Star Refining Third Layer!

Ning Yuchan had previously mentioned in class that when encountering the Eight Desolate Clan, one must pay attention to their animal characteristics—those features are their strongest points.

The member of the Eight Desolate Clan was darting around agilely, but his solitary tail, like a venomous snake, was raised high, fixating deadly on Xu Jin.

Forty meters.

Twenty meters.

Xu Jin still remained where he was.

Xu Jin had already devised a tactic, one that comparatively conserved Star Power.

Ten meters!

The moment the solitary tail of the Eight Desolate Clan member trembled, Xu Jin explosively moved as well, using the Flying Star Step to leap into the air while simultaneously, two Star Ropes shot out like lightning, directly twisting around the tail of the Eight Desolate Clan member.

In an instant, the Eight Desolate Alien Race member roared, his tail immobilized; yet, he turned intending to attack Xu Jin.

But Xu Jin flitted around him quickly like a kite.

As he floated quickly, Star Arrows fiercely blasted!

Without any suspense, under the Kite Ring Strategy, unless one had robust Star Power and was extremely skilled in defense, death was the only path.

Four Star Arrows caused the member of the Eight Desolate Alien Race to dissipate into Starlight.

Xu Jin’s score instantly increased by twenty-five points.

On the Martial Observation Platform, Liu Qingzhu, who was intently watching Xu Jin, had an increasingly astonished look in her eyes.

Killed a Star Refining Third Layer without any damage.

Killed a Star Refining Third Layer in the span of a breath.

Using just seven basic Star Skills, he had slain a Star Refining Third Layer.

Suddenly, Liu Qingzhu felt that her students were not unjustly defeated.

And that exceptionally stunning Kite Ring Strategy.

This tactic was, in fact, available within the National Taoist Institute and even taught.

Yet no one played it as finely as Xu Jin.

From this moment on, Liu Qingzhu knew that she was destined to be nailed to the National Daoist Institute’s pillar of shame.

For the first time in nearly a thousand years, a disciple of the Da Chen National Daoist School had lost the first place in the autumn exam, coached by Vice Academician Liu Qingzhu.

At another location, Meng Qingqiu took a slight breath and looked at her score, which had just reached one hundred and twenty, and relaxed slightly.

As Academician Liu had said, in actual combat learning, a score of one hundred generally secures a place in the top ten.

She had one hundred and twenty points, and with 15 minutes left, she should be able to contend for first place.

Yuan Feiqing, Yan Chen, and others were also striving hard to find enemies and fight, barely crossing one hundred points.

Yet they were still trying.

They must achieve a better ranking.

The higher the ranking, the more likely one is to be chosen by a good teacher to become a disciple within the National Taoist Institute.

In the canyon, Xu Jin stood with his sword, slightly panting.

As this real battle neared its end, Alien Race members below the Late Period of the Star Casting Realm were becoming scarce.

Within this 15 minutes, Xu Jin had already consecutively slain four members of the Star Refining Realm.

His score had already surpassed the two hundred mark.

But inside his body, less than thirty percent of his Star Power remained.

Suddenly, an Alien Race member with extremely long legs, practically all legs from the chest down, and arms reaching past the knees, appeared in Xu Jin’s view.

Xu Jin’s gaze instantly narrowed.

A Star Refining Fifth Layer Alien Race elite!

And it had sought him out.

Yet Xu Jin was not the least bit afraid and burst forth to meet him.

Perfect, he also wanted to test his Combat Power.

In the next moment, Xu Jin and the Star Refining Fifth Layer Alien Race elite clashed.

This Alien Race elite was incredibly fast, and Xu Jin’s Star Rope failed to snare him for the first time, instead being shattered by the opponent.

The suppression of higher Cultivation Level also appeared.

A touch from the Star Refining Fifth Layer Alien could shatter Xu Jin’s Star Rope.

The Kite Ring Strategy was ineffective.

In the next moment, taking advantage of the Alien’s leap, Xu Jin used the Flying Star Step to explosively drop and slide backward on the ground, then shadowed him from below and behind, striking with force.

His fingers flicked in rapid succession.

Within a moment, ten consecutive Star Arrows were unleashed.

By the time Xu Jin slid from beneath the Alien elite, the Alien elite too was reduced to Starlight and dissipated.

Xu Jin’s score instantly increased by fifty points.

Up at the Martial Observation Platform, Liu Qingzhu, who had been keenly watching Xu Jin’s battle, suddenly was dumbfounded.

Due to the angle, she completely missed seeing Xu Jin unleash ten Star Arrows with a flick of his fingers.

Somehow, the Alien elite was taken out.

"Was it a sudden strike at a vulnerable spot below the waist?" Liu Qingzhu was puzzled.

On the Martial Observation Platform, many of the high-ranking officials were paying more attention to the scores in the sky.

When the first-ranked Xu Jin’s score jumped to [two hundred seventy-four points], many raised an eyebrow, and Lu Chenfeng’s expression grew even more gloomy.

"Huh, Star Refining Fifth Layer, that seemed pretty easy. I barely saw it," Right Libationer Song Bing suddenly commented with a laugh, "Little Dong, this Xu Jin from your Jinshan Taoist Institute is very impressive. You’ve trained an extraordinary disciple.

National Master, don’t you think so?" Song Bing’s last comment turned to the seated National Master Cheng Yuxiao.

National Master Cheng Yuxiao stroked his shoulder-length hair and smiled, "This young man is very interesting."

"Is the National Master also curious?

I am too.

I’m still wondering, where is Xu Jin’s limit?

Why don’t we test him a bit more?" Song Bing suggested.

"Oh, how should we test him?" asked the National Master.

"According to the rules, the top three can only encounter a Star Refining Fifth Layer once. But since this Xu Jin is so interesting, why don’t we give him another, to test his limits?" Song Bing proposed with a smile, but National Master Cheng Yuxiao didn’t respond.

Seeing no one taking up the topic, Song Bing instead turned and asked Yan State’s State Taoist Institute Dean Lu Chenfeng, "Chenfeng, Xu Jin is your man. What do you say, shall we test his limits?"

"If the National Master and Libationer wish to test, then I definitely have no objections!" Lu Chenfeng gave a firm reply.
