Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 418: Chapter 184: Entanglement_2

”You’re only the older sister because your whole family is full of older sisters.”

Xu Jin was utterly bewildered.

Their focus wasn’t even in the same league—he was worried about saving face, and she was concerned with her title.

Men and women really are different.

With that, Xu Jin had no choice but to pull out an outdated nickname from his past life.

”Missy, what do you mean by taking care of my face?”

The nickname made Drunk Moon Immortal’s stiff toes curl, and her pretty face flushed a bit.

Normally, she wouldn’t mind being called ’miss,’ but why does ’missy’ sound so soothing?

This guy really has a sweet tongue; who knows how many girls he has charmed.

Xu Jin had no idea he had scored another hit, but Drunk Moon Immortal’s Starlight Transmission came through anyway.

”I’ve been advancing too rapidly in my cultivation. I was afraid that sparring with you might hit your confidence, so I didn’t contact you for a while. I thought about reaching out after I hit a bottleneck, to see how you measure up.”

This Starlight Transmission left Xu Jin dumbstruck.

She was looking out for his ego all this time.

That being said, Xu Jin no longer cared about saving that bit of starlight.

”Can your cultivation be too fast? Tell me about it, see if it hits me?”

”Really? You’re not scared?”

Xu Jin was speechless and didn’t reply; this conversation was draining too much of his star power.

Star-picking Tower didn’t have an unlimited monthly subscription like some platforms did in his previous life—they should at least offer a text package.

A single transmission for a strand of starlight was a rip-off.

Sure enough, knowing Xu Jin’s stinginess, Drunk Moon Immortal sent another Starlight Transmission right away.

”I’ve reached top-grade Star Casting in the Dual Star Palace, Sixth Layer Refining Star in the Central Star Palace, Fifth Layer Refining Star in the Lower Star Palace. Actually, I could cultivate faster, but engraving star patterns is slower for me; it takes six or seven days to successfully engrave one pattern.

Half of my time has been spent on engraving star patterns; otherwise, I would have reached the Sixth Layer in the Lower Star Palace by now.”

Xu Jin’s eyes widened.

Her cultivation progress was indeed fierce.

He had been ’cheating’ using nourished top-grade Star Refining Pills and had only reached the Fifth Layer.

Whereas Drunk Moon Immortal, having broken through only about seven or eight days before Xu Jin, and while Xu Jin had been delayed for three days during the Selective Combat, was ten days ahead of him.

How did she cultivate so quickly?

Xu Jin grew curious.

”Amazing! Your cultivating speed is almost inhuman! How do you do it?”

”Not bad, I guess. I use Star Refining Pills personally picked and processed by my grandfather. They have little to no Pill Poison and the recipe has been slightly altered. I can take eight or nine pills a day. Then, I cultivate inside my personal Gathering Stars Array.

You might not know about the Gathering Stars Array. If you were a disciple of the Star Hall or the Taoist Institute, you’d probably know about the Star Power Secret Realm.

The Star Power Concentration in the Gathering Stars Array where I cultivate is comparable to the Sixth Tier Star Power Secret Realm you use—maybe even stronger.”

Xu Jin was speechless.

Such overwhelming financial power.

Talk about being loaded!

Just the word ’soaking’ flaunts the wealth!

It seems that she must be the daughter of some top-tier powerhouse family.

Otherwise, she couldn’t have such high-end resources.

The cultivation conditions offered to Ji Hongli and Meng Qingqiu are far worse.

Ji Hongli and Meng Qingqiu came from what were considered top-tier wealthy families in Dachen.

Could she be from a Star Hall lineage?

”Want to have a duel?”

Suddenly, Xu Jin felt intrigued, eager to test the prowess of this top-notch, wealthy prodigy.

Given Drunk Moon Immortal’s pedigree, she must be considered a top-tier prodigy of the era, right?

The next moment, Xu Jin received a duel challenge from Drunk Moon Immortal, and he accepted.

Light and shadow shifted, and Drunk Moon Immortal appeared in front of Xu Jin.

The screen faded away, but the two didn’t immediately begin fighting.

”Long time no see,” Xu Jin greeted from a distance.

The next instant, Drunk Moon Immortal exclaimed in surprise, ”Refining Star Fifth Layer, your cultivation progress isn’t slow either! Oh right, what’s your cultivation level in the Lower Star Palace?”

”Third Layer,” Xu Jin bluffed.

”That’s quite quick. How about your star patterns, how many have you engraved?”

Xu Jin just smiled and didn’t answer; that was a secret every cultivator kept, even under an alias.

”Stingy.”

”Let’s go!”

In the next instant, Drunk Moon Immortal was surrounded by a pale moon-white Starlight, a rare sight, as she assumed a defensive stance.

It seemed she was still looking out for Xu Jin, fearing he might lose too miserably and lose face.

Swoosh!

A deafening sonic boom rang out, and a twenty-meter gap closed in what seemed like a single step for Xu Jin at his current speed.

Flame Burst!

Flames erupted.

The pale moon-white Starlight was instantly snuffed out!

Instant defeat!

Drunk Moon Immortal was stunned.

This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go. She had been considerate of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s pride, fearing she might overpower him too much—she hadn’t expected to be defeated instantly!

What about her face?

”Again!”

Quickly, Drunk Moon Immortal challenged Xu Jin again, and he accepted. This time, Drunk Moon Immortal was much more cautious.

As the battle started, she immediately went on the offensive.

The moon-white Starlight solidified into a huge Moon Blade, silently slashing at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin also wanted to test Drunk Moon Immortal’s level, not rushing his attacks, and giving her space to attack.

Suddenly, Xu Jin was a bit stunned.

The Moon Blade cut through his Rain Curtain Fire Shield effortlessly.

He knew how strong his Rain Curtain Fire Shield was—it couldn’t be breached by anyone below the Ninth Layer Refining Star.

Yet, it was sliced open like tofu in front of Drunk Moon Immortal’s Moon Blade.

The other thing effortlessly cut through was Xu Jin’s Body Protective Starlight.
