Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 164: Chapter 107: Special Training and the Start of the Autumn Exam (Please Subscribe)_2

Based on the strong medicinal effect of the top-grade Third Essence Transcendence Pill he had just consumed, it was possible to achieve nine rounds of Purification.

But if a special method was needed, that would be another matter.

It might be very difficult to achieve nine rounds of Purification.

A few moments later, Xu Jin stopped thinking about it and wasn’t anxious, simply pushing the thought to the back of his mind.

He had already undergone Purification eight times; with this progress, he had surpassed ninety-nine percent of the geniuses in this world. So why should he be anxious?

He still had five top-grade Transcendence Pills in hand; he would just do his best when the time came.

After all, what could be absolutely perfect?

”By the way, when is your autumn exam?” Qi Shanye suddenly asked.

”August 4.”

Qi Shanye nodded, then said no more.

******

”Six times achieved?”

This was Ning Yuchan’s first reaction after staring blankly for a few moments upon seeing Xu Jin, her face full of delight.

”I just achieved it this morning!” said Xu Jin.

”That’s great. With this, your chances of breaking into the top ten of the autumn exam are at least fifty percent,” Ning Yuchan said as she meticulously scrutinized Xu Jin, more boldly sensing Xu Jin’s state with Star Power.

Ning Yuchan always felt that Xu Jin looked exceptionally clear and clean.

There was an indescribable sense of purity from the inside out, especially his eyes, which shone brightly.

Ning Yuchan had seen many with a Purity Body, but none attracted her as Xu Jin did.

”It might be because I’ve just achieved the Purity Body,” Ning Yuchan explained to herself.

Seeing that Ning Yuchan had even used Star Power and still hadn’t sensed his depth, Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming here, Xu Jin had specifically asked Qi Shanye about this issue.

Qi Shanye told him to be at ease; as long as Xu Jin maintained the Guicang Star Pattern to a certain degree, most experts at the peak of the Fifth Tier in the Gathering Battle Realm wouldn’t be able to see the cultivation he was hiding.

Even if Dong Zhao was present, as long as Xu Jin didn’t allow Dong Zhao’s Star Power to enter his body uncontrollably, the probability of being discovered wasn’t high.

Usually, unless the Divine Soul cooperates, anyone’s Star Power entering the body is considered an intrusion and would meet with fierce resistance from one’s own Star Power.

The chances of being discovered were not great.

Xu Jin needed to be cautious of Sixth Tier experts.

But currently, with Xu Jin’s status, the chances of encountering Sixth Tier experts were pitifully low.

”Have you participated in the First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm?” Ning Yuchan asked after her surprise.

”I have, I basically fight to the limit every day.”

”Well, that’s the fastest way to practice real combat skills. So, what ranking have you reached?” Ning Yuchan asked.

Xu Jin hesitated.

Strictly speaking, he shouldn’t lie to Ning Yuchan.

But if he directly said that he had taken first place in the rankings of the First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm, his identity would be exposed, and many pieces of information would also be revealed, even to the point of reasoning out many inconsistencies.

Including the previous incident at the Star-picking Tower where Xu Jin and Ning Yuchan, as well as Lu Xianbing, added each other as friends, Xu Jin had used his identity from the Da Chen National Taoist School.

To tell the truth, the Star-picking Tower did pretty well in this area.

One identity was used in public areas, while the real identity appeared in each Star Hall and Taoist Institute.

And yet, these two identities were unified.

However, when Xu Jin sent Ning Yuchan a Starlight Transmission, the signature was Xu Jin from Jinshan Taoist Institute.

When sending to Drunk Moon Immortal, it was under the alias Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

This felt even better than the internet of his previous life.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Jin said, ”I’ve just managed to break into the top one thousand.”

”What, within the top one thousand?”

Ning Yuchan stood up in surprise, ”I have always overestimated you, thinking that with your demonstrated practical combat ability, you should be able to make it within the top five thousand, but I didn’t expect you to break into the top one thousand.

That also makes sense.

Back then, you hadn’t even reached the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn.

And now you’re already at the Peak of the Seventh Layer.”

Pausing here, Ning Yuchan suddenly spoke solemnly, ”Xu Jin, there’s something I must tell you, but you must keep a proper mindset and view it normally.”

”Please speak, Teacher.”

”Xu Jin, regarding your talent evaluation, the Taoist Institute has assessed it as C+.

I personally think, even the Mountain Master believes, this might be wrong.

Your true talent rating might have been obscured by the heart disease you had at the time.

I believe your real talent rating should be A+.

However, this has already been reported to the National Taoist Institute and cannot be changed!

In the future, although as your Cultivation Level grows stronger, and the influence of Star Pointing days, which is the talent evaluation, becomes smaller on you.

Still, in the presence of some older generations who are stricter with rules and regulations, it might have an impact.

Regarding this, I hope you won’t resent the Mountain Master.

For the Mountain Master to raise your talent evaluation from C- to C+ was already the limit of his authority,” Ning Yuchan explained.

”Teacher, how could I!

I can only be grateful to you all.

To tell the truth, if it wasn’t for the successful Star Pointing that cured my Innate heart disease, whether I could still be alive right now would be unknown.

Moreover, my cultivation has been progressing by leaps and bounds. Even if in the future the talent evaluation has a slight impact on me, how much could it really affect me?” Xu Jin said confidently.

”If you can think this way, then that’s the best.

This rule of determining talent based on Star Pointing days is not only recognized by Dachen but also universally acknowledged by all the Star Halls and countries as the most fair method of talent evaluation,” Ning Yuchan said.

”Teacher, I understand.”

Xu Jin truly understood.

It was like the college entrance exams of his previous life; it might be unfair for some individuals, but it was fair for the majority.

”Good, since that’s settled, let’s officially start the special training.”
