Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 64: Is there a chance to escape?

Zhao Youyue recalled Lü Zirui's strange escape method and reminded Lin Xiufei, explaining the situation.

"...I don't know what kind of escape technique it is, so be careful."

Lin Xiufeng suddenly leaped up and slammed Meilin hard into the bottom of the pit!
As the person fell, they landed on top of her.

Meilin, panting, finally regained some of her senses.

The stagnant water at the bottom of the pit washed away the blood and mud from her body.

Meilin felt her body was still being jolted and shaken, and she hadn't fully calmed down yet.

She's held on until now, waiting for a turning point.

Meilin has experienced far too many battles with similar reversals in her past.

Especially when the other person is a man.

She smiled and said to Lin Xiufeng in front of her:

"You're so violent. Is your body only good for hitting me? I can't move now, so you can do whatever you want..."

Zhao Youyue, standing by the pit, really wanted to jump in and stab her to death!

Fang Yuan carried Renxing to the edge of the pit. Upon hearing this, Renxing spat out, "You shameless filthy thing!"

"That's wonderful! There's something I've wanted to do for my sister for a long time!"

Lin Xiufeng's smiling eyes clearly showed that the Heavenly Martial Power gathered in Meilin's body was flashing towards his fingers.

Before Meilin could fully channel her power, he grabbed her wrist.

"Mmm... it hurts so much, sister." Meilin's sweet, coquettish voice suddenly faltered.

"Does it still hurt, sister?"

Lin Xiufeng's Black Light Heavenly Martial Sword pierced Meilin's Heavenly Martial Heart at the waist.

How could you possibly know?!

Fear was evident in Meilin's eyes; she could hardly believe that Tianwu's Heart had been hit in one strike!
Lin Xiufeng, feigning mystery, smiled meaningfully and asked in return, "What do you think?"

The next instant, the silver Heavenly Martial Heart surged forth with dense Heavenly Martial Power, which was absorbed into Lin Xiufeng's body.

Lin Xiufeng felt that the Heavenly Martial Power accumulated in his Heavenly Martial Heart had increased from the 36th to the 46th level, a truly astonishing increase!
The rest transformed into scattered energy, spreading throughout the open area.

Fang Yuan and Ren Xing also absorbed a lot of energy at the edge of the pit. In addition, with the Heavenly Martial Power that Lu Zirui released when he was attacked by Zhao Youyue, the two of them each absorbed six layers.

That feeling was even greater than the joy Lin Xiufeng experienced when he absorbed the power of the Golden Knife and Silver Sword Heaven.

Renxing lost a quarter of his martial power after being swept away by Meilin's sweeping force, but this wave not only made up for it all, but also greatly increased it.

The Heavenly Martial Power contained within the shattered Heavenly Martial Heart dissipated, and a small silver bead appeared.

Lin Xiufeng, who was prepared, thrust forward with his Black Light Heavenly Martial Sword!

The moment it struck, space distorted, and the orb of light vanished into thin air.

'What is this thing that I can't grasp or pierce?'

Lin Xiufeng guided the Heavenly Martial Power of the Black Light Heavenly Martial Sword in his hand, which was quickly absorbed back into his body. Some of it returned to the Shaofu and Yuji acupoints on his hand, while the rest returned to the Heavenly Martial Heart at the Zhongji acupoint.

Tianwu weapons are quite handy.

The Heavenly Martial Weapon suffers almost no loss during swinging; only when it hits does the Heavenly Martial Power output suffer significant loss.

However, the damage caused was greater, and the enemy's overflowing Heavenly Martial Power was enough to compensate for the losses from several attacks.

However, using it to attack the Heavenly Martial Soul would be a losing proposition.

The attack consumed too much Heavenly Martial Power and was too lethal, causing the Heavenly Martial Soul's Heavenly Martial Power to dissipate too quickly, so much so that it could not absorb much.

At the bottom of the pit, after the Heavenly Martial Heart shattered, Meilin's body scattered into a burst of light, just like someone who had entered the Heavenly Martial Realm.

In an instant, it vanished without a trace.

Lin Xiufeng saw Meilin's discarded dress, which was so tattered it looked worse than a worn-out rag.

He was digging at a mound of earth somewhere in the pit when Fang Yuan jumped down and said:
"I'll handle the cleanup; I'll have to do my part."

Even the willful jumped down to dig on the other side.

Lin Xiufeng said, "Don't bother looking over there. I remember Meilin left her bag here."

As they were talking, Fang Yuan had already dug himself out of the mound of earth.

Zhao Youyue felt very uncomfortable from being soaked by the rain, so she called them up to the tree so she could check on them there.

Lin Xiufeng let the rain wash away the mud from her head, face, and body. When she returned to the tree, Meilin's small bag had already been checked.

Both of the miniature robots are powered.

Six tubes, each labeled with "Yonghe Mutant Beast Bone Powder." One of the micro-robots was locked, while the other, clearly a backup, lacked an unlocking lock, presumably to conserve power.

The contents are all temporary notes, presumably following the same logic as Wang Guan's approach, which involves periodically organizing them and then transmitting the valuable ones to a locked private micro-robot.

