Knowing Realm Fourth-Turn, Dripping Rain Defeats Feng Qiu!

Zhao Xing's two breaths and five techniques immediately astonished the onlookers, but the actual effect would only be known after the result.

Since Feng Qiu didn't take any additional action and continued to charge forward using Wind Art, it was clear that he was confident enough in his Wind Art.

Fifty meters away from him, an Astral Wind formed nine large blue swords.

The inner 20-meter section forms two concentric spheres, with the inner and outer spheres rotating in different directions.

Ten meters away, four more figures in blue, each wielding a large axe, followed.

Five meters in front of him, there were four vortexes of Astral Wind floating like nebulae. These were extremely dense Astral Wind, ready to be deployed at any time.

Because Zhao Xing controlled the Heavenly Timing, under the cover of clouds, Zhao Xing also saw the layers of arrangements made by Feng Qiu through the Five Elements Observation and Discern Minute Details.

Strong, extremely strong.

Feng Qiu truly lives up to Feng Qiu name; his Wind Art can almost be considered a unique skill.

It is comparable to the power of a high-level spell.

As Zhao Xing's Heavenly Frost descended, the nine large cyan swords on the outer perimeter immediately shot into the sky, breaking through the white aura net.

"Boom!"

The remaining white mist, upon landing on the cyan sphere, swirled in layers, crushing away all the Heavenly Frost.

Zhao Xing's first move was broken, but Feng Qiu was completely unaffected.

Next came the Heavenly Fire.

Heavenly Fire is composed of pure fire elemental power, and when it encounters wind, it should theoretically be fueled by the fire.

However, the Heavenly Fire was instantly extinguished upon landing.

The second layer of the method was broken.

The Wind Travel Art, which has broken through the limit of the Nine Turns, completely overwhelms the Seventh-Turn Heavenly Frost and Heavenly Fire.

"Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Frost cannot affect him. I want to borrow the power of heaven and earth, but there is a powerful entity in this world that is preventing me from gaining momentum."

"A single powerful technique can also influence the heavens and earth."

Zhao Xing felt his spell being broken, but he wasn't in a hurry.

The first two methods were broken, causing only minor trouble for Feng Qiu.

However, with the third method, the speed of the Feng Qiu was significantly reduced.

The third method is [Yin Wind].

Yin Wind rose from the ground, completely ignoring the protection of the nine swords and the double spheres of Feng Qiu, and blew into the area within ten meters.

At this moment, Feng Qiu frowned, and the four blue figures wielding large axes immediately slashed out.

However, a wisp of wind still managed to slip through the axe and blow towards Feng Qiu.

Yin Wind targets the soul directly, unless one has a soul-protecting treasure or knows Yin Wind magic.

Otherwise, normal methods simply cannot stop the Yin Wind from blowing.

Feng Qiu was relatively vigilant and immediately sent out four axe-wielding figures. When he saw that the four axe guards still couldn't stop them, he immediately realized that this was the Dark Wind Method.

Moreover, it's an extremely powerful Dark Wind Method!

He immediately summoned Yin Wind to counteract it, but there was no reaction from the ground.

The ten-meter distance would normally have provided ample Favorable Weather, but the absence of Yin Wind prevented Feng Qiu from casting a second spell.

"It's too late."

Feng Qiu immediately stopped and relied on his willpower to withstand the attack.

"Phew~"

Yin Wind entered his body, Feng Qiu felt as if he were seasick, as if the whole world was shaking, making him feel extremely nauseous and wanting to vomit.

"Feng Qiu has stopped!"

"What's wrong with him?"

"It stopped suddenly halfway through? It had already broken two of Zhao Xing's spells."

Why is this happening?

Those watching were all completely bewildered.

The Yin Wind was so well hidden, invisible and intangible, and it came from underground, so many people didn't know what was happening at first.

Among the reserve Agricultural Official, Li Feng was the first to react.

"Damn, he's using that trick again!"

Li Feng didn't need to look; he could guess why Feng Qiu stopped even with his eyes closed.

Feng Qiu's appearance was almost identical to when he was attacked outside the Ten Thousand Mile Thunder Pool.

"Feng Qiu clearly has Yin Wind, yet he didn't summon Yin Wind to protect himself? Zhao Xing is at least somewhat skilled; you can't be so careless."

Li Feng was somewhat anxious, as if he were fighting with Zhao Xing.

"Why don't you use Yin Wind Protection, Feng Qiu!"

"Feng Qiu also learned the Dark Wind Method. Although it is not as strong as his secret technique, the Heavenly Sword Four Divine Winds, it has still reached the Nine Turns."

