Chapter 55: Thunder Induction and Ice Rain
"Old Chen must have done it on purpose!"
"As a Military Agricultural Official, how could he not control his magic?" Zhao Xing rubbed his somewhat sore shoulder, where a patch of frost was melting into water stains.
"He must have been affected by my magic and had a nightmare, and didn't want to admit it, or did he hear me call him Old Chen?"
Zhao Xing had just seen Chen Shijie's face ferocious and painful, not knowing what had happened, and called out Old Chen in a hurry.
Dreams were not ordinary things in this world; he was worried that something had happened to Chen Shijie.
"Sooner or later, I will surpass Old Chen. At that time, Little Chen..." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Xing's mouth, he patted his shoulder, and left slowly.
Daytime was not suitable for practicing [Nether Wind] magic, so Zhao Xing moved it to the night.
Grasping the fluctuations of the Earth-Vein and capturing the Nether Wind from the ground was very difficult.
But even if it hadn't reached the first turn, the power was not small.
Zhao Xing had to master this magic, and master it well.
"Nether Wind Technique can not only hurt people, but it is also a necessary condition for cultivating certain [Rare Treasures]."
"Like Soul-Returning Grass, it is extremely difficult to grow without Nether Wind, but conversely, it can accelerate maturity."
As for the morning, he would [cultivate] the young Heavenly Pear trees to make them [grow sturdily].
After going out to the Office of Agriculture, Zhao Xing came to Xue Wen's backyard to practice Thunder Induction.
The old agricultural official was still very strong in thunder magic. In terms of exquisite control, Chen Shijie might not be stronger than Xue Wen.
"Thunder Induction and Striking Thunder are only one step apart, and that is controlling the direction in which the thunder power dissipates."
"In fact, the Striking Thunder spell has already produced not weak thunder power, but it cannot escape the constraints of the moving clouds. Even if it escapes, it cannot act according to the caster's will."
"If you want to induce thunder, you need to strengthen your control over the moving clouds, so that the thunder power pours out at a fixed angle." Xue Wen taught patiently.
"So the key to Thunder Induction is not Striking Thunder, but Moving Clouds?" Zhao Xing looked at the clouds in Xue Wen's palm and couldn't help but nod.
The old agricultural official's teaching method was indeed unique. After decades of immersion, he already had his own understanding of magic.
Three-Foot Heavenly Thunder, Moving Clouds in the Palm, this hand was enough for people to learn for a lifetime.
Being able to shrink the moving clouds to this extent, with the thunder power not decreasing but increasing, it was a bit like the 'Palm Thunder' Zhao Xing saw in the revival version!
This was the effect brought by studying a spell and constantly breaking through the limits.
How many turns had the old agricultural official's Moving Clouds and Thunder Induction reached? I'm afraid even the old agricultural official himself couldn't say clearly.
The God-Speed Grass Man was extremely fast and agile.
The grass man made of origin rice kept running in the courtyard, seemingly avoiding something.
The clouds above covered the entire backyard, occasionally dropping a lightning bolt.
"Boom-crack!"
The thunder hit the grass man, and after a moment of brilliance, the grass man caught fire and collapsed on the ground.
There was more than one burning on the ground, but there were more lively ones hiding everywhere.
The grass man wasn't made by Zhao Xing, but by Xue Wen.
It was troublesome to hit them.
The afternoon itinerary was the Chen residence.
"Unless it's a random bombardment, increasing the coverage area, otherwise my hit rate is too low, only thirty percent." Zhao Xing thought.
But the old agricultural official wouldn't let him do that, because the grass man was also limited to the range of the thunder clouds, which was to train his proficiency.
Who couldn't do a random bombardment? What was the point of practicing that?
"Before noon, if you can destroy seventy percent of the grass men, this Thunder Induction method of yours will have reached a higher level." Xue Wen said so.
He already had a general grasp of Zhao Xing's aptitude and comprehension, so the grass men he released were all running very fast and had very slippery movement techniques.
Zhao Xing wasn't discouraged either, slowly finding the feeling. The control experience from when he was a player in his past life was very different from controlling magic now, but in the gradual running-in, he also found back some hand feel.
[You cast the Thunder Induction method, magic proficiency 20]
[You cast the Thunder Induction method, magic proficiency 30]
[You cast the Thunder Induction method, magic proficiency 45]
"Boom-crack!" "Boom-crack!"
Zhao Xing, who was fully devoted, saw his hit rate gradually increase.
When the time on the almanac showed noon, the grass men in the backyard had all turned into ashes.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Xing glanced at the panel.
[Thunder Induction: Entry-level magic]
[Proficiency: 1025/9999]
[Effect: Induce thunder to the ground, bombard enemies]
"My Striking Thunder is at the seventh turn, and Moving Clouds is at the ninth turn. The pre-spells are already so proficient. It only took one morning to reach one turn. Although the proficiency limit hasn't changed, the difficulty of improvement is very different from when it was entry-level." Zhao Xing thought.
He felt it was a bit slow, but Xue Wen was quite satisfied, giving Zhao Xing a holiday in the afternoon and letting him arrange it himself.
The afternoon itinerary is the Chen Prefecture.
At 1:45 PM, Shen Zhui waited at the training ground of the Chen residence very punctually.
"Brother Zhao, please."
"Brother Shen, please."
The two sides stood twenty meters apart, and then the chase game started again.
This was the third sparring session between the two.
The opening was no different from the first two times.
Zhao Xing still cast Moving Clouds, Striking Thunder, Spreading Rain, and Raising Wind all at once.
Shen Zhui was already familiar with his routine and immediately chased after ten seconds.
But, after the rain, Shen Zhui felt something unusual.
"This rain, why is it so cold?"
Shen Zhui only ran a few steps in the rain and felt something wrong.
He looked up, and the water droplets dripped onto his brow along the brown felt hat.
"Hiss~"
Shen Zhui couldn't help but tremble.
Cold, too cold.
It was as if this wasn't summer rain, but winter rain.
Shen Zhui actually had the feeling of wanting to add a piece of clothing.
"What kind of rain is this? It's completely different from the first two times."
"I must use origin energy to resist the erosion of the cold, otherwise it will greatly affect my mobility." Although the influence of each raindrop was very slight, it was constantly accumulating.
Shen Zhui knew he had to act as soon as possible.
On the other side, Zhao Xing, who was hiding, was calculating while making grass men.
"Against Shen Zhui, it's not good for me to use Nether Wind. After all, he isn't Chen Shijie and can't easily resist it, so only Ice Rain and Thunder Induction can be used."
"First reduce his mobility, then strike him with thunder."
Nether Wind hurts the soul, Ice Rain hurts the body.
"Ice Rain magic also uses Yin-attribute power, but it's much easier than Nether Wind. Water is inherently Yin; just guide it with origin energy and exclude the Yang-attribute power in the moving clouds, and the ice rain can take shape."
The old agricultural official taught Thunder Induction and pointed out that the key to entry was control over moving clouds. Zhao Xing also cast Ice Rain magic according to this idea, and sure enough, he entered the door very easily.
"Patter~" Raindrops fell on his hands, and Zhao Xing experienced the degree of cold.
Although it was just entry-level and the proficiency was far from the first turn, as long as it dragged on long enough, it would greatly consume Shen Zhui's origin energy and reduce his mobility.
Chase game? Here at Zhao Xing's, there was no such thing as only running and not attacking!
Before, there was no attack magic, but now that there was, he naturally couldn't wait to be caught! ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
