Chapter 126

"Pu chi~" Zhao Xing pulled the Hundred-Flower Bamboo Hat out of a martial artist's abdomen, then quickly buckled it on his arm, surveying the surroundings.

As the standard equipment for Agricultural Officials, the Hundred-Flower Bamboo Hat not only amplifies the magic of the Heavenly Time faction, but its texture is also very hard.

The edge is very sharp and can be used as a weapon, thrown to cut enemies.

It can also be used as a shield; its convex surface is smooth, making it easy to disperse the force of hacking.

"The number of people on the drill ground has decreased by half, and the Qi is chaotic to the extreme."

After knocking down the people around, Zhao Xing also took the time to observe the battle situation in the second half.

The Qi is chaotic to the extreme, which will cause a consequence: most people's martial arts cannot be released, or if released, they will be deformed.

Because the martial arts of graded martial artists are basically external Qi techniques, not purely flesh-to-flesh combat.

"Qi is chaotic; only experts can maintain a fast knockdown efficiency in this situation."

"Most martial artists also have to rely on getting very close to fight hand-to-hand to knock down the Agricultural Officials."

Zhao Xing looked not far away. A burly martial artist used fist techniques to knock back two Agricultural Officials, but because the Qi became chaotic... he didn't knock these two down, but knocked them back.

There was no other way; he had to continue to get close.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

After ten punches, he finally knocked the two Agricultural Officials to the ground, completely losing combat effectiveness.

"The martial artist's knockdown efficiency has become lower, which is a torture for the Agricultural Officials instead." Zhao Xing also felt a bit of heartache watching.

One must know that the physical resistance of Agricultural Officials is not very weak, and they are wearing rain capes and bamboo hats... knocking them unconscious with fists until they lose resistance is simply torture!

"It's completely training the Agricultural Officials' ability to withstand hits. Under this high-intensity training, their body coordination, reaction speed, and coordination, as well as martial arts, will be greatly improved."

"After being beaten a lot, you naturally know how to protect yourself on the battlefield."

Zhao Xing's lips trembled slightly, and the sound thorn pierced the martial artist's knee, knocking down the martial artist who had knocked down the two Agricultural Officials.

"Twenty-fifth, it's a pity that Agricultural Officials don't count as knockdowns; it only depends on who can persist until the end." Zhao Xing is not a passive-beaten player.

He has always taken the initiative. In his past life, when fighting in team battles, he also didn't take the usual path.

Where to break through is not breaking through? When meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins; this has always been Zhao Xing's belief!

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing's peripheral vision suddenly caught three martial artists approaching.

"Blood like mercury, copper skin and iron bones, these three people are very strong."

"At the very least, they are genius martial artists among the four major martial offices."

Although he cannot use magic, Zhao Xing's perception is still very keen. The flow of the wind allows him to perceive the vague strength of these three people.

Zhao Xing killed in all directions, and in turn, took out dozens of martial artists, finally being targeted by the geniuses of the martial offices.

Some geniuses just want to challenge strength. Clearly, there are weaker Agricultural Officials not far away, but these three just wanted to take out Zhao Xing first.

"Eat my Armor-Breaking Fist!" Chen Fang's blood surged, and he rushed out like a cheetah. The fist wind was sharp, forming a triangular thorn in front of his fist.

Under this chaotic Qi fluctuation, he could still release Qi externally and stably perform martial arts. Chen Fang was undoubtedly an expert.

But just as this punch was about to hit Zhao Xing.

"Roar!"

Zhao Xing squatted slightly and roared with his mouth open.

Chen Fang felt his whole body trembling, and the copper color on his body surface faded in an instant. The blood in his body boiled, and even his iron bones made a tooth-aching sound.

Even his body was affected like this, so the martial art naturally went without saying; it collapsed directly.

Zhao Xing buckled Chen Fang's hand and retreated along the trend, making Chen Fang hang horizontally in mid-air.

"Bang!"

A knee strike immediately sent Chen Fang flying.

"Xiu xiu xiu!"

Three sound thorns instantly pierced his lower abdomen, and the powerful impact also sent Chen Fang flying out directly.

"Roar!"

Zhao Xing precisely controlled the sonic waves, this time aiming at the heads of the other two.

Hu Bing and Shan Fei originally intended to steal the kill, only one step slower than Chen Fang.

Their reactions were extremely fast. Seeing Chen Fang being knocked away, they had already withdrawn their strength, turned attack into defense, and a layer of bright yellow copper quickly spread over their whole bodies.