"The main reason he can't generate the Yin Wind is that his Earthly Advantage Method is being suppressed."

Inside the Cloud Gate, Cen Sanji quietly looked down.

Beside him stood three young figures, Cen Sanji's students.

Although it's not one of the Four Great Academies, there are still advantages to becoming Cen Sanji's apprentice, namely, being able to watch battles between masters up close within the Cloud Gate.

Moreover, they also had Cen Sanji, a teacher, to explain things to them.

"Teacher, wasn't it said that Zhao Xing used the Two Breaths and Five Methods? When did he use the Earthly Advantage Method? And what kind of Earthly Advantage Spells was it?"

"The two breaths and five methods are not wrong, but his Mist-Hiding Art combines an Earth Palace Art."

Cen Sanji said, "It should be a perfect-level Boundless Earth Palace. This Earth Palace is pressed on the Earth Vein of the Wind Thunder Canyon, causing the Feng Qiu to be unable to generate Yin Wind defense, but it can generate it itself."

"The Yin Wind is perfected, Boundless Earth Palace is also perfected?" A dark-skinned, short-statured Agricultural Official was shocked. He had only just begun when he saw Zhao Xing display two perfected spells.

However, before they could ask any further questions, Feng Qiu started acting again.

The effects of the Yin Wind did not last long; within three breaths, Feng Qiu regained consciousness.

"I endure the daily baptism of Astral Wind; how could my will be easily shaken by mere Yin Wind!"

"Nothing can stop me from advancing to the third tier today!"

Feng Qiu's eyes were cold as he continued to charge forward. He was about to rush into the white mist, with thunderclouds already gathering above his head.

But give him three breaths, and he can bring down Zhao Xing.

Because the Astral Wind filled the entire canyon, there was no way to avoid them.

Swish~

The remaining 500 meters were covered in an instant, pressing the mist back.

"Whoosh~"

The onlookers outside erupted in uproar.

Not only did Feng Qiu stop, it actually turned around!

"Why is he rushing in the opposite direction? What kind of magic is this?" Peng Ran was stunned, completely bewildered by the situation.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yang Yang said helplessly. "If I knew, I wouldn't have lost before."

"No, look!" Yu Chunwu pointed to the left side of the Earth Mirror and said, "Fog has appeared here too, rising from underground!"

"Oh no, did Feng Qiu go in the wrong direction?!"

Martial Office and Fu Ying looked at the Earth Mirror and were startled.

"What's going on with Feng Qiu? It started off with such momentum, breaking through two spells in a row, but now it's not only stopped, it's even charging backward?"

"Damn it, bro, don't mess around like that!"

Fu Ying wished she could fly over and help Feng Qiu fight.

70,000 points!

If Feng Qiu loses, his Tigron Army brothers will suffer a huge loss.

He himself is on the verge of bankruptcy.

After all, he contributed the majority of those 70,000 points!

"Zhao Shennong awesome!" Chen Fang clenched his fist and exclaimed inwardly.

Why did they support Xia Jing's bet?

The confidence didn't come from Xia Jing, but from Zhao Xing himself!

I spent a month with Zhao Xing during the [Supply Training] period.

While farming, Zhao Xing also honed his magical skills. Since the martial artists were not far away, they were able to see Zhao Xing's training.

It was around that time that they sensed Zhao Xing's extraordinary abilities. His magical skill level changed almost every day, a level of progress that most people could only achieve.

Little did they know that even the judge Zhou Ming publicly praised Zhao Xing and even wanted to learn the law from Zhao Xing!

"Feng Qiu is going to die on the way to the charge." Zhuang Ziqing shook his head as he watched the battle. "He's been bewitched by Zhao Xing's magic."

"The Boundless Earth Palace gathered the mist and emerged from the other end of the canyon. After being affected by the Yin Wind, his body turned around and he experienced the 'illusion of flying backward.' He thought he was still rushing forward, but from the observer's perspective, he was actually rushing backward."

"This is the drawback of specializing in one type of magic. It's not obvious when dealing with ordinary people, but it becomes magnified when facing a master like Zhao Xing. I didn't expect Zhao Xing's combat experience to be even richer than Feng Qiu's..."

Zhuang Ziqing was energized and all sleepiness vanished.

Without a doubt, Feng Qiu's choice was correct. He seized the Heavenly Timing as soon as he entered the battlefield and went straight for Zhao Xing. His decision was the right one.

Because once Zhao Xing Supporting Cloud, all the other techniques except the Wind Art Time Law have an advantage, and his vital energy can be restored, but this is not the case with Feng Qiu.

Feng Qiu could only defeat Zhao Xing quickly with Wind Art Wind Travel Art and take him down in one fell swoop. This was not because Feng Qiu looked down on Zhao Xing, but because this was his consistent fighting style.

