Chapter 734: Chapter 21: Comprehending Top-Level Earth Palace Skill, Kunyuan Academy’s Recruitment!_4

At this moment, the Gray Lion Dog, Xiaotian, still stood alert on the hill.

As for the Spiritual Illusion Goat and the Mountain Cat, they lay listlessly beside the three empty boxes.

"Come, let’s eat. Xiaotian, you come and eat too."

Upon hearing Zhao Xing announce that it was time to eat, the Mountain Cat and the Spiritual Illusion Goat immediately perked up, wagging their tails and opening their mouths.

Xiaotian descended gracefully from the hilltop.

Zhao Xing used the Pure Essence Projection, and three supply boxes appeared.

"Eat up."

Cat Master impatiently swung his paw to unlock the boxes, and the three battle beasts began to feast.

Zhao Xing wasn’t hungry yet, so he took out the Earth Mirror to check the recent activities.

First, the ’Poison Mist’ top-level skill cast by the Heavenly Time Sect had shrunk to the vicinity of Cangzhu Lake.

Seven supply palaces had already been swallowed; Zhao Xing turned to see that the mist was about three kilometers away from him.

Since it was now the seventh day, the poison mist’s speed had significantly increased. In one day, it would shrink from three kilometers to his current location.

Next was the matter of points.

Zhao Xing’s points had reached 148,000.

His rank had dropped from 23,000 to 33,000, a decrease of 10,000 places.

The point totals didn’t add up, which caught Zhao Xing’s attention.

"Logically, since the seventh day hasn’t ended, I should only have 60,000 survival points and 78,000 points from eliminating others, making a total of 138,000. Why is it 148,000?"

Zhao Xing carefully examined the Earth Mirror notifications and finally found a clue.

There was a reminder sent at noon two days ago.

[Beast Tamer ’Liu Zhong’ was on the brink of death due to lack of supplies and triggered the Canghai Order’s protection. He has been eliminated.]

[Liu Zhong and his battle beasts’ elimination also generated points, distributed among people in Liu Zhong’s area.]

[You received 10,000 points.]

"Oh? So that’s what happened." Zhao Xing realized.

Every participant had a Canghai Order, and once inside, there was no way to withdraw voluntarily. Only when facing imminent death would the protection mechanism allow them to leave.

In situations where one was eliminated due to starvation without entering combat, points were still generated and distributed to others.

The main focus of the Grand Arena was survival, given the harsh environment of the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

If one knew how to survive, they might gain benefits in the secret realm, even without participating in a single battle.

"This Liu Zhong was really unfortunate, losing his energy gradually due to lack of supplies, essentially starving to elimination. It must have been miserable."

Zhao Xing put away the Earth Mirror and looked at the distant poison mist, then at the Jiyuan Palace beneath his feet.

"In such an environment, if one is unlucky and misses out on supplies, they won’t be able to demonstrate their true strength."

When energy dropped below fifty percent, the power of spells and martial skills would be affected. The principle was simple: fighting on an empty stomach naturally lowered combat effectiveness.

If energy dropped below thirty percent, the power of spells and martial skills would be less than half of their original strength.

If energy dropped below twenty percent, one would move from weakness to a severely injured state.

Below ten percent, there would be a life-threatening danger.

"The Ministers of Agriculture created this extreme environment with top-level skills. Not a bit of energy could be absorbed, but rather, it got absorbed."

"This was already restraining the power of spells. If their full power were displayed, it would be a catastrophic disaster. Without being high-grade, no one would survive."

Reflecting on this, Zhao Xing longed even more to master top-level skills.

He had to master at least one top-level skill before Prince Liang’s rebellion, as both Pinghai State and East Sea would be filled with disasters by then.

Although Li Boqian stabilized quickly, this "quickly" was relative.

From historical records, Prince Liang’s rebellion was quashed in two and a half years, which was short in the grand scheme of history.

Two and a half years was indeed brief for high-ranking officials who often lived for hundreds of years.

But for common folk, a single day of such a catastrophe felt long.

"Prince Liang’s rebellion, with many high-grade Military Ministers of Agriculture under his command, would be disastrous if it spread."

Reflecting on this, Zhao Xing planned to find a new place to continue his enlightenment.

The three battle beasts finished eating and were licking their paws.

"It’s alright for the dog, but why are you licking your paws too?" Zhao Xing walked over and picked up the Spiritual Illusion Goat.

"Baa~" The Spiritual Illusion Goat squinted its eyes, and Zhao Xing saw a fawning look on its face.

"Alright, let’s go." Such habits were harmless, so Zhao Xing didn’t bother correcting them.

Overall, the three battle beasts could now follow orders, and he didn’t demand more in other aspects.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

One man and three beasts quickly flew toward the central area.

They soon left the Cangzhu Lake region.

Two hours later, Zhao Xing stopped at a barren stone mountain.

"Stone Rock Mountain Range, staying here will keep the poison mist at bay for at least twenty days." Zhao Xing opened the map and made an estimate.

He planned to act only after a month when the poison mist shrank rapidly. Searching for eliminations to gain points now was inefficient and might even backfire.

Zhao Xing believed he was unbeatable within his rank, but he wasn’t naive enough to think he was invincible at the fourth rank.

Without mastering top-level skills, who could claim invincibility at the fourth rank? Only someone like Liu Tianning at the fourth rank could make such a claim.

A supreme prodigy like him had cultivated in the fifth-rank for over a hundred years, with an unimaginably deep foundation.

The mere possession of seven top-level Dharma Bodies already put Lao Liu in an unbeatable position!

"Ao Tian, Xiaotian, dig a cave here."
