Chapter 97: Shedding Mortality and Loopholes in the Practice Arena? (Seeking Subscriptions)

If the time before the sixth layer of Meal of Mist was the tempering of various parts of the body.

Then the seventh layer of Meal of Mist was similar to cutting hair and washing marrow, changing tendons and replacing bones.

The so-called 'Refining Gold Chapter' was a process of urging Star Force to continuously temper the whole body, which was called refining skin, refining flesh, refining blood, refining bones, and refining organs.

But this refining was carried out simultaneously.

After the whole body was tempered by Star Force, it was as transparent as jade, and one could urge Star Force to continuously wash oneself, urging Star Force to surge like a flood, like a flood passing through the border, strengthening and tempering, excluding impurities from the body, and improving the foundation.

This step was also called 'Shedding Mortality'!

Completing this step meant shedding the mortal fetus and vulgar bones, and the vitality was bursting!

Everything was vastly different from ordinary people.

For example, recovery speed.

The 'one hundred days for broken tendons and bones' applicable to ordinary people would be shortened by multiples after completing this step.

Even with broken bones, a cultivator could recover in at most half a month.

Ordinary knife wounds, which took seven to ten days for ordinary people to basically heal, only took one to two days for a cultivator.

Lifespan was also different.

As long as this step was completed, one could live to eighty years old without illness or disaster.

According to the latest news from the Star Patrol Guard's interrogation, why did the richest man in Jin Shan County, Zhao Bo, want to join the Baidou Divine Sect and even offer 600,000 taels of silver to the Baidou Divine Sect?

It was said to be for longevity.

The Baidou Divine Sect promised him that he could reach the ninth layer of Refine Star in three months and could live to over one hundred years old without illness or disaster.

In this world, cultivation could also increase lifespan, but the increase was extremely limited.

The lifespan limit for the Refine Star Realm, Condense Star Realm, and even the Gather Battle Realm was around one hundred and twenty years.

Unfortunately, the Star Patrol Guard searched the entire Chiba Island but did not find the 600,000 taels of offering money Zhao Bo mentioned.

And on the executed Star Official Gu Jianfei and a group of believers, the silver found did not exceed 10,000 taels.

Currently, the interrogation was still ongoing, only hearing that Zhao Bo was almost done.

There was another not-so-good news: Zhao Bo's second son, Zhao Weizhen, who had cultivation talent, and his family were not found.

They didn't run away from Jin Shan County.

Instead, several years ago, they entered the National Academy and were cultivating at the Da Chen National Academy in Dachen Wan Yi.

When the Da Chen National Academy went to arrest Zhao Weizhen's family, they had all disappeared in Dachen Wan Yi, and they had missed them.

Zhao Weizhen entered the Jin Shan Academy in the 1753rd year of the Dou Calendar, was selected into the Da Chen National Academy a year later, and before disappearing, his cultivation was at the fourth layer of Condense Star.

Leaving Ning Yuchan's place, Xu Jin went straight to the pill room.

For the seventh layer of Meal of Mist, because one had to urge Star Force to wash the body like a flood, one needed pill cooperation; the required pill was the Shedding Mortality Pill.

Each cultivation session required the consumption of one Shedding Mortality Pill.

Cooperating with the Shedding Mortality Pill to cultivate the Refining Gold Chapter could achieve the effect of cutting hair and washing marrow; generally, cutting hair and washing marrow three times, with the total amount of Star Force increasing by 30%, was considered reaching the peak of the seventh layer of Meal of Mist, and one could attempt Star Forging.

"Shedding Mortality Pill? You're at the sixth layer of Meal of Mist?" The manager of the pill room was very surprised.

He was already familiar with Xu Jin because Xu Jin was the disciple who bought the most pills during this year's star-pointing season, especially Refreshing Pills and Awakening Pills.

Because in his impression, Xu Jin pointed stars for eighty-three days; it was absolutely impossible for him to have such a fast speed.

"Just broke through; Teacher told me to come and buy Shedding Mortality Pills," Xu Jin said.

Hearing that Xu Jin had already broken through to the sixth layer of Meal of Mist, the pill room manager immediately looked at Xu Jin with different eyes.

Nothing else, every disciple who broke through to the sixth layer of Meal of Mist had to come here to receive or buy Shedding Mortality Pills.

If one wanted to grasp the cultivation progress of disciples, he, this pill room manager, was the clearest.

