Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation
Chapter 213 - 121: The Four Irons and the Final Battle (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

He had never considered winning in his battle against Xu Jin.

He had painstakingly watched every one of Xu Jin’s previous fights and already had a grasp of Xu Jin’s strength.

Xu Jin’s foundation in Star Skill was more powerful than his own, and the application of Star Skill was incredibly skillful.

His Star Skill was also instantaneous, and so was Xu Jin’s, but clearly, Xu Jin’s instantaneous Star Skill was a bit faster than his.

As for tactics and technique, Xu Jin was streets ahead.

There was no chance of winning.

So, Ying Ge set a goal for himself to last a few more rounds under Xu Jin.

At least ten breaths!

That wasn’t asking for too much, right?

With the same cultivation level and both being top geniuses, just to last ten breaths seemed like such a modest goal for Ying Ge!

But the final result was...

One breath.

After the battle started, just one breath’s time, Ying Ge was blasted away by Xu Jin like shooting a target!

No sense of humiliation!

Only awe!

Powerful!

Xu Jin was too powerful. How did he train his Star Skill and techniques to this level?

How could he be so formidable?

In the Trialist area of the Da Chen National Daoist School, spectator Meng Qingqiu, Yuan Feiqing, Yan Chen, Guan Li, Fang Mingchun and others were rendered silent by this scene.

Seriously, wasn’t that a bit too strong?

They had also come to understand the strength of Ying Ge.

Among them, only Meng Qingqiu, Yuan Feiqing, and Yan Chen had the strength to securely defeat Ying Ge, but even they would need a good fight to do so.

But Xu Jin, it was as easy as killing a chicken to defeat Ying Ge!

What about them?

"Senior sister, how confident are you against this Xu Jin?" After a long silence, Yuan Feiqing suddenly asked.

Meng Qingqiu shook her head, to the astonishment of Yuan Feiqing and Yan Chen.

"No way, senior sister?"

"I’m nowhere close in using Star Skill! I feel that within the Dining Dawn Realm, I have no chance of defeating him, not even if you gave me another year. But after Star Casting, who knows," Meng Qingqiu said.

After speaking, Meng Qingqiu turned to Yan Chen and counter-asked, "Are you confident?"

"Probably... just a little bit!" Yan Chen said with a forced tone.

"You fight for some pride later on, otherwise Teacher Liu is probably going to be furious with us!" Meng Qingqiu pointed to Vice Academician Liu on the Martial Observation Platform, where only his head and chest were visible.

Hearing this, Yuan Feiqing, Yan Chen, Guan Li, Fang Mingchun and the others all showed an embarrassed look.

To speak the truth, it was the first time the top geniuses from the Da Chen National Daoist School were being thoroughly crushed by the geniuses from outside the National Taoist Institute of the state and county.

Sometimes Fang Mingchun even doubted whether their generation of Dachen Country’s geniuses was really not up to par?

Losing one position after another!

Now, even the position of True Inheritor senior brother was about to be lost?

[Yan Chen: Please proceed to Martial Arena No. 1 within five breaths, for the first match against Xu Jin]

Suddenly, a Starlight Transmission came through, and Yan Chen looked a bit nervous.

"It’s my turn."

Everyone looked toward Yan Chen as senior sister Meng Qingqiu advised, "Stay calm during the fight. Xu Jin is human too; he must have weaknesses! His opening two Star Ropes, one you can repeatedly break with your Star Ring, and the other you can defeat with consecutive blows of your Star Weapon!"

"I thought so too," Yan Chen nodded.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences. Just go on, and if you really lose, just win back our honor another time!" Yuan Feiqing, seeing Yan Chen’s nervous look, pushed him irritably.

"That’s right!"

Yan Chen smiled bitterly, took a step forward, and in the next instant, he appeared on the combat platform.

"Brother Xu, please enlighten me!"

"Please enlighten me," Xu Jin bowed in greeting.

After being counseled by Ning Yuchan, Xu Jin’s anxiety had eased considerably, but to say he was completely unworried was impossible, at least Xu Jin definitely couldn’t do that right now.

Wouldn’t that mean he was emotionless?

Xu Jin was still human!

"Prepare!"

The instructor overseeing the platform reminded them, and after three breaths, the light barrier in front of Yan Chen and Xu Jin disappeared.

But weirdly enough, neither Xu Jin nor Yan Chen moved from their spot.

No one took the initiative to attack.

The spectators were shocked.

Xu Jin was somewhat surprised, while Yan Chen confidently set up layers of defense, quietly waiting for Xu Jin to attack.

Yan Chen had his tactics.

He hadn’t missed a single one of Xu Jin’s previous fights, observing each one closely.

He found that anyone who aggressively attacked was effortlessly defeated by Xu Jin in less than one breath.

So, he decided not to attack and to defend instead.

To look for an opportunity for a counterattack within defense, maybe even a slim chance of turning defeat into victory.

On the platform, Xu Jin also instantly realized the situation.

He had refrained from initiating an attack earlier just to spare himself the trouble.

It was easy to just stand there and easily annihilate the opponent.

But unexpectedly, Yan Chen did the opposite.

"Alright, you even give up the advantage of taking the lead!"

The next instant, Xu Jin moved, darting forward in an instant.

In just a split second, he flashed to within four meters in front of Yan Chen.

The moment he arrived, a Star Rope flew out.

Yan Chen, fully on guard, swiftly swung his Star Ring and slashed with his Star Weapon, shattering Xu Jin’s two Star Ropes.

But in the next instant, Yan Chen was shocked to find there was another Star Rope.

This Star Rope wrapped around Yan Chen’s neck like a dog leash.

The sensation of suffocation and humiliation hit him the moment the Kite Ring Strategy unfolded.

In the instant Xu Jin flew through the loop, a barrage of Star Arrows rained down.

In the next heartbeat, Yan Chen burst into starlight and vanished.

Four Star Arrows.

This Yan Chen was slightly stronger than Ying Ge, costing Xu Jin four Star Arrows!

Then, Yan Chen reappeared in the Trialist area of Dachen Country’s National Daoist School, his face red with the feeling of being humiliated. The instant he appeared, he stamped his foot and exclaimed, "This Xu Jin... he’s gone too far..."
