Wu Yingxian was a nine-star Star Master on the silver level, infinitely close to being a gold Star Master. However, due to his age, talent, and resources, he would never have the chance to step into the gold level.
Wuying Xian had accepted it a long time ago. There were only twelve gold Star Masters in the entire human race. Since ancient times, there had never been more than that number of gold Star Masters.
According to the Star Divinity Book, there were only twelve main stars that could make a gold Star Master. To become a gold Star Master, one had to be recognized by one of the twelve main stars. Only when one's natal star was one of the twelve main stars could one have the chance to become a gold Star Master.
Star Masters could be recognized by their natal stars by luck. Actively practicing a certain secret method, one's affinity with specific star power could increase the chance of resonating with the corresponding star. However, it was only a chance. In the end, it still depended on luck.
When Wu Yingxian was young, she didn't think much of the Star Divinity Book. The natal star was very important, but any star could provide endless star power.
For any Star Master, the natal star was like a river. No matter how you used it, it would never dry up. It was your talent and wisdom that limited your progress.
However, after many years of cultivation, Wu Yingxian recognized a cruel reality. Indeed, every star had an endless amount of star power. However, the star power itself had a grade.
The star power provided by the twelve gold main stars was several grades higher than that of other stars. Therefore, after being recognized by the gold main stars, one's cultivation speed would be several times faster than others. Not to mention the corresponding secret method, the efficiency of using the star power was even more terrifying.
As one's cultivation increased, the gap would become bigger and bigger. In the end, there would be a huge gap between the two sides' combat power.
A gold Star Master could easily defeat ten silver Star Masters. The huge gap in strength in such a grade could hardly be made up with quantity.
Therefore, when Wu Yingxian heard that Gao Zhengyang wanted to be the best in the world, she found it very funny. With the dark star power on Gao Zhengyang, he would never be able to reach the gold level in this lifetime.
However, when Gao Zhengyang lunged at her, Wu Yingxian became nervous. Gao Zhengyang had clearly just stepped into the Silver rank, with only a cultivation of 1-2 stars. However, the martial skills he displayed had reached the point of perfection. His every movement was close to perfection.
It looked like a casual pounce, but it was impossible to dodge. In front of the tip of the fist, a faint shadow of a dark tiger condensed.
The projection of the Natal Star was something that even a Black Iron Star Master could do. However, the shadow on Gao Zhengyang's fist was not just a simple star projection. It carried a violent and overbearing aura that could kill everything in its path.
Wu Yingxian's expression changed quickly, and she instinctively tried to avoid the sharpness. However, his experience in battle allowed him to rationally give up on the idea of retreating. He raised his fists and faced the incoming attack head-on.
Gao Zhengyang's martial arts skills were brilliant, but his Star Power cultivation was not high enough. To fight against such an opponent, one had to use strength to defeat weakness.
Wu Yingxian thought that her star power was much higher than Gao Zhengyang's. He wanted to use strength to break technique, strength to break technique.
9-star Silver rank was the pinnacle of cultivation, it wasn't fake. As soon as Wu Yingxian thought of something, the Heavenly Star Wheel deep between his eyebrows began to run. Nine solid silver stars twinkled and rotated at the same time.
Through the nine silver stars on the Heavenly Star Wheel, Wu Yingxian immediately established a resonance with his Natal Star, the Brilliance Immortal Star. Infinite Star Power fell from the starry sky, pushing Wu Yingxian's strength to rise.
Under the resonance of the Natal Star, Wu Yingxian's reaction, speed, agility, perception, and other aspects were instantly improved to an inhuman level.
Gao Zhengyang's ferocious attacks were magnified and slowed down in his eyes. The surging qi and blood tightened Wu Yingxian's skin, and a faint white light appeared. Then, the silver Brilliance Immortal Armor appeared.
The Star Power of the Brilliance Immortal Star was neutral and peaceful, without any special characteristics or special power. But it was exactly this neutrality that made the Brilliance Immortal Star very tolerant. Wu Yingxian could perform many secret methods and martial arts skills of other galaxies.
Wu Yingxian could teach everyone without discrimination in the Daoist Gym precisely because he was proficient in all kinds of secret methods of star power and could teach students according to their aptitudes. Therefore, there were a lot of experts under his tutelage.
The Brilliance Immortal Armor condensed by Wu Yingxian had the same characteristics of his own star power, neutral and heavy. It had no special characteristics, but it also had no weaknesses.
