Until now, these three people seed to still not believe they had lost.
"How could I lose?" Cao Shuang looked at his hands, "Che Shihai is clearly weaker than , not to ntion the understanding of Dao, just this Grassman Skill, he used four Eighth-Transcension Profound Weapon Grassn and a Holy Shield Grassman to topple all six of my Nine-Revolution Grassn?"
"Could it be due to the compatibility of spells, or did I underperform?" Jiang Tianming also pondered, encountering a similar situation.
"Impossible. In terms of spell compatibility, Brother Cao, myself, and Brother Jiang all have slightly better compatibility than the opponents. Although not by much, it is still an advantage. It is absolutely impossible that we lost due to inferiority in this aspect." Han Bing rarely spoke so much, and a clear confusion appeared on his usually expressionless face.
"Then what was it? Could it be that we’re just bad, couldn’t handle the pressure, and underperford?"
"Mr. Zhao, can you see any clues?" Cao Shuang looked at Zhao Xing, considering Zhao Xing’s Grassman Skill was the strongest in the previous round.
Zhao Xing pondered for a mont and said, "It’s not because your psychological resilience was poor, that you couldn’t handle the pressure and underperford, nor because your spells were weak."
"It’s because you were able to form grassn but couldn’t effectively use them."
"Grassman Skill is different from other spells, have you seen martial artists practice with knives?"
"Being good with a single knife doesn’t an being good with dual knives. Carrying multiple knives on the body and actually using them, is even stronger."
Zhao Xing spoke persuasively, "Sword Cultivators in martial arts are strong, but why are they rarely seen? Because controlling multiple swords increases the burden, and Grassman Skill also has differences in control ability."
"Many people can practice Single Skill Grassn to the Nine Revolutions without issue, but in combat, each additional grassman increases the burden."
"So people are naturally more suited to this type of spell, while so are not."
"The appearance of spell compatibility actually solves this flaw. Utilizing one grassman in multiple ways reduces the burden, but achieving the unison of multiple skills is as challenging as controlling multiple Single Skill Grassn at once."
Ultimately, it cos down to talent.
Han Bing, Cao Shuang, and Jiang Tianming imdiately understood that in the path of Grassman Skill, they might find it hard to continue progressing.
As for Zhao Xing, looking at him, they guessed he was a "Grassman Talent."
During their idle chatter, the ninth match between Yu Hao and Li Jian concluded.
Yu Hao secured victory, and he was also in the top ten in the previous assessnt.
The tenth match was between Shi Yong and Yin Yang.
Zhao Xing watched Shi Yong’s battle.
In the end, Shi Yong won, and it was a swift victory.
"His dual Grassman Skills have reached the Nine Revolutions, combining them into a Divine Courage Giant Shield Grassman. Its individual effects are close to the Nine Revolutions." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "I wonder if this is his full power."
Shi Yong walked off the plaza, frowning slightly throughout the battle, seemingly contemplating sothing.
...
Quickly, the first round concluded, and the ten who lost received a fifth-tier reward of five thousand points.
Including the foundational points from earlier, these ten people could accumulate over six thousand points, which wasn’t considered little.
The remaining ten, Zhao Xing, Cai Jin, Zhuang Ziqing, Feng Qi, Wei Chen, Qian Guang, Wu Yue, Che Shihai, Yu Hao, and Shi Yong, continued to the second round of drawing lots for matches.
It was still a single-round elimination.
"Whiz whiz whiz~"
The tokens flew out, and the other nine quickly chose.
Zhao Xing leisurely waited for the last token to fly into his hand.
"This kid." Lu Bang couldn’t help but laugh, "Everyone else wants to know their opponent quickly, but Zhao Xing remains unhurried."
"He is confident, naturally showing a relaxed deanor. This is the state needed in battle." Liu Tianning admired Zhao Xing even more, "This boy can be a general; no wonder Fang Wu spoke so highly of him."
Zhao Xing took the token, which was still number one.
When he took it, a young man with prominent cheekbones and faint brows standing nearby sighed.
His na was Qian Guang, and he also held the number one token.
"Seems like I’ll only get the fifth to tenth-tier point rewards."
Qian Guang had defeated Guan Junyang in the previous round, but Guan Junyang’s Grassman Skill didn’t seem overwhelmingly strong to him.
