One rallying cry, and followers flocked to him!

"You're the sixteenth to fall down," Tian Yan said.

"The sixteenth from the bottom?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; he had thought he would be among the last few.

"The Grade A geniuses all fell down around the same time," Tian Yan smiled. "Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing only lasted ten breaths longer than you, and the last one to fall was actually Feng Qiu."

"In the final stage, luck plays a significant role."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly.

That's true. When it comes to the last few dozen people, it doesn't really matter what your own strength is anymore.

Observe the positions of the strongest geniuses on the other side, and choose who to attack.

As far as Zhao Xing knew, the two strongest geniuses in the Martial Office, Xia Jing and Fu Ying, had both reached the late stage of the Eighth Grade and had even comprehended martial arts techniques that surpassed the Nine Turns.

If you're unlucky and run into those two people in the final stage, you might fall out of the top 21.

"[Lawless Training], try again every two days."

"During this period, you can participate in the selection training of various colleges."

"As long as you get a grade of Grade C, you'll pass the test."

"But you, for the selection training, you have to get at least an A to be considered qualified," Tian Yan said. "The Grade A treatment means you have to complete ten selection training sessions a year, and you have to get an A grade every time. If you don't get an A grade, it doesn't count."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "Then this student will take his leave."

Go ahead.

The road back to my residence after leaving Fuchun Garden was very lively.

Everywhere you look, there's discussion about "Lawless Training".

"Ouch, that hurts so much! Those guys from Martial Office beat me way too hard!"

"Who says otherwise? My butt's been spanked raw!"

"Bro, are you sure you were hit and not trampled on?"

"You were down from the start, weren't you? What kind of martial art is specifically for hitting butts?"

"Xia Jing and Fu Ying from the Azure Dragon Martial Division are too strong. I checked the rankings of the martial artists, and these two are ranked first and second."

"Guess how many people they took down?"

"How many?"

"Xia Jing knocked down 1,123 people, and Fu Ying knocked down 1,085 people. These two alone knocked down more than one-fifth of the population!"

"What? That's outrageous!"

"That's really an exaggeration. The strength of these two is overwhelming. No one else is as powerful as them. Just like our Agricultural Supervisorate, Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing are also overwhelmingly strong. Everyone else is a step weaker than them."

"I don't think so. Zhao Xing ranked third in the fourth test last time, is not weak either."

"Zhao Xing is not weak, but I always feel that he is not excessively strong. Maybe if he catches up, he will be surpassed by others."

"Perhaps it's because Zhao Xing is relatively low-key. I've rarely seen him spar or fight with anyone in the past two months, while Shi Yong's rating in the [Nine Sections Dojo] has already reached level three, and he hasn't lost a single match so far!"

"Zhuang Ziqing has also reached level three. In the Nine Sections Dojo, he defeated a 'Military Commander' from the Sea Pacifying Army. That Military Sima Nong had several hundred men under his command, but he still lost during the sparring match."

"That makes sense. I've heard that Feng Qiu, Guan Junyang, Cao Shuang, and others have all performed exceptionally well at the Nine Sections Dojo, but I've never heard of Zhao Xing."

"..."

"Is there a significant gap between me and Zhuang Ziqing and Shi Yong?"

Zhao Xing listened to the whispers in the wind.

He has been in Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven for two months now. Apart from the training he has to attend or the things he has to go out to buy, he rarely goes to public areas, let alone socializes.

I've met Han Bing a few times, and she's usually quite low-key.

"Although I am not on par with Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing, it is not a huge gap. Is it because of the achievements of the Nine Sections Dojo?" Zhao Xing pondered.

The "Nine Sections Military Sima Nong" was in charge of military campaigns and warfare.

The Nine Sections Dojo is also a unique feature of the Military Realm. Anyone can go to the Nine Sections Dojo to spar and compete with other Military Sima Nong.

During the two months he spent in the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, Zhao Xing focused solely on cultivation, without being distracted by anything else. Naturally, he didn't go to the [Nine Sections Dojo] to gamble and earn points.

"It seems that this is the reason why outsiders feel that I am very different from others."

"However, I've only been studying the three great secret texts for a short time, and I haven't even started to comprehend the Solar Terms Monument yet, so there's no rush to enter the [Nine Sections Dojo]," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He has his own plans and won't be easily swayed by external comments.

"This month, I'll first finish the [Lawless Training, and also take some elective training courses."