This is the martial artist's body-protecting martial art. When practiced to above the seventh turn, the yellow copper light covers the whole body like a golden bell, which can be invulnerable to swords and guns. It is a martial art that can only be performed after practicing copper skin and iron bones.

But the color spread to the neck, but it seemed to suffer from a barrier.

Kui Ox Thunder Roar, the timing was just right, just interrupting the two's golden bell body protection.

The eyeballs of Hu Bing and Shan Fei trembled crazily, and blood overflowed directly, and their vision went black immediately.

Kui Ox Thunder Roar, the sun and moon lose their light.

The two truly lost their vision, and even their ears were not working!

"Bang bang!"

Hu Bing and Shan Fei were also kicked away by Zhao Xing, and then nailed to the ground with sound thorns.

The injuries were too heavy, and they were directly pulled out of the drill ground by the powerhouses watching outside, and the physicians quickly began treatment.

"Chen Fang?!"

"Hu Bing, Shan Fei?!"

"This this this..." After Zhang Jie dodged, seeing the three fall to the ground, he was shocked. "This is an Agricultural Official? Who on earth is he, how can he be so cruel?!"

Zhang Jie looked up and happened to meet Zhao Xing's gaze.

Being scanned by the gaze, Zhang Jie's scalp tightened, as if his heart had been grabbed by someone.

"Dangerous, extremely dangerous!"

Every inch of Zhang Jie's skin and every piece of flesh and blood were resisting. Instinct made Zhang Jie want to escape this person's sight.

Fortunately, the opponent didn't rush over, just left after confirming that Chen Fang, Hu Bing, and Shan Fei had no ability to resist.

"Plop~ plop~"

"Ha~ hiss ha~"

After Zhao Xing turned around, Zhang Jie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart beat violently.

"Terrible, too terrible, I feel like I've been stared at by an ancient fierce beast."

"Too cruel, actually able to knock down three martial office geniuses in an instant."

Zhang Jie just felt that this training was very easy. After easily knocking down thirty-nine Agricultural Officials, he even felt that this mandatory training would not have any training effect.

But now, he didn't think so at all!

"This is an Agricultural Official? I would believe it if you said he was a genius of the Azure Dragon Martial Office..."

Zhang Jie walked away quickly. He put away his contempt and turned to leave.

But just then...

A blurry spherical shape suddenly appeared in the air behind him.

"Bang!"

A huge force lifted Zhang Jie directly, and he flew out of the drill ground in a dog-crawling posture.

"Damn, there's another expert..."

Zhang Jie's back was bloody, and he fainted immediately.

"Good kid, hahaha, well fought!" Lu Bang saw this scene and laughed loudly. "Actually practiced Kui Ox Thunder Roar, even knocked down several people from the four major martial offices."

"His three sonic martial arts are all powerful." Zuo Zizhi nodded. "Before fighting ordinary martial artists, he didn't force out his Kui Ox Thunder Roar; the two [Folding Sound Curve Shape] were enough. Marquis Tian, you said he learned it within a month? Didn't he practice it before?"

"He was a clerk who was regularized, and as soon as he was regularized, he was selected and transferred here." Tian Shan said. "Where would he have time to learn martial arts? In the 15th year of Jingxin, he hadn't even entered the grade."

"It's really God giving food to eat." Zuo Zizhi sighed. "Practicing sonic martial arts can also reach such a height."

"Military Agricultural Officials need all-rounders like him." Lu Bang praised without hesitation. "Without using magic, he can also have considerable combat effectiveness, so he won't become a drag on others."

"Marquis Tian, you picked up a treasure this time." Zuo Zizhi smiled. "The Heavenly Time Academy missed such a good seedling and let you pick up the leak."

"It can't be said that the Heavenly Time Academy looked away." Tian Shan smiled and glanced at Ge Jinsong not far away. "Don't praise Zhao Xing too much."

Ge Jinsong's mouth twitched.

"Too careless." On the storied boat, Zhang Jie's training teacher 'Chen Min' couldn't help but shake his head. "Thinking that having the Black Tortoise Shield for protection would be fine, looking forward but not backward, not even knowing someone was sneaking up from behind."

Chen Min, a martial arts master of the Black Tortoise Office, had been paying attention to the few students he brought, and Zhang Jie was one of them.

Zhao Xing shifted his gaze because he saw Zhuang Ziqing performing the Nine Explosions of the Yin Xun, so he didn't do it again.

He just stared at Zhang Jie, instantly attracting all of Zhang Jie's attention.

