Free Web NovelChapter 234: Chapter 233: Ice and Fire Kuei Star
The Star Stele was an ancient stone monument that had existed since time immemorial.
Whenever a powerful individual from All Stars Academy condensed a Lifebound Star Mark, this stele would sense it and automatically add them to its list.
Qin Feng slowed his pace, following a few people into the All Stars Academy, only to hear someone else speak with pride.
"Of course it’s true! I saw it with my own eyes. I even went to the Star Stele to get a closer look, and it’s definitely there!"
"So what stars are these two golden ones?" someone couldn’t help but ask, curious.
Many gazes were drawn to their conversation, their eyes landing on the speaker. The young man grew even more smug, lifting his chin and deliberately raising his voice to say,
"As for these two stars, one is ice and the other is fire! The ice one is the king of ice, the Ice Soul Star, and the fire one is the crown of fire, the Vermilion Bird Star! Both are top-tier Kuixing!"
"What? They’re both Kuixing?"
Someone clicked their tongue. "How incredible. Two Kuixing. Among the highest-grade stars, Kuixing are known for their sheer power!"
"By obtaining the power of two Kuixing, one of ice and one of fire, the strength of these two Star Lords will probably take a huge leap!" one person said, their face full of envy.
"It’s more than just that! The potential represented by a golden star is something no other star can compare to. They might even have a chance to vie for the position of an Ancient Main Star!"
An Ancient Main Star could suppress an entire domain. Rumor had it that there were only fourteen Ancient Main Stars in the heavens. Every time one was claimed, one less position became available. Once all fourteen reached Perfection, any other star, no matter how strong, could only be a Vassal Star.
’The Ice Soul Star and the Vermilion Bird Star?’ Far in the distance, listening to their discussion, Qin Feng felt a little strange.
Logically, Qin Feng had also condensed a Lifebound Star Mark.
Moreover, his Lifebound Star was a terrifying Evil Star, which by quality was definitely one of the golden stars. ’...how come the Star Stele hasn’t displayed my Fallen God Star?’
’But if I’m not mistaken, the Star Lords of the Vermilion Bird Star and the Ice Soul Star should be those two. Only they have such talent, putting them ahead of everyone else and enabling them to resonate with golden stars!’
Qin Feng guessed.
"Ice and Fire Kuei Star? I heard that among this year’s new students, quite a few cultivate ice and fire powers, but there probably aren’t many who could condense a Lifebound Star Mark in such a short time!"
A young man’s eyes were filled with thought.
"Actually, there’s no need to guess. It’s not uncommon to see cultivators of ice and fire in this batch of students, but there are only a few standouts. The most stunning practitioner of Fire Attribute Power is undoubtedly Elder Vermilion Bird, Ji Huang’Er, while the Leader of the Ice Element should be that Ice Glacier Celestial Maiden, Lu Qingxue!"
Another person voiced the thoughts of the majority.
"Well said. If there are no surprises, the Star Lord of the Vermilion Bird Star should be Ji Huang’Er, and the other, the Star Lord of the Ice Soul Star, must be the Ice Glacier Celestial Maiden, Lu Qingxue!"
Qin Feng’s gaze flickered. He turned and headed toward the Dharma Transmission Hall.
...
Just as Qin Feng entered the City of Many Stars.
Within a magnificent and opulent mansion in the City of Many Stars, a person in a black robe, their figure hidden in the shadows, was reporting to a beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous gown.
This beautiful woman was tall and slightly curvaceous, with a noble and dignified air. Her lavish attire gave her an unapproachable aura.
If any of the powerful figures from the City of Many Stars were present, they would have surely recognized this beautiful woman’s true identity.
She was the mistress of the Xiao Mansion, the matriarch of the newly rising Xiao Family in the City of Many Stars.
It was precisely this resourceful, tactful, and sharp-minded mistress, whose reputation for beauty was widespread, who had enabled the Xiao Family to reclaim the ancient glory of a thousand-year-old clan from a state of gradual decline and decay.
And under her, it grew stronger by the day, becoming one of the dozen or so top-tier great families in the City of Many Stars!
This stunning mistress was a legend in the City of Many Stars, especially with her exquisite looks and sensuous figure.
The most common rumors circulating in the city today were about this beautiful mistress’s romantic scandals.
