Chapter 135: Second Mandatory Training Ranking and Gains (Double-length Chapter)

"Boom~"

The squad of warriors who were sparring not far away suddenly felt the ground shake and all stopped what they were doing.

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

"The ground is splitting? Could it be Zhao Xing the Agricultural Officer?"

"Hey, why are tree seedlings growing out from here?"

"The ice layer is a foot thick and has completely cracked. Look over there!" Chen Fang pointed to the east, his face full of surprise. "That place was flat just a moment ago, but now a thirty-meter mound has appeared."

Everyone immediately looked over. Sure enough, five hundred meters to the east, a small mound had appeared. The mound was entirely composed of solidified clods of earth piled up. The two largest layers of soil looked as if they had been squeezed together by a massive force, bulging upward to form a 'person' shape.

"In the direction of the flying boat, a large crack has appeared!" Hu Bing jumped up on the spot, scanned the surroundings, and landed with a look of astonishment in his eyes. "That large crack is ten meters wide and bottomless. There are eight other such large cracks around here, and hundreds of smaller ones... How was this done?"

"Is the earth vein here really this fragile?" Zhang Jie also looked around in surprise.

Xia Jing shook his head. In the dark night, a strange glint flashed in his eyes: "It's not that the earth vein is fragile, but that the Earth-Splitting Technique Zhao Xing used is too powerful."

"Look, the ice and snow have already begun to melt. He must have used the Fire-Element Earth-Splitting Technique, causing the earth fire to rise."

"So it is." Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.

But Xia Jing had actually guessed wrong, because what Zhao Xing had used was not a single Earth-Splitting Technique, but the Five-Element Earth-Splitting Technique!

It was just that different professions are like mountains apart; Xia Jing could only tell it was an Earth-Splitting Technique.

"Who told you to stop!" Liu Yongli ran over and scolded. "I brought you here to train in different environments so you would adapt to various environmental changes. Now that you've all interrupted your training, everyone gets 10 points deducted!!"

Swish~

Liu Yongli's gaze fell on Xia Jing: "Xia Jing, as the head of the Azure Dragon Martial Office and the first one to stop, you get twenty points deducted!"

"Yes, this subordinate knows his mistake." Xia Jing accepted the punishment; these twenty points were of no consequence to him.

"Continue training, no stopping!" Liu Yongli scolded. "Even if the sky falls, you must keep a straight face! Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The ten warriors began their training again.

The middle-aged physician plucked a flower from an ice layer and let out a soft sound of surprise: "How did a seedling of a second-grade Ice Lotus grow here?"

Liu Yongli turned his head: "What do you mean?"

The middle-aged physician put the snow lotus in his mouth and bit it: "You wouldn't understand if I explained it in a complicated way. You just need to know that the spell that kid cast just now was very strong—unexpectedly strong."

Liu Yongli was puzzled: How strong could Zhao Xing, an eighth-grade Agricultural Officer, be for a sixth-grade physician to say that?

…………

[You cast the spell 'Five-Element Earth-Splitting'. This spell triggered 'Derivation-Three' level luck enhancement. 'Earth-Element' efficiency is increased by an additional twofold; the earth splits for a hundred zhang.]

[You cast the spell 'Five-Element Earth-Splitting'. This spell triggered 'Derivation-Three' level luck enhancement. 'Fire-Element' efficiency is increased by an additional threefold; earth fire surges upward.]

[You cast the spell 'Five-Element Earth-Splitting'. This spell triggered 'Derivation-Three' level luck enhancement. 'Wood-Element' efficiency is increased by an additional fourfold; vitality flourishes.]

[You cast the spell 'Five-Element Earth-Splitting'...]

[...]

Zhao Xing looked at the panel scrolling continuously and immediately smiled.

He had just circled the planting area and cast 'Five-Element Earth-Splitting' forty-five times.

Among them, the number of times the luck 'Great Success' was triggered reached thirty-four!

Consequently, the current explosive situation had occurred.

"Earth fire surging, vitality flourishing... The 'Gambler's Tactics' are awesome!"

In his previous life, Zhao Xing had little interest in these tactics, mainly because his luck level was low back then. Whether farming or fighting, he rarely used them because the unpredictability was too high. No one wanted to gamble their luck in battle; if you lost once, you might lose your life.

By the time his luck increased, the Gambler's Tactics had already been phased out.

