(Fourth Update! Additional 17)
Fallen Star Secret Area.
On the fourth floor of the Star Palace.
Ye Xing stopped cultivating and stood up.
Two months had passed. In these two months, Ye Xing had spent all his time cultivating except for sleeping and eating.
In one month, Ye Xing had cultivated the Falling Star Incantation of the middle-grade Spiritual Martial Arts Inheritance to the third level. His cultivation had also recovered to the original point before his cultivation dissipated.
Then, another month had passed. Ye Xing had used up all his Saint Spirit Pills. The Falling Star Incantation had reached the fifth level, and his cultivation had consolidated to the late fourth level of the Star Vortex Realm.
Although he was also a Four-star Martial Saint, the strength of the fifth level of the middle-grade Spiritual Martial Arts Inheritance was much stronger than that of the Pure Yuan Technique. Ye Xing's basic strength had increased by a lot.
It was not easy to cultivate the middle-grade Falling Star Incantation to the fifth level. Martial Saints of the Falling Star Sect usually reached this step after becoming Marquis.
Therefore, the strength of the star essence between Ye Xing and a Seven Star Martial Saint did not depend on the level of the inheritance, but on the difference in cultivation.
Ye Xing came in front of Mr. Tortoise and said, "Mr. Tortoise, I am ready to start the trial on the fourth floor!"
Ye Xing's Dark Spirit Spear Art and Heavenly Bat Steps had already reached the initial level. It was not easy to continue to improve. Instead of spending a lot of time cultivating, it was better to practice in battles. This way, his martial arts attainments would improve faster.
The same principle applied to the cultivation of the Four Symbols Arrow Art!
Ye Xing believed that with his current strength, even if he could not defeat a Seven Star Martial Saint, he should be able to protect himself in front of one. He could use the trial to improve his martial arts attainments.
Mr. Tortoise raised his head and opened his mouth to the side. "Go over there. The trial is about to start!"
Ye Xing walked in the direction Mr. Tortoise had pointed. In front of him, starlight gathered and condensed into a human figure. It was a Seven Star Martial Saint.
The saber in the Seven Star Martial Saint's hand had a very strong aura. It was one level higher than Ye Xing's Purple Feather Spear. It was obviously a middle-grade Spiritual Weapon.
Black Hole Astrology!
A Seven Star Martial Sage was known as a noble and was extremely powerful. Ye Xing was three whole levels away from a Seven Star Martial Sage. He did not dare to underestimate him and used the Black Hole Astrology from the start.
His surroundings instantly turned into a world of darkness. Ye Xing could sense everything in the darkness clearly, as if he was scanning with a superbrain.
However, the scanning range was wider than the superbrain's, and it could scan in all directions without any blind spots.
With the Dark Feather Spear in hand, Ye Xing assumed the stance of the Dark Spirit Spear Art. His feet were also prepared to execute the Heavenly Bat Steps at any time, preparing to deal with the thunderous strike of a Seven Star Martial Saint.
Whoosh —
As soon as the Seven Star Martial Sage appeared, he launched a thunderous attack on Ye Xing. With a slash of his saber, the void instantly split into two halves. The saber light instantly arrived in front of Ye Xing.
The other party's martial arts attainments were also at the Small Success Realm, not much inferior to Ye Xing's Dark Spirit Spear Art. Moreover, it contained a kind of momentum of heaven and earth.
The difference in martial arts attainments was not big, but Ye Xing's cultivation was three levels away, and the strength of his celestial essence was far inferior. It could be imagined that the power of Ye Xing's Dark Spirit Spear Art was not small compared to the other party's saber art.
However, Ye Xing had the Black Hole Astrology. He could see everything in the darkness and clearly knew the strength of the other party's moves, which could make up for the gap between them.
Dark Spirit Spear!
Ye Xing did not dodge the attack of the Seven Star Martial Saint. Instead, he executed the ultimate move of the Dark Spirit Spear Art, intending to test the power of the other party and see how powerful it was.
Clang —
The saber and spear collided, and sparks flew!
Ye Xing suddenly felt the Purple Feather Spear shake. His body seemed to be hit by several fierce horses, and he flew back in an instant.
After flying back more than ten meters, Ye Xing landed on the ground.
Dong dong dong …
Ye Xing took three steps back before he completely resolved this terrifying force and stabilized his body.
Ye Xing finally had a deep understanding of how powerful the attack of a Seven Star Martial Saint was.
Fortunately, he had used the Dark Spirit Spear. This ultimate move was terrifying. It could kill gods and buddhas. However, this time, it did not kill the target, nor did it cause any harm to the Seven Star Martial Saint. In the end, it still made the Seven Star Martial Saint take a step back.
