Chapter 379: Chapter 26: Over a month later, the merit rankings - has Zhao Xing gone mad? (6K)_3

Even just following Lv Yuanwei and getting a sip of the soup is really exhilarating.

"The exotic beast army mobilized by the Purple Dragon Royal Court includes the White Dragon Golden Claw Beast, the Earth-Walking Flood Dragon, the Iron-Backed Eagle Dragon..."

"The Holy Spirit Royal Court, on the other hand, deployed the Sixth Grade Ghost King, the Soul Soldiers, and the number of priests in the southwestern battle zone has surged. This is because the Holy Spirit Royal Court excels at controlling ghosts... Hmph, the Xuantian Sect, this goddamn plaster, is also mixed up in this."

Zhao Xing looked at the intelligence on the Holy Spirit Royal Court and sneered.

The royal courts of the Southern Desolate all have the backing of Outer Sect factions, and the main supporter of the Holy Spirit Royal Court is the Xuantian Sect.

"The intelligence on Flame Light Royal Court isn’t worth much, it’s mostly one-sided, and it’s defending barren lands. Attacking their troops is the least profitable and damn exhausting."

Every time Zhao Xing saw anything about the Flame Light Royal Court, he got furious, as in his previous life, during the Emperor Wu Period, he was assigned to attack the Flame Light Royal Court.

Back then, he had just resurrected for the Nth time from under Liu Tianning’s hand, through the foul earth reincarnation, hoping to earn some military merits in the Southern Desolate and get his official rank back.

He led his brothers into battle with great enthusiasm, only to be assigned to fight one of the twenty-five strong armies under the Flame Light Royal Court, the Babok Tribe.

The territory held by the Flame Light Royal Court was vast, with a harsh environment, and the troops of the Babok Tribe were really good at enduring hardship.

They also bred a special exotic beast – the Babok Worm.

Though called a worm, it was huge; each one was a kilometer long, and it had the innate ability to burrow into the ground.

The Babok Tribe’s troops essentially moved in tandem with this kind of exotic beast. They didn’t move through the sky or on the ground, but mostly traveled underground.

Fighting the Babok Tribe meant they’d burrow away as soon as you chased them, and if you stopped to camp, they’d launch surprise attacks from underground.

The Babok Earth Worm had thick skin and dense flesh that ordinary attacks could hardly harm.

Even if chopped in half, unbelievably, both ends of its body could still act independently and continue burrowing underground.

The Babok Tribe’s troops had strong combat abilities and a tenacious fighting spirit, with a rather unique style of warfare.

Since the land they occupied wasn’t of high value, the rewards from the Military Realm were rather meager.

Mr. Zhao tearfully fought them for nine years, and the Babok really made his life difficult. He even dreamed of Babok larvae whenever he lifted his quilt at night.

By the time that war was over, his brethren in the guild had risen through the ranks, reaping the benefits of Emperor Wu’s campaigns, while Mr. Zhao was, on average, a grade behind everyone else.

Zhao Xing planned to embezzle a few tens of millions elsewhere, but just as he reached out his hand, he got beheaded by Lao Liu again.

It pissed him off so much he couldn’t eat for months.

However, fighting the Babok Tribe had its benefits. It forced Mr. Zhao to practice the Earth Advantage Sect Magic to perfection, breaking through many of the level caps for the magic of the Earth Advantage Sect.

"Whoever fights the Flame Light Royal Court is an idiot," Zhao Xing still cursed spontaneously when he recalled the past.

After reviewing all the latest battle reports.

The Qinggang War Zone was placed as the primary location in his strategic planning.

The rest weren’t of much value. Currently, it was better to farm for military merits.

Still, Zhao Xing estimated that Lv Yuanwei would have to wait some days to fight the Fire Demon Clan.

He beheaded King Hall, offending the Golden Feather Royal Court greatly, and now they’ve dispatched a significant number of reinforcements there.

"Don’t know how long I’ll need to rest, but before new battle reports surface, it’s best to keep farming, and it’s also a good chance to refine my magical realm."

[Rain Drop] is a High Order Sixth Transition, and indeed Zhao Xing possesses high talent in the water element. Rain Dripping Skill is also his strongest spell after the peculiar killing moves like the Flying Snake Transformation.

[Thunderbolt Breaking Illusion Finger] is a High Order Fourth Transformation.

[Flying Snake Transformation] is a High Order Third Transition.

[Instant Thunderous Transformation], [Earth Evil Thunder], [Volcano Skill], and [Shadow of the Yin Wind], all of which he had started to comprehend in the Primordial Dojo, had reached High Order First Transition.

[Five Elements Mist Shadow] and [Instant Primordial] had progressed well thanks to his study of the Yin Yang Self Scripture reaching the second level threshold, already achieving a High-level Second Transition.

For an average Seventh Grade, having nine high-order spells would have gone to their head, but Zhao Xing always held himself to a very high standard.

If he wasn’t invincible, then he had to keep practicing!

.....

In the Seventh Grade Earth Evil Realm, the goal is to expand the depth of one’s spells. With nine high-order spells to his name, Zhao Xing had no plans to learn more, and instead, he turned to in-depth research on one particular spell.

Now that it was time to earn merits through farming, he chose to deeply study the [Instant Primordial] Elemental Analysis Skill.

Every day he was either farming or on his way to the fields.

Starting from June 25th, Zhao Xing began to step up his efforts!

Eleven hours were spent farming for merits and researching spells.

Half an hour for sleep, half an hour for handling official duties of the various departments.

This routine continued until July 1st when the Transportation Department arrived, and it was only then that Zhao Xing took an hour off to deal with it.

But as soon as the ships of the Transportation Department left, he immediately flew back to the fields to keep busy.

"He’s starting again."

Han Bing and Wang Ji stood at a distance, watching Zhao Xing buzzing around the fields like a diligent little bee.

"It was like this in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, and it’s still like this here."

"Have you ever seen him sleep?" Wang Ji asked.

"Never," Han Bing shook her head, "No matter when I go to report to him, he’s always awake."

"There really are such prodigies in the world," Wang Ji said, "I had military doctors give me revival acupuncture, and at most I could only last five days; after five days, I must sleep. And when I do, it’s for twelve hours straight."

"Did you actually try that?" Han Bing asked in surprise, "Even if you admire him, you shouldn’t emulate his recklessness."

"Indeed, I can’t do it," Wang Ji shook his head.

Zhao Xing has the [Sleeping Bug] spell, the top-notch technique "Great Dream Spring and Autumn," and Soul Armor for protection, making it impossible for Wang Ji to replicate his approach.