But in this life, he had reached the 'Derivation-Three' level of luck early on, and the feeling of using them was completely different.

In a word: exhilarating!

"Whew~"

Zhao Xing descended from the sky and landed on the flying boat.

Then he saw Zhou Ming staring at him with a strange look.

"Did I break the rules?" Zhao Xing asked cautiously.

"No."

"Did I go out of bounds?"

"Neither."

If not, why are you staring at me?

Zhao Xing sat at the table and began to eat.

Agricultural Officers have their own separate kitchen, so he ate whatever Zhou Ming ate.

Having consumed quite a bit of vital energy, Zhao Xing didn't stand on ceremony; he cupped his hands to Zhou Ming and sat down to gorge himself.

Let the earth veins be chaotic for a while.

"How did you do it?" Zhou Ming also sat by the table and poured Zhao Xing a cup of wine.

Zhou Ming was a low-sixth-grade Agricultural Master. Although he was from the Heavenly Timing Academy, it didn't mean he didn't cultivate Earth-Benefit spells.

Zhao Xing's Earth-Splitting Technique had simply dropped Zhou Ming's jaw.

Forty-five spells, thirty-four great successes—what kind of concept was that?

Three out of every four times, an additional effect erupted!

If this probability could be guaranteed, the power of the Five-Element Earth-Splitting Technique could be comparable to a high-level spell!

Even a sixth-grade master like Zhou Ming had to be envious!

"Luck."

Zhou Ming's eyes widened, his fingers lifted slightly, and the poured wine was retracted back into the pot.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but say helplessly: "I'm not fobbing you off, it really is luck."

"You know that the essence of the Five-Element Earth-Splitting Technique is to disrupt the earth vein power in an area."

"It's like taking one stone ball to hit five stone balls squeezed together, with six holes nearby. Whether the latter five fall into the holes or bounce away after the hit is uncontrollable."

"If it's not luck, what is it?"

Zhou Ming poured the wine again and sat down thoughtfully: "Your example is a bit strange. Why six holes? Shouldn't the five elements, wind, and thunder be seven?"

"A slip of the tongue." Zhao Xing was afraid Zhou Ming would take the wine back, so he quickly took a sip of the Purple Jade Nectar.

"Every four times you hit, three times you make the ball go into the hole. Is this really luck?" Zhou Ming asked. "Didn't you research some technique yourself?"

Zhao Xing laughed upon hearing this: "If I had that ability, it wouldn't be hard to pass the exam for a Preaching Mage at the Departing Fire Academy. Creating a high-level spell myself? You really think too highly of me."

Zhou Ming nodded; it seemed he had overthought it.

In the end, he could only believe Zhao Xing's words.

Luck cannot be learned.

Although the Great Zhou is a dynasty of luck, it has no techniques for cultivating luck, nor any for observing luck levels; it doesn't even have a grading system. Derivation-One and Derivation-Two are purely sect terminology.

It's like how the almanac only publishes the 'avoid evil' version and not the 'seek good' version.

When the Great Zhou Ancestor established the dynasty, he slashed at professions related to 'fate', 'luck', and 'feng shui', and he slashed directly at the main artery.

Otherwise, everyone would just go to calculate fate and luck and find someone powerful to cling to; why would they bother cultivating spells?

So the topic could only end here.

Zhao Xing finished eating quickly, recovered his vital energy, and then went down from the flying boat to adjust the earth veins again.

"Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~"

At this time, the earth fire had risen several times over, and the accumulated snow had begun to melt.

Zhao Xing used Earth Vein Synthesis, Earth Treasury Returning to Origin, and Boundless Earth Palace to sort out the earth veins.

This made Zhou Ming think even more highly of him.

Earth Vein Synthesis and Earth Treasury Returning to Origin, adjusting earth veins according to the five-element generation and restriction, are conventional methods.

But being able to use the Earth Palace Technique to adjust them is definitely the work of an experienced old Agricultural Officer!

"Pressing the Boundless Earth Palace onto the water vein, using the Earth Palace Technique to control the water of the five elements to aid the wood element of the earth veins."

"Wood element aids fire element; he forcibly raised the originally weak fire element to the same level as the water element."

"Hmm? Is this Divine Movement Protection?"

Zhou Ming stopped eating, jumped to the ground, and sensed Zhao Xing's operations underground.

At this moment, beneath the ground, besides a Boundless Earth Palace, there was an eight-sided cage-like earth palace colliding back and forth.

