Chapter 14

This action made Lieutenant Helian Lie and Fang Fang Fang Qingxue slightly surprised.

What is he trying to do?

However, everyone soon understood.

When Zhao Xing jumped into the air, his internal world projection appeared.

A slender willow tree and a tough vine appeared simultaneously.

“Rubber tree, tough vine.” The mentors recognized them immediately.

“Eh, the level isn’t low; the energy level is at least 30.”

“What is he doing… holy crap?”

Seeing Zhao Xing reach the highest point, he landed exactly on the top of the rubber tree.

The tough vine stood upright and pulled downwards fiercely.

Pulling the highly elastic rubber tree into an ‘n’ shape.

The next second, the tough vine released the rubber tree pulled to its limit.

“Whoosh!”

Zhao Xing’s entire body was ejected like a cannonball.

The speed was so fast that he crossed a third of the map in an instant.

“He can do that?”

“Strange, the tough vine can actually pull the rubber tree?”

“To shorten the travel time, ejecting directly, brilliant.”

Lieutenant Helian Lie’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He was calculating the time; Zhao Xing’s movements just now were smooth and fluid, done in one go.

It only took 20 seconds.

The ejection speed was very fast; in about 15 seconds, he flew over a third of the distance.

This way, he would only need 1 minute and 45 seconds to reach the beast nest and enter combat time!

With the strength of the two plant units Zhao Xing displayed, killing the beast leader probably wouldn’t take long either.

“He can finish within 2 minutes?”

Fang Fang Fang Qingxue, who also quickly calculated the result, had a look of shock on her face.

This is the standard of the top 20 on the historical leaderboard!

But Zhao Xing’s goal was not the historical top 20!

After flying once, Zhao Xing himself accurately estimated the time in his heart.

“Doing this is still too slow.”

“The top twenty is not enough!”

“Five years of silence, breaking the record is what I need to do!”

A fighting spirit burned in Zhao Xing’s heart; especially with so many people watching, he wanted to prove himself even more.

After the first ejection, as he was about to fall, Zhao Xing did not choose the previous method.

Instead, he plunged directly into the jungle.

“Hm? Why didn’t he continue?”

“Could it be that he only has one rubber tree and one tough vine?”

“That’s true, plant-type lives with such high levels are not easy to raise.”

The mentors discussed; after all, it was clear that Zhao Xing’s two types of plants were of very high level.

“Open the recorder inside the canyon.” The Principal ordered.

“Yes.” The Director standing next to him immediately started the recording.

Zhao Xing’s figure soon appeared on the screen.

The mentors’ gazes focused on the screen.

The next moment, they were shocked.

“Is this Jungle Jump?”

“Isn’t it said that one must reach the intermediate Lord level and touch the rudiments of the internal world’s Dao to comprehend Jungle Jump?”

“How is that possible, could he be an intermediate Lord?”

“That’s even more impossible; just now the Principal saw at a glance that he is only an eighth-tier Lord.”

The group of mentors exploded.

Because the Lord skill Zhao Xing was currently using was called Jungle Jump.

The effect of this skill was very crude.

It could use plants as a medium to teleport from one tree to another.

As long as there were plants within sight, one could jump!

Now Zhao Xing was using this move!

As the owner of an S-grade talent, with the Time God Tree in his internal world, a divine object.

Zhao Xing’s internal world was naturally more miraculous than any novice Lord’s.

When his Lord Power reached the eighth tier, he comprehended this life-saving divine skill for plant-type Lords!

“Whoosh~”

In the final jump, Zhao Xing stepped out from a tree trunk near the beast nest.

In front, a two-headed saber-toothed tiger stood up alertly, staring at the figure that suddenly appeared fifty meters away.

“Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Die!” Zhao Xing’s expression was cold, and his world projection appeared.

A four-star sword bamboo rose from the ground!

“Shoo shoo shoo~”

36 sword auras all aimed at the beast leader.

Piercing it through entirely!

One-hit kill!

The wristband vibrated gently, indicating the task was complete.

57 seconds!

A new record was born!

57 seconds, a new record was born!

Zhao Xing’s name rose rapidly from 89th place, quickly surpassing all other names.

Finally, it sat at the top of the Wind-Thunder Canyon historical leaderboard!

[First place, Zhao Xing, plant-type Lord, time to kill the beast leader: 57 seconds!]