Zhao Xing wasn't in a hurry to start the selection training, since the most important thing right now was the Lawless Training. If he dropped out of the top 21 three times in a row, he would have to be relegated.

Zhao Xing ranked sixteenth this time, just five places away from dropping out!

Tian Hou said that there was some luck involved in the final stage, but he also said that Zhuang Ziqing and Shi Yong held on for ten more breaths!

"The Kui Ox Thunder Roar, with its Refracted Sound Curved Form; there is still room for improvement."

"Cultivating the Yin Yang True Self Scripture also requires continuous comprehension," Zhao Xing reflected. "In the final stage, my use of the Kui Ox Thunder Roar was somewhat deformed, mainly because I consumed too much of my vital energy and was injured, which allowed Xia Jing to easily reach me."

"If it's a roar at peak condition? No matter how powerful Xia Jing and Fu Ying are, they couldn't possibly withstand my Kui Ox Thunder Roar and knock me down in one move."

"If we improve our skills further, we can last longer in the final stages."

"Once or twice, those geniuses in the Martial Office will realize I'm difficult to deal with, so they'll naturally go after others first," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "While it might be called luck, strength also influences an enemy's choice."

[Lawless Training] Starting from the 7th of May.

After the event, there were two days of rest. The Agricultural Official had already begun their "selection training," which included a wide range of content.

Teachers from the Celestial Timing Academy, Earthly Advantage Institute, Great Granary Institute, Tranquil Flood Academy, and other branch academies will set up training challenges for the Agricultural Official to take on.

However, Zhao Xing did not choose to follow his own plan.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, at the Southwest Training Field.

"Kill them!"

"Break them down!"

"Agricultural Official, are you ready to receive your brother's mighty fist?!"

"Hmph, you've already fallen before I've even exerted my full strength."

A chaotic battle ensued, yet another chaotic battle.

In the initial stage, Zhao Xing still chose to use the [Refracted Sound Curved Form] technique to break through the weak points of the martial artists' formation.

He then wandered around, actively eliminating other warriors while also guiding more Agricultural Official to follow him.

In the later stages, the vital energy became very chaotic, but Zhao Xing still managed to handle it with ease.

"Zhao Xing! Come and fight me one-on-one!"

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a roar.

It was Chen Fang from the Azure Dragon Martial Division.

After being eliminated by Zhao Xing last time, his ranking dropped drastically, and he was even scolded by his teacher for being too careless. This made Chen Fang very unwilling. How could he have been tricked by that Agricultural Official?

So he gathered Hu Bing and Dan Fei, both victims of the Black Tortoise Division, to avenge Zhao Xing.

"We don't need to talk about morality when dealing with these Martial Man, let's all attack together!" Zhao Xing incited the Agricultural Official beside him to rush towards Chen Fang.

"What? Despicable!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Fang, Hu Bing, Dan Fei immediately fled in panic.

They weren't stupid. If Zhao Xing had accepted the challenge, they would have immediately turned three against one. But Zhao Xing had so many men, and they weren't just a mob. So they immediately turned tail and ran.

"Hmph, you're still too green to play mind games with the Military Sima Nong." Zhao Xing didn't chase after the three men, but continued to wander around the training ground.

Several hours later.

The Agricultural Official sector suffered another major defeat, but having learned from the first experience, they significantly improved their ability to hold out for longer.

They lasted an hour longer than the first time before finally being defeated.

This time, Zhao Xing persisted until he was the fourteenth to fall, when he was defeated by Fu Ying of the Azure Dragon Martial Division, and was still beaten black and blue.

May 13th, Southwest Training Field.

The cohesion among the Agricultural Official was growing stronger, mainly due to the efforts of Zhao Xing, Zhuang Ziqing, Shi Yong, Feng Qiu, Meng Song, Jiang Tianming, Guan Junyang, and others, who began to consciously organize their own people.

These capable individuals, taking the lead and having a numerical advantage, have indeed achieved some results.

However, the distance was too close and the space too cramped.

On the other hand, the Agricultural Official suffered another crushing defeat.

Zhao Xing persevered until the nineteenth person before collapsing, when he was defeated by Huang Qingshan of the White Tiger Martial Division, breaking four bones.

On May 14th, Zhao Xing's [Folding Sound Melody · Sound Blade] and [Refracted Sound Melody Form · Sound Thorn] broke through the Nine Turns.

On May 15th, [Kui Ox Thunder Roar] broke through to the Sixth-Turn.

