Shennong Dao Master Chapter 750 - 24: The Court’s Fate Officer and the Chosen So

On the third day of the second challenge, Zhao Xing continued to push through the levels.

Since he was alone, it wasn’t as quick as before while passing through the twenty-sixth city, taking him two hours to get through.

In the twenty-seventh city, the number of dragon species continued to increase, and their strength had fully escalated to third-rank, each one at third-rank, showcasing various innate secret techniques. Tackling the level single-handedly was truly not that simple.

Zhao Xing had no choice but to utilize his Ten Thousand Skill Avatar to reduce the wear and tear on his main body, using the avatars to distract the Dragon Beasts as he passed through at the Yin hour on the fourth day.

For the twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, and twenty-ninth cities, he also relied on the Ten Thousand Skill Avatar to divert attention and successfully cleared the levels.

After pushing through the levels, traveling, and the ti spent resting, it was now 11:15 AM on the fifth day.

Zhao Xing finally reached the front of the thirtieth city.

He scanned the crowd in front of him.

There were about a hundred and twenty people.

Having the Ten Thousand Skill Avatar to attract attention allowed his main body to pass through fairly quickly.

"Hmm? Why are Lei Ling, Leng Yue, and Xuan Feng still here?" Zhao Xing’s gaze landed on a hillside outside the city.

The top three experts, all still lingering there.

"Stuck? That shouldn’t be."

To Zhao Xing, the top three fighters should have been able to clear the levels within five days, or even sooner.

Why were they all injured?

Was the thirtieth city that difficult?

Zhao Xing shifted his gaze to the city.

"Three thousand Azure Dragon Soldiers, all third-ranked? If they form the Qi and Blood Battle Formation, that is indeed terrifying."

"It all depends on the commander’s strength now; if the commander is third-rank, then even second-rank might... What the fuck, Long Xiao?"

As Zhao Xing scanned the people on the city wall, he instantly recognized a familiar figure.

That man, carrying a golden greatsword, dressed in Azure Dragon Armor, wearing a Cloud Peak Helt, and standing in golden boots, was Long Xiao!

"Why is he guarding the checkpoint? He’s not even from the Water Clan."

"Oh, he’s Bai Mingchuan’s son-in-law. That makes sense."

Given Long Xiao’s talent, he must have made rapid progress over the years.

His leading the three thousand Azure Dragon Soldiers in guarding the city explained why these people were stuck.

"Here you co! Little brother, you finally made it!"

Long Xiao locked his gaze onto Zhao Xing’s figure, revealing a slight smile.

His previous thought was, ’If my brother doesn’t succeed, none of you shall pass!’

Long Xiao knew how much Zhao Xing wanted to secure a spot in the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

He certainly wanted to help him fulfill this wish.

Feeling Long Xiao’s gaze, Zhao Xing also looked up.

The two didn’t exchange words, rely looked at each other.

However, Zhao Xing understood the slight expressions on his face.

He did not hesitate, imdiately charging towards the city wall.

Seeing this, Xuan Feng spoke, "Brother, don’t try to tackle it alone, it’s easy to get hurt. Wait for more people and go together!"

At that mont, Xuan Feng was playing the role of a "lead brother."

Previously, he had stopped quite a few people.

Those who could reach here on the fifth day were all experts; gathering together was the only hope of clearing the challenge.

Zhao Xing ignored him.

Seeing that he disregarded the advice, Lei Ling snorted, "Another one seeking death."

"Let him be, we don’t need that many people anyway," said Leng Yue from the side.

Gabri and Fei She, not far away, watched gleefully.

Because the defender of this checkpoint was extrely strong.

So had previously even been heavily injured and disqualified.

Both had been outmatched by Zhao Xing before, so naturally, they were happy to see him act impulsively.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing charged onto the city wall, colliding with Long Xiao.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Thunder, Sword Qi, Fog Concealnt Technique, the surrounding Five Elents Power stirred up, making it impossible for anyone to see the battle scene.

Boom—

Thunder—

The ground shook and thunder roared.

To the unaware, it seed like a battle between two peerless powerhouses.

In reality, both were making much ado about nothing, using the fight as a chance to chat.

"Long Xiao, how did you end up as the defending army here?"

"Hehe, surprising, isn’t it?" Long Xiao swung a sword, which Zhao Xing casually swatted away.

"Those people outside the city, did you stop them?"

"Exactly! Bai Mingchuan stationed here with the task to hinder the challengers."

"I’ll let you pass now, and you’ll not only clear within five days but also earn five million points. I’ll continue to block the others," Long Xiao said.

"No way, if you’re so blatantly lenient, you’ll end up in prison upon your return," Zhao Xing said. "You can’t just let through like this."

"What should we do then? Is there anything I can help you with?" Long Xiao asked.

"You’ve already done enough. I am now on par with the leading group," Zhao Xing said, "Just treat the sa as everyone else from now on."

"Alright, I understand."

"What are the rules for defending?"

"For each extra day, the Azure Dragon Army reduces its forces by a hundred n. After five days, we drop by three hundred n every other day until eventually, I am the only one left defending."

"I see."

"How is Ao Tian?"

"All good, don’t worry."

"Good, then I know what to do."

Long Xiao slapped Zhao Xing, sending him flying out, and the Fog Concealnt also broke.

"Pfft—" Zhao Xing, unhard, pretended to be severely injured as he fell outside the city.

"Hahaha!" Gabri laughed loudly, "Truly overestimating your own abilities, thinking you could clear this level alone at fifth-rank?"

"Pity, why didn’t he just kill you," Fei She also taunted.

"Truly an idiot," Leng Yue scoffed as well.

Zhao Xing ignored these people and found a place to rest on his own.

However, Long Xiao heard all their mocking words loud and clear.
