Chapter 676: Chapter 11: 8 Years Later, News of Mi Fei, Breakthrough to Fifth-Rank!_4

"I don’t know what the future will hold. I hope Emperor Jing doesn’t suffer too severe a defeat this time. Otherwise, by the time it gets to Emperor Wu, who knows what will happen, huh? If it’s three years earlier, will Emperor Wu still be born?"

Zhao Xing suddenly thought, the Jingxin Calendar originally lasted until the thirty-seventh year before it ended. Now, if it’s three years less, can Emperor Jing still give birth to Emperor Wu?

"Forget it. Whoever becomes Emperor won’t affect my becoming the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

"As long as I can become the leader of any Minister of Agriculture faction, I can eventually sit in that position."

...

In the twenty-third year of the Jingxin Calendar, Zhao Xing was still staying on Twin Islands, serving as the Left Deputy.

In the first half of the year, Zhao Xing still had not seen Princess You Ruo.

The old witch seemed to have completely forgotten Zhao Xing’s existence.

However, on important holidays, Zhao Xing still sent gifts and greetings to the Princess Mansion.

What comforted Zhao Xing was that the old witch still accepted the gifts he sent.

She just didn’t want to see him in person.

In the middle of the year, the mountain cat advanced from early fifth rank to mid fifth rank.

The Xiao Tian Dog and the Inverted Sheep advanced to the late stage of the seventh grade Earthly Evil Realm.

Zhao Xing’s beast taming spells also became increasingly proficient.

At the end of the year, he received an ’excellent’ rating in his performance evaluation from Chongming Prefecture.

...

In the early part of the twenty-fourth year of the Jingxin Calendar,

Yang An beheaded a third-grade Heavenly Witch with a single sword in the Southern Desolate, making a name for himself across the land and being titled Duke Divine Might.

In the same summer, Shang Ziyan and Su Minghui from the Beast Taming Department of Bishui Daoist School made a remarkable debut in the summer qualifiers.

In the winter, the mountain cat advanced to the late stage of the fifth rank, and the Xiao Tian Dog and the Inverted Sheep advanced to the early sixth rank.

In the autumn of the twenty-fifth year of the Jingxin Calendar,

The Xiao Tian Dog and the Inverted Sheep advanced to the early fifth stage, passing the autumn qualifiers.

This time, Zhao Xing kept a low profile; the Xiao Tian Dog and the Inverted Sheep didn’t display overly strong abilities.

During the second-to-last qualifier on Tianjing Island, the Xiao Tian Dog and the Inverted Sheep barely made it through.

Until the end of December, the qualifiers for the All Beasts Competition were over. The next step was to participate in a group match within five years to qualify from the East Sea.

After participating in the All Beasts Competition, Zhao Xing followed Liu Tianning’s advice and farmed quietly on Twin Islands.

He paid very little attention to the Plain Barbarians War.

Besides daily government affairs, he devoted all his energy to researching the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man, cultivating battle beasts, and comprehending three great secret texts.

Occasionally, he would write letters to his previous investments, Yun Yi, Li Fuhai, and Yue Lingzhi, sending them some precious island herbs and resources.

Day after day of farming and cultivation, time seemed to speed up.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the twenty-ninth year of the Jingxin Calendar.

.....

March 5th, the twenty-ninth year of the Jingxin Calendar, Jingzhe.

In an unnamed sea area far from Twin Islands, five thousand meters deep underwater.

A gray lion, completely black in color, floated on the seabed.

"Gulp~"

The Xiao Tian Dog blew out a bubble ring, expanding it suddenly to a diameter of half a meter.

A trace of red light appeared in Xiao Tian’s mouth.

"Bang!" It seemed like a fire dragon emerged from Xiao Tian’s mouth. A dragon-shaped light column spread instantly to a thousand meters away.

The powerful impact caused a negative pressure explosion in the deep sea.

"Boom!" The red light column struck a floating magic wall in the distance.

On the deck of the Cloud Rain Ship above the sea, where Zhao Xing sat cross-legged, a clear wind chime sounded nearby.

"Ding-a-ling~"

Zhao Xing opened his eyes and saw a crystal next to him projecting a line of text onto the ground.

[Identification test secret skill is High Order Secret Skill ’Destructive Flame’]

[Test power: Primordial Soul Realm Early Stage]

[Test distance: one thousand two hundred meters]

[Destructive range: three-meter radius]

"A strike a thousand two hundred meters underwater with the power of the early Primordial Soul Realm. This trip was indeed worthwhile." Zhao Xing smiled.

"Xiao Tian, come up."

"Woof!"

In the deep sea, the gray lion immediately transformed into a streak of rainbow light, swimming upward.

Splash~

The sea exploded, the water column shot up, and a black-red figure shot out with a swoosh, landing on the deck.

"Woof Woof!" Xiao Tian wagged its tail, tongue out, at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing pointed his finger, extracting a drop of blood from Xiao Tian and placing it into the ’Shang Heng Instrument.’

In the advanced Shang Heng Instrument, its detailed information was displayed.

[Name: Gray Lion]

[Rank: Mid Fifth Grade]

[Bloodline: Divine Level 7th Rank]

[Innate Secret Skill: Lion Power]

[Innate Secret Skill: Destructive Impact]

[Second transformation: Fierce Sun Pure Essence Body]

[Pure Essence attachment: (Attachment conditions met)]

[Comprehensive combat power evaluation: Mid Primordial Soul of Fourth Rank]

"A comprehensive combat power evaluation reaching mid fourth rank Primordial Soul. It’s truly worthy of a divine beast bloodline." Zhao Xing shut off the Shang Heng Instrument.

"However, there’s still room for significant improvement."

The Xiao Tian Dog was now only mid fifth grade, and the highest limit to participate in the All Beasts Competition was fourth rank.

"Let’s see where the next sea transformation will occur."

Zhao Xing walked into the ship.

Inside the Cloud Rain Ship was a very spacious room containing only one item: a Ten-thousand-year-old Mystic Turtle Shell.

After eight years of fire forging, the Ten-thousand-year-old Mystic Turtle Shell was reduced tenfold in size, finally small enough to be loaded onto a ship and carried away.
