Transformation of Seasons Art, Swine Transformation Art? Feng Qiu Battles Zhao Xing!

"It's Feng Qiu," Yang Yang said. "This is also Feng Qiu's second qualifying match. If we win, we'll advance; if we lose, we'll have to win again."

"It's him?" Yu Chunwu said, "Feng Qiu was ranked fifth last time, and he was pulled down by Zhao Xing by so many points. There's nothing to watch."

"Feng Qiu was only Grade B student at the Celestial Timing Academy at first, and he was only promoted last time."

"You Rising Wind too much." Peng Ran shook his head. "Supply Training is not combat, and the two are different."

"When Feng Qiu reported on it, he was ranked third, only after Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing. In the internal selection of the Tigron Army, he also lost to Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing."

"I heard from the Tigron Army's friends that Feng Qiu got the Grade B in the branch exam because his performance at Thunder Art Pass was mediocre."

"But his mastery of Wind Art is truly astonishing!"

"He was obsessed with the Way of Wind, and before coming to the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, he already possessed a Wind Art that had reached the Tenth-Turn!"

"Hiss, Tenth-Turn?" Yu Chunwu, He Yu, and Yang Yang all gasped.

Tenth-Turn spell means that it has already broken through the limit. In terms of mastery of this mid-level spell, even the founder is not Feng Qiu.

Of course, the founders of intermediate-level spells vary in strength.

Some mid-level spells were created by first-rank masters, and the spells they created were particularly powerful. For example, the Devouring Cloud Art was created by ancient sages, and to this day, no one has been able to improve the Devouring Cloud Art to perfection. Nine Turns of perfection is already the limit.

Some mid-level spells were created by people who were only at the Ninth Grade, and their power was also weaker.

Of course, those that are promoted by the imperial court are generally quite strong, and it is difficult to make further progress.

"After the division of the academy, Feng Qiu was still obsessed with the Way of Wind. He only cultivated other methods up to the Seventh-Turn and then stopped practicing them, continuing to study the Wind Art."

"His specialization in one type of magic has made his Wind Art extremely terrifying. The teachers at the Celestial Timing Academy all say that among this year's reserve Agricultural Official, Feng Qiu is undoubtedly the best in terms of Wind Travel Art alone!" Peng Ran said. "In this round of battle, Feng Qiu probably has a better chance of winning."

"No, I think Feng Qiu is too focused on one spell. The Eighth Grade Spirit Bridge Realm is meant to broaden the scope of spells, not to delve into their depth. Combining multiple spells will result in greater power. He is focused on one Wind Travel Art. Even if he reaches the Tenth-Turn, so what?" He Yu said, indicating that he was on Zhao Xing's side.

"I said Feng Qiu's Wind Travel Art is powerful, but I didn't say it's unorthodox. I heard from a friend that most of his spells are above the Seventh-Turn. If his other spells can reach the Seventh-Turn, they can't be considered weak," Peng Ran argued. "If they're not weak, having one outstanding spell is the key to victory."

"Stop arguing," Yu Chunwu interrupted, seeing the two about to quarrel. "The truth will be clear at a glance. Watch the battle."

Inside the dojo, on the preparation platform.

"My accumulated insights have reached a critical point, and I don't know how to break through this hurdle." Zhao Xing opened his eyes and took a long breath.

The progress of the Solar Terms Decree is currently at the Third-Turn of the Knowing Realm" for both " Start of Spring " and " Start of Summer ".

It's only 1 point away from reaching the maximum value.

But this one point involves two levels.

The Third-Turn, using the Solar Terms Decree, only enhance the power of the spell and gain the home field advantage.

However, the Third-Turn, the Solar Terms Decree themselves, is very powerful! Because it involves phenological changes, mastering the "Transformation of Seasons Art".

"When one reaches the Fourth-Turn of the Knowing Realm of the Solar Terms Decree, one has a basic grasp of the mysteries of the changes in the three types of phenomena: humans, objects, and animals, and can then apply the methods of observing these changes."