On May 16th, Zhao Xing, whose strength had increased, along with the skilled cooperation of the Agricultural Supervisorate,

The others were unwilling to fight Zhao Xing, and in the end only ten people remained. It was Xia Jing from the Azure Dragon Martial Division who delivered the final blow to Zhao Xing.

This time, he was the ninth person from the bottom to collapse.

May 17th.

"Da da da~"

Gao Ming rode his Bamboo Horse to the gate of the Eighteen Locust Willow Courtyard.

"Zhao Xing, your goods have arrived and are at your door!"

"OK."

At the entrance of the courtyard, Zhao Xing appeared with gauze and plaster on his forehead, and then brought the box inside.

"I spent 4,000 points a few days ago and another 2,000 points today to buy Lung Metal Spirit Liquid. Now all my points are used up."

"Hopefully, this time the Kui Ox Thunder Roar will bring a breakthrough."

"Damn it, you bunch of Martial Man, just you wait!"

Zhao Xing covered his head, looked around, and quickly carried the box into the yard.

Then another roar came from inside the house.

On May 18th, with the help of the [Lung Metal Spirit Liquid], Zhao Xing was able to practice sonic martial arts almost continuously.

After ten days of frantic practice, consuming six thousand points, [Kui Ox Thunder Roar] finally broke through to the Seventh-Turn!

By drawing inferences from similar cases, the progress of the two Nine Turns Martial Arts techniques, namely [Refracted Sound Curved Form], was also greatly improved.

On May 19th, at the Southwest Training Field, another period of "Lawless Training" began.

This time, Zhao Xing shouted the Kui Ox Thunder Roar) at the start of the battle.

"Anyone who possesses even a Seventh-Turn martial art, come to my side!"

"Let's take out the people from the Four Great Martial Offices: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!"

"This time, it's not about rankings, it's about revenge!"

Han Bing was the first to respond, "I'll do it!"

Zhuang Ziqing followed closely behind. "Count me in!"

Cao Shuang and Jiang Tianming hesitated for a moment, then followed behind.

The organization, initiated by five Grade A scholars from the Earthly Advantage Institute, immediately triggered a bandwagon effect.

Having been beaten black and blue for days, the Agricultural Official were seething with anger.

Zhao Xing's slogan was simple: not for ranking, but for revenge, which instantly struck a chord with the people of the Agricultural Official.

Besides, even those in Grade A don't care about rankings anymore, Grade B, afraid of?

"Rush!"

"Me too!"

"Dry them to death!"

"Kill these rude Martial Man!"

Therefore, Zhao Xing's call to action immediately garnered a large-scale response.

Not only the Earthly Advantage Institute, but also the Great Granary Institute, Tranquil Flood Academy, and Celestial Timing Academy, had many people actively coming to them.

Shi Yong from the Celestial Timing Academy glanced at Zhao Xing with surprise.

After thinking about it, I followed them.

Thus, during the "Lawless Training" period on May 19th, a rare scene unfolded.

The Agricultural Supervisorate's Fang Zhen launched a powerful attack.

Led by Zhao Xing, Zhuang Ziqing, and Han Bing, nearly a hundred geniuses formed a sharp blade and launched a charge against the martial Fang Zhen!

"Have these Agricultural Official gone mad? They've stopped running?" Zhang Jie, watching the charging Agricultural Official from behind the warrior Fang Zhen, was quite surprised.

"In the past, we always held our ground and resisted, with only a few people charging forward. Why are there so many people today?" Chen Fang looked on in confusion.

The people from the Four Great Martial Offices were all placed at the back of the Fang Zhen, which was the exact opposite of the way the Agricultural Supervisorate assembled.

"They've pushed me to the limit," Hu Bing scoffed. "But what's the use of pushing them to the limit?"

"Something's not right, this time seems different." Dan Fei jumped up and looked ahead, landing with a shocked expression. "Damn it, this time it really seems different."

On the Tower Ship in the sky.

"Good, good lad!" Lu Bang slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "We've finally waited for you."

"His move was quite a spectacle, igniting the fighting spirit of the Agricultural Official," Zuo Zizhi. "Tian Hou, did you know he would do this today?"

"I don't know." Tian Yan shook his head. "He never said."

"Not for rankings, but for revenge? This Zhao Xing really knows how to organize things." Fang Wu's eyes showed a strange light. "If he said any other slogan, people might not believe him, but this one is really too inflammatory."

