Chapter 617

"Not bad, first place, your points ranking has already reached first place.

Lay low, from now on, lay low, and maintain your ranking.

I will notify you to avoid trial-takers above the Ninth Layer in advance.

If there are Eighth Layer peak and below, you can attack and defeat them to gain points to maintain your ranking."

Inside the Trial Star Domain, the moment an Eighth Layer late-stage trial-taker was blasted to the ground by a thunder light from Xu Jin, he used the Thousand Star Token's teleportation function without hesitation, actively choosing to be eliminated to save his life.

Another hundred-plus points were credited, causing Xu Jin's ranking to jump directly from second place to first place in the trial.

Xu Jin hadn't noticed it himself, but the excited voice of the Law Enforcer True Person Uncle Youyu reached Xu Jin's mind first.

While Xu Jin nodded, he glanced sideways at the sky.

He had rushed to first place, yet this Law Enforcer was even happier than him, the trial-taker.

And he even had to pass information to him to maintain his ranking.

Could it be that there was some reward in this?

What exactly was this True Person Uncle Youyu plotting?

Xu Jin couldn't quite understand it.

In any case, it was definitely not performance.

If it were performance, who getting first place wasn't first place?

As for being first in the trial ranking?

Just kidding, with the Law Enforcer's precise positioning and navigation, and being able to avoid bad luck, letting Xu Jin avoid those Ninth Layer mid-to-late stage geniuses in advance, sometimes even letting Xu Jin ambush and prepare in advance, gaining a head start.

Under such circumstances, as long as one possessed a certain level of strength, getting first place was too normal.

Not getting first place would be abnormal.

Of course, possessing a certain level of strength was also very critical.

If Xu Jin didn't even have the strength to easily defeat an Eighth Layer late-stage genius trial-taker, then wanting to get first place would be relatively difficult.

If he suffered heavy injuries after defeating an Eighth Layer peak genius trial-taker, then basically he wouldn't have much combat power left.

This True Person Uncle Youyu would probably also be in a state of panic.

The reason True Person Uncle Youyu let Xu Jin avoid Ninth Layer mid-to-late stage trial geniuses was simple.

If Xu Jin encountered a Ninth Layer late-stage trial genius, the probability of winning was too small, and if he wasn't careful, he would be heavily injured.

Although recovery-type spiritual medicines and elixirs were not prohibited as long as you brought them in, even with the help of spiritual medicines and elixirs, it was not something that could be thoroughly recovered in a short time.

As for Ninth Layer mid-stage genius trial-takers, if Xu Jin encountered them, there was still a certain probability of winning, depending on the performance of both sides.

But injury was unavoidable.

Previously, Xu Jin had encountered a Ninth Layer mid-stage genius trial-taker, and after only three breaths of fighting, both sides retreated by mutual consent.

Neither wanted to chew on a hard bone.

The price of forcibly chewing on a hard bone was that you wouldn't be able to eat meat later.

After fighting continuously, Xu Jin discovered that the probability of him winning against Ninth Layer early-stage and below genius trial-takers was relatively high; below the Ninth Layer, he could win steadily, but he couldn't necessarily keep them steadily.

For example, Dan Dan Taiqi escaped easily.

Of course, if it were a real-life battle, the result would be different.

Spiritual treasures, explosive secret arts, one-time consumable external objects, etc.

The moment Xu Jin's divine sense sank into the Thousand Star Token, two more starlight hints appeared.

【Token Master 765586, congratulations on your ranking entering the first place in this trial ranking tournament. If you maintain this ranking until the end of the trial, you will be rewarded with one low-grade star sign, and at the same time, you will be recommended to all the alliance leaders and the general alliance of my Thousand Star Alliance, but whether you are selected depends on karmic connection.】

【Token Master 765586, you are participating in the Thousand Star Alliance trial for the first time. At the end of the trial, if your ranking remains in first place, you will be additionally rewarded with one supreme-grade star sign.】

Seeing these two starlight hints, a smile appeared in Xu Jin's eyes.

The reward was richer than he had imagined.

Xu Jin had already received several such starlight hints before.

When the ranking entered the top hundred, it hinted at an additional reward of one mid-grade star sign; when entering the top ten, it hinted at an additional reward of one high-grade star sign.

At that time, it made Xu Jin very happy.

Because a high-grade star sign could deduct three thousand points.

Too worth it.

But Xu Jin didn't expect that the reward for reaching first place was actually listed separately.

Supreme-grade star sign.

The Thousand Star Token hinted that a supreme-grade star sign could deduct five thousand points!

This first-place ranking must be maintained.

Of course, this reward was only for those participating in the trial for the first time.

The Thousand Star Alliance's rewards for those participating in the trial for the first time were extremely generous.

For those who had already participated, regardless of whether you were first or one-thousandth, they only rewarded one low-grade star sign.

Xu Jin estimated that this should be to prevent geniuses from constantly breaking into the trial to farm points.

After all, this trial was held once a month.

