Chapter 203: Chapter 13: Whispers in the Wind, 90% Elimination!_3

He had taken the Giant Whale Pill and his viscera were strengthened. To repay Master Li Fire, he had also undergone weighted training for many days and now started to run.

Li Feng couldn’t catch up for a while.

"Who is that person? Why is Li Feng chasing him?" members of the Tiger Flood Dragon Army who recognized Li Feng were suddenly puzzled, "This first challenge doesn’t rank participants, there’s no need for this chase."

"Who knows? Maybe there’s some grievance."

...

As Zhao Xing ran, realizing that Li Feng was still on his heels, he felt somewhat helpless.

It was just one set-up, yet he holds such a grudge.

In any case, he didn’t want to confront Li Feng now and waste time.

He simply sped up to avoid him.

"Hmm? That’s Li Feng, who is he chasing?" Feng Qiu saw the scene of Zhao Xing and Li Feng’s chase as he walked alongside Zhuang Ziqing.

Zhuang Ziqing pondered, "I seem to have seen this person as well, he was in the Ten Thousand Leich area, employing the Ksitigarbha Returning Origin technique."

"Ten Thousand Leich?" Feng Qiu pondered, "Now that you mention it, I do have some impression. When I crossed the Gang Wind Mountain Range and entered the territory of Yang City, I saw someone using cloud and wind techniques to move forward."

"His wind technique was poor, but his cloud technique was indeed remarkable; it seemed like he had mastered the Swallowing Cloud Skill."

"There must have been some grievance when they reported," Zhuang Ziqing said with a smile, "Li Feng was ranked sixth among us during our internal selection, but this time he ended up ranked over a hundred, probably because of a conflict with this person."

"He looks average, nothing special." Feng Qiu said indifferently, "Li Feng really is a waste."

...

East suburbs of Yang City.

As soon as Zhao Xing crossed the border marker, he immediately stopped.

A Flying Boat appeared in the sky ahead.

Clearly, he had run to the place.

"Buzz~"

The Earth Mirror in his chest vibrated slightly; Zhao Xing took it out and looked at it.

It displayed a notification from the Ten Suns Army.

It indicated he had passed the first challenge.

"You run, keep running!"

"I want to see where you can run to!"

Li Feng, with a grim face, appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"You’ve made it very difficult for me."

Zhao Xing said, "In any place under heaven, there are many who look alike; could it be that you recognized the wrong person?"

Li Feng snorted, "You need not pretend; I would recognize you even if you turned to ash!"

"Alright, then I won’t pretend," Zhao Xing shrugged his shoulders, "It was indeed me who trapped you. Would you like to settle this with three hundred rounds of debate so that everyone knows about it?"

"You..." Li Feng suddenly found himself at a loss for words. He, too, was blinded by anger until he realized it wasn’t the place to start a fight.

"I’ll remember you." Li Feng looked deeply at Zhao Xing, "You better not fall into my hands."

"I’ll be waiting." Zhao Xing, unfazed, "Just make sure not to let me trap you again."

As more people arrived, Li Feng, after speaking, snorted coldly and walked away.

He found Zhao Xing irksome now.

"What’s going on?"

At that moment, Han Bing also crossed the marker and appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"There was a small issue over at Ten Thousand Leich," he said.

Surprise crossed Han Bing’s face: "The person who caused Li Feng to drop to beyond a hundred is you?"

Li Feng being ranked beyond a hundred naturally attracted quite a bit of attention.

Since there were many people in front of Ten Thousand Leich at the time, the news spread quickly afterward.

That’s why Li Feng was so upset seeing Zhao Xing.

"Hmm."

"Call me if you need anything."

Zhao Xing glanced at Han Bing, then smiled and nodded, accepting the goodwill the other had extended.

After a pause, Han Bing asked, "Does the fury at Earth Fire Plain have anything to do with you?"

Zhao Xing was startled, "Has that spread already?"

"No," Han Bing shook her head, "I just guessed, intuition."

Seeing Zhao Xing’s reaction, Han Bing knew her guess was right, "Was it really you?"

"Yes," Zhao Xing said, "Why are you stepping back?"

"I’m afraid of getting caught in your lightning strike."

"Hey, just a moment ago you said to call you if I needed anything, that changed too fast."

"Do you need me to help collect your body?"

"..."

Han Bing had quite a dry sense of humor, and Zhao Xing was choked up.

The two of them chatted for a while, and soon it was about 16:45.

By then, the crowd at the eastern outskirts of Yang City had gradually begun to increase.

It started with barely a dozen people.

After 16:45, the number increased to over a hundred.

By 16:45,

there were nearly a thousand people.

As the time came, two figures flew out from the Flying Boat.

The people below immediately recognized them.

"It’s Zuo Zizhi from Pinghuai Institute!"

"And Lu Bang from Taicang Institute!"

"Are they going to announce the results?"

"Wonder how many made it through."

"..."

Agricultural Master and Agricultural Officer, both specific positions, with the Officer being part of the high management of the four major institutes.

Seeing these two appear, the crowd below burst into discussions.

Zuo Zizhi and Lu Bang then flew up into the air, using the wind to project their voices.

"The first trial has ended, 931 candidates have passed."

"931 candidates may continue to the second trial."

"Those who did not hear the news and rushed to the eastern outskirts of Yang City are to be allocated to branches outside of the Taicang, Pinghuai, Heavenly Time, and Earth Advantage institutes."

The sound spread throughout Yang City.

At that time, whether contemplating or sound asleep, the new recruits all heard the announcement.

"What, the trial has already started? When did it happen?!"

"Wasn’t it supposed to be on April 1st, what’s this about news, and why the eastern outskirts?"

"Ah, I can’t even catch the slightest wind, my vigilance is too poor."

"Oh no, to think I was asleep at such a crucial time!"

"Alas, no connection with the four great institutes now."

"..."

All around Yang City, voices of frustration and regret from the recruits filled the air, many cursing themselves for not being more alert.

Some knew the challenge was too tough to begin with; out of over ten thousand, the first trial eliminated ninety percent! Even the most vigilant might not have caught on. So they quickly adjusted their attitudes, ready to compete for rankings in other branches.

At the eastern outskirts of Yang City, Zuo Zizhi also announced the content of the second trial.