He's the kind of person who can make a living with just one skill.

But this trick is no longer working.

"Zhao Xing used the Two Breaths and Six Techniques to put pressure on Feng Qiu. He didn't even have time to raise the Yin Wind before he started rushing forward," Cen Sanji said.

"By the time I remember, I can no longer get up."

"Zhao Xing's combination of spells can be described as masterful. The use of Heavenly Frost and Heavenly Fire was not for nothing. It was entirely to attract Feng Qiu's attention in the sky and cover up the movements of the Earthly Advantage Method."

"Feng Qiu's reaction is not slow, but he lacks effective countermeasures. If he can't react in time, he will lose the battle before he can even touch Zhao Xing Feng Qiu."

Crossing the boundary means defeat, and at this moment, Feng Qiu forced the white mist to rush forward, quickly reaching the end of the canyon. If it went another hundred meters, Feng Qiu would cross the boundary on its own.

"The Dark Wind Method shakes the mind, the Earth Palace Art gathers the mist, creating a simple 'flying backwards illusion,' and Feng Qiu is on the verge of being eliminated!"

"He was actually selected and transferred here right after being promoted from a junior official? His combat talent is just too strong." Cen Sanji, the Nine Section Shennong, couldn't help but cheer for Zhao Xing in his heart.

"It's a wonder the Celestial Timing Academy didn't want such a talented person. The nicknames 'Cheng the Blind' and 'Ge Wuzhu' were truly well-deserved."

Wind Thunder Canyon.

Zhao Xing floated in the mist, quietly watching the Feng Qiu recede into the distance.

As the Feng Qiu impacted the mist he created, he also sensed the changes his spells brought about by the Feng Qiu's influence.

"At the beginning of Start of Spring, the east wind thaws the ice; the warmth of the sun arrives and the frozen ice dissipates, and a thick fog rises."

"The wind of Feng Qiu blows through the canyon, just like the first thaw of winter, which actually enhances the power of my [Mist Concealment]."

"Frost and fog gather, and the killing intent of the flying warriors intensifies. Although the Heavenly Frost has been dispelled, it has fueled the Dark Wind Method, causing the fighting spirit of the Feng Qiu warriors to be fully ignited."

"The various phenological changes in the Solar Terms Decree follow the laws of heaven and earth. My magic techniques are in accordance with these laws, so their power naturally increases."

"All living things exist within this principle. Although it is only Phenology Art, not Transformation of Seasons Art, it has an impact on Feng Qiu. Small influences accumulate and produce great effects."

Zhao Xing vaguely understood something and gained a deeper understanding of borrowing the power of heaven and earth.

Seeing that Feng Qiu was about to step out of bounds, he took the initiative to remove the fog.

He didn't want Feng Qiu to lose so quickly, because it was a rare practice opponent. The current 1 point of progress could be lost at any time. If it ended and was interrupted, he might have to find a suitable opportunity again.

"Huh? They've dispersed. Is the battle over?" Feng Qiu thought Zhao Xing had been forced out of the boundary, but after waiting for two breaths, he was not moved out.

Feng Qiu's expression changed, and he turned around abruptly, his eyes showing disbelief.

"What's going on? Why is there fog behind me too!"

"I... I went the wrong way? How... how could this be!"

Feng Qiu was stunned. Could the Dark Wind Method really have such a significant impact on him?

"Kill!"

Feng Qiu didn't know what had happened, but he understood that the battle wasn't over yet, and if it wasn't over, then they would have to do it again.

No matter what kind of influence it may have, it is all illusory before my Tenth-Turn Wind Art!

Tenth-Turn versus Nine Turns, the advantage is mine!

"Boom!"

The winds around Feng Qiu became even more violent, surging and rushing like a burst dam, with astonishing force.

"Heavenly Frost! Heavenly Fire! Yin Wind!"

Zhao Xing continued to use the three methods of Heavenly Frost, Heavenly Fire, and Yin Wind to obstruct Fengqiu.

The second time he used the three spells, their power was even greater because the Heavenly Timing in the Wind Thunder Canyon had changed imperceptibly, becoming more suitable for Zhao Xing's battle and enhancing the power of his spells.

Unable to summon Yin Wind from underground for defense, Feng Qiu broke through Heavenly Frost and Heavenly Fire, but was once again affected by Yin Wind.

When he came to his senses, Feng Qiu looked around and found himself surrounded by fog again.

In the mist ahead, a figure flickered, seemingly Zhao Xing hiding among them.

"Hmph, this is definitely fake, you can't fool me!"

