Chapter 282: Chapter 44: Invisibility, Soul Binding, Explosive Sacrifice, Protector, New Four Grassman Magic

"The Grassman Skill is truly ingenious, I never thought it could be this exquisite... Why did my belt just fall off?" Cao Shuang was contemplating the gray Grassman before him, only to find his belt had suddenly come undone.

"Who, who the hell is casting a spell?!"

The people around covered their mouths, laughing, as Zhao Xing walked over with a grin and snapped his fingers to reveal the Invisibility Grassman.

"Brother Cao, we’re all men here, are you really afraid of being seen?"

"It’s you?" Seeing it was Zhao Xing, Cao Shuang didn’t get angry. Instead, he laughed as he tied up his belt. "My dear brother, I’m not a woman. Why’d you untie my belt? Just so you know, I’m not into guys."

Zhao Xing laughed, "Your alertness is terrible. If the Invisibility Grassman had scissors, you’d lose your precious lifeline and be left with just a surname."

Cao Shuang patted his crotch and laughed heartily, "Ha, not only is my equipment big and performs well, it’s also very tough. You’d need at least a Fifth Rank pair of scissors for that."

Zhao Xing grinned, "Your sister-in-law is going to have a hard time then, hahaha."

"Hahaha."

The two laughed and walked to the side.

The quickest way for men to build friendship is through two means: fighting side by side, or going places together to fight side by side.

Ever since he became "untrainable," Zhao Xing had ignited the fighting spirit among the Ministers of Agriculture, and within a month, he had become quite popular.

He got along well with Cao Shuang, Jiang Tianming, Zhuang Ziqing, and others.

"Brother, I didn’t expect you to have such a knack for the Grassman Skill."

Cao Shuang looked full of devilish charm, making it hard not to misinterpret his words.

"Can you not look so lascivious when you say that? Whenever you mention the Grassman Skill, it sounds weird." Zhao Xing laughed. "The military is strict; don’t do anything inappropriate with the Grassman Skills."

"With my build and looks, I don’t need those methods." Cao Shuang patted his chest. "I could stand at the entrance of the Yang City Weaving Bureau and girls would toss me handkerchiefs."

Zhao Xing gave a thumbs-up, thinking Cao Shuang might be unrivaled in self-confidence above all else.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. How are your insights coming along?" Cao Shuang asked.

"I mastered one, the Invisibility Grassman. When I saw you, I came over to say hello." Zhao Xing responded, "How about you? How many spells have you learned?"

"There are only mid-level Grassmen on the square, what more could I learn?" Cao Shuang said. "I’ve been here for half a day and learned only one spell, it’s for the Suicide Explosive Grassman."

"Oh?" Zhao Xing raised an eyebrow. "Where is it, let me see."

"Over there." Cao Shuang said, "Come on, I’ll show you."

Cao Shuang led Zhao Xing to the south side of the square, where there was a bamboo forest. The leaves were green, but the bamboo stalks were dark red.

There were also many dark red bamboo strips that had been cut open lying nearby.

"A Firecracker Forest? And they’re all Third or Fourth Rank." Zhao Xing was a bit surprised.

"Yeah, I was shocked when I first came here too. This huge Firecracker Forest and piles of firecrackers. Aren’t they afraid they’ll blow someone up?" Cao Shuang said. "I sat here contemplating, scared out of my wits."

"Don’t worry." Zhao Xing pointed to a few uniquely shaped stone pillars and exotic beast statues beside the Firecracker Forest. "The Xuanwu Locking Array is stacked four layers deep. Even if you blow up this forest, it won’t explode."

"Oh? I didn’t realize you also studied arrays."

Zhao Xing said, "Brother Cao, I’m also quite fascinated by this Grassman Skill. I’ll be contemplating here. Care to join?"

Cao Shuang waved his hand, "I’ll pass. I’m off to practice the Suicide Explosive Grassman. Head a thousand meters south, then turn left. There’s another courtyard with Grassmen exploding constantly. I’ll be there practicing while watching. You can come find me once you’ve mastered it."

"Alright." Zhao Xing nodded.

He watched Cao Shuang leave, then began contemplating the processes for casting the Suicide Explosive Grassman.

The Suicide Explosive Grassman was a specialized spell.

Among mid-level spells, it consumed a lot of materials.

It usually required firecrackers as materials.

Certain plants with explosive properties could also be used as raw materials.

If these materials weren’t used, its power would be greatly reduced.

"The Suicide Explosive Grassman locks in the Five Elements Power, mainly focusing on fire and lightning."

"Materials like firecrackers provide abundant Fire Element Power, and their internal circulation constantly compresses air."

"When the tough bamboo joints explode, thousands of fragments scatter, shredding people like sieves."

Zhao Xing had vivid memories of using firecrackers when he killed Wu Mei of the Xuantian Sect. They were instrumental.

The Suicide Explosive Grassman was more practical than regular firecrackers. Firecrackers needed to be buried to be effective, and tossing them didn’t yield much result.

They were easy to dodge and could hurt the user.

By leveraging the mobility of the Suicide Explosive Grassman, the effect of firecrackers could be fully utilized.

Of course, it wasn’t just firecrackers. Many other plants could be used, and Zhao Xing was no longer in Gucheng, allowing him to access many exotic plants.

The Suicide Explosive Grassman had been developed into many variations by Minister of Agriculture players in his past life.

For example, the Poison Bomb Grassman was a variant of the Suicide Explosive Grassman.

Some even added feces and urine to the Suicide Explosive Grassman.

"Dip the Grassman in feces, and anyone who touches it dies, or at least gets disgusted to death." Zhao Xing’s mouth curved into a smile as he recalled the various uses of this spell.

...

[You observed the casting process of the Grassman. You’ve comprehended the mid-level spell "Suicide Explosive Grassman."]

[Suicide Explosive Grassman: 1/9999]

[Effect: Utilize plant traits to trigger an explosion of Five Elements Power]

"Zhao Xing, practice the Suicide Explosive Grassman elsewhere."

Just as Zhao Xing was about to try it out, a Grassman with the name "Liu" carved on it suddenly spoke by the bamboo forest.
