Chapter 46: Here You Come Again

The reward for Room Two included two spirit stones, a glass throwing knife as a mechanical component, and the spell "Grasping Fire."

Ning Zhuo directly chose the spirit stones.

Upon entering Room Three, he once again encountered the Kung Fu Automaton.

Without hesitation, Ning Zhuo embraced it, enduring its blows while fully unleashing the Freezing Embrace technique.

Moments later, the Kung Fu Automaton was once again a frozen statue.

Its large eyes glowed yellow, as if glaring at Ning Zhuo for his lack of martial virtue.

Ning Zhuo thought apologetically, "I know this trial is meant to train my automaton in close combat techniques. Unfortunately, I lack the time at present. If I have the chance in the future, I will come back to hone my skills."

The reward for Room Three consisted of ten spirit stones, a small flying box as a mechanical component, and the spell "Grafting Wood."

Ning Zhuo once again chose the spirit stones.

Finally, he returned to the Refitting Chamber!

Ning Zhuo's heart surged with excitement.

He observed the smooth, empty floor: "My second automaton body from the previous exploration has been cleared away."

He rushed to the rotating five-sided stone pillar and placed his hand upon it.

"I want to come off the rankings!" With determination, Ning Zhuo channeled his spiritual power and modulated his soul force, sensing the Demonic Imprint of the Buddha's Heart.

The Demonic Imprint of the Buddha's Heart did not disappoint him. Soon, he saw his name slowly sinking.

However, after his name had completely descended, it gradually rose again!

"How could this be?!" In an instant, Ning Zhuo was petrified.

Great Hall of the Magma Immortal Palace.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit happily lifted its head and opened its mouth, spewing forth a great gout of flame.

Its expression was somewhat gloating, as if saying, "Serves you right for using the Demonic Imprint of the Buddha's Heart to cheat!"

If he were not in an automaton body, Ning Zhuo would have been drenched in cold sweat.

"I can't hide my name?"

"This means I must have my name displayed."

"Wait, let's think differently. Perhaps I can change my name?"

Ning Zhuo continued to experiment.

His first attempt yielded results, and he was delighted to see his name had changed.

From Ning Zhuo, it became Ning Ji!

Roar!

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit, which had been in a state of joy, lifted its head and roared in anger, causing the Immortal Palace to shake violently.

On the summit of Fire Persimmon Mountain, the Fire Persimmon Immortal City Lord immediately opened his eyes, vigilantly watching the Immortal Palace within the volcano's crater.

After carefully observing for a while, confirming that the Immortal Palace had only trembled once, he slowly closed his eyes again and re-entered meditation.

Ning Zhuo looked up at the ranking board, shaking his head slightly.

"Changing the name to Ning Ji won't work. It's too easy to trace."

"What if I change it to Meng Chong?"

"No, that's even dumber."

"If Meng Chong came to the Refitting Chamber, he would discover that he occupies the first and second positions. That would give me away immediately."

"What name should I change it to?"

Ning Zhuo was perplexed.

Even using a strange name would be a flaw.

After pondering for a moment, a flash of inspiration struck Ning Zhuo, and he thought of a solution.

He gazed at the already modified name on the ranking board, muttering to himself, "Doing this should fool them for a while, right?"

Great Hall.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit repeatedly slammed its head against the pillars.

It was in considerable pain, watching helplessly as someone cheated, yet it could not stop them. Although it was the Palace Spirit, there were many limitations on what it could do.

With each impact, the entire Magma Immortal Palace trembled.

Deep within the smoky clouds high above, the City Lord suddenly opened his eyes, his brow furrowed, his gaze gleaming: "Is it going to erupt again?!"

But after waiting with bated breath for a long time, he only saw the Magma Immortal Palace shaking, causing waves of magma to surge outwards.

It was quite rhythmic.

The City Lord gradually relaxed, completely baffled: "Is the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit having a seizure? What on earth is it doing!"

Ning Zhuo, on the other hand, was feeling delighted.

He discovered that once he changed a name on one ranking board, all the other ranking boards would follow suit.

He did not need to overdraw his spiritual power and soul force to change the names individually.

"The reality is much easier than I imagined!"

"So, never be afraid of difficulties. Sometimes, difficulties are more imagined than real."

Ning Zhuo encouraged himself.

At this moment, he still had a considerable amount of spiritual power remaining, and half of his soul force. He could certainly continue exploring.

Ning Zhuo did not rush into the next level, but instead searched the Refitting Chamber.

He was about to take a welding torch hanging on the wall when the billing information was transmitted.

Ning Zhuo, however, did not intend to pay this time, but once again sensed the Demonic Imprint of the Buddha's Heart.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit flicked its dragon tail, letting out a cold snort, its disdain overflowing.

Soon after, Ning Zhuo sighed in disappointment.

The Demonic Imprint of the Buddha's Heart could not allow him to use these tools for free, or even reduce the fees or offer a discount.

The specific permissions granted by this precious imprint, and the extent to which it could be used, needed to be tested by Ning Zhuo one by one.

Ning Zhuo returned to the stone pillar ranking board.

This five-sided stone pillar rotated every so often, to display its five ranking boards.

Ning Zhuo touched the stone pillar, sensing the Demonic Imprint of the Buddha's Heart.

In the next moment, the stone pillar stilled, no longer rotating.

Just as Ning Zhuo was about to rejoice over this small success, a flash of lightning seemed to strike his heart!

He suddenly looked up, excitedly gazing at the door of the Refitting Chamber.

He immediately ran to the door, about to push it open and enter the next unknown room, but suddenly withdrew his hand.

He turned and ran to the opposite location, standing before the door he had entered from.

At this moment, in the Great Hall.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit was propped up on its forelimbs, staring intently at Ning Zhuo, its face full of nervousness.

Ning Zhuo sensed the Demonic Imprint of the Buddha's Heart, attempting to open this door.

In the next moment, the door was easily pulled open by Ning Zhuo!

Upon seeing this scene, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit lifted its head and roared, striking the ground with its claw in anger, instantly igniting countless sparks.

Ning Zhuo opened the door and saw the scenery of Room Three again.

The Kung Fu Automaton was still frozen.

Ning Zhuo suppressed his excitement, entered Room Three, and then closed the door.

His palm touched the door again.

The information about the rewards was transmitted again. They were: ten spirit stones, a small flying box as a mechanical component, and the spell "Grafting Wood."

Ning Zhuo first chose the spirit stone reward, only to find that although the teleportation circle appeared again, it spat out nothing, not even half a spirit stone.

Ning Zhuo then chose the small flying box.

Thus, he obtained a wooden box that could fly in mid-air.

He finally chose "Grafting Wood."

Therefore, he obtained the detailed information of another spell.

Great Hall.

The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit once again slammed its head against the pillars, constantly roaring in anger.

The roars echoed in all directions.

But unlike before, the angry roars were mixed with strong emotions of powerlessness, helplessness, and frustration.

The Magma Immortal Palace erupted again, with countless beams of light piercing the heavens.

"Again?!" The Fire Persimmon City Lord had no choice but to interrupt his cultivation, puffing his beard and glaring, forced to reactivate the Immortal City formation once more, struggling to resist the eruption of the Magma Immortal Palace.