Among the star-pointing disciples of this session, Xu Jin was the fifth to come to receive Shedding Mortality Pills, ranking behind only Yue Daqi, Lu Xianbing, Ren Xiaoxiang, and Yu Guan.

Not only that, the pill room manager knew one more thing: for example, the first-place star-pointer of this session, Yue Daqi, pointed stars for three days and broke through to the sixth layer of Meal of Mist half a month ago, while Xu Jin pointed stars for eighty-three days and broke through to the sixth layer of Meal of Mist until now, but the total cultivation time was a full sixty-five days less than Yue Daqi's.

Faster cultivation speed than the first-place star-pointer of this session; such a monstrous cultivation speed was absolutely worthy of his smiling face.

"Master Xu, according to the Academy's rules, disciples who have just broken through to the sixth layer of Meal of Mist can receive five Shedding Mortality Pills. Under normal circumstances, one pill a day, cultivating for five consecutive days, five Shedding Mortality Pills can complete the first cutting of hair and washing of marrow.

Afterwards, about every five to ten Shedding Mortality Pills can complete one cutting of hair and washing of marrow.

Generally speaking, buying two more bottles is enough." The pill room manager said.

"Then give me two bottles."

Very quickly, the pill room manager handed two and a half bottles of Shedding Mortality Pills to Xu Jin; one pill was 100 taels of silver, quite expensive, and two bottles were 2,000 taels.

However, Xu Jin could afford it now.

Moreover, as long as they were disciples whose cultivation had broken through to the Meal of Mist Realm, they should all be able to afford it; at most, they would go mountain-gathering two or three times and save enough.

"By the way, are there any other pills for restoring Divine Soul power?" Xu Jin asked.

"For Divine Soul power, there are also high-grade Refreshing Pills."

"Are there any others?"

"No more. Generally speaking, even for the Refine Star Realm, high-grade Refreshing Pills are enough to use."

"What about pills for restoring Star Force?"

"There are quite a few pills for restoring Star Force; there are high-grade Star Supplementing Pills, the recovery effect is twice that of ordinary Star Supplementing Pills, and there are Three-Origin Star Returning Pills, the effect is relatively strong, four times that of high-grade Star Supplementing Pills, usually only used in the late stage of Refine Star or the Condense Star Realm." The pill room manager said.

"Then give me one bottle of each."

Whether it was the Three-Origin Star Returning Pill or the high-grade Refreshing Pill, each was 100 taels of silver; in the blink of an eye, another 2,000 taels of silver were spent.

Coming to the pill room once, Xu Jin's 4,000 taels of silver disappeared.

The cash in Xu Jin's hands plummeted below the 10,000-tael mark again, with only a mere 9,000 taels left.

When leaving the pill room, Xu Jin stuffed four Shedding Mortality Pills and two high-grade Refreshing Pills into two Star Lamps to start nourishing them.

And the first-tier Star Weapon long saber nourished in the third Star Lamp had been nourished for three days without any movement.

But as long as it could be nourished, Xu Jin had plenty of patience.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin arrived at the External Affairs Hall.

The Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall, Ceng Shuo, personally received Xu Jin again, and was even more enthusiastic than last time.

Ceng Shuo first took out a seal, and through the seal, hit a ray of starlight into Xu Jin's Star-Picking Token, and then sent a starlight transmission through his own Star-Picking Token.

"Wait a moment, I have already used the seal, but it needs the Academy Head's signature before you can be approved to enter the Da Chen National Academy." Ceng Shuo was chubby, and his eyes were almost squeezed shut when he smiled.

Xu Jin came to the External Affairs Hall to handle the second matter, which was to obtain identity certification, officially join the Da Chen National Academy, and obtain the official identity of the Star-Picking Tower.

Previously, Xu Jin had asked Ning Yuchan about the identity of the Star-Picking Tower, and had also asked Qi Shanye.

Regarding this aspect, Qi Shanye knew more than Ning Yuchan.

The origin of the Star-Picking Tower was extremely mysterious; even the Lingji Star Palace, which was once one of the four major Star Palaces, could only apply for a main tower after meeting the requirements of the Star-Picking Tower, and only had management rights over the main tower and branch towers of the Lingji Star Palace.

It was said that the Star-Picking Tower had observers, but they had never appeared in the world.

So Xu Jin didn't need to worry about the identity issue.