"While we may not be able to achieve the complete transformation that occurs in nature, even mastering a part of it is quite astonishing."

How amazing was the Transformation of Seasons Art?

Legend has it that during the reign of Grand Ancestor, Wu Cheng, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, was leading an army to conquer a thousand states, including one called 'Ancient Han'.

When Wu Cheng arrived, the Ancient Han monarch opened the gates and surrendered. However, after Wu Cheng left, he broke his promise and ordered 100,000 imperial guards to attack the territory of Grand Ancestor of Zhou.

Grand Ancestor and ordered Wu Cheng to go and suppress the rebellion, thus giving the Ancient Han a second chance. As a result, the Ancient Han king surrendered once again.

Three years later, they rebelled again.

This retrial directly angered Wu Cheng, even before the Grand Ancestor issued an order.

He went alone to the capital of Ancient Han and implemented the method of changing the seasons.

In a single day, the Ancient Han, tycoons, and nobles, along with 100,000 imperial guards, were all turned into pigs!

Wu Cheng originally did not intend to kill anyone to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the Grand Ancestor; he only intended to teach them a lesson and then turn them back to normal after seven days.

What was unexpected was that the people of the country had long been dissatisfied with the monarch's tyranny and the rampant corruption of the wealthy.

Upon learning the news, they immediately rushed into the palace and slaughtered the Ancient Han and nobles, who had been turned into pigs. The bodies were then eaten by the people.

The power of climate change is terrifying.

Zhao Xing recalled this story and couldn't help but sigh.

After Wu Cheng implemented the method of adapting to changing circumstances, it was once given a different name: the Swine Transformation Art.

Shout again? Shout again and I'll turn you into a pig and eat you!

"The Transformation of Seasons Art is divided into internal and external training, which can be used for the enemy or for oneself."

"The lunar calendar has seventy-two pentads, corresponding to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. Each solar term has three pentads. The Transformation of Seasons Art is also known as the seventy-two transformations."

"However, the Seventy-Two Transformations Art also have risks. If one is out of control, it can never be reversed."

"The 'Creation Daoist Academy' among the Seventy-Two Dao Academies once created something terrifying when using death row inmates as objects of its spells. During the reign of Wen Emperor, it was once forbidden for officials below the Fourth Grade to conduct such research."

"Things are alright now, but during Wu Emperor's reign, everything became unrestrained again."

As for the Transformation of Seasons Art of animals and creatures, there are not so many rules.

Furthermore, before reaching the third level of the Solar Terms Decree, the Transformation of Seasons Art is also time-limited, so even if you want to cause trouble, you can't.

In summary, the Transformation of Seasons Art is a powerful category of magic that comes with mastering the Solar Terms Decree.

Putting aside those uses that are against nature, it is quite good for raising exotic beasts.

"If I reach the Fourth-Turn, even if I only learn the basics, they will be incredibly useful." Zhao Xing took out the Earth Mirror, preparing for his advancement battle.

A short while later, a notification came from the Earth Mirror.

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army, you have been randomly matched against 'Feng Qiu' (Tigron Army).]

The randomized environment is "Wind Thunder Canyon".

[The battle will begin in sixty breaths. Please prepare yourself.]

"Feng Qiu? He's also in the promotion battle." Zhao Xing recalled that cold face. He had heard of the Grade A genius.

While other geniuses are somewhat arrogant, they are still within the normal range. But Feng Qiu is definitely aloof and arrogant.

He rarely socialized, and in public, he would only exchange a few words with top-ranked geniuses in the Tigron Army, such as Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing.

"I heard that his Wind Art is very strong. He already had Tenth-Turn spell before Grotto-Heaven, while my Lesser Nine Heavens Astral Wind spell is only at the Eighth-Turn."

"He is devoted to one discipline, so he is particularly strong in that discipline. His Wind Art is known as the best among the reserve forces."

