Star Fiend Qi, The Key to Martial Arts Technique Metamorphosis!!

Myriad Star Peak.

The wooden cabin in the back mountains was calm and serene.

After seeing Fang Hong for just two short hours, he had already cultivated the Seven Star Seal Method he had given him to a state of perfection.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Zhao Tianchen was still utterly shocked.

It was simply too unbelievable.

Throughout history, he had never heard of anyone like this.

He probably wouldn't be able to get used to his disciple's monstrous performance for a while.

However, when he thought about Fang Hong going to learn formations from that formation master at Myriad Star Peak soon.

Zhao Tianchen chuckled, stroking his beard.

"In any case, Hong'er being my disciple is a done deal."

"I'm really curious what expression that old fellow will have when he witnesses Hong'er's terrifying comprehension."

"Hmm, it definitely won't be much better than mine was before."

"He'll probably beg Hong'er to become his disciple then, but unfortunately, Hong'er is already my disciple."

Thinking this, Zhao Tianchen chuckled proudly in his heart again.

He could already imagine what kind of expression that old geezer would have when Fang Hong went to study formations there.

"Hong'er, this Seven Star Seal Method is a top-tier martial arts technique."

"But seeing as you've cultivated it to such a profound level, you should have already noticed something, right?"

Zhao Tianchen said with a smile as he watched Fang Hong slowly retract his energy, calming his Blood Essence.

"Indeed," Fang Hong nodded, his expression a little strange.

"I've clearly cultivated this martial art to its highest realm, yet I still feel like its power hasn't been fully unleashed, and there's still room for improvement."

Fang Hong was indeed a bit puzzled.

Both his feelings and the information displayed on his status panel indicated that he had cultivated this martial art to the perfected realm.

Yet, he just felt that its true power was something he couldn't fully unleash right now.

Hearing Fang Hong's words, Zhao Tianchen immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, finally, there's something that stumps you!"

Seeing Zhao Tianchen like this, Fang Hong immediately knew he had done it on purpose.

"Please enlighten me, Master." Fang Hong asked curiously.

Zhao Tianchen stroked his beard, "Because this martial art is actually a technique cultivated in conjunction with Star Fiend Qi."

"You haven't refined any Star Fiend Qi yet, and your Blood Essence hasn't undergone a transformation."

"Naturally, you won't be able to unleash the true power of this martial art."

"Once you refine Star Fiend Qi, even just a trace of it, your Blood Essence will undergo a transformation."

"Only then will this martial art display its true formidable power."

"A casual strike could injure the soul and devour the True Spirit's consciousness!"

"However, even without refining Star Fiend Qi, this martial art is still a high-grade offensive method."

Zhao Tianchen explained with a sense of accomplishment, looking at the curious Fang Hong.

"Huh?!"

"It can injure the soul?!"

Hearing Zhao Tianchen's words, Fang Hong was immediately startled, and then his face was filled with joy.

He was desperately in need of methods to harm the soul right now.

He never expected that the Seven Star Seal Method would undergo such a terrifying transformation in power after refining Star Fiend Qi.

It could directly harm the soul, and even devour the True Spirit and consciousness.

Star Fiend Qi, I must obtain it!

Thinking this, Fang Hong's eyes were filled with fervor.

"Master, about this Star Fiend Qi, you..."

Fang Hong looked at Zhao Tianchen with an extremely expectant expression.

Master, I'm hungry!

Seeing Fang Hong's extremely expectant expression, Zhao Tianchen coughed, looking a little embarrassed.

Crap, I might have shown off a bit too much.

"Uh, kid, don't look at me like that."

"Star Fiend Qi is incredibly precious. It takes many years of condensing starlight to possibly obtain even a trace of it."

"Even within the Star River Sect, it's considered a top-tier treasure."

"While I have some influence, Master, I'm still not quite influential enough to acquire such a treasure for you."

As he spoke, Zhao Tianchen looked towards Fang Hong.

"However, I heard that the first-place winner of this Sect Grand Competition gets to choose one item from the sect's treasury."

"And as far as I know, the sect's treasury happens to contain a strand of Star Fiend Qi."

Zhao Tianchen blinked his eyes. "You understand what I mean, right?"

"In any case, the opportunity is right here. Whether you can actually obtain it in the end is your own business."

Hearing this, Fang Hong's eyebrows shot up. "Understood."

"I will definitely bring home the first place in this Sect Grand Competition for you, Master!"

Fang Hong declared with burning eyes and a firm tone.

I'm going to take first place in this Sect Grand Competition, I swear it!

As I said before, Fang Hong never intended to play the 'hiding his strength' game.

For this Sect Grand Competition, he originally planned to achieve the highest possible ranking.

He wanted to make a splash at this Sect Grand Competition.

Now, with the Star Fiend Qi as a must-have item, his goal has become even more resolute.

I must get first place!

No one can stop me!

It's unavoidable; the Seven Star Seal Method, after refining the Star Fiend Qi, is just too important to him.

Not only will it directly boost his strength by a large margin,

It will also grant him the most crucial means of damaging souls and spirits!

"Good, very spirited!"

Seeing Fang Hong's determined expression, Zhao Tianchen smiled with great satisfaction.

"Alright, you've learned this martial arts technique. After this, head to the Formation Hall on the front mountain and find the Hall Master, Chang Chunbo, to learn the ways of our Myriad Star Lineage's Heavenly Star Array Formation."

"I already spoke with him yesterday. Just go find him when you get there," Zhao Tianchen instructed Fang Hong.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong nodded. "Understood, Master. I'll head to the Formation Hall right away."

Afterward, Fang Hong returned to his room, tidied up, changed his clothes, and then left the wooden cabin.

Zhao Tianchen stood under the eaves, watching Fang Hong's departing back, his gaze deep.

"Hong'er, I'm not forcing you. I just hope you can truly take first place in the competition in half a month."

"If you do, then even if that old 'Big Face Zhong' doesn't want to give up that spot, he'll have to give it to you."

"With that spot, once you reach the Heaven Realm, you'll have a much greater chance of taking another step forward and breaking through the limitations of the Heaven Realm."

"Although the Heaven Realm transcends the mortal world, it's actually just another starting point."

"I wonder if your comprehension will allow you to break the shackles of the Heaven Realm..."