Feng Qiu immediately changed direction and attacked from behind.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Nine cyan swords shot into the mist, while at the same time, the double-layered sphere rotated, attempting to pull the mist upwards.

Zhao Xing stood at the other end, watching Feng Qiu attack desperately. The Mist-Hiding Art on the other end was quickly dispelled by Feng Qiu.

But when the fog rolled back in, it became easier.

Zhao Xing looked up at the sky, then looked down at every part of the Wind Thunder Canyon, as if Feng Qiu no longer existed.

"The Third-Turn of the Knowing Realm allow one to borrow the power of heaven and earth to enhance the power of magic. Heavenly Fire is born at the Start of Summer, Heavenly Frost is born at the Frost Descent, and Mist Concealment is born at the Start of Spring. These three magics are not from the same season, but they are connected to each other. My magic realm has not improved, but the power of my magic has become stronger."

"When the forces of heaven and earth accumulate to a certain degree, changes will occur. Within the laws of heaven and earth, nothing—humans, beasts, or things—can escape them."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and pointed.

"Call out!"

Golden Light suddenly appeared above Feng Qiu's head, and all the mist suddenly contracted and condensed, turning into a Dripping Rain.

Caught off guard, Feng Qiu looked at the raindrops in the sky as if sensing something, his pupils dilating instantly.

The seemingly ordinary raindrops fell.

It easily crushed the nine cyan greatswords and also collapsed the double-layered sphere.

"How is that possible!" Feng Qiu exclaimed angrily.

He fought against the raindrop with all his might, and the spinning sphere reappeared.

But the tiny raindrops seemed to possess immense power; after only a slight resistance upon contact, the sphere still collapsed.

Four axe-wielding figures in blue instantly rushed up and slashed at the raindrops.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

The azure figure seemed to freeze in time before dissipating into chaotic Astral Wind.

Unstoppable!

Nine Swords Four Gods were broken

Only one move left.

"The Wind Devours the World!"

The four vortexes of Astral Wind in front of Feng Qiu instantly merged into one, forming a vortex powerful enough to sweep across the entire canyon, centered on Feng Qiu.

But before it could spread, the raindrops had already fallen.

"Bang!"

The storm emanates a shockwave centered on the Feng Qiu.

Cen Sanji's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this.

Each time First-Turn, its power and effectiveness have a generally accepted base value.

Feng Qiu exerted all his strength, and this move had reached the Eleventh-Turn level! Its power was comparable to a high-level First-Turn spell.

However, this also drained Feng Qiu's vital energy, because his Dao had not reached this level. Instead, he relied on his vital energy to gather the power of the wind and pile it up, causing the power of the 'technique' to break the limit! It's like many third-tier Firecracker Bamboo piled together, whose destructive power is comparable to a section of fourth-tier Firecracker Bamboo.

Of course, it's not easy to do this, and some people can't do it even if they want to.

Can Zhao Xing withstand such a move that pushes the limits?

The raindrops finally dissipated, and even the mist surrounding Zhao Xing dissipated.

However, Zhao Xing remained standing. Although the Guardian Barrier around him lit up, he did not suffer any fatal injuries.

"Feng Qiu, you've gone astray," Zhao Xing said calmly. "The Eleventh-Turn Wind Art is indeed powerful, but it's not the true path."

With a flick of the finger, the fog reappeared, and then a raindrop condensed.

This time the raindrops were even faster; as soon as they condensed, they appeared three meters in front of Feng Qiu.

"Go back and study the three great secret texts carefully. Don't just focus on practicing techniques, and especially don't just delve into Wind Travel Art. Otherwise, you'll only ever reach the Sixth Rank in your lifetime."

That's all I have to say; raindrops crashed against Feng Qiu's chest.

Amidst Feng Qiu's desperate and shocked gaze, a burst of Golden Light emanated from his body.

Buzz~

The next moment, Feng Qiu and Zhao Xing disappeared into the Wind Thunder Canyon.

The battle for advancement.

Zhao Xing wins!

Feng Qiu, defeated!

"Boom!" Upon seeing this scene, the countless spectators in front of the Earth Mirror were immediately in an uproar!

Thanks to the guild leader 'Yellow Sand Crossing Du Yun', that's a really good ID, it even includes the location and has a desolate feel to it, hahaha. Your cameo role will definitely be arranged later!

Anyone interested in playing a minor role can leave a message in the book review section. I'm currently struggling to come up with a title, so it would be best if you could include your own background story and character traits to give the author some inspiration.

It seems I'm now five chapters behind, I'll try my best to make up for it this month!

Thank you everyone for correcting the typos. I'll post it now and fix it when I wake up!