The identity in the public area of the Star-Picking Tower, as long as he didn't say it, no one would know.

"Alright, the Academy Head has already signed it; you can directly enter the Da Chen National Academy, and you can also enjoy the related conveniences of our Da Chen National Academy," Ceng Shuo said.

"Thank you, Hall Master."

After returning to his small courtyard, Xu Jin held the Star-Picking Token, entered the Star-Picking Tower, and then, according to the position in his memory, pushed open the Star Light Gate of the Da Chen National Academy.

In an instant, another brilliant hall appeared in front of Xu Jin.

【Da Chen Star-Picking Tower】

Inside the hall, it was divided into several light gates; every time he pushed open a light gate, it was a different hall.

There were only four light gates Xu Jin could push open.

【Da Chen Myriad Star Hall】 【Da Chen Star-Chasing Hall】

The Myriad Star Hall was the same as the Myriad Star Hall of the main Star-Picking Tower, but what the hell was the 'Star-Chasing Hall'?

Xu Jin clicked in immediately.

Only after clicking in did he discover that this Da Chen Star-Chasing Hall was a bit like a task release point, divided into two types: bounties and tasks.

【Long-term bounty: Baidou Demon Sect Master, identity unknown, gender unknown, holding the Seven-Star Spirit Treasure 'Four Spirit Seal'. Anyone who discovers their true identity will be rewarded with 100,000 Dao Merits and 10,000 Starlight. Those who kill them will be rewarded with 500,000 Dao Merits and 200,000 Starlight. Those who capture them alive will be rewarded with 1,000,000 Dao Merits and 500,000 Starlight.】

【Long-term bounty, Five-Direction True Monarchs of the Baidou Demon Sect】

【Long-term bounty, Four-Phase True People of the Baidou Demon Sect】

【Long-term bounty, Blood God Sect Master Yu Shen】

There were hundreds of long-term bounties, mostly related to the Baidou Divine Sect and the Blood God Sect, as well as several traitors; others were mostly short-term bounties, but short-term bounties were mostly focused on finding objects.

In addition to this, there were 【Academy Tasks】

There were many Academy tasks, with over a thousand, and they were constantly changing; some tasks were locked once someone accepted them.

They were mainly some patrol and investigation tasks, as well as capturing fugitives, and even escort and star-beast slaying tasks, most of which had cultivation requirements.

Xu Jin looked and saw that there were also several tasks marked with the location of Jin Shan County.

One of them was the bounty for capturing Zhao Weizhen; bringing him to justice would be rewarded with 1,000 Dao Merits and 200 Starlight.

The reward was not high, and there was not much information provided; it seemed there was no possibility of completion.

In addition to the Star-Chasing Hall and the Myriad Star Hall, there were two other light gates Xu Jin could push open.

【Da Chen Practice Hall】 【Da Chen External Affairs Hall】

Inside the Practice Hall, it was empty, with nothing.

And inside the Da Chen External Affairs Hall, there was a lot of information.

【Star Lord: Xu Jin】

【Identity: Yanzhou Jin Shan Academy, Star Patrol Guard Captain, second-tier low grade】

【Cultivation: sixth layer of Meal of Mist】

【Dao Merits: 210】

【Starlight: 141 strands】

"Junior brother, I am Wu Dong. If you have any questions, you can ask me; I will tell you everything I know," just as Xu Jin was confused, someone suddenly came up to greet him.

After chatting for a few sentences, Xu Jin discovered that this Senior Brother Wu Dong was a disciple of the Da Chen National Academy, who had accepted a duty task, so he was so enthusiastic...

It was mainly to guide new disciples.

And this task treatment made Xu Jin a bit jealous.

Guarding the Da Chen External Affairs Hall for one month, guarding for two hours every day, accumulating thirty days, could earn 60 Dao Merits and five strands of Starlight.

Not to mention the five strands of Starlight, which was equivalent to 500 taels of silver.

One month, four hours a day, could earn 500 taels of silver; where could one find such a fat job?

And there were Dao Merits.

After asking this Senior Brother named Wu Dong, Xu Jin knew how his 210 Dao Merits came about.

It was exactly the two great merits mentioned by Commandant Tian Zhang earlier.

Da Chen National Academy rule: one great merit is recorded as 100 Dao Merits, and one small merit is recorded as 1 Dao Merit.

As for the use of Dao Merits, there were many.

