Chapter 287: Chapter 46: Five Elements Particles, Grassman Nine Revolutions_2

Very quickly, he found a patch of rapidly growing and then decaying Firecracker Forest.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The Firecracker Forest was practically a minefield, as the rapid growth and decay naturally led to explosions. Although a single explosion wasn’t very powerful, the sheer number of them created a terrifying effect.

The entire sky was tinted red. However, the Firecracker Forest was also shrouded by a magic array barrier. Zhao Xing found a suitable spot to begin comprehending the Fire Element Power under different circumstances.

....

Four hours later, Zhao Xing moved to another location, heading towards another planting area in the Primordial Dojo.

There was a ’Fire Stone Vine’ growth area where the ground was covered in intertwining red and green Fire Stone Vines.

Here, Zhao Xing gathered materials to craft the Suicide Explosive Grassman, constantly comparing the power of each formed Grassman.

Two hours later, he flew to another location.

.....

[You have woven a ’Suicide Explosive Grassman,’ progress in the Grassman Skill +200]

[You have woven a ’Suicide Explosive Grassman,’ progress in the Grassman Skill +300]

[You have woven...]

As time passed, Zhao Xing’s progress in the Grassman Skill soared rapidly.

The plants in the Primordial Dojo were incredibly abundant and diverse, far beyond imagination. Here, Zhao Xing could find any type of plant he had read about in books. Each element had several varieties at the Sixth Rank!

The Primordial Dojo conducted unique evolutions, encompassing plants below the Seventh Rank of each element.

Of course, to ensure the perfect operation of the magic array in the Primordial Dojo, everything here could not be taken out.

The Grassmen crafted with materials obtained here would explode within an hour and then be shredded by a force, turning into the purest Five Elements Power, returning to the original location in the dojo. Similarly, consuming the fruits in the Primordial Dojo was forbidden. If consumed, the power would be extracted and returned as well.

This was a place for comprehension only.

Even so, the benefits brought by the Primordial Dojo were immense!

It could be said that this place was a treasure trove with endless materials of various kinds, allowing Zhao Xing to practice the Grassman Skill to his heart’s content.

Moreover, continually observing the rapid growth and decay of the plants, even without dissecting the essence, naturally deepened his understanding and application of the Five Elements.

Even a mediocre student entering the Primordial Dojo, constantly being exposed to the evolution of plants like a "natural teacher" demonstrating magic in front of them all the time, would inevitably gain some insights.

Twelve hours later, the Suicide Explosive Grassman Skill reached the Seventh Transition Level.

Twenty-four hours later, the Suicide Explosive Grassman Skill broke through to the Ninth Transition Level.

"It truly is a treasure trove of the Taicang Institute." Zhao Xing sat cross-legged on a giant rock, looking at the dark red Grassman in front of him. On the surface, it appeared ordinary but inside it was condensed with terrifying Fire Element Power, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

"Comprehending in the treasure trove, with endless materials for practice, adjusting my cultivation direction with the panel’s assistance, in just twenty-four hours, I advanced from the Fourth Transition to the Ninth Transition!" Zhao Xing felt quite exhilarated.

"I’ll sleep for an hour first, then continue to practice the ’Divine Courage’ Grassman Skill after an hour."

Zhao Xing lay down and quickly fell into a gentle sleep.

...

Time flew by, and soon it was Mao Hour on July 30.

By now, it was already the seventh morning since Zhao Xing had come to the Primordial Dojo for comprehension.

"It’s time to leave. In these seven days, not only did I make great progress in the Grassman Skill, but the Condensation Skill also improved from the Seventh to the Ninth Transition."

Zhao Xing flew to a cobalt blue vortex, which was the exit of the Primordial Dojo.

"If I don’t leave now, I’ll starve to death here."

No items could be brought into or taken out of the Primordial Dojo, and consuming anything within was forbidden. Thus, Zhao Xing had neither drunk a drop of water nor eaten a grain of rice during his stay here.

"Swish~"

He flew out of the Primordial Dojo and reappeared inside the Taicang Institute.

Zhao Xing immediately ran to the dining hall to gorge on food and drink.

After satisfying his hunger, he flew towards the Ten Thousand Skill Palace.

....

Several people flew towards the Ten Thousand Skill Palace.

Because once it struck midnight, the fourth test would begin.

The Ministers of Agriculture who had been comprehending in various places of the Taicang Institute would all gather back.

Of course, most people comprehended directly within the Ten Thousand Skill Palace, as only top-tier geniuses had free access to the treasure trove for comprehension.

