Chapter 251: Chapter 31: Brother Xia, would you say something? (Third Update)

Time came to the second day.

Zhao Xing planted a type of second-grade plant, mundane and in moderate quantity, about one thousand five hundred catties.

He secured the basic points, along with an additional five hundred catties for bonus points.

However, the score wasn’t high; to the Martial Artists, it was child’s play.

When Zhao Xing delivered it,

everyone sighed in relief.

"Fortunately, it’s just second-grade supplies, and non-toxic."

"This much, even the weakest Wang Meng could digest it alone."

Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

The five thousand catties of numbing fish fruit wasn’t finished yet, but Zhang Jie, Hu Bing, and Chen Fang had already fallen, one after another.

Those who had hallucinations experienced them, and those who needed to vomit, vomited.

In the end, only he continued to persist and eat.

"Rumble~ Rumble~"

As Zhao Xing came to deliver the goods, Xia Jing picked up two numbing fish fruits and put them in his mouth, a rumbling sound emanating from his belly, as loud as thunder.

At this moment, Xia Jing’s lips were purple, and his spirit was somewhat wilted, but he had not stopped even once.

The third layer of Gourmet Heaven and Earth was quite powerful.

It was just the dead fish taste that was a bit too much for him to handle.

He no longer dared to show off in front of Zhao Xing, let alone talk tough again.

Because he was somewhat nervous on the inside.

His scalp was still numb, so where would he dare to provoke Zhao Xing?

But he didn’t bow to Zhao Xing either.

When the others were pleading with Zhao Xing to have mercy and to change the flavor in the future, Xia Jing didn’t say a word.

Zhao Xing glanced at Xia Jing, not saying much.

After delivering the ordinary second-grade supplies, he quickly returned to the planting area.

[Fire Bright Green Gold]

[Quality: Fourth-rank Middle Grade]

[Status: Seedling Phase]

[Effect: Medium growth cycle, herbaceous, belongs to Gold and Fire Elements; its thorns can be removed for consumption; can replenish a large amount of vitality, defect: taste is pungent, tough to chew.]

[Overall Evaluation: Fourth-grade supplies.]

Fire Bright Green Gold, in appearance, was somewhat like a cactus.

The seedling looked like a ball of thorns, and Zhao Xing chose it considering the Earth Advantage.

Because although he had regulated the earth veins, the power of Fire and Gold elements in them was still slightly strong.

Strong was not necessarily a bad thing, because Fire Bright Green Gold was a derived species artificially cultivated by the Self Sect.

It was created to cope with complex environments.

It could absorb the power of Gold and Fire Elements to grow, so here, planting this fourth-grade plant was most appropriate.

Fire Bright Green Gold’s aboveground part, in Zhao Xing’s view, could be eaten after thorns were removed and peeled, but influenced by the Gold Element Power, it was somewhat tough to chew.

The roots growing underground weren’t hard, their only flaw was their spiciness.

Due to the concentration of a large amount of Fire Element Power, the spiciness was off the charts.

Zhao Xing had only eaten it once, but the impression was very deep.

In his past life, he had toughed it out once with this stuff in a sandy terrain on a mission, and the aftereffects lasted for a month without subsiding, walking with his buttocks piked, and from then on, he never ate it again.

"You want to be tough? Then I’ll give you something tough!"

Zhao Xing sneered, planting the seedling.

The fourth-grade Fire Bright Green Gold was equally resilient.

After it passed the seedling phase with [Barbaric Growth], he still didn’t switch to Wilderness Condensation Skill.

Why?

Because [Barbaric Growth] was a Strong Root Skill!

The root of Fire Bright Green Gold was where the most nutrients were absorbed, the part that could be eaten was also concentrated in the root.

Naturally, using Strong Root Skill throughout was most appropriate.

Condensation Skill here would not be as effective as [Barbaric Growth].

"Joint Segment Skill and Elemental Analysis Skill combined could have some synergy, but it’s a pity that I haven’t learned them, otherwise the effect could be even better." Zhao Xing felt a bit regretful.

Joint Segment Skill could concentrate the effect of Fire Bright Green Gold entirely in the roots, meaning, it would not grow the aboveground part.

Elemental Analysis Skill, on the other hand, could amplify any part of Fire Bright Green Gold. Compared to Joint Segment Skill, Elemental Analysis Skill was more useful, as Joint Segment Skill had limitations, you couldn’t take from the top if you wanted the bottom, you couldn’t just bend all the roots.

"It’s enough as it is, fourth-rank middle grade Fire Bright Green Gold should be enough for them to eat."

Zhao Xing watered it with a fine rain, waiting for the Fire Bright Green Gold to ripen.

.....

On the third day, Mao Hour.

The area where the Martial Artists were cultivating.

"The last one! I’ll eat it!"

Xia Jing closed his eyes, held his breath, and swallowed the last numbing fish fruit.

"Ha!"

He abruptly stood up, exhaling a deep breath.

"Roar!"

Then he stood on a large rock and howled up at the sky, with an Azure Dragon coiling around him.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

With his roar, the surrounding rocks shattered.

"Such impressive might."

"Xiahou’s Azure Dragon Transformation Technique is a renowned mastery, encompassing movement technique, attack, defense, and sonic techniques. Xia Jing seems to have deeply inherited his father’s legacy."

"Why is it called the Azure Dragon Martial Arts Institute? Xiahou is one of the founders, and he made a great contribution when Ten Suns Cave Heaven was seized from the Barbarians."

"Really powerful..."

The others all watched Xia Jing’s figure with envy or admiration.

Xia Jing’s roar lasted a long time, as if trying to expel the fishy odor completely.

It was as if he was declaring that, in the competition against Zhao Xing, he was the ultimate victor!

"Alright, Xia Jing, enough roaring." Liu Yongli said, "Come down and gather."

"Yes." Xia Jing seemed to regain a lot of spirit after that roar.

"Today there’s no instant-food training; we’re starting the next item." Liu Yongli said, "Still the same old rule, we’ll start with the extreme..."

"Commander Liu, hold on!"

Just then, a shout came from afar.

"Hm?" Liu Yongli turned to look, and in the distance, a green Gang Wind suddenly rose, spinning towards them.

"Zhao Xing?"

Xia Jing’s face changed.
