"Wait."
Below the Spirit Fight Platform, a group of youths cleared an open space. Luo Geng got into position, about to start practicing. Vice President Feng Shu suddenly spoke, causing everyone's gaze to turn towards Vice President Feng Shu?
What's going wrong now?
"It's quite low below the platform, and the view isn't good. To prevent your Instructors from not seeing clearly, come up onto the platform to practice," Vice President Feng Shu said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Headmaster Dong Zhao smiled slightly. Everyone actually understood the little thought behind Feng Shu saying this.
He was afraid he would favor Xu Jin.
If it were on the Spirit Fight Platform, everyone could see clearly, every detail revealed, making it hard to show favoritism.
After all, the current struggle for the Middle Courtyard between Luo Geng and Xu Jin was subtly becoming a struggle for prestige between him and Vice President Feng Shu.
If Xu Jin won, Feng Shu's prestige would be damaged.
If Xu Jin lost, it would prove that Feng Shu was right before. Not only could his prestige be recovered, but he could also gain some back.
But did he, Dong Zhao, need that?
No!
Everything depended on the skills of Luo Geng and Xu Jin.
Practicing on the platform was certainly fine.
Dong Zhao stood up, Cao Chun and Tian Zhang also stood up, and the other Banner Leaders and Instructors also retreated, making space for the practice.
The next moment, Luo Geng jumped onto the Spirit Fight Platform. He first glanced at his uncle, Luo Kehang, who was a Patrolling Star Guard Banner Leader. The latter returned a firm look.
Luo Geng had received guidance from his own uncle, who held nothing back.
At this moment, Feng Shu was also very confident in Luo Geng.
He knew about the relationship between Luo Geng and Luo Kehang.
Snap!
As soon as Luo Geng unleashed the first stance of Big Dipper Killing Fist, he produced a sonic boom. It was a fierce fist force, with the momentum to kill and defeat enemies.
Luo Geng's fist force already had some of the true intent of the Killing Fist.
In Big Dipper Killing Fist, killing is the true intent.
Each stance produced the sound of breaking air and killing. As the first move, 'East Harmonizes Yin Yang', ended, a flash of light appeared, and a Star Shield appeared on his right shoulder.
Feng Shu, Luo Kehang, including Cao Chun, Headmaster Dong Zhao, and many Instructors all nodded frequently. This fist force was very solid.
The second move, 'West Rises Ten Thousand Stones', was also like this. As the second move's three stances ended, a sudden sound of breaking air rang out, and a Star Mang covered Luo Geng's right shoulder.
"Star Mang!"
"This is Star Mang!"
The youths below the platform exclaimed in surprise. Even Head Instructor Ning Yuchan was quite surprised.
Among the youths of this Star Gathering Season, about 80% who broke through to Canxia First Level could produce a Star Shield, but less than 40% could produce a Star Mang.
Luo Geng had hidden himself quite deeply.
Feng Shu was also overjoyed upon seeing this.
When he saw Luo Geng produce the Star Mang, he knew that Luo Geng entering the Middle Courtyard was assured.
Hearing the exclamations of the youths below the platform, a look of smugness also appeared on Luo Geng's face. He was very much enjoying it, and his subsequent fist force became even fiercer.
However, in the subsequent last three moves of Big Dipper Killing Fist, Luo Geng's performance was ordinary, and he did not produce any Star Art.
But just producing Star Art in the first two moves was already astonishing enough.
Soon, Luo Geng finished his practice, stood with his fists withdrawn, and moved to the side.
"Xu Jin, it's your turn!" Ning Yuchan said.
Feng Shu originally wanted to directly ask Xu Jin if he wanted to stop now to avoid embarrassment, but since Ning Yuchan had spoken, he didn't say anything.
However, Feng Shu was a little surprised.
Because Xu Jin, who came up onto the Spirit Fight Platform, didn't seem to have a trace of panic.
"Headmaster, Vice President, Supervisor, Supervisor, all Instructors," After Xu Jin went up and cupped his fist in greeting, he also got into his fist stance.
Xu Jin's first stance of Big Dipper Killing Fist was not amazing.
As the saying goes, you know if someone is an expert as soon as they make a move.
In comparison, Xu Jin, who had only practiced the fist techniques by himself, his Big Dipper Killing Fist was not as fierce as Luo Geng's.
It was also within everyone's expectation that he would produce the Basic Star Shield Star Art at the end of the first move.
It was just that Headmaster Dong Zhao saw something. He felt that the Star Shield produced by Xu Jin was much smoother than Luo Geng's, without any trace of sluggishness.
But this point could not be used as a basis for judging the outcome.
We still had to see Xu Jin's subsequent performance.
"Star Mang!"
"Xu Jin also produced Star Mang!"
When Xu Jin's second move ended, the youths below the platform exclaimed in surprise again. No one expected that Xu Jin would also produce Star Mang.
Luo Geng's face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Vice President Feng Shu and his second uncle, Luo Kehang.
Feng Shu's expression was blank, without any change.
He just produced Star Mang, what's there to be afraid of?
In terms of overall attainment in Big Dipper Killing Fist, Luo Geng was currently definitely stronger than Xu Jin.
Even Headmaster Dong Zhao couldn't overturn this.
Xu Jin's Big Dipper Killing Fist didn't stop, however. His fist force changed, unleashing the third move, 'South Sweeps Six Directions'.