If there were no such restrictions, not to mention others, Xu Jin himself would have to come once a month.

Coming once, with various odds and ends, he could get nearly ten thousand points.

Previously, the total points Xu Jin got from sweeping thirteen Sixth Layer star domains and five Seventh Layer star domains were not enough for ten thousand.

If it were really like this, if Xu Jin didn't farm hundreds of thousands of points, he would be sorry for the Thousand Star Alliance's rules.

Xu Jin even guessed whether some old fox in history had done this, which led the Thousand Star Alliance to formulate such rules.

"True Person, could you find someone else for me?"

After reading the Thousand Star Token's starlight hint, Xu Jin, who was glancing sideways at the sky, suddenly whispered to himself again.

"Find whom?"

"It's that thunder-type alien Lei Quan, who is feared by other trial-takers, with a cultivation of Eighth Layer peak; True Person, you should have an impression of him, right?" Xu Jin said.

"Yes! I am very familiar with this Lei Quan's aura; he has participated in the trial several times, his combat power is very strong, and his ranking is always in the top ten each time. What do you want to find him for?"

"Useful."

"Too dangerous. You'd better lay low now, and then I'll give you a weaker target to maintain first place," True Person Uncle Youyu said.

"True Person, this person is of great use to me! If you don't help me, I can only try my luck," Xu Jin laughed.

Above the trial black tower, Daoist Uncle Youyu narrowed his eyes and raised his long eyebrows, "You brat, are you threatening me?"

"Not at all, True Person, I just simply want to find this Lei Quan, the opportunity is rare," Xu Jin said.

This sentence from Xu Jin was the truth from his heart.

Previously, Xu Jin had swept through more than a dozen Sixth Layer star domains and five Seventh Layer star domains, and he had gained a lot of the will of the stars of heaven and earth.

The law stars on his battle platform had also grown continuously.

Except for the fire-type origin star that had already broken through, among the other six law stars, the four law stars of water, earth, wood, and wind had all reached the Ninth Layer limit.

As long as Xu Jin exchanged for enough water spirits, earth spirits, or wood spirits, he could transform them into origin stars at the first opportunity.

Only the thunder-type law star and the gold-type law star had not reached the level of Ninth Layer limit perfection.

Among them, the gold-type heaven and earth star will was relatively easier to find, and it should be found within the Kunling Domain.

But the thunder-type heaven and earth star will required for the thunder-type law star, although not as difficult to find as the spatial heaven and earth star will, was still relatively difficult to find.

And the amount missing was not small.

That Lei Quan was a thunder-type alien, and the star domain he was in naturally had thunder-type heaven and earth star will.

Xu Jin just wanted to obtain the star domain coordinates behind him from Lei Quan to see if he could have any ideas later.

Currently, the most powerful and convenient star art he used was the thunder-type star art. Transforming the thunder law star into a thunder-type origin star was a rigid demand, and it could also substantially improve Xu Jin's combat power, including the speed of deducing and comprehending star patterns.

Now that there was an opportunity, he had to plan early.

Above the black tower, Daoist Uncle Youyu observed Xu Jin's tone and expression with the authority of heaven and earth, and it didn't look like he was threatening him.

"Little brat, you haven't even entered the sect yet, and you're already so restless."

Sighing secretly, four words flashed through Daoist Uncle Youyu's mind: For the sake of points!

Moreover, if this Xu Jin maintained first place, his nephew would give him one hundred thousand points.

The points he lacked for that matter were not too many.

Because of this, True Person Uncle Youyu compromised.

"Alright, then I'll give you the location of that brat, but you must behave yourself and listen to my command," True Person Uncle Youyu said.

"Thank you, True Person."

A few breaths later, True Person Uncle Youyu transmitted to Xu Jin, "First fly three thousand miles to the east, don't be too fast, otherwise it's easy to bump into others."

"Good."

A quarter of an hour later, True Person Uncle Youyu, who had directed Xu Jin several times, suddenly transmitted, "Prepare for a surprise attack, that guy is about to come over."

Xu Jin gave a thumbs up toward the sky.

This True Person Uncle Youyu was too sinister, directly directing him to come and ambush this Eighth Layer peak Lei Quan.

However, Xu Jin liked it.

The next instant, the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower hid in the clouds, and Xu Jin's figure also hid in the void.

"Here."

Almost the moment True Person Uncle Youyu's voice sounded in Xu Jin's mind, a thunder light flashed rapidly from the distance toward here; it should be Lei Quan searching for a target.

Silently, the space star art Void was activated!

Almost the moment the space star art Void covered the space in front of that thunder light, Lei Quan's uncomfortable voice, as if he wanted to vomit blood, resounded.

"Who the hell is setting me up!"

At the same time, Lei Quan, who was carrying thunder wings, fell out of the void, with thunder light overflowing wildly around his body, just like a thunder light ball.

Xu Jin's space star art did not attack Lei Quan directly, but it created a void space directly on the road Lei Quan was flying.