He's a formidable opponent, but that's precisely why he's so effective at training!

"I hope Feng Qiu can put enough pressure on me."

Zhao Xing put away the Earth Mirror and waited for the battle to begin.

On another preparation platform, a young man dressed in a blue raincoat with a cold expression also opened his eyes.

"Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army?"

"It's his turn in line."

A fighting spirit ignited in Feng Qiu's eyes.

"When the report was published, he was only ranked 29th. I didn't take him seriously at all. I didn't expect him to improve so quickly."

"However, training is training, and it's a completely different thing from actual combat."

"Before challenging Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing, I'll use you as practice!"

Feng Qiu put away the Earth Mirror and stood up.

"Feng Qiu and Zhao Xing are facing off." Zhuang Ziqing was not at the training ground at this time, after all, he had already completed this selection training, but he was still paying attention to the movements of the other geniuses, especially Feng Qiu in his own army, as well as the geniuses of the Earthly Advantage Institute.

Zhuang Ziqing yawned. He hadn't slept for three days and three nights. Ever since he was provoked by Zhao Xing, he had been in a "rolling up" mode, spending every day either training or on his way to training.

By today, he was feeling quite exhausted and planned to sleep for three hours before resuming his training. However, upon seeing the battle between Feng Qiu and Zhao Xing, he decided not to sleep for the time being.

"Watch it first, then go to sleep." Zhuang Ziqing had fought Feng Qiu before, but he had no idea about Zhao Xing's actual combat ability.

The upcoming match between Feng Qiu and Zhao Xing immediately attracted widespread attention from the reserve members of the Agricultural Supervisorate.

After all, among these more than 10,000 reservists, Zhao Xing Feng Qiu were among the top performers.

Zhao Xing, in particular, has ranked in the top three many times, but has yet to truly demonstrate his outstanding combat capabilities.

[Lawless Training] That doesn't count. How can it be counted if it's martial arts?

So when Zhao Xing Feng Qiu collided.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the Agricultural Supervisorate.

"Both Feng Qiu and Zhao Xing are in a crucial match for advancement, watch quickly!"

"The second genius of the Celestial Timing Academy versus the second genius of the Earthly Advantage Institute!"

"Damn, who are you calling second? My brother Zhao is number one in the Earthly Advantage Institute, isn't he? He beat Zhuang Ziqing last time!"

"Feng Qiu has maintained a winning streak, without a single loss, and Zhao Xing is the same!"

"If these two were to meet, who would win?"

The Agricultural Supervisorate is engaged in heated discussions.

Even on the Martial Office side, Xia Jing and Fu Ying took out their Earth Mirror to take a look.

Fu Ying was still shouting from the Martial Office:

"The betting has started! My Tigron Army's Feng Qiu is betting against the Divine Might Army's Zhao Xing. Anyone interested in betting? I'm on Feng Qiu, starting at 10 points."

"Brother Fu, if you side with Feng Qiu, who's going to bet with you? If you're so capable, why don't you side with Zhao Xing!"

"Don't look down on him," Fu Ying said. "Zhao Xing was ranked second last time. I sided with Feng Qiu purely because he's from the Tigron Army. It would be wrong for me to side with Zhao Xing."

"I'll handle this." Just then, Xia Jing walked over with a group of people. "Fu Ying, what's the highest you can take?"

"Oh?" Fu Ying asked with a smile, "How much do you want to bet?"

"It's no fun with less, at least 10,000 points, or more if you can take on more." Xia Jing pointed to the person next to her, "I can raise more."

"Oh?" Fu Ying raised an eyebrow and immediately shouted, "Where is the Tigron Army? Anyone willing to join me in capturing Feng Qiu?"

"I'll bet 500 points!"

"I'll bet 300 points!"

"Me too, 1000 points!"

"..."

The Four Great Martial Offices have a large number of members, all of whom are geniuses with many points.

Fu Ying quickly accumulated over 70,000 points!

