June 13, 1762 of the Dou Calendar, cloudy.
When the morning class drum sounded, the sky was still overcast, and not a trace of Starlight could be seen.
This made Qian Xiaohu, who was preparing to take the Waking Spirit Pill this morning, a bit hesitant, trailing behind Xu Jin step by step, "Jin Ge, you think this cloudy weather will affect Star Pointing?"
"No!"
"Didn't you listen carefully in class?
Instructors had mentioned before that as long as it's not in a completely sealed room, Star Power is everywhere. Remember? Lu Xianbing, who succeeded in Star Pointing on the twenty-ninth day, succeeded in Star Pointing in the rain.
It's just cloudy, what are you afraid of?"
"Don't overthink it, have confidence. After taking the pill, focus on Star Pointing, you can definitely do it!" Xu Jin encouraged again.
"Mm, I can definitely do it!" With Xu Jin's encouragement, Qian Xiaohu, who had failed many times, gained a bit more confidence.
Xu Jin, however, went directly to the east side of the morning class plaza. When Ning Yuchan appeared at the start of the morning class, she began circulating the Canxia Style to receive Starlight.
When the Star Power in his chest accumulated fully, he started practicing the Big Dipper Killing Fist.
After only performing the first form, the feeling was different.
Focusing on martial arts practice inside the star lamp for over an hour last night yielded significant progress, which was immediately apparent when using the Big Dipper Killing Fist to temper his body.
For example, the first form of the Big Dipper Killing Fist and Yin Yang, previously only used fist movements to induce Star Power vibration and impact the Physical Body to achieve tempering effects.
It was originally straightforward.
But after practicing last night, the Star Power driven by Xu Jin's fist movements, starting fast and then becoming extremely slow, made the Star Power surge within his body like waves, one after another.
Like the sound of a bell, one impact, yet the aftershocks were continuous, lingering and resonant.
Yesterday, performing this form with the same Star Power only impacted and tempered the Physical Body once, but today, performing the same form impacted and tempered the Physical Body three or four times or more.
The Body Tempering effect was multiplied.
"Hm?"
Not far away, Ning Yuchan, Instructor Ning, who was guiding a young man in Star Pointing, suddenly turned her head and looked towards the source of the Star Power fluctuation, showing a look of surprise.
It was actually Xu Jin who produced the Star Power fluctuation?
Having only Star Pointed for two days, he could produce Star Power fluctuations with the Big Dipper Killing Fist. This comprehension is extraordinary.
Star Power fluctuation can be understood as the intensity of the Star Power's undulation, vibration, and eruption.
These young men who successfully Star Pointed were all circulating Star Power to diligently practice the Big Dipper Killing Fist, and of course, they also produced Star Power fluctuations.
Before Canxia First Level, the Star Power fluctuations produced were currently very low, so low that even Ning Yuchan couldn't sense them from a slightly farther distance.
As for those who could make Ning Yuchan sense the Big Dipper Killing Fist's Star Power fluctuations from a hundred meters away, up to now, there were only seven or eight people in this Star Gathering Season.
Now, we have to add Xu Jin.
And the time it took for Xu Jin to produce Star Power fluctuations was the fastest.
Sensing the waves of Star Power fluctuations produced by Xu Jin, Ning Yuchan became increasingly certain that her judgment was correct – Xu Jin's talent had actually been concealed and delayed by his congenital heart condition.
Unfortunately, there was no way to change it.
Xu Jin, however, was unaware of all this, completely immersed in the world of cultivation.
The change in the Big Dipper Killing Fist's technique could actually double the Body Tempering effect, it's incredible.
Last night, Xu Jin felt that the star lamp on the Spirit Fight Platform was still a bit useless, but now he felt it was a divine object.
The second form of the Big Dipper Killing Fist, 'Lifting Ten Thousand Stones', is primarily offensive. Coach Cui explained that Star Power should erupt in layers, like lifting a heavy object, applying continuous force, and finally exploding.
