Chapter 206: Chapter 14: Swallowing Clouds, Who Can Compete?!_3

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Soldier Cloud Skill Eight Transition, a total of eight Cloud Armor Thunder Spear Giants, launched an attack on Zhao Xing’s clouds.

The sound of thunder shattering was endless.

It was a peculiar scene, as if eight people were frantically stabbing a stack of hay.

It appeared that Li Feng had the upper hand.

But the more he stabbed, the more something felt off.

His first thought was, Why isn’t Zhao Xing fighting back? Surely he couldn’t be this weak?

His second thought was, Why are my Cloud Armor Giants getting smaller? They’re consuming too fast, aren’t they?

By the time Li Feng realized that Zhao Xing’s clouds were growing larger with each stab, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

"Damn it, this is definitely not Thunder Cloud Skill, could it be..."

Li Feng immediately tried to order the Cloud Armor Giants to retreat.

But at that moment, he discovered they were unable to move.

With their last thrust, the purple-black Thunder Spears became completely embedded, as if stuck into stone.

"Boom~"

On the purple-black Thunder Spears, a shade even darker began to crawl up the Cloud Armor Giants’ bodies, spreading rapidly.

Soon, these eight Cloud Armor Giants turned completely black.

"Buzz~" Li Feng’s mind trembled, incredulously looking in Zhao Xing’s direction.

He had lost control over the eight Cloud Armor Giants.

"Eh?" From a distance, Zhuang Ziqing watched the scene, a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Could this be... Swallowing Cloud Skill?"

"The Cloud Armor Giants have become Zhao Xing’s," Feng Qiu said with a cold expression, also showing a trace of solemnity, "At first I thought only Thunder Cloud Skill could withstand, but it turned out to be Swallowing Cloud Skill."

"Now, his layer of clouds has become the outward manifestation of Soldier Cloud."

....

"He, he’s practicing Swallowing Cloud Skill," Li Feng was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

The reversal came too quickly, he thought he was in control, only to find out that Zhao Xing was using Swallowing Cloud Skill!

Swallowing Cloud Skill is the most domineering among the Cloud Method, not only can it swallow the cloud qi of others, but it can also use the enemy’s Cloud Method after swallowing, for instance, Zhao Xing’s clouds have now become Soldier Cloud.

The eight black-armored giants with spears turned around and attacked Li Feng’s clouds.

"Hold on, as long as his level of Swallowing Cloud Skill isn’t too high, I can at least not lose!" Li Feng’s eyes reddened, but he had a vague feeling that things were already going badly.

He himself had practiced Swallowing Cloud Skill, but only to the third transition; not just him, most others would also choose to minor in Swallowing Cloud Skill.

His original plan was to crush Zhao Xing with Soldier Cloud, and then use Swallowing Cloud Skill to absorb Zhao Xing’s cloud qi, strengthening himself.

For Zhao Xing to actually absorb his Cloud Armor Giants and turn them to his own use proved that the other’s Swallowing Cloud Skill was at least at the Seventh Transition, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible to swallow his Eight Transition Cloud Armor Giants so easily.

"Still trying to resist?"

Seeing that Li Feng was still resisting, Zhao Xing didn’t hesitate to control the cloud layer, instantly enlarging it, as a huge vortex appeared within the dark clouds, like a gargantuan abyssal maw, swallowing towards Li Feng’s clouds.

"Spare mercy!" At this moment, a Cloud Sword flew swiftly from the south, aiming to stop Zhao Xing.

"Hold on!" From the north, a cluster of thunderclouds came over to support Li Feng.

Zhao Xing fixed his gaze and recognized them as the brothers who ranked in the top ten last time, Jiang He and Jiang Hai. These two brothers were also the talents chosen by the Tiger Flood Dragon Army.

Shi Yong, Zhuang Ziqing, Feng Qiu, Jiang He, Jiang Hai—these five members of the Tiger Flood Dragon Army had dominated the top ten spots in the previous tests.

"Zhao Xing, you’ve already won. Please, give the Tiger Flood Dragon Army some face and don’t eliminate Li Feng," Jiang He and Jiang Hai said.

"Give face?" Zhao Xing replied coldly, "Your pride is indeed great, two reserve rookies who presume to speak for the Tiger Flood Dragon Army? If he had won, would I not have been eliminated?"

"If you lose, you accept it. If you’re not afraid of being eliminated, then come over!"

With that, Zhao Xing swallowed Li Feng’s cloud layer completely.

"Boom~"

The cloud layer instantly expanded, and Zhao Xing’s clouds transformed into the Soldier Cloud state. He then spat out a total of eighteen Cloud Armor Giants from the vortex.

The jet-black giants were evidently stronger than those Li Feng had summoned.

"Pfft~"

The Cloud Method was broken, and the backlash of Li Feng’s vitality caused blood to spill from his mouth, his face turning pale.

He wouldn’t normally have been this vulnerable, but being defeated publicly in a fit of desperation caused him to lose control over the reversal of his vitality.

"Huu~" A gentle breeze blew over Li Feng, and the next moment he appeared outside the boundary marker.

Jiang He and Jiang Hai, seeing this, let out a cold snort and had no choice but to give up.

"Li Feng has lost?"

"Swallowing Cloud Skill, such a powerful Swallowing Cloud Skill—that must be at least the Seventh Transition Swallowing Cloud, right?"

"Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army, how come I’ve never heard of him before?"

"In the way of the Cloud Method, I alone am supreme. The Swallowing Cloud Skill is the strongest among all Cloud Skills, but it’s too difficult to practice. I’ve only managed to reach the fourth transition," one person commented.

"Who dares to concentrate on training the Swallowing Cloud Skill? It delays progress too much. Most people main other Cloud Skills and only complement with Swallowing Cloud," another added.

"With the Swallowing Cloud unleashed, who can contend?"

"It looks like no one can surpass Zhao Xing in this stage of the Cloud Method," another speculated.

Many eyes were now attentively watching that pitch-black cloud vortex in the sky, and the name Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army was firmly committed to memory.

...

On the Flying Boat, Zuo Zizhi and Lu Bang quietly observed the commotion below.

"Swallowing Cloud Skill at the eighth transition," Zuo Zizhi exclaimed in surprise, "no wonder he was picked by the Divine Might Army as soon as he became a regular officer. He truly has some unique aspects."

"Li Feng was too arrogant, only fighting with Cloud Skills; he even dared to make lofty statements. It seems his previous streak of victories got to his head," Lu Bang said with a cold huff, "Losing here is good for him to come back to his senses. If he remains arrogant in the army, it won’t just be his own downfall, he will also bring disgrace to the entire army."

"It looks like the people below are too idle, with quite a few watching the battles and chatting. Is it time to speed up the elimination process?" Zuo Zizhi asked.

"I was thinking the same," Lu Bang nodded and then made a pressing motion with both hands.

The stiff, dark golden clouds in the sky fiercely descended.
