Chapter 145: Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, Straw Man Training Class
[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army, you have been randomly matched with your opponent 'Wei Chen' (Zhenhai Army). ]

[The random environment is 'Yanghu Wetland'. ]

[After sixty breaths, the battle will begin, please be prepared. ]

"Wei Chen? He seems to be a lower-class genius in Pinghuai Academy."

Zhao Xing felt that the name was somewhat familiar.

There are only a few geniuses on the top list, and Wei Chen is also well-known in Pinghuai Academy.

"It's Zhao Xing's turn now!"

On another preparation platform, Wei Chen was somewhat excited.

He had just watched the battle between Zhao Xing and Feng Qiu, so he decided to start a fight on a whim.

I didn't expect to meet him.

Wei Chen is already at the third level in the Jiujie Dojo, but he has been hovering around the first or second star of the third level.

“I hope I can last a little longer in his hands.”

Wei Chen waited for the battle to begin with anticipation.

Five breaths later, Wei Chen reappeared on the preparation platform with a shocked look on his face.

"I was defeated in just one move, and I couldn't even last five breaths?!"

"The gap between people is so fucking huge."

Wei Chen shook his head and sighed.

Yanghu Wetland is an environment he is familiar with. After entering the battle, Wei Chen immediately cast spells to defend himself.

The secret water technique that Wei Chen is good at is called "Gate of Heavy Water".

It is a secret technique that combines the water method with the mysterious earth method.

He can open nine heavy water gates, each of which can use the power of water to dissolve and distort the opponent's magic attacks. It can also be used to besiege the opponent.

"Nine heavy water gates were broken by him in just one move."

“It’s like it’s made of paper.”

Wei Chen felt a little melancholy.

Originally, he thought that the gap between him and the top-level genius was not that big, and at the very least he could still defeat them in a few moves.

As a result, he was killed instantly.

…………

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army, you have completed the third-level promotion battle! ]

[Dojo Points: 69]

[Net win: 69]

[Dojo rating: Level 3, 1 star]

[Dojo Points Ranking: 712452 (Shiyangdongtian)]

[Nine-section Dojo Points Ranking: 55214 (Shiyang Cave Heaven)]

[After the dojo rating reaches level 3, you can choose to challenge an opponent of the same level 3, or accept a challenge invitation. ]

"One item of training has been completed." Zhao Xing smiled slightly.

In the second match of the third-level promotion battle, Zhao Xing felt that Wei Chen did not put much pressure on him, so he directly used water magic and killed his opponent in seconds.

After being promoted to the third level, the ranking of the Jiujie Dojo has reached more than 50,000. As for the ranking of the entire Shiyang Dojo, it has also risen by 200,000 places.

"After completing Cen Sanji's elective training, I can go and complete Lupin's elective training. I am currently planting third-level plants. With unlimited soil fertility, it will be no problem for them to mature within an hour."

"Once completed, two of the ten elective courses will be completed." Zhao Xing said secretly.

A-level talents must also get A-level scores during selection and training.

He had to complete the A-level training from the Sinongjian. In addition to outstanding performance, he also had to have ten A-levels in the selection training.

"Om~"

Suddenly there was a tremor in the mirror.

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army and Zhuang Ziqing of the Tiger Dragon Army challenge you. Do you accept? ]

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army and Guan Junyang of the Black Armor Army challenge you. Do you accept? ]

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army and Cao Shuang of the Black Armor Army challenge you. Do you accept? ]

【…】

In an instant, many prompts appeared on the ground mirror.

"So many people are waiting for me to advance." Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile.

It seems that they all want to have a fight with him, the second place winner in the last training session.

Especially after Fengqiu was defeated, the geniuses were itching to come up and try.

"Take the next one."

Zhao Xing accepted Zhuang Ziqing's invitation.

He also wanted to try what the result would be when he competed with Zhuang Ziqing after he figured out the water-dripping method.

Because Zhuangzi Qing and Shi Yong clearly entered the fourth level of the realm of knowledge.

As for the others? Zhao Xing didn't know.

To accept the challenge, of course you have to choose a decent opponent.

"Agree." Zhao Xing selected OK on the ground mirror.

[This challenge is a secret challenge. No spectators are allowed. The battle will begin in sixty breaths...]

"Secret challenge? Xiaozhuang is still hiding it, afraid that others will see his secret skills?"

Challenges between private individuals can be made public or private. If made public, followers can watch the battle process from the ground mirror.

If it is not made public, it will only show that the battle has begun, and the results will not be announced.

…………

"He agreed?" Zhuang Ziqing was standing on the preparation platform. When he saw Zhao Xing agreed to the invitation, he was immediately excited. "It seems that he has really entered the fourth level of the knowledge realm. He is very confident."

Zhuangzi didn't even sleep because he wanted to fight with Zhao Xing.

