Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1987: Chapter 848: Today You Surpass Your Past Self

The five Guard Peak Star Spirits appearing on the fifth peak remain five, but the lineup has changed.

One Tenth Rank Great Star Monarch, four Tenth Rank Little Star Monarchs.

For Xu Jin now, the Great Star Monarch is still a one-shot kill.

The terrifying augmentation of ten Thunder Law Paths plus the Chaos Thunder Spear, along with the augmentation from the Candou Platform and from his lifebound star, makes his power extraordinary.

One-shot kill.

The starlight left by the Tenth Rank Great Star Monarch contains four paths of Heaven and Earth Star Will.

In total, twelve paths of Heaven and Earth Star Will were harvested, but Xu Jin found only three paths useful.

This process is already familiar, and Xu Jin’s time taken is getting shorter and shorter.

Upon passing the fifth peak, Xu Jin’s score reached one hundred points, but the ranking saw a significant shift.

From over a thousand directly rising to over seven hundred.

Apparently, dealing with one Great Star Monarch and four Little Star Monarchs simultaneously is the watershed of candidates’ strength.

Upon stepping into the sixth peak, seeing the five appearing Guard Peak Star Spirits, Xu Jin knew that the sixth peak is likely the true watershed of strength.

Five Guard Peak Star Spirits, three Great Star Monarchs, two Little Star Monarchs.

Xu Jin still achieves one-shot kills within two breaths, obtaining sixteen paths of Heaven and Earth Star Will, with only three paths useful and non-overlapping with the previous harvests.

This purely depends on luck.

Simultaneously, Xu Jin, with one hundred and twenty points, directly raised his ranking to within the top two hundred.

At this moment, the top ten rankings have changed again.

[First place: He Moyu, one hundred and sixty points.]

[Second place: Xiang Yan, one hundred and forty points.]

[Third place: Ling Fei, one hundred and forty points.]

...

[Eleventh place: Yuan Chengfa, one hundred and thirty-five points.]

....

[Four hundred and thirty-fifth place, Su Xuan, one hundred and ten points.]

Overall, the top ten changed little, but it is apparent that Yuan Chengfa, from Dongxuan Star Realm, is showing a decline when challenging the seventh peak.

The time used for the seventh peak exceeded thirty breaths.

This is not a good sign.

”Yuan Chengfa might not be able to keep his current ranking.” Xu Jin thought as he stepped into the seventh peak.

The seventh peak’s lineup is indeed quite strong, five Great Star Monarchs.

This lineup, for Yuan Chengfa, Su Xuan, and others, their strengths don’t make it much of a threat.

Overcoming them is not difficult, but doing so in an extremely short time is.

However, for Xu Jin, there is no difficulty at all.

Still executing one-shot kills, after collecting several useful paths of Heaven and Earth Star Will, Xu Jin stepped into the eighth peak.

The lineup of Guard Peak Star Spirits on the eighth peak remains five, one Star Monarch, four Great Star Monarchs.

Yet with one Star Monarch leading, the attack obviously became much stronger.

The ripples on Xu Jin’s Chaos Fish Scale Armor were increased by several rings.

Then, this Star Monarch was eliminated by Xu Jin with a single finger point.

One Star Monarch contributed six paths of Heaven and Earth Star Will, combined with sixteen paths from four Great Star Monarchs, and the count increased significantly, with Xu Jin gathering more useful Heaven and Earth Star Will paths.

The ninth peak lineup is three Star Monarchs plus two Little Star Monarchs.

This lineup is somewhat sharp.

Even for Xu Jin, he began to fully activate the Chaos Thunder Spear, with five or six Lifebound Suppression Artifacts in use, taking more than ten breaths to completely slay them.

However, it was entirely Xu Jin’s initial power, using none of the burst techniques.

What cheered Xu Jin was, although the Guard Peak Star Spirit cultivation levels keep getting higher, the useful Heaven and Earth Star Will paths harvested are increasing exponentially.

So far, a total of twenty-six paths of Heaven and Earth Star Will have been gathered.

The harvest is considerable.

In the next moment, Xu Jin stepped forward, entering the Star Gate in the void, into the tenth peak.

As Xu Jin stepped into the tenth peak, his ranking on the leaderboard in the sky flickered.

At another space within the ninth peak, Yuan Chengfa, after having just defeated all the Guard Peak Star Spirits, was panting heavily; the recent battle was somewhat risky, yet his gaze instinctively turned to the leaderboard.

At a glance, he was somewhat lost.

[Yuan Chengfa: Twelfth place, score one hundred sixty-five points.]

Another rank dropped!

As he was about to see who surpassed him, the starlight flashed on the leaderboard in the sky, and Yuan Chengfa’s name suddenly dropped another rank.

Yuan Chengfa’s expression was stunned.

Thirteenth place now.

Another drop!

As he gazed blankly, Yuan Chengfa’s expression suddenly froze.

In front of him, indeed two new names appeared, but one name is familiar yet unfamiliar!

[Seventh place: Xu Jin, one hundred eighty points.]

”One hundred eighty points, how is it so high?”

”Did he pass the ninth realm with full points or already pass the tenth realm after losing earlier?”

Suddenly, Yuan Chengfa felt lost.

On the eighth peak, he already spent over sixty breaths.

At this moment, using the rules to adjust his state and prepare his Star Power for battle.

But Xu Jin...

Suddenly, Yuan Chengfa’s last line of defense in his heart shattered, with a bitter smile appearing on his face.

”So, the real gap between Xu Jin and me is not cultivation resources, but talent?”

With a bitter smile, Yuan Chengfa recalls the teachings of his ancestor, Yuanling True Monarch, ”Chengfa, you have had extremely high talent since childhood, with favorable conditions, hence you have been the first in Dongxuan Star Realm, hailed as a peerless genius.

But remember, there is always a sky beyond the sky, someone beyond every person.

This world, the hardest thing is not defeating others.

But defeating yourself, admitting your own mediocrity, or admitting your talent is not as good as another’s, is the hardest step!
