Chapter 406 - 333: Instantly Understood
A terrifying fluctuation of Star Power appeared out of thin air.
Even the students and teachers who were comprehending their newly acquired Star Skills were startled.
What happened?
How could there be such a strong fluctuation of Star Power?
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but turn to the figure standing behind Lu Lin...
Sun Xiaorui.
At this moment, Sun Xiaorui was clad in meticulously crafted dark iron armor, stomping on a pair of high boots, and the cloak behind her fluttered incessantly under the impact of the Star Power fluctuations.
The high ponytail tied behind her head added a touch of heroism.
Especially the face armor, which had turned from the usual black to silver white.
She had the aura of a white-haired witch straight out of an anime.
"It’s Sister Sun."
"Sister Sun broke through again."
"Wait, why did I say ’again’?"
"Half a year ago, Sister Sun had just broken through to the Middle Stage of Star Battle. This time, could it be that she’s breaking through to the Late Stage of Star Battle? Wouldn’t that mean she’s catching up with Brother Xue, Brother Ren, and Mr. Ying?"
"Sister Sun is amazing!"
The group of students looked at Sun Xiaorui’s figure with admiration, wishing that one day they could also break through so swiftly after entering the Star Battle Realm.
The fluctuations from Sun Xiaorui’s breakthrough continued to expand.
They covered the entire camp and didn’t stop there.
The surrounding forests of North Scorching Mountain, the demon beasts running within, and even the bloodthirsty vines that had just devoured an East Blood Rabbit buried their roots completely underground under this overwhelming aura.
The giant trees were blown continuously toward Sun Xiaorui’s direction by the gusts caused by the Star Power fluctuations.
Wind Chasing Army Main Camp.
These Star Power fluctuations were also detected by the Inner Sect Disciples responsible for monitoring the surroundings.
The information was reported layer by layer, attracting attention from the Core Disciples in the Main Camp.
North Scorching Mountain was already a place full of crises, and now, such a surging fluctuation was not a good sign.
Disciples at the Star Universe Stage pacified their subordinates and flew to the outskirts of North Scorching Mountain, looking intensely into the depths.
Suddenly, a disciple seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead.
"Oh no, my son Gu Ming is still inside training with someone named Lu Lin."
"This change just had to happen now. No! I need to save my son."
As he spoke, he took off into the dense forest without waiting for others to dissuade him.
Fortunately, the outskirts of North Scorching Mountain weren’t too dangerous, and with the influence of Sun Xiaorui’s advancement fluctuations, smaller demon beasts naturally didn’t dare to show themselves.
As Gu Ming’s father left, two more Star Universe Stage disciples thought of their own children, also training inside with Lu Lin.
Secretly cursing, they hurriedly followed.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Yao, what should we do?"
"Let’s go in and take a look."
"Let’s wait here."
Yao Song and Cao Ning spoke almost simultaneously, offering different answers that made everyone hesitate further.
Brother Yao was close to Sister Sun, usually responsible for relaying messages and such.
Mr. Cao had gathered quite a number of Core and Inner Sect Disciples around him, known for his boldness and being the most cultivated among everyone present.
With Sun Xiaorui absent, their differing opinions left the remaining Core Disciples unsure of whom to follow.
"Cao Ning, this is a critical time for Sister Sun, and we must understand what’s happening around us."
"If any changes occur in North Scorching Mountain, we should inform Sister Sun to make timely arrangements."
Yao Song spoke up.
"Otherwise,"
Cao Ning reassured everyone, "it’s precisely because our current situation is delicate that we should prioritize preserving our strength."
"With Sister Sun not in the camp, what if your reckless advance leads to losses among our men?"
"We are not the children under Junior Brother Lu, not even twelve years old. Who knows if our main camp will still be there after the one-month assessment period."
"You are being overly cautious. How can a leader be unaware of the surrounding situation?"
"You are the one being reckless; if any damage occurs, can you bear the consequences?"
