You Still Say You Can't Use Yin Wind? Wronged, I'm So Wronged!
The first 100 people to reach the Agricultural Supervisorate will receive a large number of points as a reward.
When self-interest is the driving force, Guest Qi is no longer an option.
"Netherwind Soul Assault!"
With a stretch of his hands, Yin Wind quickly rose from the ground and then Entanglement around Zhao Xing's hands.
After mastering the Dark Wind Method, this spell can be used at will, making casting more concealed and generating Yin Wind faster.
The Five Elements are Wind and Lightning. Although this region is shrouded in the Thunder Pool, and the Earth Vein will inevitably be affected, the wind within the Earth Vein will never be lacking.
"Go!"
With a thought, Zhao Xing sent a wisp of Yin Wind from his fingertips in two directions, sending fifteen people rushing away.
It can control fifteen strands of Yin Wind at a time, each smaller but more powerful and more concealed.
When Zhao Xing unleashed the Yin Wind, he didn't even turn his head, relying solely on the movement of the air to determine the positions of the fifteen people.
I'm still running forward.
"Phew~"
Yin Wind swirled and then entered the bodies of the fifteen people on both sides from different directions.
"Cough cough..."
"Ouch, it's so cold!"
"Huh? Why am I seeing hallucinations?"
"Is that a chilling Yin Wind? Who is it?!"
The pace of the fifteen people slowed down immediately.
However, there are also differences between people.
Four of them did not immediately determine that it was caused by the Yin Wind, but instead thought it was caused by lightning.
Six other people identified it as Yin Wind, but believed Yin Wind originated naturally from underground.
Only five people were able to determine that the affected party was Yin Wind, and they also immediately realized that it was a man-made spell, not a natural Yin Wind.
"The Ten Thousand Mile Thunder Pool. Although wind can overcome lightning, with such a terrifying Thunder Pool covering it, there is absolutely no way that Yin Wind would naturally blow up from underground."
"Someone must have cast a spell!" Yu Chunwu stepped onto the clouds, slowing down as he warily scanned the people running in different directions.
"The direction the gust of Yin Wind was blowing just now—it was him! Li Feng of the Tigron Army!"
Yu Chunwu looked at the tall figure running to his left and forward, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. "Hmph, I didn't expect that the genius ranked sixth in the Tigron Army's selection would also resort to trickery."
Unlike other armies, the Tigron Army selects its members by sending geniuses to fight their way through the ranks.
The Dragon Head Tower Ship would circle around various states and regions, and when it arrived at a place, it would find people of similar age and rank from the local army to compete with the Agricultural Official.
As they continued fighting, their fame naturally grew.
As the highest-ranking garrison in the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, the Tigron Army naturally attracted much attention, which is why Yu Chunwu recognized Li Feng at a glance.
Coincidentally, in another location, He Yu, who recognized that the Yin Wind was a man-made spell, also turned her attention to Li Feng.
"It must be Li Feng!"
"I see that everyone else was affected, except for him and one other person who were less affected."
"Hmph, I He Yu, am not afraid of you! If you won't let me pass, you won't have an easy time either!"
If it was Zhao Xing's Yin Wind that caused them to mistakenly believe it was Li Feng, then...
The other two people's judgments were entirely influenced by Li Feng's fame.
"How insidious! Using Yin Wind to harm people while pretending not to know anything and hurrying on your way with your head down! Do you think I, Peng Ran, am someone who will stand idly by? Take this!"
"His name is Li Feng, even his name has 'wind' in it, so this 'Yin Wind' must be his doing. Forget it, I'd better not bother with him... What? Three people attacked Li Feng? Count me Yang Yang!"
Therefore, after Zhao Xing used the Yin Wind to affect these fifteen people, three groups of people had completely different reactions.
Yu Chunwu, He Yu, Peng Ran, and Yang Yang all used their magic to attack Li Feng. The first three attacked at roughly the same time, but Yang Yang was a little slower.
But this also had an advantage: after seeing that Yu Chunwu, He Yu, and Peng Ran were all using spells Time Law, he immediately added an Earthly Advantage Method to counter their attacks.