Though Guan Junyang was formidable within the Nine-Section Dojo and even had a Seasonal Order Token cultivated to the Fourth Transition of the Knowledge Realm, this competition focused on the Self Sect’s Grassman Skill.
Qian Guang had a gift for this path, skillfully controlling six grassn in actual combat, defeating Guan Junyang despite weaker grassn levels due to his stronger Grassman Control Technique.
However, facing Zhao Xing this round, his newfound confidence wavered.
Look at Zhao Xing’s performance in the fourth and fifth rounds?
Single Skill Grassman competition, eighteen grassn, ranked first!
Multiple Skills competition, perfect dual skill grassn, ranked first!
Just look at how he fought Li Feng, and you’ll know he’s a veteran in using grassn.
His practical control skills must not be weak.
"No matter what, I’ve already secured eight thousand points."
"Forget about the result, just treat it as practice."
Under the pressure of Zhao Xing’s previous performance, Qian Guang closed his eyes and quickly regained a calm state of mind.
"First match, Zhao Xing versus Qian Guang, begin!"
Buzz~
As the barrier ford, at the mont it began, both pointed at the materials beside them, starting to cast spells.
The materials disappeared, but no grassn appeared.
Clearly, both based their setup on Invisibility Grassn, preparing the grassman puppets.
Qian Guang constantly watched Zhao Xing, needing to keep track of his movents to avoid being surprised by an incoming grassman.
As the first grassman ford, Qian Guang felt a bit more confident, seeing it was an "Invisibility Giant Shield Grassman."
The broad figure of the Giant Shield Grassman gave Qian Guang a sense of security.
But then he looked at Zhao Xing again and felt a stab of panic, as Zhao Xing’s materials were disappearing much faster.
Twice as fast!
This ant Zhao Xing’s grassn ford quicker, possibly having two already!
"Invisibility Grassman, go!"
After forming his first grassman, Qian Guang eagerly started a second Single Skill Invisibility Grassman and commanded it to attack.
In actual combat, winning through lawful ans wasn’t necessary. Qian Guang had a knack for Invisibility Grassn, forming them fastest.
Changing his previous strategy of amassing numbers, he began sneak attacks.
He knew it was hard to outnumber or outclass Zhao Xing.
Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps... only a hundred steps separated them.
The Invisibility Grassman crept toward Zhao Xing, who seed unaware, still focused on the materials.
"Could he just be for show?"
Qian Guang’s heart pounded, as the Invisibility Grassman neared Zhao Xing.
"Bang!"
The Invisibility Grassman punched Zhao Xing, sending him flying off the plaza.
"Won?!"
Qian Guang smiled, but the next mont realized sothing was wrong, as "Zhao Xing" dissipated upon falling off the plaza.
"Damn, it’s an Illusion Grassman!"
"When did he form an Illusion Grassman?!"
Qian Guang sensed trouble, wanting to move away.
But at that mont, a pair of arms wrapped around Qian Guang, holding him tight and starting to heat up.
"Oh crap, I surrender! I surrender!"
Qian Guang shouted.
You couldn’t bla Qian Guang for panicking, as being held by a Perfection-Level Suicide Explosive Grassman would scare anyone!
With the physique of the Minister of Agriculture, such an explosion would be fatal. Though Liu Tianning’s duel arena had protection asures, preventing death, why suffer unnecessarily?
"Zhao Xing wins." Liu Tianning’s voice echoed, and the red light surrounding Qian Guang dissipated, turning into materials scattered beside him.
"Papapapa~" Firecracker materials hit the ground, crackling, making the already shaken Qian Guang shiver and jump off the plaza quickly.
Qian Guang’s comical exit drew laughs, but the other contesting participants couldn’t laugh.
Qian Guang, who defeated Guan Junyang, couldn’t last a round against Zhao Xing, who then could?
...
The second match, Cai Jin versus Wu Yue, Cai Jin won swiftly.
The third match, Zhuang Ziqing versus Che Shihai, Zhuang Ziqing won swiftly.
The fourth match, Yu Hao versus Wei Chen, after a two-quarter stalemate, Yu Hao won.
From the matchup list, though seemingly random, it was clear Mr. Liu engaged in so covert manipulation, avoiding the strong clashing, letting strong face weak.
Since this concerned points rewards, it would be unfair if the weaker ones got higher points because of luck.
While everyone thought this, the fifth match between Shi Yong and Feng Qi shocked all.
Shi Yong versus Feng Qi, the final result, Feng Qi won!
