Chapter 142: Chapter 101: The Eldest Apprentice Brother and Invisibility (Please Subscribe)

Martial Arts Hall, Small Battlefield Area No. 1.

Hearing the voice of the Inspection Officer, the eldest disciple Wang Weisheng donned the Taoist Institute’s Protective Double Layer Soft Armor and entered the Small Battlefield No. 1, his expression solemn.

The strength that Xu Jin had just demonstrated had taken him by surprise, especially the bizarre movement technique, which had astonished him. Could the Flying Star Step really be used in such a way?

Wang Weisheng prepared to try it himself.

But all this had done was earn Xu Jin enough of his attention.

Based on what had been revealed so far, Xu Jin still couldn’t beat him, the eldest disciple.

At the same moment, as soon as the others heard that someone was challenging the eldest disciple Wang Weisheng, they all congregated around, even temporarily halting the other challenge matches.

Xu Jin entered the battlefield and saluted, "Eldest brother!"

Wang Weisheng also saluted in return, "Aren’t you wearing your armor?"

"Wearing it would only hinder my movement technique."

Xu Jin had given a reasonable explanation, but Wang Weisheng understood the underlying message: You, Wang Weisheng, can’t injure me.

This made the eldest disciple Wang Weisheng somewhat irritated.

Wasn’t that a bit too arrogant?

His position as the eldest disciple, dominating the rankings for the past half-year, especially in the procurement list, was not without reason; the resources he acquired mostly went into his cultivation.

"Very well, then be careful."

"Please!"

"Begin!"

At the command of the Inspection Officer, Xu Jin instantly turned into an afterimage, launching a proactive attack.

But as Xu Jin burst forth, Wang Weisheng’s three-meter Starlight Rope instantly coalesced and furiously whipped towards Xu Jin like a venomous snake, instantaneously blocking all directions of Xu Jin’s assault.

Xu Jin, sprinting forward, focused his gaze and with a burst of the Flying Star Step, he soared skyward, dodging Wang Weisheng’s chain attack.

With consecutive flashes of starlight underfoot, Xu Jin already had maneuvered behind Wang Weisheng.

But at the instant Xu Jin pounced, another Starlight Rope suddenly appeared in Wang Weisheng’s left hand.

Two strands of Starlight Rope, one in front and one behind like venomous snakes, instantly ensnared Xu Jin from all directions.

Wang Weisheng had rich combat experience and timed his moves impeccably, making it too late for Xu Jin to change direction; he could only dodge one of the Star Ropes.

A flash of Starlight Rope ensnared Xu Jin.

In the following instant, with just a tightening of the Starlight Rope, Xu Jin would be severely injured.

Everyone watching tensed up in the blink of an eye.

A fraction of the fellow senior disciples let out a sigh of relief.

This vigorously rising new junior brother had finally been restrained.

Others, like Lu Xianbing, Qian Xiaohu, and Yu Guan, felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Before this, they had been ruthlessly defeated by senior brothers from previous terms, and many of their rankings in the Middle Court had been snatched away; a few had even lost their status as Middle Court disciples.

At this moment, they saw Xu Jin as the representative of all the new disciples, and naturally, they hoped that Xu Jin would win.

However, Xu Jin on the battlefield was cool and unhurried.

He had set up the Starlight Shield right from the start.

But at the moment, Xu Jin was not relying on the Starlight Shield.

The moment he was entangled by the Starlight Rope, a Star Ring instantly lashed out.

A direct clash.

Xu Jin’s Star Skill, Star Ring, collided head-on with the elder brother Wang Weisheng’s Star Skill, Star Rope.

On this, including Wang Weisheng, all had the utmost confidence.

Perhaps Xu Jin’s talent in cultivating Star Skills was strong, but the power of a Star Skill mainly depended on the extent of one’s Star Power.

Wang Weisheng had completed six cycles of Purification over the past half-year, leading to his Star Power being exceptionally robust.

He was confident.

But in the next instant, Wang Weisheng’s expression froze.

The Star Ring and Star Rope collided and shattered at the same time!

Both dissipated together?

Shouldn’t his Star Rope have annihilated the Star Ring?

How was it possible that Xu Jin’s Star Skill had nearly the same power as his?

Wang Weisheng had no time to contemplate.

Because as soon as Xu Jin’s Star Ring shattered his Star Rope, Xu Jin had instantly exerted power, moving within one meter of Wang Weisheng.

Instantly, the Star Ring lashed out again.

Going on the offensive.

Wang Weisheng sneered.

He too could cast Instantaneous Star Skills.

The Starlight Shield, and Star Shield were both in place.

As the Star Ring spread out, the Star Shield engulfed it; as the Star Ring lashed out again, the recently emerged Star Shield reappeared.

In an instant, the two were locked in a Star Skill standoff.

Five exchanges in the blink of an eye, but Xu Jin’s mind raced.

This couldn’t continue.

Operating the Mingji Star Pattern, he could feel very clearly that Wang Weisheng’s Star Power was far more vigorous than his.

The reason why Xu Jin’s Star Skill had comparable power to Wang Weisheng’s was due to the substantial enhancement from the Divine Soul Power.

In fact, for Xu Jin to win at that moment would have been exceedingly easy.

He merely needed to stir the Divine Soul Power slightly, doubling the amount of Star Power unleashed with his Star Skill, and he could have effortlessly seized victory.

But this was a mere sparring match between sect members.

Exposing that power wasn’t necessary,

and as for the Protection Star Pattern of the Candou Platform, there was even less need to use it.

Therefore, Xu Jin had to change his tactics.

Continuing like this, with less robust Star Power than Wang Weisheng, would mean certain defeat for Xu Jin.

In the next instant, Xu Jin’s waist and feet erupted with starlight, and his entire body instantly flew up like a kite. Though he was in flight, he was just two meters away from Wang Weisheng.

In the moment he took flight, Xu Jin waved his hands continuously—each wave sending forth a Star Arrow.

The firing rate was astonishingly fast.

As he fired Star Arrows, bursts of starlight from his side sent him circling rapidly around Wang Weisheng as the center.

It felt as though he was tied with a rope around Wang Weisheng’s waist, swiftly flying in circles, while his hands tirelessly bombard with Star Arrows.
