399: Chapter 399 The Level of Inextricable Slash

The old man smiled and said, "I'll answer your first question first."

"Star-grade martial arts are martial arts that can be used in the starry sky."

"Your current strength and martial arts, even if you enter the starry sky, won't be able to exert much power."

"Could Senior please be a bit clearer?"

The old man nodded slightly and explained, "Let's put it this way: if you enter the Star Lord Realm and fight someone in the starry sky, you won't be able to use much of your abilities and will only be able to rely on your Physical Body to fight the enemy."

"For example, the Movement Technique you use, as well as that strange blade technique."

Saying this, the old man frowned. "However, that Move you used just now when you killed the lizard yao can be used."

"Why?" Xiao Weiqing was very puzzled.

"Because only that Move is a Starry Sky Martial Arts; the others are not."

Xiao Weiqing said, "Senior, are you saying my Mirage Light Thousand Shadows and Formless Shadow Blade are not Starry Sky Martial Artss?"

"Is it because their Rank is too low?"

"You could say that. Starry Sky Martial Artss can be considered Rank 10 martial arts in your Cultivation system, at the very least."

"Rank 10?"

Xiao Weiqing was horrified, his heart suddenly beating faster; this was the first time he had heard of this Rank.

Rank 10 was not recorded on Blue Star; whether in Civilization Ruins or temples, he had never even heard of it.

"Correct."

"In fact, it's not a question of Rank, but more a question of rules. The Incubation Ground has been manually interfered with, resulting in this situation."

"No matter how strong or weak your martial arts are, they can only be manifested in the Incubation Ground. Once you enter the starry sky, they won't be very effective."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, roughly understanding the situation.

Numerical values ultimately cannot beat mechanics—that was probably the gist of it.

"Senior, you just said the Move I used to kill the lizard yao is a Starry Sky Martial Arts?"

"Correct, and it's a very powerful Starry Sky Martial Arts at that. Any Starry Sky Martial Arts involving the Divine Soul is never weak. Do you know any others?"

"Um, there are two Moves in total; there's another Move that's considered a prerequisite Move." Xiao Weiqing's heart stirred, and he kept a secret, not saying that Seamless Slash had three Moves.

Now that he knew Seamless Slash was a Starry Sky Martial Arts, then the third Move might be real and must not be exposed, even if he hadn't learned it yet.

Because he knew very clearly.

The third Move of Seamless Slash—Seamless.

Thinking about it now, whether it was ignoring space or time, it was too terrifying.

Speaking, Xiao Weiqing manifested his thousand flame blade and swung it.

The old man's eyes lit up when he saw it. "Very good, very strong. But it's a bit of a pity; what you learned seems incomplete. There are probably one or two more Moves after it."

Xiao Weiqing smiled inconspicuously. "It's no pity. I'm already very satisfied. I learned it in a dilapidated ruin back then. Thinking about it now, I've made a huge profit."

The old man nodded, a look of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Good, contentment."

"Senior, what about the second question?" Xiao Weiqing looked at the motionless Yellow Sand Warrior beside him.

The old man said, "The Yellow Sand Warrior has no Divine Soul. The growth speed of its martial arts experience is fixed. However, once it learns something, it knows how to use it, and its proficiency is very high because its Comprehension Ability is set to rival the top Geniuses of the Kuhn Civilization."

"So the speed at which I learn Starry Sky Martial Artss must be faster than it?"

"You could say that."

"I understand, Senior."

"Then, let the trial begin. If you are no match, just call for a stop."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Xiao Weiqing raised his blade and slashed at the Yellow Sand Warrior.

Regarding Comprehension Ability, Xiao Weiqing really had no confidence; he couldn't guarantee he would learn a Starry Sky Martial Arts in three days.

However.

What made Xiao Weiqing different from ordinary people was that he was never bound by rules; as long as he didn't violate the rules, achieving his goal was enough.