If the Seven Star Martial Saint had not taken a step back, delaying Ye Xing and taking advantage of Ye Xing's retreat, Ye Xing would have been defeated.
The Seven Star Martial Saint condensed by the power of the array had no emotions. His only goal was to defeat Ye Xing. As soon as his body stabilized, he jumped up, held the saber with both hands, and slashed at Ye Xing.
The move looked simple, but this saber was fast and ruthless. Ye Xing would definitely not be able to block it. Even a Noble of the same realm would find it difficult to dodge this saber.
Although Ye Xing was not a Noble, his speed was faster than a Noble.
The Lesser Mastery of the Heavenly Bat Footwork was imbued with the power of the wind. His speed was as fast as a phantom. Furthermore, Ye Xing was well aware of his opponent's attack trajectory. Naturally, he was able to dodge the attack at the critical moment.
A flash of light!
Ye Xing did not escape far. After dodging his opponent's move, he immediately launched a counterattack.
If it were an ordinary Seven Star Martial Saint, Ye Xing's attack would have come so suddenly. He would have been shocked and would have been caught off guard by Ye Xing's attack.
However, the target of the trial was one of the strongest Seven Star Martial Saints. Moreover, he was not a living body and had no fear in his heart. Ye Xing's counterattack did not affect him.
Clang —
The Seven Star Martial Saint's saber was as fast as lightning and easily blocked Ye Xing's attack.
Then, he took advantage of the momentum and slashed down. Bright saber light poured down like a waterfall.
This saber attack was fast and ingenious. Compared to Ye Xing's counterattack, it was even more difficult to guard against.
If it were a Martial Saint whose strength was comparable to Ye Xing's, it was very likely that he would be killed by the target of the trial.
However, Ye Xing was vigilant. When he stabbed out with his spear, he had already thought of an escape route and was prepared. Therefore, when the saber light appeared, Ye Xing used the Heavenly Bat Steps and dodged to the side.
Moreover, Ye Xing could sense everything in the darkness. No matter how fast the opponent's saber attack was, Ye Xing could sense it. The direction in which Ye Xing dodged happened to be the blind spot of the opponent's saber attack. Therefore, it was not difficult to avoid the opponent's attack.
…
You come with a move, I will return with a move!
When the opponent slashed with his saber, Ye Xing immediately retaliated with his spear!
The battle between Ye Xing and the target of the trial was intense. They were locked in a fierce battle.
Although Ye Xing's strength was not as good as the target of the trial, he could always predict the opponent's moves and mysteriously avoid the opponent's attacks.
Moreover, when he attacked, it was always unexpected. It happened to be when the target of the trial was the most difficult to defend against and posed the greatest threat to the target of the trial.
Therefore, Ye Xing did not look like he was going to lose. He was evenly matched with the target of the trial.
If outsiders knew that Ye Xing was actually able to fight evenly with a Seven Star Martial Saint, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
Although Ye Xing could not defeat the target of the trial, he was very happy. His attainments in the Dark Spirit Spear Technique and the Heavenly Bat Steps had improved very quickly in this intense battle.
He believed that he could completely rely on the battle with the target of the trial to cultivate the Dark Spirit Spear Technique and the Heavenly Bat Steps to the Greater Mastery Realm.
On the side, Mr. Tortoise's eyes were wide open as he watched the battle between Ye Xing and the target of the trial. His eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Ye Xing did not attack Mr. Tortoise. Mr. Tortoise was not affected by the Black Hole Astrology. He only saw a dark star above Ye Xing.
However, Mr. Tortoise's knowledge was not ordinary. Although he could not recognize the Black Hole Astrology, he could feel that the Black Hole Astrology was extraordinary.
Ye Xing's Dark Spirit Spear Technique and Heavenly Bat Steps were related to the Dark Attribute. Therefore, under the Black Hole Astrology, Ye Xing's attainments in these two martial arts were increasing. Mr. Tortoise did not find this strange.
However, what he found strange was that Ye Xing was able to predict the opponent's moves every time. Moreover, he was able to determine the weakness of the target of the trial. Every time he attacked, he was always able to achieve the greatest effect.
Therefore, although Ye Xing's strength was clearly inferior to the target of the trial, he was still able to easily fight evenly with the target of the trial.
Mr. Tortoise did not know that Ye Xing's Black Hole Astrology gave him a radar-like perception. Therefore, he was puzzled.
Time passed minute by minute. The battle between Ye Xing and the target of the trial was in a stalemate. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
Ye Xing did not stop the trial. The battle was still intense.
