Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 148: Chapter 102 Safety Distance and the First Defeat (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3

At the same time, Xu Jin also planned to ask Old Qi.

Previously, hadn’t Old Qi said that it was generally only possible for someone in the Gathering Battle Realm to stand a chance of using Divine Soul Power for Star Casting and to potentially discover Xu Jin’s Invisibility?

So, how come Ning Yuchan, with only a Nine-star Condensation, had become alert from so far away?

It was frightening.

*****

In the Star-picking Tower, within the one-star Martial Arts Secret Realm.

Upon arriving, Xu Jin received a Starlight Transmission from the Drunk Moon Immortal, challenging him to a duel.

One could only say that this girl was truly extravagant—a hundred taels of silver gone just like that for a mere transmission.

Xu Jin didn’t reply, but he took the initiative to send a challenge request.

He who takes another’s hand is short, he who eats another’s food is stunted.

Having accepted two hundred strands of Starlight from her, although he retained only one hundred and forty, he still had that bit of consciousness.

Might as well consider it being hired as a top-tier sparring partner.

He fought three matches.

During which, Xu Jin took the opportunity to refine his Kite Ring Strategy, dominating the Drunk Moon Immortal to the point of despair, and won three consecutive victories.

Xu Jin realized that compared to Lu Xianbing, the Drunk Moon Immortal was quite durable.

While practicing in the Martial Arts Secret Realm with Lu Xianbing, Xu Jin had to be extremely cautious, fearing that one careless move would shatter Lu Xianbing, this porcelain doll, thereby ending the match.

Now, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Power was strong, and the number of times he could fight in the Martial Arts Secret Realm wasn’t much of a concern, but Lu Xianbing’s opportunities were limited.

The Drunk Moon Immortal, however, was extremely tough.

After being repeatedly struck at vital points and slain by Xu Jin, she had already grown accustomed to it.

When Xu Jin sparred with the Drunk Moon Immortal, he could unleash his full power without any restraint.

The Drunk Moon Immortal’s Practical Combat Ability was improving rapidly, especially under Xu Jin’s unrestrained attacks.

The only objective was to win.

Who cares if certain spots shouldn’t be attacked, or which moves were ungentlemanly or sly?

Whatever it takes to win.

Under these circumstances, the Drunk Moon Immortal’s combat skills improved dramatically.

”Let’s continue tomorrow, I’m going to challenge for ranking.” After three matches, the Drunk Moon Immortal sent another Starlight Transmission to Xu Jin, making him silently curse her extravagance.

Now he had to part with another strand of Starlight.

Since he had sent Starlight to her, he had to reply at least once.

Xu Jin was still ranked eighth, with no one challenging him. Challenging the seventh place, suddenly a line of information popped up.

[One-star Martial Arts Secret Realm, rank number seven, Qingfeng has not responded to challenges for three consecutive days, judged as a loss]

[Star Master Great Sage Equalling Heaven, congratulations on obtaining the one-star Martial Arts Secret Realm rank seven, please continue to maintain it]

Obtaining victory without a fight, Xu Jin continued to challenge.

Sixth place, fifth place, fourth place, these three matches were all consecutive victories, but each was more difficult than the last.

During the battle with rank number four, Xu Jin’s Star Power was nearly depleted.

He won purely with motion techniques.

The primary reason it was so difficult was that Xu Jin set limitations for himself.

He came to the Martial Arts Secret Realm to fight in order to enhance his own Practical Combat Ability, not to show off, and certainly not to slaughter his enemies.

So, when practicing in the Martial Arts Secret Realm, Xu Jin set several restrictions for himself.

Not to actively use Divine Soul Power to amplify the might of Star Skills.

Otherwise, he could have instantly slain the previous rank number four.

Not to use the Protection Star Pattern provided by the Ritual Officer’s Star Spirit.

This way, he could maximize the improvement of his own combat skills.

The above were to be used in a fight to the death.

If not used, then so be it; if used, then kill without fail!

[Challenge]

Glancing at the Martial Arts Secret Realm rankings, Xu Jin directly challenged rank three of the Secret Realm: No Big Deal.

To Xu Jin’s surprise, this third ranker was actually in the Secret Realm.

It seemed many geniuses were accustomed to entering the Martial Arts Secret Realm late at night to enhance their Practical Combat Ability.

To emerge among millions and kill his way into the top three ranks of the one-tier Martial Arts Secret Realm, he must be an absolute genius in some respect.

And Xu Jin was now challenging this supreme genius.

[Battlefield: Desert]

With the play of light and shadow, Xu Jin appeared in a vast desert battlefield, another figure emerging thirty meters away, it was No Big Deal himself.

”Great Sage Equalling Heaven, you’ve been rising fast lately. Which family’s genius are you?” No Big Deal was a man of unusually tall stature, probably over one meter ninety, but his face was concealed by the play of light, obscure and indistinct.

Xu Jin smiled but didn’t respond to the question. Revealing his identity would be foolish.

This guy was no good person!

”I just started climbing the rankings recently and came to learn from you.”

”Good, I have dominated the rankings for more than three months, finally someone dares to challenge me!”

No Big Deal laughed heartily, turning into a blur as he lunged towards Xu Jin.

Fast, incredibly fast!

Xu Jin, like a bolt of lightning, rushed forward, firing off Star Arrows from afar, and close up, he swung the Star Ring.

In a flash, the two exchanged over a dozen blows.

Xu Jin also had a judgment, this guy’s Star Power was much more robust than his.

Because it took two Star Arrows for Xu Jin to break through his Star Shield.

And he could break Xu Jin’s Star Shield with a casual hit. If Xu Jin hadn’t continuously layered his Starlight Shield and Star Shield, he would already have lost.

After about a dozen breaths, Xu Jin suddenly noticed, without knowing when, four chicken egg-sized globes of Starlight started floating in front of and behind No Big Deal.

These globes of Starlight, under the guidance of No Big Deal’s Starlight, flickered back and forth.

Trouble!

At that very instant, No Big Deal suddenly let out a cold laugh. A fifth globe of Starlight appeared at the spear’s tip, and with a flick of the long spear, five globes of Starlight bombarded Xu Jin like lightning.

Xu Jin only managed to layer two Star Shields and a Starlight Shield before the five globes of Starlight hit simultaneously.

Then exploded.

In an instant, Xu Jin was obliterated!