It was like plowing the land, guiding the overly exuberant water element of the earth veins toward Pine Snow Lake.

"He used the Boundless Earth Palace as a city wall, blocking the water element power of Pine Snow Lake from spreading to the lakeside... and used the Cloud-Swallowing Technique to block the heavy snow, absorbing water vapor, and then pouring it into Pine Snow Lake. If this cycle continues, I'm afraid this barren land will become fertile soil in less than a day."

"This child not only has a high level of Earth-Benefit spells but also a profound understanding of the five elements. I actually feel like I've learned something." Zhou Ming felt moved.

As a judge, observing Zhao Xing was originally just an obligation, but watching him, he actually felt he had learned something.

Although he was an Agricultural Master from the Heavenly Timing Academy, he was a low-sixth-grade master; he was also well-versed in Earth-Benefit spells.

To be able to make even him feel he had learned something?

"Bah! Ge Jinsong and Cheng Qingming of the Heavenly Timing Academy are simply occupying positions without doing work, blind and ignorant!"

"Exhausted."

After Zhao Xing jumped back onto the flying boat, he lay spread-eagled on the deck, not wanting to move at all.

If one word could summarize the characteristics of each school's spells, the Heavenly Timing School is elegant and free, the Self School is strange and bizarre, and the Earth-Benefit School is about burying one's head in hard work.

Walking the path of the Earth-Benefit School is like this; there is no such thing as a small engineering project.

Hearing Zhao Xing's complaint, Zhou Ming casually offered a bowl of 'chicken soup': "Only by being willing to endure hardship can one have a future."

"As long as you are willing to endure hardship, there will be endless hardship."

Zhou Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Xing climbed up and ran to the table to gorge himself.

Seeing him so hungry, Zhou Ming poured Zhao Xing another bowl of [Purple Jade Nectar]. After he drank it all, he asked with a smile: "Cultivating in the Earth-Benefit Academy is very hard, isn't it? Have you considered changing places? Look, the Heavenly Timing Academy is very comfortable."

"Where is the comfort?" Zhao Xing asked casually.

"Developing the Ten-Sun Cave Heaven—the rough and heavy work is done by the Earth-Benefit Academy, and the miscellaneous and fine work is done by the Great Granary Academy and the Equalization Academy."

"We in the Heavenly Timing Academy just need to run over and set the timing; it's not guaranteed, but we still take the lion's share of the credit. You tell me if that's comfortable or not."

Zhao Xing raised his head and blinked: "Is this something that can be said?"

Zhou Ming sipped his wine with a smile: "Whether it can be said or not, the situation is just like that."

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Xing didn't go down to work anymore, because the seeds had already been planted, and he just had to wait for them to mature.

Seeing Zhou Ming's easygoing manner, Zhao Xing casually asked about the situation in the Ten-Sun Cave Heaven: "I heard that the Ten-Sun Cave Heaven is currently less than thirty percent developed?"

Zhou Ming shook his head: "The overall area hasn't even been explored, so how can we talk about thirty percent?"

Zhao Xing asked: "Can you tell me where the boundary markers have reached?"

"North to the Polar Night Sea, east to Inverted Peak Mountain, west to Pengli Marsh, and south to Crimson Lake."

"The Polar Night Sea is dark all year round, pitch black and extremely cold. Pine Snow Lake, where we are now, is five thousand li further north, which is considered entering the territory of the Polar Night Sea."

"Inverted Peak Mountain is where you, Agricultural Officer Fan, finished developing a while ago. There are many mountains hanging upside down in the sky there, like floating islands. That's because the earth veins are inverted, forming a natural anti-gravity earth palace. It's currently unknown how far the radiation extends."

"Pengli Marsh is shrouded in miasma that never dissipates, and exotic beasts run rampant. Most of the exotic beasts in the Profound Earth Prison were caught from there by the nine garrisons."

"Crimson Lake is named because of the volcanic eruption that spewed a large amount of magma, dyeing it crimson. This place produces the native species 'Earth Fire Lotus', which can help people cultivate Earth Sha; it is the best auxiliary cultivation item for seventh-grade masters."

Zhao Xing poured Zhou Ming a cup of wine.

After Zhou Ming finished drinking, he talked eloquently: "Currently, the Earth-Benefit Academy's main offensive direction is the Inverted Peak Mountain and Crimson Lake area, while the Heavenly Timing Academy is mainly attacking the Pengli Marsh and Polar Night Sea directions."

