Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1572: Chapter 644: The Last Opportunity

The State Preceptor is busy with state affairs and has no time to help him test his sword, which Xu Jin feels quite regrettable.

Although the Wood Spirit Palace Master is also Ninth Tier, their cultivation level is still somewhat inferior to the State Preceptor.

However, the Wood Spirit Palace Master and Elder Peng, who came to test Xu Jin’s sword, are very much looking forward to it.

The Wood Spirit Palace Master performed well, having imparted the Eighth Tier Star Healing to Xu Jin last time. Over the past few months, the Wood Elephant and Thunder Elephant at the Lower Eighth Tier were successively taught, and having successfully comprehended all of it, they feel their strength has drastically improved, eagerly anticipating this sword test.

Elder Peng feels likewise.

Previously, when Elder Peng’s cultivation level was at the Mid Eighth Rank, he could battle at the Peak Eighth Tier. Now, his cultivation level has reached the Late Eighth Tier, making him eager to try.

Especially knowing that Xu Jin could easily suppress an Early Ninth Tier expert before.

He wants to test his skills to see where he stands and find his shortcomings.

Of course, defeating Xu Jin is not a luxury he dares to dream of.

”Palace Master, I should be able to withstand three to five moves from Xu Jin, right?” Elder Peng has some expectations for this sword test and even sent a Starlight Transmission to National Master Cheng Yuexiao.

”It’s possible. Just give it your all. This kind of opportunity is very rare,” Cheng Yuexiao replied to Elder Peng.

”Rest assured, Palace Master, I won’t waste such an opportunity.”

Any opportunity to face the top experts of the world is extremely rare.

Above Guard City number thirteen, Xu Jin looked at Elder Peng and the Wood Spirit Palace Master, and said, ”Which of you would like to go first?”

”Let me go.” Elder Peng said excitedly.

”Alright.”

Looking at Elder Peng, Xu Jin hesitated and said, ”Elder Peng, why don’t you fully defend first, and let me try a move. I am uncertain about my power levels after the breakthrough.”

Xu Jin could see that Elder Peng was indeed very strong, but he was concerned about injuring him.

”Okay. You can try a move first.”

Elder Peng was also agreeable and immediately exerted full effort to set up defenses, spending three breaths of time to arrange a Fourth Layer defense, aiming to reinforce his defenses to the utmost.

This is just a spar; if it were a real battle, he wouldn’t have time to set up such a thorough defense.

”I’m ready.”

”Be careful!”

In the next moment, the Candou Platform’s Law Stars flashed, a flicker of thunder in the palm, and a Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash shot towards Elder Peng.

”Good move!”

Elder Peng also punched out, the earth-colored starlight surging like a meteor towards Xu Jin’s Thunder Light!

Earth Series Star Skill Meteor Fall.

Bang!

With preparation in mind, Elder Peng’s Star Skill accurately hit Xu Jin’s Thunder Light.

In an instant, the earth-colored starlight, like snow splashed with hot soup, was dissolved, but most of Xu Jin’s Thunder Light was also dissipated, crashing into the defensive layer set by Elder Peng.

Amidst the Thunder Light, all four layers of defense shattered, but the low-grade Seven-Star Spirit Armor’s radiance flared up repeatedly to finally disperse the Thunder Light.

This made Elder Peng’s expression change sharply.

Unexpectedly, despite preparation, he still had to rely on the Seven-Star Spirit Armor to fully withstand it.

It meant he exerted full effort to set up defense, attacked once, while Xu Jin only used one move.

If it were a fair situation, under this move, he would be severely injured!

Possibly even blasted to pieces.

After all, in real combat, he wouldn’t have several breaths of time to fully set up defenses.

”Again, this time, I’ll take the initiative to attack.”

Elder Peng wanted to try again.

Xu Jin smiled, ”Elder Peng, why don’t you set up your defenses again; this time, I’m going to use Seventh Tier strength.” Xu Jin glanced at the sky and laughed.

Hearing this, Elder Peng nodded. He realized earlier that Xu Jin hadn’t used his Seventh Tier strength.

After three breaths, the four layers of defense formed. Elder Peng signaled Xu Jin to make a move, but just one move made Xu Jin fully understand Elder Peng’s strengths and weaknesses.

”Elder Peng, you’d better infuse some special power to avoid injury.”

Hearing this, Elder Peng nodded in confusion but nonetheless injected a strand of Earth Core Earth Charm, a precious power he was reluctant to waste.

Suddenly, National Master Cheng Yuexiao’s voice came through his mind, ”Elder Peng, inject more, too little, and Xu Jin might not dare to go all out.”

The National Master Cheng Yuexiao was secretly observing the battle.

Elder Peng was taken aback, looking at Xu Jin’s smiling face, and suddenly smiled wryly, finally understanding.

So far, he wasn’t even qualified as a sparring partner.

Laughably, he thought of testing his own level.

So, he gritted his teeth.

In the next instant, Elder Peng aggressively injected ten points of Earth Core Earth Charm into his strongest defense.

”King of Territory, I’ve already used special power, and now I can easily receive the full force strike of an Early Ninth Tier with preparation, and this time it’s my turn to strike first!”

At that same moment, green Wind Series Star Power and Fire Series Star Power erupted together. This was Elder Peng’s current strongest Star Skill, which he called ”Wind and Fire Camp”!

Whoosh!

In a piercing whistle, the wind bundled the flames, wind aiding fire, surging towards Xu Jin like a venomous python.

As he made his move, Elder Peng thought a sparring partner should be aware of their role; if the sparring partner is unqualified, then what’s the point of being one.

Making up his mind, he separately infused three strands of Surging Wind Charm and Heaven and Earth Fire Rhythm to intensify the attack.

This attack could even repel a Ninth Tier Early expert.

In an instant, Xu Jin sensed those special power fluctuations and finally breathed a sigh of relief, ready to strike.

The Daoist Embryo’s eyes opened, and in the sky, the Spiritual Brilliance Destiny Star lightly flashed, and a streak of Thunder Series Starlight descended into Xu Jin’s body.

As it entered, the Candou Platform’s Thunder Law Star suddenly flashed, causing the Thunder Series Starlight to expand by fifty percent before merging into Xu Jin’s just-unleashed Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash.
