What a Bunch of Blind Fools!

"Ugh~"

Half an hour later, someone finally vomited.

After consuming five servings, the accumulated toxins in Wang Meng erupted, and he finally couldn't take it anymore, collapsing to the ground and vomiting uncontrollably.

The next moment, his face turned blue, he foamed at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground convulsing.

"Doctor! Doctor!"

Chen Fang nearby, immediately shouted.

"I see, don't panic, it's nothing serious." The middle-aged doctor walked to Wang Meng's side and lifted him up with one hand.

At this moment, Wang Meng was hunched over, looking like a giant shrimp.

"Give me the needle!"

With a wave of his hand, the doctor sent out a row of silver needles flying from the box.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The silver needles were inserted into different parts of Wang Meng's body.

As the silver needles were inserted, Wang Meng's body relaxed.

At the same time, the silver needles turned purplish-black.

"Vomit!"

The middle-aged doctor struck Wang Meng in the abdomen with a palm strike. Like a ball, Wang Meng was repeatedly thrown around. After being struck several times, Wang Meng finally regained full consciousness.

"All done," the middle-aged doctor said to Liu Yongli.

"Your Returning Yang Nine Needles are getting stronger and stronger," Liu Yongli said with a smile. "It's only been a short while."

"The main problem isn't serious," the middle-aged doctor said. "He's only at the first level of the Gluttony Art, Returning Yang Nine Needles are more than enough. If he had failed to advance from the third to the fourth level of the Gluttony Art, even the Returning Yang Nine Needles wouldn't have saved him; he would have needed the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles."

Liu Yongli nodded and said to Wang Meng, who had recovered, "You don't need to eat anymore today, and your training volume will be reduced accordingly."

Wang Meng somewhat reluctantly, "Commander, I want to train..."

"What are you scolding me for?!" Liu Yongli snapped. "Martial artists are meant to pursue their limits, not to send you to your death. Striving for breakthroughs and courting death are two different things!"

"Your Gluttony Art only has one level; your daily training volume can only go this far. If you continue pushing yourself, you'll ruin yourself!"

"Yes, I understand." Wang Meng was somewhat unwilling, but he still stepped aside to rest.

Those who master the Gluttony Art can quickly replenish their energy from food each day, and receive a balanced supply of nutrients. This can enhance various bodily resistances.

However, there is a limit; it's not something that can be improved indefinitely.

Even if Zhao Xing delivered normal supplies, anything that is food will become poisonous if the quantity accumulates to a certain level!

Wang Meng only has the first level of the Gluttony Art, so he can't eat anymore today, and his training volume also needs to be reduced accordingly.

"Ugh~"

Soon, another person couldn't hold on any longer.

His symptoms are different from Wang Meng's.

It wasn't poisoning, but rather the absorption of excessive amounts of the energy from the Numbfish Fruit, which caused the body to become numb.

Even though it hadn't finished digesting, it was still consuming vital energy, causing too much vital energy to run rampant in its body, making its situation even more serious than Wang Meng's.

"Give me the needle!"

The middle-aged doctor then turned this person into a hedgehog with needles.

"I can't take it anymore!"

"Give me the needle!"

"Vomit!"

"I'll stab you!"

One after another, people experienced side effects, but under the treatment of the middle-aged doctor, they recovered quickly.

Only Chen Fang, Hu Bing, Zhang Jie, and Xia Jing remained eating.

"Wow, they're still eating."

"Numbfish Fruit, this is Numbfish Fruit? This is terrifying."

"Don't talk to me, you smell like dead fish."

"It's like you don't have anything on you."

"Doctor, can we get rid of this smell on us?" Wang Meng asked the middle-aged doctor.

"I'm a doctor, not a cleaner," the middle-aged doctor said calmly. "This smell can't be dispelled, but it will naturally disappear in a few days."

"The six of you will begin Mountain Running Training to aid digestion. When the time comes, you can then move on to Speed Eating Training," Liu Yongli instructed the six.

"Yes." The six lined up and ran towards the rocky hills ahead.

The remaining four people continued eating.

Xia Jing, Chen Fang, Hu Bing, and Zhang Jie are all Eighth Grade martial artists, with Xia Jing having already reached the late Eighth Grade stage.

Ranked Martial Artist have such large appetites that they can eat a whole cow in one meal. These four are also among the best in the Martial Office, with their Gluttony Art at the second level or above. Therefore, they are still eating Numbfish Fruit to earn points.

However, the Numbfish Fruit is a Tier 3 supply, and its energy content is quite high. The six people who ran there could only eat eight or nine servings before they couldn't take it anymore.

"With the first level of Gluttony Art, digesting the third level of supplies, even if you eat slowly, you won't eat more than a hundred pounds."

"Judging from this, we won't be able to finish these 5,000 jin today." Liu Yongli observed for a while and found that Hu Bing Chen Fang were also nearing their limits.

