Chapter 407: Chapter 35: Weaver Weaves Vestment Robe, Climbing Flame Mountain at Night (5K)

Hearing the number five hundred, Jin Ming was instantly stunned.

He looked at Xia Jing in disbelief, "Your Highness, are you joking?"

Xia Jing replied lightly, "As the General of the Dragon Rider Camp, I never joke in the army."

Jin Ming’s breath caught, and both Dong He and Zhao Xing immediately started working.

Even Zhao Xing’s setup was slightly inferior to this side.

But Zhao Xing had already cultivated five hundred plants!

It was simply unbelievable!

Could it be that the reason he refused the external aids was not to give way, but because he feared that Mr. Dong was too slow?

This meant that he wasn’t afraid of the Xuanjia Army taking credit; he feared their inefficiency would slow down the progress!

Thinking of this, Jin Ming’s face burned with embarrassment.

They had judged a gentleman’s heart with a petty mind!

"Your Highness..."

"Call me General!" Xia Jing interrupted Jin Ming directly, his expression stern, "There is no princely heir in the army; don’t make that mistake again."

Jin Ming’s heart jolted, and he immediately corrected himself, "General, may I request permission to observe, perhaps learning their methods to improve the planting efficiency for our three forces?"

Xia Jing knew that Jin Ming still had some doubts, but he did not expose them and nodded slightly, "Go ahead, and it would be best to bring the commanders of the Minister of Agriculture Camp with you for observation."

"Take a good look at how they do it."

"Yes, General."

....

Jin Ming flew with his men from the north of the volcano to the south to observe.

When Chen Shijie saw the allied forces approaching, he smiled and shook his head.

He knew Xia Jing’s intention of using Zhao Xing to strike against his group of arrogant soldiers.

Zhao Xing had just planted a batch, and he quickly wanted to go back and compare the situation.

From the hasty arrival of Jin Ming and his men, Chen Shijie knew the gap in numbers must be significant.

He was just unsure of the effectiveness of Xia Jing’s strategy.

...

Upon arrival, Zhao Xing worked even harder.

A good brother wouldn’t let Xia Jing lose face in front of others.

Immediately, Zhao Xing operated the array at full capacity, almost overwhelming Wang Ji.

But the results were evident.

Jin Ming watched Xia Jing’s one hundred Fourth-order Earth Fire Lotuses grow to Fifth-order within two hours in astonishment.

"What technique is this, how is it so powerful?"

"Strong Foundation Skill? But how can the high-level Strong Foundation Skill be so effortless?"

"No, if it were the high-level Strong Foundation Skill, this Mechanical School Formation couldn’t withstand it!"

"Condensation Skill? Bending Skill? It doesn’t seem like it."

"Elemental Analysis Skill, the hardest of the Four Methods of Self, high-level Elemental Analysis Skill!"

"Two hours, simply terrifying; what level is his realm?"

"High Order technique, entering the house, Zhao Xing is really a Seventh-rank Minister of Agriculture? It’s terrifying."

The Minister of Agriculture of Xuanjia Army was completely overwhelmed.

Zhao Xing, to help Xia Jing show off, fully maximized his spell effects.

Originally his [Instant Primordial] was High Order Sixth Transition, but with the array set up by Wang Ji and the assistance of five hundred Ministers of Agriculture, it was comparable to Seventh Transition or higher.

Although the difference seemed small, it was the difference between minor success and entering the house in spells.

Thus, Jin Ming and others were all in shock.

Compared to Zhao Xing, Dong He was much slower.

He couldn’t be as effortless as Zhao Xing, who waved his hands in the air, looking elegant and handsome.

Dong had to dive into the magma to enhance the Earth Fire Lotus, sweating hard.

An unwilling Jin Ming made another round around the perimeter.

He even checked the materials of the array.

Trying to find traces of powerful external aids used by Zhao Xing.

The results made him even more depressed.

No, everything was of intermediate quality, the array, materials, personnel... all inferior to Dong He’s setup, overall lacking.

Jin Ming left dejectedly with the Ministers of Agriculture of the Xuanjia Army.

Returning to the north of the volcano, seeing Xia Jing again.

Jin Ming and his men no longer dared to act arrogant in front of Xia Jing.

They were called to assist Xia Jing, proud of their skill in cultivating treasures.

Now they were outdone by the small Divine Might Army; how could they maintain their pride?

To be honest, if Zhao Xing were transferred to the Xuanjia Army, they could be replaced directly.

Given Xia Jing’s relationship with Zhao Xing, it’s not impossible.

"So, what did you learn?" Xia Jing asked.

"The world is vast, there are always people better than us." Jin Ming shook his head, "We will no longer underestimate the heroes of the world."

"In the future, please guide us more often."

"With such a desire for improvement, your spell realms will surely advance." Xia Jing smiled, "Do not lose heart over this temporary setback. For now, go prepare to transplant Mr. Dong’s Fifth-order Earth Fire Lotus."

"At your command." Jin Ming led his men to the task.

Originally, Xia Jing couldn’t command them; everyone under Jin Ming only listened to Dong He and not Xia Jing.

They had previously called Xia Jing a princely heir instead of a general, not respecting the young man who quickly rose to the position of camp general.

They believed he relied on the title of Heir Xiahou.

Now that Xia Jing didn’t mock them, it showed his magnanimity.

Conversely, he even encouraged them.

A person’s behavior and temperament determine their heights.

At this moment, Jin Ming and his men put aside their prejudices and seriously reviewed Xia Jing’s achievements since joining the army. In terms of personal ability, temperament, intelligence, family background, and connections, Xia Jing was outstanding, fully qualified for the camp general position.

From this moment on, they finally accepted this young Dragon Rider Camp General.
