Chapter 7 Nine Stars in a Moment!
If Jiang Chu was really just a slave of the Wei family, Wei Yuan could not refuse such a request. Unfortunately, Jiang Chu's stay or not was not something Wei Yuan could control. A hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and Wei Yuan quickly adjusted his emotions.
"Sorry, Mr. Lin, Jiang Chu is my friend and is not a servant of the Wei family."
There is no doubt that this answer greatly exceeded Lin Bin's expectations, and for a moment, he was a little lost.
There are many rumors about Jiang Chu these days, and the news was proven by the people of the Zhang family, but now it suddenly became like this, which made Lin Bin feel a little embarrassed. In a moment, a trace of sinisterness flashed in Lin Bin's eyes and fell on the Zhang family's people.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Bin again.
"So, he has nothing to do with the Wei family?" His eyes were a little cold, and Lin Bin spoke again, and in one sentence, his murderous intent was revealed.
Wei Yuan, who has five-star perception, is currently unwilling to provoke him too much, but he is not afraid of Jiang Chu. If such an arrogant boy doesn’t teach him a lesson, wouldn’t it make people laugh at him as Lin Bin for being weak and bullied?
The hand holding the sword tightened, but Jiang Chu still didn't answer and walked silently towards the star monument.
"Why, do you want to pass the test to suppress me?" Seeing Jiang Chu's reaction, Lin Bin smiled disdainfully, but did not stop Jiang Chu. "Do you think you can also have five-star star power perception?"
Having star power is nothing. Even if Jiang Chu meets the requirements of the Star Palace and has three-star perception, Lin Bin doesn't care. Unless he thinks of Wei Yuan, who has more than five-star perception, can he be qualified to get the Star Palace to pay attention with such talent.
Unlike Lin Bin, Wei Yuan's heart was slightly tightened. She still clearly remembered that Jiang Chu had said before that he could not condense the star power. If what Jiang Chu said was true, then what's the point of testing now?
Jiang Chu himself has no fame and will not attract any attention. However, many people can see the dispute between Lin Bin and him clearly. In this case, after being tested, it undoubtedly absorbed everyone's attention and naturally gave Jiang Chu a way out.
The deacon in the Star Palace was still sitting quietly in front of the Star Monument, with no change in his expression. Even people like Wei Yuan and Lin Bin who have the ability to perceive the five elements would at most let him take a look. As for whom they conflicted with, whether they were using this to be angry, it was not important.
"Put your hand on the star monument and sense the star power. You have ten breaths." A formulaic instruction was given. The deacon of the Star Palace picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, and glanced at Jiang Chu lightly.
The fair hands, pressed on the star monument, look extremely dazzling, but with a bit of peculiar charm.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths!
There was still no change on the star monument. The dark gem seemed to grin and sneer Jiang Chu's ignorance, just like Lin Bin's disdainful face.
Until... Jiang Chu closed his eyes.
His eyes closed slightly, as if he didn't care about everything around him. His fair hands gently slapped the star monument. However, at the moment when he closed his eyes, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. Jiang Chu's clothes were windless, and the bamboo sword on his waist trembled slightly. The originally dead gem suddenly bloomed, and the twinkling starlight passed through all obstacles, and the eyes of everyone around him stinged.
In just one breath, nine gems on the Star Monument bloomed neatly, and the Star Monument seemed to come alive in an instant, revealing a heart-wrenching aura. In addition to Jiang Chu and the deacons in the Star Palace, everyone present could not help but feel a moment of loss of consciousness, and even more unbearable. They unconsciously withdrew several steps and were covered in cold sweat.
Nine Stars!
In an instant, the whole audience was silent, and no one seemed to accept such a result!
Since the Star Monument stood here, no one in Jingzhou has ever been able to make the Star Monument illuminate nine stars, and all this ended in the hands of an ordinary boy in front of him. There is no doubt that this is a terrible record, and even for many years to come, no one will be able to break the record.
However, the flickering nine stars only existed for a moment, and before everyone could even take a look, it became darker again, as if none of this had happened at all.
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Chu's face was a little pale, just like his fair hand, with a hint of self-deprecation that was difficult to distinguish at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly withdrew his hand. As for the time being, the time had not yet reached the prescribed ten breaths, Jiang Chu didn't care at all. He just turned to the deacon in the Star Palace calmly, "Is this a passing?"
A brief silence suddenly broke out under Jiang Chu's words.
The crowd was like crazy, rushing forward desperately just to get closer and see what this genius with the perception of the nine-star power is like.
Jiuxing, these two simple words have infinite charm, making people breathe heavier.
In contrast, Lin Bin's face turned pale in an instant. Even if he was in his identity, offending a genius with nine-star perception was definitely a very troublesome thing. If he couldn't say it in the end, he had to bow his head to the other party. This made him feel very embarrassed, but in this case, he couldn't even say a word.
A trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and the deacon in the Star Palace could no longer hold back, and grabbed Jiang Chu's hand, "Why is it suddenly interrupted? The time is too short, this is the perception of the Nine Stars."