Because he had just performed the Kui Ox Thunder Roar, he carried a unique momentum.

"Brother Chen, don't be so harsh." Another martial arts master on the side said. "That kid is not a normal Agricultural Official; it's very normal to fall into their hands."

"Brother Wu is right. The two from the Agricultural Official Supervision don't look like ordinary people at all. From the beginning, they have been actively eliminating martial artists."

"The fewer martial artists, the more favorable the situation for geniuses like them, reducing the possibility of being surrounded and knocked down in the final stage."

Chen Min said helplessly: "That's what is said, but it's still a bit shameful that my Black Tortoise Office genius was knocked down by an Agricultural Official."

"What are you afraid of? It's not just people from your Black Tortoise Martial Office who were knocked away; several from the Azure Dragon Office also fell."

The geniuses of the Agricultural Official Supervision Grade A-plus showed amazing combat effectiveness.

For example, Zhuang Ziqing, Cao Shuang, Jiang Tianming, and others all practiced sonic martial arts to a relatively high level, and some even had strong unarmed kung fu themselves.

The two highest-ranking big shots of the two offices, Fan Zhaoli and Fang Wu, were also discussing the geniuses on both sides.

Fan Zhaoli said: "Xia Jing and Fu Ying of the Azure Dragon Martial Office are the two most outstanding of this batch, whether it is movement, defense, attack martial arts, or the grasp of timing, they are all a cut above the rest."

Fang Wu smiled: "Xia Jing and Fu Ying, the martial arts they practiced each have one that surpassed the ninth turn; they are indeed the most dazzling in this martial office."

"Shi Yong, Zhao Xing, and Zhuang Ziqing of the Agricultural Official Supervision are also very good. It is indeed rare for Military Agricultural Officials to have this performance in martial arts training."

Fan Zhaoli smiled: "Shi Yong practiced five martial arts."

"In addition to a sonic martial art, he also practiced a movement martial art, two fist martial arts, and a defensive martial art."

"In previous tests, he has always been firmly in first place."

"Shi Yong is indeed the most outstanding of this batch, and relatively comprehensive. The Tiger Flood Dragon Army has indeed picked a good seedling."

"But no matter how outstanding, in this kind of training, you still have to be beaten."

"His personal ability is indeed outstanding." Fang Wu pondered: "But speaking of comprehensive, I still think this Zhao Xing is more comprehensive."

"Oh?" Fan Zhaoli was a bit surprised. "Why does General Fang think more highly of him?"

"He practiced three types of sonic martial arts. In addition to the two Folding Sound Curve Shapes, he also practiced Kui Ox Thunder Roar."

"Looking at the level of his Kui Ox Thunder Roar, with the cooperation of the three, only Xia Jing and Fu Ying can quickly knock him down."

"Of course, in terms of martial arts, he still can't compare to Shi Yong."

"I'm talking about the grasp of timing and organizational ability."

Fan Zhaoli watched, waiting for Fang Wu's explanation.

"Look, although Shi Yong also launched a counterattack at the first time and knocked down the most martial artists."

"But in fact, the counterattack effect caused is actually not as good as Zhao Xing's."

Fang Wu stared below: "From the perspective of a commander, every time Zhao Xing makes a move, he links up another group of Agricultural Officials. While knocking down enemies, he maximizes the relief for friendly forces."

"In contrast, Shi Yong, his martial art power is strong, but the help to friendly forces is a bit smaller."

"I feel that this Shi Yong treats this as personal training and ignores this point."

"But Zhao Xing is different. He took the initiative to organize manpower. Every time he makes a move, it is just right. I feel he hasn't done this very deliberately, because I didn't find him communicating with people; it was completely a subconscious strategic move. However, as he fought, many people gathered around him and acted with him."

"Others, those with this strength don't have this idea, and those with ideas don't have the ability."

Fang Wu continued: "If I want to choose someone to go to war with me, I would definitely choose Zhao Xing and not Shi Yong."

"This is the reason why I think more highly of Zhao Xing."

"It's getting harder and harder to fight."

On the drill ground, Zhao Xing also began to feel pressure.

"The number of remaining Agricultural Officials is getting smaller and smaller, while the number of martial artists is getting larger and larger."

"Although people are being eliminated, the ratio of elimination on both sides is too different."

After the chaos in the middle stage, the number of people on the entire drill ground was less than five thousand!

But among these nearly five thousand people, Zhao Xing estimated that there were at least two thousand martial artists!

What concept? Agricultural Officials eliminated nearly nine thousand people, but martial artists hadn't even eliminated 1,000.

