Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 305: Chapter 148: Star Picking (Please Subscribe for Monthly Tickets)_2

When the countdown ended, a man over 1.8 meters tall, with a straight figure and a face full of heroic spirit, appeared on the opposite side.

When this man charged over, Xu Jin finally realized.

Wasn’t this himself?

Was his heart demon simply himself?

In the next instant, Xu Jin’s heart demon charged toward him, with Star Fire Rope, Thunder Light, and firelight all pouring down on Xu Jin in a flash.

Xu Jin had infused a Starlight Shield formed of as much as thirty percent of his Star Power, which shattered in an instant.

The hastily formed dual Star Shields appeared only to be blasted to pieces.

Just as he thought of bursting into the Flying Star Step to escape far away, his Divine Soul violently shook, and the Suppressing Intent Star Pattern on his Divine Soul Star began to crack inch by inch; a sudden intense pain in his head struck as the starlight before his eyes already dissipated!

Divine Soul Secret Technique: Breaking Evil.

In the next instant, Xu Jin’s figure reappeared in front of the Star Gate of the Star-picking Secret Realm.

His face was pale!

Silent!

Instantly defeated!

Defeated by his own heart demon!

Xu Jin had thought that obtaining the Copper Star should have been easy.

But he had not expected to be defeated instantly!

Xu Jin’s first reaction was, am I really that strong?

Because according to what the Star-picking Secret Realm said, the heart demon is a complete projection of one’s personal strength; whatever you can do, the heart demon can do too, with the only difference being the Star Level challenged and differing Cultivation Levels.

His second reaction was, why could his heart demon use Fire Series Star Skills and Thunder Series Star Skills that he himself couldn’t?

This point was truly the most terrifying and horrifying!

A few breaths later, Xu Jin left the Star-picking Tower and on the way back to his small courtyard, he was somewhat dispirited.

Not because he was defeated in an instant.

But rather, Xu Jin was pondering a very daunting question.

How did the Star-picking Tower, or perhaps the Star-picking Secret Realm, know that he could use Fire Series and Thunder Series Star Skills?

After racking his brains all the way, Xu Jin thought of three possibilities.

The first possibility was that nothing on the Candou Platform could be hidden from the Star-picking Tower; when creating his heart demon, the Tower could also have created a Candou Platform for the heart demon, so whatever Xu Jin could do, the heart demon could mimic, including the abilities Xu Jin hid and did not display.

If this was the case, then the Star-picking Tower was too frightening!

The second possibility was that the Star-picking Tower could perfectly replicate for the heart demon any ability Xu Jin had ever used.

The third possibility was that the Star-picking Tower could perfectly replicate for the heart demon any ability that Xu Jin had used in any environment related to the Star-picking Tower.

Given the current situation, after carefully recalling, all possibilities seemed feasible to Xu Jin.

Thunder Series Star Skills, whether in the current world or in environments related to the Star-picking Tower, he had used them, the most during his time in the Fire Radiant Star Domain.

Fire Series Star Skills, Xu Jin had just obtained the Fire Spirit Star Core and tried it out simply in the Fire Radiant Star Domain.

The Breaking Evil of the Divine Soul Star Pattern, Xu Jin had successfully engraved on the Divine Soul Star two days ago.

After successful engraving, Xu Jin had tested its might on opponents in the Martial Arts Secret Realm of the Star-picking Tower’s Third Tier.

Extremely fierce.

Hence, based on the strength displayed by his heart demon just now, all three possibilities existed.

If it was the third kind, it was actually the simplest; the second kind was also somewhat acceptable.

But if it was the first kind, Xu Jin had to be more cautious from now on.

If even the Candou Platform could be discovered and simulated, how terrifying must the Star-picking Tower be?

After some time, once Xu Jin learns new Star Patterns, he would be able to test it out.

By the time Xu Jin stepped into the small courtyard, the gloom on his face had completely dissipated.

It wasn’t because he was afraid his little sister, Jiang’er, would see his expression and worry.

It was because Xu Jin had already thought it through.

What’s the use of being anxious?

No matter which possibility, once it appears, it becomes a set fact; Xu Jin could worry and lose sleep for thirty-three days and still not be able to change anything.

Since that was the case, then he should just focus on practicing well, improving himself, paying attention to the present.

If such dreadful outcomes occur, just face them with a smile.

Worry is pointless.

”Brother, you’re back!”

As Xu Jin returned, Jiang’er greeted him with a smile, allowing Xu Jin to completely relax all of a sudden.

The feeling of being welcomed home was truly nice.

”Brother, this morning Brother Lu came to visit; seeing that you weren’t in, he left a gift and his address before leaving,” said Jiang’er.

”Mm, good, one day we’ll find time to visit him.”

Lu Xianbing had previously contacted Xu Jin through Starlight Transmission to ask for his address and also to update on his current situation, which was not bad.

Lu Xianbing, as a Core Disciple of the National Taoist Institute, must have had strong family support for his last Star Casting, using two top-grade Castings. In the end, he even became a disciple under one of the Four Great Academicians, Academician Kou Jing, and recently his Cultivation Level had been breaking through, reaching the Second Layer Peak of Refining Star just a few days ago.

Wang Weisheng, Zhang Han, and the others had also been in touch; although they didn’t have the same good fortune as Lu Xianbing, they became disciples under two Vice Academicians.

Of course, becoming a disciple under a Vice Academician wasn’t necessarily worse.

Like Xu Jin, the First True Inheritor; he was a disciple to a Vice Academician.

Inside the quiet room, Xu Jin earnestly practiced Star Patterns under the Star Lamp for two hours, mainly practicing Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Patterns of the Fourth Tier Upper.

The heart demon already mastered them, and not knowing them himself was a shame.

Of course, what the heart demon mastered likely originated from the Initial Stage Fire Origin learned from the Fire Spirit Star Core.

Two hours later, Xu Jin stopped his Cultivation; he still hadn’t used today’s two-hour Cultivation time in the Gathering Stars Array of the Feiyan Academic Hall.

As for the Third Tier Star Power Secret Realm’s Cultivation time, he had used up half; it would be finished in a few days, so there was no rush.

However, before leaving the house, Xu Jin, who had completely adjusted his mindset, once again held the Star-picking Order, entered the Star-picking Tower of Da Chen National Daoist School, and then pushed open the rightmost Star Gate.