Others wishing to comprehend there? They had to accumulate points. For example, for a lower-tier genius, even if they saved up all the points issued monthly without spending a single one, it would take them over half a year.

"Hoo~"

The cloud mist dispersed as Zhao Xing’s Stepping Cloud Boots touched the ground, and he landed back in the Demonstration Square.

"Zhao Xing, over here." Cao Shuang waved, surrounded by a few people, mostly geniuses from the Geography Institute. "I heard you went to the Primordial Dojo for comprehension. How did it go?"

"Not bad," Zhao Xing said with a smile.

Indeed, it was not bad at all. The Divine Courage, Giant Shield, and Suicide Explosive Grassman skills had all reached the Ninth Transition, while the Illusion and Invisibility skills had also broken through to the Seventh Transition. Purely practicing the Grassman Skill, even the Wilderness Condensation had seen some breakthroughs.

The comprehension value of the treasure trove had tangible effects for Zhao Xing, surpassing that of other top-tier geniuses.

"Which Grassman Skill of yours reached the Seventh Transition?" Zhuang Ziqing asked.

"Only the Illusion and Invisibility Skills reached the Seventh Transition," Zhao Xing replied. The Suicide Explosive, Divine Courage, and Giant Shield Skills had all reached the Ninth Transition.

"It’s all about how well they are used," said Han Bing coldly. "Listening to this makes me want to punch someone."

The mid-level Grassman Skills were rarely circulated within the previous army, except for Liu Tianning.

It was clear that Zhao Xing had not reached the Seventh Transition before but had recently achieved such success.

"Your talent in the Grassman Skill is unexpectedly high," Zhuang Ziqing couldn’t help but say. "I barely slept over the past seven days to get one Grassman Skill to the Seventh Transition."

"I didn’t sleep much in the Primordial Dojo either."

"Would you all stop being so diligent?" said a dark-skinned, robust young man. "Especially you, Zhao Xing, you’ve really made things tough for me."

Zhao Xing looked puzzled at the man who spoke, Cai Jin. He was a student of Lu Bang, but they were no more than acquaintances. How had Zhao Xing made things tough for him?

"Brother Cai, what do you mean?"

"Yes, Brother Cai, why do you say that?" Cao Shuang and Zhuang Ziqing also looked puzzled.

Cai Jin looked at Zhao Xing. "My teacher made me use you as a benchmark and ordered me to rigorously train for eleven hours every day."

"Well..." Zhao Xing had no words.

"Why not just ignore him?" suggested Cao Shuang. "Can Lu Bang really monitor you for twenty-four hours?"

Cai Jin pulled out a lightning bolt-shaped jade pendant from around his neck. "You think I don’t want to slack off? Look at this! My teacher customized this alertness pendant for me!"

"I’m only allowed to sleep for an hour at noon. If I fall asleep at any other time, the pendant releases a bolt of lighting, electrifying my entire body!"

Cai Jin looked agitated. "And I can’t take it off. If I try, it zaps me instantly!"

"I used to have a pretty relaxed time at the Taicang Institute, getting six hours of sleep a day."

"But ever since Mr. Zhao took second place, my teacher rewarded me with this pendant."

"Do you know what these past days have been like for me?"

"Hiss..." Hearing Cai Jin’s words, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Lu Bang was forcing someone to "hang oneself by the beam," like in the ancient method of self-discipline.

How ruthless!

Zhuang Ziqing claimed he only slept for an hour a day, but in reality, his rest time exceeded this amount.

When exhausted, he could rest. He thought he was already suffering enough.

Little did he know, Cai Jin had it even worse.

"My condolences, Brother Cai." Zhuang Ziqing patted Cai Jin on the shoulder.

"Hang in there, Brother Cai. It will pass," Zhao Xing said, cupping his hands in sympathy.

"No wonder Brother Cai always looks numb. So that’s why. Lu Bang is really something," Cao Shuang remarked. "Maybe Zhao Xing should go hang out with Old Man Lu for a few days. Perhaps it would ease things for you."

"Is this how you comfort people?" Cai Jin gritted his teeth. "And look at you lot, you can’t even hide your smirks."

"Ha ha ha ha!" Zhao Xing, Cao Shuang, Zhuang Ziqing, and the others burst into laughter.

Just as everyone was laughing, a figure suddenly flew out from the main hall of the Ten Thousand Skill Palace.

"Midnight has come. The fourth test begins!"
