Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 69 - 65 Flying Star Step Small Success
69: Chapter 65 Flying Star Step Small Success
69 -65 Flying Star Step Small Success
Xu Jin didn’t bring up the matter of repaying the silver to Ning Yuchan.
Just 300 taels, which he could repay right away.
But was this really a debt of 300 taels?
Not to mention the silver that Xu Jin had on hand, consider his monthly pay of 50 taels as a team leader and another 20 taels from the Middle Court, excluding other possible incomes.
To Xu Jin now, 300 taels of silver was not much.
However, half a month ago, without these 300 taels, Xu Jin might still be struggling in the Second Layer of Dining Dawn, with no chance of surviving his prior missions.
Did Ning Yuchan lack these 300 taels?
Absolutely not.
That’s why Xu Jin was not in a hurry to repay the debt, nor could he.
This was a debt.
A massive favor that was difficult to repay!
Upon returning to his courtyard, Xu Jin immediately began practicing the Golden Spreading Chapter that Ning Yuchan had newly imparted to him that day.
Spreading, focuses on momentum.
What is momentum!
Strength is needed for momentum.
In simple terms, it’s about accumulating the Star Power of physical strength into a formidable momentum, then using this momentum to pressure others and slowly refine the Six Yang Leader.
The more robust the Star Power, the faster the refining.
In other words, for the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn, it’s a sheer grind now; the effects of Star Refilling Pill and Rejuvenation Pill are minimal.
In just half an hour, Xu Jin had already grasped the basics of the Golden Spreading Chapter.
All the Star Power gathered just above his chest, slowly permeating towards his neck.
An hour later, overwhelmed by fatigue, Xu Jin stopped his cultivation.
He realized he was wrong.
The Golden Spreading Chapter consumed a great deal of Divine Soul Power.
While the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn didn’t need Star Pills, it did need Rejuvenation Pills.
After nourishing a Rejuvenation Pill, Xu Jin felt refreshed and energetic, and began circulating the Golden Spreading Chapter again.
Another half an hour later, Xu Jin slowly dispersed the accumulated Star Momentum, checking the coverage of the Starlight.
The progress of the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn was really slow.
From just an hour of cultivation, the Starlight had advanced less than half a centimeter at his neck.
Agonizingly slow.
“Grind it out slowly.
First, cultivate the Repelling Star Chapter to master the Flying Star Step.”
However, Xu Jin didn’t immediately start on physical cultivation, but instead immersed his mind into the Can Dou Platform Star Lamp to practice martial arts and incidentally nourished a Vortex Blade Emblem.
Xu Jin realized that the greatest advantage of his Can Dou Platform Star Lamp was its minimal consumption.
Whether it’s engraving star patterns or practicing Star Skills, the consumption was extremely small.
This might be because the Star Lamp is a closed-loop world made purely of Star Power.
Hence, it barely consumed Xu Jin’s Star Power or Divine Soul Power.
This was also Xu Jin’s biggest advantage at the Can Dou Platform till now.
Other cultivators might practice dozens or a hundred times a day, and then their Star Power and Divine Soul Power would be depleted, but Xu Jin could practice martial arts in the Star Lamp hundreds, if not thousands of times and still be full of vigor.
He achieved the best effects when cultivating Star Skills and engraving star patterns.
The Gold Blaming Chapter was actually a special way of operating and moving Star Power.
To draw a more vivid analogy, practicing the Gold Blaming Chapter felt a bit like a jet engine.
When Star Power jets out from a part of the body, acceleration becomes possible.
But the Gold Blaming Chapter wasn’t that simple.
The essence of it is using the burst of Star Power to thrust the body forward.
For instance, when this occurs at the bottom of the feet, not only a repelling force is needed but also an upward thrust, which complicates the application of Star Power in the Gold Blaming Chapter.
It must be both gentle and powerful, and at the same time, bodily balance must be considered.
The consumption of Star Power is also rapid.
No wonder the Flying Star Step is taught only after reaching the Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn.
Because below that level, one might not be able to withstand such intense Star Power consumption.
The Star Power consumed in one use of the Flying Star Step is equal to a regular Star Skill, but it is executed continuously.
Each time one changes direction and accelerates, it’s like using the Flying Star Step once more, consuming Star Power again.
In a couple of breaths, using the Flying Star Step could consume four or five times the Star Power of a basic Star Skill.
With Xu Jin’s cultivation at the Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn and the Small Star Gathering Pattern engraved, he could use basic Star Skills consecutively up to 120 times.
Although this seemed a lot, practicing the Flying Star Step couldn’t even last a quarter hour.
But practicing the Flying Star Step in the Star Lamp, Xu Jin did not consume any.
Inside the Star Lamp, Xu Jin repeatedly practiced the Gold Blaming Chapter.
A hundred times, five hundred times, a thousand times.
Suddenly, the figure inside the Star Lamp took a step and soared three to four meters high from the spot, and with his own leap, could reach five to six meters.
Another leap, and the Star Power burst forth, propelling him nearly five to six meters from the spot; combined with his own speed, he leaped fourteen or fifteen meters.
Xu Jin was delighted; the Flying Star Step had reached a preliminary mastery.
His mind exited the Star Lamp and he went into the courtyard, where a thought prompted the Star Power within the Star Pattern to rush downward.
In the instant it surged, the Gold Blaming Chapter was circulated, and in a blink, Xu Jin soared into the sky.
Previously, his highest jump was about three meters.
But now he reached five meters in a single leap.
The moment he soared into the sky, Xu Jin’s mind acted, and his Star Power burst out again, triggering the Flying Star Step to explode.
But this time, it exploded rather slowly, and only when he was about to land did the Starlight burst forth.