"How could they possibly finish it?" the middle-aged doctor said. "The more Numbfish Fruit they eat, the more their body's meridians will be paralyzed by the vital energy it contains, and the more trace toxins will accumulate. The four of them simply cannot finish it in one Heavenly Timing."

A long time had passed. Wang Meng and the other six had been eating for more than two hours, and each of them had only eaten less than 100 jin (50 kg), but they had reached their limit.

The further you go, the harder it is to digest.

Even if the time limit is extended to twelve hours, Xia Jing and his three companions still cannot finish the remaining four thousand catties.

"We'll have to eat it tomorrow." Liu Yongli nodded. "We just need to finish eating what Agricultural Official grows within three days."

The rules of the Martial Office are that everyone must finish eating everything grown by the Agricultural Official!

Because the soil fertility in this area is limited!

Even the Agricultural Official cannot grow an unlimited amount of grain.

They will move to a different location after Heavenly Timing.

One Agricultural Official, with 10 warriors, and the earth's strength getting weaker and weaker, they still can't finish eating it all?

Then let's skip all other training and start with "Speed Eating Training"—that's embarrassing!

"I think it's risky," the middle-aged doctor said. "That kid from the Agricultural Supervisorate is no simpleton. Look at the batch of Numbfish Fruit he planted before, he didn't cause any big commotion. The Heavenly Timing hasn't changed, and the Earthly Advantage Method haven't fluctuated much."

"In other words, this kid's assessment is that the environmental conditions are still sufficient to support it."

"At least one more batch of supplies should be available within three days."

"Can another batch emerge?" Liu Yongli's face showed sympathy upon hearing this. "Hopefully, this month of training won't leave them with psychological trauma..."

Beside the flying boat, Zhao Xing rolled up a batch of fourth-tier seeds and floated them into the sky.

"After growing the Tier 3 Numbfish Fruit, the soil fertility has decreased considerably."

"It was originally rated as 'normal,' but after I Earth Treasury Return to Origin Method to adjust it, it reached 'slightly fertile.' However, after planting, it is now 'slightly barren.'"

"If left unattended, it will take about twenty hours for it to return to 'mildly fertile'."

"It's very difficult to grow Tier 4 supplies now."

Zhao Xing surveyed the area along the Gravel Slope and finally came to a conclusion.

He wants to grow fourth-tier supplies, so he has to wait.

However, the scoring criteria for the Agricultural Official require daily supplies.

If Zhao Xing were to plant Tier 4 supplies, he would definitely lose points one day.

If he doesn't plant any seeds, but plants another batch of Second Level Supplies the next day, he won't lose any base points. However, this will inevitably affect the growth of Tier 4 seeds.

Increasing the strength of martial artists is not so easy.

But who is Zhao Xing?

"Only children make choices; I want it all! I'll plant the fourth-tier plants, and I'll plant the second-tier plants too!"

"Clouds are coming!"

Zhao Xing pointed to the sky.

The Devouring Cloud Art, and the clouds rolled and unfurled nine times, instantly covering the entire training area.

The Devouring Cloud Art has already broken through to the Nine Turns during previous cultivation!

Even the martial artists noticed the changes in the sky.

"Splash!"

The rain poured down.

"He started raining, and on such a large scale?" Chen Fang looked at the clouds in the sky, and couldn't help but be startled. "What's going on? He just planted so many Tier 3 supplies, can he grow more within three days?!"

"No way, five thousand catties of Numbfish Fruit, and that's not the limit?" Zhang Jie was also a little stunned. They had witnessed the methods of the Military Sima Nong in the local army before.

But they had never seen Zhao Xing so fierce before.

Who in the local army's Agricultural Official could grow 5,000 catties of Numbfish Fruit in an hour and a half?

That's too little, especially since this area isn't very big.

There aren't many planting areas to choose from.

"This bastard, could it really still grow?" Xia Jing's lips were also pale at this moment. He ate the fastest and the most.

Several hours have passed, and five hundred catties have been consumed!

However, after the rain, Zhao Xing also felt uneasy.

He was stubborn before because he felt that although 5,000 jin was the limit for his group, it should also be Zhao Xing's limit.

He also had a good understanding of the Military Sima Nong; the land's fertility was limited, and it was impossible to grow an unlimited supply.

But now, Xia Jing was also feeling uneasy.

Soon--

"The rain has stopped!"

The rainstorm came quickly and went quickly.

"Did he realize it wouldn't work and give up?"

But it didn't stop for long.

"Splash!"

The heavy rain started to drop again.

That's all.

Sometimes it stops, sometimes it descends.

The mindsets of Xia Jing, Chen Fang, Hu Bing, and Zhang Jie were also repeatedly tested.