In the Da Chen National Academy, they could be used to buy pills, mid-to-high-tier Star Patterns; one strand of Starlight was about 10 Dao Merits; Dao Merits could be exchanged for Starlight, but Starlight could not be exchanged for Dao Merits.

However, the biggest use of Dao Merits was to promote one's rank.

For example, if Xu Jin wanted to be promoted to Deputy Banner Master of the Star Patrol Guard, he would have to deduct 200 Dao Merits. At the same time, upgrading the Star-Picking Token also required Dao Merits.

【First-tier Star-Picking Token: can be upgraded, requires 10,000 Dao Merits, 100 strands of Starlight】

Under Wu Dong's explanation, Xu Jin understood a lot about the Da Chen National Academy.

For example, why was the Da Chen Practice Hall empty?

Because the Da Chen Practice Hall only opened at certain times, and most of the time, it was limited by identity.

"Junior Brother Xu, come, let's add each other as friends. If you have anything in the future, you can send me a starlight transmission directly. If you have a chance to come to Dachen Wan Yi, you must contact Senior Brother; Senior Brother will definitely do his best as a host." When Xu Jin was about to leave, Wu Dong laughed.

But Xu Jin showed a difficult expression.

It wasn't that he didn't want to add, but according to his previous understanding, adding a friend once would consume one strand of Starlight, and sending a starlight transmission once would also consume one strand of Starlight.

Too expensive, too black, he couldn't afford to use it.

"This, Senior Brother, I am short of money, and my Starlight is insufficient." Xu Jin said this sentence quite frankly.

Hearing this, Wu Dong laughed loudly, "Junior Brother, look, you still haven't understood the rules clearly. As long as you join our Da Chen National Academy, whether it's adding friends or sending starlight transmissions among our internal personnel, it only requires one Dao Merit."

"Only requires one Dao Merit?"

This made Xu Jin overjoyed.

This was equivalent to the cost being reduced by ten times.

Originally it required 100 taels of silver once, now it only required 10 taels of silver once.

This wasn't something he couldn't afford; he could still add it.

"Then if I have a chance to go to Dachen Wan Yi, I will definitely go to bother Senior Brother." Xu Jin added Wu Dong as a friend, and then left; of course, this was just polite talk.

In his previous life, unless they were extremely close buddies, people generally wouldn't bother the other party when running to their territory, so as not to make the other party awkward.

After all, hosting and entertaining required spending money and time, which were the dead spots for young people who had just graduated!

After thinking about it, Xu Jin added two people as friends before leaving the Star-Picking Tower.

Consuming 2 Dao Merits.

One was Ning Yuchan, the other was Lu Xianbing.

Both were passed very quickly, and Ning Yuchan even sent a starlight transmission directly to Xu Jin.

"Joined the Star-Picking Tower? Then the Practice Arena in the public area, you can play it every day; it can significantly improve your actual combat ability. See if you can raise your ranking to within 1,000."

Xu Jin could only say Ning Yuchan was rich.

This sentence was ten taels of silver.

And the distance between Ning Yuchan and Xu Jin was about two miles; rushing over shouldn't take more than a minute.

Moreover, listening to Ning Yuchan's tone, her expectations for Xu Jin were quite high.

She directly set a ranking within 1,000 in the first-tier Practice Arena.

"Brother Jin, congratulations, congratulations. Your breakthrough speed is too fast. I remember that in less than half a month, you broke through from the fifth layer of Meal of Mist to the sixth layer. This is much more powerful than us so-called Grade A geniuses!"

Not long after Xu Jin returned to the small courtyard, Lu Xianbing rushed over.

However, Lu Xianbing was obviously not the type of person who wasted time. He came to find Xu Jin because he received Xu Jin's friend request and discovered that Xu Jin had broken through to the sixth layer of Meal of Mist, so he came to inform Xu Jin of one thing.

"Brother Jin, do you know why many ordinary senior brothers from previous star-pointing seasons have already reached Star Forging or even the Refine Star Realm, but the several senior brothers from last autumn's star-pointing season are still suppressing their cultivation at the seventh layer of Meal of Mist, unwilling to break through to Star Forging?" Lu Xianbing went straight to the point.

"Why? I was also confused about this point before. You and I should be able to reach the peak of the seventh layer of Meal of Mist in less than a month, so why have Senior Brother Wang and the others been suppressing their cultivation breakthrough?

