Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 510: Chapter 217 Clumsy_2

Ninety percent would be considered a very good foundation Chapter.

Xu Jin had practiced the Star Pivot Star Pattern tens of thousands of times within the Star Lamp, and it couldn’t be more familiar to him.

A powerful surge of Divine Soul Power flowed in, sketching as if writing, quickly completing the Star Pivot Star Pattern, which instantly enveloped the entire Star Jade, causing it to emit a faint fluctuation of Star Power.

The foundation Chapter, accomplished in one go.

With a sweep of his thoughts, Xu Jin determined that approximately eighty-five percent of the Star Power had been confined within the Star Pivot Star Pattern.

Not bad, passable.

But not excellent.

After a few moments of reflection, Xu Jin reviewed the engraving process and the details to note.

Xu Jin then picked up the second piece of Star Jade, beginning to create another foundation Chapter.

Five breaths later, the second foundation Chapter was complete.

Ninety percent.

Now at an excellent standard.

Xu Jin was very satisfied.

After reflecting once again, he began to create the third foundation Chapter, and in less than five breaths, it was done.

Feeling it with his mind, Xu Jin lightly smiled, noticing further improvement.

Ninety-one percent Star Power.

The quality of the foundation Chapters was closely related to the rank of the emblem.

Only foundation Chapters with ninety percent or more confined Star Power within the Star Jade could produce corresponding Middle Grade emblems.

Connected Star Patterns must be engraved at the same time as the Star Skills, connecting the Star Pivot Star Pattern with the Star Skill to be engraved, forming a closed loop.

In Xu Jin’s understanding, it’s like taking the foundation Chapter with the engraved Star Pivot Star Pattern to be like the body’s Star Core—this is the energy source. Connected Star Patterns are like the engine that converts and outputs energy, and the Star Skill Star Patterns are the drive system.

Simple to say, but challenging to do.

Using Divine Thought to shape the Star Skills with the Star Power of the Star Pivot without release, then connecting and solidifying with the Connected Star Patterns one by one.

This step, being the most time-consuming, was also the most critical.

Beginner Xu Jin’s work was clumsy, with several near-failure explosion accidents, but he had managed to push through relying on his immense Divine Soul Power.

Fifty breaths later, under Xu Jin’s guidance, all traces of Star Power returned to the confines of the Star Jade, and then he added a layer of sealing Star Pattern to it, locking the Star Power within to prevent it from diminishing over time.

A second-tier Star Shield Emblem was completed.

Bang!

Bang!

In the Academic Hall, the sound of explosions was incessant.

One after another, disciples experienced failed engravings.

Some seasoned disciples had set up their Body Protective Starlight early on, while others, inexperienced, were left in helpless disarray by the failed engravings.

This was also one of the difficulties of emblem engraving.

Lower-tier emblems were manageable.

But mid-high-tier emblems had substantial value, contained vast amounts of Star Power, and could result not only in great loss if exploded during the engraving process but also in severe injury to oneself.

Bang!

An explosion sounded instantly next to Xu Jin, as Ji Hongli suddenly leaped up—her emblem had exploded.

”Senior Brother, sorry...”

Seeing that she had affected Xu Jin, Ji Hongli felt a bit embarrassed.

Suddenly, Ji Hongli noticed the second-tier emblem in Xu Jin’s hand and said in surprise, ”Senior Brother, is this... complete?”

Xu Jin nodded slightly.

Ji Hongli was stunned, ”Senior Brother, how many times have you attended this class? Today is my second time.”

”It’s my first time,” Xu Jin replied frankly.

”Made it on your first attempt,” Ji Hongli looked at Xu Jin, her eyes filled with adoration.

Senior Brother was truly living up to his title!

Wang Jiugao on the right was distracted by Ji Hongli’s words, glanced at Xu Jin, and then Bang!

He, too, experienced a failed engraving.

Luckily, following Academician Kou’s instructions, he had erected his Body Protective Starlight early, or he would also have been extremely disheveled.

Then, with a bitter expression, he looked toward Xu Jin.

No envy, only admiration!

Senior Brother was really something!

”Focus, stabilize your Divine Soul Power, and continue.”

Xu Jin offered a bit of advice to both of them and proceeded to start engraving the second emblem.

With experience from engraving the first, Xu Jin rectified the mistakes he had made before.

The number of potential disasters diminished from over a dozen in the first attempt to just three, which he overcame with Divine Soul Power.

Successful on the second attempt.

After carefully reviewing for a minute, Xu Jin commenced his third attempt at engraving.

The third engraving went incredibly smoothly, learning from the lessons of the previous two times.

Done in one go.

In just under forty breaths, a second-tier Star Shield Emblem was successfully created.

At the same time, both Ji Hongli and Wang Jiugao finally heaved sighs of relief one after another.

Both were successful!

They had successfully created their emblems.

However, it was Ji Hongli’s second time in class, and Wang Jiugao’s third.

”Senior Brother, I’ve done it.”

Ji Hongli smiled sweetly, radiating joy, and instinctively reached for Xu Jin’s arm but then quickly, like a rabbit, retreated from him.

On the right, Wang Jiugao was about to share his good news when he suddenly noticed the three pieces of Star Jade in front of Xu Jin where no Star Power fluctuation was emanating— he was stunned.

”Senior Brother, all three of yours are complete?”

Star Jades were supposed to emit Star Power fluctuations, but finished emblems, with the Star Power confined and sealed, would not.

Xu Jin nodded.

Then, next to him, Ji Hongli, overwhelmed with joy, immediately said, ”Senior Brother, you should report quickly, there are rewards! Not to mention the rewards, but the first three who complete all their pieces will even receive personal guidance from the Academician.”

”Isn’t that right?”

As Xu Jin was about to report, suddenly a disciple stood up and said, ”Academician, I have completed mine.”

Xu Jin was just a step late.

Immediately, a second disciple also reported success.

Seeing this, Xu Jin also quickly got up to report but was already the third.

With eyes closed, resting, Kou Jing heard this, opened his eyes, not even looking, summoned first the pieces from the initial reporting disciple to his side, with Divine Thought sinking in, he started to give feedback.
