"Wang Anye, a top-grade Star Casting genius from Tianyang Star Hall, at the Fourth Layer Peak in Refining Star, skilled in Thunder Star Skill."

"Zhang Shuo, a top-grade Star Casting genius from Cangming Star Hall, at the Fifth Layer Peak in Refining Star, with extremely strong combat power. His Divine Soul Cultivation is said to have reached the First Layer, possibly higher, skilled in Earth Star Technique."

"Tao Tiancheng, a top-grade Star Casting genius from Cangming Star Hall, at the Fourth Layer Peak in Refining Star, skilled in Fire Star Skill."

"Guan Ji, a top-grade Star Casting genius from Cangming Star Hall, at the Fourth Layer Peak in Refining Star, skilled in Water Star Skill."

"He Yulan, a top-grade Star Casting genius from Cangming Star Hall, at the Fourth Layer Peak in Refining Star, skilled in Fire Series, reputedly even faster."

Libationer Meng Yanhui was highly efficient. Upon seeing the disciples from the two major Star Halls for the first time, he immediately sent their basic information to Xu Jin and others.

It was evident that the National Daoist Institute had made extensive preparations for this battle of selection.

"Everyone, are the rules clear?"

Now that they had arrived at the Cangming Star Hall, its master from Dachen, Zhang Zhen, became the host and took over the proceedings.

The group of disciples naturally nodded.

Xu Jin nodded as well, but felt slightly uncomfortable.

During the few dozen breaths’ time since his arrival, Xu Jin noticed that the seven Star Hall disciples opposite him were all staring at him with wolf-like gazes.

Especially the looks from the exceptionally talented Tian Lie and Zhang Shuo, highlighted by Libationer Meng, were like they intended to devour him—both excited and ferocious!

After receiving a confirming response, Zhang Zhen looked towards the grand master Cheng Yuxiao, "State Preceptor, let’s activate the Six Alloy Wheel then."

As he spoke, the Dachen Star Master from Tianyang Star Hall, Du Tingyun, took out a wheel-shaped Star Artifact, casually wiped off the aura on it, and handed it to grand master Cheng Yuxiao, "The usual rule, you activate, and we supervise, how about it?"

"Of course."

Grand master Cheng Yuxiao took over the Six Alloy Wheel, and then the fourteen disciples from both sides in turn dripped a drop of fresh blood into it. A streak of golden light flew from the wheel and merged into the fourteen disciples.

"After the Star Hall disciples eliminate two Refining Star Ninth Layer beings from an alien race, every two hours, they will receive the position information of the respective National Daoist Institute disciples," Zhang Zhen announced.

"Prepare to enter," grand master Cheng Yuxiao said.

"Let me emphasize again, each person can only carry two Star Weapons, and emblems of Fourth Tier or above. Star Artifacts cannot be brought in, nor can they be brought in! Pills are unlimited, each person can only carry up to five emblems below Fourth Tier," Libationer Meng Yanhui stressed again.

The next moment, disciples from the Star Hall stepped one by one towards the Star Gate of the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

But during the few steps towards the Star Gate, the Divine Thoughts and Star Power of the grand master and Meng Yanhui scanned him up and down seven or eight times to prevent him from bringing in more emblems, affecting fairness.

One by one, all the Star Hall disciples entered under the scrutiny of the grand master and Meng Yanhui.

When it was the turn for the National Daoist Institute’s disciples to enter, Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen, the two Star Masters, began to use their powerful Divine Thoughts and Star Power to explore and examine the internal and external aspects of the National Daoist Institute’s disciples.

Before stepping into the Star Gate, Xu Jin felt that he had been scanned at least ten times by the two people’s Divine Thoughts, and only after confirming there were no issues, he then stepped into the Star Gate.

As for the Fourth Tier Star Artifact, the Chaotic Star Pendant he had obtained earlier, Xu Jin had already put it away.

But Xu Jin also had his own little secret; this time entering the Star Domain, he planned to conduct a small experiment.

So before stepping into the Star Gate, Xu Jin was slightly nervous, fearful of being discovered.

However, right up until Xu Jin stepped into the Star Gate, neither of the two Star Masters showed any sign.

This made Xu Jin secretly pleased; the experiment was successful.

The Candou Platform turned out to be stronger and more mysterious than Xu Jin had imagined.

On his first trip to the Second Tier Star Domain, Xu Jin honestly put down all the Super-Tier emblems.

This time, Xu Jin wanted to try it.

Even if he couldn’t bring them in or if they were discovered, then with the grand master beside, a single word would resolve it, turning them over would suffice.

But what Xu Jin didn’t expect was, hidden inside the Candou Platform, not only did the two great Star Masters fail to discover, but also when passing through the Star Gate, the Star Gate gave no reaction whatsoever.

