Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 68 Spring passes and autumn comes
Over the next two days, they challenged several more times, but all ended in failure. This wooden foundation-building man loved to kick butts and kicked them into the lake many times!
After a few times, Lin Jing felt that his butt had turned into a lotus, and perhaps he wouldn't need to sit on the lotus when he transformed into a Buddha in the future.

In addition, the wooden men have extremely rich combat experience. When they fly in the sky with flying leaves, the wooden men will pick up stones on the ground and smash them quickly and accurately.

Lin Jing summoned the dragon carp and used the fire control technique to control the flames, hoping to restrain it by its attributes. The wooden man would shake out the lake water to resist.

The wooden man is also a plant. The pine leaf mouse wanted to use the Green Emperor's longevity skills to counterbalance him, but the opponent was only stiff for a moment and then broke free immediately.

As for will-o'-the-wisp and illusions, that is nonsense. The wooden man has no soul to burn and will not be affected by illusions.

Fortunately, the wooden man was not a real enemy, otherwise Lin Jing and his men would have died more than a dozen times.

However, despite many defeats, Lin Jing still sees hope of winning.

Judging from the course of the battle, the wooden man should be afraid of fire. Otherwise, he could have just taken the attack head-on like he did with the flying leaves and water arrows, instead of dodging or shocking out water to block it.

"Improve the dragon carp's cultivation."

"Improve your own cultivation and proficiency in fire control techniques."

"As for the pine leaf rat, continue to practice the Green Emperor's Longevity Technique. The Green Emperor's Longevity Technique does have a restraining effect on plants, but because the pine leaf rat currently lacks mana, it can only be controlled for less than a second in a battle. But if it succeeds, it may be able to hold it in place for longer."

After Lin Jing's analysis, he found that in order to defeat the wooden man, they would need to greatly improve their existing magic power and skills.

"Fix it."

They can be self-sufficient in food, and spirit stones are extremely abundant, so all they need to do is practice. Lin Jing and the others immediately began to practice hard, using wooden men to test the results of their practice every day. They didn't know how many years had passed. The only thing that made Lin Jing feel pity was that the grade of the vampire vine was a bit high, and it was temporarily impossible to synthesize it with his current Glazed Immortal Pupils. Otherwise, he would like to see the effect of the mutated vampire vine.

……

Spring goes and autumn comes, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

The battle between Lin Jing and the wooden man has escalated to a very intense level, but after so long, they still cannot defeat the wooden man.

By the lake, the wooden man stood still, unable to move. In three months, the pine leaf mouse had already reached the ninth level of Qi training, and his magic skills had even achieved some success.

After the Qing Emperor's longevity skill was slightly successful, the effect of devouring the blood-sucking vine became much worse, almost ineffective.

At this moment, the pine leaf squirrel no longer likes to use the machine gun as a weapon, but instead replaced it with an ordinary branch!

Its Taoist robe fluttered, and it used its minor magic skills to freeze the wooden man for a moment. At the same time, under the stimulation of the Qingdi true energy, the branches in its hands grew and mutated wildly, and soon turned into thick trunks that stretched forward and tied up the wooden man!

Plant control!

While the wooden man was struggling, Lin Jing, who was holding the "Dragon Carp Zen Staff", had already made a hand gesture with one hand, controlling the flames sprayed out by the dragon carp to attack!

In three months, Long Li's cultivation reached the eighth level of Qi training, and Lin Jing's cultivation also reached the seventh level of Qi training. The breakthrough in cultivation made Long Li's flames even hotter. The powerful flames, assisted by Lin Jing's more sophisticated control, were compressed into pill-sized fire bombs soon after being spit out of Long Li's mouth and flew towards the wooden man!
With the cooperation of Lin Jing and Songye Mouse, the fire bombs flowed through the gaps in the trees and hit the wooden man. After a few loud bangs, they were able to cause certain damage to the wooden man.

However, what made Lin Jing and the others feel the most fucked up was that after enduring a round of bombing, the wooden man was still able to move with his body charred, and with the help of the aftermath, he could break free from the entanglement of the trees and fight back.

It is really difficult to deal with this kind of opponent who is insensitive to pain and fatigue.

