Chapter 212: Chapter 16: Enraged Zuo Zizhi! The Five Suns in the Sky! (Third Part for 3000 Monthly Tickets Plus Fourth Update)_3

"You make it sound so easy, but the Bright Eyes Technique is a common spell, and Ninth Grade only allows for a vision of a kilometer, moreover hindered by the rain obstructing the view. Are you sure you won’t get dizzy?"

"Stop overthinking, let’s first manage to bring rain, I just collected 1 percent with the Cloud Rain Pearl, and it was with great effort to control it. I don’t even know if I can manage fifteen minutes."

"With the five suns shining down, will this rain even reach the ground?"

"Difficult! Both the cloud and rain spells have to be controlled to perfection, without letting any part dissipate."

"..."

No matter how much everyone complained about the difficulty, the test had begun.

Twenty people were grouped together, and twenty-five Cloud Flying Boats started to fly toward their respective destinations.

Each person took turns to bring rain, once one finished, they immediately moved to another location.

Everyone’s initial conditions were the same.

Zhao Xing’s group was not full with twenty people, because eighteen had already been eliminated earlier.

So on this Flying Boat, there were only nineteen people.

Zhuo Li, Jiang He, Jiang Hai, Hua Zhilin, happened to also be in this group.

And there was another familiar face to Zhao Xing.

"First up, Zhenhai Army, He Yu," the Judge read the first name.

"Present," the young man called shuddered visibly as his name was read.

"Begin," the Judge said indifferently.

"Yes."

He Yu stood at the bow of the boat, his heart filled with bitter worries.

He had barely scraped by in the last round.

This round should have been his strength, but he had hesitated in collecting rainwater and had not gathered much.

So, he had no confidence at all in his heart.

"Buzz~"

As soon as people get nervous and lose their balance, their clouds start to deform.

The moment He Yu executed his cloud spell, under the shining of the five suns, his cloud layer rapidly diminished.

Before he could proceed to the next step, the cloud layer collapsed, and He Yu was directly rendered impotent.

"Pfft~," Hua Zhilin covered her mouth and laughed.

"?" Zhao Xing looked at the androgynous person beside him in surprise.

He wasn’t surprised by He Yu’s mistake, but what’s with her dainty laugh? And covering her mouth too?!

"Really interesting, he’s so flustered he can’t even control the cloud spell. Make sure none of you make such a mistake," Hua Zhilin said as she raised her eyebrows when everyone looked at her.

"... Damn it!" Zhao Xing’s mind was in turmoil, especially when she raised an eyebrow, which made his skin crawl, and he unconsciously retreated behind the rest of the group.

Zhuo Li, Jiang He, Jiang Hai next to him also frowned because Zhao Xing moved behind them.

Even the Judge couldn’t help but glance at Hua Zhilin.

"The rest of you, keep quiet!"

Hua Zhilin pursed her lips and stopped speaking.

Ah, that gesture chilled Zhao Xing to the bone, and only by relying on his strong psychological fortitude did he refrain from lashing out.

"Make it rain!" He Yu roared, and his trembling cloud layer began to rotate a Cloud Rain Pearl, barely squeezing out rainwater.

However, due to the harsh environment and his intense nervousness, the attempt was still a failure, and he didn’t even score the base points.

"Three failures, you’re eliminated, come back," the Judge stated blandly.

"Yes." He Yu shook his head and returned to the boat. He had failed twice just trying to create a cloud earlier, and this third failure meant there was no fourth chance.

Ultimately, he fell at the fourth hurdle.

The Cloud Flying Boat flew a great distance forward.

"Next up, Jiang Hai."

Upon hearing his name, Jiang Hai took a deep breath and jumped to the bow of the boat.

His cloud formation was sword-shaped; the Soldier Cloud Skill was relatively strong in terms of stability. After performing the cloud spell, it was fairly steady.

Although it still trembled under the blaze of the five suns, he managed to successfully bring rain for a while.

Zhao Xing noticed that the rain droplets Jiang Hai made were also sword-shaped.

Jiang Hai played the black pieces, but by the looks of it, he didn’t seem very satisfied with his result.

The Judge quickly announced the results: "Sword cloud, bringing rain for two quarters, rain quantity forty-five; playing the black pieces, killed one thousand nine enemies, lost eight hundred twenty-three."

"Final score, 276."

Jiang Hai sighed lightly. Under such conditions, bringing rain through his cloud was already his limit.

As for distinguishing between friend and foe below, it was indeed too difficult for him to control.

The final outcome was indeed one thousand enemy casualties to eight hundred self-inflicted losses.

As for creating clouds and bringing rain, those were the base points, with duration, and quantity being multiplied.

Sword rain’s enemy casualty boosting was an additional scoring factor; if positive, it’s added; if negative, it’s subtracted.

So, Jiang Hai’s final score was a base of 90 and an additional 186, totaling 276 points.

"If you’re not sure, don’t go for the additional points," someone thought, "If you kill eight hundred but lose a thousand, all the base points would be deducted."

"Next up, Yu Zhou." The Judge steered the Flying Boat to the next location, then called another name.

"Thundercloud, bringing rain for two quarters, rain quantity thirty-six, playing the white pieces, killed five hundred forty-six, lost five hundred forty-one. Total score, 77."

"Alas."

.....

"Next, Jiang Tao, total score, 155."

...

"Next, Jiang He... total score, 263."

...

"Next, Liu Ping... total score, 0!"

"Next, Zhuo Li... total score, 425."

As time passed, some who barely scored their base points, tried to gamble for a higher score with the additional points and ended up losing more than they killed, forfeiting their base points entirely.

However, it wasn’t long before another high score emerged in the group.

Zhuo Li’s performance broke Jiang Hai’s record with a score of 425.

Under the admiring gazes of the others, Zhuo Li stepped down from the bow proudly and even glanced at Zhao Xing’s way, his eyes holding a hint of provocation, as if asking: Divine Might Army guy, how many points will you get?

Zhao Xing felt Zhuo Li’s gaze and simply smiled dismissively.

This guy must have been kicked in the head by a donkey; with his cloud spell performance and being the first to collect rainwater, how could he lose to him?

Soon, the Flying Boat moved toward the next location.

And the Judge called out his name.

"Next, Zhao Xing."
