Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1521: Chapter 618: You Yu True Monarch’s Request (2)

Seems like a good thing.

Yet Xu Jin always had a strange feeling, as if You Yu True Monarch was worried he wouldn’t agree.

"Okay."

Xu Jin agreed readily; given all the help You Yu True Monarch offered today, why not accept a bargain of a mentor?

"True Monarch, what’s the deal with this Fenghua Alliance Master?

Can’t recruit disciples?

Or is his reputation bad, so you have to come out and arrange things?" Xu Jin asked.

Above the Trial Black Tower, You Yu True Monarch’s eyes suddenly widened, a smile appeared as his long eyebrows twitched; he didn’t expect this kid to have such thoughts.

Can’t recruit?

That’s impossible.

If his junior wanted to recruit, countless people would beg on their knees for an eternity.

After an explanation, Xu Jin was even more surprised, "True Monarch, if this Fenghua Alliance Master is so powerful, why does he need you to recruit disciples?"

You Yu True Monarch was directly stumped by the question.

He can’t just say he sold Xu Jin out for ten thousand points, can he?

If he joined the sect, he would be Xu Jin’s grand-uncle in the sect hierarchy. What about his reputation?

"Well... The lineage of the Fenghua Alliance Master has countless benefits, but there’s a downside too." You Yu True Monarch said.

"What’s the downside?" Xu Jin pursued.

"This... It’s still early, not suitable for you to know now. Even if you join, it won’t concern you directly.

When you become a disciple, he’ll inform you.

Don’t worry, since I mentioned it, I won’t harm you.

This matter has only benefits for you," You Yu True Monarch explained.

In an instant, Xu Jin’s mind was flooded with countless thoughts.

He even considered outright refusing.

But he thought it over and decided against it.

For one thing, You Yu True Monarch is very straightforward, the type to act first and ask for favors later.

Secondly, if he outright refused, the consequences wouldn’t be something Xu Jin could bear easily.

An Eleventh Rank True Monarch could wipe Xu Jin out as easily as turning his hand.

"The trial ranking competition is about to end, remember the Fenghua Alliance Master."

You Yu True Monarch’s voice faded in Xu Jin’s ear, and within moments, the Starlight changed in the heavens and earth, and an inexplicable force sent Xu Jin out of the Trial Star Domain, the Black Tower appearing in his view.

In the next moment, Xu Jin landed.

Amidst the chaotic sounds entering his ear, the Starlight in his Thousand Star Token flashed continuously with notifications.

[Master 765586, in the May Trial of the Thousand Star Alliance, you achieved first place in the trial ranking and will be rewarded with one low-grade Star Token.]

[Master 765586, in the May Trial of the Thousand Star Alliance, you achieved first place in the trial ranking and you are participating for the first time and made it into the top thousand for the first time. You will receive an additional top-grade Star Token.]

[Master 765586, in the May Trial of the Thousand Star Alliance, you achieved first place in the trial ranking. Your trial record will be sent to thirteen incumbent Masters, and if any Master has a favorable impression of you, they will directly contact you. You can decide to stay or leave freely.]

[Master 765586, in the May Trial of the Thousand Star Alliance, you achieved first place in the trial ranking. If in an hour, no Master recruits you, your top-ten trial ranking will allow you to directly enter the Headquarter as a Thousand Stars Golden Order member, though, you can also refuse, staying or leaving is at your discretion.]

Four successive Starlight transmissions made Xu Jin immensely pleased.

He got the top-grade Star Token worth five thousand points.

But importantly, even if no Master took him as their disciple, he could still go to the Headquarter as a Thousand Stars Golden Order member.

Xu Jin had thoroughly understood.

Zou Jia, Lei Quan, Tan Taiqi, Tuo Song, and other trial geniuses had previously all made it into the top ten in past trials but didn’t go to the Headquarter for secluded cultivation.

Instead, repeatedly participating in trials to seek the great chance of becoming a disciple under the Masters of the Thousand Star Alliance.

But none knew that the great chance they desperately sought had already been predetermined for Xu Jin at this moment.

"The May trial ranking has concluded; the standings are out, and the list has been sent to the Headquarter. Let’s wait for 15 minutes; whether any Master favors you, we will know shortly after." You Yu Daoist’s voice rang out.

At that exact moment, various voices rang out together.

There were surprises, amazement, but mostly inquiries about the rankings.

As the specific trial rankings were only known to the individuals themselves.

"Silver Sparrow, what was your ranking this time? Should have made it into the top ten, right?" Zou Jia’s voice sounded.

In the distance, Tan Taiqi’s gaze moved from her Thousand Star Token’s internal vision off of Xu Jin, and coldly said, "Anyway, stronger than you!"

"I barely made the tenth place, not sure if I can seize the opportunity this time!" Zou Jia laughed.

Tan Taiqi’s eyes revealed helplessness, "I’m seventh, not as good as last time, not sure if I’ll catch a Master’s eye."

This left Zou Jia momentarily stunned.

Indeed, being in the top ten was just a chance.

His excitement suddenly halved.

Just at this moment, Xu Jin felt a sharp gaze directed at him, opened his eyes, and found Tuo Song from the Three-Eyed race coldly staring at him.

"Ruined my chance for first; watch out in the future!" Tuo Song snorted coldly at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment before realizing.

Turns out, Tuo Song thought failing to kill Xu Jin or accumulate his points wasted his time, leading to not enough points and only ranking second.

Understanding this, Xu Jin couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Tuo Song second? Then who is first?" Zou Jia was astonished.

Next to him, Tan Taiqi was also somewhat surprised; she had expected Tuo Song to be first.

The surrounding crowd upon hearing this news looked around, seeking the first, but found no results.

Beside him, when Zou Jia saw Xu Jin, he quickly offered congratulations, "Brother, you survived till the end and emerged unscathed against Tuo Song; your trial ranking should be within a thousand, right?"

At his words, Tan Taiqi glanced at Zou Jia, displaying a peculiar look.

Within a thousand?

Judging by her encounters with Xu Jin, he was firmly within the top hundred, maybe even top twenty or top ten.

"Yeah, I made it." Xu Jin nodded.

"That’s great! Within a thousand, there’s at least one reward.

By the way, do you know the exact rank? Did you make it into the top hundred?

In the top hundred, there’s still a chance to chase opportunities." Zou Jia inquired.

"Yeah, within top hundred." Xu Jin nodded.

At this, Zou Jia grinned, "That’s great!

What’s your exact rank, brother? Be straightforward!

A rank like this, you’re already within the top hundred, no one’s laughing at you.

Reveal it, they’d just envy you.

Quick, what’s your rank?" Zou Jia urged.

"Well... I’m ranked first!"

"What?"

Zou Jia froze momentarily, then stepped forward quickly, "Brother, you’re first? Did I hear wrong?"

"No."

As Xu Jin nodded, Zou Jia turned to stone in an instant.

All eyes from all directions converged in a moment, silent everywhere!

Even Tuo Song, hearing this, had all three eyes wide open!
