Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 426 Seven Colors
In the center of the room stood a stone pillar, emitting a faint white light, with a slowly rotating stone book floating on it.

The stone book's surface was also colorful, just like the patterns on the wall.

As Cangfeizhiyan once said, the magic masters have studied this place called the Seven-Colored Room for many years, but they still haven't figured it out.

They had no idea what the Stone Book was. Some suspected it was a spellbook from an advanced civilization, but that was unlikely.

Zhou Leng took out the magical wristwatch and first took videos and photos to record it.

Then, staring at the rotating stone book, he created three-dimensional divine script images from all the cursive script on it.

On average, each character has more than 30 strokes, making them relatively simple characters. Only a few characters have more than 100 strokes, making them obscure and difficult to understand.

Zhou Leng studied and analyzed carefully.

Thanks to his extensive study of divine scripts from the Ancient River Sect, Zhou Leng quickly translated half of the divine scripts on the stone book.

Based on the translated divine texts, we can draw some preliminary conclusions.

"The seven-colored divine script on the wall is like a textbook."

"The text on the surface of the stone book is like the exam instructions, and the inside of the stone book is like the exam paper. After studying the textbook, you can open the stone book and answer the questions."

"Once you complete the quiz, the stone book will transform into a spellbook of an advanced civilization."

Zhou Leng glanced around the room at the seven-colored divine runes and gently shook his head.

These divine texts are nearly two thousand characters long, more than the two parts of the "Star-Gazing Manual" combined.

Although the content is knowledge-based rather than cultivation-related, and therefore less difficult, it's not something you can learn quickly on your own.

It's at least equivalent to the level of a first-year junior high school student in human terms.

However, since I'm free anyway, I might as well treat this as a form of learning.

So, Zhou Leng slowly began to learn the Seven-Colored Divine Script.

On the first day, both of them studied quietly.

When they got tired of studying, the two gathered together to chat and rest.

Zhou Leng requested the Chinese translation of the electronic dictionary of demonic knowledge to study the divine script.

The next day, Cang Fei Zhi Yan learned the magic spell and began to practice it continuously, with booming sounds filling the room.

The magical spell he learned was called 'Fire Dragon Spell', which could summon a fire dragon more than twenty meters long that would fly in the air with great momentum and astonishing power.

On the third day, Cang Fei Zhi Yan's Fire Dragon Technique reached the standard, completing the test, and he and Zhou Leng headed towards the next palace.

Zhou Leng glanced at the colorful room, feeling regretful.

I've only managed to learn about a third of the text, and I'm not even sure I'm doing it correctly.

Forget about passing, they don't even qualify to answer the questions.

However, as an assistant, obtaining so many divine texts is already a huge gain.

Entering the third room, there was a 100-meter-long arena.

Azure Flame said, "This is the path of battle. You don't need to take action. You just need to help me deal with the opponent's demonic assistants. Of course, if the opponent is too strong, I will ask you for help."

"no problem."

Cang Fei Zhi Yan sat meditating, while Zhou Leng studied divine script.

Half an hour later, the aged voice rang out.

"The third stage of the Ancient Spirit Path: The Path of Battle. Spirit Masters are not only scholars who study spirit magic, but also powerful individuals who wield violence. Over the next few days, you will encounter dozens of battles. The more victories you achieve, the higher your ranking will be. The first round of battles begins."

shuh...

With a flash of light, Zhou Lenghe and Cang Feizhiyan were teleported to one side of the arena.

Ahead, a spirit master and a spirit assistant appeared.

That demonic assistant is a black dragon.

"I suggest you concede to avoid affecting your next battle. Also, this place only protects the trial participants; the protection for the demon assistants isn't nonexistent, but it's practically useless." The demon master opposite him smiled as he looked at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng already knew this and looked at the black dragon.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Black Dragon impatiently lunged at Zhou Leng.

The spirits on the shoulders of the two spirit masters flew up and transformed into different animal forms, first casting protective spirit spells to protect themselves.

