"Trying to play tricks in front of me." Zhao Xing pocketed the elemental crystal that had fallen from his opponent.
[Checkpoint: Grand Arena (Day 50)]
"The ranking rose by over two thousand places in an instant."
"It’s still easier to rack up points now." Zhao Xing licked his lips. "Let’s go, continue fishing!"
Zhao Xing roamed around the outskirts of the [Dragon City ruins] with his three battle beasts.
He was fifth-rank, and his battle beasts were also fifth-rank, looking like easy targets.
However, when someone actually made a move, they were swiftly dealt with by Zhao Xing.
Continuously fishing, continuously counter-killing.
In just five days, Zhao Xing eliminated over a hundred people!
His points climbed rapidly.
Outside the Canghai Cave Heaven.
On the Wind Breath Cloud Ship.
"Whoa, old Mr. Heng, look, Zhao Xing’s ranking is rising really fast." Geng Shouchang handed the Earth Mirror to Heng Yuan, "In five days, he broke into the top three thousand."
"Before entering the Dragon City ruins, he was still around the ten thousand mark."
"This Zhao Xing is indeed talented." Heng Yuan laughed, "His combat experience is very rich, and he handles complex battle environments with great skill."
"Yes, I’ve been watching him these days." Geng Shouchang pointed to the Earth Mirror, "Look at yesterday’s fight, the kid found a strong opponent, Jiang Huo."
"First, he used the Heavenly Eye Skill to observe, and upon discovering that the opponent’s battle beast feared the cold, he immediately used the Start of Winter and then the High-level Ice Sealing Technique, forcing Jiang Huo, the Fire Element Beast Master, out of his own arranged battlefield."
"Not bad." Heng Yuan nodded, "That was the only time he fused in these five days. After fusing, he used just the Hou Transformation Technique to resolve Jiang Huo and his three fire element battle beasts. From the results, his combat power clearly exceeded the opponent’s."
"Yet he remained cautious, enhancing his defense, speed, and spell power through pure essence fusion with the Gray Lion."
Geng Shouchang nodded, "The Ice Sealing Technique and the Start of Winter weakened the opponent’s battle beasts, and the Yin Wind chill disrupted Jiang Huo’s Life Soul, preventing him from exerting his full strength."
"Jiang Huo rushed out but couldn’t see anyone because Zhao Xing was hiding in the Fog Concealment Technique."
"Jiang Huo didn’t even know where to flee."
"In the end, he used the Hou Transformation Technique to swiftly ’kill’ Jiang Huo."
"Jiang Huo was a mid-fourth-rank Beast Master, and his points were in the top thousand, but he still lost to this kid."
"He lost for good reason." Heng Yuan smiled, "He wasn’t facing just any Beast Master, but a talented Minister of Agriculture who knew various High-level Heavenly Time Techniques!"
"Each Heavenly Time Technique had reached High Order Perfection. He never expected the battle to turn out this way."
Jiang Huo usually trained with opponents mainly consisting of Beast Masters.
Who would ever consider a Minister of Agriculture as a hypothetical enemy?
It didn’t make sense at all!
However, he encountered Zhao Xing, this oddball, who crossed fields to play with beast taming.
This caused Jiang Huo, who had the capability to survive to the end, to fall into ruin.
"No wonder he’s Liu Tianning’s student." Heng Yuan praised.
"What does this have to do with Liu Tianning?" Geng Shouchang said, "Zhao Xing didn’t even use the Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, purely using our Heavenly Time Sect’s spells. He’s definitely a Heavenly Time Sect genius!"
"Old Geng, what do you mean?" Heng Yuan immediately heard the implication in Geng Shouchang’s words.
Geng Shouchang looked around and, seeing that Sima Yunhai wasn’t around, he lowered his voice.
"Meng Kun and Gu Changqing, those two guys, were planning to poach Liu Tianning’s disciple recently."
"What? Is that true?" Heng Yuan was surprised, "Those two, don’t they want to live? Aren’t they afraid Liu Tianning will challenge them to a [Great Taoism Competition]?"
In the High Grade Minister of Agriculture circle, Liu Tianning’s reputation was enormous, especially in recent years.
Shangluo Academy had already confirmed Liu Tianning’s candidate status, beginning to build momentum for him.
Leaving aside all this publicity, Liu Tianning’s own strength was solid.
The year before last, he beat Pang Xianyun so severely that he became Pang Yuanzhen. There wasn’t a single Minister of Agriculture in the Dao Yuan Continent’s Heavenly Time Sect who didn’t know Liu Wanfa.
As a third-rank Minister of Agriculture, Heng Yuan knew even more.
That battle was one that left everyone who watched it without complaint.
Liu Tianning let Pang Xianyun take the first move, using all his spells. Liu Tianning’s seven great Dharma Bodies weren’t even scratched.
Then Liu Tianning defeated Pang Xianyun with a single move.
"You probably don’t know Liu Tianning’s temper." Heng Yuan said, "Back then, he killed without mercy for his childhood sweetheart."
"People’s temperaments don’t change. A hundred years ago, Liu Tianning’s madness was already hard to contain. It took Luo Hou King and several other Governor Kings to mediate."
"Now you want to snatch his disciple? Old Geng, I think that’s a terrible idea."
Geng Shouchang said, "Old Mr. Heng, you’re wrong there. Recruiting talent can’t be called snatching, can it?"
"Moreover, Liu Tianning didn’t say anything himself."
Heng Yuan asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
Geng Shouchang laughed, "Liu Tianning stated that he didn’t allow anyone to interfere with Zhao Xing’s promotion and transfer."
Heng Yuan nodded, "He is the Two Prefectures Transfer Officer and also the Military Realm Inspector. It’s said he also holds a position in the Shangyu Bureau, so his authority covers most of Pinghai State. It’s reasonable for him to say such things."
Geng Shouchang said, "But he also mentioned that he wouldn’t influence his disciple’s decisions, meaning that as long as Zhao Xing agrees, it’s possible for him to join our Xuantian Academy."
"Wherever someone holds office is still holding office, isn’t it?"