The Military Sima Nong's sense of cooperation was practically ingrained in their very being.
The second group only knew about the Yin Wind, but did not know that it was a spell cast by someone.
Now that Yu Chunwu, He Yu, Peng Ran, and Yang Yang have made their move and started shouting, they immediately realized what was going on.
With the intention of giving a good beating to a drowning dog, he also cast a spell in Li Feng's direction.
The third group had no idea what had happened. They didn't know it was Yin Wind, nor did they intend to make a move. Knowing their own strength was insufficient, and given the unexpected turn of events and their injuries, they immediately left far away, deviating from the straight path leading into the valley.
Seeing this, Zhao Xing let them leave. They were only injured by his gust of Yin Wind, so they weren't much of a threat, and there was no need to care anymore.
He just didn't expect the other two groups to react so strongly.
The judgment also surprised Zhao Xing.
When he unleashed the Yin Wind, it swirled around, and the direction of the Yin Wind that each person felt was pointed towards one or two other people.
But now, why is everyone targeting that young man with protruding ears?
"Li Feng? Judging from how they call him, it seems like they know him. Is he famous?" Zhao Xing thought to himself in a flash, not caring about anything else.
He immediately transformed the Dark Wind Method into a Thunder spell and struck towards Li Feng's direction.
At the same time, he shouted, "Li Feng, you've gone too far! Take this Heavenly Thunder!"
In fact, Zhao Xing didn't know them at all; he made the choice that was most advantageous to himself based entirely on subconscious judgment.
Li Feng: "..."
At this moment, Li Feng's native language was speechless.
He did nothing, and suddenly twelve people were shouting and yelling at him to kill.
Moreover, these were all first reactions, and Li Feng didn't even have a chance to explain.
Li Feng was immediately flustered. The soil beneath his feet bulged up, and just as he was about to take off, the soil cracked open, and a vine flew out from below, wrapping around his feet.
Immediately afterwards, six bolts of heavenly lightning descended from the sky and struck him on the head. His Hundred Flowers Hat, Upper Third Tier, was instantly numb and burst into smoke, becoming unusable.
Seven other wind cones were aimed at his chest, the back of his legs, his lower abdomen, his genitals, his throat, and his face.
"Whirlwind Shield!"
Li Feng immediately summoned a gale. The cyan wind was almost tangible, swirling around him before quickly cutting off the Entanglement vines, finally managing to withstand the second wave of attacks.
"It really is you! The breeze is so real, and you've mastered the mid-level Wind Art. We didn't even provoke you, yet you've gone too far!" Zhao Xing shouted as he continued running.
In fact, no one stopped; they were all casting spells while running.
Upon hearing this, Li Feng was so angry he was practically fuming.
"Damn it! I didn't do it!"
Who can understand his grievances?
He even suspected it was Zhao Xing, but now he really couldn't explain himself.
"Li Feng." Yu Chunwu's hands didn't stop moving. "You still want to deny it was you? Who else could it be? You dare say you don't know the Dark Wind Method?"
"Bang!" Li Feng blocked a Guiding Thunder, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Because he really can summon Yin Wind!
However, compared to his Wind Art, the Dark Wind Method is only at the Fourth-Turn level.
But will people believe that?
"Don't think you can get away with this just because you made a name for yourself in the Tigron Army's selection!" He Yu tossed out the Cloud Rain Pearl, and the raindrops on it suddenly shot out, forming ice arrows in the air. "You'll get a taste of my arrow rain too!"
"The Dark Wind Method is indeed difficult to master, but my Thunder Sword is no less effective!" Thunder flashed in Peng Ran's eyes and hands as he unleashed his signature move.
As for Yang Yang, he didn't make a move again because he was skilled in earth magic, which required time to release.
In his original military unit, he mainly focused on coordinating with the army's operations, unlike these other people who all possessed a particular offensive magic technique.
As an offensive spell, its speed cannot be too slow.
Li Feng felt incredibly frustrated.
Whether your magic is powerful or not has nothing to do with me!
"That's enough!"
Li Feng was furious.
"You want to fight? Fine, I'll fight you to the bitter end!"
"Nobody's leaving today!"