"This is a real treasure!"

Lin Xiufeng saw that it mentioned Yonghe Bone Powder Cultivation, which involved cultivating acupoints on the hands, while Meilin cultivated the Ten Xuan acupoints in the middle of her fingertips.

Currently, the power gathering speed is sufficient. Theoretically, as more and more star caves are encountered along the way in the future, and stronger power can be transmitted, the condensation speed will be even faster.

If you practice with more fingers, you can increase the number of moon-chasing light clusters.

The records also contain a long-term training route map for the Star Cave planned by Meilin, clearly using the pursuit of the moon as the foundation of combat power.

“We can both cultivate Zhuiyue, except for the Shixuan acupoint. We should have cultivated the other acupoints along the path as well.”

Zhao Youyue was very happy to have mastered this unique skill, especially since it could be used even without cultivating the Ten Xuan acupoints, although its power would be much weaker.

"There's also a complete list of all the Heavenly Warriors in the Heavenly Overturning Organization, information on their Heavenly Martial Strength, and guidance on how they cultivate their Star Acupoints!"

He stood up abruptly in a fit of impulsive excitement, leaned close to the projector, widened his eyes, and looked as eager as if he wanted to memorize it all.

Fang Yuan quickly drew and wrote down the projected content. The miniature robot's battery power needed to be conserved, and it would be more appropriate to refer to the notebook when needed in the future.

Zhao Youyue saw in the cultivation guide for the star acupoints that the Heavenly Martial Blade technique was clearly the one used by Lü Zirui.

Meilin's Chasing the Moon is not included.

However, the "Death Point" of the Ten Xuan Acupoints, which is cultivated, does not seem to be able to fly out.

Instead, he concentrates his Heavenly Martial Power in his fingers and uses it as a weapon to attack enemies.

This reminded Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue of a venomous woman.

"It seems that chasing the moon is Meilin's unique skill."

Zhao Youyue understood that Lin Xiufeng could see the flow path of high-concentration Heavenly Martial Power within his body, which allowed him to instantly comprehend and use it.

Simply gathering Heavenly Martial Power at the fingertips is insufficient to create the Moon Chasing Technique, which can be projected outwards and has a unique effect.

Everyone should look at it, remember it, and copy it down.

After recording the important information, I browsed through the rest of the documents.

Fang Yuancai said:

"The true beginning of cultivation is for those who are Heavenly Warriors. According to the cultivation guide materials from the Heaven-Turning Organization, on average, it takes six months to complete one Star Acupoint after using bone powder, and each month requires the infusion of one layer of Heavenly Warrior Power."

Only after facing this data did I truly realize how incredibly lucky Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue were to have broken through and possess thirteen star acupoints!
The value of pure Heavenly Martial Power is equivalent to achieving the effect of at least six levels from the first level!
Not to mention, there's also the huge benefit in terms of time!

Renxing only hoped that her and Fangyuan's luck would improve.

Fang Yuan continued with the summarized information:

"There are 830 acupoints, and it is impossible to cultivate them all. We must choose a direction to cultivate in detail."

"Among them, there are 36 fatal acupoints and 108 vital acupoints. Everyone should cultivate them if conditions permit, in order to improve their ability to withstand blows."

"Each time you cultivate a star acupoint, you must evolve another layer of your body in order to digest the overall imbalance caused when the star acupoint is formed."

"The star point combinations guided by the Heaven-Turning Organization are very fragmented and scattered. There is no combination where six consecutive star points work together. It is evident that the exploration of star points by the Heavenly Warriors is still in the pioneering stage."

Fang Yuan was truly speaking on behalf of Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue.

As they gained a better understanding of star caves, they discovered just how incredibly difficult they were to find!

Not to mention that Dream Continent has only been around for two years, the continents in the coastal branch have only been discovered for six years.

Even those who entered the Heavenly Martial Realm earliest have only been around for a little over ten years, excluding the period of ignorant exploration and pioneering.

Furthermore, the efficiency of bone meal is reduced by at least half before it is applied.

Currently, the person with the most star caves should only have a Heavenly Martial Power of around twenty stars.

Even so, this is still the theoretically most efficient scenario.

Zhao Youyue considered it for a moment, then glanced at Lin Xiufeng and said:

“Cultivating a star acupoint requires using bone powder and infusing it with one layer of Heavenly Martial Power every month. Each evolution consumes one layer of Heavenly Martial Power.”

"My Heavenly Martial Heart has now accumulated to about forty-two layers, which means it's enough for three years of cultivation under normal circumstances?"

"Theoretically, yes." Lin Xiufeng pointed to the Heavenly Warrior's guide materials projected on the screen, specifically the escape technique taught at the end, 'Unstoppable', and reminded him:
"Unless you fight someone and never lose, once you lose, you'll lose a layer of your Heavenly Martial Power in a second, like Lü Zirui who escaped with unstoppable force!"

"Becoming a Celestial Warrior is truly just the beginning. The path of cultivation ahead is so long that it's unimaginable how long it will ever end..."

Zhao Youyue's sentiments were just as Fang Yuan had said, and also as Lin Xiufeng and Renxing had thought.