Now the trial had just begun.

Both Xiao Weiqing and the Yellow Sand Warrior had zero experience points in Starry Sky Martial Artss. He just needed to defeat the Yellow Sand Warrior now.

As for Starry Sky Martial Artss, it would be best if he could learn them, but if not, Xiao Weiqing wouldn't force it.

According to the old man, Starry Sky Martial Artss were more about rules and weren't necessarily much stronger than Blue Star's Innate Skills. Although they were likely stronger, Xiao Weiqing already had Seamless Slash.

The old man had also confirmed the strength of Seamless Slash, so Xiao Weiqing's desire for this Starry Sky Martial Arts had decreased. Right now, the main thing was to pass the trial quickly; there was another dangerous opponent next door competing with him for the Divine Fire.

From the current situation, the competition for the Divine Fire definitely had a much higher priority than this Starry Sky Martial Arts.

Otherwise.

Competing for the Divine Fire would be first, and learning Starry Sky Martial Artss would be second.

Therefore.

After thinking for a moment, the moment the old man said the trial began, Xiao Weiqing acted immediately. His manifestation of the thousand flame blade wasn't random but deliberate.

Facing the Yellow Sand Warrior.

Xiao Weiqing feared that even manifesting the thousand flame blade would slow down his strike speed.

The old man on the side was surprised by Xiao Weiqing's operation, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and shook his head, then disappeared.

Looking back, the Yellow Sand Warrior flipped its palm, and a long blade appeared in its hand, easily blocking Xiao Weiqing's attack.

"Bang!"

The two blades collided in a pure contest of physical strength.

"Hmph~"

Xiao Weiqing let out a muffled groan as the powerful force traveled from the blade to his body, then to his legs, and finally acted on his feet.

His entire foot suddenly sank, plunging into the ground.

The Yellow Sand Warrior was the same, its feet sinking even deeper than Xiao Weiqing's.

However.

Just this was useless. The Yellow Sand Warrior had the same physical strength as Xiao Weiqing, and this level of force couldn't cause effective damage.

For some reason, Xiao Weiqing suddenly blamed himself—why did he make his Physical Body so strong?

His Physical Body was already stronger than an ordinary person's, rivaling the Yao Race, and most importantly, it was a First-Grade Divine Body.

He didn't think further.

Since he had started, Xiao Weiqing wouldn't give up easily.

Next.

His body shifted sideways, flipping the thousand flame blade in his hand. He used his arm to press down on the blade, pushing down hard, intending to disembowel the Yellow Sand Warrior.

Facing the change in Move, the Yellow Sand Warrior was calm and unhurried, stepping back slightly and swinging its blade upward with both hands.

An upward slash broke Xiao Weiqing's attack.

Shaken back a step, Xiao Weiqing flew forward again, holding his blade with both hands and slashing down fiercely.

"Clang!"

"Ding!"

The sound of weapons clashing rang out continuously, becoming more and more rapid.

Unfortunately, none of them were effective.

Such a high-intensity offensive lasted for dozens of slashes, with every slash using full strength.

A minute later.

Xiao Weiqing panted slightly, getting a bit anxious; his offensive techniques really weren't that great.

At this moment, he missed Zhao Jia a bit. Back then, he had learned defensive techniques to a point that, while not supernatural, could definitely be considered Great Master level.

However, his offensive techniques were much worse.

"Damn!"

Xiao Weiqing slashed more and more frantically, and the more anxious he got, the less organized he became. As the saying goes, the first effort is vigorous, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

The Yellow Sand Warrior seized the opportunity and began to counterattack.

Fortunately, Xiao Weiqing's defensive ability was very strong; whether parrying, blocking, or warding off, he did so with ease.

But this wasn't what he wanted.

Because this was just a waste of time.

"Stop."

Xiao Weiqing called a halt.

The Yellow Sand Warrior, just as the old man had said, put away its blade and stopped attacking.