"As for the known territories, such as the Ten-Thousand-Li Thunder Pool, the Earth Fire Plain, the Gale Mountain Range, and the Heavenly Fire Path, there are still many point-based missions to be had."

"Of course, for fifth-grade masters, those are all small fry; they don't bother searching anymore. It's better to be like Agricultural Officer Fan, getting a billion points at once in Inverted Peak Mountain."

Zhao Xing pondered and asked: "I heard that a single sun in the sky produces heavenly spiritual beauty, while ten suns in the sky are destructive, even fifth-grade masters can't withstand it. I wonder how many times these two phenomena have appeared? What year was the last time?"

Zhou Ming recalled: "In the eleventh year of Jingxin, in March, there was a single sun in the sky, and in October, there were ten suns in the sky. However, the scope was not large and did not affect Yangcheng. Why are you asking this?"

"I've never seen such terrifying phenomena, just curious."

"You still have a chance to see a single sun in the sky, but you won't have the chance to see ten suns in the sky."

"Why?"

"Because it can't appear again. With the efforts of the Agricultural Supervision, constantly transforming the timing and geography within the Ten-Sun Cave Heaven, the ten suns in the sky no longer exist." Zhou Ming said, "Look at the sky over Yangcheng; the timing is stable at less than three suns all year round."

Zhao Xing nodded, but he knew that the Ten-Sun Cave Heaven would appear one more time, seven years after the first appearance.

That is, the eighteenth year of Jingxin.

The second time ten suns were in the sky, it was destructive, with a larger scope and greater power, bringing severe disasters, and many strong people died because of it.

Because before it appeared, it also brewed a large-scale heavenly spiritual beauty. This led to a misjudgment by the Agricultural Supervision, thinking that the transformation was truly successful and that the cave heaven had become a blessed land.

"It's now June of the sixteenth year of Jingxin. There are two years left. I haven't heard of Old Chen. Could it be that he died in the disaster of the eighteenth year of Jingxin?"

"There's still time; I can make some changes when the time comes." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Military Agricultural Officer training usually takes a year and a half, and it might be delayed, but it won't be shorter than that.

This means he will stay at least until the second half of the seventeenth year of Jingxin.

By then, if the Divine Might Army has an external mission, he will leave, and the time is uncertain. If not, he will stay at this cave heaven garrison.

Regardless, Zhao Xing cannot sit idly by; after all, he has joined the Divine Might Army, and he can't just watch Old Chen die.

"Hum~"

Just then, the Earth Mirror vibrated, interrupting Zhao Xing's train of thought.

Taking out the Earth Mirror to look, it was a leaderboard. It listed the point rankings of the more than ten thousand people in the Agricultural Supervision.

"The point statistics for the first three days are out." Zhou Ming also took out his Earth Mirror. "Not bad, kid, you're ranked third."

"Third?" Zhao Xing opened the list to look.

[First place, Shi Yong, training points: 35550]

[Second place, Zhuang Ziqing, training points: 35330]

[Third place, Zhao Xing, training points: 35150]

[Fourth place, Feng Qiu, training points: 35030]

[Fifth place, Cao Shuang, training points: 34980]

[Sixth place, Jiang Tianming, training points: 34920]

[Seventh place, Han Bing, training points: 34850]

[Eighth place, Guan Junyang, training points: 34770]

[Twenty-first place, Meng Song, training points: 33280]

"Shi Yong is four hundred points higher than me, and Zhuang Ziqing is also one hundred and eighty points higher than me." Zhao Xing looked at the rankings. Although the gap was not large, it was a manifestation of strength.

It proved that there was still a gap in everyone's extreme utilization of the environment.

"Cao Shuang and Jiang Tianming from the same academy had performance issues. Han Bing from the middle-grade A-class actually made it to seventh place, and this Feng Qiu is even more exaggerated, actually reaching fourth?"

Zhao Xing was a bit surprised. Feng Qiu was from the Heavenly Timing Academy and only had middle-grade A-class resources, yet he had rushed to fourth place this time.

Besides the two of them, Li Feng and Cai Jin also appeared in the top twenty-one.

"The gap in the top twenty-one is not very large; only the top three have a gap of over a hundred, and the point gap for those behind is less than a hundred."

"The environment for the first three days is indeed easy to get high points." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Second-grade supplies, one thousand jin, 100 points.