Fan Zhaoli smiled and said, "After his instigation, most people followed suit, even Shi Yong went with them."

Fang Wu said, "It's already somewhat disappointing that it wasn't him who organized it. Shi Yong doesn't even side with us at a time like this, I'll really give him a low score. No matter how strong a person is, how much resistance can they provide? How can they be a general?"

"Even if his dojo reaches a higher star level, it's all for nothing. Luckily, he followed along this time."

Fan Zhaoli asked, "General Fang, do you think the Agricultural Supervisorate has a chance of winning this time?"

Fang Wu shook his head. "To be honest, no, the gap can't be bridged by courage, but it will definitely cause chaos. Zhao Xing is aiming for the geniuses of the Four Great Martial Offices, and I reckon the rankings of the top Martial Office will be drastically changed this time."

Zhao Xing's shouts were contained within the area of Agricultural Official Fang Zhen.

The opposing martial arts Fang Zhen was unaware of their intentions; they were geniuses from the Four Great Martial Offices.

The martial Fang Zhen were arranged from weakest to strongest, and the martial artists at the front were no match for the wave of elites Zhao Xing had gathered to charge forward.

"Roar!"

The Kui Ox Thunder Roar, obscuring the sun and moon. Zhao Xing was the first one at the very front.

A phantom image of a Kui Ox) seemed to appear behind him, roaring towards the sky.

The shockwave spread towards the front line of warriors, causing the more than a thousand people at the front to feel panicked, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

Moreover, this shout was not intended to eliminate anyone, but mainly to create chaos.

Seventy percent of the people who were yelled at experienced intermittent blindness or deafness.

I felt panicked and then experienced hearing and blindness.

The once-fierce warriors suddenly collapsed and turned to flee.

This posed a significant obstacle to the Four Great Martial Offices geniuses who followed.

"Don't run away!"

"Damn it, what are you afraid of!"

"Are you crazy? I'm a martial artist! Why are you hitting me?!"

"Mountain Shattering Fist! Get out of my way... damn it!"

"..."

It's chaotic, so chaotic.

The unexpected attack organized by the Agricultural Official, coupled with Zhao Xing's shout, produced excellent results.

As the distance closed, a large number of martial artists were immediately eliminated.

Half of them were caused by martial artists losing their composure and trampling each other in the process.

Zhang Jie is eliminated!

Chen Fang is out!

Hu Bing is eliminated!

Dan Fei means elimination!

Lu Dong is eliminated!

At this moment, a large-scale elimination occurred in the Four Great Martial Offices, mainly because geniuses such as Zhao Xing, Shi Yong, Zhuang Ziqing, Jiang Tianming, Meng Song, and Cao Shuang were very fast. The team composed of these most elite Sino Genius was like a sharp knife, piercing into the martial arts Fang Zhen.

In their disarray, apart from a small group of Grade A Four Great Martial Offices was greatly reduced, and they were reduced to "inferior horses".

The Agricultural Supervisorate, this elite force, is equipped entirely with top-quality horses!

"What a joke!" On the Tower Ship, Chen Min was shocked to see this scene. "How could it be so disgusting?"

"What's going on? Why did they collapse so quickly!" Another martial artist couldn't sit still any longer, gripping the railing tightly and staring down.

"Zhao Xing's roar was a bit too powerful! Seventy percent of the people from each Martial Office were affected?"

"What a Kui Ox Thunder Roar! With such power, it must have reached the Seventh-Turn of cultivation!"

"The Kui Ox Thunder Roar is so difficult to master, how did he actually reach the Seventh-Turn? I saw that the previous times he was only at the fifth level."

"Insidious. It was clearly enough to crush those in front of it, but instead of unleashing its full power, it caused deafness and blindness, making the martial artists panic."

"How embarrassing..."

It's so unexpected! Zhao Xing actually unleashed the Seventh-Turn Kui Ox Thunder Roar!

Not only were the martial artists from the Martial Office Department surprised, but the experts from the Agricultural Supervisorate were also astonished.

"The Seventh-Turn Kui Ox Thunder Roar, could we win this time?" Ge Jinsong muttered to himself. "He was promoted from a clerk to a full-fledged official, there's no reason he should have learned it before. That means he could have Seventh-Turn in at most two months... Even his aptitude for martial arts is this high?"

The martial arts training will be almost finished in this chapter. It won't be too long, and it will mainly focus on Agricultural Official's perspective.

There will be a third update after midnight. Don't stay up late, you can read it tomorrow.
