Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 149: Chapter 103: Obtaining the Mysterious Hook and the Mental-locking Golden Pill (Subscribe Requested)

When the shattered starlight dissipated, Xu Jin was slightly stunned.

It wasn’t that Xu Jin had never lost before.

He had also lost in real combat with Drunk Moon Immortal previously.

But this battle was his first defeat since he had attained the Great Perfection State in both Divine Soul Star and all Star Skills.

And it was an utterly thorough defeat.

Especially the last strike—it was crushingly overpowering.

Xu Jin felt that even if he added two more layers of Star Shield, he would still be blown apart.

Perhaps, only if he fully activated the Divine Soul Star to massively output Star Power and greatly strengthen the Starlight Shield and Star Shield, could he withstand that strike.

That last hit was too powerful.

Xu Jin felt that this strike, even if it was used against a beginner in the Star Refining Realm, could easily be lethal.

It must be some special Star Skill or Star Pattern.

After a brief dumbfounded moment, Xu Jin became excited.

Finally, he had found a worthy opponent!

[Challenge]

After pondering for a few breaths, Xu Jin chose to continue to challenge.

Very quickly, No Big Deal accepted the challenge again.

[Terrain: Deep Mountain Dense Forest]

”So you’re not convinced and came back for more?” Standing with a gun as he entered the Martial Learning scene, No Big Deal looked at Xu Jin with a playful expression.

”Of course I’m not convinced!”

In the next instant, as the light screen dispersed, Xu Jin had already charged over like lightning.

From the get-go, upon closing in, he employed the Kite Ring Strategy.

He aimed to annihilate the target with the Kite Ring Strategy.

But No Big Deal reacted extremely fast.

His great gun’s Star Radiance flickered continuously, smashing Xu Jin’s Star Arrows while, every one to two attacks, he was able to condense a clump of starlight around the long gun.

This time, only two clumps of starlight were condensed, which instantly bombarded Xu Jin.

The two clumps of starlight exploded, shattering Xu Jin’s Star Ring, which he was using defensively, and the hastily laid two layers of Star Shield, and finally made Xu Jin’s Starlight Shield undulate fiercely before dissipating.

But it also successfully disrupted Xu Jin’s Kite Ring Strategy.

In the next instant, No Big Deal’s long gun struck like a venomous snake leaving its hole, mixing in attacks of Star Arrow and Star Ring Star Skills, and occasionally incorporating what Xu Jin termed a Star Burst.

It involved hurling a clump of starlight, which would spontaneously explode before striking.

The assault was extremely fierce.

But Xu Jin also saw through his intent and still condensed clumps of starlight around the long gun.

Xu Jin, having been tricked once, realized that once these clumps gathered and exploded, they could potentially wipe him out with a single strike.

So Xu Jin also deliberately targeted the clumps he had condensed.

Occasionally leveraging his quick movement technique, he would thrust forward with a Star Arrow, blasting apart a clump.

Or, the Star Ring would sweep out and explode the clumps.

His strategy was simply to prevent these clumps from gathering into four or more.

The battle lasted a full seven minutes due to high-frequency usage of Star Skills, which drained Xu Jin’s Star Power completely.

With insufficient Star Power, Xu Jin inevitably found himself restricted.

In the next instant, No Big Deal’s long gun, accompanied by four clumps of starlight, bombarded over.

This time, Xu Jin used his last bit of Star Power to set up three layers of Star Shield and one layer of Starlight Shield.

Still, he was obliterated.

Another defeat!

The victory notification appeared, but the victorious No Big Deal stood pensively in place.

Even though he had won, this ’Great Sage Equalling Heaven’ had instilled in him a significant sense of threat.

”I wonder from which clan comes such a supreme talent? In terms of Star Skills, his foundation is completely imperceptible.”

After his second defeat, Xu Jin frowned and contemplated for quite a while.

He had used every tactic available.

But still, he had failed. Which direction should he break through?

Actually, winning could be very easy.

If only Xu Jin broke the rule he set for himself, or even just used invisibility once during the fight.

Just disappearing for an instant could bring him victory.

But that wasn’t the real combat Xu Jin wanted.

After considering for 100 breaths, Xu Jin once again initiated a challenge.

No Big Deal was still there and swiftly accepted the challenge.

”Here you come again!”

”Scared?”

”Like hell I’m scared!”

”Then battle!”

This time, Xu Jin still employed the Flying Star Step rush and opened with Star Arrow, just like before.

But after approaching ’No Big Deal’, Xu Jin was slightly slow in condensing a Star Rope.

The Star Rope swiftly wrapped around ’No Big Deal’s’ long gun, once again initiating the Kite Ring.

Star Arrow barrage.

Xu Jin unleashed the Star Arrow with all his strength.

After a breath, starlight on No Big Deal’s long gun exploded in succession, shattering Xu Jin’s ensnaring Star Rope, but the defenses in front of him were also breached by Xu Jin’s Star Arrows, and by the time his long gun was ready to defend, he had already been annihilated by two of Xu Jin’s Star Arrows.

[Great Sage Equalling Heaven: Victory]

In the third round, Xu Jin won.

In another part of Star-picking Tower space, No Big Deal looked astonished.

He knew this ’Great Sage Equalling Heaven’ was highly competent and posed a great threat to him, but he hadn’t expected that just in the third match, and through tactical adjustments, he would be defeated.

And he had already realized that this person, despite having a cultivation level far inferior to his, was able to cunningly defeat him.