Previously, Xu Jin only remembered the explosion and didn't understand layered eruptions at all, but practicing martial arts in the star lamp last night made him understand.
One must erupt, but not all at once. Instead, control the Star Power, using the fist movements, to have small eruptions one after another, strengthening the force each time. Only when these eruptions gather together and burst open simultaneously is it called 'Lifting Ten Thousand Stones'!
Whoosh!
As the fist wind tore through the air, the Starlight in Xu Jin's chest suddenly expanded outwards significantly, causing Xu Jin to let out a muffled groan, his facial expression twisting directly, grimacing in pain.
He didn't practice incorrectly and get qi deviation.
Instead, after the eruption of the 'Lifting Ten Thousand Stones' form, the Star Power violently impacted towards the untempered areas in an explosive manner, causing extreme pain.
It was a bit like a classmate who just started practicing splits, accidentally forcing a successful split.
The splits were successful, but his legs no longer felt like his own.
His chest hurt so much he couldn't breathe, but the Body Tempering progress directly increased by a circle.
"It's too much!"
A strong wind brushed his face; the person hadn't arrived, but a silver cane arrived first. Ning Yuchan's voice sounded, "It seems your comprehension is good. You'll be able to produce Star Mang after a while."
Xu Jin wanted to ask what 'Star Mang' was, but was stopped by Instructor Ning with a silver cane, "Continue practicing the fist forms, but remember, the second form 'Lifting Ten Thousand Stones' and the fourth form 'Breaking the Heavenly Wolf', before breaking through to Can Xia Third Level, you must hold back your strength.
Otherwise, you will directly develop internal injuries."
"Thank you, Instructors."
Ning Yuchan waved her silver cane, and with a clang, moved away.
Her focus in the past few days was on those young men who hadn't successfully Star Pointing, striving to provide timely guidance and encouragement to help a few more young men succeed in Star Pointing.
Only after Xu Jin swallowed a Blood Replenishing Pill did he continue practicing the fist forms.
This time, he didn't dare to act rashly, honestly listening to Ning Yuchan. For the 'Lifting Ten Thousand Stones' form, he held back his strength and didn't dare to erupt recklessly.
Because even within the hour that followed, his chest was still faintly aching.
As for the latter three forms, Xu Jin practiced them normally.
This was mainly because the martial arts practice time in the star lamp last night wasn't long, just over an hour. The gains in the first two forms were already due to Xu Jin's thinking that was good at summarizing.
However, when practicing, he no longer focused too much on the Body Tempering effect, but instead on the fist technique itself.
In this situation, the fist technique also made considerable progress.
Xu Jin had already decided that during his lunch break and whenever he had free time, he must enter the Can Dou Tai Star Lamp more often to practice martial arts.
Moreover, Xu Jin felt that the function of this Spirit Fight Platform was definitely not limited to the few points already discovered. By using it more and exploring more, he would definitely be able to discover new uses.
After all, even a frying pan can be used for domestic violence, and a fish maw is not just high protein.
Xu Jin was confident he could make this Spirit Fight Platform do wonders.
Suddenly, a boiling clamor erupted in the middle of the morning class plaza.
The young men over there who hadn't successfully Star Pointing all looked in one direction, and even Instructor Ning went over.
That direction was precisely Qian Xiaohu.
It seems Qian Xiaohu succeeded in Star Pointing.
The morning class ended quickly. In today's morning class, Xu Jin did not draw the Starlight from the Spirit Fight Platform into his body. He only took one more Waking Spirit Pill and received one more round of Starlight. Counting it up, he practiced the Big Dipper Killing Fist a total of ten times. Yesterday morning, Xu Jin took a Waking Spirit Pill and also drew in Starlight twice, practicing the Big Dipper Killing Fist a total of thirteen times.
He practiced the Big Dipper Killing Fist three times less than yesterday, but in Xu Jin's self-perception, the Body Tempering effect this morning was stronger than yesterday morning.
The reason for this was that the improvement in his mastery of the Big Dipper Killing Fist was indispensable.
