494: Chapter 152 “Star Power”_1 494: Chapter 152 “Star Power”_1 Qinghuo Yuanceng’s heart was secretly shocked.
His courage and strength were well-known even in the Endless Earth Den.
This fact could be seen from how he treated Qinghuo Qiming without any courtesy.
After all, Qinghuo Qiming was a Wu Zhu, naturally holding a noble status.
Even if others looked down on Qinghuo Qiming, they rarely mocked him to his face.
However.
During the focused battle just now, when Jiang Wang reached out to grab him, he instinctively dodged and almost struck back.
But Jiang Wang’s hand still caught him accurately, dissolving his retaliatory move and smoothly pulling him behind with a fluidity like drifting clouds and flowing water.
This indicated that there was a significant gap in strength between the two.
The precision of Jiang Wang’s swordplay also impressed Qinghuo Yuanceng.
He struck without wasting much strength, barely at the edge of the Star Beast’s maximum tolerance, showing that Jiang Wang understood both the Star Beast and his sword well.
This gave Qinghuo Yuanceng even more confidence in the outco of the Life-and-Death Chess ga.
Jiang Wang did not pay attention to Qinghuo Yuanceng’s feelings and, after a single sword strike, he swiftly perford a Dao Technique.
He executed the Dao Technique at the fastest speed, unleashing the most powerful Dao Technique he had mastered to date, the Eight-tone Fla Sparrows, which roared out, covering the entire entrance to Dark Heaven.
The Fla Sparrows were clamorous; the eight tones resounded mightily.
The dense flock of Fla Sparrows surged past in an instant.
From the extre noise to extre silence.
This wave of Star Beasts was completely wiped out by the Eight-tone Fla Sparrows.
Under Jiang Wang’s intentional control, many Fla Sparrows plunged straight into Dark Heaven.
But not even a slight ripple stirred.
It seed that as soon as they plunged into the darkness, they beca part of it.
Indeed, does everything that falls into Dark Heaven get ‘dissolved’?
Or rather, ‘assimilated’?
While Jiang Wang was still imrsed in his observations, the warriors of the Celebrating Fire Division present were already looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
“Who is he?” soone finally started to ask.
“Looking at his Totem Magic, could he be the new Wu Zhu from our Celebrating Fire Division?
I saw him co in with that person.”
“That’s great!
Have we finally swapped Wu Zhus?”
“Snap out of it, hold the line!” The man with the side whiskers interrupted the warriors’ wild speculations and then took the opportunity to add, “This one is ‘The Celestial Sky Arrival’, and he’s here to represent our Celebrating Fire Division in the Life-and-Death Chess ga!”
“Oh, so he’s the Chess player.”
“I thought he was the new Wu Zhu…”
Jiang Wang turned his head and glanced at Qinghuo Qiming, who was sitting in the corner.
The warriors’ “discussion” had not ceased, so he should be able to hear.
But at that mont, Qinghuo Qiming was looking down, his expression unclear.
At this mont, Jiang Wang also found it inappropriate to say anything, only letting out a silent sigh in his heart.
The man with side whiskers had already seized the opportunity to motivate them.
“Whoever performs well can join this Star General in the Life-and-Death Chess ga and secure a ranking for our Celebrating Fire Division that we haven’t seen in hundreds of years!”
The warriors were already stirred up.
They were very clear about what the rankings in the Life-and-Death Chess ga represented.
The rise of the Celebrating Fire Division might well start this ti.
Nothing excited these warriors, who fought on the most dangerous frontlines, more than the ascension of their tribe.
“Watch !”
“I’m going to burn brightly today!”
Jiang Wang did not respond to the enthusiasm of these warriors, but quickly completed the hand seals.
As the next wave of Star Beasts surged forward, once again, the Eight-tone Fla Sparrows!
The Star Beasts were cleared out once again.
The cavern down into Dark Heaven suddenly went pitch black, and it took a while before a few stars slowly approached.
It wasn’t that Jiang Wang was deliberately trying to show off his power; displaying his strength once was enough in front of these people.
The reason he did it again was because he had just discovered that after killing so many Star Beasts at once, a certain power began to gestate within the fire totem on his back.
It was faint, but it definitely existed.
This power was neither Totem Power nor Path Origin’s power, but a very pure form of energy.
It could be easily mobilized and transford, in other words, it could be applied to any attack.
But it seed like rootless water, not sothing that could be recovered and grown through cultivation like Path Origin or Totem powers.
It was more like a temporary storage, and it just so happened that the fire totem beca that “container.”
Or more accurately, it was the fire totem, after being influenced by the Bai Gu Lotus, that beca the “container” for this power.
To verify his thoughts, that was why there was a second performance of the Eight-Tone Fla Sparrows.
As Jiang Wang expected, the power within the fire totem was indeed related to the killing of the Star Beasts!
After killing this wave of Star Beasts, it gained an increase once again.
Perhaps…
Killing the Star Beasts wasn’t without reward; it was just that the people of the Floating Land had not yet noticed or hadn’t found a way to pick up these “harvests”?
When Jiang Wang killed the first Star Beast with a single sword, he didn’t feel anything either.
It wasn’t until the Eight-Tone Fla Sparrows wiped out everything that he truly felt this power’s “gestation.”
He faintly sensed that this change was related to the influence of the Bai Gu Lotus on the fire totem.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the people of the Floating Land hadn’t discovered this for so many years.
Only the Bai Gu Lotus, which did not belong to this world and carried the legacy of a strange Deity, could have caused a mysterious change in the fire totem.
It’s just that with Jiang Wang’s current perspective, he couldn’t see the root cause of it yet.
At the sa ti, he felt that this power might be related to the starry specks on the Star Beasts.
Or should he temporarily call it “Star Power”?
Killing Star Beasts and accumulating Star Power was a complete process.
And if there were a cultivation system with what he had just nad “Star Power” at its core, it would form a positive cycle where killing Star Beasts equaled cultivation.
Then, Star Beasts would no longer be a disaster but rather a resource!
Of course, these were just whimsical thoughts for the mont.
For now, this power in the fire totem was just a temporary storage.
Like a dry pond that has no spring, no matter how much water is accumulated, it can only be used temporarily.
With Jiang Wang’s current knowledge and abilities, it was simply impossible to create a cultivation system centered around it.
But that said, it indeed had such potential!
If Jiang Wang were to share his discoveries and speculations right now, probably the entire Floating Land’s powerhouses would seek him out, to research with him, or “research” him.
From the current situation, even if it’s only rootless water, it’s still of great use to Jiang Wang.
Pure power stored in the fire totem, available for use at any ti, represents what?
It represents power beyond one’s own limits!
At least in the Floating Land World, it amounted to a brand-new trump card!
Compared to those Chess players, Chess phase, and Chess Pawns, it was much more direct, and perhaps much more useful!
True, the “Star Power” gained from two rounds of Star Beasts wasn’t much, and even if utilized now, it wouldn’t fundantally enhance his fighting power.
But what if there were only so much “Star Power” for now, what about when it accumulated to a hundredfold, a thousandfold?
If the fire totem were the container, is there a limit to its “capacity”?
When the amount of accumulation reaches a certain limit, a fundantal change has already occurred.
This would be his strategic advantage in the life-and-death struggle against Lei Zhanqian, Jiang Wuji, Fang Chong, and others on the chessboard of survival!
While he was still contemplating, the next wave of Star Beasts was already approaching.
“All of you, back off.
Let handle this.
I will hold back Dark Heaven alone!”
Jiang Wang, for once, swept his robe sleeves grandly, coming across extrely swollen with pride.
