"So, in this kid’s judgment, the environmental conditions were still sufficient to sustain."
"Within three days, at least there could be another batch of supplies."
"Another batch?" Liu Yongli’s face showed a look of sympathy: "I hope this month’s training doesn’t leave them with psychological scars..."
Next to the flying boat, Zhao Xing collected a batch of fourth-rank seeds and floated into the sky.
"After growing the third-tier numbing fish fruit, the earth power has been significantly reduced."
"It was initially ’normal’ quality, but after I used the Ksitigarbha Returning Origin Skill to adjust it, it reached ’slightly fertile.’ However, after planting, it is now ’slightly barren.’"
"If left alone, it would take about twenty hours to recover to ’slightly fertile.’"
"Planting fourth-rank supplies now would be very difficult."
Zhao Xing surveyed the gravel slope area and finally reached a conclusion.
He wanted to plant fourth-rank supplies, but he would have to wait.
However, according to the scoring standards of the Ministers of Agriculture, there had to be supplies every day.
If he wanted to plant fourth-rank supplies, Zhao Xing would inevitably lose points for one day.
If not planted, and he planted another batch of second-rank supplies the next day, he wouldn’t lose basic points. But this would inevitably affect the growth of the fourth-rank seeds.
It wasn’t easy to increase the intensity for the martial artists.
But who was Zhao Xing?
"Only kids make choices; I want it all! Fourth-rank must be planted, and second-rank too!"
Zhao Xing pointed toward the sky.
He cast the Swallowing Cloud Skill, with the clouds swirling nine times, instantly covering the entire training area.
With the Swallowing Cloud Skill, he had already reached nine revolutions in his previous cultivation!
Even the martial artists noticed the changes in the sky.
"He’s making it rain, and such a heavy rain?" Chen Fang looked at the clouds in the sky, feeling a bit shocked, "What’s he doing? Just planted so many third-rank supplies, and he can still plant more within three days?!"
"No way, five thousand pounds of numbing fish fruit is not the limit?" Zhang Jie was also a bit stunned; they had seen the methods of military ministers of agriculture in the local army.
But Zhao Xing was this fierce, which was the first time they’d seen.
Planting five thousand pounds of numbing fish fruit in one hour; who in the local army could do that?
Too few, and this area wasn’t even that big.
But there weren’t many planting areas to choose from.
"This bastard, could he really still plant?" Xia Jing’s lips turned pale; he was the fastest eater and ate the most.
Several hours passed, and he had already consumed five hundred pounds!
However, with Zhao Xing making it rain, he was feeling uneasy.
Earlier, he insisted that although five thousand pounds were at their group’s limit, it should also be Zhao Xing’s limit.
He knew the military ministers of agriculture well, and there was only so much earth power; it was impossible to plant supplies infinitely.
But now, Xia Jing was also uncertain.
The heavy rain came quickly and left quickly.
"Did he realize it wouldn’t work, so he gave up?"
But it didn’t stop for long.
The rain poured down again.
Sometimes stopping, sometimes pouring.
Xia Jing, Chen Fang, Hu Bing, and Zhang Jie’s mindsets were repeatedly tested.
Because to consume the supplies planted by the minister of agriculture, it was up to the four of them; the other six couldn’t help much.
Six people combined didn’t eat over five hundred pounds, while the four of them had already consumed eighteen hundred pounds.
Although their lips were black and heads dizzy, they hadn’t reached their limit.
They had three days; eating slowly and using the Gluttonous Eating Skill provided some hope of consuming it all.
"Brother, please don’t plant anymore... huh? Great-grandma?" Zhang Jie stood up suddenly after eating a numbing fish fruit, "Great-grandma, you’re still alive? Did you come to see me... Your great-grandson is unfilial."
Liu Yongli looked at Zhang Jie, who held him while crying. His eyes showed some astonishment.
This guy hallucinated from eating?
"Bastard, let go; I’m not your great-grandmother." Liu Yongli shook him off, but Zhang Jie’s strength was astonishing at that moment!
"Let me handle it." The middle-aged doctor saw this and pricked Zhang Jie’s nape.
"Wuu wuu wuu..." Zhang Jie kept crying after being pricked but slowly let go.
The thick needle pierced different parts of Zhang Jie’s body.
Very soon, Zhang Jie woke up.
He saw his great-grandmother turn into Martial Master Liu Yongli.
The latter was wiping away the snot, looking at him with disdain.
"Commander Liu? It’s, it’s you?" Zhang Jie hesitated, took two steps back, and almost fell.
"Crying like a man crying, couldn’t shake you off and got snot all over me...," Liu Yongli was speechless.
"Sorry, Commander!" Zhang Jie repeatedly apologized, "I don’t know what happened..."
"Your Gluttonous Eating Skill had a detoxification problem. The toxins didn’t expel and went to the Jingming acupoint and Tianying acupoint."
The middle-aged doctor coldly pulled a needle from the back of Zhang Jie’s head, then quickly removed two needles from Zhang Jie’s eyebrow area.
"Huh? This..." Zhang Jie found his head full of needles.
"Don’t ’huh,’ run a bit." The middle-aged doctor put away the needles.
The military doctor’s words were orders; Zhang Jie instantly started running.
But after two steps, he fell to the ground.
"Why did I fall?" Zhang Jie’s head hit a stone, but it wasn’t hard enough to injure his head.
"You can’t coordinate your strength right now; you’ll have control issues." The middle-aged doctor said, "That’s because some toxins are still affecting you... Keep running, you’ll expel them as you run."
"Six hundred twenty-five pounds, you did well. When you recover, I’ll notify you for another fast-eating session."
"Yes." Zhang Jie promptly got up, stumbling towards Wang Meng.
The heavy rain stopped, but a light drizzle continued.
Zhao Xing landed back on the ground, used the Xuantu Skill to sink into the earth, and observed the earth veins.
"The earth vein power had fire and gold flourishing after my initial planting, while earth and water were weak. Wood was suppressed. To meet my planting needs, I must use water to moisten the earth to contain fire and use the gold element vein to contain the fire’s spiritual beauty. This situation is quite similar to the question I got during the entrance exam."
Now, Zhao Xing’s approach mirrored the solution from that exam.
Theory wasn’t learned in vain; without understanding various schools of thought, he wouldn’t know how to combine skills to quickly find a solution.
"The pond has dried up, there’s no source water here, but there is in the sky. I can use the Cloud Skill to gather rain, pouring down to solve the water weakness, bringing it to a level similar to gold."
"Five hours, this earth’s advantages condition would meet my expectations." Zhao Xing observed for a while, satisfactorily ended his exploration, and returned to the surface.
Zhou Ming watched Zhao Xing emerge, a look of admiration in his eyes; the performance of agriculture ministers needed another minister present.
Zhou Ming was a master in the Heavenly Time Institute.
Initially, he wasn’t sure what Zhao Xing was trying to do, but midway through, he understood.
After five hours, the earth power returned to a ’slightly fertile’ state, and Zhou Ming greatly admired Zhao Xing.
"Only five hours to restore what normally took twenty. Utilizing the area’s conditions to the fullest. In our Heavenly Time Institute, only Shi Yong could achieve this."
Zhou Ming drank, feeling a bit emotional, "Such a good seedling wasn’t selected in the fourth screening back then? Letting him slip into the Geography Institute!"
"Ge Jingsong and Cheng Qingming, one put him in the middle, one in the lower ranks; truly blind!"
