Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 416: Chapter 183: State Preceptor’s Urgent 100,000 Matters_3

Xu Jin had now challenged up to the Third Layer of Fourth-Order Star Condensation in the God-Killing Battlefield.

Xu Jin’s current cultivation level was only at the Fifth Layer of Refining Star.

If he continued to challenge further, it would be terrifying.

”Uh... sorry, State Preceptor, I was also considering whether to continue fighting or not, because the more Taoist Merit I get, the quicker I just challenged up to this point, then I’ll stop.”

”Do you still have strength left?”

Inside the Pill Dawn Palace, National Master Cheng Yue Xiao pressed his hand to his forehead.

He thought Xu Jin was challenging the God-Killing Battlefield to hone his practical combat ability, but he never expected that it was actually to gain a bit more Taoist Merit.

This situation was getting complicated.

He was trying to suppress Xu Jin’s limelight in every way, wishing he could keep Xu Jin hidden.

Unexpectedly, while still worrying about this, Xu Jin almost started something big!

Level 127, fortunately.

Still within the realm of true top-notch genius strength.

”Still have a bit.”

”Do not challenge the God-Killing Battlefield until you’ve broken through to the Eighth Layer of Refining Star.”

”You break through to the Sixth Layer of Refining Star as fast as possible, within two days it must be done, then promote it widely so as many people as possible know.”

National Master Cheng Yue Xiao sent two Starlight Transmissions one after the other, fearful that Xu Jin didn’t grasp the situation, then sent another Starlight Transmission.

”This is a military order!”

”Uh... Disciple obeys!”

Xu Jin felt somewhat helpless. What kind of situation was this?

Challenging the God-Killing Battlefield and causing trouble.

But Xu Jin understood that the State Preceptor was looking out for his best interests and that he needed to obey.

It seemed that in this respect, he should be a bit more careful in the future.

[Xu Jin, you have received 5000 Taoist Merit transferred from Cheng Yue Xiao, after the Star-picking Tower has collected the tax, your Taoist Merit increased by 4000 points]

[Taoist Merit: 35112]

”This is to compensate you, don’t challenge anymore.”

Xu Jin received several notifications in succession; lastly, National Master Cheng Yue Xiao even sent a Starlight Transmission to explain.

This made Xu Jin cover his mouth and laugh.

The State Preceptor was afraid he couldn’t resist the temptation of the Taoist Merit, so he directly compensated him with a large sum of Taoist Merit.

”Please be assured, State Preceptor, I won’t step into the God-Killing Battlefield again before reaching the Eighth Layer of Refining Star,” Xu Jin quickly promised.

But after making his promise, Xu Jin began to ponder.

Since the combat in the God-Killing Battlefield was no longer allowed, he might as well go kill a few rounds in the Third-Order Martial Arts Secret Realm.

It had been a long time since he visited the Martial Arts Secret Realm.

Previously, he hadn’t gone because he felt his cultivation level and combat power were somewhat low; it would have been masochistic to go and only when his cultivation level and combat power improved, he’d consider challenging the rankings.

As for honing practical combat ability, the God-Killing Battlefield was always there.

Now, since the God-Killing Battlefield was off-limits,

He could only enter the Martial Arts Secret Realm.

Xu Jin felt that with his current strength, entering the top one thousand of the Third-Order Martial Arts Secret Realm was definitely achievable.

Entering the top hundred, should be no problem, right?

Inside the Pill Dawn Academy, seeing Xu Jin’s response, National Master Cheng Yue Xiao pressed his hand to his forehead, ”Elder Peng, from now on, pay more attention to this kid’s situation, he almost caused a huge mess.”

”Look, he said he still had strength left. Given his speed in breaking through the levels, it was very fast. If he continued at that pace, perhaps he could have reached level 135 or even beyond in the God-Killing Battlefield.

If that happened, Xu Jin would become highly suspected by the other Star Halls as the winner of the Gold Star.

There might even be action taken by the Star Halls.

But at this level, it’s still okay!

There are disciples from the three major Star Halls who have challenged the God-Killing Battlefield with cultivation levels between the Sixth and Seventh Layers,” Cheng Yue Xiao said with a bitter laugh.

”It’s also our fault for not explaining, and we underestimated this kid’s strength. I reckon, the strength he displayed previously is not his top-level combat power,” Chief Peng said.