When he punched out, the air was filled with fierce fist whistles. Wu Yingxian actually arrived before Gao Zhengyang, and his fists were already in front of Gao Zhengyang.
If Gao Zhengyang didn't change his move, he would have been hit by his opponent before his tiger fists touched Wu Yingxian.
Ye Xingsha couldn't help but nod. This Uncle Wu's fist technique was plain, but he was extremely experienced. Although Gao Zhengyang looked fierce, he couldn't gain any advantage under such a fist technique.
Given the huge gap in their cultivation of star power, Ye Xingsha felt that Gao Zhengyang would definitely be defeated within ten moves.
It wasn't that Ye Xingsha looked down on Gao Zhengyang, but it was a calm judgment based on the strength of both sides. She was already thinking about how to plead for mercy when Gao Zhengyang was defeated.
After all, Gao Zhengyang saved her life once. She couldn't let him die here. However, Gao Zhengyang had caused so much trouble. How troublesome.
She saved Gao Zhengyang's life this time, so she repaid him for saving her life. They were even now. After this, there was no need for them to meet again.
Ye Xingsha felt that although Gao Zhengyang was quite capable, he was brainless and boasted that he wanted to be the best in the world. Such a person, no matter how strong he was, would soon be beaten to death by others.
Although it was a pity that Gao Zhengyang was so capable, Ye Xingsha felt that it was better to stay away from him.
While Ye Xingsha was thinking, she saw that Gao Zhengyang's body suddenly disappeared. He passed through Wu Yingxian's fists and dashed straight into her arms.
Wu Yingxian hurried to summon her star power, and the Brilliance Immortal Armor shone with a silver light. The intense star power had already protected Wu Yingxian from all directions like an iron wall.
That was the advantage of having strong star power. When necessary, one could directly activate the star power shield to block attacks. The weaker party could only attack by brute force.
Of course, releasing the star power shield in all directions without any blind spots would consume a lot of star power. Although the natal star power was endless, the star master could only use a limited amount.
Normally speaking, the number of stars on the natal star wheel represented how much star power the star master could control. When the starlight on the Cosmic Star Wheel was all gone, it meant that the star master could no longer use star power.
Wu Yingxian thought that she had abundant star power, and it wouldn't be a problem for her to activate the star power shield for two hours. She certainly wouldn't care about the consumption. However, when she activated the star power shield, she would be much slower when she was enshrouded by the star power. It would be difficult for her to perform all kinds of exquisite combat techniques.
In other words, while the star power shield could resist attacks, it was hard to defeat the enemy. Especially in a one-on-one battle like this.
As expected, Gao Zhengyang couldn't break the star power shield. He didn't even test it and simply retreated.
Wu Yingxian crossed his arms, but failed to catch Gao Zhengyang. He was not in a hurry to attack, either. He was even more vigilant after almost suffering a loss just now.
His opponent, Gao Zhengyang, had used the Phantom Skill to its fullest. His body changed between the virtual and the real at will without any warning.
As a matter of fact, when a star master leveled up, they would naturally practice more advanced star power secret skills. Secret skills like the Phantom Skill looked good, but the changes were too simple.
For a star master of the same level, the waves of star power when the Phantom Skill changed were like lights in the dark. It was impossible to see them. Only the low-level star masters could be misled by the Phantom Skill.
Wu Yingxian had seen too many experts, but it was the first time that a star master had practiced the low-level Phantom Skill to such a high level. It was not hard to imagine how talented the guy was.
Compared to Wu Yingxian's prudence, Gao Zhengyang was rather helpless. The level of the Phantom Skill was too low, and so was the level of the star power that he could use.
Wu Yingxian's star power shield, on the other hand, was a rogue combat technique. It was to crush the enemy with the advantage of star power accumulation.
Even if he could break Wu Yingxian's star power shield with a special skill, he couldn't break Wu Yingxian's star armor.
Gao Zhengyang didn't like this kind of combat, which was too unskillful. It was like a round of combat, in which the two sides competed directly in attributes, and other combat techniques were useless.
But this was the special part of the Astral Demon Realm. Its powerful star power rules rejected all external forces. The martial arts that Gao Zhengyang was so proud of had no chance to be used here.
The Dragon King's Halberd and the Blood God Flag were completely forbidden.