As the two argued, the Star Universe Stage disciples around them didn’t know whom to persuade.
"Everyone, quiet!"
In the distance, a figure in a red dress floated over—it was Mo Jianwu, who hadn’t been seen for days.
"What’s all the fuss about?"
"You’re all senior disciples at the Star Universe Stage, yet you’re arguing like children."
Mo Jianwu flew over and saw Cao Ning and Yao Song embroiled in an argument, feeling exasperated.
How could they be arguing at such a critical moment, ignoring the urgent matters?
"Let’s go in."
"I see the location of the Star Power fluctuations isn’t far, just at the outskirts of North Scorching Mountain, so there shouldn’t be any problems."
Seeing Mo Jianwu say this, Cao Ning stopped arguing, gave Yao Song a cold snort, and then led his brothers to take off.
He didn’t think there was no need to go in; he was just opposing Yao Song out of principle.
This guy had been relying on Sister Sun’s trust and ignoring him lately; this time, Cao Ning was just using this incident to voice his resentment.
"Despicable!"
Yao Song glared fiercely at Cao Ning before heading toward the site of the Star Power explosion with Mo Jianwu.
In the camp.
All the students and teachers couldn’t withstand the might of Sun Xiaorui’s advancement and kept retreating.
They even stepped back to the outskirts of the camp, unable to maintain their stance.
Many students and teachers had to hold hands to resist together.
At the same time, they couldn’t help but wonder.
Even if it were an ascension within the Star Battle Phase, shouldn’t a minor breakthrough be this terrifying?
Could it be that Sister Sun is ascending to the Star Lord Phase?
This! Impossible!
Half a year ago, Sister Sun had just advanced to the Middle Stage of Star Battle, and now she’s reaching the initial phase of Star Lord.
This speed surpasses the progression rate of most cultivators during the Star Dust stage.
Star Dust, Nine Levels.
Star Core, Nine Refinements.
Star Universe, Ten Directions.
Star Battle, Condensing Blade.
Each level of cultivation requires going step-by-step, with no part that can be skipped or leaped over.
Cross-level combat, in the Longyuan World, is only a legend, never seen by anyone.
Normal people absolutely cannot be like Sun Xiaorui, either taking at least half a year or at most three months to level up once.
It’s said that when Sister Sun first entered the sect, she maintained this stable advancement speed.
Up to now, it has never changed.
"Sister Sun?!"
Gu Ming’s old dad, Gu Shunxin, who just arrived, was somewhat dumbfounded looking at Sun Xiaorui.
The source of this Star Power fluctuation turned out to be Sister Sun Xiaorui.
He thought some demon beast had leveled up.
Gu Ming in the crowd also saw his old dad, he wanted to wave but couldn’t make any extra gesture.
At this time, a little carelessness could get you blown away by the wild wind.
Even in the Star Dust Realm, the same applies.
Following this, the Star Universe disciples who arrived later also came forward, and when they saw it was Sun Xiaorui breaking through the realm, although they were surprised, they were not very astonished.
Isn’t breakthrough a normal thing for Sister Sun?
Soon after, as Mo Jianwu, Cao Ning, Yao Song and others came over, they also stood aside consciously watching Sun Xiaorui’s breakthrough.
Though it didn’t have much use for them, it was always nice to admire.
At the same time, they basically confirmed that Sun Xiaorui was likely breaking into the Star Lord Realm, which indicated that in these short two years she had already initially condensed blade, about to enter the Star Lord Phase, beginning to gather spirits for Star Soldier.
Star Battle, also known as Condensing Blade.
The main cultivation method is to condense a Star Soldier within one’s body by combining the cultivator’s essence, energy, and spirit.
This Star Soldier is not in the traditional sense.
It exists as illusion and can only be used in specific battlefields.
Or if cultivation continues to improve, reach Star King Realm, where the three spirits unite and the Star Soldier can be truly used as a conventional weapon.
However, since it’s a Star Soldier that can’t be used for a short time, why condense in advance?
This will be explained later.