"Xia Jing, I have 70,000 here, do you want to take it?"

Xia Jing glanced at Zhang Jie, Hu Bing, Chen Fang, and the others behind him.

Fu Ying originally thought that Xia Jing's side would waver, after all, they had 70,000 points, which was quite a big deal. But she didn't expect Chen Fa, Hu Bing, and Zhang Jie to be so firm in their stance.

Where did their confidence come from? Fu Ying was somewhat puzzled.

"Catch!"

"Okay." Xia Jing had already said it, Fu Ying couldn't back down.

In just a few words, a large bet was settled.

At this moment, the Earth Mirror also displayed a specific image.

The battle has begun.

Wind Thunder Canyon is a rather unique map.

Inside, Astral Wind blow and thunder roars overhead.

It is three kilometers long, but only fifty meters wide.

Both sides are smooth cliffs, and the ground is covered with Accumulated Water and rocks.

Zhao Xing Feng Qiu appeared at opposite ends of the canyon.

The two were two kilometers apart, and each had only five hundred meters behind them.

There's not much room to retreat; if you step out of bounds, you'll still lose.

"Whoosh~"

As soon as the barrier around the preparation platform opened, Feng Qiu rode the Astral Wind and charged toward Zhao Xing.

"Hmm? That's fast."

Fengqiu did not send clouds, firstly because he knew Zhao Xingyun's methods were domineering, and secondly because he felt there was no need to support the clouds.

Charge in, cast a spell, knock down the enemy, and win.

What's the point of Supporting Cloud?

"I used to use this method to attack people, and now Feng Qiu is using the same method against me." Zhao Xing sneered, "You use this method to bully noobs, and now you're using it against me? You don't take me, the second-best, seriously at all."

"Swallowing Clouds!"

"Mist Concealment!"

"Yin Wind!"

Zhao Xing, having waited in comfort, swiftly unleashed three spells.

The environment of the Wind Thunder Canyon can be utilized; Zhao Xing's Cloudcalling quickly devours the thunderclouds above.

Feng Qiu also borrowed the Astral Wind; as he charged forward, almost all the Astral Wind in the canyon was directed towards him.

At this moment, a rare scene appeared in Wind Thunder Canyon: the canyon, which was originally a mix of blue and purple, became clearly distinct!

The cyan colors gathered towards the direction of the Feng Qiu, while the purple colors all converged into the clouds above Zhao Xing's head.

As soon as the two entered the battlefield, they quickly seized the advantage of Heavenly Timing.

In terms of initial combat awareness and ability, the two sides are evenly matched.

However, Zhao Xing still had the upper hand in the second move.

Because he didn't charge forward, while Feng Qiu needed time to get there, Zhao Xing used two more spells.

"Heavenly Frost!"

A layer of white mist descended from the sky like a blanket, carrying a cold aura as it moved towards the blue net. This action demonstrated Zhao Xing's skillful use of the spell [Heavenly Frost].

The blue wind was instantly covered with a layer of white, and its speed decreased slightly.

"Heavenly Fire!"

Zhao Xing pointed again, and the fire elemental power above the canyon was instantly drained, condensing into clusters of flames that flew towards Feng Qiu.

"Two breaths, four techniques—what astonishing control!" Peng Ran, watching the battle from Cloud Gate, suddenly narrowed his eyes. "I know about Heavenly Fire, but what kind of Time Law is that White Net? I've never seen it before!"

"And those clouds of his, aren't they a bit strange? How come they stretch all the way into the canyon?"

"You're wrong, it's two breaths and five techniques, the one in the canyon isn't the Cloud Method," Yang Yang said excitedly. "I asked Zhao Xing, it's the [Mist Shadow] Technique... Hehe, that's it, that's it! With all five techniques unleashed, Feng Qiu might be in for a big surprise this time!"

This is the second update. There will be a third update, but it will probably be quite late. Don't wait, read it tomorrow morning.
