Chapter 25: Cut and Devour, Crush the Opponent

Chen Shijie looked like he was watching a show, and the other officials had no choice but to accept the invitation and take a seat.

There's nothing we can do, since he is righteous.

His official position was higher than theirs, and his cultivation was also stronger than theirs. Moreover, Chen Shijie was the youngest official in the Ministry of Agriculture - not only in Gucheng, but also in the entire Nanyang County, he was considered young.

It is conceivable that the future of this Lord Chen will never stop at the ninth rank.

"Mr. Chen's changes are truly amazing. The Minister of Agriculture serves the people and must fight against the heavens and the earth. If he does not have the desire to win, how can he accomplish anything?"

After sitting down, Gao Linong was the first to speak. He had said something wrong in the last Xiaoshu assessment and had been trying to make up for it. Now he finally got the chance to express his opinion and agree with his superior.

Chen Shijie smiled faintly and nodded in response.

The flattery was too blunt, almost a repetition of what Chen Shijie had said last time.

Tang Wanchun was much smarter. He did not praise directly, but instead mentioned the official that Chen Shijie had praised before: "I think the official who first held up the cloud layer realized the good intentions of Mr. Chen, so he took the lead, but I don't know if he can hold on."

"Master Xue's questions are comprehensive. They not only test the ability of the clerks, but also their endurance. It is not easy to last four days and three nights without food or water in the hot summer weather."

Chen Shijie was indeed interested: "I remember that this person performed quite well in the last quiz. Mr. Xue, is he taught by you?"

Xue Wenzhong didn't want to talk at first, and closed his eyes to rest after sitting down, but since they talked about Zhao Xing, he changed his mind: "Yes, his name is Zhao Xing, I just did my best to teach him, but it's mainly because he has a good understanding. Lord Chen, please take care of him, this boy is a rare talent."

Chen Shijie nodded: "Since Mr. Xue said so, I really need to take a good look at his performance."

Xue Wenzhong rarely praised people in public, let alone recommending his own officials in front of Chen Shijie. Could it be that he had accepted an apprentice? This made the other officials a little wary.

Submitting official position and becoming a regular official is not only what the minor clerks desire, but also what the formal officials like them attach great importance to. Recommending and educating people is a great achievement!
Someone was about to say something, but heard Chen Shijie staring at a certain place: "Look, someone is running towards Zhao Xing."

Zhao Xing was the first to go, and occupied two springs and wells and three piles of grass ashes in the northeast.

To his north was Wen Nanxing, and to his south was Xiao Ze. The challengers who were defeated by these two immediately set their sights on Zhao Xing.

But looking at Zhao Xing's movements, he is not so easy to mess with. His level of seven-turn magic ranks among the top in the Sinongjian.

There were many people watching, but only three of them came over.

One of the fair-skinned young men bowed to Zhao Xing and said, "Huang Tao from Baihua Garden, Brother Zhao, could you please move to another seat?"

Huang Tao planned to use courtesy before force. He still had to respect the opponent's Seven Revolutions of Moving Clouds above his head and his previous achievements in Class A.

Zhao Xing sneered, "Brother Huang, can I ask you to get out of here?"

Huang Tao's face froze, and then his eyes turned unkind: "You occupy two springs and three piles of grass ashes, and you still refuse to give in. If that's the case, then I'm offended!"

The people around him were already impatient after failing to reach an agreement: "Why waste time talking to him? He was lucky enough to get an A-level, so arrogant... Xingyun!"

The three of them performed the cloud-moving magic together, the clouds rolled and unfolded, and even Huang Tao, all of them reached the seventh level!

The dark clouds spread out and rushed towards the direction where Zhao Xing was.

"It's been a long time since I had a fight." Zhao Xing licked his lips, staring at the clouds above, and actually felt a little excited.

In fact, he had been waiting for a challenger for a long time. This would happen sooner or later, otherwise he would find it difficult to gain a foothold.

"The wind rises!"

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and a strong wind came from the east.

Then the wind split into two and blew in two directions.

“Hoooooo~” “Woooooooooo~”

Two strong winds blew towards the two challengers next to Huang Tao. The clouds of the two people piled up in the air and rolled back, as if there was a wall of wind there!
"Huh? My Xingyun can't walk anymore!"

"Mine too, I can't get through it."

The two challengers looked surprised. They didn't expect that Zhao Xing's wind spell could actually stop them.

"Hah!" The two people who didn't believe in evil increased their energy.

However, as many times as their clouds rolled, the wind blew.

The more I wanted to move forward, the greater the resistance became. After so much effort, I only moved forward a little bit!

"Why is his wind blowing so strangely?"

"This wind is weird, it seems to know my weakness, and it comes in and runs around everywhere... Not good!"

Among them, there was one whose energy control was a little weaker, and half of his movement was actually dissipated.

Once they dispersed, they could no longer stop and were defeated in the wrestling match.

Before the three men could threaten Zhao Xing, one person blew them away!
"Cough, cough, cough..." The clerk, who suffered the backlash of his vital energy and had his flying clouds blown away, kept coughing.

Huang Tao's face changed when he saw this, and he felt something was wrong because he was not blocked in this direction.

It has just begun, why did my companion fall down?

But he couldn't care less about that at this moment. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Xing was distracted dealing with his companions, he controlled Xingyun and slammed forward fiercely.

"Om~"

The expected big collision did not occur, there was no thunder, no rain, and no wind.

The clouds controlled by Zhao Xing suddenly caved in, revealing the flashing thunder inside, like a huge purple-black mouth.

"This?" In Huang Tao's perception, a part of his cloud layer had lost its sensitivity, as if a part of it had been bitten off.

Immediately afterwards, the dark clouds above Zhao Xing's head quickly rushed towards it.

"Boom!" A loud thunder sounded!
The clouds above Huang Tao's head were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What? This is such a wonderful technique... I give up!" Huang Tao felt that he had completely lost control of the clouds and shouted immediately.

But Zhao Xing ignored it completely. The thunder was like a knife, cutting accurately and completely defeating Huang Tao's control, swallowing up the cloud.

"Puchi~" Huang Tao felt like a knife cutting in his mind. The backlash of his spell was much heavier than that of the others, and he fell straight to the ground in an instant.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang..." His companions immediately ran over to support him.

"I, I'm fine..." Huang Tao panted, "Don't try again, change somewhere else."

"Zhao Xing was too ruthless." His companion complained. "It was just a sparring match, how could we let him go?"

"No, I'm not as skilled as him, so there's nothing to say." Huang Tao looked in the direction of Zhao Xing, with deep fear in his eyes. "I feel that his control over magic is even better than Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze. If we forcefully fight him, we will only bring shame upon ourselves. Let's go!"

Zhao Xing saw the three people running away in disgrace, and then spread his voice through the wind, "Any other colleague who wants to seize my territory? Feel free to try!"