Normally speaking, they have already wasted at least half a year." Xu Jin said.

"Indeed. If they had let go and cultivated, they would probably be at the second or third layer of Refine Star by now. Of course, there is a reason for suppressing cultivation.

One is to cultivate Star Arts to Great Completion, and the other is for the annual Autumn Exam!" Lu Xianbing said.

Hearing this, Xu Jin frowned. He had heard the word 'Autumn Exam' many times today.

The Academy Head was saying it, Ning Yuchan was saying it, the External Affairs Hall Hall Master Ceng Shuo had also mentioned it, and now Lu Xianbing was saying it again. What was so good about this Autumn Exam?

"For us disciples, the Autumn Exam has two biggest benefits: one is the possibility of being selected into the National Academy, and the second is that after qualifying, one can enter the Star-Picking Tower Secret Realm for Star Forging with 100% certainty. The probability of success in Star-Picking Tower Secret Realm Star Forging is as high as 70%, and the star core forged is at least mid-grade.

But for us, the most important thing is to be admitted to the National Academy.

To tell you the truth, Brother Jin, my goal, and the goal set for me by my father, is that I must be selected into the National Academy this year.

Only by being selected into the National Academy can one have a more distant future, and only then is it possible to break through to the Condense Star Realm or even the Gather Battle Realm." Lu Xianbing said.

"Must be selected into the National Academy? Does that mean the Jin Shan Academy cannot break through to the Condense Star Realm or the Gather Battle Realm?" Xu Jin asked suspiciously.

"Indeed.

The Jin Shan Academy only enjoys the resources of one county, while the disciples of the Da Chen National Academy enjoy the resources of an entire country. The difference between them can be called hundreds of times, with a difference like clouds and mud."

Suddenly, Xu Jin thought of Wu Dong, the National Academy disciple he saw at the Da Chen Star-Picking Tower External Affairs Hall earlier.

The task they received was relaxed to a terrifying degree.

Four hours a day, continuing for a month, could earn 60 Dao Merits and five strands of Starlight.

Xu Jin remembered that when he was mountain-gathering in July, he killed two Blood God Sect demons, and Banner Master Zhang Yunliang had said that killing two Blood God Sect demons could be recorded as 10 small merits, or recorded as special harvest.

10 small merits was 10 Dao Merits.

Xu Jin killed two Blood God Sect demons, which could be considered life-and-death, to obtain 10 Dao Merits, while National Academy disciples, by accepting a task, could easily earn 60 Dao Merits, and only needed to deposit a thought into the Star-Picking Token.

This task, anyway, Jin Shan Academy disciples couldn't accept it.

"Brother Jin, you might not know that every high-level official in our Academy, such as the Academy Head, Vice Academy Head, Proctor, and Chief Instructor Ning, has studied at the National Academy, for at least one or two years, and up to three or five years.

Even Commandant Tian Zhang has studied at the National Academy.

It can be said that without entering the National Academy, Star Patrol Guard Banner Master is the limit of our lives."

Lu Xianbing's words also gave Xu Jin a shock.

Information gaps still existed.

These second-generation officials mastered much more information.

Without entering the National Academy, Star Patrol Guard Banner Master was the limit of Xu Jin's life?

Was Xu Jin willing?

Absolutely not!

Ever since he saw Academy Head Dong Zhao stepping on starlight and walking in the sky that day, Xu Jin had already had a clear goal. In the future, he also wanted to step on starlight and walk in the clouds, and even hold his beloved person, step on starlight, and walk in the clouds.

Even more, Xu Jin had some absurd ideas.

If there was a chance, Xu Jin wanted to try the extreme experience above the clouds.

Drinking tea above the clouds had more style than drinking tea in a small stream or mountain stream.

There were many things he wanted to try.

After thinking about it, Xu Jin looked at Lu Xianbing. "Brother Lu, then you came here, do you have any ideas?"

Xu Jin knew very well that his relationship with Lu Xianbing was good, and they had mutual affection, but this relationship hadn't reached the level of being intimate.

Lu Xianbing ran over to tell him this news, so he must have ideas.

"Brother Jin, look at the dozen or so senior brothers like Senior Brother Wang from last autumn's star-pointing season, who have been fiercely suppressing their cultivation and bitterly practicing Star Arts, just to be selected into the National Academy in the Autumn Exam.

