Chapter 556: Chapter 71: Qi Fortune Breakthrough, Evolution 5! Zhao Xing’s New Investment! (8K) _2

Lingde King couldn’t help but marvel, he was merely a Commandery Prince with a strength of just above standard fourth-rank. With the court’s aid, he barely crossed the third-rank threshold and could achieve soul wandering the void.

But strictly speaking on capabilities, Lingde King vaguely felt he couldn’t suppress Liu Tianning.

"All of his strength?" The Luo Hou King smiled, "You underestimate him."

"He has been self-confined in the Military Realm for ninety years, specializing in the Grassman Skill. His proficiency has surpassed his ancestor’s."

"With less than ten thousand clones, how could he be called Liu Wanfa?"

"What?" Lingde King was startled, "More than ten thousand spells?"

Just with ten thousand Skill Avatars alone, Liu Tianning could cultivate Pure Essence Soil and hadn’t even released the plant species yet. How powerful could that be?

"As expected, Luo Hou, your insight is indeed keen," King Heavenly Destiny praised, "Back then, if it weren’t for your guarantee, this seedling of Liu’s might have been destroyed."

"Hmph, those old stubborn fools? Emperor Wen was too kind to them!" Luo Hou snorted.

"Old stories, best left untold. Even Liu Tianning has let it go." Seeing that Luo Hou seemed inclined to critique the court, King Heavenly Destiny quickly changed the subject. "Now, he took on a good disciple. This disciple of his is much more adaptable."

"Indeed," the Luo Hou King smiled, "laying low at Fire Dragon Pass, crossing Flame Mountain... Liu Tianning in his twenties couldn’t have done that."

"He was too impetuous, and would just charge into the bandit’s lair and kill them all."

"Killing them all, isn’t that another form of laying low?" Lingde King said humorously.

"Hahahahahaha." Both King Heavenly Destiny and Luo Hou King laughed.

"Although his power is rising quickly now, it’s solid as well." King Heavenly Destiny waved his hand, and the scene on the Earth Mirror was rewound back to when Zhao Xing was first pursued.

"Look, from ten miles away, he spotted Qin Chongwu and Huang Fusong. Both were wearing Invisibility Robes."

"Indeed," Lingde King nodded, "he seemed to be in cultivation; otherwise, he would have discovered it even earlier."

"Then, the Magic Domain and Transformation Techniques drastically reduced their speed. If not for the high-speed movement of those two floating dragon boats, they would have caught up to him."

"This kid has quite a few tricks." The Luo Hou King nodded, "If he were in normal condition, whether to run or not would be another matter."

Qin Chongwu and Huang Fusong had launched a surprise attack, while Zhao Xing’s flying boat remained stationary, still in cultivation.

Even so, they almost escaped. All three kings agreed that, despite Zhao Xing’s rapid advancement, his foundation remained solid.

...

On the way back to the Ten Thousand Skill Tower Ship with Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing carefully observed Lao Liu.

Liu was carrying Zhao Xing, but his flying speed was still incredibly fast, much faster than the flying boat!

"Lao Liu’s Floating Parasitic Species are rare in this era." Zhao Xing felt a bit envious.

The Floating Parasitic Species were seventh-rank plant species that could root in flesh and grow with their owner.

Once fully grown, the Floating Vines could form Floating Vine Armor at the owner’s will!

The Golden Feather Battle Armor of the Golden Feather Royal Court was nothing compared to this.

Because it couldn’t be mass-produced, it had to be planted inside from the seedling phase, and only the Minister of Agriculture could use it.

Its uses were many, but the main advantage was the boost in speed.

"Floating across the world, thousands of meters in an instant, and if life were burned, it could be even faster."

Mr. Zhao had also witnessed the power of Floating Vine. In a past life, he had participated in a group assassination of the elderly Lao Liu.

Once, after much hardship, they finally saw the real Liu Tianning.

They had thought they had a chance to strike while he was in a dazed state.

But Lao Liu, wearing Floating Vine Armor, with a swoosh, jumped out of the encirclement and disappeared.

Ever since then, Zhao Xing had never taken an assassination mission again, because it was simply impossible to kill him.

At that time, Liu Tianning’s Floating Vine reportedly broke the limits of ninth-order plant life. Even in a half-crazed state, if Liu Tianning stood still for them to kill, the Floating Vines would instinctively take Lao Liu away.

Zhao Xing understood why Liu Tianning looked down on the Spiritual Beauty of the Extreme Night Sea. He had untold fortunes from encounters, and what he consumed was only better than Tian Shan’s.

After flying for less than two quarters, the surrounding scene gradually turned clear from blurry.

The speed slowed down, and Zhao Xing could see the scenery clearly; they had returned to the Ten Thousand Skill Tower Ship.

Liu Tianning put Zhao Xing down and went into his room, having some matters to handle.

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Ji Zixuan flew over and asked with concern.

"I’m fine." Zhao Xing shook his head.

"That’s good." Ji Zixuan scrutinized Zhao Xing. "Is this your true self, senior brother?"

Zhao Xing glanced at Ji Zixuan; what did this girl want by identifying his real self?

"I’ll go rest first."

Zhao Xing said and went straight back to his room.

"Gather!"

Zhao Xing recalled the Life Soul Power from his other clones, leaving only twelve capable of performing high-order spells.

He stretched his body and felt he could still bear it, so he continued to recall the soul power of his clones.

In the end, the other clones lost their spell effects, turning into empty shells.

Only five Skill Avatars remained.

"These five Skill Avatars had more materials and effort invested in them, and the dispersed Life Soul Power was also more, amounting to thirty percent of my strength."

Thirty percent strength was enough to overwhelm someone at the early sixth grade.

As for the other clones, they were created casually.

Previously, Zhao Xing only used clones to run errands, not intending to use them for serious combat.

However, with the great enhancement of Life Soul Power and witnessing Liu Tianning’s Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, Zhao Xing decided to spend more effort on practicing the Grassman Skill.

"Although I now have a fifth-grade Life Soul, I still need to control the number of Grassmen. The Ten Thousand Skill Avatars must be refined rather than numerous."

"If given more time, these five Avatars could be put to good use and wouldn’t be easily recognized by Qin Chongwu and Huang Fusong at a glance."