Then, prepare to cast a spell to test the waters...

Bang!
The two magic masters looked at Zhou Leng and Heilong, who should have been fighting.

Zhou Leng pulled his right arm out of the black dragon's head, took out the magic bottle, and placed his fingers on the bottle's mouth.

With a surge of true energy, the dragon brain matter on his arm flowed down and fell into the demonized bottle.

Zhou Leng took out the legendary longsword Frost Cry and, relying on the knife skills he had honed in the monster slaughterhouse, quickly sliced ​​it apart.

Frost Cry itself contains freezing power, which quickly freezes wounds and reduces bleeding.

The two magic masters stared blankly as Zhou Leng dismembered the black dragon as quickly as slaughtering a bull, and then smoothly took away the black dragon's magic pouch.

"How many moves did you... use?" The sorcerer opposite him had a dry throat.

He saw it, but couldn't believe it.

With just one punch, he pierced the brain and killed the victim.

No martial arts moves were of any use.

Zhou Leng glanced at the small amount of dragon blood on the ground, thinking to himself that he still needed to practice, and then looked at the two of them.

"Don't you need my help?" Zhou Leng asked Cang Feizhiyan.

"No need." Cang Fei Zhi Yan's throat was also a little dry.

That's a giant dragon. Although it's a True Liquid Innate Realm cultivator, it can easily kill an ordinary Bloodthirst Innate Realm cultivator.

On second thought, Zhou Leng was able to kill Mingzhu Zhihui and the Flesh and Blood Chariot by fighting two against one, and he could withstand the Great Demon Flame Explosion without dying. It seems that killing a True Liquid Innate with one punch is nothing.

The opposing magic master bowed to Azure Flame and said, "We are all polite and elegant magic masters. There is no need for a life-or-death struggle. I concede."

Cang Fei Zhi Yan hurriedly said, "If he's not going to fight, let's spar a bit. I won't hurt you."

The demon master looked at Azure Flame with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I get accidentally killed by a single punch, who will I turn to?"
"I surrender!" the demon master shouted.

A beam of light descended, enveloping the spirit master.

The light faded, and the magician departed.

Cang Feizhiyan looked at Zhou Leng and said tactfully, "Next time, use the other party's assistant as your sparring partner and practice more."

“That makes sense. Should I protect you if you’re in danger?” Zhou Leng asked. Cang Fei Zhi Yan replied, “Not necessarily. This trial can protect the participants, but the reaction speed isn’t particularly fast. If it’s too dangerous, you should still keep an eye on me.”

"When does the next match start?" Zhou Leng asked.

"About half an hour," said Cang Fei Zhi Yan.

“Perfect, you can meditate and cultivate, and I will study the divine script,” Zhou Leng said.

The two of them were busy with their own things.

Half an hour later, the second opponent appeared.

This opponent is an ordinary spirit master who can't afford to hire a spirit assistant.

Zhou Leng watched the battle from the sidelines.

Azure Flame deliberately uses her opponents as whetstones, so she only uses ordinary or newly learned magic spells.

His talent was too great; he forced the opposing magic master to scramble and panic simply by repeatedly using the newly learned Fire Dragon Technique.

In less than five minutes, the opponent conceded defeat.

Gradually, I encountered one opponent after another.

Nearly half of the opponents were lone demon spirit masters, and Zhou Leng only kept watch from the sidelines.

For those who had assistants to fight, Zhou Leng learned from his mistakes and used them to hone his martial arts skills, rather than immediately killing them.

Demons, sirens, or orcs are exceptions; kill them when you have the chance.

They show no mercy even when encountering dragons.

A primordial dragon can eat for a very long time.

At first, you can encounter opponents very quickly, but the pace gradually slows down, and later it often takes two or three hours to encounter an opponent.

When night fell, they rested on the spot.