Because Shi Yong was too strong, he could not defeat him at all, and the sparring experience was meaningless.

Zhao Xing finally showed up, so of course he was eager to try.

"The random map is Spring Meadows?"

Zhuang Ziqing took a look, put away the mirror, and waited quietly.

The waiting time for personal invitation battles after the third level is a little longer. After all, when you reach the third level rating, the space will be expanded to facilitate the players to give full play to their skills.

On the spring grassland, the sky is extremely blue, without a single cloud.

Two figures appeared on the grassland.

"Zhao Xing!"

After Zhuang Ziqing came in, he did not take action immediately, but shouted to Zhao Xing.

"You should have entered the fourth stage of the knowledge realm and realized the advanced method, right?"

"You and I won't use any other spells. Let's just use our strongest moves to decide the outcome with just one move. How about that?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "Okay."

Zhuang Ziqing flew closer and said, "You should strike first. You have just realized the method of knowing the realm, and I have learned several secret techniques. If I strike first, you will have no chance."

"Row."

Zhao Xing was not polite either. The vital energy flowed through his fingertips, and the solar energy order in his dantian trembled slightly.

The map here is 'Spring Grassland', which is suitable for casting [Rain Drops].

In just a moment, he easily borrowed the power of heaven and earth.

A drop of water appears on the fingertips.

"Swish!" Zhao Xing snapped his fingers and the water drop flew quickly towards Zhuang Ziqing.

"Ok?"

A strange look flashed in Zhuang Ziqing's eyes.

It was clearly just a drop of water, but he felt as if the entire world was falling on him.

I couldn't help but cast spells to resist.

"Chichi~"

A large amount of flocs suddenly appeared around Zhuang Ziqing's body, and the grass under his feet was also growing wildly.

Thousands of threads intertwined with each other and soon formed an oval white shell, like a silkworm pupa, enveloping Zhuang Ziqing.

When the water droplets arrive, the silkworm pupa is formed.

"Oh!"

The silkworm pupa seemed to be hit by a huge force, and both the person and the pupa were knocked back.

"Boom~"

The soil rolled and the green grass flew all over the sky.

The silkworm pupae plowed a furrow more than ten meters long and half a meter deep on the ground before stopping.

"Huh? Is this the secret art of Heavenly Silkworm Transformation?" Zhao Xing looked at Zhuang Ziqing in surprise, "Didn't they say you are strong in thunder magic? How come you comprehended a high-level magic, the wood element magic?"

"Isn't it the same for you? Everyone says that your Cloud Swallowing Technique is unmatched, but what you have realized is a high-level water-moving technique." Zhuang Ziqing's voice came out from the silkworm cocoon.

The water droplets did not break through the defense of the silkworm pupa, although many cracks were created. However, the characteristic of the wood method is endless vitality, and the secret art of the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation is an advanced application technique.

The power of the Wood Element is as strong as a needle, flying up and down, and the silkworm pupa will quickly repair itself.

"I didn't get through it. Hey, it's my turn now."

The silkworm pupa wrapped around Zhuang Ziqing suddenly flew up into the air and began to spin wildly.

Countless silk threads flew towards Zhao Xing.

Some of the silk threads were floating in a twisted state, while others were stretched straight like sharp arrows.

There is actually a way to hide, but hiding would defeat the purpose of this training.

Zhao Xing also did not cast any spells for defense, because he had said at the beginning that he would not cast any other spells.

"Dripping water."

A drop of water appeared in Zhao Xing's palm again, and the water droplets flew around him, trying to destroy the silk.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

When the water droplets touch the silk, there is a heart-pounding explosion sound. Obviously, the water droplets and the silk are both insignificant objects, but the noise they cause is very loud.

Zhao Xing originally found it easy to borrow the power of heaven and earth, but as the water droplets touched the silk, he clearly felt a sense of stagnation, because Zhuang Ziqing was also borrowing the power of heaven and earth.

"Chichi~"

The silk quickly wrapped around Zhao Xing's right arm, interrupting the spell. The water droplets lost control, rushed to the ground, and blasted a deep pit.

More and more silk appeared and soon it became embedded in the flesh.

"Om~"

A protective barrier appeared, and golden light swept over Zhao Xing's body, moving him away.

On the preparation stage, Zhao Xing's injuries healed rapidly. They were just superficial injuries and he recovered in an instant.

Fly out of Yunmen, come to the square, and meet Zhuang Ziqing.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Zhao Xing was a little surprised after seeing the person.

"What's going on?" Zhuang Ziqing was stunned.

"You look dazed, how long have you not slept?" Zhao Xing could tell at a glance that Zhuang Ziqing was not in right condition. He could feel that Zhuang Ziqing's soul was excited because he had used the treasure for eliminating fatigue many times.

The fatigue of the physical body can be relieved, but the fatigue of the soul is difficult to relieve. Zhao Xing has to sleep for an hour every day, mainly to allow his soul to rest.