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, a fiery red cloud suddenly appeared above Li Feng.
"The Blood Cloud Art is the most bizarre. It can backfire on the caster through the cloud energy. Once entangled by the blood cloud, it is impossible to break free in a short time. Both the blood energy and the cloud energy will be excessively consumed. The one who wins the battle for the cloud will cause the greatest damage to the enemy."
"The clouds swirl nine times, lacking a sense of completeness, but the Nine Turns Blood Cloud Art should not be underestimated. Li Feng is really going all out."
Upon seeing the clouds above Li Feng's head, Zhao Xing immediately recognized that the other party was practicing a mid-level Cloud Method.
At the same time, he also knew that Li Feng was truly enraged.
If it's just a friendly exchange and there's no intention to get serious, Agricultural Official usually won't use his Cloudcalling.
To Cloud Method means to fight to the death, to determine who is superior.
That's true, if it were me, I would also feel wronged and angry.
"It's time to run away."
Zhao Xing glanced at it and immediately retreated.
He is currently closest to the valley entrance and furthest from Li Feng.
The waters have been stirred up, so you have to extricate yourself.
Zhao Xing has never served as Agriculture Official, and he has not yet mastered many of the magical arts. He hasn't even practiced the Solar Terms Decree, the All Things Growth Chart, or the Yin Yang True Self Scripture.
If a fight really breaks out, with so many people, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
"Go, you Yin Wind!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Xing unleashed a gust of Yin Wind, which, mixed with the initial stage of the Rising Wind Technique, attacked Li Feng.
This caused Li Feng to momentarily lose focus and lose his ability to pinpoint Zhao Xing's location.
"Withdraw!"
Zhao Xing seized the opportunity, immediately stepped onto the clouds, and rushed towards the valley entrance.
He quickly disappeared into the valley entrance and entered the thundercloud area.
Li Feng's Blood Cloud Art completely lost its ability to sense Zhao Xing.
"It's him!"
"You beast! You just wait!"
Li Feng discovered the real culprit and stared intently in Zhao Xing's direction.
But right now, he still has to deal with these people in front of him.
Since a real fight broke out, any explanation should be given after the fight is won; otherwise, it would be seen as a sign of weakness and cowardice.
Whether you're right or wrong, people will still try to put you down!
"I didn't do this. But..." Li Feng stared intently at the group. "You've really angered me."
"Come on, you want to fight, don't you?!"
"All of you, get at me at once!"
Li Feng roared.
"Are you scared of me?!"
"Today I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Superior!"
The Agricultural Supervisorate and the Great Granary Institute.
There were even more people in front of the Great Granary Institute Earth Mirror Instrument, after all, there were so many reserve Agricultural Official to teach, and the number of people teaching and training them would be considerable.
Although Lu Bang was in charge of the new recruits' arrival and assignments, some of them were of higher rank and stronger than Lu Bang. These powerful individuals would occasionally visit Great Granary Institute.
"Lu Bang, the Military Sima Nong began his training at the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven today. You've been watching for several hours now. Do you have any good prospects to recommend?" An elderly man with a white beard but full of energy walked into the Earth Mirror Hall and asked Lu Bang.
"How many are there? What kind of promising talents does Tian Hou want?" Lu Bang asked.
"I'm Earthly Advantage Faction, so of course you're looking for someone with talent in this area. Observe the areas of Suspended Territory, Heavy Water River, and Earth Fire Plain for me. If you find any promising talents, let me know in advance," the old man said with a smile.
"No problem, don't worry." Lu Bang smiled as he saw the old man off.
He says the same thing to everyone, but how exactly to do it? Ultimately, it still comes down to following the rules.
After seeing the old man off, Lu Bang returned to the mirror. "Let's see where that kid is."
He was looking at Zhao Xing.
Ever since Zhao Xing used his magic to wreak havoc on the Earth Fire Plain, causing great suffering to many who followed, Zuo Zizhi and Lu Bang have been keeping a close eye on Zhao Xing.
"After leaving the Earth Fire Plain, he headed towards the Ten Thousand Mile Thunder Pool," Zuo Zizhi pointed and said. "However, he was unlucky and ran into Li Feng and his group."