The opponent on the second day was even more difficult, but Cang Fei Zhi Yan still did not ask Zhou Leng for help and insisted on fighting the opposing demon spirit master alone.

On the third day, the opponent's strength soared, and Azure Flame struggled more and more.

To Zhou Leng, all his assistants were pretty much the same.

Zhou Leng thought this was a good idea; he could watch the battles while fighting and study the divine runes while waiting.

Gradually, they have completed the initial translation of more than 1,500 divine texts, and their knowledge of demonic spirits has increased rapidly.

Now, watching battles between magic users allows one to understand each other's attack methods, fighting styles, and various strengths and weaknesses.

When using divine script knowledge to make a direct comparison, one can even perceive some flaws in the Azure Flame.

After all, the knowledge of advanced civilizations is more solid.

Having witnessed many battles between demon spirit masters, Zhou Leng also gained some insights.

After advancing to the Grandmaster or even Martial Saint level, the release of true energy becomes more powerful, and there are more ways to attack. Some combat methods of demonic arts can be borrowed.

In this battle, Zhou Leng stood not far from Cang Fei Zhi Yan, quietly watching the fight.

The opponent's giant assistant was lying on the ground, fast asleep.

Crimson Flame and its opponent continue their battle.

Spells occasionally flew in, but Zhou Leng waved his right hand, releasing his true energy to shatter them.

The opposing magic master's pure destructive power is not as great as Azure Flame's, but his basic skills are extremely solid, his combat is steady, and his flaws are far fewer than Azure Flame's.

The demon master has a badge affixed to his chest.

Above the badge is a colorful fountain.

Zhou Leng looked down and checked the source of the badge.

The badge of the Heart of Elements.

One of the three most powerful forces in the world of Demon Spirits, the true demigod lineage.

"No wonder."

Zhou Leng observed carefully and realized that his opponent was definitely a top student. If Cang Fei Zhi Yan made the slightest mistake, he would be defeated.

The hand moved slightly.

Itchy hands.

I really want to fight a demon master of this caliber.

Both sides fought to the very end, drenched in sweat, their magic power no longer replenished.

Zhou Leng, seeing that things had progressed sufficiently, said, "My friend from the Heart of Element, you two are evenly matched. If you were to continue fighting, it would only result in mutual destruction, affecting the subsequent trials. We should have two on each side..."

At this moment, the giant raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

Zhou Leng stepped forward and stomped on the back of the giant's head with 30% of his strength.

The giant rolled his eyes and fainted for the seventh time.

Another small dent appeared on the back of my head.

“There are two of us on each side. If I make a move, you will undoubtedly lose.” Zhou Leng continued to stare at the demon spirit master.

The demon master stopped casting spells, and the crimson flames also ceased.

The sorcerer nodded and said, "You are very strong. I suspect you are stronger than both of us. I concede defeat in this battle; it is my first loss. My name is Song of the Long Wind. And you two?"

"Azure Flame".

"Zhou Leng".

"I am very happy to have met two masters." Changfeng Zhige said politely. After admitting defeat, he and the giant were taken away by the light.

"The Heart of Elements?" Zhou Leng asked.

Cangfei Zhiyan said, "That's right. Changfeng Zhige... No wonder he was able to be in the top ten among his peers in the Heart of Elements. I originally thought that with my many adventures, I would be able to rank in the top ten among the three towers of my peers, but now it seems that even the top thirty is difficult."

“If you enter the Three Towers, your strength will definitely far surpass theirs,” Zhou Leng said.

"Thank you for your kind words," Cang Fei Zhi Yan said with a smile.

Zhou Leng casually said, "Your Fire Dragon Technique has some flaws in its control method. The Fire Dragon Technique is suitable for impact attacks. You changed it to a circling attack, which seems good, but the destructive power is greatly reduced."

"Hmm? I'll give it a try." Cang Fei Zhi Yan cast the Fire Dragon Technique with some skepticism, launching a series of impact attacks before quickly grasping its essence.
