Chapter 268: Chapter 37: The Quirky Zhao Xing, Tier 3 Promotion Battle_3

"Defeat? Not even a draw! He’s now at Second Order Five Stars, and no one can even push him to a tie."

"Tsk, that’s really something, right? He hasn’t lost a single match up till now, while I’ve fought over a hundred matches and am still at First Order Five Stars."

"Previously, Zhuang Ziqing and Shi Yong also reached Third Order without a single defeat. It looks like Zhao Xing is also going to dominate all the way to Third Order."

"I wonder who is stronger in a real fight between him and Zhuang Ziqing, Shi Yong."

Outside Yunmen, in the public square area, many people occasionally come out to get some air and listen to Cen Sanji’s lectures.

At this time, Yu Chunwu, Peng Ran, Yang Yang, and He Yu were gathered together chatting.

Ever since they had teamed up at Ten Thousand Leich to fight against Li Feng, these four had become good friends.

"I’ve never encountered Shi Yong, so I can’t say, but I’ve faced Zhuang Ziqing once," Yu Chunwu said, "Zhuang Ziqing defeated me using just one spell, the thunder spell. I feel like Zhuang Ziqing’s strength is very formidable, at least comparable to Shi Yong’s."

"Not really, I’ve encountered Shi Yong, but never Zhuang Ziqing, and that too twice," Peng Ran said, "The first time Shi Yong fought me, I didn’t even understand what was happening before the dojo’s barrier declared I had lost."

"The second time, right when I entered, I asked Shi Yong to give me a chance to make the first move. Guess what?"

"I’m not guessing." He Yu deliberately said.

"Stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us." Yang Yang urged.

"He just stood there letting me cast spells, I used every spell I knew, yet I couldn’t even scratch him!" Peng Ran said.

"Hiss, is it that exaggerated?" Yu Chunwu said.

"Could it be that you..."

"It’s really not because I’m weak," Peng Ran expressed, "but because he’s too strong. Do you know how I finally lost?"

"I earnestly asked him to use his most powerful move on me and all Shi Yong did was lightly wave his hand, and suddenly scales grew on my hands, completely encasing them so I couldn’t cast any spells!"

"Then scales also grew over my chest, and the barrier judged that I had received a fatal injury, instantly transporting me out."

"Scales? Shi Yong’s Seasonal Order, has he mastered the Phenology Skill?" Yu Chunwu exclaimed, "That’s not just any change induced by phenology, it involves the Human Clan’s body structure, how powerful must his Phenology Skill be to achieve that!"

"That’s why I say, Zhuang Ziqing is no match for Shi Yong. As for Zhao Xing, I haven’t encountered him, so I don’t know what his situation is. From what I’ve seen, I think Shi Yong is stronger than Zhao Xing," Peng Ran said, "Has anyone here encountered Zhao Xing?"

"Yes." Yang Yang and He Yu spoke simultaneously, "I’ve faced him once."

"How was it?"

"It felt very strange," Yang Yang said.

He Yu looked at Yang Yang in surprise: "You felt it too?"

Yu Chunwu and Peng Ran immediately became interested: "What do you mean, what was strange? Did he also just use one move on you?"

Yang Yang shook his head: "Not exactly, quite the opposite actually. I fought with him for half an hour, and at first, I thought I had a chance to win, thinking our strengths were comparable, but as the fight progressed, something felt off."

"No matter what spell I used, he always seemed to outmatch me slightly, until almost the end of the fight, when the victor was decided."

He Yu nodded: "Yes, I felt the same, I’m still not sure if I lost by fluke, or if he was just toying with me."

Peng Ran laughed: "Don’t doubt yourselves, you were definitely toyed with. One person might be a fluke, but not both of you losing by fluke."

He Yu said, "I even asked him if he was toying with me, and he even complimented me on my strength."

Yang Yang said: "Same here, what do you think he’s up to?"

Yu Chunwu pondered and said: "Is it possible that Zhao Xing is using the Nine-Section Dojo as practice? Maybe he’s comprehending some powerful technique."

Peng Ran said: "Whatever it is, he’s about to reach Third Order, and I reckon that once he’s there, he’ll soon encounter Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing. As soon as they clash, many people will probably go to watch."

Yu Chunwu nodded: "Right, the Earth Mirror’s viewing feature will allow us to see their fight, a lot of people will be watching. Once they fight, news will surely come out... Who’s been following Zhao Xing?"

"I have." He Yu spoke up.

Yang Yang then took out the Earth Mirror: "Zhao Xing is fighting right now, it’s his fight for advancing to Third Order."

"Oh?" The rest looked over eagerly, "Who did he get matched with?"