It wasn’t perfected yet.
Afterward, Xu Jin started once more, continually executing the Flying Star Step to identify problems.
After a while, he crouched down, landed, returned to his room, and his thoughts once again returned to the Star Lamp.
Continued to tirelessly practice the Flying Star Step.
Xu Jin had just practically used it a few times and had already spotted some problems.
An hour later, after practicing thousands of times within the Star Lamp, Xu Jin left the lamp and took advantage of the night to continuously use the Flying Star Step.
In a single breath, he had already leapt up on the spot and, without stepping on anything else, reached the crown of a fifteen-meter-high tree.
Overlooking the entire Jinshan Taoist Institute, Xu Jin’s heart surged with excitement.
This was the power of transcendence.
This was the charm of cultivation.
So when would he be able to, like Mountain Master Dong Zhao, set foot high in the sky and overlook the entire county city of Jinshan County?
Or rather, look down upon this world.
Previously, Ning Yuchan had told Xu Jin that, with the foundation of channeling Star Power cultivated through the Five Battles Killing Fist, it would take at most two to three days to learn the Flying Star Step and five to six days to smoothly execute it, but to reach Great Success, it would take at least several months.
Perfection, on the other hand, would take years.
But Xu Jin had managed to smoothly execute the Flying Star Step in just two hours.
The role of the Can Dou Platform Star Lamp in martial learning couldn’t be dismissed.
However, even Xu Jin himself had not noticed that his Star Power was flowing as smoothly as his heart desired, as easy as moving his own arm.
This was actually greatly related to the Clearing Soul Star Pattern that Xu Jin had engraved in the Upper Star Palace.
But the Clearing Soul Star Pattern belonged to the kind of Star Pattern that did not have conspicuous achievements for those skilled in battle.
Once it was mastered, it would subtly bring various kinds of benefits.
However, if the cultivator did not pay deliberate attention, it would be very difficult to detect the role of the Clearing Soul Star Pattern in this.
At least Xu Jin hadn’t noticed it for now.
According to Ning Yuchan, the sign of Great Success for the Flying Star Step was a minimum rise of ten meters in a single leap, shooting forward twenty meters.
If the Flying Star Step was perfected, a single leap would require a minimum rise of fifteen meters, shooting forward thirty meters; beyond that, it needed to be as free as the heart desires, turning as easily as if running – that was Great Success.
He needed to continue his arduous practice.
After leaping down from the tree crown and safely landing with two consecutive uses of the Flying Star Step, Xu Jin returned to the living room of his courtyard.
His mind once again immersed itself in the Star Lamp.
But this time, instead of practicing the Flying Star Step, he continued to engrave the Great Gathering Star Pattern.
The pace of the Body Refining progress at the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn was frustratingly slow.
If he could successfully engrave the Great Gathering Star Pattern sooner, then it should speed up his cultivation progress at the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn.
This was the only method Xu Jin could think of to speed up his cultivation progress at the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn.
An hour later, having taken a Mental Awakening Pill, Xu Jin holding a Star-picking Order, entered the Star-picking Tower and then headed straight for the Martial Arts Secret Realm.
Now, he couldn’t miss a day’s training in the Martial Arts Secret Realm.
Not just for the sake of climbing up the rankings, but more importantly, for actual combat experience.
All kinds of tactics could be tried out in the Martial Arts Secret Realm, followed by identifying the best use of Star Skills in real combat.
In the Martial Arts Secret Realm, you could die countless times, but in reality, death was permanent!
That day in the Martial Arts Secret Realm, Xu Jin had five successive smooth victories, earning him another fifteen Martial Arts Competition Points.
He reached 9755th place in the First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm ranking.
The ranking boost brought about by consecutive victories was significant.
But in the sixth match, he met an opponent named Xue Baiyi, a Star Lord, which caused Xu Jin to experience death in the Martial Arts Secret Realm for the first time.
Mainly because the other party was too fast.
As soon as the light screen dispersed, with a distance of over twenty meters, Xue Baiyi’s sword pointed right at Xu Jin’s forehead.
Xu Jin’s head was not yet fully refined and was only protected by a single-layer Starlight Shield.
The Starlight Shield was instantly shattered, and the moment Xu Jin had just reacted, he was killed by a headshot.
Fast!
Too fast!
At the moment of being headshot, Xu Jin had an epiphany.
This Xue Baiyi was definitely at the Perfection level of the Flying Star Step, at least at the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn, or even the Seventh Layer of Cultivation Level.
Finally, he had encountered an expert and would need to change his tactics.
Staying stationary was only suitable for outright domination!

Inside Jinshan Taoist Institute, in Lu Xianbing’s courtyard, his expression was excited yet restrained as wisps of Starlight began to converge and shine above his head.
A few moments later, Lu Xianbing’s entire body was covered with Starlight.
He had achieved the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn.
Not long after breaking through to the Sixth Layer, Lu Xianbing took out a Star-picking Order and activated it, directly entering the Star-picking Tower.
As a Second Generation of Cultivators, Lu Xianbing knew much more about the Star-picking Tower than Xu Jin.
Moreover, he was keenly aware of its importance.
Therefore, he entered the Star-picking Tower at the first opportunity.
After entering the Star-picking Tower, Lu Xianbing directly entered the First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm and challenged it!
This was currently the only place where one could engage in risk-free actual combat.
It was also what his father, Lu Chang, had specifically instructed him to do after breaking through to the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn – enter the Martial Arts Secret Realm for challenges every day.
Twenty minutes later.
Lu Xianbing exited with a slightly disappointed expression.
Fighting only five matches, he felt extremely exhausted and had to leave.