"Oh?" Lu Bang immediately looked at the Earth Mirror Instrument. He knew Li Feng. Among the first batch of people selected by the Tigron Army, Li Feng was one of the more outstanding ones.
As one of the first to arrive, Li Feng stayed outside the Grotto-Heaven for more than a month.
The magical duels between the Agricultural Official were quite a spectacle, and Li Feng, who was outside, also accepted challenges from several later groups.
Li Feng has won many matches and lost only five.
Ultimately, among the new recruits within the Tigron Army, Li Feng ranked sixth.
"There are three more people, not bad either," Zuo Zizhi said, holding the booklet. "Yu Chunwu, chosen by the Blazing Sun Army, He Yu and Peng Ran, chosen by the Black Armor Army."
"Hmm." Lu Bang nodded slightly, but in his opinion, the three people Zuo Zizhi mentioned were just not bad. Of those he could slightly approve of, Li Feng was one, and now Zhao Xing had joined the list.
"What's going on? They've slowed down." Zuo Zizhi suddenly looked at the screen. "It sounds like they're shouting something."
"Let me adjust the sound." Lu Bang was also quite curious, and soon, with his adjustments, sound came from the Earth Mirror Instrument.
"Li Feng, you've gone too far!"
"Li Feng, you still say you don't know the Dark Wind Method?"
"..."
As Lu Bang listened to the sound and looked at Zhao Xing on the screen, his expression became extremely interesting.
He had naturally noticed Zhao Xing's subtle actions. At first, they were rather discreet, but as an observer, he immediately understood the whole story.
Since Zhao Xing didn't know Li Feng at all, and he hadn't even stayed outside the camp for two hours, what Zhao Xing said was entirely intentional, to push Yu Chunwu and the other three to attack Li Feng.
"That's quite insidious," Zuo Zizhi laughed. He had also realized that the Yin Wind was cast by Zhao Xing. "If he were to fight seriously, he probably wouldn't even be able to handle Yu Chunwu, since he has no experience in Military Sima Nong."
"But by stirring things up like this, he actually ended up being the one who benefited the most."
"How can you call that insidious?" Lu Bang said, "With fifteen people, he managed to gain the upper hand in this situation; that's called cleverness."
"He is quite clever." Zuo Zizhi nodded. "It's just that Li Feng is a bit wronged. He fell into Zhao Xing's trap for no reason and has no way to explain himself."
"Hahaha, that's really unfair." Lu Bang laughed after reading it. "If it were me, I would also want to chop that kid Zhao Xing up."
"Look, Li Feng has also figured out who did the dirty work, but the kid has already slipped away."
Inside the valley, hearing the roars behind him, Zhao Xing ran even faster.
"I don't know what sins Li Feng committed, but with just a little push, so many people attacked him."
Zhao Xing arrived at the garrison in Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven relatively late. He knew that the military selection process often started early in the morning.
After all, officials have to wait until the spring to take office, while the army selects people, and academies, Dao Academy and so on begin before the new year.
"Maybe he arrived early and made a name for himself in the outer outposts?" Zhao Xing pondered the words of the people who had spoken earlier and thought it was quite possible.
"He's being too high-profile, which makes people jealous."
"However, being too low-key is also not good. The military is warlike, and being too low-key will give people the impression of being weak, and everyone will want to kick you while you're down."
Unlike civil Civil Official, military officers, when they were in Gucheng, were often disliked by people like Tang Wanchun, Gao Linong, and Pang Yuan, who would also speak sarcastically to Xue Wenzhong.
However, being Civil Official, the overall atmosphere was quite respectful and restrained, unlike in the military.
"You should be high-profile when necessary, such as when you can get points rewards. Otherwise, you should be low-profile and not always show up in front of people."
"Only fight for what is profitable and beneficial, and when fighting, try to launch surprise attacks, like this time. Blindly fighting or fighting out of pride is unacceptable." Zhao Xing set this principle for his actions in the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven.
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder startled Zhao Xing awake. He immediately stopped thinking about Li Feng and focused on venturing into the Ten Thousand Mile Thunder Pool.
