Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 635: Chapter 261 Fusion

Xu Jin’s recovery this time, using Warm Dream, took much longer than planned.

More than half of his Divine Soul Power had been depleted and Star Power had also been greatly exhausted. Xu Jin’s original plan was to partially recover with a Pill and then, after sleeping for three quarters of two hours under the effects of Warm Dream, his Divine Soul Power would be back at its peak.

But in reality, he was startled awake more than ten times by the alert Protectors due to the Mingji Star Pattern.

The constant passing of members from the Fire Spirit Clan meant that Xu Jin was continually roused from his sleep.

He couldn’t afford to stay unguarded.

As a result, it took Xu Jin just over two hours to fully recover this time.

This also made Xu Jin urgently realize the need for a protective Star Skill or an array for his protection.

But for now, he could only hold on to this thought.

Xu Jin did not leave in a hurry but moved the body of the Fire Spirit King and extracted its Star Core.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Two of them.

After placing them into the Candou Platform and getting a clear look at the two Star Cores of the Fire Spirit King, Xu Jin was even more pleasantly surprised.

[Upper Fifth Tier Fire Spirit: Protective abilities acquired, Mid-tier Fire Origin, Mid-tier Fire Element, Flame Dragon]

[Upper Fifth Tier Fire Spirit: Protective abilities acquired, Mid-tier Fire Origin, Mid-tier Fire Element, Fire Shadow]

A mere glance was enough to thrill Xu Jin.

Indeed, the gains from a King’s Star Core are always substantial.

The Flame Dragon was the very method that the Fire Spirit King had used to attack Xu Jin, extremely sharp and effective.

But what delighted Xu Jin were the two Mid-tier Fire Elements and two Mid-tier Fire Origins.

There was no need to mention the Fire Element.

Among the many Fire Spirit Star Cores that Xu Jin had obtained before, Fire Elements were very rare, and those obtained occasionally were only of the Initial Tier Fire Element.

This was the first time he would use a Mid-tier Fire Element Star Pattern.

Without any hesitation, Xu Jin replaced the two Upper Fifth Tier Fire Spirit Star Cores, exchanging the previously used Upper Fourth Tier and Middle Fifth Tier Fire Spirit Star Cores.

Among the acquired Protective Star Patterns, an Initial Tier Fire Element was replaced with a Mid-tier Fire Element.

With the other one, Xu Jin did a small test.

After exchanging the Initial Tier Fire Element for the Mid-tier Fire Element, Xu Jin felt that the potency of his Fire Series Star Skills had increased by more than one-tenth, probably exceeding one and a half tenths.

In the test, Xu Jin also found that the Upper Fourth Tier Fire Spirit Star Core’s provided Mid-tier Fire Origin was clearly weaker than the Upper Fifth Tier Fire Spirit’s provided Mid-tier Fire Origin.

Thinking about it made sense since the Fire Origin Star Pattern of the Lower Fourth Tier was a Mid-tier Fire Origin, and so was the Fire Origin Star Pattern of the Upper Sixth Tier.

The Star Core of the Upper Fifth Tier Fire Spirit King was a bit stronger.

After extensive testing, Xu Jin also replaced the Mid-tier Fire Origin with the Mid-tier Fire Element.

Xu Jin discovered that the potency of two Mid-tier Fire Elements was slightly stronger than that of one Mid-tier Fire Element coupled with one Mid-tier Fire Origin.

Compared to the previous combination of one Initial Tier Fire Element and one Mid-tier Fire Origin, the potency increase should have surpassed two-tenths.

But even more pleasantly surprising was the Fire Shadow Protector.

The Fire Shadow allowed Xu Jin to condense a shadowy fire clone.

If Xu Jin was willing to separate a strand of his Divine Soul, then he could condense a freely controlled separate body.

Of course, the inferior Divine Separation Technique that Xu Jin had previously obtained from the Fire Radiant Star Domain wouldn’t work.

It was hastily made and full of flaws.

But this was no problem at all, as within the Divine Soul Secret Techniques obtained from the Lingji Star Hall, there was an orthodox Divine Separation Secret Technique.

However, the procedure was complex and required a lengthy amount of time.

Xu Jin searched the body of the Fire Spirit King and found nothing of value.

Possibly considering itself invincible and powerful, the Fire Spirit King did not wear any Star Armor or the like.

However, Xu Jin discovered a super-large-sized Red Jade Thumb Ring on the finger of the Fire Spirit King.

Within the Red Jade Thumb Ring, a fiery light circulated, and at a glance, it faintly resembled a Red Dragon moving about, it looked exceptionally dazzling and commanded respect.

The moment Xu Jin’s heart and mind sank into it, that dragon-shaped red light rushed towards Xu Jin to assault him, seeking to devour his Divine Thought.

But the Fire Spirit Heart within Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace shone brilliantly in that instant.

The Red Dragon within the Red Jade Thumb Ring immediately settled down, as if it had submitted.

After sinking his heart and thoughts into it for a while, Xu Jin became pleasantly surprised.

After all the trouble, it turned out that the Red Jade Thumb Ring was the biggest gain after slaying the Fire Spirit King.

The dragon-shaped red light within the Red Jade Thumb Ring, of unknown origin, could actually amplify Fire Series Star Skills.

Wearing it and activating Fire Series Star Skills, Xu Jin could just keep a trace of his heart and thoughts sunk into the Red Jade Thumb Ring to boost the potency of the Fire Series Star Skills by one-tenth.

All Fire Series Star Skills could enhance Star Power by one-tenth.

Xu Jin tried it, and even his Dazzling Purple Skyfire could be amplified by one-tenth.

This was truly a Divine Artifact.

This dragon-shaped red light within the Red Jade Thumb Ring should not be some Dragon Spirit but was more likely something like the Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Only such a thing could produce such a wide-range of amplifying effects.

Red Dragon Ring.

Xu Jin changed its name.

Then, after imprinting it with his heart and thoughts, he wore it directly on his finger.

This was a fine item indeed.

But later, when his Divine Thought sank into the Central Star Palace to sort out the various Heaven and Earth Star Wills contained within, the amplification provided by the two newly obtained Initial Tier Fire Cloud Hearts to Xu Jin’s Fire Series Star Skills was significantly less than two-tenths.

Only about one and a half tenths.

This surprised Xu Jin somewhat.

Upon careful sensing, he quickly found the reason.

There was overlap.

The Mid-tier Red Scale Heart, two Initial Tier Fire Bamboo Hearts, and two Initial Tier Fire Cloud Hearts that Xu Jin had acquired were all Fire Series Heaven and Earth Star Wills, but there was overlap.

The powers contained within these Fire Series Heaven and Earth Wills had commonalities.