Third-grade supplies, one thousand jin, 1000 points.

Fourth-grade supplies, one thousand jin, 10000 points.

Zhao Xing planted five thousand jin of third-grade hemp fish fruit, one thousand five hundred jin of second-grade supplies, and three thousand jin of fire-shining green gold, getting 35150 points.

Regarding third and fourth-grade supplies, he estimated there was no gap between him and Shi Yong; that four hundred points was likely in the quantity of second-grade supplies.

"Extreme supplies, Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing did it more extremely." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "In more than two months, everyone has made progress, and some people are catching up."

"I have to work hard too."

Putting away the Earth Mirror, Zhao Xing jumped off the flying boat and began to focus on supply training.

………………

June 26th, the fourth day of supply training, Chen hour.

The sky over Pine Snow Lake was still gray, and three bright moons were still hanging in the sky.

This was because it was close to the Polar Night Sea, and the light remained at a relatively low level.

Zhao Xing arrived at Pine Snow Lake at Zi hour and used the Gambler's Tactics, only finishing the Earth-Benefit environment at the third quarter of Yin hour.

Sowing at the fourth quarter of Yin hour, casting 'Savage Growth' and 'Wasteland Condensation' once every quarter of an hour.

By the seventh quarter of Chen hour, the third-grade supplies were out.

A total of ten thousand jin, obtaining 10,000 points.

At the start of Si hour, Zhao Xing sent the third-grade supplies over.

Liu Yongli also called a halt to the training.

Xia Jing, Chen Fang, Hu Bing, and Zhang Jie were speechless when they saw the ten thousand jin of third-grade supplies.

Yesterday's fire-shining green gold hadn't been finished yet, and here came another ten thousand jin.

"Can't finish it, simply can't finish it..." Zhang Jie muttered. "I'm afraid this month will be spent in a state of fullness."

"Be content that it's not hemp fish fruit and fire-shining green gold," Xia Jing said. "What else are you hoping for?"

"That's true, just endure it." Hu Bing looked at the military physician's expression. "At least we don't have to suffer extra torture."

Zhao Xing dropped off the supplies and left in a hurry.

The warriors began to eat one after another; this time the supplies were indeed much more normal.

June 27th, the fifth day of supply training.

Zhao Xing planted third-grade supplies again, with a yield of five thousand jin, obtaining 5000 points.

June 28th, the sixth day of supply training.

Fourth-grade supplies, four thousand five hundred jin, obtaining 45,000 points.

June 29th, everyone headed to a new location.

Around Mao hour, the leaderboard changed.

[First place, Shi Yong, training points: 95450]

[Second place, Zhao Xing, training points: 95150]

[Third place, Zhuang Ziqing, training points: 85330]

[Fourth place, Feng Qiu, training points: 80200]

"In the Pine Snow Lake area, I got a total of 60,000 points, with a total score of 95150." Zhao Xing was quite satisfied. "The gap with Shi Yong has narrowed, and I've overtaken Zhuang Ziqing."

The Gambler's Tactics contributed; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get so many points in this second location.

"Starting from the second location, the gap gradually manifested, and the scores began to differ by ten thousand points." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

On the other side, Zhuo Li was also looking at the rankings.

"How did he get 60,000 points all of a sudden?!"

"His total score reached over ninety thousand, while I only have sixty thousand points now."

"Is the gap between me and him really this big?"

Zhuo Li's hand holding the Earth Mirror turned white.

"I've reached thirteenth place, up five spots." Li Feng thought to himself; he was ranked eighteenth on the first list. "But the gap with those in front is still widening."

"Shi Yong, Zhuang Ziqing, Zhao Xing, have they all improved by so many points?"

"This Zhao Xing actually ranked second, and he even surpassed Zhuang Ziqing by nearly ten thousand points!"

Seeing this eye-catching name, Li Feng felt very unhappy.

"In the third location, I must work harder and strive to step on all of them!"

Zhuang Ziqing was also holding the Earth Mirror and looking at the rankings.

"In the second location, I got 50,000 points, Shi Yong got 59,900 points, and this Zhao Xing actually got 60,000 points?" Zhuang Ziqing looked at the rankings, a bit surprised.

"He got ten thousand more points than me in the second location?"

"Where is the difference?"

Zhuang Ziqing summarized.

Because everyone's environment was the same, Zhao Xing was at Pine Snow Lake, so others must have been at Pine Snow Lake too; the place was big enough, they just hadn't met.

