[Divine Might Army Zhao Xing, you have been randomly matched with ’Wei Chen’ (Zhenhai Army).]
[The random environment is ’Yanghu Wetlands.’]
[The battle will start in sixty breaths, please prepare yourself.]
"Wei Chen? Seems like a talented lower-ranked genius from the Pinghuai Institute."
Zhao Xing found the name quite familiar.
The number of geniuses in the A-rank list was small, and Wei Chen was somewhat famous in the Pinghuai Institute.
"Zhao Xing has been matched!"
On another preparation platform, Wei Chen was quite excited.
He had just watched Zhao Xing’s battle with Feng Qiu, and out of curiosity decided to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, he got matched.
Wei Chen, in the Nine-Section Dojo, was already at the third rank, though he had been oscillating between the first and second star.
"Hopefully, I can last a bit longer against him."
With anticipation, Wei Chen waited for the battle to begin.
After five breaths, Wei Chen reappeared on the preparation platform, his face showing astonishment.
"I was taken down in just one move, not even lasting five breaths?!"
"The gap between people is just enormous."
Wei Chen shook his head and sighed.
Yanghu Wetlands were his specialty, and upon entering the battle, Wei Chen immediately used a defensive spell.
Wei Chen’s best secret technique was called "Heavy Water Gate."
It was a secret technique combining Water Element Skill and Xuantu Skill.
He could open nine Heavy Water Gates, each gate using Water Element Power to dissolve and distort the opponent’s spell attacks. It could also be used to trap opponents.
"Nine Heavy Water Gates were broken by him in just one move."
"Like they were made of paper."
Wei Chen felt a bit lost.
Originally, he thought the gap between him and an upper-ranked A-list genius wasn’t that big, at worst he could exchange a few moves.
But the result, he was defeated instantly.
[Divine Might Army Zhao Xing, you have completed the third-rank promotion battle!]
[Daoist Field Points: 69]
[Net Victory Count: 69]
[Daoist Field Rating: Third Rank One Star]
[Daoist Field Points Ranking: 712452 (Ten Suns Cave Heaven)]
[Nine-Section Dojo Points Ranking: 55214 (Ten Suns Cave Heaven)]
[After reaching the third rank, you can choose to challenge opponents of the same rank or accept challenge invitations.]
"One training module is done." Zhao Xing smiled slightly.
In the second battle of the third-rank promotion, finding Wei Chen no pressure, Zhao Xing directly used a Water Element Skill, defeating his opponent instantly.
Promoted to third rank, Zhao Xing’s ranking in the Nine-Section Dojo also reached over fifty thousand, while ranking in the entire Ten Suns Dojo rose by two hundred thousand places.
"After completing Cen Sanji’s training module, I can go to Lu Bang’s training module. Now that I am cultivating third-tier plants, under infinite Earth Power conditions, they can reach maturity within two hours without any problem."
"Once completed, two of the ten training modules will be done." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Top-ranked geniuses must get an A score in their training modules as well.
To maintain the A-rank training completion from the Minister of Agriculture Supervision, he had to excel in compulsory training and get ten As in elective training as well.
Suddenly, the Earth Mirror vibrated.
[Divine Might Army Zhao Xing, Tiger Flood Dragon Army ’Zhuang Ziqing’ challenges you, do you accept?]
[Divine Might Army Zhao Xing, Xuanjia Army ’Guan Junyang’ challenges you, do you accept?]
[Divine Might Army Zhao Xing, Xuanjia Army ’Cao Shuang’ challenges you, do you accept?]
In an instant, numerous prompts appeared on the Earth Mirror.
"So many people waiting for me to level up." Zhao Xing couldn’t help but laugh.
It seemed everyone wanted to have a match with him, the last compulsory training runner-up.
Especially after Feng Qiu’s defeat, the other geniuses were eager to try.
"I’ll accept one." Zhao Xing agreed to Zhuang Ziqing’s invitation.
He also wanted to test his newly realized Dripping Water Technique against Zhuang Ziqing in actual combat.
Because Zhuang Ziqing and Shi Yong had clearly entered the Fourth Transition of Knowledge Realm.
As for the others? Zhao Xing did not know.
To accept the challenge, one had to choose a worthy opponent.
"Agree." Zhao Xing confirmed on the Earth Mirror.
[This challenge is a secret challenge, no spectators allowed. The battle will begin in sixty breaths...]
"A secret challenge? Zhuang wants to hide his secret techniques from being seen?"
Private challenges could be either public or private. If public, followers could watch the battle through the Earth Mirror.
If private, it only showed that the battle had started without announcing the result.
"He agreed?" Zhuang Ziqing stood on the preparation platform, and upon seeing Zhao Xing accept the invitation, he immediately became excited. "Seems like he really entered the Fourth Transition of Knowledge Realm, quite confident indeed."
Zhuang Ziqing hadn’t even slept, just eager for a battle with Zhao Xing.
Because Shi Yong was too powerful, fighting him had no sense of accomplishment.
It wasn’t easy to find someone like Zhao Xing, so he was surely excited.
"The randomized map is Spring Grassland?"
Zhuang Ziqing took a glance, put away the Earth Mirror, and quietly waited.
Personal invitation duels after the third rank had slightly longer waiting times. After all, reaching the third-rank rating meant the combat area had to be expanded accordingly for more extensive maneuvers.
Spring Grassland, the sky was incomparably blue, without a trace of clouds.
Two figures appeared on the grassland.
Zhuang Ziqing did not make the first move after entering but instead called out to Zhao Xing.
"You should have already entered the Fourth Transition of Knowledge Realm and realized a High Order Magic Technique, right?"
"Let’s not use any other spells, and just go with our strongest moves, one move to decide the winner, how about that?"
Zhao Xing nodded, "Okay."
Zhuang Ziqing flew a bit closer, "You strike first, you only recently realized the Knowledge Realm Skill, whereas I have already mastered several secret techniques. If I strike first, you won’t have a chance."