"Although the Agricultural Official Supervision has geniuses and is not weak in martial arts combat effectiveness, the martial offices have more geniuses." In military selection, the base of martial artists is much larger than that of Agricultural Officials.

There are only over ten thousand Agricultural Official reserves, but there are over 100,000 martial artist reserves.

With a large base, naturally, more geniuses emerge.

"There is no possibility of winning at all. No wonder the rules set for Agricultural Officials at the beginning were just to persist." Zhao Xing shook his head.

He initially thought about whether there was a chance to organize a counterattack, but soon gave up.

Because there are also experts on the opposite side, not just in strength, but also extremely outstanding in command and organizational ability.

The four major martial offices are all going according to the standard of cultivating Assistant Regional Commanders.

Just like the four major academies of the Agricultural Official Supervision, the two hundred people can serve as seventh-grade officials in the nine armies after reaching the training standards!

"Prepare to be beaten."

Zhao Xing looked at the changes in the situation around him, feeling a bit helpless. He couldn't actively jump out of the drill ground.

Because the ranking of Agricultural Officials is calculated based on the time of persistence. The last one to fall is the first place.

He is Grade A-plus, he must be within the top twenty-one. If the ranking is lower than this three times in a row, he will have to be demoted and replaced by others who perform well.

"Being beaten is being beaten. Anti-beating training is also a kind of training." Zhao Xing prepared to enter the final stage.

An hour later, the number of Agricultural Officials on the drill ground was only one thousand five hundred.

The number of martial artists was also lower than 2,000.

After all, the further to the back, the stronger the hand-to-hand combat ability of the remaining Agricultural Officials.

The drill ground space also became larger, and the difficulty for martial artists to knock down Agricultural Officials became greater instead.

Half an hour later, a certain balance was broken.

The number of martial artists decreased less and less, and the Agricultural Officials plummeted from one thousand five hundred to over four hundred.

This is because after the martial artists gained the upper hand, they began to hunt.

At the same time, the geniuses of the four major martial offices—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—also began to frequently encounter the geniuses of the Agricultural Official Supervision.

When the most top-notch group of geniuses in the Agricultural Official Supervision couldn't persist, they naturally collapsed faster.

Two quarters of an hour later.

There were less than a hundred Agricultural Officials left.

Almost every breath, someone fell, and could never crawl up again, losing combat effectiveness.

At this time, Zhao Xing was also covered in injuries.

Because after the number of people decreased, the Qi on the drill ground gradually returned to stability, and he had to face martial arts attacks from all directions.

Even with the rain cape and Hundred-Flower Bamboo Hat for defense, the martial artists attacking him were becoming higher and higher in strength. With two fists unable to fight four hands, Zhao Xing could only run while fighting.

Actually, it couldn't be called fighting. Kui Ox Thunder Roar could only be passive defense, hindering the speed of being hit.

Just like this, Zhao Xing persisted with difficulty on the drill ground.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and there were less than thirty people on the drill ground.

"Bang!"

Zhao Xing was slapped flying, falling to the ground on his back.

The Hundred-Flower Bamboo Hat held horizontally in front of his chest was already seriously deformed, and even somewhat shattered.

Zhao Xing took a look around and found that he couldn't tell how many people were left.

"Roar!" Zhao Xing exerted his last Kui Ox Thunder Roar, even though he was very tired and covered in scars, still fighting like a trapped beast.

In the ripples emitted by the Kui Ox Thunder Roar, the vast majority of martial artists showed painful expressions and avoided one after another.

At this time, a tall young man ignored the Kui Ox Thunder Roar, quickly leaped over, and jumped to three meters in front of Zhao Xing.

"My name is Xia Jing." The young man pointed a finger at Zhao Xing's chest lightly. "Send you on your way."

"Xiu!" A golden light flashed, directly piercing the Hundred-Flower Bamboo Hat, forming a half-finger dent on the rain cape.

"Bang!" Zhao Xing felt several of his ribs break, and then his whole body flew out.

When he was flying up, he took a look inside the drill ground.

However, he did not observe the situation of other geniuses such as Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing.

"I don't know which one I am to fall..."

Waking up slowly from a coma, Zhao Xing had already appeared in Fuchun Garden.

"Teacher."

"Hmm, awake." Tian Shan stood by the bed. "You don't have any major problems; at worst, you just broke a few ribs. You can check it yourself by looking inside the five elements."

"Teacher, what place am I?" Zhao Xing didn't rush to check; he was more concerned about his ranking.