Zhuang Ziqing thought he could shake off Zhao Xing, but he didn't expect to be shaken off by Zhao Xing in the second location instead.

"Interesting, Zhao Xing actually got ten thousand more points than me." A flame ignited in Zhuang Ziqing's eyes. "Hmph, in this third location, I will overtake him!"

"How is it? Still first?" Fu Ying looked at his friend.

"Didn't look." Shi Yong squatted on the ground, his fingertips turning over the soil, observing carefully.

"Didn't look?" Fu Ying said. "You really don't pay attention at all?"

"I only compare myself with myself." Shi Yong didn't raise his head, saying faintly. "And there's no need to look."

"Haha, you're confident enough." Fu Ying said. "You say you compare yourself with yourself, but actually you think no one can catch up to you?"

"You should go train."

June 29th, two suns in the sky.

Zhao Xing jumped off the flying boat and saw seven mountain peaks around, and the basin in the middle of these seven peaks was their training area.

The almanac showed the 'Minor Heat' solar term. Zhao Xing sank into the ground and took a turn, unable to help but be speechless.

"Good fellow." Zhao Xing exclaimed.

Because this earth vein was extremely stable in terms of five elements, wind, and thunder, and the seven mountain peaks completely suppressed the earth veins.

In other words, the Earth-Benefit here could not be changed.

It was a terrain that was perfectly 'anti-Gambler's Tactics'.

"Targeting me, are you?" Zhao Xing muttered.

He had just enjoyed the Gambler's Tactics, and three days later, he was sanctioned.

But Zhao Xing just complained in his heart; the higher-ups couldn't change the training location for him, which meant the Seven-Peak Basin was originally a set location.

"If the influence of Earth-Benefit spells is reduced, then it depends on the Self School and Heavenly Timing School spells."

After figuring out the terrain, Zhao Xing cast the Heavenly Timing spell, using the solar term order 'Start of Summer' to replace the timing of the Seven-Peak Basin.

Then he chose suitable seeds to plant.

In the three days in the Seven-Peak Basin, Zhao Xing obtained 50,000 points.

July 3rd, the tenth day of training.

The leaderboard updated.

Zhao Xing took out the Earth Mirror to look.

[First place, Shi Yong, training points: 155450]

[Second place, Zhao Xing, training points: 145150]

[Third place, Zhuang Ziqing, training points: 140330]

[Fourth place, Feng Qiu, training points: 120200]

"The gap was widened by Shi Yong, reaching ten thousand points." Zhao Xing summarized. "In the Seven-Peak Basin, I only got 50,000 points, while Shi Yong got 60,000."

"Zhuang Ziqing got 55,000; it should be due to the gap in the cultivation of the solar term order."

['Wasteland Condensation Technique' seven turns, 'Savage Growth' perfected.]

Zhao Xing had a slight advantage in the Self School.

But the influence of Earth-Benefit factors was reduced, and without the Gambler's Tactics, the gap in his cultivation of the solar term order was relatively obvious.

Because Zhuang Ziqing and Shi Yong had entered the army early and served as military Agricultural Officers for several years, they had cultivated the solar term order for several more years.

He only started cultivating it after entering the Ten-Sun Cave Heaven. The influence of Heavenly Timing spells on production supplies was still very significant; the mainstream schools were not to be trifled with.

Zhao Xing summarized a little, then focused on the present.

July 3rd to July 13th.

During this period, three different training locations were changed.

Heavenly Timing and Earth-Benefit also changed accordingly.

There were extremely hot days with three suns in the sky, and howling winds that never ceased.

Arid desert areas with little water, and even exotic beasts interfering with planting.

In ten days, he and Zhuang Ziqing alternated in rising, sometimes second, sometimes third.

But Zhao Xing no longer paid attention to the leaderboard, but immersed himself in the various environments of the Ten-Sun Cave Heaven.

Supply training allowed him to know in which direction to work hard, how to reasonably match his spells, and then make corrections and adjustments to his own cultivation.

The spell cultivation of the first two months was all theoretical, while this supply training was practical application.

In this competitive atmosphere and different training environments, Zhao Xing was also growing rapidly.

July 14th, training difficulty increased sharply.

The 'Solar Term Order' had completely failed because the minimum was the level of three suns in the sky.

Heavenly Timing spells were greatly discounted, and so were Earth-Benefit spells.