Not only them, many local Academies have such phenomena.

In this way, the competitive pressure for us to be selected into the National Academy is very, very large.

But I am not willing to waste half a year waiting for next year's Autumn Exam.

So, I have a way to quickly improve combat power." Lu Xianbing said.

Hearing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but look at Lu Xianbing in surprise.

No way, a way to quickly improve combat power?

Lu Xianbing was also willing to tell him?

"Brother Jin, you know that the Practice Arena has a daily challenge limit, right?"

"Yes, it's only five or six times a day." Xu Jin said.

"This is the opportunity for us to improve combat power."

A few minutes later, Xu Jin finally understood what Lu Xianbing meant—another information gap.

The reason why the Practice Arena consumes Divine Soul power is related to dying in battle in the Practice Arena.

Dying in battle in the Practice Arena consumes a portion of Divine Soul power.

But if you don't die, you can continuously practice in the Practice Arena within a quarter of an hour, and the Star Force supply of the Practice Arena is endless.

In other words, as long as you find a suitable opponent, you can crazily practice Star Arts within a quarter of an hour. As for the Star Force provided by the Practice Arena being exhausted, as long as you are willing to spend the Starlight of the Star-Picking Tower, you can immediately replenish the Star Force, with no limit on the number of times, as long as you have Starlight.

And in reality, with Lu Xianbing's total Star Force, practicing Star Arts with full effort, let alone a quarter of an hour, he couldn't even support two hundred breaths.

As for relying on pills to restore Star Force, even high-grade Star Supplementing Pills, after taking them three times in a short period, the recovery effect is only 10%.

However, the Practice Arena is not stupid; such loopholes are not easy to exploit.

There must be a battle!

And it must be a proper battle.

So Lu Xianbing wanted to find Xu Jin to cooperate, the two of them borrowing the great battle to practice Star Arts, greeting each other with Star Arts, but not hitting the vital points.

And they had to coordinate and cooperate in advance.

One attacks, one defends, practice for a while and then switch; the effect would be great.

With Refreshing Pills, bitterly practicing Star Arts in the Practice Arena for a day is comparable to ten days or half a month of bitter cultivation for others.

Opponents with similar strength, people who can be trusted, and also need similar financial resources; after all, it requires at least two Refreshing Pills a day, and also needs a certain level of Star Art attainment, which is also not easy.

Most importantly, one must have sufficient Starlight.

Among all the star-pointing disciples of the Academy, only Xu Jin and Lu Xianbing received the 100-strand Starlight reward.

If you only have a few strands of Starlight, you can't support a few days of consumption.

After heavy condition screening, Lu Xianbing found that only Xu Jin was suitable, so he came to find Xu Jin.

After listening, Xu Jin nodded. The method Lu Xianbing found to practice Star Arts in the Practice Arena had the same effect as his practicing in the Star Lamp.

However, practicing in the Star Lamp had no restrictions, while in the Star-Picking Tower Practice Arena, there were many restrictions.

Especially the Star Force consumption, which required Starlight to replenish.

According to Lu Xianbing's calculation, it required at least fifteen to twenty strands of Starlight a day to restore Star Force and support cultivation.

That would be 2,000 taels of silver a day, and counting the Refreshing Pills, it would be at least 2,200 taels.

This wasn't honing Star Arts; this was directly exchanging silver for Star Art progress.

Ordinary people, even if they knew, really couldn't afford to practice.

Xu Jin believed that this method must be known by many people, but those who knew it might not be able to afford to practice it.

Not to mention the heavy condition restrictions, just this daily consumption of Starlight was not something everyone could support.

If Xu Jin didn't have the Practice Arena Star Lamp, this would definitely be the best choice.

Burning silver to exchange for Star Art attainment improvement was a great thing.

But the problem was Xu Jin had a Star Lamp; burning silver like this was very wasteful.

But the problem was, Lu Xianbing had come over and told Xu Jin such valuable information; refusing directly wouldn't be good.

He could only agree to try it first.

"Good, then let's try."

Seeing Xu Jin agree, Lu Xianbing was overjoyed. "Brother Jin, time is of the essence; shall we start now?"

"Good."

At that moment, Lu Xianbing sank his mind into the Star-Picking Token and entered the Practice Arena with Xu Jin to start sparring and challenging.

But less than a minute later, Lu Xianbing's face turned bitter like a chrysanthemum!
