Chapter 266: Chapter 37: The Eccentric Zhao Xing, Third Order Advancement Battle

Li Feng had barely set foot on the ground when he noticed something was amiss, because when he had taken off, there had been no frost on the ground, but after finishing his conversation with Zhao Xing, a layer of frost had formed.

It was obvious that Zhao Xing had cast a spell while they were talking.

This fellow was just talking to buy time!

"Despicable!" Li Feng stomped his foot, shattering the frost on the ground, and quickly deployed the Geographical Advantage Skill, sensing something was off.

"Xuantu divide gold, arise!"

The ground swelled suddenly, and three meters in front of Li Feng, nine mounds of earth burst forth as if the soil was a spring gushing forth; then nine rock giants emerged from the earth.

Each giant was roughly three meters tall, their bodies made up of blocks of golden stone, with sand still slipping off them continuously.

"Zhao Xing, if you’ve got the guts then take on my Xuantu Skill, what’s with all the hiding and sneaking around!"

Having said this, Li Feng perked up his ears to listen.

"Come."

The voice emanated from within the fog.

Li Feng twirled his index finger, and the nine rock giants charged into the mist to search for Zhao Xing’s whereabouts.

Within the mist, a pair of eyes watched the rock giants below and the invading tiger beast.

"Li Feng’s cultivation direction, why does it resemble that of a summoner? The spells he learns are all of the outnumbering type."

"Last time it was the same with the Cloud Law."

Outnumbering the enemy, Zhao Xing had done this before as well with the Grassman Skill.

Grassman falls under the broader category of ’Grass and Trees are Soldiers Skill’, but according to the Five Elements, it is a Wood Law.

Zhao Xing is also skilled in Wood Law. Xue Wenzhong had once taught Zhao Xing Liu’s Technique of Weaving, and of the eighty-one types of Grassmen, Zhao Xing had mastered seven, while the remaining seventy-four, he had committed to memory, just not practiced.

The reason being that the Grassman Training Method requires precision, and the difficulty increases significantly for the latter seventy-four methods, taking up too much time. Upon entering Ten Suns Cave Heaven, who would have the leisure to practice the Grassman Training Method?

"Without breaking my Heavenly Time Technique, even if Li Feng’s earth and wood spells are stronger, he can only passively take hits."

"Hiding within the fog, I am already on invincible ground," Zhao Xing watched the futile rage of the giants and tiger beast below.

The Fog Concealment Technique is a specific spell for hiding.

Whether it is the observance of the Five Elements or the Bright Eyes Technique, all would be rendered ineffective, impossible to see through.

This spell is a tremendous help during battles.

It can hinder the movement of enemy troops and disrupt the command of their leaders.

In retreat, it can prevent enemy pursuit; a dense fog is the perfect cover during a retreat.

The current environment is not complicated, but if it were, combined with the Fog Concealment Technique, an army might even experience friendly fire in the mist, accidentally attacking their own.

"The difference between the Fog Concealment and the Swallowing Cloud Skill lies in that the Cloud Law is used to gain air supremacy, supporting other spells. Li Feng dares not to rely on clouds, knowing that it’s useless, and would waste vital energy, or even backfire on him."

"But without relying on clouds, his Heavenly Time Technique is crippled by half."

"Fog Concealment is about trapping and obstructing the enemy, it doesn’t bolster other spells much, but it’s strong on its own."

Anxious at not finding Zhao Xing, Li Feng once again used his Xuantu Magic.

But its power was much less than before.

Because the layer of frost that coated the ground had seeped into the earth.

It acted as a barrier, reducing the effectiveness of his spellcasting using Earth Vein Power; the second batch of golden stone giants was shorter than the first.

"Zhao Xing, are you even battling? You’re just stalling for time! Your Gang Wind Skill can’t touch me, are you aiming for a draw?!" Li Feng felt very frustrated.

But Zhao Xing ignored him, merely watching the giants and tiger beast in the mist.

"Under the erosion of the fog, both the rock giants and the tiger beast are gradually weakening. The concept of Heavenly Time is about accumulating environmental forces; it might seem insignificant in one place, but as my fog spreads, accumulating bit by bit, it becomes a natural disaster."

"Stronger than any single spell, it is no longer something that can be resisted by individual spells."

Zhao Xing felt insights into the changes of Li Feng’s spells within the fog, gaining some enlightenment.

The mist gradually turned a dark red, as it absorbed pollen from the sea of flowers and incorporated it into the fog.

Cumulating the forces of heaven and earth, this was the direction of understanding conferred by the Seasonal Order.

"The erosive strength has increased." Zhao Xing returned his focus to the spell itself, watching the weakening tiger beast and golden stone giants.

Both [Heavenly Frost] and [Fog Concealment] were comprehended from the Jieqi Stele, containing the characteristics of a certain season.

Upon comprehension, they were at the Seventh Level.

Zhao Xing was now using spells to reverse-engineer and comprehend the Seasonal Diagram.

Li Feng’s Xuantu Magic could interfere with both techniques, but conversely, both [Fog Concealment] and [Heavenly Frost] were eroding Li Feng’s spells.

Cross-validating each other, Zhao Xing felt the two Jieqi Order shadows within his Dantian solidify by a third.

Li Feng kept yelling from below, and anyone unaware would think he had endured a great injustice.

"A draw? You wish for too much."

Zhao Xing’s figure appeared, staring down at Li Feng.

"Do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? If not, then we can end this."

"Go!" Li Feng saw Zhao Xing emerge and immediately cast a spell to control the giants and tiger beast to pounce toward Zhao Xing. This time he wouldn’t be fooled into babbling nonsense with Zhao Xing again.

First, the ground was frosted, and then the fog turned pink; Li Feng didn’t dare delay talking with Zhao Xing any further.

"It seems you’re really out of options. Well, that makes sense. To comprehend a fusion of three techniques must have cost you a lot of time, and you also possess two Ninth Level spells."

"Roar!"

Zhao Xing unleashed the Kui Niu Thunder Roar without hesitation.

Faint ripples twisted in the air, rapidly spreading out.

Upon seeing this, Li Feng quickly cast a spell to circulate the air around him outward, reducing the power of the thunder roar.
