he left Room Number Eight, heading back the way he came, seizing the time to repair the mechanical traps.

He also froze those Kung Fu puppets and brought them to the maintenance room, placing them on various mechanical platforms, using all sorts of mechanical crafting tools to repair and strengthen them.

Confirming that all the mechanical traps were repaired and reset properly, Ning Zhuo returned to the forefront checkpoint.

His current highest progress was Room Number One in both the Immortal and Demonic Sects. He could not enter the Buddhist Sect yet.

Inside Immortal Sect Room Number One, he actively sensed the disciple mark, voluntarily leaving the Immortal Palace.

Yuan Dasheng could clear up to Room Number Seven in one go, and others had the same potential.

Therefore, he deliberately left from the deepest point, minimizing the possibility of exposing himself as much as possible.

Ning Zhuo highly valued these details. He was cautious, not wanting to suffer a significant loss again due to small oversights.

His soul returned to his body, and Ning Zhuo continued to study the information on the Monkey Head Gang and Yuan Dasheng.

According to the intelligence: Yuan Yi’s aptitude was very poor, his origins humble, and he once lived by begging.

He was forced to join the Beggar Gang, and had to become cannon fodder, along with others, to explore the Crimson Flame Fiend Lava Cave.

During the exploration, he encountered a wounded Fiery Lava Ape cub.

Yuan Yi took the cub out of the volcano and formed a contract with it.

The cub was the later Yuan Dasheng.

Yuan Yi initially named it Dasheng (Great Remainder). For a long time, the two relied on each other, living in hardship.

Only when the Fiery Lava Ape gradually grew up and possessed stronger combat power did their situation begin to improve.

They first left the Beggar Gang and then made a living by beast fighting. Dasheng experienced countless bloody battles, gradually earning a reputation.

However, the black market beast fighting activities were quickly suppressed, and Yuan Yi and Dasheng lost their livelihood again.

The Beggar Gang troubled him, plotting against Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi and Dasheng suffered imprisonment, and bottomed out, rebounded, combined with inmates, broke the Beggar Gang’s private prison. After several days of fierce street fighting, they finally overthrew the Beggar Gang.

After the war, Yuan Yi made great contributions and was elected as the leader by everyone.

He took the opportunity to reorganize and establish the Monkey Head Gang.

At the beginning of the Monkey Head Gang’s establishment, it was jointly suppressed by the remaining gangs in Fire Persimmon City. It was precarious for several times, relying on Dasheng’s fighting to gain a firm foothold, and then gradually grew stronger.

In this process full of blood and rain, Dasheng’s name was gradually forgotten, and more and more people respectfully called it Dasheng (Great Victory). Yuan Yi, for the reputation of the gang, gave it a surname, and finally Dasheng became Yuan Dasheng.

“This is a hero who started from scratch, endured the test of blood and fire, and finally built a foundation!”

Ning Zhuo carefully studied Dasheng’s win rate during the beast fighting period, as well as the important battles in the gang fights afterwards.

“Looking at them separately, Yuan Dasheng’s battles have wins and losses. But if you calculate the overall win rate, there is a big problem.”

“Its win rate is too high, indicating that it hides some powerful trump card!”

Generally speaking, these existences that started from humble beginnings often encounter danger and find it difficult to hide their trump cards.

But Yuan Dasheng did it anyway.

From this point of view, the trump card it hides is likely to be very large, very large!

“It is likely to have a talent.”

“But this time, I didn’t detect it.”

Ning Zhuo frowned tightly, racking his brains, unable to come up with a solution.

The underground workshop was dead silent, and the atmosphere was quite oppressive.

Yuan Dasheng’s own strength was already strong enough, seriously threatening Ning Zhuo’s leading position, and even more devastating to Ning Zhuo’s layout.

Even more terrifying was the reaction of the other four major forces after Yuan Dasheng was exposed.

The reaction of these orthodox forces was almost the same, that is, coercion and enticement to make Yuan Dasheng work for them!

With such a powerful weapon, any one of them could gain a leading advantage, or even ultimately obtain the Lava Immortal Palace.

As for Yuan Dasheng cultivating demonic arts, it was nothing.

Were there few demonic cultivators acting as black gloves for the orthodox forces?

Sometimes, orthodox cultivators directly played the role of demonic cultivators to do things that were inconvenient for their orthodox identities to do.

And Yuan Dasheng was very easy to manipulate.

The Monkey Head Gang and Yuan Er were its weaknesses.

Once strong alliances were formed, Ning Zhuo’s defeat was almost set.

The following development was easy to deduce.

The orthodox forces and Yuan Dasheng joined forces, destroyed the mechanical traps, and quickly surpassed Ning Zhuo. Finally, it became the master of the Lava Immortal Palace, checked the records, learned of Ning Zhuo’s actions, and then captured Ning Zhuo, digging out my Buddhist Heart Demon Seal!