Below the platform, Yue Daqi, the top Star Pointer of this season, was boredly counting his fingers. Suddenly, his expression froze, and his eyes widened!
"Star Ring?"
"Could this be the Basic Star Art, Star Ring?"
Just as Xu Jin finished the third move, a circle of solidified Starlight suddenly rippled out from his chest and abdomen, quickly spreading in all directions, like water waves, truly magnificent.
"Star Ring? How is this possible!" Luo Geng's second uncle, Luo Kehang, also instantly widened his eyes.
Even Head Instructor Ning Yuchan had a look of astonishment.
The reason Big Dipper Killing Fist is basic is that each move represents a Basic Star Art.
The Basic Star Art, Star Shield and Star Mang, in the first two moves are actually relatively easy to master.
But the Basic Star Art, Star Ring, that can be produced in the third move, its difficulty is more than double that of Star Mang and Star Shield combined.
Yue Daqi, the top Star Pointer of this season, seemed to have taken twenty days to produce the Star Ring, right?
How many days has Xu Jin used?
Counting this morning, it's only eight days, right?
Feng Shu's eyes were also filled with shock, but more so with annoyance and anger.
The face he was just about to pick up was thrown onto the ground again.
The smile on Headmaster Dong Zhao's face, however, grew wider and wider.
An unexpected pleasant surprise.
Supervisor Cao Chun and Supervisor Tian Zhang were both expressionless.
As for Luo Geng, he was directly stunned!
Under his second uncle's guidance, he had practiced and hidden the Star Mang, which was considered sufficient preparation.
Good heavens, you Xu Jin not only hid the Star Mang, but also hid the Star Ring. Could you be any more devious?
Things had come to this point, and the outcome was already obvious.
Even if Luo Geng was slightly better in the true intent of Big Dipper Killing Fist, producing one more Star Art was a crushing advantage.
But Headmaster Dong Zhao, Head Instructor Ning Yuchan, many Instructors, and Supervisor Tian Zhang all continued to stare intently at Xu Jin's fist force.
If the fourth move of Big Dipper Killing Fist, 'North Shoots Tianlang', was practiced to a minor completion, it could also produce a Basic Star Art - Star Arrow.
The difficulty of the Basic Star Art, Star Arrow, was slightly higher than Star Ring.
If this Xu Jin could really produce it, then his talent, at least in terms of Star Art comprehension, was no longer that of a Genius, but definitely at the monstrous level.
The fourth move, 'North Shoots Tianlang', was quickly finished, and no Star Arrow appeared.
A trace of a complex and hard-to-understand expression, mixed with helplessness, flashed in the eyes of Supervisor Tian Zhang and Supervisor Cao Chun.
Geniuses were few, and monsters were even fewer.
But keeping a Genius in hand instead of sending them to the Star Hall was even more difficult.
The Star Hall was not to be trifled with.
Headmaster Dong Zhao looked at Xu Jin's fourth move, 'North Shoots Tianlang', thoughtfully. His gaze towards Xu Jin's fifth move became even more focused.
On the Spirit Fight Platform, Xu Jin didn't produce Star Art even in the fourth move, let alone the fifth.
But after the practice ended, the youths below the platform still cheered in unison, their applause like thunder.
Only Luo Geng's face was ashen.
The qualification for the Middle Courtyard was no longer his.
Xu Jin stood with his fists withdrawn, his face not red, his breathing not labored, and a look of confidence.
In fact, if not for the limitation of his cultivation and the insufficient degree of Body Tempering, Xu Jin could have produced Star Art not only in the fourth move but also in the fifth move.
Inside the star lamp, Xu Jin had already produced Star Art in both the fourth and fifth moves.
Practicing for four hours every day inside the star lamp was not for nothing.
【First-Order Spirit Fight Platform】
【Platform Master: Xu Jin】
【Received Star Favor, one bow daily can obtain a wisp of Starlight】
【star lamp: Basic Star Shield Star Art solidified, can be replaced after one day.】
【Cultivatable Items: Zero】
【Star Art: Basic Star Shield (Solidified) Basic Star Mang, Basic Star Ring, Basic Star Arrow, Basic Star Light Shield】
【Can be Promoted】
His thoughts casually flashed across the Spirit Fight Platform. The Star Arts on the Star Altar Jade Tablet had already reached five items.
"Headmaster, Vice President, Supervisor, Supervisor, Luo Geng and Xu Jin have finished their practice. What is the final result, please instruct," Ning Yuchan, who was presiding over the practice, requested instructions.
If Ning Yuchan hadn't requested instructions, it would have been fine. As soon as she did, Vice President Feng Shu's face immediately turned black, and he turned away.
Ning Yuchan was also helpless. It wasn't that she deliberately embarrassed the Vice President; she only had the right to preside, not the right to decide.
"Everyone understands clearly, there's no need for me to say more. Announce it," Headmaster Dong Zhao said.
"Yes."
"Through the practice determination, the last person to join the Middle Courtyard in this Star Gathering Season is Xu Jin. Do any of you have any objections?"
"I have an objection!"
As soon as Ning Yuchan's words fell, different voices rang out from below the Spirit Fight Platform. Everyone couldn't help but look over in astonishment!
With things like this, who could still have an objection?
