Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1982: Chapter 846: First Place Overall and Extra Rewards

He hasn’t moved for quite a while.

Calculating, his growth points are only eleven.

Far less than his disciple.

"He can really take first place!"

With surprise, Yu Kun Emperor turned his gaze towards Xu Jin, currently in eleventh place, with a score already reaching one hundred and eighty-four points, yet not surpassing the previous round’s limit.

But Xu Jin’s biggest problem is that the limit from the previous round is too high.

Growth points will be his biggest concern.

From the current rate of Xu Jin’s score improvement, Yu Kun Emperor believes Xu Jin cannot hold on to first place.

Nevertheless, Yu Kun Emperor’s eyes remained fixed on Xu Jin at this moment.

Because right now, Xu Jin is the last interference to his disciple securing first place in the first round’s overall score.

*****

Inside the Tongyou Sacred Road, Xu Jin had just broken through the thirteenth realm.

After the tenth realm, Xu Jin’s efforts from three days of seclusion were starting to show.

For example, in the previous round, Xu Jin took one hundred and nine breaths to get through the thirteenth realm.

But this round, Xu Jin used only eighty-six breaths to pass the thirteenth realm.

The points earned were two more than before.

"I wonder if this round’s improvement can help me get through the nineteenth round.

If I can get through the nineteenth round, it will be entirely different."

Once Xu Jin passes the realm testing the Divine Soul Cultivation, the next two realms won’t be much of a challenge.

So far, the Power of Seven Emotions Xu Jin collects every three rounds remains a fixed two thousand threads.

But until now, Xu Jin calculates his own growth points to be barely eight.

In the sixteenth realm, Xu Jin was pushing the Daoist Embryo forward with great difficulty on the sacred path, taking more than eighty breaths halfway through.

Compared to the previous round, progress was noticeable.

Last round, Xu Jin took over one hundred and ninety breaths to barely get through the sixteenth realm, but this round theoretically looks like he could pass in around one hundred and seventy breaths.

Growth points should increase by two.

"By this calculation, my theoretical growth points are just thirteen unless I’m willing to make fewer small gains," Xu Jin pondered.

"Thirteen growth points are still a bit too few."

"In that case, I’ll use it!"

The next moment, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought instantaneously sunk into the Star Battle Divine Seal, and as he activated it, a faint starlight immediately enveloped Xu Jin, reducing the pressure from all directions, while his steps became slightly lighter.

Forty breaths later, Xu Jin crossed the starlit gateway, taking a little over one hundred and twenty breaths.

In this pass, the score was directly seven points, six more than the previous round.

Growth points instantly reached nineteen.

In the seventeenth realm, Xu Jin gained another growth point.

There was no change in the eighteenth realm, continuing small gains.

Xu Jin took the nineteenth realm seriously.

Last time, Xu Jin persisted for just over ten breaths in the nineteenth realm before being eliminated.

So this time?

This time, as soon as Xu Jin stepped into the nineteenth realm, he fully activated the Daoist Embryo.

He wanted to see where his limit had improved to.

Ten breaths!

Twenty breaths!

At twenty-four breaths, Xu Jin barely took another step, but felt like he was about to be blasted out.

In an instant, he activated the Star Battle Divine Seal.

It must be said, the Star Battle Divine Seal is a featureless yet all-encompassing Divine Soul Treasure.

Instantly, the pressure on Xu Jin was greatly reduced.

But even with the activation of the Star Battle Divine Seal, Xu Jin still felt like he was in a quagmire, each step exceedingly difficult!

For a mere ten-meter path, Xu Jin took a full one hundred and ninety-seven breaths to walk through, finally breaking the starlight gate.

Another point was earned.

"The twentieth realm should be passable, so the twenty-first realm can yield some gains again..."

*****

In the Saint Selection Camp.

In a short span of fifteen minutes, all the Emperors were once again astonished by Xu Jin.

They thought Xu Jin’s last round performance was already astonishing.

But this round’s performance was downright frightening.

Because Xu Jin’s growth points reached twenty!

Not only was his score still first, but his growth points were also first.

So the overall first place was not in question.

The joy on Yu Kun Emperor’s face had long disappeared, replaced by a wooden expression.

Only a trace of anxiety glimmered deeply in his eyes.

His disciple not getting first place would greatly reduce his benefits, but that wasn’t the most important.

The most important is that if Xu Jin from Dongxuan Star Realm takes first and continues, it will become a bonus in the future with the Emperor.

By then, not only would True Monarch Tianzhang and their term not end early, it might even be extended.

And Dongxuan Star Realm is his only chance to rid himself of the identity of Wuzhi Emperor!

At the center of the Saint Selection Camp, True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment looked at the name high in the sky, his expression had long changed.

Previously, he was targeting the extremely rare Thunder Chaos Material that Xu Jin took.

But now, he became more interested in Xu Jin as a person.

If he could capture Xu Jin, there might be an unexpected surprise.

But now his worry was how to capture Xu Jin.

First round double first, total first, in subsequent processes, it isn’t too difficult to target Xu Jin, but how to make it seamless is quite challenging.

If capturing Xu Jin causes the Emperor to suspect, it would not be worth the trouble.

Therefore, True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment kept observing.

An enemy of an enemy is his friend.

This principle, True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment always understood well.

Since Xu Jin’s astonishing performance, he had been keeping a close watch.