Because if they really needed to consume the supplies grown by Agricultural Official, it would depend on the four of them; the other six couldn't offer much help.

The six people combined weighed less than 500 jin (250 kg), while the four of them had already eaten 1,800 jin (500 kg).

Although their lips were turning black and their heads were spinning, they hadn't reached their limit yet.

We have three days. If we eat slowly and use the Gluttony Art, there is still hope of solving the problem.

"Big brother, you really shouldn't plant anymore... Hmm? Great-grandmother?" Zhang Jie ate a Numbfish Fruit in his hand, then suddenly stood up. "Great-grandmother, how come you're still alive? Have you come to see me?... Your grandson is unfilial."

Liu Yongli looked at Zhang Jie, who was hugging him and wiping away tears, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Is this guy hallucinating from eating?

"Damn it, let go! I'm not your grandma!" Liu Yongli tried to shake him off, but Zhang Jie's strength was astonishing!

"Let me do it." Seeing this, the middle-aged doctor inserted an acupuncture needle into the back of Zhang Jie's head.

"Waaaaah..." Zhang Jie, who had been pricked with an injection, was still crying, but he unconsciously let go of her hand.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The thick needle pierced into different parts of Zhang Jie's body.

Zhang Jie quickly regained consciousness.

He saw his great-grandmother transformed into the martial arts master Liu Yongli.

The latter was wiping his snot off and looking at him with disgust.

"Commander Liu? Is it... is it you?" Zhang Jie was surprised and uncertain. He took two steps back, but found that his hands and feet were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"What kind of behavior is this, a grown man crying like this? Damn it, I can't shake him off, and he even got me all over myself..." Liu Yongli was speechless.

"I'm so sorry, Commander!" Zhang Jie apologized repeatedly. "I don't know what happened..."

"Your Gluttony Art for detoxification has run into problems. The toxins aren't being eliminated; instead, they're circulating to the Jingming Acupoint and Tianying Acupoint."

Suddenly, the middle-aged doctor pulled a needle from the back of Zhang Jie's head, and then, with a swift movement, removed two needles from Zhang Jie's brow.

"Huh? This..." Zhang Jie then realized that his head was covered in needles.

"Stop 'ah,' run a few steps and see." The middle-aged doctor put away the needles.

The medic's words were also an order, and Zhang Jie immediately started running.

However, after running only two steps, he fell to the ground with a thud.

"How... how did I fall?" Zhang Jie's head hit the rock, but the impact wasn't great; he was dazed but not seriously injured.

"You can't coordinate your strength effectively right now, and your control over your body is disrupted," the middle-aged doctor said. "This is because there are still some residual toxins in your body... Keep running, and as you fall, you'll expel them."

"625 pounds, that's a good result. I'll let you know when you've recovered so you can start Speed Eating Training again."

"Yes." Zhang Jie immediately got up and stumbled towards Wang Meng.

The heavy rain stopped, but the drizzle continued.

Zhao Xing landed back on the ground, Mystic Earth Art to sink into the earth and observe the Earth Vein.

"After my first planting, the Earth Vein's energy was strong in fire and metal, weak in earth and water, and suppressed in wood to meet my planting needs. Water nourished the earth to control fire, and metal was used to control the Earth Vein's energy to control fire. This situation is somewhat similar to the question I took back then."

Zhao Xing's current approach is the same solution he used during the initial examination for official appointments.

Theory is not learned in vain. Now that Zhao Xing is proficient in magic, if he did not understand the theories of various schools of thought, he would not know how to combine magic to quickly find a solution.

"The pond has dried up, and there is no source of water here, but there is water in the sky. I used Cloud Method to collect rain vapor, and the torrential rain first solved the problem of the weak water, raising it to a position similar to that of gold."

"Five hours is enough to achieve my expectations regarding the Earthly Advantage Institute." After observing for a while, Zhao Xing ended his stealth journey with satisfaction and returned to the surface.

As Zhou Ming watched Zhao Xing resurface, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. The assessment of the Agricultural Official's performance naturally required the presence of another Agricultural Official.

Zhou Ming was an Agricultural Master at the Celestial Timing Academy.

At first, he didn't know what Zhao Xing was planning, but when Zhao Xing was halfway through the operation, he figured it out.

Five hours later, the soil fertility recovered to the level of "slightly fertile," and Zhou Ming was already quite impressed with Zhao Xing.

"It only took five hours to restore the earth's energy, which would normally take twenty hours, making the most of the environment in this area. In my Celestial Timing Academy, I'm afraid only Shi Yong could have done that."

As Zhou Ming drank his wine, he couldn't help but sigh, "Such a promising talent, and they didn't even make it through the fourth round of selection? The Earthly Advantage Institute even managed to snag him!"

"Ge Jinsong and Cheng Qingming, one got Grade B and the other Grade C, they're really blind!"
