Chapter 184: Entanglement

Practice Arena Secret Realm, Xu Jin hadn't been in for quite a few days.

The first moment he entered the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, Xu Jin was shocked by his ranking.

【Qi Tian Da Sheng: Fifth Layer of Refine Star】

【Points: 0】

【Ranking: 7,984,653】

Almost eight millionth place.

This shows that the number of Refine Star Realm cultivators who have entered the Star-Plucking Tower in the current world is at least eight million.

Counting a portion of rogue cultivators who haven't entered the Star-Plucking Tower, and another portion of existences like Xu Jin whose points are all zero, Xu Jin estimates that the number of Refine Star Realm cultivators in the current world exceeds ten million.

But this is also normal.

The span of the Refine Star Realm is relatively large, and many cultivators are trapped at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Refine Star for many years.

The stock is very large.

And unlike cultivators in the Meal of Mist Realm and Forge Star Realm, they are all very poor.

Cultivators who have cultivated to the Refine Star Realm can all manage to get a Star-Plucking Token.

However, Xu Jin estimates that the number of Third Tier Refine Star Realm cultivators should be the largest.

After passing the Fourth Tier, the number of cultivators after the Fifth Tier will decrease sharply.

Old rules, Xu Jin first scanned the leaderboard to see if there were any acquaintances.

【Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm First Place: Xinghuo】

【Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm Second Place: Ren Woxing】

【Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm Third Place: Hanyue】

With the experience of the First and Second Tier Practice Arena Secret Realms, Xu Jin mainly looked at the top three.

These top three will be Xu Jin's challenge targets.

As for combat power, Xu Jin believes that killing into the top 100, top 10, is only a matter of time.

Even if he doesn't have that strength now, in a month, he will definitely be able to kill into it.

It just depends on how strong these top three are.

Looking down the leaderboard, very quickly, Xu Jin found an acquaintance.

The original First Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm First Place, Ta Xinghe.

Now he is the 101st place in the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

This guy should be very strong.

Xu Jin killing his way up, will inevitably have to fight him, to make up for the regret of not having a fight in the First Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

Counting it up, this guy only forged stars half a month earlier than Xu Jin, but now he has already killed into the top 100 of the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm; calling him a top genius is definitely not an exaggeration.

【Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm 988th Place: Yue Zhongying】

Xu Jin found another familiar name.

This is the second guy Xu Jin wants to fight.

In the First Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, after this guy defeated Xu Jin, he directly forged stars and left the First Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, leaving Xu Jin without even a chance to find a place.

Holding back a breath of depression.

Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, must find a fight back.

Looking around, within the top 1000, there were no names like "Buguo Er'er" and "Zuiyue Xianzi".

This is also normal.

These two were only seven or eight days earlier than Xu Jin in forging stars.

In terms of cultivation base, they shouldn't be much stronger than Xu Jin.

Xu Jin's cultivation speed is actually extremely fast.

It's just that Xu Jin is cultivating two star palaces at the same time.

If Xu Jin were only cultivating the Central Shang Xinggong now, his cultivation base would already be at the Eighth Layer of Refine Star.

Especially important is the star pattern.

Others, wanting to successfully inscribe a star pattern, even if they have elders teaching them hand-in-hand, and are also top geniuses, inscribing a star pattern in seven or eight days is considered fast.

These people, even if their cultivation base arrives, the star pattern might not be able to keep up.

But Xu Jin is different; Xu Jin has a star lamp that can inscribe infinitely, one star pattern, one or two days, at most two or three days is enough.

It is inevitable that they cannot keep up with Xu Jin's progress.

Actually, this is also one of the fundamental reasons why Meng Qingqiu, Yan Chen, Ji Hongli, Lu Kun, Yuan Feiqing, and others can only challenge to the 80s levels.

Don't look at their cultivation base being the same as Xu Jin's, both at the Fifth Layer of Refine Star.

But they are currently mainly cultivating the Central Shang Xinggong; the Lower Shang Xinggong cultivation hasn't been cultivated much, and they will only look back to re-cultivate the Lower Shang Xinggong when the Central Shang Xinggong is at the Ninth Layer of Refine Star.

And Xu Jin is cultivating two star palaces at the same time.

So it looks like the cultivation progress is the same as Xu Jin's, but in reality, it's half off.

There is another important reason, which is the star pattern.

