Chapter 351: Chapter 163: Arch Enemy (Please Subscribe)_3

Along the mountain peak, after searching around, no danger was found temporarily. Xu Jin then sat cross-legged on top of the mountain peak and began to engrave the Blast Flame Star Pattern that he had prepared earlier.

After engraving the Blast Flame Star Pattern, Xu Jin’s newly learned Star Skills, Star Burst Technique, and Star Rain Skill, could now be used.

However, as his teacher Liu Qingzhu had said, the Star Burst Technique was manageable, but the Star Rain Skill was extremely difficult.

For the Star Burst Technique, Xu Jin had practiced it over a thousand times in the Star Lamp before he mastered the basics.

Normally, at least ten thousand practices were needed to achieve half-instantaneous casting, and to achieve complete instantaneous casting, probably around twenty to thirty thousand practices were necessary.

For most people, practicing a Star Skill twenty to thirty thousand times would consume an astronomical amount of Star Power.

The more complex Star Rain Skill was even more outrageous.

Xu Jin had practiced it four thousand times in the Star Lamp before he barely achieved the basics, just the basics!

To reach half-instantaneous, the required number of practices might need forty to fifty thousand times, and for complete instantaneous, it was estimated to be around one hundred thousand times.

What’s key is, this Star Rain Skill is an area-effect Star Skill, consuming a considerable amount of Star Power.

If it were to be used in real life, with Xu Jin’s currently abundant Star Power at the Central Star Palace, casting it thirty or forty times would deplete his Star Power.

That’s where the difficulty lies.

However, practising within the Star Lamp allowed Xu Jin to save a tremendous amount of time and Star Power.

Currently, the Star Burst Technique could just manage half-instantaneous, and the Star Rain Skill was just at the basics.

But both these Star Skills had been completely engraved and solidified onto the Star Lamp by Xu Jin, achieving another form of instantaneous casting.

Currently, three Star Lamps had already been solidified with Star Skills.

Xu Jin planned to find a way to upgrade the Candou Platform to the Fourth Tier once he returned.

Inside the main hall of the Cangming Star Hall in Dachen.

State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, Star Master Du Tingyun, Zhang Zhen, and the Left Libationer of the National Taoist School, Meng Yanhui, were all sitting quietly.

This matter was one of the most important events of the year for the National Daoist School of Dachen, so Cheng Yuxiao and Meng Yanhui would be physically present for all five days.

Of course, they would also maintain contact with the outside world through the Star-picking Order, ensuring no delays.

Suddenly, the Six Alloy Wheel placed in front of State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao quivered, and a speck of blood-colored starlight emerged from it.

Star Master Zhang Zhen, who had been paying close attention, was pleased upon seeing this, "Excellent, a disciple from the Star Hall has already successfully slain two Ninth Layer Refining Star aliens, State Preceptor Cheng, by rule, it’s time to assign the corresponding position from the National Taoist School, right?"

"Naturally."

Cheng Yuxiao’s Divine Thought plunged into the Six Alloy Wheel, and in an instant, a stream of golden starlight matched with that blood-colored starlight suddenly shot out, linking with the blood-colored light.

This signified that the position had been sent.

After about ten breaths, the linking starlight disappeared.

Before the starlight vanished, the blood-colored starlight had already rushed towards the golden starlight.

The golden starlight represented a disciple from the National Taoist School of Dachen, and the blood-colored starlight represented a disciple from the Star Hall.

The moment the linking starlight disappeared, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao sighed inwardly.

He didn’t know who the first to be targeted by the Star Hall disciple was.

Whether they could hold on?

He also wondered how Xu Jin’s plan was proceeding?

Every year at this moment, even the usually composed State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao was most agonized!

And after another quarter of an hour, two more streams of blood-colored starlight emerged.

This meant two more disciples from the Star Hall had achieved their goal of slaying two Ninth Layer Refining Star aliens. Reluctantly, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao pushed forward their positions.

Within the next two hours, all disciples from the Star Hall gradually completed their targets and had their positions assigned one after another.

Star Masters Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen were full of joy and anticipation, while State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao and Meng Yanhui were filled with agony!

Atop the Half-Winged Peak, Xu Jin punched out, and a burst of starlight exploded fifteen meters away. Another punch was thrown, and a vast expanse of Flame Light burst out fifteen meters away again.

The coverage of the flames reached a radius of five meters.

Star Burst Technique, another relatively strong Star Skill.

It was also greatly influenced by the power of the Divine Soul.

Because the range of the Star Burst could vary depending on the caster’s Divine Soul Power strength.

The stronger the Divine Soul Power, the larger the range of the Star Burst could be, but it could also make the Star Burst’s range very small before exploding, making the damage extremely high.

A large Star Burst range meant wide-area damage, and a very small range meant pinpoint explosion, with extremely strong lethality.

This was the effect after the Blast Flame Star Pattern was engraved.

The power of the Blast Flame Star Pattern could also be attached to Star Arrows, or even boosted on the Star Fire Rope, but the most suitable for the Blast Flame Star Pattern was still the Star Burst Technique.

At the Fourth Layer Peak of the Central Star Palace and having engraved an additional Star Pattern, Xu Jin’s Combat Power had improved again.

Next, if he had time, Xu Jin would practice at the Lower Star Palace.

For the time being, Xu Jin still planned to cultivate both star palaces concurrently.

Having entered the Purple Wind Star Domain for over six hours now, feeling relatively safe, Xu Jin planned to use the Warm Dream Star Pattern to let himself lightly sleep for fifteen minutes to recover slightly, so he could maintain a good condition at all times.

Before preparing to nap, Xu Jin instinctively activated the Red Scale Heart again to check the positions of his fellow sect members.

In the moment his mind plunged in, Xu Jin was pleased.

There was an additional position for the Red Scale Heart Armor.

It looked like Xu Jin’s strategy was effective.

Just not sure whether it was Ji Hongli or Wang Jiugao.

Xu Jin immediately activated the Red Scale Heart, sending a message to this piece of Red Scale Heart Armor.

The latter also responded in an extremely short time.