Next, it remained to be seen if the super-tier items inside the Candou Platform could be taken out after landing in the Third Tier Star Domain.

The next moment, the scenery in front of Xu Jin shifted, and the howling wind was already ringing in his ears.

Before him lay an endless dense forest, and the moment Xu Jin landed, the Mingji Star Pattern from the Lower Star Palace suddenly started flashing continuously.

He just saw, not far opposite, a team of the Alien Race staring in astonishment at Xu Jin, led by a Purple Winged Alien.

Refining Star Seventh Layer!

With just one glance, the Purple Winged Alien roared and led dozens of subordinates charging at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin, however, was not panicked at all.

Two Star Fire Ropes, burning fiercely, spun rapidly like venomous dragons, quickly wrapping around and binding the Refining Star Seventh Layer.

In the next instant, Xu Jin was about to kill with a Fire Arrow.

But what surprised Xu Jin was that the Refining Star Seventh Layer Purple Winged Alien, the moment it was bound by the Star Fire Ropes, couldn’t help but let out a miserable scream.

During the scream, the areas covered by the Star Fire Ropes were burnt through instantly, exposing white bones, and in a blink, it was completely incinerated.

He was burned to death instantly.

This power gave Xu Jin quite a scare.

He then stepped forward, the Starfire Ring spread open, instantly killing most of the Alien Race at the initial stages of Refining Star.

Even those not killed instantly were severely injured by the flames.

Two more Aliens reacted and tried to flee, but Xu Jin directly annihilated them with a Star Arrow.

He searched them quickly, found nothing valuable. The Refining Star Seventh Layer Purple Winged Alien was completely turned to ash, but the Star Core was preserved.

A mid-grade Purple Winged Alien of Star Casting, not strong for its level but still at Refining Star Seventh Layer, was directly incinerated by the flames.

Nothing like this had ever happened before in the God-Killing Battlefield.

In the end, Xu Jin attributed it to the change in power of the newly acquired mid-tier Red Scale Heart.

When three initial-tier Red Scale Hearts were merged into one mid-tier Red Scale Heart, Xu Jin felt something was different, but couldn’t specify what.

Now it appeared that the power of the flames had significantly increased.

His teacher, Liu Qingzhu, had said that an initial-tier Red Scale Heart was equivalent to the combination of an initial-tier Fire Origin and an initial-tier Fire Element Star Pattern.

Previously, Xu Jin didn’t know the exact effect of Fire Element Star Pattern.

Later, he took the time to consult Liu Qingzhu specifically.

Fire Element Star Pattern, an extremely rare type of Star Pattern, is only known to exist in Tianyang Star Hall, a secret Star Pattern of Tianyang Star Hall, not passed on except to exceptional geniuses.

Thus, its exact power was unclear, but it was definitely the most precious Star Pattern among Fire Series patterns.

The Da Chen National Daoist School guessed the power of the Fire Element Star Pattern, estimating its effects as two-fold: one was to enhance affinity with Fire Series Star Power, after reaching fifth tier, it could somewhat increase the power of mid-high tier Fire Series Star Skills.

The other was to enhance the power of all Fire Series Star Skills, but the specific increase was uncertain, at least one-tenth, possibly up to half.

Since the Da Chen National Daoist School didn’t possess any Fire Element Star Patterns, all these were just assumptions made after clashing with a few elites from Tianyang Star Hall.

Therefore, even his teacher Liu Qingzhu could only provide a somewhat vague answer to Xu Jin.

But now, Xu Jin profoundly experienced the power of the Fire Element Star Pattern.

No, it should be the power of a mid-tier Fire Element Star Pattern. (Note, fourth to sixth tier Star Patterns are considered mid-tier)

Since what Xu Jin possessed now was a mid-tier Red Scale Heart, the Fire Element Star Pattern effect he obtained was most likely a mid-tier Fire Element Star Pattern.

The enhancement in the Fire Series power was much more substantial than Xu Jin imagined.

Unfortunately, the mid-tier Red Scale Heart only added effects similar to a mid-tier Fire Origin and mid-tier Fire Element Star Pattern, not directly engraved with a mid-tier Fire Element Star Pattern.

Otherwise, if Xu Jin could have recorded it, he would have become a great hero of the National Daoist School.

But that seemed impossible; if it were, the State Preceptor who had obtained Red Scale Hearts for so many years would have recorded them by now.

In the Lower Star Palace, the Mingji Star Pattern returned to calm, indicating temporary safety.

Xu Jin also quickly sunk his Divine Thought into the Red Scale Heart, sensing the positions of his six fellow disciples.

A few moments later, his brows furrowed!

Why could he only sense four of them?
