Chapter 233: Chapter 23: I Have More Confidence in Zhao Xing_3

Fang Wu stared down: "From the perspective of a commander, every time Zhao Xing takes action, he coordinates with another group of the Minister of Agriculture Supervision. While knocking down the enemy, he maximizes the relief for his allies."

"In contrast, Shi Yong’s martial skills are powerful, but they help his allies less."

"I feel that Shi Yong is treating this as personal training, neglecting this point."

"But Zhao Xing is different. He actively organizes manpower. Each time he takes action, it is just right. I feel he doesn’t intentionally do this since I haven’t seen him communicate with others. It’s a completely subconscious strategic move. However, as he fights, many people gather around him and act with him."

"Others, those with strength lack strategy, and those with strategy lack strength."

Fang Wu continued: "If I have to choose someone to go to war with me, I would definitely choose Zhao Xing over Shi Yong."

"This is why I favor Zhao Xing more."

....

"It’s getting harder."

On the training ground, Zhao Xing also began to feel the pressure.

"There are fewer and fewer Ministers of Agriculture left, while there are more and more martial artists."

"Although people on both sides are being eliminated, the proportion of those eliminated is too different."

After the chaos of the mid stage, the entire training ground had fewer than five thousand people left!

Of these nearly five thousand, Zhao Xing estimated there were at least two thousand martial artists left!

What did this mean? Nearly nine thousand Ministers of Agriculture had been eliminated, and less than 1000 martial artists had been eliminated.

"Although the Minister of Agriculture Supervision has geniuses with strong martial skills, there are more geniuses in the military department." In military selection, the martial artist base was much larger than that of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Minister of Agriculture Reserve had just over ten thousand people, but the martial artist reserve exceeded one hundred thousand.

With a larger base, naturally, there were more geniuses.

"Winning is fundamentally impossible. No wonder the initial rule for the Minister of Agriculture was just to persevere." Zhao Xing shook his head.

At first, he thought there might be a chance to organize a counter-attack, but he quickly gave up.

Because the other side also had masters, not only strong but also extremely outstanding in command and organizational ability.

The four major military departments were all trained according to the standards of an Assistant General.

Just like the four major academies of the Ministry of Agriculture Supervision, if two hundred people met the training standards, they could be appointed as seventh-rank officials in the nine military units!

"Prepare to get beaten up."

Seeing the changing situation around him, Zhao Xing felt a bit helpless. He couldn’t take the initiative to leave the training ground.

Because the ranking of the Ministers of Agriculture was based on the duration of perseverance; the last one standing was the first place.

He was in the top tier and had to be in the top twenty-one. If his ranking fell below this for three consecutive times, he would be demoted to the mid tier, replaced by someone with better performance.

"Getting beaten up is still training in enduring pain," Zhao Xing prepared himself for the final stage.

...

An hour later, there were only fifteen hundred Ministers of Agriculture left in the training ground.

The number of martial artists was also below two thousand.

After all, the closer it got to the end, the stronger the melee abilities of the remaining Ministers of Agriculture.

As the space on the training ground expanded, it became harder for martial artists to knock down Ministers of Agriculture.

...

Half an hour later, a certain balance was broken.

The number of martial artists being eliminated became fewer and fewer, while the number of Ministers of Agriculture quickly dropped from fifteen hundred to over four hundred.

This was because once the martial artists had the numerical advantage, they began to hunt.

At the same time, the geniuses of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu military departments also began to frequently encounter the geniuses of the Ministry of Agriculture Supervision.

When the top elites of the Ministry of Agriculture Supervision couldn’t hold on, the collapse naturally happened faster.

.....

Two quarters later.

Less than a hundred Ministers of Agriculture remained.

Almost every breath, someone fell and didn’t get up again, losing their combat ability.

At this moment, Zhao Xing was also covered in injuries.

Because as the numbers decreased, the primordial energy on the training ground gradually stabilized, and he had to face martial skill attacks from all directions.

Even with the defense of the reed raincoat and the Flowers Fighting Umbrella, the martial artists attacking him were becoming increasingly powerful. He couldn’t handle multiple opponents at once and had to fight while retreating.

In fact, it couldn’t even be called a fight. The Kui Niu Thunder Roar was merely a passive defense, slowing the speed of his being hit.

In this way, Zhao Xing struggled to persevere on the training ground.

....

Another quarter passed, leaving fewer than thirty people on the training ground.

"Bang!"

Zhao Xing’s entire body was slammed, falling backward to the ground.

The Flowers Fighting Umbrella across his chest was severely deformed and even somewhat shattered.

Zhao Xing glanced around and found he could no longer gauge how many people were left.

"Roar!" Zhao Xing exerted his last bit of strength to let out one final Kui Niu Thunder Roar. Even though he was exhausted and covered in wounds, he fought like a trapped beast.

In the ripples emitted by the Kui Niu Thunder Roar, most martial artists showed painful expressions and avoided him.

At this moment, a tall young man ignored the Kui Niu Thunder Roar. He quickly leaped over and landed three meters in front of Zhao Xing.

"My name is Xia Jing." The young man extended a finger towards Zhao Xing’s chest. "I’ll send you off."

"Whoosh!" A beam of golden light pierced through the Flowers Fighting Umbrella, forming a half-thumb-sized dent on the reed raincoat.

"Bang!" Zhao Xing felt several of his ribs break, then his entire body was sent flying backward.

As he flew, he glanced back at the training ground.

But he didn’t see what had happened to Shi Yong, Zhuang Ziqing, and other geniuses.

"I don’t even know how many have fallen before me..."

.....

When he groggily woke from his coma, Zhao Xing found himself in the Rich Spring Garden.

"Teacher."

"Hmm, you’re awake." Tian Shan stood by the bed. "You don’t have any major problems, just a few broken ribs. You can check your Five Elements internally."

"Teacher, what was my rank?" Zhao Xing didn’t rush to check himself; he was more concerned about his ranking.
