Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 158: Chapter 105: Sister’s Opportunity and Pure as Jade (Please Subscribe)_4

But reality is extremely cruel.

Xu Jin’s cultivation level had increased by one-tenth today.

He had also achieved a Purity Body.

From this moment on, Xu Jin’s cultivation level was on par with No Big Deal.

In fact, Xu Jin’s Star Arrow had, since yesterday, been capable of easily blasting through No Big Deal’s Star Shield and Starlight Shield.

Today, after the sixth Purification, the situation had turned around.

Previously, Xu Jin needed three Star Arrows to break through No Big Deal’s two Star Shields.

Now, No Big Deal needed three Star Arrows to break through Xu Jin’s two Star Shields.

But his Hooked Star Pattern was still incredibly formidable.

Xu Jin was extremely cautious.

The two defeats from yesterday were due to Xu Jin’s carelessness, which allowed No Big Deal to condense three clusters of Starlight, burst forth instantly, and then consecutively deal heavy blows to Xu Jin.

But today was completely different.

Six battles.

Xu Jin won six battles in a row.

No Big Deal suffered six consecutive defeats.

No Big Deal found this record infuriating.

He continued to challenge Xu Jin but was declined.

”Why decline, another battle? I refuse to believe I can’t win against you once!” No Big Deal sent a Starlight Transmission to Xu Jin.

Unknowingly to himself, No Big Deal’s demand to challenge Xu Jin had decreased from consecutive victories to a major victory, and then further to only seeking one win.

”Let’s battle again tomorrow, I need to save my attempts to challenge ’Moon Shadow’.” Xu Jin painfully sent a Starlight Transmission, having already used up today’s free attempts.

No Big Deal felt humiliated reading the Starlight Transmission from Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

He felt as though Great Sage Equalling Heaven was saying in this transmission that he was no longer a match for him.

”Tomorrow, I’ll wait for you, don’t disappoint!” No Big Deal sent a Starlight Transmission to Xu Jin, then left the Star-picking Tower and went to seek his mentor.

He couldn’t find the opportunity for victory on his own and had to rely on his mentor’s help.

That was the real use of a mentor.

[Great Sage Equalling Heaven, ’Moon Shadow,’ the Star Lord is not in the Star-picking Tower and cannot accept your challenge; please choose another time to issue your challenge]

Xu Jin chose to challenge ’Moon Shadow,’ the first in the Martial Arts Ranking of the First Tier Secret Realm, but the message that appeared in front of him was somewhat disappointing.

And somewhat anxious.

The previous first place may have already broken through Star Casting, leaving the First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm.

If they delay any longer and the second-ranked ’Moon Shadow’ also leaves the First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm, won’t Xu Jin have no opponents?

*****

On July 24th, Xu Jin didn’t go to the Taoist Institute but cultivated at home.

Mainly because his progress was so astonishing, Xu Jin didn’t want the Mountain Master to regard him as a monster.

In seven and a half days, Xu Jin had broken through from the Dining Dawn Sixth Layer to the Peak of the Seventh Layer and completed six Purifications, achieving a Purity Body.

This timeframe was no longer astounding; it was frightening.

According to what Qi had said, the fastest record for Purification in the Lingji Star Hall was created by a prodigy 120 years ago, completing Purification three times in seven days.

But the problem was, Xu Jin had completed it six times in seven and a half days.

This speed was indeed frightening.

But Qi had already become accustomed to being frightened by Xu Jin’s pace.

However, Qi advised Xu Jin to wait two more days before going to the Taoist Institute.

It wasn’t that he distrusted Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao, but avoiding trouble was better than seeking it.

On the afternoon of July 24, Qi personally conducted a Star Power Body Infusion for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin could feel that Qi’s Star Power was much stronger than Dong Zhao, the Mountain Master, but the effects of the infusion were not as good as those when Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao joined forces.

Actually, before they started, Xu Jin already knew that the effects would likely be weak.

But Qi said that at this juncture, even the slightest improvement should not be neglected.

Because it might help Xu Jin achieve the seventh Purification.

If he could complete it seven times, then with sufficient Star Power, Xu Jin would surely forge a top-grade Star Core, and even had a certain chance of creating a Top-Grade Star Core.

A Top-Grade Star Core, even within the Lingji Star Hall, only appeared once in every hundred or two hundred years.

The results were just as Qi Shanye and Xu Jin had anticipated; the effect of Qi personally giving a Star Power Body Infusion this time was far inferior to the previous two times.

Only about one-fifth the effect of the combined infusions from Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao.

The enhancement of the Divine Soul Power was also very small.

The light halo of the Fifth Layer of the Divine Soul Star only increased by a thread, not even one-tenth.

But as Qi said, even mosquito meat is still meat.

Any small improvement is still progress.

However, after this, Xu Jin no longer needed to undergo Star Power Body Infusion.

Of course, if Qi, Dong Zhao, and Cao Chun, the three experts, were to join forces and simultaneously conduct a Star Power Body Infusion for Xu Jin, perhaps there would be a minor improvement.

But obviously, that was impossible.

That night, Xu Jin consumed the second and third Top-Grade First Essence Transcendence Pills.

In the night at the Star Tower, Xu Jin once again battled No Big Deal for six rounds.

In the first round, No Big Deal used a brand-new tactic and came close to winning, but Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern detected it in advance, and Xu Jin narrowly won.

In the following five rounds, No Big Deal continued to lose, and lose more swiftly.

Like yesterday, even though No Big Deal lost, he could still fight against Xu Jin for 15 minutes.

In the first three rounds today, No Big Deal could still fight with Xu Jin for five or six minutes.

In the last two challenges, Xu Jin ended the battles within three minutes.

Xu Jin’s final challenge attempt that evening was still reserved for the first place in the Martial Arts Ranking of the First Tier Secret Realm, ’Moon Shadow.’

Regrettably, ’Moon Shadow’ was still absent and did not respond to the challenge.
