Chapter 315: Chapter 151: Divine Explanation and Breaking Through Seventy Stages (Third Update, Begging for Guaranteed Monthly Votes)

In the secret realm of the God-Killing Battlefield within the Star-picking Tower, Xu Jin was constantly taking on challenges.

He had just effortlessly conquered the sixty-fourth level.

In fact, if Xu Jin had not stopped yesterday and continued to battle on, he estimated he could have broken through the sixty-fourth level, and perhaps even made it past the sixty-ninth.

But whether or not he could break into the levels beyond sixty-nine would depend on the specific circumstances of the actual combat.

Today, however, was completely different.

Very effortless.

After engraving the mid-level Fire Origin Star Pattern, Xu Jin’s Star Skill might surged dramatically.

Previously, when challenging around the fortieth level, those ordinary alien beings of the Fifth Layer who were Middle and Lower Star Core Casting, under the power of the two integrated Red Scale Hearts, were instantly annihilated.

At this point, Xu Jin finally fully understood the painstaking intentions of Liu Qingzhu.

The Red Scale Heart had a significant enhancement effect on the power of the Fire Series Star Skills.

Liu Qingzhu said that one Red Scale Heart was equivalent to the combined might of an Initial Tier Fire Origin and Initial Tier Fire Element Star Pattern.

Xu Jin knew about the Initial Tier Fire Origin, but he wasn’t clear about the Initial Tier Fire Element.

However, he had already tested out the power.

When the might of one Red Scale Heart was integrated, his Fire Series Star Skills’ lethal power increased by twenty percent.

And when integrating two Red Scale Hearts, Xu Jin’s Fire Series Star Skills’ lethal power actually skyrocketed by fifty percent.

If the original lethal power was ten, now it was fifteen.

Under the integrated power of the two Red Scale Hearts, the ordinary alien beings of the Fifth Layer with Middle and Lower Grade Star Casting were instantly killed.

At the same time, Xu Jin also conducted another test.

It was because of this test that Xu Jin’s progression in the challenges was slightly slower.

The other test had to do with the Protection Star Pattern of the Ritual Officer’s Star Core.

Xu Jin found that the Initial Tier Fire Origin protection from the Fire Spirit Star Core could also be stacked.

But the increase in might was only ten percent!

If he were to offer two Fire Spirit Star Cores during the Candou Platform fight, and then choose the Fire Origin protection for both Fire Spirit Star Cores at the same time.

Then his Fire Series Star Skills could gain a twenty percent enhancement in might.

A twenty percent increase in might doesn’t seem like much.

But in actual combat, the effect was astonishing.

Alien beings with top-grade Star Casting and Fifth Layer Cultivation, as well as those with Middle to Low Grade Star Casting and Sixth Layer Cultivation, that were originally not instantly killable, were now instantly annihilated under the protection of two Fire Spirit Star Cores!

This made Xu Jin’s challenge from levels fifty-one to sixty especially effortless.

But even from sixty-one to the current level, it was very easy.

Ordinary aliens of the Seventh Layer Cultivation, wiped out by two area-of-effect Star Skills.

Even the Elite Alien Race, also wiped out by two Fire Series Star Skills.

Up to now, Xu Jin didn’t even have a chance to employ his newest Kite Ring Strategy.

That’s how easy it was.

[Xu Jin, you may challenge the sixty-fifth level, reward of 35 Taoist Merit points]

Just as Xu Jin had predicted yesterday, as long as his Cultivation Level had not broken through to the Second Layer of Refining Star, the rewards of the God-Killing Battlefield would increase by one point base Taoist Merit for each round risen, this snowballing increase meant that Xu Jin would receive more and more Taoist Merit.

If he were to complete the challenge from the sixty-first to the seventieth level, then the Taoist Merit rewards for this particular round alone would amount to a considerable 385 points.

The next round, even more.

Just as Xu Jin was about to take on the next challenge, suddenly, his Star-picking Order trembled violently three times in succession.

This was an extremely urgent Starlight Transmission.

A normal Starlight Transmission only requires one Taoist Merit point, but an extremely urgent Starlight Transmission needs two.

Xu Jin quickly checked the Starlight Transmission, which turned out to be sent by his instructor Liu Qingzhu.

[Can you conquer the sixty-seventh level? Liu Qingzhu]

[I can]

Xu Jin was somewhat puzzled but still gave his instructor a very affirmative reply.

If it weren’t for the tests, he would have already reached the seventieth level by now.

Next up, Xu Jin’s pace in breaking through levels would become very fast.

[Within 15 minutes, can you conquer the sixty-seventh level? Liu Qingzhu]

[Instructor, at most 15 minutes]

[Good, I’ll wait for your result]

Seeing this urgent Starlight Transmission from Liu Qingzhu, Xu Jin was still somewhat puzzled, but he began the challenge directly.

The instructor said to be quick, so he would be a little quicker.

Just three more levels, not even half of 15 minutes!

In the next moment, Xu Jin’s figure stepped into the sixty-fifth level.

******

Inside the Minglun Hall of the National Taoist Institute.

The assembly of Academicians and Vice Academicians, who were about to adjourn the meeting, were suddenly called to a halt by Liu Qingzhu.

"Hmm, something the matter?"

Looking at Liu Qingzhu, the standing Academician Kou Jing frowned, but the others were not in a hurry to leave either.

"Academician, I have one more thing, please wait a moment," Liu Qingzhu said.

"Oh, what is it? Tell me." Academician Kou Jing retook his seat, and seeing Academician Kou Jing sit down again, the other Academicians and Vice Academicians all took their seats once more, not to mention the instructors and drillmasters.

This time, Liu Qingzhu didn’t laugh before speaking. Instead, smiling, he first glanced at Vice Academician Song Ziyue.

"Academician, it’s a coincidence, right when the bet was placed, my disciple Xu Jin was challenging the God-Killing Battlefield, and he’s making good progress!" Liu Qingzhu spoke, "If nothing unexpected happens, this bet could be settled ahead of time."

Song Ziyue was the quickest to react, immediately immersing his thoughts into the God-Killing Battlefield to check the rankings. After just one glance, his face turned pale.

"You, Liu, have tricked me!" Song Ziyue exclaimed angrily.

"Aren’t you a man? Don’t you have any shame?"

Liu Qingzhu retorted on the spot, "Who started this first is witnessed by everyone!"

A few Vice Academicians looked on helplessly.

Today, the Minglun Hall had lost its dignity because of the spat between Song Ziyue and Liu Qingzhu. Thankfully, no students saw it, otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing, just like a marketplace.