But the next moment, the face of the deacon in the Star Palace suddenly became strange, because after a moment of excitement, he clearly sensed that Jiang Chu had no star power on his body, even if it was not a single star. This was not in line with common sense.
A person with nine-star perception cannot be without any star power even if he does not concentrate on condensing star power. However, the nine-star flashing star monument before is absolutely impossible to do.
"Because, I can only let it light up for a moment." Jiang Chu replied lightly without hesitation without caring about the eyes of others, nor even the attitude of the deacon in the Star Palace.
"Only let it light up for a moment?" Chewing on the meaning of these words, the deacon of the Star Palace became more and more serious. A blue starlight suddenly lit up at his fingertips, exploring the star power into Jiang Chu's body.
This strange situation can only be confirmed by personally sensing Jiang Chu's body with the power of the star, so he did this and was simply and neat. In a moment, the deacon of the Star Palace became more and more ugly. He let go of his hand, and then sighed for a long time, with a hint of unbearable expression in his eyes, "What a pity, it's such a pity."
Everyone was completely confused about the meaning of it, but Jiang Chu knew it very well.
Judging from the reaction of the star monument just now, there is no doubt that I have excellent star power perception, but even with such excellent star power perception, I cannot condense star power at all.
"Master Lan, what's going on? Could it be that he cheated?" Lin Bin instinctively noticed a trace of strangeness, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Cheating?" He sneered, and the deacon in the Star Palace snorted disdainfully, "Before the Star Monument, you can cheat and show me."
Although Lin Bin is the youngest son of the lord of Jingzhou, as the deacon of the Star Palace, Hailan still doesn't have to give him any face.
"Master Lan, have I passed the test?" Jiang Chu spoke calmly again ignoring Lin Bin's doubts. Such a result was expected, and Jiang Chu was naturally not surprised.
Looking at Jiang Chu, he wanted to speak but stopped. After a long time, Hailan slowly spoke, "Little guy, I can understand your mood, but I must tell you that you cannot condense the star power. No matter how good your star power perception is, you cannot condense the star power and enter the star realm."
Wow!
As soon as these words were said, the audience was in an uproar. No one understood what happened. Judging from Hailan's appearance, Jiang Chu did not seem to have cheated. However, with the perception of the star power of Jiuxing, how could it be impossible for such a terrifying talent to condense the star power? Logically speaking, it should be possible to easily enter the star realm.
As if in order to help everyone relieve their doubts, Hailan continued, "Testing is meaningless to you, because your starry sea is completely blocked."
The starry sea is blocked!
The four simple words suddenly explained everything clearly. Everyone present was very clear about the meaning of these four words.
Star Sea, this is the root of practicing star power. If the star sea is blocked, the star power cannot be kept in the body, and naturally it is even more impossible to practice. Even if you have the perception of nine stars, you cannot change this fact.
If you have to make a metaphor, then Jiang Chu is like a funnel. No matter how big the funnel is, it is destined to not allow water to remain in the funnel.
In an instant, Wei Yuan's eyes became extremely complicated. It was not until this moment that she understood what Jiang Chu said before, "not condensing star power."
Although Jiang Chu was very calm, this was undoubtedly a fatal flaw. No matter how terrifying the sword skills Jiang Chu had and was unable to condense the star power, he was destined to be unable to become a real strong man, and there was no hope at all.
Take a quick turn, it is tantamount to the pain from heaven to hell.
Everyone thought Jiang Chu should be very disappointed, even desperate.
However, Jiang Chu simply said three words, three words that were at a loss.
"I know."
Yes, Jiang Chu knew this very well from the beginning. Now Hailan pointed it out, just to make him confirm his own speculation.
After pausing, Jiang Chu continued, "I just want to know if this is considered passing the test?"
Jiang Chu seemed very stubborn, but his expression was very serious, and he seemed to have not been hit by such a result at all.
"Your name is Jiang Chu, right?" Looking at Jiang Chu's persistent gaze, Hai Lan said in a deep voice, "If you want, I can give you a token that can make the star monument light up to three stars. Even if it is just a moment, you are qualified to participate in the Star Inheritance. However, you must understand that even the Star Inheritance cannot change your state. The blocked star sea will only help you open up unless the legendary Star-breaking Realm powerhouse takes action... But, there are no such strong people in Jingzhou."
If you want to practice star power, you must open up the star sea, but no one can help Jiang Chu open up the star sea.
For Jingzhou, the strong man in the Star-breaking Realm is just a distant legend, and no one has even seen a strong man in that realm. What's more, even if there are small people like Jiang Chu, what qualifications do you have to let others help him open up the Star Sea?
"I know." Jiang Chu shook his head slightly and said softly, "But I want to try, there will always be miracles in this world."
Jiang Chu's voice was very light, but very serious, even with a kind of confidence that Hai Lan could not understand, as if the blocked starry sea was just a small trouble that could be solved very quickly for him.
