[Should the Combined Star Skill be solidified?]

Xu Jin’s thoughts sank into the Candou Platform Jade, and in an instant, this line of information appeared on the Jade.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jin understood the meaning of this line.

It was the Star Skill he had just combined that could also be solidified.

After solidification, it could be activated instantaneously.

Xu Jin’s heart skipped a beat in an instant—it was incredibly valuable.

Activating the Clear Soul Star Pattern, Guicang Star Pattern, Elephant Concealing Star Pattern, and Star Mist in sequence was necessary to complete this combined Star Skill for invisibility. The first time it took six seconds, and the second time it took three seconds.

Xu Jin estimated that this time could be further shortened.

With prolonged practice, this activation time could probably be reduced to one second, or even less.

But after solidification, it was instantaneous.

Thought becomes action in an instant.

Although one second is very short, there is still a considerable difference compared to thought becoming instant action.

Within one second, it could be activated ten times.

That’s a tenfold difference.

For ordinary Star Skills, with hard practice, there was a possibility of achieving instant activation.

However, for combined Star Skills, no matter how much one practiced, it would at most be a pseudo-instantaneous activation.

Because no matter how proficient you are, the process of activating three Star Patterns in sequence for a Star Skill cannot be omitted; with extreme practice, it’s predicted that two to three instantaneous activations could be achieved within one second.

But when solidified into a Star Lamp, that is true instantaneous activation, thought becomes action.

With ease, ten times in one second.

Invisibility as a combined Star Skill was manageable, but if it were another offensive Star Skill, that would be incredible.

Indeed, ever since Xu Jin had cultivated his Star Skill to the state of Great Perfection, he had experienced the difference between self-acting instantaneous activation and solidified instantaneous activation.

For self-acting instantaneous activation, such as Star Arrow, firing four in one second was Xu Jin’s limit.

Though it’s called instantaneous, in reality, it still required a pseudo-instantaneous process, including Xu Jin activating Star Power and so on; this process was just infinitely compressed.

But a Star Skill solidified into a Star Lamp is genuinely instantaneous, thought becomes action.

Without Xu Jin needing to make any other movement, the Star Skill solidified on the Star Lamp would activate by drawing on Star Power.

With the Star Arrow solidified on the lamp, Xu Jin could fire it eight to ten times or more in one second.

Since discovering this, Xu Jin had already switched the Star Lamp Three’s solidified Star Skill to Star Arrow.

In a critical moment, he could unleash about ten Star Arrow attacks in one second; anyone would be stunned.

If the attack power isn’t enough, make up with high frequency.

Ten attacks in one second, almost comparable to an M16’s rate of fire.

The next instant, Xu Jin’s mind moved, and he replaced the solidified Star Skill Star Arrow on Star Lamp Three with this combined Star Skill.

In four days, when the solidified Star Skill exchange time for Star Lamp One was due, he planned to switch the solidified Star Skill Star Mist on Star Lamp One to Star Arrow.

As for Star Mist, Xu Jin planned to withstand another day or two inside the lamp, then he could achieve Great Perfection instantaneous activation.

But if this combined Star Skill for invisibility could achieve instantaneous activation after solidification, it would be very useful at critical moments.

[Star Lamp Three: Solidified Star Skill, Combined Star Skill One]

The information displayed on the Jade was just named Combined Star Skill One.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jin’s thought slightly moved, and the information on the Jade changed again.

[Star Lamp Three: Solidified Star Skill, Invisibility]

Invisibility was the name Xu Jin gave to this Star Skill, and it was also a recent discovery about using the Candou Platform. Some things, including Star Weapons, could be named by oneself.

The next instant, with a thought from Xu Jin, he instantly disappeared on the spot.

Invisible.

Xu Jin began to try various things and quickly discovered several usage limitations.

While invisible, other Star Skills couldn’t be used, or the invisibility effect would be broken.

Walking, jogging, running, or even moving swiftly did not affect the invisibility effect, as long as he did not use Star Power.

However, the environmental changes caused by running could possibly attract the attention of others.

The consumption of Star Power was not too great.

This Invisibility Star Skill mainly consumed Divine Soul Power, which was very strong in Xu Jin now.

After a simple test, Xu Jin’s current strength could support him staying invisible for at least half an hour; if he replenished Star Power once, his Divine Soul Power could support him staying invisible for more than an hour.

With this ability to become invisible, Xu Jin’s youthful nature surfaced.

He roamed around the Taoist Institute while invisible.

Qian Xiaohu was still practicing hard, good for him.

Qiao Ruonan was grooming herself, her silhouette still pronounced, her long hair draped over her shoulders, but that was all Xu Jin could see before he quickly left.

Lu Xianbing wasn’t there; that guy was staying at home.

Ren Xiaoxiang was practicing diligently. Yue Daqi was also practicing a Star Skill and Luo Geng was practicing the Flying Star Step.

Yu Guan, that guy had actually fallen asleep, still not diligent enough.

The former third senior now fifth senior Yu Xianghua, whose house had a woman’s voice?

As Xu Jin passed by the outside of Yu Xianghua’s courtyard, he heard a woman’s calling.

With a slight movement, Xu Jin jumped over the wall, and inside through the window shadow, two figures were intensely colliding.

At first, Xu Jin didn’t react, but after clearly hearing the heavy panting, he was stunned.

Crap.

Could one really bring a woman to live in the Taoist Institute?

Or was it that the fifth senior Yu Xianghua had a favorite junior sister in the institute?

This life seemed quite enjoyable.

Xu Jin took a glance, didn’t dare listen further, and quickly left.

With his vigorous blood energy, Xu Jin was afraid that if he listened too much, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

It seemed there was no specific prohibition in the Taoist Institute’s regulations, only mentioning that bringing relatives to stay overnight needed registration.
