Chapter 307: Chapter 148: Star Picking (Please Subscribe for Monthly Tickets)_4

[Xu Jin, eligible to challenge the second level of the God-Killing Battlefield, reward: two Taoist Merit points]

The reward is really a bit meager.

Is it doubling or just increasing by one each time?

If it’s doubling, the reward isn’t bad.

[Challenge]

The number of enemies in the second level doubled to two enemies at the First Layer Peak cultivation level of Refining Star, no suspense, instantaneous kill.

The reward for the third level increased from two Taoist Merit points to three, and the enemies also turned into three Refining Star First Layer enemies, no suspense, instantaneous kill.

Three Taoist Merit points credited.

In the fourth level, Xu Jin received four Taoist Merit points, in the fifth level he received a reward of five Taoist Merit points, but something changed in the sixth level.

The reward remained six Taoist Merit points, but the enemies changed.

It was five Refining Star First Layer enemies from the Eight Desolate Alien Race plus one Green Demon from the Five Spirit Clan.

Moreover, the strength of this Green Demon from the Five Spirit Clan was quite strong, obviously a top-grade Star Casting.

The key point was that the Green Demon from the Five Spirit Clan actually possessed a rare Healing Star Technique, essentially giving the enemies a powerful healer, but it only made Xu Jin spend two extra seconds in the fight.

After instant-killing those five from the Eight Desolate Alien Race, even with the healing ability, without a target, it was useless.

However, compared to the previous five levels, for an average disciple, the difficulty of this sixth level had already significantly increased.

Levels seven, eight, and nine each had one additional enemy, and thanks to the Mingji Star Pattern, Xu Jin had also figured out the pattern.

Every two levels, there would be one more top-grade Star Casting elite monster.

The tenth level was an outlier; the reward was ten Taoist Merit points, but it featured eleven enemies at the Second Layer Peak of Refining Star.

Especially the leader, whose Star Power aura was exceptionally strong, three times that of the ordinary enemies from the Eight Desolate Alien Race, clearly Top-Grade Star Casting.

Xu Jin interpreted this as a level miniboss.

Using his movement technique, Xu Jin finished the battle in ten seconds.

In the first ten levels, Xu Jin had accrued a total of 55 Taoist Merit points. If he went to the Foreign Affairs Hall and chipped in a bit more, he could even buy three Star Refining Pills.

Indeed, it was a supplement for his cultivation resources.

If he could challenge it every day, Xu Jin would definitely come and do a daily run.

But clearly, these were one-time levels.

[Xu Jin: Eligible to challenge the eleventh level of the God-Killing Battlefield, reward: two Taoist Merit points]

Suddenly, the message that popped up caught Xu Jin’s attention.

The reward for the eleventh level had not increased but decreased, from ten points at the tenth level to just two.

With some confusion, Xu Jin chose to challenge.

The target was a Refining Star Second Layer Peak enemy from the Eight Desolate Alien Race.

Instantaneous kill!

[Xu Jin: Eligible to challenge the twelfth level of the God-Killing Battlefield, reward: four Taoist Merit points]

Upon seeing this prompt, Xu Jin instantly understood, he had basically figured out the pattern of the God-Killing Battlefield challenges.

It seemed that if the challenge was against enemies with a higher cultivation level than oneself, the reward would increase.

If it increased like this, that wasn’t a small reward.

Enemies at the Second Layer of Refining Star didn’t pose much of a difference compared to those at the First Layer, especially in the first nine levels.

At the tenth level, being simultaneously ambushed by eleven Second Layer Peak enemies caused Xu Jin a slight inconvenience.

It took him more than twenty seconds to kill the enemies.

After completing the twentieth level challenge, Xu Jin had gained a total of 110 Taoist Merit points as a reward. With a total of 165 points from the first twenty levels, he could buy eight Star Refining Pills, which was quite a good haul.

Soon, Xu Jin began challenging the twenty-first level.

As Xu Jin anticipated, the twenty-first level saw a reward decrease like before, but the base Taoist Merit reward became three points.

He cleared all the way, breaking through the first thirty levels.

During the thirtieth level challenge, Xu Jin slightly felt the difficulty rise.

Xu Jin also found the problem.

Star Skill.

All the Star Skills he used were basic.

Against the last level elite boss, the power of the basic Star Skills seemed somewhat weak.

However, Xu Jin still ended the battle within fifty seconds.

Once again he gained 165 Taoist Merit points, obtaining a total of 330 points, a nice gain.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin had broken through the fortieth level, earning another 220 Taoist Merit points.

The fortieth level was a bit risky, Xu Jin had no choice but to use the Divine Soul Secret Technique—Breaking Evil to deal with the Top-Grade Star Casting Refining Star Fourth Layer enemy from the Alien Race.

Continuing the challenge, when Xu Jin reached the forty-ninth level, he stopped.

It was tough.

Against Refining Star Fifth Layer enemies, especially top-grade Star Casting Refining Star Fifth Layer enemies, under the combined assault, Xu Jin’s basic Star Skills seemed to struggle, and he had to use Divine Soul Secret Techniques to pass smoothly.

The forty-ninth level took him over two minutes to complete.

Of course, it was still far from Xu Jin’s limit.

After giving it some thought, Xu Jin decisively ended the challenge in the God-Killing Battlefield.

First, he would engrave the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern; upon successful engraving, this should greatly enhance Xu Jin’s combat power, and then he would be able to quickly accumulate Taoist Merit.

But today’s challenge was good too, Xu Jin had challenged up to the forty-ninth level, amassing a reward of 775 Taoist Merit points total, which was almost enough to buy four Star Refining Pills—a very nice gain.

[Ranked ninety-first, Xu Jin, level forty-nine]

When leaving the God-Killing Battlefield, Xu Jin saw his ranking, he had successfully broken into the top hundred of the God-Killing Battlefield, ranking at ninety-first, just a bit stronger than Lu Xianbing.

"First to engrave star patterns!"

The moment he left the God-Killing Battlefield, Xu Jin immediately immersed his thoughts into the Star Lamp and began attempting to engrave the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern.

In this moment, Xu Jin’s heart was filled with an eager urgency to engrave star patterns!
