Chapter 1388: Chapter 555: Ju Zhang’s Vision (2)
Fire Element Star Skill, mostly follows an explosive enemy-killing route, but for now, no matter how strong the Fire Element Star Skill’s explosive killing is, it can’t compare to the Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash deduced by the Thunder Origin Star Pattern.
The Five Elements Thunder Light formed by the mutual enhancement and amplification of five types of elemental powers, as it stands now, is not something the pure Fire Series can compare to.
Choosing Water Series, Xu Jin mainly wants to strengthen his defense.
Water Element Star Power is extremely soft and resilient.
In the next instant, Xu Jin activated the strand of Divine Dao True Intent obtained from the Baidou Divine Sect, reflecting his image in the Candou Lamp Domain while his mind delved into the Water Source Star Pattern of the eighth-tier upper.
Begin deducing and comprehending.
*****
Inside the Transcendent Golden Pillar of the Eight Desolates Royal Court, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, waited respectfully.
Just moments ago, he had sent the battle records of the first two encirclements against the Seven Kill’s successor, along with his plan for the third encirclement, in detail to his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, awaiting his father’s feedback.
In two days, he would once again be able to resonate with the life aura of the Seven Kill’s successor, ready to launch the third encirclement; thus, he places great importance on it.
If he fails this time, he doesn’t know how he’ll face his father.
Moreover, if he fails again this time, even he feels inferior to the two brothers he has always compared himself to.
However, he believes his plan should work.
If his father adds some adjustments, the probability of capturing the Seven Kill’s successor should be extremely high!
Quietly waiting for a full hour, the voice of Golden Shuo True Monarch finally resonated within the Transcendent Golden Pillar,[Ju Zhang, what do you think is the probability of success for this plan?]
[Father, child believes the probability of success for this plan should reach as high as 90%.]
[90%?]
Within the Transcendent Golden Pillar, Golden Shuo True Monarch’s mocking laughter echoed,[90%, that appears to be your wishful thinking. I look at your plan, its essence is actually not much different from the previous plans.
You’ve just assembled the powers of late-period eighth-tier and peak experts, reaching an extreme, nearly doubled.
Have you gathered all your late-period eighth-tier and peak experts under your command?]
[Indeed! However, concerning the deployment, father need not worry, child has arranged it properly.]Ju Zhang explained.
[I am concerned about the safety of your Eight Desolates Continent, if you can present the Seven Kill’s successor to the Holy Ancestor, even if the Eight Desolates Continent is severely damaged, it would be worth it.
I say your plan, in essence compared to the previous attempts, hasn’t changed.
It’s still piling strength, gambling on probability.
If you used this plan in the first encirclement, the success rate could indeed reach 90%. But for the third, I think, let alone 90%, not even 50%.
If the opponent is vigilant, directly using Space Star Technique to retreat, you won’t even have a 30% chance.]Golden Shuo True Monarch said.
Upon hearing this, the King of Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang couldn’t help but show a trace of helplessness.
Space Star Technique is extremely difficult to counter, and he has indeed exhausted all the tactics he could.
Such an enemy, if faced head-on, he could easily crush a hundred times.
But if the opponent decides to escape from the start, it’s truly difficult.
The combat plan he gave to his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch, had already employed all possible factors he could think of.
If a large number of people were useful, he would wish to bring all sixth-tier and seventh-tier forces over to participate.
But against such an opponent, a large number of people are useless.
[Please, father, offer guidance.]Ju Zhang earnestly requested.
Ju Zhang holds extreme respect for his father, Golden Shuo True Monarch.
His father is his idol!
[Zhang’er, do you remember when you were young, I taught you about the shifts and relationships between friends, enemies, and perspectives?]
The word ’Zhang’er’ nearly brought tears to Ju Zhang’s eyes; it’s been years since his father called him that, and it reminded him of that lesson.
[Father’s teachings, of course, are remembered. In this world, there are no eternal friends or enemies; with the shifts in interests, the relationship between friends and enemies changes accordingly.
As for perspective, one must broaden their vision, peel away personal emotion, and view the entire situation from a higher level...]
As he spoke, Ju Zhang’s voice suddenly halted; suddenly, he had a moment of comprehension regarding Golden Shuo True Monarch’s intent.