With their speed, even if they are at the Fifth Layer of Refine Star, eight or nine out of ten of the six star pattern positions haven't been inscribed.

But Xu Jin is also at the Fifth Layer of Refine Star; although his cultivation base hasn't reached the peak of the Fifth Layer of Refine Star, there are ten star pattern positions, but Xu Jin's ten star pattern positions are already full.

Xu Jin's current state is that the star pattern has been successfully inscribed in the star lamp, waiting for the cultivation base to improve.

And Meng Qingqiu and those people are still struggling to brush star patterns.

This is the fundamental reason for the huge strength gap between them and Xu Jin.

After thinking for a while, Xu Jin sent a starlight transmission to Zuiyue Xianzi.

To tell the truth, he still misses this little rich woman a bit; this little rich woman sent him more than 200 strands of starlight, and he hasn't used them up yet.

In the First Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, this little rich woman pestered Xu Jin all day long to ask for a fight, and continued to ask for abuse after being abused.

It's very strange, after arriving at the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, she actually hasn't contacted Xu Jin.

Don't tell me something unexpected happened?

Netizens can also be good friends, so Xu Jin asked a few questions.

【How have you been lately? Why don't I see you challenging me anymore? Did something go wrong with your cultivation?】

Inside a palace decorated extremely luxuriously, Zuiyue Xianzi, who was cultivating cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes, saw the information on the Star-Plucking Token, and smiled.

【You still have a bit of conscience, knowing to contact me, it was a loss for me to take care of your face.】

【Take care of my face? Big sister, what do you mean? Speak clearly, is this one strand of starlight?】

Seeing Xu Jin's starlight transmission, Zuiyue Xianzi was instantly angry, and her fair feet were tensed.

【You are the big sister, your whole family is big sister.】

Xu Jin was confused.

This is completely not on the same channel; his focus is on face, this one's focus is on the address.

Men and women are indeed different.

Then Xu Jin could only take out the outdated address big killer from his past life.

【Little sister, what do you mean by taking care of my face?】

This address directly made Zuiyue Xianzi's tensed feet bend, and her pretty face had a little bit of flying red.

Usually, she was often called "Miss", but adding one word, being called "Little sister", why does it feel so comfortable and pleasing to the ear?

This guy has a sweet mouth, I don't know how many young girls he has coaxed.

Xu Jin completely didn't know he was shot again, but Zuiyue Xianzi's starlight transmission came.

【My cultivation progress is too fast, I'm afraid that finding you as a sparring partner will hit you, so I didn't contact you during this time, thinking about waiting until I'm trapped and break through the bottleneck before contacting you, to test your weight.】

This starlight transmission made Xu Jin dumbfounded.

So it was taking care of his self-esteem.

Having said that, Xu Jin couldn't care about saving those one or two strands of starlight.

【Your cultivation can be too fast? Tell me about it, let me see if it can hit me?】

【Really? You're not afraid?】

Xu Jin was speechless, directly didn't reply; this chat is too wasteful of star power.

The Star-Plucking Tower doesn't come out with a monthly subscription mode, at least like a certain movement in the past life, coming out with a text message package is also good.

This one is one strand of starlight, too dark.

Sure enough, Zuiyue Xianzi, who understood Xu Jin's stinginess, directly sent another starlight transmission over.

【I am a top-grade star forging in the double star palace, the Central Shang Xinggong is at the Sixth Layer of Refine Star, the Lower Shang Xinggong is at the Fifth Layer of Refine Star; originally, I could cultivate faster, but the star pattern inscription is relatively slow, it takes six or seven days to successfully inscribe one star pattern.

Half the time is spent on inscribing star patterns, otherwise, my Lower Shang Xinggong should also be at the Sixth Layer of Refine Star by now.】

Xu Jin's eyes widened suddenly.

This cultivation progress is indeed fierce.

He has been cheating all the way, using the nourished top-grade Refine Star Pill, and he is only at the Fifth Layer of Refine Star.

And Zuiyue Xianzi only broke through seven or eight days earlier than Xu Jin; in the middle, Xu Jin was delayed for three days during the selection battle, which is ten days, leading by so much.

How is this cultivated?

Xu Jin is also a bit curious.

【Really powerful! Your cultivation speed is somewhat inhuman, how is it cultivated?】

【It's okay, I use the top-grade Refine Star Pill that my grandfather personally screened and quenched, with very little pill poison and a slightly changed formula; I can take eight or nine pills a day, and then I soak in my exclusive Star Gathering Array to cultivate.