Star Battle, Condensing Blade.
Star Lord, Gathering Spirits.
Star Universe, Body Fusion.
Once these three steps are completed, the cultivator can step into the Star King Realm.
Star Power fluctuations are still expanding, seeming like everyone in the Battlefield Secret Realm can feel Sun Xiaorui’s promotion.
Actually, the covered range is just within the North Scorching Mountain.
It hasn’t even reached the Main Camp of the Wind Chasing Army.
The center of Star Power fluctuation.
Sun Xiaorui slowly opened her eyes, revealing a hint of helplessness.
In the end, she still couldn’t enter the Star Lord Phase.
Otherwise, whatever Xue Rongdao, Ren Jiuxiao or Ying Zhong, all would have to step aside.
To reach the cultivation level of the Star Lord Phase, would be comparable to some elders in the sect whose combat power is not strong.
It is also a realm that no disciple from the Wild Blade Clan has reached in thousands of years.
Even standing beside Lu Lin, Sun Xiaorui’s internal Star Power circulation speed increased, but still couldn’t achieve a breakthrough in one go.
"Disperse."
Sun Xiaorui gently sighed, and the star clouds in the air scattered, the raging wind on the ground ceased, and the Star Power filled everywhere flowed back.
"Congratulations to Sister Sun for successfully entering the Star Lord Phase."
Yao Song was the first to rush forward to congratulate Sun Xiaorui.
"I am not in the Star Lord Phase yet."
Hmm?
Yao Song was surprised.
Did his flattery hit the wrong mark?
However, he looked at the expression on Sun Xiaorui’s face, always feeling that things are not that simple.
Could it be that Sun Xiaorui intentionally concealed her cultivation to ambush Xue Rongdao or Ren Jiuxiao who wanted to conduct decapitation strike actions against her senior brother?
Definitely so.
With such terrifying momentum just now, no one would believe it was a small realm promotion.
Since Sister Sun wants to hide, as her number one underling, Yao Song naturally grasped the intention.
Instant understanding.
"Sister Sun, congratulations on reaching the Late Stage of Star Battle, becoming a person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Brother Xue, Brother Ren, and Brother Ying."
Others were stunned.
What was the situation here, a moment ago it was the Star Lord Realm, how in the blink of an eye did it become the Late Stage of Star Battle.
Yao Song discreetly gestured to the many core disciples at the back, and everyone was just like him.
Instant understanding.
Hehe, for some reason a surge of anticipation arose in the heart.
If Ren Jiuxiao or Xue Rongdao, Ying Zhong came to Sister Sun looking to conduct decapitation strikes, there would be something interesting to see.
"Congratulations to Sister Sun for advancing to the Late Stage of Star Battle, leading the Wind Chasing Army forward courageously and winning every battle henceforth."
Sun Xiaorui was stunned.
What’s the situation, with one face showing immediate comprehension, eyes even subtly holding back laughter?
Did I say something?
Did I do something?
Anyway, Late Stage of Star Battle is just another term for peak, no need to be too serious.
She gave a slight "hmm" towards everyone, then turned to look at Lu Lin.
"Junior Brother Lu, well, forget it, I’ll tell you later."
In front of others, Sun Xiaorui couldn’t find the previous ease she had when speaking with Lu Lin, thus she flickered away from the camp, vanishing.
Lu Lin: ...
Sister Sun, you’re not being forthright, you hardly said a word just to break through, after the breakthrough you say one thing then leave.
Doing so seems a bit unkind.
Lu Lin’s small gaze, Sun Xiaorui naturally couldn’t see.
However, it was seen by Yao Song, Cao Ning, and others.
"Junior Brother Lu, how have you been recently."
Yao Song came over and placed a hand around Lu Lin’s shoulders.
"Junior Brother Lu, Sister Sun entrusting you to manage affairs at this school is indeed very fitting, look at these children, their essence, energy, and spirit are excellent."
Cao Ning also grasped Lu Lin’s hand, saying warmly.
