Although the two were surprised, they had no choice but to sit down at this time, not daring to disrupt the examination order.
They couldn't help but worry, if this continued, their own students would suffer a hidden loss!
"The Earth Vein Comprehensive Origin's concealment is high; even I only noticed it on the second day. Xiao Ze is probably still in the dark," Tang Wanchun thought to himself. "Zhao Xing, what a Zhao Xing. Old Si Nong's words were true; he truly has excellent Comprehension Ability."
Earth Advantage Spells are the most difficult to learn among the three types of Spells.
Heavenly Timing Spells, after all, involve heavenly timing and celestial phenomena, which can be seen, heard, and felt.
Earth Advantage Spells involve earth veins, Feng Shui phases, formation deployment, and even require tools, making them extremely complex.
Leaving aside the rest, earth veins are deeply hidden underground; how difficult is it to utilize them?
Although Earth Vein Comprehensive Origin is a basic Spell, its difficulty surpasses many intermediate Spells.
One reason why Heavenly Timing Spells are so prevalent is that the Spells of the other two schools are more difficult to master.
Even these ranked Si Nong Officials do not master many Earth Advantage Spells, let alone being proficient in them.
"What a pity, to be under Xue Wenzhong for nothing," Pang Yuan also felt a bit of regret. "Xue Wenzhong is old and frail; what does he need such a good student for? It would be better if I taught him; he would have someone to look out for him in the officialdom in the future."
Gao Linong did not speak; he was secretly gloating.
Because his students, Li Chengfeng and Zong Shichang, were not affected and performed at their expected level.
As for the students of other officials? Naturally, the worse their results, the better.
Even the ranked Si Nong Officials took a while to discern it, so the clerks below were even more confused about the situation.
Coupled with the fact that the Earth Vein Comprehensive Origin was not activated during the day, causing everyone's Spell effects to return to normal, the minds of those affected clerks became a muddled mess.
"Could it be that choosing plants that are easy to grow at night will be considered cheating and lead to special treatment?" Huang Tao's eyes were red as he looked at the patch of dead plants in front of him.
His friend Ma Wu also had a bitter expression: "If that's the case, they shouldn't have given us these seeds to choose from! Isn't this just purely messing with us?"
Huang Tao couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn Chen Shijie! I've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes, choosing an official under him."
The discussion between the two squatting in the seedling area immediately resonated with the other clerks.
Because Chen Shijie usually liked to play tricks with the exam questions; to put it plainly, he liked to make things difficult for people.
"Brother Huang is right, Chen Shijie is always up to these tricks. During the Minor Heat assessment last time, he did the same thing."
"He even specifically brought magpies from Xishan. Look, is this something a human would do?"
"I changed seeds again and again, and after one night, I had nothing!"
"Exactly, damn Xishan old man!"
The topic opened up, and the victims immediately resonated, all taking turns to vent their anger at Chen Shijie.
Mainly because this big shot's consistent style was like this.
Although Xue Wenzhong set the question, everyone wouldn't believe that such a good person as the Old Si Nong would come up with such a malicious trick to make things difficult for them.
This alteration must have been arranged by Chen Shijie! Even the King of Heaven would agree it was him!
If Chen Shijie were present, he would surely beat them up and loudly declare, "This time, it really wasn't me."
However, he was destined not to hear these curses.
Did anyone suspect Zhao Xing?
Yes, some did.
As Huang Tao turned back to his planting area, looking at that golden bamboo forest, he couldn't help but feel a doubt.
"Could it be that someone cast an Earth Advantage Spell, causing us to have nothing?"
"Could it be him?"
Huang Tao glanced, then looked towards the Seven Star Sword Cloud and Tiger Head Cloud to the north: "Or could it be them?"
"Forget it, overthinking is useless."
Huang Tao shook his head.
Even if it was, what could he do? He couldn't beat them, so was he going to talk them to death?
"The clerks of this generation are too weak. To accelerate the ripening of the Vajra Bamboo, I already activated 100% of the effect at Yin hour, yet no one dared to challenge me?"
"It truly has been peaceful for too long," Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The Si Nongs he had seen in his previous life, excluding players, were all capable and daring.
They all possessed a strong, fearless spiritual will; without such a spirit, they would not have been able to seize opportunities to survive in the face of terrifying natural disasters and turbulent eras.
But this period was truly different. Excluding the border counties and military Si Nongs, most of the Si Nongs in the inland areas gave him a feeling of weakness.
Of course, Chen Shijie was an exception.
He still very much suited Zhao Xing's taste.
"I don't need to guard against the mediocrities below the A-list; they can neither contend nor dare to contend. However, I still need to guard against those few who have repeatedly achieved A+," Zhao Xing looked around and began to cut the branches of the Vajra Bamboo.
He always acts with foresight, and this does not conflict with being daring.
Since he dared to use the Earth Vein Comprehensive Origin, he was prepared for a counterattack.
Zhao Xing had already prepared the Materials and made straw men as soon as the Vajra Bamboo ripened.
"Currently, I know four types of straw men: Divine Movement, Entanglement, Thorns, and Recovery."
"The Recovery straw man is a third-rank, while the others are first-rank."
Zhao Xing looked at the dozen or so golden, imposing Recovery straw men hidden in the bamboo forest, like golden warriors.
"Using Vajra Bamboo Materials to practice making other types of straw men is a bit wasteful. Only the Recovery straw man barely deserves this material, but there are even more suitable ones."
"Liu Chuan's Eighty-One Methods, Great Strength straw man!"
"The branches of the Vajra Bamboo are excellent Materials for making it," Zhao Xing saw that things were temporarily peaceful, so he began to try making the fifth type of straw man.
Liu Chuan's Eighty-One Methods is an interpretation of 【All Plants Are Soldiers】. Straw man is just a common term; any Spell made from plant, wood, or bamboo branch Materials is categorized under straw man Spells.
However, for Zhao Xing, the straw man made from Vajra Bamboo was habitually called the Great Strength Vajra.
Similarly, there were Divine Movement Vajra, Recovery Vajra, and so on.
The method of making them was already memorized, but he hadn't had time to practice. Now that he encountered suitable Materials, Zhao Xing naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass.
Recalling the method of making the Great Strength straw man in his mind, he began his first attempt.
【You have created a straw man Puppet (Great Strength). You have comprehended a new Puppet method.】
【All Plants Are Soldiers proficiency + 25】
【Straw Man Puppet (Great Strength)】
【Proficiency: 100 / 9999】
【Effect: Indestructible, boundless strength.】
The first attempt was successful, and due to the superior Materials, the proficiency given was also exceptionally high!
"Directly 100 points, and even the main Spell, All Plants Are Soldiers, received 25 points. It truly is a good item."
Where had Zhao Xing ever fought such a wealthy battle in this life? When practicing with Xue Wenzhong, he always used withered primal rice stalks or ordinary willow branches.
Who knew if these things would be taken away after the exam? Zhao Xing certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to get them for free.
Ordering the Recovery straw men to keep watch outside, Zhao Xing began to immerse himself in the joy of making Great Strength Vajras.