You might not know the Star Gathering Array, right? If you are a disciple of the Shang Xinggong or Dao Academy, you should know the Star Power Secret Realm.

The star power concentration of the Star Gathering Array I cultivate is equivalent to the star power concentration of the Sixth Tier Star Power Secret Realm you use, and it should be even stronger.】

Xu Jin was directly speechless.

This is the money ability coming over.

Too rich!

A "soak" word, fully showing the richness! Then it seems that this one should be the daughter of some top powerhouse family.

Otherwise, it is impossible to have such high treatment.

Ji Hongli and Meng Qingqiu's cultivation treatment are both much worse than this.

Ji Hongli and Meng Qingqiu's family background is already considered the top wealthy family in Da Chen.

Could it be that this one is from a Shang Xinggong family?

【Do you want to fight a round?】

Suddenly, Xu Jin was a bit tempted, wanting to test the level of this top genius from a top wealthy family with top-grade star forging.

With Zuiyue Xianzi's level, she should be considered a top genius of the current world, right?

In the next instant, Xu Jin received Zuiyue Xianzi's challenge request, and Xu Jin passed.

Light and shadows shifted, and Zuiyue Xianzi appeared opposite Xu Jin.

The light screen disappeared, but the two didn't start fighting immediately.

"Long time no see." Xu Jin arched his hands from afar.

In the next instant, Zuiyue Xianzi exclaimed, "Fifth Layer of Refine Star, your cultivation progress is not slow either! By the way, what is your Lower Shang Xinggong cultivation base?"

"Third Layer." Xu Jin blurted out casually.

"Considered fast, star pattern, how is the inscription?"

Xu Jin smiled, didn't answer; this is the top secret of every cultivator, even if using a nickname, it cannot be revealed.

"Stingy."

"Come on!"

In the next instant, moon-white starlight rose around Zuiyue Xianzi; this starlight is rare, and at the same time, she put on a defensive posture.

Looking at this appearance, she is still taking care of Xu Jin's face, fearing that Xu Jin will lose too miserably and lose face.

Whoosh!

An astonishing sonic boom sounded; the distance of 20 meters, with Xu Jin's current speed, is as simple as taking a step.

Flame Explosion!

The flames exploded.

The moon-white starlight was instantly extinguished!

Instant kill!

Zuiyue Xianzi was instantly stunned.

This script is wrong; she has been taking care of Qi Tian Da Sheng's face, fearing that being too strong would hurt Qi Tian Da Sheng's face, but she didn't expect that she was instantly killed?

What about her face?

【Come again】

Very quickly, Zuiyue Xianzi challenged Xu Jin again, and Xu Jin accepted; this time, Zuiyue Xianzi was much more cautious.

Once the battle started, she took the initiative to attack.

The moon-white starlight condensed into a huge moon blade, slashing toward Xu Jin silently.

Xu Jin also wanted to test Zuiyue Xianzi's level, didn't rush to attack, and gave her time to attack.

Suddenly, Xu Jin was a bit stunned.

This moon blade actually cut through his Rain Curtain Fire Shield without any obstruction.

You know, Xu Jin's Rain Curtain Fire Shield's defensive power is very strong; below the Ninth Layer of Refine Star, they can't break the defense.

But in front of Zuiyue Xianzi's moon blade, it was broken like tofu.

Also easily slashed and broken was Xu Jin's body-protecting starlight.

At the moment of being slashed, Xu Jin's figure drifted away like willow catkins; a few breaths later, Zuiyue Xianzi was instantly killed again.

【Come again】

"Impossible, with your strength, it's impossible to defeat me? How can you be so strong? My grandfather said that I am currently invincible among the same cultivation base." Zuiyue Xianzi, who entered the battlefield again, was obviously a bit broken.

"What kind of star art is this, it feels a bit special, a bit like ignoring defense?" Xu Jin asked curiously.

"It's okay to tell you, it's space-type! Very powerful, it's just that the star pattern comprehension and inscription are too strenuous, my head was almost knocked swollen by my grandfather." Zuiyue Xianzi complained.

No wonder!

He got another bit of information about Zuiyue Xianzi, and at the same time, he also witnessed the space star power of this world.

Not a wasted trip!

If he encounters this kind of power in the future, Xu Jin won't be caught off guard.