Of course, if Gao Zhengyang wasn't afraid of being rejected by the Astral Demon Realm, he could use them by force. But then, he would become an alien in the Astral Demon Realm, and it would be impossible for him to integrate into the Astral Demon Realm.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't very happy, but he wasn't surprised. It was exactly because it was difficult that Emperor Qing found him. If it were easy, Emperor Qing wouldn't have asked him for help.
However, it was already so difficult to deal with a nine-star silver star master. How difficult would it be to get the Star Source that Emperor Qing wanted?
Gao Zhengyang sighed at the thought. Sure enough, it wasn't easy to take advantage of Emperor Qing!
Wu Yingxian, however, thought that Gao Zhengyang was scared. He raised his voice and said, "Your martial arts skills are exquisite, but your cultivation is too weak. You're no match for me. Admit defeat! "
Gao Zhengyang smiled. This guy was really naive, but he might be trying to trick him into giving up resistance to save some energy.
Wu Yingxian said again, "We did have a little conflict, but that's not a big deal. How about this, as long as you acknowledge me as your master, everything will be written off. From now on, we'll be a family. "
Wu Yingxian valued Gao Zhengyang's talent very much. He was much stronger than all of his disciples. If he was accepted as a disciple, he would be a very strong helper.
When they encountered a strong star beast attacking the city again, it would be the best weapon. Besides, he came halfway. He wouldn't feel bad even if he died.
Wu Yingxian thought it through very clearly. Taking Gao Zhengyang as a disciple would be of great benefit and no harm.
"With all due respect …"
Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "You don't deserve to be my master. Not just you, who in the entire universe dares to be my master? "
Wu Yingxian was furious. Although he didn't know what the entire universe was, Gao Zhengyang's refusal couldn't have been more straightforward.
His face darkened. "Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Wu Yingxian was so angry at Gao Zhengyang that he gave up the idea of persuading him. He activated his punches and attacked Gao Zhengyang.
The punches were simple but powerful, and each punch was heavier than the previous one. The whistling wind from the punches had already spread everywhere.
This yard was originally a guest room. There were tables and chairs in the middle of the yard, as well as some flowers and plants for decoration.
Under Wu Yingxian's punches and kicks that were as heavy as axes, the furnishings were all shattered. Gao Zhengyang was also chased around by Wu Yingxian. He seemed to be in great danger.
However, no matter how heavy Wu Yingxian's punches were, he couldn't touch Gao Zhengyang at all. Sometimes, he seemed to be very close, but he just couldn't hurt Gao Zhengyang at all.
Although Wu Yingxian was steady, he was a bit impatient after failing to win after such a long time.
He had thought that Gao Zhengyang's star power was shallow and that he would be exhausted very soon. However, Gao Zhengyang's breath was steady and long, without any tiredness. His body moved quickly, but he was even more agile and fast.
Vaguely, he seemed to be getting stronger as the fight went on.
Wu Yingxian also knew that it was because Gao Zhengyang was getting familiar with the changes of his punches and even his star power. It was easier for him to deal with it.
He, on the other hand, had been fighting with Gao Zhengyang for such a long time, but he couldn't figure out Gao Zhengyang's actual strength. Naturally, he couldn't make targeted attacks.
Wu Yingxian felt that he might lose if the fight dragged on, but he was unwilling to let go of Gao Zhengyang just like that. Therefore, he made up his mind and took out his real killer move.
He threw a few punches in a row and forced Gao Zhengyang to a corner. Right when Gao Zhengyang turned invisible and was about to break through the encirclement of the punches, Wu Yingxian roared, "Explode!"
The Star Wheel deep between Wu Yingxian's eyebrows suddenly stopped functioning. Three of the original nine silver stars on it had been consumed. The remaining six silver stars darted out like six shooting stars under his control.
The six silver stars flew at a high speed. Ye Xingsha, who was watching the fight, only saw the six streaks of silver brilliance flash and disappear into Gao Zhengyang's body.
Then, the six silver lights exploded with a loud bang, and the entire thick wall was completely destroyed. Countless debris and sand splashed out like a long smoke dragon, flying hundreds of meters away.
The attack was so powerful that Ye Xingsha was quite shocked too. Although she was born in a noble family, she had never seen a nine-star silver master fight with his full strength.
Just this strike alone had the power to shatter the earth and shake the heavens.