The effect was similar to a person running wildly and suddenly having no road under their feet.

The instant stop plus the confrontation with the void space almost caused Lei Quan's whole body's starlight to be disordered, and even the star tower behind his back emerged; it was obvious that he had used all his strength.

Boom!

The moment Lei Quan appeared, earth-yellow starlight like a small mountain had already blasted down toward Lei Quan continuously.

Earth-type star art Qianshan.

And the starlight transformed by Xu Jin's Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower was attached to one of the rings of the star art Qianshan, blasting over.

This was a star art combination Xu Jin had practiced and combined in the past half day.

It was best for setting people up.

Several Ninth Layer early-stage geniuses had all suffered big losses.

Lei Quan's whole body's thunder light exploded continuously, and for a time, he fell into passive beating.

At the same time, the five-colored arc light of the Five-Element Thunder Slash blasted out continuously, arriving later but reaching first, once again covering the movement of the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower.

The power of the Five-Element Thunder Slash made Lei Quan's eyes widen suddenly; obviously, this star art level exceeded his expectations.

The next instant, amidst the thunder, in the majestic light and shadow of the Qianshan starlight, the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower suddenly enlarged, and with just one hit, it covered Lei Quan within the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower.

The terrifying star power fluctuation suppressed Lei Quan like a mountain, carrying Lei Quan to blast toward the ground.

Lei Quan's eyes were about to split, knowing this was the critical moment of life and death.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his strongest killing move.

The thunder wings flashed, and terrifying flame light and thunder light exploded at the same time—thunder and fire exploded together!

Boom boom boom!

Firelight like a star exploding erupted inside Xu Jin's Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower, shaking Xu Jin's Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower to vibrate violently continuously, and the starlight flickered endlessly.

At the same time, Lei Quan actually took the opportunity to get rid of the suppression of the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower, and seeing that he was about to struggle out of the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower and escape to safety!

Void!

The space star art Void exploded continuously.

Every explosion of the space star art hit Lei Quan's escape star art just right, forcing Lei Quan to deal with the space star art with all his might.

The next instant, the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower sank again, re-suppressing Lei Quan to the bottom of the tower.

At the same time, Xu Jin also activated the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower with all his might.

Inside the hollow interior of the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower, one after another majestic Five-Element Thunder Slashes seemed to pour out, blasting directly from inside the cloud tower toward the suppressed Lei Quan.

Dense as rain.

Lei Quan only dealt with it for an instant, and a pair of wings had already been blasted into charcoal.

What was even more fatal was that the majestic soul impact attached to the Five-Element Thunder Slash, although it could not heavily injure Lei Quan's Dao Embryo, blasted Lei Quan's Dao Embryo into a dizzy state, exhausted to deal with it.

Even the action of Lei Quan wanting to activate the Thousand Star Token slowed down by a point.

The next instant, the moment Lei Quan's protective starlight shattered, another Five-Element Thunder Slash blasted directly onto Lei Quan's physical body, making Lei Quan's physical body and Dao Embryo tremble.

A strange and cold soul fluctuation blasted down suddenly.

Lei Quan only felt his head sink, his Dao Embryo sank suddenly, and suddenly he couldn't activate his Dao Embryo to cast star arts.

Soul-Eroding God Lock!

Success!

Boom!

The Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower blasted onto the ground like lightning, directly blasting Lei Quan's physical body into minced meat.

Before Lei Quan's Dao Embryo could react, the thunder light blasted down again, and while significantly weakening Lei Quan's Dao Embryo, Xu Jin had already placed heavy seals on Lei Quan's Dao Embryo.

With a push of his divine sense, he threw it into the Sumeru space.

At the same time, a starlight hint appeared, and Xu Jin obtained two hundred and seventy-four points.

This point total made Xu Jin's expression change slightly.

His first place was not yet three thousand points.

This Lei Quan's points ranking, even if not in the top three, was in the top five.

However, obtaining Lei Quan's points directly made Xu Jin's points break through the three thousand mark, reaching more than three thousand two hundred points.

In this way, Xu Jin's first-place ranking was much more stable.

But having said that, this Lei Quan was truly extremely strong.

It was just that he was set up by Xu Jin in advance, which disrupted his formation, and he was also confused by Xu Jin's star arts.

With intent calculating against no intent, he suffered a loss.

If there were no help from True Person Uncle Youyu, if Xu Jin just encountered Lei Quan head-on, he could win, but wanting to capture this Lei Quan's Dao Embryo alive would be difficult!

Basically impossible.

"True Person, this Lei Quan's points are only a little less than mine; it seems my first place is still not very stable," Xu Jin said.

"That is indeed true," True Person Uncle Youyu said.

"Then you find me a few more targets, so I can keep this first place stable! However, the targets are best to be trial-takers who are proficient in thunder-type or space-type star arts," Xu Jin said.

"You brat, you're too cunning!"

True Person Uncle Youyu laughed, "However, I like it."
