Before meeting up with Ji Hongli, Xu Jin took the time to place the two newly acquired Fourth Tier Star Cores into the Candou Platform to familiarize himself with the Protection Star Patterns they provided.

With just one glance, Xu Jin was overjoyed.

There were two Star Cores, one a Fourth-tier Upper Thunder Spirit Star Core and the other a Fourth Order Middle Thunder Spirit Star Core.

[Ritual Offering Spiritual Object Three: Fourth-tier Upper Thunder Spirit]

[Protection Granted: Initial-tier Thunder Origin, Mid-tier Thunder Wing, Purple Thunder Bomb]

[Ritual Offering Spiritual Object Two: Fourth Order Middle Thunder Spirit]

[Protection Granted: Initial-tier Thunder Origin, Mid-tier Thunder Wing]

What delighted Xu Jin was the Initial-tier Thunder Origin Star Pattern.

With the Initial-tier Thunder Origin, all of Xu Jin’s basic Star Skills could be transformed into Thunder Star Skills.

Xu Jin had already become familiar with the characteristics of Thunder Star Skills at the National Taoist Institute’s library.

However, Thunder Star Skill cultivation was quite difficult, and the Da Chen National Taoist School only had a few seized Star Patterns, not focusing their research on Thunder Series patterns.

But that didn’t stop Xu Jin from using them.

One more series of Star Skill could make Xu Jin’s Star Skills more varied and their might even more unpredictable.

In the National Taoist Institute’s library, the characteristic of Fire Series Star Skills was that they were powerful, had a wide range, and high damage.

But the characteristic of Thunder Series Star Skills was that they were powerful, had high damage, and fast speed.

Just the aspect of fast speed alone was sufficient to use.

Simply put, for a distance of one hundred meters, with Xu Jin’s current strength, a basic Star Arrow would take almost half a second, and a Fire Arrow would take half a second, but a Fire Arrow with an added Spiral Star Pattern would only take about 0.3 seconds, extremely fast.

However, with the acquisition of the Initial-tier Thunder Origin, a basic Star Arrow turned into a Thunder Arrow would take only 0.2 seconds to reach the target, extremely fast.

And after adding the Spiral Star Pattern, it would take even less than 0.2 seconds.

Previously, while researching in the library, Xu Jin had determined that Thunder Series Star Skills, paired with the Spiral Star Pattern, were most suitable for the technique of the Nine Veins Divine Sword he had developed himself.

The firing speed was too fast.

With ten fingers firing in rapid succession, within a hundred meters, the attack could hit the target instantly, basically leaving no chance to dodge.

No matter how flashy your movement technique, it still takes a bit of time.

However, while analysis is good, the Thunder Origin Star Pattern didn’t exist at the National Taoist Institute.

Unexpectedly, he got it in the Third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

Therefore, on his way back, Xu Jin familiarized himself with Thunder Star Skills.

Thunder Arrow, Thunder Burst, Thunder Ring, Thunder Shield, Thunder Light Shield, Thunder Rope, he tried them all out one by one, and even used large trees or hilltops for threat experiments.

Xu Jin found out that among all the Star Skills, only the Star Mist Skill couldn’t be converted into a Thunder Series Star Skill.

Star Mist turned into Thunder Fog would be exposed in an instant.

If you want to be invisible, you must use the basic Star Mist Skill.

Even so, Xu Jin offered up both Thunder Spirit Star Cores, stacking two Initial-tier Thunder Origins to test their might.

Before reaching the place where Ji Hongli was, he had completed all the tests.

But he also came to a not-so-good conclusion: for the time being, Thunder Series Star Skills still weren’t suitable to become Xu Jin’s main combat Star Skill.

The speed of Thunder Series Star Skills was there, but their might fell far short of Fire Series Star Skills.

The main reason was the enhancement provided by the Mid-tier Red Scale Heart, especially the boost in power from the Mid-tier Red Scale Heart’s affiliated Fire Element Star Pattern.

And there was also the Mid-tier Fire Origin.

However, after careful consideration, Xu Jin changed the three Star Cores offered on the Candou Platform to Fourth Tier Upper Thunder Spirit, Fourth Order Middle Thunder Spirit, and Third-tier Upper Fire Spirit respectively.

Among them, the protection Star Pattern obtained from the Third-tier Upper Fire Spirit was the Initial-tier Fire Origin, which was an augmentation to the might of Fire Series Star Skills, at least enhancing the current Fire Series Star Skills by one-tenth.

From the Fourth Order Middle Thunder Spirit, Xu Jin received the Mid-tier Thunder Wing as the Protection Star Pattern.

In the recent tests, Xu Jin realized he had overlooked this Mid-tier Thunder Wing, a Star Pattern with very practical use.

After deploying the Mid-tier Thunder Wing, Xu Jin would acquire a pair of Thunder Wings condensed from Thunder Light.

This Mid-tier Thunder Wing could actually increase Xu Jin’s speed by two-tenths.

An additional increase.

That is to say, even when Xu Jin was using the Flying Star Step, this Thunder Wing had an extra bonus.

It directly greatly increased Xu Jin’s speed.

What delighted Xu Jin even more was that this Mid-tier Thunder Wing not only increased speed but also added a layer of defense.

Just like how Zi Yang and Zi Shuo were severely injured by the Fourth Tier Emblem ’Dawn,’ their first reaction was to wrap themselves in their Purple Wings to protect themselves.

Purple Wings with Thunder Light was their natural strong defense.

Similarly, this Mid-tier Thunder Wing could protect Xu Jin in critical moments, becoming Xu Jin’s strong defense, and most importantly, it could be superimposed on top of the Rain Curtain Starlight Shield.

It could be described as defense upon defense.

It further increased Xu Jin’s ability to survive and to attack.

This Mid-tier Thunder Wing must be utilized.

Among the protections given by the Fourth-tier Upper Thunder Spirit, the Initial-tier Thunder Origin and Purple Thunder Bomb were quite practical.

The Initial-tier Thunder Origin allowed Xu Jin’s Thunder Series Star Skill deployments, particularly the Flying Star Step, to directly turn into the Thunder Burst Step.

The speed of the Thunder Burst Step directly surged by two-tenths.

Fully worthy of the Da Chen National Daoist School’s evaluation of Thunder Series Star Skills: ”fast speed.”

In this way, Xu Jin’s speed, when using the Thunder Burst Step and with the aid of the Mid-tier Thunder Wing, would surge by four-tenths.

No wonder the speed of the members of the Purple Wing Royal Family, who were at the Initial Stage of Star Condensation, was nearly the same as Xu Jin’s.

Zi Yang even caught up with Xu Jin who was about to enter the lake in an instant.

But at this moment, Xu Jin, who had acquired both the protection of the Initial-tier Thunder Origin and Mid-tier Thunder Wing Star Patterns, was confident that he could escape Zi Yang’s speed if they were to encounter each other again.
