Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 488: Chapter 210: Star Master Zhang, What a Coincidence

Ying Ge looked at Xu Jin, who, though bound hand and foot, moved with ease, and his wooden expression became animated.

Yet it was only animated, and he didn’t take action, nor did he nod.

A few breaths later, the newly animated eyes once again became wooden, as if he had remembered something else.

Xu Jin frowned, and with a cold face asked, ”Do you still acknowledge me as your senior brother?”

”Uh-huh, acknowledge!”

This time, Ying Ge spoke up and also nodded.

”Then, can you learn what I just taught you?”

”I should... be able to!”

”Now, right away, show me, you know the Flying Star Step!”

Swoosh!

With a flick of the hand, a long whip of starlight instantly formed, ”If you can’t learn, don’t blame your senior brother for lashing out at you!”

The benefit of learning Star Pattern Star Transformation was just this, turning Star Power into whatever you wanted.

”Senior brother, what good is it to learn this?”

”I said, you learn first!”

Ying Ge was still hesitant, and Xu Jin’s whip lashed out.

This was a real whipping.

Caught off guard and without using Star Power to protect himself, Ying Ge was struck and started to scream in pain.

”If you acknowledge me as your senior brother, then learn first!” Xu Jin’s whip struck again, and Ying Ge screamed again.

Outside the door, Ying Bonian, who knew that Xu Jin had arrived, had just rushed over and, hearing the screams, the old butler became anxious to rush in but was stopped by Ying Bonian.

”Do you acknowledge me?” Xu Jin lashed out again!

”I acknowledge!” Between the pained screams, Ying Ge shouted.

”Then learn! Whenever you learn, that’s when I’ll stop whipping you!”

The next instant, under Xu Jin’s whip, Ying Ge clumsily but effectively began to use the Flying Star Step.

Ying Ge had long since been able to use the Flying Star Step instantaneously; it was the most used Star Skill.

As for exploding from different positions, it was really just a matter of intention and familiarity.

The Star Power had been refined throughout his body, flowing unobstructed.

And before, because of his family’s support, Ying Ge had taken the Mental-locking Golden Pill, climbed the Heavenly Ascending Stairs multiple times to hone his Divine Soul, and after becoming a True Inheritor, had also repeatedly undertaken such trials.

The last time he returned with Xu Jin from the Purple Wind Star Domain, he had been rewarded with the Refining God Golden Pill and the privilege to use the Heavenly Ascending Stairs, after which his Divine Soul Cultivation had made a leap to Star Casting, reaching the Late Period of the First Layer Refining Star, which was very helpful for skillfully using the Flying Star Step.

Within 15 minutes, Ying Ge had mastered the technique exhibited by Xu Jin.

Moving forward, turning, and leaping inside the room, he was completely at ease.

Clearly, having learned this technique, Ying Ge’s eyes were once again filled with life.

He was no longer the despondent man that he was before.

Apart from the physical disability, the greatest shock was actually the psychological impact of being unable to take care of himself in daily life.

”Did you learn Star Transformation Star Pattern?”

”I did.”

”Then learn from me.”

Xu Jin didn’t waste words, merely whipping the Star Whip fiercely, but on his bound right side, a Star Rope stretched out, flexibly picking up a cup.

Bang!

The cup shattered!

Xu Jin was startled, he had used too much force.

Trying again, he dropped it.

In just a few breaths, the flower pots, water cups, and all sorts of graspable items in Ying Ge’s room, all broke.

”Hurry, send things in.” Ying Bonian immediately ordered, ”Arrange for maids to deliver things, just deliver and then leave, without saying anything.”

Ying Bonian was outside, which Xu Jin naturally knew.

It was just a sad fact of parenthood.

After practicing and breaking a dozen more cups, Xu Jin was able to use the Star Rope to lift a water cup to his mouth to drink!

The next instant, with a wave of his whip, Xu Jin shouted at Ying Ge, ”Your turn!

It took me 15 minutes, I’ll give you 30; if you can’t, I’ll whip you again!”

Seeing the situation, Ying Ge also understood Xu Jin’s good intentions. Touched, he was also spurred by a sense of competitiveness.

”30 minutes, I won’t need that long!”

Xu Jin just snorted coldly and waited quietly, whip in hand.

After smashing more than thirty cups, Ying Ge also succeeded in doing the same.

And Xu Jin, thinking of new tricks - opening doors, closing doors, even assisting with dressing - the point was just one: learn!

If you can’t learn, you’ll get whipped!

*****

Within the Cangming Star Hall, Zhang Zhen and Du Tingyun were conspiring through Starlight Transmission, and both had reached a consensus concerning the assassination operation to obtain the Miracle Merit.

Both families would each contribute three Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Realm Late Period or Peak Experts.

But beyond reaching a consensus, Du Tingyun raised a very practical question.

”What if it’s really the National Taoist Institute baiting us?”

”Even if it’s a bait, our sudden assault, with such strong forces, plus our support, surely those involved in the assassination can return successfully, as long as Cheng Yuxiao doesn’t rush over immediately,” Zhang Zhen voiced his judgment.

”What if he does?”

”But we can’t just watch this opportunity slip by, can we? We mustn’t miss it!” Zhang Zhen became anxious, ”We can’t just sit and wait out of fear of Cheng Yuxiao!”

”Indeed, we cannot just sit and wait, but we can increase the certainty of this matter. For example, strike first to draw Cheng Yuxiao away,” Du Tingyun suggested.

”Draw Cheng Yuxiao away?”

Zhang Zhen scoffed, ”Who’s going to take on that suicidal mission?

Even you and I couldn’t escape unscathed from Cheng Yuxiao’s pursuit, right?”

”Think differently. To draw away doesn’t mean to confront Cheng Yuxiao head-on! In Wanyi, there’s a force that can easily provoke Cheng Yuxiao,” Du Tingyun explained.

”You mean?”

”Yes!”

”That could work, but there’s the fear we won’t be in time!”

”If we’re worried about being too late, what are we waiting for? Let’s act quickly. Who’s going? You or me?”
