But those in the Star Refining Realm should keep their distance if they can.

Star Power was running low, and victory might be possible against early-period competitors in the Star Refining Realm, but facing an elite from the Fifth Layer of the Alien Race, death in battle was a possibility.

For if one died in battle, even abundant points would be useless, impossible to clear the round.

Thus, at this moment, Xu Jin was exceedingly cautious.

Yet, as if fate were playing cruel tricks, the more one fears, the more likely it happens.

The peak of the mountain offered good visibility, and combined with the Spirit Sniffing Star Pattern, significant dangers were hoped to be avoidable.

Yet unexpectedly, the next instant, an elite of the Eight Desolate Alien Race with a horn on its forehead appeared thirty meters in front of Xu Jin.

The Mingji Star Pattern trembled violently.

A Fifth Layer, another elite of the Alien Race.

”Shit, how could I be so unlucky, another one!”

While cursing under his breath, several tactics rapidly surfaced in Xu Jin’s mind.

The first option was to flee.

With his full strength in the Flying Star Step, he should be able to match or slightly outpace the elite Fifth Layer One-Horned Alien.

But the critical problem was the insufficiency of Star Power.

One-tenth of his Star Power wouldn’t support continuous bursts of the Flying Star Step for five minutes.

So, halfway through the escape, Xu Jin would become a sitting duck.

Sure death!

That tactic was discarded!

So, the only option left was to fight!

But which tactic to use?

Xu Jin thought rapidly, recalling the various tactics practiced in the Martial Arts Secret Realm with the Drunk Moon Immortal and No Big Deal, quickly formulating a plan.

In such a situation, the tactic had to be risky.

But how to execute the risk was critical.

However, the One-Horned Alien elite didn’t give Xu Jin much time to think.

Just one second after spotting Xu Jin, the ground beneath his feet burst with Starlight as he charged forward.

Even more alarming, when still twelve meters from Xu Jin, the horn on his forehead suddenly erupted with Starlight, launching a Star Blade from an incredibly long distance at Xu Jin.

And the barrage of long-range strikes was relentless.

Star Blade after Star Blade.

Luckily, with some distance, Xu Jin’s Flying Star Step could still dodge.

But without a solution, within a few breaths, Xu Jin would be killed.

Because his Star Power was running out.

The next instant, Xu Jin’s pupils contracted sharply.

With a burst of the Flying Star Step, he flashed over ten meters, crossing above the elite Alien’s head in an instant. His hips and waist erupted with Starlight, turning in mid-air and rapidly descending behind the Alien elite.

At the same moment, his hands flew like playing a zither, ten fingers flicking rapidly, and ten Star Ropes shot out like a tornado, instantly wrapping around the One-Horned Alien elite, then tightened swiftly.

He intended to crush the One-Horned Alien elite.

The One-Horned Alien elite, shocked, desperately activated the Body Protective Starlight as its horn quickly launched one Star Blade after another, slashing at the Star Ropes that Xu Jin used to bind it.

With each slash, a Star Rope was shattered.

Xu Jin, controlling the Star Ropes, shifted like lightning to in front of the Alien, severed the Star Ropes with his right hand, leaped up, and his blade, fueled with the last of his Star Power, plunged fiercely into the eyes of the One-Horned Alien elite.

A spurt!

With the Body Protective Starlight just crushed by Xu Jin, the blade’s Starlight instantly breached the eye and penetrated the brain, Xu Jin stirring it with the momentum.

The One-Horned Alien elite instantly dispersed into specks of Starlight.

After the victory, Xu Jin also collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air.

While catching his breath, he scanned his surroundings.

His body was now completely devoid of Star Power.

With not the slightest trace of a method for recovery.

If a Star Casting Realm opponent happened by, Xu Jin could easily be killed.

”It shouldn’t...get any worse, right...”

As Xu Jin pondered, the Martial Observation Platform erupted in an uproar.

Vice Academician Liu Qing’s face was one of shock.

Controlling ten Star Ropes with ten fingers, how did he manage that?

She could do it, too, but not with the finesse of Xu Jin!

How was such Star Skill trained?

On the first row of the Martial Observation Platform, Right Libationer Song Bing’s face turned black as the bottom of a pot instantaneously!

He actually didn’t die and won.

The face of Lu Chenfeng, the Dean of the State Taoist Institute of Yan State, grew even more somber!

”Not bad, not bad, this lad has mastered some exquisite Star Skill! The old man has had an eye-opener.

But ah, Dong, after rewarding the lad tonight, remember to thank Libationer Song...”

At this point, Supervisor Chen Liao stopped mid-sentence, ”Eh, that’s not right!

It should be considered a bounty from the Grand State Preceptor; make sure to have him thank the Grand State Preceptor!”

”Thanks for the reminder, Elder Chen,” Dong Zhao responded with a chuckle.

Right Libationer Song Bing’s face turned utterly sour!