“Record broken, finished within a minute!”

“57 seconds? I, did I see that right?”

“This, it directly refreshed Lieutenant Helian Lie’s record.”

“And a plant-type Lord, truly rare in history!”

The group of mentors were all shocked; after all, they witnessed the birth of the record with their own eyes.

It even surpassed Lieutenant Helian Lie’s 1 minute 32 seconds.

However, the mentors also restrained their emotions.

After all, they were here to accompany Lieutenant Helian Lie to reminisce about the past.

Breaking the record in front of the person himself, they didn’t want to show too much.

But Fang Fang Fang Qingxue didn’t have so many scruples; her eyes shone with strange light, and she subconsciously blurted out: “Record broken! 57 seconds!”

“Principal, Zhao Xing… this is the fastest record in Anping Academy in the last ten years!”

Fang Fang Fang Qingxue was naturally excited.

She had been Zhao Xing’s main mentor for three years; it hadn’t been easy.

Fang Fang Fang Qingxue had always wanted to figure out the problem with Zhao Xing and solve it.

At first, it was just curiosity; after all, Zhao Xing’s situation was relatively rare.

However, after several years of interaction, Fang Fang Fang Qingxue had also invested some effort into it.

For Zhao Xing, this former classmate, she had mixed in some indescribable emotions.

What a woman finds most unforgettable is not those who fawn over her, but those for whom she has put in effort.

And at this moment, with Zhao Xing’s graduation in sight, and even having mastered the powerful skill [Jungle Jump] beyond expectations.

Fang Fang Fang Qingxue actually felt happier than when she graduated herself!

“57 seconds?” A trace of surprise flashed in Lieutenant Helian Lie’s eyes.

He smiled and said: “Principal, congratulations, the school has another good seedling.”

Lieutenant Helian Lie had no displeasure at all, and of course, no jealousy or anything like that.

Because they were simply not on the same level.

On the contrary, he had a feeling of having picked up a treasure.

Breaking the record was nothing.

After all, Zhao Xing had been repeating at Anping Academy for several years.

Normal novice Lords, by now, were probably like Fang Fang Fang Qingxue, Bains, and the others, having become intermediate or even senior Lords.

The point was that Zhao Xing had comprehended [Jungle Jump]!

This proved that the other party had touched the rudiments of the rules of the internal world!

The rules of the internal world are the foundation for measuring whether a Lord is powerful or not, and also prove their talent.

If a Lord’s internal world forms its own rules, it will possess incredible power.

For example, the Primordial World built by the Red Star Emperor.

Entering the Primordial World during the novice Lord stage will far exceed the growth speed in the outside world.

It is similar to a [Blessing] effect inherent to the world.

It can benefit billions of people!

But it is very, very difficult to make the internal world give birth to rules with unique effects.

Let alone that Zhao Xing is still a novice Lord; even if he were a senior Lord, mastering this skill would count as a genius!

What’s more, Lieutenant Helian Lie could see that Zhao Xing was only an eighth-tier novice Lord now.

Comprehending the rudiments of rules when the internal world is weak?

He can absolutely be counted as a genius.

That’s why Lieutenant Helian Lie felt he had picked up a treasure.

“Principal, congratulations.” Lieutenant Helian Lie smiled.

The other mentors, seeing Lieutenant Helian Lie say so, naturally didn’t need to worry about anything anymore, and one after another congratulated Anping Academy for producing another genius.

“Delivering talent to the Empire is the duty of all the mentors at our Anping Academy.”

“Speaking of congratulations, I think I should congratulate you, Little Lie.”

“As a senior, it will definitely be easier for you to recruit Zhao Xing.”

The old Principal was calm and didn’t show too much excitement.

Nor did he take the credit for himself.

After all, he hadn’t paid special attention to Zhao Xing in the previous years.

However, as long as he fulfilled his duties as Principal normally and didn’t let Zhao Xing suffer unfair treatment during that time.

Then a share of the credit for education would not be lacking.

“Haha, thank you, teacher, for your support.” Lieutenant Helian Lie grinned.

The old Principal nodded slightly, then looked around and asked: “In these few years, who was Zhao Xing’s main mentor?”

“Me.” Fang Fang Fang Qingxue stepped out.

“In these few years, how has Zhao Xing been doing at the academy?” The old Principal asked.

