Chapter 1764: Chapter 6: The Attempt of the Year 1008! (Part 2)
Although there weren’t many people, there were a lot of grassmen.
Whether part of the Self Sect or not, Grassman Skill was one of the essential skills.
Even if not used for battle, it was useful for errands or pathfinding.
Therefore, at the moment, various grassmen were gathered in groups by the Boundary River and constantly crossing.
"More people than a few days ago," Daoist Miao Song clicked his tongue, "Those with points don’t go for trials, yet so many come to Taichu City where there’s nothing to gain."
"Those who can enter the Primordial Realm are all outstanding individuals. Moreover, the geniuses of this generation far surpass previous ones and all love high challenges to prove themselves," Han Qianye said.
Zhao Xing fully agreed, as too many strong individuals reincarnated in this cycle would be either kings or founders of great families in their former countries or factions.
In some eras, they might have experienced being invincible and creating miracles, accomplishing what others could not.
Zuo Qiyu’s tests, were they said to be difficult? Impossible to pass?
Instead, it more easily aroused these people’s interests.
"Brother Han, Mr. Zhao, which grassmen will we use this time?" The three of them landed on a rock by the riverbank, where Master Miao Song asked.
"I’ll try the Giant Cauldron Grassman and the Primordial Yang Grassman," Han Qianye said.
"I’ll use the Sky Demon Grassman and the South Pole Grassman," Master Miao Song said.
Both men spoke of grassman fusions, comparing them to the lower three Chapters, ’Pure Yang, Sky Yang, Giant Sun,’ of the Void Ancestor series.
"I’ve practiced with the Giant Sun Grassman, but haven’t done much skill fusion yet," Zhao Xing said.
Master Miao Song and Han Qianye didn’t ask much more, nodded, and began their spells.
In no time, various grassmen appeared around both of them and started to merge.
The popularity of Grassman Skill lies in its great freedom of expression, especially after multiple skill fusions and different material pairings, which result in many very personal grassmen.
After Master Miao Song and Han Qianye performed their spells, there appeared numerous strange phenomena around them: some grassmen had a halo of treasure protecting their heads, others were enveloped by a South Pole aurora with a crescent moon surrounding them, and others transformed into demon heads with human bodies after fusion.
On the other hand, Zhao Xing merely had an ordinary-looking Giant Sun Grassman.
They set off at different times.
Zhao Xing started first, Master Miao Song last, and Han Qianye was in between.
However, during the river crossing, the situation was different.
Zhao Xing started slowly, and Han Qianye quickly caught up, becoming the fastest to cross.
When Master Miao Song surpassed Zhao Xing, Han Qianye was already nearing the shore.
"Clang~ Clang~"
In the midst of the river, Zhao Xing’s body was struck by waves, and within the grassman was an echo that sounded like a bell.
The sound traveled throughout his body, and his vision began to distort.
In Zhao Xing’s perception, the waves became extremely bizarre, as if countless small insects were burrowing into him.
"Interesting." Zhao Xing stopped to ponder carefully.
Seeing Zhao Xing stop, Master Miao Song could not help but think to himself:
"It seems that the demigod disciple has no talent for Grassman Skill, stopping midway, difficult to continue."
"Was boasting before, not sure how he was noticed."
Stop halfway and can’t persist?
Clearly, it’s tough to pass the first trial.
"Splash~"
Waves struck.
"Not good!"
Master Miao Song immediately refocused, as he intended to pass the first stage unscathed, he fully concentrated on controlling the grassmen.
"Sizzle~"
The tide passed through one of his grassmen with a light purple glow, and the moonlit grassman avatar with a dragon-like head’s light extinguished, rigid on the water.
The other South Pole Grassman stepped on the water, moving very agilely, trying to ride the tide to fly forward.
However, just as it took off, thunder suddenly erupted over the Boundary River, striking down as if targeting it.
"Sizzle sizzle~"
The Sky Demon Grassman became stiff from the tide, while the South Pole Grassman was struck down.
"South Pole Rebirth, Recasting!"
"Heavenly Demon Body Shield, Latent from All Evils!"
A smaller grassman emerged from within the South Pole Grassman, while the Sky Demon Grassman shook itself, flicking off the fine water droplets clinging to it.
Zhao Xing, initially contemplating, noticed Master Miao Song’s spellcasting, and couldn’t help but take a closer look.
"Has some strength, mastering South Pole Rebirth and Heavenly Demon Body Shield isn’t easy,"
Master Miao Song’s play with the Grassman Skill was very fancy, at least on the surface, Zhao Xing thought he was quite skillful.
"But he lost twenty percent of his spiritual power, his divine thought’s intensity also diminished by a layer, not sure if the grassman’s body was damaged."
If Master Miao Song intended to pass unscathed, this time he failed, he might need to restart.
However, he clearly wasn’t as meticulous as Zhao Xing; after getting rid of the tide’s impact at the Boundary River, Master Miao Song continued moving forward, reaching the shore and entering the city.
And as for Han Qianye’s grassman, upon reaching the shore, it split into sixty-four, turning into sixty-four grassmen entering the city.
"In the art of Grassman Skill, Han Qianye has achieved a high level."
"Pushing back several cycles of the Primordial Conference, there haven’t been so many adept at Grassman Skill, now everyone plays it skillfully."
Upon the Boundary River, countless grassmen displayed their divine skills.
Some crossed the river avoiding water, others flew close to the water, and some leaped across.
Only Zhao Xing, honestly enlarged his size, stood in the river, and crossed with his body.
The method was primitive, with no technique involved, just forcing his way forward.