”Indeed, otherwise, even if he had upgraded the Fire Origin Star Pattern to the middle of the Sixth Tier, he wouldn’t be so strong, killing a level in three or four breaths—that’s just sweeping through!

I wasn’t even this formidable back in my day!” Cheng Yue Xiao said.

”Indeed, when the Palace Master challenged this integer threshold back then, he was defeated over and over again!” Chief Peng showed a nostalgic expression.

”Who says so, he had also overcome it in one breath!” Cheng Yuxiao glared.

In Meng Qingqiu’s quiet room, just after she failed the eighty-ninth level of the God-Killing Battlefield again, Meng Qingqiu sighed as she looked at Xu Jin’s soaring ranking.

The 127th level!

And she was only at the eighty-ninth level.

How had the gap become so large?

Lv Kun was equally shocked.

Lv Kun was the first to find out, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Previously, Lv Kun thought Xu Jin was just a small stone, something he could kick away. Later, when he took refuge under Academician Fang, Lv Kun considered Xu Jin just a small mound of dirt, easily surpassable with the Academician’s help.

Later, as Xu Jin fought his way to the ninety-fourth level of the God-Killing Battlefield, Lv Kun felt Xu Jin was like a small mountain that he needed to look up to slightly.

But he was not unreachable!

With some effort, it was still possible to surpass him!

But now, seeing Xu Jin at the 127th level of the God-Killing Battlefield, Lv Kun suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

It felt like looking up at a high mountain!

He was at the Fifth Layer Peak of Refining Star, and at the Second Layer of Lower Star Palace, his progress wasn’t bad either, but he was still stuck at the eighty-seventh level.

Xu Jin had reached the 127th level, which involved being attacked by seven members of the Alien Race at the Third Tier of Star Condensation.

How long would it take him to reach that level?

Was it possible at the Eighth Layer of Refining Star?

He thought about it and shook his head; it wasn’t possible!

What about the Ninth Layer of Refining Star?

During the Ninth Layer of Refining Star, maybe there would be a possibility.

But the problem was, Xu Jin was also only at the Fifth Layer of Refining Star. By the time Xu Jin reached the Ninth Layer of Refining Star, how immensely powerful would he have become!

Suddenly, Lv Kun felt somewhat despairing.

How to surpass him.

Heart-stopping!

Yan Chen had received Lv Kun’s transmission and only then came to the God-Killing Battlefield.

After seeing Xu Jin’s astounding progression to the 127th level, Yan Chen stayed silent for a long while, then silently turned and headed for the Star Picking Plaza.

He directly purchased one hundred two-hour increments of cultivation time in the Fourth Order Star Power Secret Realm.

Hard cultivation!

Hard cultivation!

Hard cultivation!

Compared to them, Ji Hongli was somewhat late to realize.

It was her teacher, Song Ziyue, who informed her.

”Hongli, you need to work hard. Look at Xu Jin’s ranking in the God-Killing Battlefield, the 127th level. Your rank at the 88th level makes your teacher lose face, and I feel embarrassed to attend the next Minglun Hall meeting,” this was the Starlight Transmission sent by Song Ziyue to Ji Hongli.

”Okay, teacher, I understand. I will cultivate hard, strive hard!”

Ji Hongli replied with a Starlight Transmission to her teacher and instantly entered the God-Killing Battlefield. She glanced twice, saw Xu Jin’s rank at the 127th level, and jumped up happily.

The next moment, Ji Hongli happily hopped towards her grandfather Ji Bang’s study.

”Grandfather, grandfather, look, Xu Jin’s ranking in the God-Killing Battlefield has gone up again, gone up again.”

Ji Bang, who was shaken by Ji Hongli’s excitement, also used the Star Picking Order to enter the God-Killing Battlefield. With just one look, his pupils shrank!

Refining Star’s Fifth Layer cultivation, yet he had reached the 127th level of the God-Killing Battlefield?

What did this signify?

This potential...

Suddenly, Ji Bang smiled at his granddaughter Ji Hongli.

This granddaughter was a lucky star.

At her insistence, he had given enough attention to Xu Jin and had prepared a Fourth Tier Star Artifact.

Initially, he thought of giving some Emblems or something.

Now it seemed, a Fourth Tier Star Artifact as a token of appreciation might still not be enough!