[Father’s meaning is, I can still use external, stronger power?
Blood God Sect?]Ju Zhang voiced the question in his heart.
[Seems you aren’t entirely foolish, haven’t forgotten all my teachings.
In the third encirclement, if another Ninth Tier were added, how much do you think the chance of success would increase?
The key is, this power doesn’t require you to pay a hefty cost; perhaps just a couple of empty promises can get it involved.
Why not use it?
Even if a price has to be paid, compared to the whole family’s gain, what does it matter?]Golden Shuo True Monarch said.
[Child understands now, thank you for father’s guidance.]
[If you understand, make early preparations; there are still two days left, I’m waiting for your good news.]Golden Shuo True Monarch stated.

*****
February 18th, amid the clouds near Green Snake City.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Jin sent out a blast of cold light from his palm, exploding three hundred meters away; as cold air emanated, ice beams emerged, freezing everything within a ten-meter radius blue ice.
The power was strong, but Xu Jin was somewhat disappointed.
Just now, he had drained away a good nine and a half of the Divine Dao True Intent obtained from Baidou Divine Sect, only to comprehend the Water Source Star Pattern to the ninth-tier lower.
After engraving it onto his Star Core, Xu Jin immediately tested the Star Skill brought by the ninth-tier lower Water Source.
The Star Skill was named Ice Trace by Xu Jin.
The power was also decent, considered a restrictive Star Skill.
But Xu Jin was not satisfied.
Though Ice Trace is a restrictive Star Skill, compared to the Five Elements Thunderbolt Slash, its attack speed was much slower, and the attack trajectory very obvious.
Against opponents on par with Xu Jin, the power is strong.
Against opponents stronger than him, it somewhat falls short.
Xu Jin’s primary goal was to deal with opponents even stronger than himself.
Hence some disappointment.
After a quarter-hour of consecutive testing, Xu Jin returned disappointed.
The Ice Trace Star Skill is very strong and practical, but if used against fast ninth-tier experts like Ju Zhang, its effect is minimal.
Though not wasted, it offers little aid in Xu Jin’s future combat against Ju Zhang.
Honestly speaking, the practicality of Ice Trace Star Skill is still very strong.
If someone pursues him, Ice Trace can limit and block the enemy.
If paired with Chain Star Pattern, after large-scale limitation and blockade, at the moment the enemy breaks free, a Thunderbolt Slash strikes, guaranteeing a hit.
But against ninth-tier...
Returning to his secluded site, Xu Jin, amidst contemplation, suddenly had an epiphany.
Previously, he’d seen the powerful Water and Fire Star Skill used by Ju Chang, the eighth-tier peak expert of the Golden Pillar Alien Race, during space lockdown.
At the time, he’d had this idea.
But hadn’t tried it yet.
Now suddenly, the idea arose.
The advantages of Ice Trace Star Skill are apparent, but so are its disadvantages; slow speed, obvious trajectory, these are Ice Trace Star Skill’s flaws.
"How can the flaws of Ice Trace Star Skill be compensated?"
"Space Star Technique!"
"If the Space Star Technique could be combined with Ice Trace, then..."
In an instant, Xu Jin decisively began attempting.
Reflecting himself in the Candou Lamp Domain, using the remaining half-tenth Divine Dao True Intent and previously remaining one-tenth Space Divine Dao True Intent, Xu Jin simultaneously activated Water Element Principle Stars and Space Law Stars, starting attempts to integrate the two Star Power attributes using Ice Trace as a foundation.
Initially, this kind of deduction was extremely intricate.
Even with Divine Dao True Intent as aid, it remained so.
But soon enough, Xu Jin found the key.
Direct combination it was.
Ice Trace plus Space Shifting Star Skill was indeed Xu Jin’s most optimal solution.
The key was how to integrate them to burst forth.
If one direction didn’t work, try another.
Xu Jin began continuous practical operations, seeing if he could merge the traits of the two Star Skills, then return to deduce common points.
Continuous attempts, continuous deductions, and improvements.
Half a day later, as an Ice Trace appeared out of nowhere and erupted from afar, Xu Jin laughed!