Because the three locations visited in the last ten days of supply training, from July 14th to 24th, were the outskirts of the Gale Mountain Range, the outskirts of the Earth Fire Plain, and the outskirts of the Ten-Thousand-Li Thunder Pool.

The planting difficulty on the outskirts of the Gale Mountain Range was actually not very great, but how to defend it after planting was the problem.

Because the wind in the Gale Mountain Range didn't just blow from the surface, but also blew up from underground.

Twelve hours without stopping, all-around 'wind disaster' coverage.

All Agricultural Officers had to keep their eyes open every moment, fighting for survival time for the planted plants.

Zhao Xing relied on the Small Nine-Heaven Gale and Yin Wind Technique, focusing entirely on defending against the wind disaster, and finally got 20,000 points in the Gale Mountain Range.

On the outskirts of the Earth Fire Plain, the Gambler's Tactics failed again.

Because fire is Yang and tends to rise, while water is Yin and tends to descend.

The effects brought by the Gambler's Tactics are strong, and it's good for blocking or killing enemies here, but it's not suitable for farming.

In the end, Zhao Xing only got ten thousand points.

In the Ten-Thousand-Li Thunder Pool, the situation was even more difficult.

Neither Heavenly Timing nor Earth-Benefit could be changed.

Zhao Xing could only try his luck and planted all the seeds in the bamboo box.

In the end, only two types of seeds survived.

Barely getting three thousand points.

The last day of supply training ended, and Zhao Xing's group set off on the return journey.

The equipped warrior group was lying in the flying boat cabin at this time, not wanting to speak at all.

For a whole month, no one knew how many times they had eaten until they vomited.

After the fourth day, Zhao Xing stopped torturing people, but he couldn't help the large quantity he produced!

Can't finish it, simply can't finish it.

In the days from the fourth to the seventeenth, the ten warriors, the first thing everyone did when they woke up was eat, and after eating, they practiced the Gluttonous Food Technique, then cooperated with exercise and the military physician to digest.

After finally making it to the eighteenth day, the environment became more and more harsh, and everyone expected Zhao Xing's output to decrease.

It did decrease, but the output after the decrease was still a weight that everyone found hard to bear.

In the last nine days and three training locations, Zhao Xing also got 20,000, 10,000, and 3,000 points.

And towards the end, Zhao Xing himself had no choice, and some strange foods began to appear again...

When everyone saw the city walls of Yangcheng again.

Someone in the cabin finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Finally over, woo woo woo." Wang Meng lay on the window, tears streaming down his face.

"I've never felt Yangcheng was so cute; it's simply my second home!" A warrior exclaimed.

"The food I ate this month is more than what I've eaten in two years." A short warrior sniffed his hand. "I don't think I'll eat fish again this year."

"Ugh~" Xia Jing next to him immediately reacted.

"Shut up, don't mention that word!" Xia Jing pinched the short warrior. "If you say it again, I'll chop you!"

"Hiccup~" The warrior being pinched hiccuped, and a foul smell wafted out.

"Ugh~" Now not just Xia Jing, everyone in the cabin started to feel nauseous.

"......"

Liu Yongli, standing at the cabin door, looked at these people and couldn't help but show a sympathetic look.

Even as a bystander, he felt that this group of people was pitiful enough to have encountered such a crazy Agricultural Officer as Zhao Xing.

"The Earth Fire Plain and the Ten-Thousand-Li Thunder Pool, are those places where food can be grown? For a whole month, they didn't rest for a single breath, didn't do anything all day, just practiced the Gluttonous Food Technique... It's really a sin."

Whew~

The Flowing Cloud flying boat returned to the Agricultural Supervision.

Zhao Xing jumped off the Flowing Cloud flying boat and waved to the ten warriors in the cabin.

"Brothers, come visit often."

"Farewell!"

"Whoosh~" The Flowing Cloud flying boat ran away with a whoosh.

"Why run so fast? Not even staying for a cup of tea." Zhao Xing actually missed these ten people, especially Xia Jing; this guy could really eat.

Most of the things he grew went into his stomach.

The other nine people combined didn't eat as much as Xia Jing alone.

"In these last three training locations, I still couldn't grow too much, and there was no choice of flavors. Sigh, can't blame them for running so fast." Zhao Xing shook his head and walked into the Earth-Benefit Academy.

Just as he stepped into the entrance, the Earth Mirror vibrated.
