Junior sister took first place again

Chapter 223 Water produces wood, water defeats fire

In the wood area, Ning Jiasheng stepped into a vibrant green bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze, and the moonlight fell on them, emitting a soft glow, as if welcoming her arrival.

However, the danger hidden in this quiet bamboo forest far exceeded her expectations.

Ning Jiasheng ignored the sudden change to night and walked into the bamboo forest. Her steps were light and quick, and she held the Red Flame tightly in her hand, ready to deal with possible attacks.

Suddenly, bamboo shoots sprouted rapidly from the ground, transforming into sharp bamboo spears that stabbed at her. Ning Jiasheng swung her sword and cut off a few of them, but more continued to attack from all directions.

While dodging the bamboo spears, Ning Jiasheng began to observe the layout of the bamboo forest, looking for possible weaknesses.

She found that the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest were shining with strange light under the moonlight, as if hiding some kind of pattern.

Ning Jiasheng looked carefully and finally found something wrong. The orientation of some bamboo leaves and the length of their internodes were wrong. They did not grow according to the direction of the sun.

"I see."

Ning Jiasheng whispered, and suddenly increased his strength. With a move of "crossing all directions", he directly cleared the surrounding green plants. Then he quickly changed his moves, and the sword was like a rainbow piercing the sun, stabbing straight at a huge bamboo king hidden in the center of the bamboo forest.

Ning Jiasheng gathered a vast amount of spiritual power, and the flames on Chi Yan's body surged. With lightning speed, he stabbed the root of the flame with a sword.

The Bamboo King roared, shaking the entire bamboo forest. However, just as Ning Jiasheng was about to deliver a fatal blow to the Bamboo King, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and in the next instant, he discovered a stream of icy water-attributed spiritual energy gushing out from the ground.

Ning Jiasheng's pupils shrank and she stepped back decisively, but huge waves surged up around her, trapping her in the center of the waves in an instant, making it impossible for her to retreat a single step.

Ning Jiasheng could roughly see outside through the rapidly rotating water wall, and saw two huge beast shadows surrounding her from both sides.

She is facing an unprecedented challenge.

The wood and water zones have inexplicably merged together, forming a unique and eerie region. This is a place brimming with vibrant vitality, yet also harbors endless dangers.

Ning Jiasheng struggled to resist the sharp water blades shooting from all directions and the terrifying pressure within. He also looked up at the sky and angrily questioned the people outside:

"Hey! Isn't this considered a foul?"

Ever since she stepped into this place, the spiritual power in her body has been rapidly dissipating like a dam bursting, and now only less than half is left.

Not only that, the medicinal effect of the precious Blue Brilliant Pill is about to run out.

Even if Ning Jiasheng could immediately swallow another pill to replenish her spiritual power, with all the dangers here, how could she have the time to slowly digest and absorb the medicinal properties and recover her spiritual power?

What's more, the water elemental snake that was supposed to appear in the final level showed up ahead of time.

Its properties not only have a restraining effect on her, but also echo and complement the hateful bamboo spirit.

Facing such a powerful enemy, she is now asked to use her head to fight two spirit beasts?

No one stood up to respond to Ning Jiasheng's question, and at this moment she had no time to distract herself with these trivial matters.

I saw that the underground river under the bamboo forest was surging, having already submerged the ground and was still rising.

In desperation, Ning Jiasheng had to take off into the air and continue to fight fiercely with those water blades in mid-air, and his spiritual power was consumed again at an accelerated rate.

What's more troublesome is that the two things outside also attacked her.

Ning Jiasheng's battle in the air became increasingly difficult. Not only did she have to face the sharp water blades from the center of the waves, but she also had to deal with the fierce attacks from the two beast shadows.

The Scarlet Flame Sword drew fiery arcs in the moonlight, colliding with the water-attribute attack and making a sharp hissing sound.

Every time the sword and the water blade clashed, Ning Jiasheng felt his strength gradually draining away.

The continuous fighting caused Ning Jiasheng to have tinnitus and her spiritual power was rapidly consumed, making it impossible for her to dodge the attacks of the water snake and the bamboo king in time. There were several cuts all over her body.

But there is always an indomitable will supporting Ning Jiasheng. This battle is not only for survival, but also for tempering her cultivation.

After her arm was pierced by the water blade again, Ning Jiasheng took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and began to mobilize the remaining spiritual power in her body, preparing to use her ultimate skill.

Chi Yan seemed to sense his master's determination, and the flames on the sword became even hotter, as if to evaporate all the surrounding water-attributed spiritual energy.

Ning Jiasheng's body was surrounded by a faint red light, which was the spiritual resonance between her and the Chiyan Sword. It was a trick she would only use when she had no choice.

The flames spread across the prairie!

After Ning Jiasheng finished his hand gestures, he shouted loudly. This time, Chi Yan drew a huge circle of fire in the air. Countless flaming sword shadows in the circle of fire poured towards the center of the water waves and the two beast shadows like a meteor shower.

The icy water-attributed spiritual energy in the center of the waves began to dissipate under this powerful attack, and the surrounding bamboo whips and spears instantly caught fire.

