Chapter 274: Chapter 40: Myriad Threads Flow and Dripping Water Domain

"Feng Qiu was actually defeated?!"

"His Wind Skill is so powerful, but he still lost to Zhao Xing."

"I didn’t even understand it. Feng Qiu charged back and forth in the canyon, then boom, the Gang Wind exploded, and he was gone."

"Feng Qiu’s Wind Skill is indeed remarkable, but Zhao Xing’s spell combination is even more mysterious. I only saw Zhao Xing’s figure at the end. His Cloud Skill is just too strong."

"Feng Qiu’s winning streak has been ended. The so-called number one in Wind Skill, Feng Qiu, was defeated by Zhao Xing. Doesn’t that mean Zhao Xing is the top of the Reserve Soldier in Cloud Skill?"

"Zhuang Ziqing is said to be invincible in Thunder Skill, Feng Qiu in Wind Skill, and Zhao Xing in Cloud Skill!"

"If I rode on Feng Qiu, held Zhao Xing in my left hand, and lifted Zhuang Ziqing in my right, who among the Reserve Soldiers could be my match? Even Shi Yong would have to face defeat!"

"I heard that the Xuantu Escape Skill of the Geography Institute’s Cao Shuang is amazing. Why don’t you ride him too? That way, no one could stop you, whether in heaven or earth."

"Hahahaha."

...

On the plaza outside Yunmen, Peng Ran, Yu Chunwu, He Yu, and Yang Yang watched intently through the Earth Mirror. When Feng Qiu lost.

Yang Yang was so excited that he slapped his thigh, "Zhao Xing really won! Even someone as strong as Feng Qiu was defeated by him!"

He Yu sighed, "I now understand that when Zhao Xing fought me before, he wasn’t even using his full strength, he was just practicing on me. No wonder I felt like every spell he used only slightly outdid mine."

Yu Chunwu also sighed deeply, "When I first saw him, he was sneakily using Yin Wind, and he couldn’t even beat Li Feng. But just over three months later, he managed to defeat Feng Qiu."

"Good thing we didn’t go looking for trouble with him." Peng Ran chuckled, "Otherwise, even the four of us together wouldn’t be enough to beat him."

"That’s right, Li Feng ended up in a miserable state." The other three laughed as well.

Back when Zhao Xing tricked them upon their arrival, they realized later that Zhao Xing was behind it and had thought about teaching him a lesson.

However, they didn’t run into Zhao Xing afterward, as they didn’t know him back then.

By the time they realized it was Zhao Xing, it was already during the branch trials.

When Zhao Xing used the Swallowing Cloud, no one could contend with him. His dominance in Cloud Skill was astounding.

Later, the gap only widened, and they completely gave up any thoughts of causing trouble.

"After this battle, Zhao Xing’s combat ability is beyond doubt. I think only Shi Yong can surpass him, and even Zhuang Ziqing might not be able to."

.....

Zhuang Ziqing couldn’t sleep at all at this moment.

When he saw Feng Qiu use the ’Wind Devourer’ move, he thought Zhao Xing was doomed.

After all, the move was so powerful, it instantly drained all the Primordial Energy, causing the Nine Swords and Four Mysterious Skills to reach their limits, comparable to the power of high-order magic.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Xing still withstood it.

"He comprehended it." Battle intent flickered in Zhuang Ziqing’s eyes, "He must have a Seasonal Order that brought his realm to the Fourth Transition of Knowledge Realm, that’s why he could withstand it."

Recalling the final moment of Feng Qiu and Zhao Xing’s battle, an image of that drop of rain appeared in Zhuang Ziqing’s mind.

"It was that rain drop, its power at least reached ten turns, and his breakthrough is different from Feng Qiu’s."

"Feng Qiu’s Wind Skill reached eleven turns entirely due to his mastery over the Wind Walk, supporting this extreme control with more Primordial Energy, constantly absorbing the Gang Wind. From the moment he entered the Wind and Thunder Canyon, he had been gathering the Gang Wind, releasing it in a single burst, making the spell reach eleven turns."

"After casting that move, his Primordial Energy was depleted. But Zhao Xing’s rain drop quickly condensed a second time, obviously consuming much less Primordial Energy." Zhuang Ziqing quickly identified the difference between the two.

"He comprehended a high-order magic that might not have reached eleven turns in power, but in essence, Zhao Xing’s understanding of the Dao already surpassed Feng Qiu’s. That’s why he could easily cast it a second time."

Understanding the key point, Zhuang Ziqing’s eyes shone with excitement, "To the dojo! I want to test the power of his rain drop."

Zhuang Ziqing stopped sleeping, immediately stepping on the clouds and flying towards the dojo.

.....

In the common activity area of the Military Department.

At this moment, Fu Ying was in a really bad mood.

When he saw the battle result, Fu Ying nearly threw away the Earth Mirror.

How could Feng Qiu lose?

With this loss, I’m going to go bankrupt!

Out of seventy thousand points, others contributed twenty thousand points. Due to the large number of people involved, everyone’s loss wasn’t too great.

But Fu Ying was to lose fifty thousand points!

He originally wanted to take Xia Jing for a ride, but ended up losing big.

"Fu Ying."

Xia Jing put away the Earth Mirror, smiling as he approached Fu Ying, "Don’t be discouraged, you just lost fifty thousand points. It’s a drop in the bucket for you."

"..."

Fu Ying ground his teeth in anger.

Easy for you to say, these fifty thousand points would take him three months of hard work completing tasks to earn back.

But he couldn’t lose his composure. Calling Feng Qiu, Xia Jing, and Zhao Xing every name under the sun in his mind, he outwardly smiled, "Of course, it’s just fifty thousand points. A bet is a bet! I’ll transfer it to you now."

Fu Ying flamboyantly pulled out the Earth Mirror, acting as if he didn’t care at all.

But Xia Jing noticed Fu Ying’s hand shake slightly when he transferred the points, and a moment of reluctance when he made the transfer.

Broke but still pretending... Xia Jing’s mouth curled slightly.

"All done." Fu Ying put away the Earth Mirror and looked at Xia Jing, "I’ve transferred the points to you."

"Generous, I thank you on behalf of the brothers." Xia Jing grinned.

"Why do you need to thank him? We’re right here." Chen Fang stepped in, "Thanks a lot, Brother Fu."