"Great Sage, which Shang Xinggong disciple are you, what is your background, how can you be so strong?"

"I am an ordinary person."

"You are lying, if you are an ordinary person, according to my grandfather's words, I can buy a piece of tofu and hit myself to death."

"Give me the address, I will send you tofu."

"You!"

"Go to hell!"

Zuiyue Xianzi, who was angered and wanted to attack, suddenly disappeared.

Disappeared out of thin air!

Xu Jin's eyes moved.

Invisibility!

Zuiyue Xianzi can also do it?

No, it definitely shouldn't be the invisibility Xu Jin knows, but another way of invisibility, related to space.

With a thought, Xu Jin fully drove the Mingji Star Pattern of the Lower Shang Xinggong.

Inside the Lower Shang Xinggong, the Mingji Star Pattern shone brightly.

In the feeling of the Mingji Star Pattern, ten meters to the left, there is star power fluctuation.

Without hesitation, Xu Jin blasted a Flame Explosion over.

Moon-white brilliance exploded, Zuiyue Xianzi was directly blasted out, and then blasted into pieces.

Instantly killed again.

In the next instant, Xu Jin's starlight transmission exploded.

Zuiyue Xianzi sent several starlight transmissions in a row.

【How did you find me? You guessed it, right? You couldn't have found me?】

【Speak quickly】

【I don't accept it, let's fight again!】

While speaking, Zuiyue Xianzi sent another challenge invitation.

But Xu Jin refused.

That's enough, fight again, and this girl will be stimulated into a problem.

Xu Jin also had a rough understanding of his true level.

【Why don't you accept the challenge, are you afraid? Come and accept the challenge quickly】

Xu Jin answered concisely with two words.

【Another day】

【Okay, I will come to find you tomorrow.】

Zuiyue Xianzi didn't pester him either, but went to review and think.

Today she lost, feeling a bit inexplicable.

And Xu Jin had other feelings.

Before, Old Qi said how miraculous the Mingji Star Pattern was, Xu Jin didn't believe it at all.

Since inscribing it, Xu Jin felt the Mingji Star Pattern was a bit useless.

But now it seems that the Mingji Star Pattern is really very miraculous, it is simply a divine artifact, and it actually has the effect of breaking invisibility!

Next time he sees Old Qi, Xu Jin will have to try, try to see if the Mingji Star Pattern can break Old Qi's invisibility.

Or try to see if the Mingji Star Pattern can break the invisibility art of the Lingji Shang Xinggong.

After contacting Zuiyue Xianzi, Xu Jin directly started challenging the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

The Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm is different from the First and Second Tier Practice Arena Secret Realms; those occupying the top 1000 must be geniuses of the current world.

Xu Jin wants to use the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm to test the weight of these geniuses of the current world.

But tonight's challenge, there is nothing much to say, just two words.

Instant kill!

Instant kill all the way.

Xu Jin won fifteen games in a row and then stopped.

The ranking also rose sharply from more than 7.8 million to more than 4 million.

The ranking improvement in the early stage is definitely fast, but it will definitely be slow in the later stage.

After finishing the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, Xu Jin directly sent a starlight transmission to Old Qi, greeted and cared for a few words, and very quickly, Qi Shanye had a reply.

【Good boy, still remember me, I thought you forgot this teacher of yours, how is the situation recently? How is the cultivation base?】

Xu Jin replied to Qi Shanye with a long message, talked about the selection battle, also mentioned the matter of harvesting the Thunder Wing Heart, and at the same time asked a few questions about cultivation.

Old Qi naturally answered them one by one, and also said that thunder-type star arts are difficult to cultivate, and he would help Xu Jin pay attention to thunder-type star patterns.

【Teacher, I have a matter, I want to ask for your opinion, my sister Jiang Er, is about to point stars, if there is no accident, pointing stars will definitely succeed, I am thinking, should I teach her the Cheng Po Star Pattern?

If taught, it will make her more powerful, cultivation speed faster, and combat power stronger.

But at the same time, it will also bring all kinds of potential dangers! Even if it is exposed, it will bring huge trouble, or even complete death.

I have considered it for several days, but I haven't made a decision yet, please give me some guidance, teacher.】

This question is the real question Xu Jin asked Old Qi for advice today.

This question, Xu Jin has been entangled for several days.

It is truly difficult to decide!

There is no one else to discuss with, so he can only ask Old Qi for advice.