The two creatures had to retreat temporarily to avoid being hurt by the powerful force of fire.

Ning Jiasheng seized this opportunity and quickly flew to the edge of the bamboo forest, trying to escape from this dangerous battlefield.

However, just as she was about to reach the edge of the bamboo forest, an even more powerful water-attributed spiritual power gushed out from the ground, forming a huge water wall in front of her, blocking her way.

Ning Jiasheng's heart sank. She knew that this was the power of the guardian spirit snake. It had fully awakened and was ready for the final battle with her.

Ning Jiasheng turned her back to the water wall, her eyes firm and calm.

There is no retreat once you enter the Cangwu Trial, you can only fight.

Ning Jiasheng's battle with the descendants of the Bamboo King and the water spirit snake in the bamboo forest became increasingly fierce.

Her figure shuttled back and forth in the moonlight, and every swing of her sword was filled with determination and courage, and she didn't care at all about the increasing number of wounds on her body.

Although she was bleeding profusely, her will was stronger than ever.

In the continuous battles, Ning Jiasheng gradually discovered the weaknesses of the bamboo forest.

She noticed that whenever moonlight shone on certain bamboo leaves, those bamboos would attack more fiercely.

She realized that these special bamboo leaves were the key to controlling the descendants of the Bamboo Prince.

Ning Jiasheng began to separate sword shadows to specifically attack those special bamboo leaves. Each sword strike was extremely precise, causing the bamboo leaves to lose their luster, and the corresponding bamboos also lost their vitality and stopped attacking.

With Ning Jiasheng's continuous efforts, the offensive in the bamboo forest gradually weakened.

However, the water snake did not give up. It controlled the underground river water, forming one water wall after another, forcing Ning Jiasheng to go back.

Sharp water blades kept shooting out from the water wall, and Ning Jiasheng struggled to resist them. She couldn't just keep passively defending like this, she had to find a breakthrough!

Ning Jiasheng concentrated all his energy and poured all his remaining spiritual power into the Scarlet Flame Sword. The flames on the sword reached their peak at this moment, as if to set the entire bamboo forest ablaze.

Ning Jiasheng's whole body then turned into sword energy, and he turned half a circle according to the sword's momentum. The flames on Chi Yan's body turned into a huge pillar of fire, rushing straight into the sky, colliding with the water-attributed spiritual power of the water element snake.

The collision of the flames and the water created a massive explosion, shaking the entire bamboo forest. Ning Jiasheng was at the center of the explosion, using his last bit of strength to charge his sword straight at the roots of the bamboo kings, finally defeating them all.

After it was over, Ning Jiasheng half-knelt on the ground with her sword in hand, exhausted. The moonlight shining on her body made her feel a little warm.

And this bamboo forest, which was once full of danger, has regained its vitality in the post-war tranquility.

Ning Jiasheng took a Blue Huang Pill and closed his eyes, preparing to regulate his breathing for a moment before going forward to get something.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the bamboo forest, and several figures broke through the outer fog and broke into the area that had just experienced a fierce battle.

Ning Jiasheng quickly stood up with her sword in hand, and exchanged glances with the group of disciples who had just broken through the formation. She tightened the sword in her hand.

These newcomers were obviously Ning Jiasheng's competitors. The eyes of the other Jindan-level disciples who participated in the trial all flashed with a desire for victory and vigilance against unknown challenges.

Ning Jiasheng gripped her sword tightly and pointed it at the ground, with the tip of the sword inserted into the soil, supporting her slightly tired body.

Her eyes swept over these new disciples one by one, trying to assess their strength and possible threats.

Among these disciples, some were dressed in luxurious robes and held exquisite and powerful weapons, obviously coming from extraordinary backgrounds. The most representative ones were the eight people who had been robbed by Ning Jiasheng.

Some of them were wearing ordinary long gowns, but the aura they exuded was even stronger than those in front.

Their arrival broke the tranquility of the bamboo forest and brought new challenges to Ning Jiasheng.

"It's Immortal Ning who's here all alone. It seems we're not the only ones who've passed the first few levels."

A man from the Wei family spoke up, breaking the silence. There was a hint of vigilance and temptation in his voice.

Ning Jiasheng did not answer. She knew that at this moment, any words might be redundant.

Her eyes were fixed on each of these disciples. The atmosphere became a little tense, and the breeze in the bamboo forest seemed to feel the tension and became more rapid.

The disciples of the three teams looked at each other.

They began to slowly disperse, forming a triangular encirclement that surrounded Ning Jiasheng in the middle.

Ning Jiasheng took a deep breath and began to circulate the spiritual power in his body to accelerate the effectiveness of the Blue Brilliant Pill.

The disciples were not in a hurry to attack. They were also observing and looking for the best time to strike.

The atmosphere in the bamboo forest became increasingly solemn. Even the gentle breeze in the air seemed to sense the coming storm and began to grow wilder.

Ning Jiasheng and other disciples were waiting for that moment to come. A new contest was about to begin in this emerald green bamboo forest.