In the garden pavilion, Madam Xiao’s beautiful eyes shimmered. Her tall figure and noble temperament made one hesitant to show any disrespect.
As she gazed at the vast Sea of Clouds in the distant sky, golden sunlight cascaded over her stunning, slender frame, accentuating her exceptionally tall and graceful body, making her seem like a Goddess from the heavens. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The person in the black robe remained hidden in the shadows cast by the sun.
"My Lady, Flower Empress, everything is ready. All we need now is a favorable wind!"
The black-robed person cackled strangely. "Flower Empress, if we can succeed in one fell swoop, then you and I will have rendered a great service to the Holy Temple!"
"However, Flower Empress, this matter is no small thing. It concerns both our lives and futures. Are you truly certain about the location of this Hidden Dragon Points Competition? This time, All Stars Academy has selected dozens of regions as potential venues for the competition. Those old geezers at the academy have deliberately created a maze; it’s really not easy to deduce where the competition will actually be held."
"Rest assured. When I make a move, how could I be wrong? However, if we succeed this time, I’m afraid my dozen or so years of work in the City of Many Stars will be all for naught!"
A trace of regret appeared in the beautiful woman’s eyes.
"My Lady, Flower Empress, do not worry. If we can capture all the talented prodigies from All Stars Academy participating in the Hidden Dragon Points Competition in one fell swoop, the Holy Temple will naturally compensate us for our losses."
The person in the black robe gave a sinister smile, licking their dry lips. Their eyes occasionally swept over the beautiful woman, revealing a hidden trace of lust.
With his head lowered, the black-robed man’s ghostly green eyes flickered. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Hmph, I hope so. Otherwise, I am no pushover!" A frosty look appeared on the beautiful woman’s face.
"HEH HEH, rest assured, My Lady, Flower Empress!" A cold sneer flashed in the Yin Emperor’s eyes. He then looked up and said grimly, "But speaking of which, our luck has truly come. The talented prodigies participating in the Hidden Dragon Points Competition this time are the best of any generation. If we can kill them all, All Stars Academy will suffer an unprecedented blow!"
"Yin Emperor, don’t be too optimistic. All Stars Academy is not easy to deal with. We both understand their strength, and behind them are the powerful experts of the Star Sect. If we want to accomplish this, we will need the Elders to take action!"
"But even so, I estimate we can only delay them for seven days at most!"
The Yin Emperor’s green eyes were grim as he cackled strangely. "Seven days is more than enough! They’re just a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears kids. With me leading the charge, I will be sure to slaughter every last one of them!"
The Flower Empress saw the unconcealed lechery in the Yin Emperor’s eyes.
A natural aversion arose in her beautiful eyes, and she thought to herself, ’This Yin Emperor is a true lecherous devil. I absolutely cannot let him handle this alone. If he leads the team, he’s very likely to jeopardize the mission!’
The Flower Empress knew this operation was extraordinary.
The Elders of the Holy Temple not only hoped to kill the elite of All Stars Academy in one strike but also wished to use them to temper some of the Holy Temple’s new-generation experts.
They hoped to use the elites of All Stars Academy as a whetstone to sharpen a batch of true, peerless geniuses.
...
In the afternoon, Qin Feng walked out of the Dharma Hall. Relying on his All Stars Token, after painfully paying one hundred Points and ten Merit Points, Qin Feng successfully obtained the 2nd Layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique" Cultivation Technique.
The first layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique" was free.
But from the second layer onward, one had to pay Points and Merit Points to purchase it.
The price for the 2nd Layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique" was one hundred Points and ten Merit Points.
Qin Feng glanced at the price for the 3rd Layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique": five hundred Points and fifty Merit Points.
And the 4th Layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique" was an astronomical price, requiring two thousand Points and two hundred Merit Points to exchange for.
As for the 5th Layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique," just looking at that string of zeros made Qin Feng a little dizzy.
The price was simply despairingly high!
(This is the first Chapter of the day. The second will be in the afternoon, and the third at night. For now, I’ve temporarily stopped doing five Chapters a day and will stick to three. In the middle of next month, I’ll do a mass release of at least twenty Chapters, I swear on my reputation. I’ll make sure you brothers get your fill! Please vote, add to your library, and donate! Still stuck at 12th place, huh~)