Wu Yingxian failed to take care of Gao Zhengyang, which made Ye Xingsha somewhat disdainful. She felt that her uncle was not good enough after all. It was not until this attack that she saw Wu Yingxian's true power. She was quite alarmed, and she respected Wu Yingxian even more.
Ye Xingsha felt a bit sad. Gao Zhengyang saved her life after all, and he died just like that without giving her a chance to plead for him.
Thinking about it, she felt sorry for Gao Zhengyang.
Ye Xingsha, who was in low spirits, saw a flash in front of her. Holding Wu Yingxian's neck, Gao Zhengyang walked to her from the flying dust.
"You're not dead …" Ye Xingsha was particularly shocked to see Gao Zhengyang. It was not only because he was not dead, but also because he was holding Wu Yingxian in his hand.
Wu Yingxian, whose neck was being held, twisted his eyes and mouth, as if he had a stroke. His wretched posture was a stark contrast to his majestic and insufferably arrogant appearance just now.
Gao Zhengyang smiled at Ye Xingsha. "Honey, you seem to be surprised that I'm not dead?"
Ye Xingsha was somewhat embarrassed. She was indeed surprised. She looked at Wu Yingxian and hurriedly asked, "Is Uncle Wu alright?"
"He's fine."
Gao Zhengyang's answer reassured Ye Xingsha. Gao Zhengyang, however, said again, "But he'll be in trouble soon."
Ye Xingsha's expression tensed up, and she pleaded, "You were just having a competition. Why do you have to trouble him?"
"Anyone who dares to touch me must die."
Gao Zhengyang looked hesitant. "Do you think we should just drop him to his death, or crush him to death?"
"I beg you, let Uncle Wu go." Ye Xingsha begged pitifully.
Gao Zhengyang sneered. "That's your Uncle Wu. He has nothing to do with me."
Ye Xingsha clenched her teeth and held back her disgust. She squeezed out a smile. "Aren't we husband and wife? For my sake, please let Uncle Wu go. "
"What do you mean by that?"
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Ye Xingsha in disdain. "Wives are responsible for cooking, sleeping with, and giving birth to children. You have no right to speak about family matters. "
"Ah …" Ye Xingsha was stunned. Gao Zhengyang's words were so domineering that she did not know how to refute.
Wu Yingxian, however, woke up at this moment. He was not as naive as Ye Xingsha, who was still talking nonsense with Gao Zhengyang with a straight face. He forced himself to stay awake and said, "Sir, please spare my life. You can state any conditions."
"You're not stupid, old man."
Gao Zhengyang was quite satisfied with Wu Yingxian's reaction. If he did not want to borrow Wu Yingxian's power, he would have crushed him to death long ago. He would not talk nonsense with Ye Xingsha anymore.
"I still lack a housekeeper. Can you do it?" Gao Zhengyang said.
Ye Xingsha was dumbfounded. Gao Zhengyang actually wanted Wu Yingxian to be his housekeeper. This was too much.
To Ye Xingsha's surprise, Wu Yingxian agreed after a brief consideration. "Okay, I'm willing to be your butler."
Wu Yingxian was not young anymore. Because of that, he did not want to die no matter what. Being a butler was humiliating, but it was better than being dead. Moreover, as long as he was alive, he would have a chance to turn the situation around.
Gao Zhengyang was no match for him. She actually wanted to subdue him? He really didn't know how to write the word 'death'.
"Alright, then it's a deal."
Gao Zhengyang put Wu Yingxian down and said to him with a smile, "Butler, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gao Zhengyang said to Wu Yingxian with a smile. Let me make this clear to you first. If you want to court death, I won't be polite, and there won't be a second chance. Do you understand? "
Wuying Xian was embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, he slightly bowed. "Don't worry, Master. I understand."
"Not bad. You have a bright future."
Gao Zhengyang patted Wu Yingxian's shoulder and encouraged him. Then, he turned around and entered the guest room.
Although the yard was in a mess, the guest room was still mostly intact. It did not affect its use.
Wu Yingxian was silent for a while, before he solemnly said to Ye Xingsha, "Please keep what happened today a secret."
Ye Xingsha was a little afraid of Wu Yingxian's gloomy eyes. She hurriedly nodded and promised, "Uncle Wu, I will definitely not say anything."
After a pause, she said, "I'll go persuade Gao Zhengyang again and ask him to cancel this condition." “