Fang Fang Fang Qingxue naturally understood the deep meaning in the old Principal’s words, so she replied: “He was my classmate; he worked very hard and didn’t have any complaints.”

Hearing this answer, the old Principal understood.

Fang Fang Fang Qingxue said there were no complaints, which proved that in these few years, at least the school hadn’t done anything to mistreat Zhao Xing.

Otherwise, he would have needed to make amends afterward.

“Good, you did well.” The Principal nodded. “You heard Lieutenant Lieutenant Helian’s words just now; he is here on behalf of the military.”

“This is a good destination; you are his main mentor, go and introduce it to him, and by the way, handle the matter of the points.”

“Yes.” Fang Fang Fang Qingxue nodded.

“No need, let’s go together.” Lieutenant Helian Lie said with sincerity. “Junior Sister Fang, please.”

…………

Zhao Xing didn’t know that after breaking the record, he had attracted the attention of Lieutenant Helian Lie, the Principal, and others.

After finishing the challenge, he felt some fatigue in his body.

[Jungle Jump] is a powerful skill, but it also consumes a lot.

This skill was indeed, as Lieutenant Helian Lie and others guessed, comprehended by himself.

With the Time God Tree, plus his S-grade talent ability, it was expected that Zhao Xing would comprehend it early.

With his current strength as an eighth-tier novice Lord, using this skill multiple times had almost depleted the energy in his body.

Although tired, Zhao Xing’s spirit was very excited.

“First place on the Wind-Thunder Canyon leaderboard, directly broke the record.”

“The top three get 100,000 points, plus breaking the record and being first, how many points can I get this time?”

Zhao Xing looked at his wristband; the points hadn’t updated yet, but the ranking had changed.

It shouldn’t be long before they arrive.

“With 100,000 points, I can make up for the time wasted in the previous five years.” Zhao Xing thought to himself.

…………

After killing the beast leader and before leaving the canyon, he ran into Lieutenant Helian Lie.

To increase the success rate of recruitment, Lieutenant Helian Lie displayed his extraordinary strength.

Bringing his adjutant and Fang Fang Fang Qingxue, he descended from the sky with a powerful martial aura.

The powerful aura exclusive to Martial Dao Lords wrapped around his body, emitting a pale white halo.

Making Lieutenant Helian Lie look very imposing.

“So strong!” A trace of envy appeared in Zhao Xing’s eyes; by comparison, what he did before couldn’t be called flying at all.

And the other party could not only fly but also carry people; it was damn cool!

Lieutenant Helian Lie took in the subtle changes in Zhao Xing’s expression, withdrew his majestic aura, and smiled heartily: “Junior Brother Zhao, well done!”

“You even broke the record I held for 10 years; you’re really something.”

“A plant-type Lord being able to reach this point is truly a genius.”

Zhao Xing naturally wouldn’t be arrogant enough to be proud in front of Lieutenant Helian Lie, especially since the other party’s words were kind.

“Not at all, Senior is too kind.”

“I’ve been repeating for many years before coming here to challenge.”

“And in front of Senior, I really don’t dare to call myself a genius.”

Seeing that Zhao Xing didn’t have the bad habits of those geniuses, Lieutenant Helian Lie appreciated him even more and laughed: “Hahaha, I was once the first in the Wind-Thunder Canyon, and now you, Junior Brother, have broken the record.”

“Come, Senior will send you out of this canyon, it can be considered passing the torch; you must not refuse.”

Fang Fang Fang Qingxue, listening to the conversation between the two, was also somewhat impressed by Senior Lieutenant Helian Lie’s methods.

He could speak well, and his strength wasn’t weak.

No wonder he could make it in the military.

It seemed like a small matter to just carry Zhao Xing for a flight.

But once a person doesn’t refuse someone the first time, it’s very likely they won’t refuse Lieutenant Helian Lie’s subsequent proposals either.

Seeing Zhao Xing agree, Fang Fang Fang Qingxue muttered to herself: “I must remind him later; with his current situation, there are many directions he can choose, he doesn’t necessarily have to go to the military department.”

…………

Lieutenant Helian Lie carried Zhao Xing out of the canyon.

Then the group took a mechanical spaceship back to Anping Academy.

The teleportation array was for novice Lords.

Anyway, they weren’t in a hurry, and Zhao Xing was happy to ride such a high-level mechanical spaceship.