Because of the Blood Replenishing Pill, he didn't experience extreme hunger at noon, but Xu Jin still devoured three large bowls of rice.
"Jin Ge, I really succeeded in Star Pointing!"
"Jin Ge, thank you so much. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to succeed in Star Pointing!"
"Jin Ge, I succeeded in Star Pointing. From now on, I'll earn at least three to five taels of silver a month. After I pay you back, I must give you two chickens to supplement my parents."
"Then I have to save silver to get my brother a wife! Half of the silver for my Star Pointing was saved by my brother doing hard labor."
"When the New Year comes, I'll make a new set of clothes for my mom, my Old Dad, and my sister each. They haven't worn new clothes for several years..."
...
Qian Xiaohu, who succeeded in Star Pointing, was so excited he couldn't sleep.
Xu Jin listened, feeling he was pretty much the same. He needed to improve his family's living conditions and make a few nice new clothes for his sister.
Should he get Father Xu Dajiang another wife?
This seemed to be a question.
Then, with a thought, Xu Jin's mind sank into the Can Dou Tai Star Lamp, continuing to Cultivate the Big Dipper Killing Fist within the star lamp.
The afternoon Six Arts of Star Martial class was about forging. Xu Jin listened for a while, then simply let his mind wander, continuing to practice martial arts within the star lamp.
Before the evening class, Xu Jin spent most of the day practicing martial arts within the star lamp, and the progress was also pleasing.
He also got a little grasp of the latter three forms: Sweeping the Six Directions, Breaking the Heavenly Wolf, and Stabilizing the World with the Central Kui.
Xu Jin also finally knew what Instructor Ning's so-called Star Mang was.
When practicing martial arts within the star lamp after dinner, the second form 'Lifting Ten Thousand Stones' could occasionally produce a ray of Starlight covering half an inch on his body surface, which was extremely sharp.
This was probably the Star Mang.
Starlight covering the body is called Star Mang.
As for the first form and Yin Yang, they could already produce a Star Light Cover every time.
Of course, this was only within the star lamp.
During the evening class, Xu Jin followed his previous plan. After cultivating for two or three rounds, he began continuously drawing the Starlight from the Spirit Fight Platform into his body for cultivation.
But before starting to practice, Xu Jin took another Blood Replenishing Pill and a Foundation Solidifying Pill.
He performed the Big Dipper Killing Fist fourteen times in one go, only then consuming the strand of Starlight on the Spirit Fight Platform and the remaining one-fifth strand.
The Body Tempering effect was extremely astonishing.
Starlight had already covered more than half of his chest and abdomen, and the chest area had reached close to his shoulders.
Xu Jin felt that the Body Tempering effect of this single evening was roughly equivalent to the total Body Tempering effect from the three morning and evening classes since he successfully Star Pointed.
The more times he continuously circulated Star Power to perform the Big Dipper Killing Fist, the more the Body Tempering effect accumulated.
At the same time, Xu Jin also tested it out.
Currently, it seems one strand of Starlight can support the consumption of ten repetitions of the Big Dipper Killing Fist.
In the evening, two more young men succeeded in Star Pointing. Sha Youtian, who had been full of confidence before, also successfully Star Pointed tonight.
After the evening class ended, Xu Jin was not in a hurry to return to the dormitory. Instead, he found a quiet, deserted small pavilion and sank his mind into the star lamp, continuing to practice martial arts within the star lamp.
Xu Jin had already tasted the sweetness.
Coincidentally, tomorrow's Six Arts of Star Martial class teaches the Big Dipper Killing Fist, specifically the Big Dipper Killing Fist after Star Pointing.
Xu Jin was already looking forward to it because he had accumulated quite a few questions he wanted to ask the Instructors.
As usual, he practiced martial arts within the star lamp until the sound of the midnight drum, only then did Xu Jin get up and prepare to return to the dormitory.
But on the small path near the dormitory, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from the roadside and blocked Xu Jin!