After a battle, Long Li, Lin Jing and Song Ye Shu all ran out of energy and were defeated. However, although the wooden man suffered extensive burns, endured multiple rounds of attacks, and had half of his head blown off, he was still able to fight.

"No more fighting!" Several months of fighting also changed Lin Jing and others' mindset. They no longer thought about relying on stockpiled resources to win, but wanted to see if they could rely on their own magic power to defeat the enemy.

Of course... the real reason is that Songyeshu doesn't want to waste the stockpiled goods in daily training. "Senior Mosong, why do I feel that the strength of the wooden man has become stronger again? Are you secretly adjusting the data?"

"Didn't you say that it would maintain its combat power at the initial stage of foundation building? I feel... its defense has definitely improved."

Lin Jing was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. Songyeshu and Longli, who were lying on either side, also had the same feeling.

"Have you figured it out? It's only reasonable that your opponent will become as strong as you over time. It's already growing very slowly."

“In the path of cultivating magic, one must not only be stronger than the opponent at a certain time, but also grow faster than the opponent all the time. Only in this way can one avoid being killed by the righteous.” Senior Mosong did not deny it.

Lin Jing rolled his eyes and knew something was wrong.

"I'll teach you another lesson. As a demon cultivator, never believe what others say, or you won't have enough lives. You believed me when I told you. You're too young."

"Got it." Lin Jing no longer wanted to refute that he was not a demon cultivator.

"Give us a few more days and we should be able to defeat it."

"It won't take long for the wooden man to be entangled with the trees created by the pine leaf rat! If the pine leaf rat and I can use the sacred tree seal taught by our predecessors in actual combat, we can better block its movements and severely injure it!"

Shen Song said: "The preparation of the sacred tree seal is cumbersome, not to mention that you need to work together to perform it. If you want to use it in battle, it will not give you time to prepare."

The Sacred Tree Seal, a sealing spell to seal the Ice Soul Gu, is essentially the application of mental power. It requires mental power to imprint blood-like divine patterns on wood-attributed creatures, allowing wood-attributed creatures to contain divinity, as if one's own will is attached to the sacred tree, suppressing everything.

Lin Jing cannot control the plants, but having lived two lives as a human, he has a strong mental strength and can control power more precisely. While the pine leaf mouse is controlling the plants, it is unable to distract itself from imprinting the spiritual patterns, so for now they can only work together.

However, as Shenmu said, even so, it is not easy, because Lin Jingguang needs an extremely quiet environment to meditate and release his mental power, and the imprinting process is extremely difficult. It took several minutes to do it during the previous practice, and this was the time after his mind had been strengthened by the Buddha's light. It can be seen that the Shenmu seal is not something that a Qi-training cultivator can handle.

After a few minutes of fighting, the dragon carp was dead.

"Senior Mosong, since there is no time to prepare during the battle, we only need to prepare dozens or hundreds of sacred trees with sacred patterns imprinted on them before the battle, and then let the pine leaf mice take them out and control them." Lin Jing said.

Mosong asked, "Didn't you say that we don't need to stockpile resources in advance to fight the enemy in battle?"

"Senior, as a demon cultivator, you should never believe what others say. I regret it." Lin Jing put his knowledge into practice.

"Then I regret not giving you the chance to defeat the wooden man. Now I'm going to change the content of the test and teach you another lesson. As a demon cultivator, don't reason with the people who make the rules. Fists are the only way to win."

Lin Jing: ???
Good, good, good, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.

After the magic pine finished speaking, Songye Mouse and Longli were struck by a bolt from the blue. They were beaten for three months without any chance to take revenge? What a wicked magic tree!
"I sense that a spiritual plant with spatial properties is about to be born in the Great Wilderness. It should be good for the squirrel. Go and grab it."

"Squeak?" The pine leaf mouse, who originally felt that he had no desire to live, suddenly felt the internal energy gushing out like a spring. He quickly climbed up with his eyes shining.

"Space spiritual plant?" Lin Jing was stunned.

"Well, there should be a few big demons in the demon pill stage and golden elixir cultivators who are eyeing the spiritual plant. I won't take action. You can find a way on your own. After you finish this job, go to the academy."

"Senior, why don't we just play wooden man?"
