Chapter 425: Chapter 186: Seeing Gold Star Again_3
With the National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s experience, he felt that Xu Jin should at the very least obtain one Gold Star.
After all, the Cultivation Level had only increased by one layer, which ant that both the Heart Demon and the Gatekeeper had only grown stronger by one layer. It was hard to say about the Heart Demon, but when Xu Jin was at the Refining Star Fourth Layer, he could defeat the Gold Star Gatekeeper in a very short ti. Thus, at the Refining Star Fifth Layer, defeating the Gold Star Gatekeeper should not be difficult.
He sat and waited for a Gold Star to be deposited into the account.
Happy, National Master Cheng Yuxiao had already taken out his beloved tea set, boiled the water, brewed the tea, and just sat waiting for the Gold Star to be secured.
A cup of tea was finished, nothing.
No rush.
It couldn’t be that fast.
Just continue waiting.
Two cups, three cups, a pot of tea was finished.
Always keeping an eye on the Star-picking Secret Realm, the National Master noticed that there was no increase in Gold Stars, so he brewed another pot.
After 15 mins, he brewed another pot.
While brewing the tea, he glanced at Elder Peng, Chief Peng, whose hair was all white. The latter understood, quickly ran a trip above Xu Jin’s courtyard.
Dozens of breaths later, Chief Peng returned.
“Palace Master, Xu Jin is still in the quiet room, probably still challenging.”
National Master Cheng Yuxiao humd affirmatively, and continued to brew tea.
The third pot, fourth pot, fifth pot.
He drank until he felt bloated, got up and made a trip to the quiet room, slightly disappointed upon seeing no change in the number of Gold Stars.
Chief Peng left again and returned after a short while, looking disappointed.
“Palace Master, Xu Jin has already gone to sleep.”
“He’s asleep?”
Disappointnt flickered in Cheng Yuxiao’s eyes, this ant no Gold Star was picked, the challenge had failed.
“Palace Master, challenging Gold Stars and failing is normal. Even in the current world, it happens only once in several years,” Chief Peng consoled.
“Indeed, we’ll see how he does in the future.
Just one or two more Gold Stars would suffice.”
After giving his instructions, National Master Cheng Yuxiao practiced Cultivation for a while, then went to sleep himself.
That night, he made two trips to the clean chamber.
He drank too much tea.
Early in the morning of September 20th, at 04:30, Xu Jin prepared to wake up.
With the help of the Warm Dream Star Pattern, Xu Jin now only needed to sleep for four hours, or two two-hour periods, to feel completely refreshed.
Moreover, he would take a nap at noon for 15 mins to restore his Divine Soul Power, and the rest of the ti, all was spent on Cultivation.
Basically, he practiced Cultivation for at least 18 hours a day.
Xu Jin, who had just woken up, did not practice Cultivation further; if he did, he would break through to the Refining Star Sixth Layer.
After performing the Five Battles Killing Fist to stretch his joints, Xu Jin entered the Star-picking Secret Realm directly, challenging the Gold Star.
The first challenge naturally was the Gold Star-level Heart Demon.
The sa tactics as before.
But things did not go smoothly.
The Heart Demon had learned the Blast Thunder Step, Thunder Wing, and Thunder Arrow that Xu Jin had used before.
While Xu Jin quickly approached, the Heart Demon rapidly retreated.
During the chase, the Heart Demon continuously bombarded Xu Jin with Thunder Arrows, nearly annihilating Xu Jin.
Ultimately, after using Invisibility, Xu Jin found a chance, quickly approached the Heart Demon, and launched the Breaking Evil Arrow.
Seizing the mont when the Heart Demon’s Divine Soul was briefly stunned and slightly delayed, he unleashed a series of Fla Burst and consecutive strikes with the Nine Veins Thunder Sword, which eradicated the Heart Demon.
He picked one Gold Star.
Although he won, Xu Jin clearly felt the pressure brought by the Gold Star-level Heart Demon.
The effect of the Breaking Evil Arrow on the Gold Star-level Heart Demon had clearly diminished.
It appeared that as Xu Jin’s Cultivation Level broke through, the strength of the Gold Star-level Heart Demon had also increased, enhancing its Divine Soul Power alike.
After the next breakthrough, relying on this tactic to defeat the Gold Star-level Heart Demon might be difficult.
Next, Xu Jin challenged the Gold Star-level Gatekeeper he would face after reaching Refining Star Fifth Layer.
The Gatekeeper, as always, had just gained in strength.
For the current Xu Jin, this was not difficult!
Using the sa tactics, he won in five breaths.
[Congratulations, you have successfully challenged the Gold Star-level Gatekeeper and obtained one Gold Star]
[Would you like to challenge the Bright Star]
[Challenge]
A minute and a half later, Xu Jin’s figure shattered into countless starlights and vanished.
Challenge failed.
But there was a gain.
The last ti Xu Jin challenged the Bright Star, he lasted only a minute, but this ti, under the attack of the Gold Star-level Heart Demon and Gatekeeper, he lasted a minute and a half.
This too was a significant improvent.
Two Gold Stars were secured.
Xu Jin directly went to do his morning Cultivation practice. This morning, he could et the National Master’s expectation and break through to Refining Star Sixth Layer.
But it was just a breakthrough in the Single Star Palace.
Unbeknownst to Xu Jin, this act of his had caused an uproar again.
Or perhaps, it blew up in a dream first, then exploded across the group!
National Master Cheng Yuxiao dealt with nurous official duties every day, practiced Cultivation after finishing these duties, so he went to sleep quite late.
At 04:45, the still-sleeping National Master Cheng Yuxiao was suddenly awakened by gentle knocking sounds; it was Chief Peng, with his white hair, gently knocking on the door.
“What is it?”
“Palace Master, just now, the Star-picking Secret Realm abruptly added two more Gold Stars!”
“What?”
This news directly woke the drowsy National Master Cheng Yuxiao, who suddenly sat up, “Two more Gold Stars added? Who is this unprecedented genius popping up again?”
The National Master was a bit bewildered!