"It's no big deal. I'll go back and sleep." Zhuang Ziqing said indifferently.

"You came all the way here just to fight with me?"

"You have made a breakthrough, so of course I have to come and learn from you." Zhuang Ziqing smiled. "Among the reserve forces now, only you, me, Shi Yong, Cao Shuang, and Guan Junyang have learned advanced methods from the Solar Terms Order. What you have learned is different from ours, so naturally I have to come and try it out."

He actually had other thoughts in mind. Zhao Xing was improving so fast, if he didn't take the opportunity to beat him now, he might not be able to beat him in the future!
After all, among the reserve officers of the Sinongjian, Zhao Xing had the fastest growth rate, and he was the only one who was selected as soon as he was promoted to a regular official.

Even with the bonus of resources in Shiyang Cave, it took only a few months to cultivate a Solar Terms Order to the fourth level of the Knowledge Realm. It was simply terrifying.

"It's still very superficial. I've only just mastered the basics." Zhao Xing shook his head. It was obvious that Zhuang Ziqing was very skilled in the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation and had mastered the secret technique. The silk and silkworm pupae were the expanded application of the high-level wood technique.

"I have only mastered the basics." Zhuang Ziqing said, "If you are more proficient in the Raindrop Technique and master the secret technique, it will not be so easy for me to defeat you. Among the five of us, only Shi Yong is faster and can be considered to have truly mastered the art."

"Have you ever fought with Shi Yong?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes." Zhuang Ziqing nodded. "He and I are both from the Tiger Dragon Army, and we are quite familiar with each other. Since entering the Jiujie Dojo, I have fought him ten times."

"What's the outcome?"

"Don't ask about sad things." Zhuang Ziqing shrugged and said, "I will tell you when I surpass him."

That means we won’t win a single game… Zhao Xing thought.

"Let's go. I should go back to sleep." Zhuang Ziqing yawned. "There will be points reward in the selection training in a few days. I have to prepare well. Zhao Xing, let's practice together when we have time."

"Easy to say."

Zhao Xing and Zhuang Ziqing separated and never entered the Jiujie Dojo again.

It’s not too late to train again when you have new insights.

On July 17, Zhao Xing obtained a third-level rating in the Jiujie Dojo and also received an A-level rating from Cen Sanji.

On July 18th, Zhao Xing came to the inner hall of the Earth Vein Temple to meditate. The earth vein map in the inner hall was more profound than that in the outer hall. There were only nine earth veins, but these nine earth veins were far more powerful than those in the outer hall. It was on this day that the Earth Vein School's magic made a breakthrough.

The Divine Movement Guardian even broke through to the tenth level, because the Mysterious Earth Method and the Divine Movement Underground Palace were both related to the earth veins. This breakthrough of combining two spells into one also gave Zhao Xing two spells that reached high-level power.

From July 19th to July 23rd, I came to Tianshiyuan again to observe the 108 solar term steles.

Five days later, Zhao Xing left this precious land reluctantly.

"The two free opportunities to comprehend the treasured land of Tianshiyuan have been used up."

"However, my twenty-four solar terms order has fully reached the third level of knowledge, but only [Beginning of Spring] is at the fourth level of knowledge."

"There is still one free opportunity for enlightenment in Dili Academy, and there are still two opportunities for enlightenment in Taicang Academy and Pinghuai Academy."

"The high-level spell [Water Dripping] has reached the third level. It will be difficult to break through in a short period of time. Unless you purchase the [Water Dripping Field]." Zhao Xing's progress was very fast.

But when it comes to the high-level level, it also encounters bottlenecks.

High-level magic is standard for the sixth rank, and among the seventh rank military ministers, only about 30% of them know a high-level magic.

As for those who can master high-level techniques at the eighth level, they are extremely rare, precisely because it is too difficult to practice.

"I only have over 10,000 points now, and I still need a lot to buy the [Dripping Field]."

I can't ask Tian Hou for it either, after all, Tian Hou has already given me something worth 8 points.

If you give more, it would be too much and against the rules.

"You cannot accept missions during training unless the Agricultural Supervisor arranges for you."

"However, starting from July 15, the optional training courses will award points, because after several months of training, the reserve soldiers are gradually getting stronger and their demand for points is also increasing."

"Let's see which elective courses are worth rewarding points." Zhao Xing took out a floor mirror to check.

"Hmm? Straw Man Training Class?"

The first line that catches your eye is a straw man training class.

"It will start on the afternoon of July 23rd at Tianning Villa, and will be hosted by the fifth-rank minister of agriculture Liu Tianning. Isn't that today?"

"First place bonus points, 50,000?"

"Why are the points for the Straw Man Training Class so high?"

　I feel lonely and drowsy during the day, but energetic at night.

　　There will be more today.
