105: Chapter 105 I Can't Be the Only One to Suffer This Blow

Watching the bursts of starlight emanating from Chen Xing's body, Su He was absolutely certain—this kid had succeeded!

If he had failed, Chen Xing would have inevitably faced rejection, potentially even spitting blood in severe cases. However, this light was extremely stable, as if it had taken root.

Two hours? You've got to be kidding me!

A storm brewed in Su He's mind; she was completely disoriented and in disbelief.

Back then, to master an S-Rank Combat Technique, she had started from lower C-Rank techniques and gradually worked her way up. It took her over a month to succeed, and that speed was already considered among the fastest.

But now, this junior of hers had only spent two hours, and he didn't even need low-end Battle Techniques to assist in neutralizing the power?!

"This has to be fake, right?" Su He muttered to herself.

She had already prepared herself to personally teach Chen Xing for over a month, and now you're telling me he's already done?

What a joke!

"He's not human. He's simply not human; he's an absolute freak!" Su He couldn't help but say.

"What do you mean, freak?" Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes, his expression odd.

"I really find it strange. You, the Chu sisters, and my teacher—why do you all call me that?"

"When Hua Zizai is amazing, they say he's an eternal genius. But when I'm amazing, you all call me a freak. Honestly, do you have some kind of problem with me?"

Su He's lip twitched. He was actually unhappy about being complimented?

"Show me a move." As she spoke, she stood up.

"The Stellar Transformation Art mimics the sun, moon, and stars, seeking outward. The Star-Plucking Art, however, is for plucking the power of the stars and is internal. Make sure you don't mess up the circulation."

Chen Xing formed hand seals, and starlight flowed around him. Power circulated both inside and outside his body.

Su He was shocked. He was just a beginner, yet he could execute them simultaneously, combining internal and external without a single mistake?

Had he really only been Cultivating for two hours?

Watching Chen Xing's movements, which were as smooth as flowing water, Su He fell into a mental storm once again, unable to find peace for a long time.

Su He's lips moved. After a moment's thought, she chose to continue her guidance. "If you combine the internal and external, you can manifest stars. Try it, follow my starry sky map."

Chen Xing followed her instructions. His external power merged, condensing small stars around him.

Mimicking the appearance of his old home, he created a sun and eight planets. Although small in size, they were quite well-formed.

Chen Xing could feel that as long as he was surrounded by stars, a sense of clarity and tranquility would wash over him, making it very suitable for Epiphany and Cultivation.

"No wonder your Concept progressed so quickly; it turns out there's this kind of variation," Chen Xing marveled.

"You're saying *my* progress is fast?" Su He was stunned, then laughed out of sheer exasperation.

This gave her a sense of crisis. With Junior Chen Xing being such a Prodigy, would he catch up to her before long?

How could that be allowed? If others were progressing so rapidly, how could she be willing to fall behind?

Next, Chen Xing tested it further and found that as long as the stars were around him, his defense and strength received a slight boost. This boost would increase as his proficiency grew.

Notably, once the internal and external powers combined, they generated a self-healing ability.

"No wonder Teacher is so hard to kill... I thought it was just that Perfect Seed at work." Chen Xing was lost in thought.

"Compared to you, I'm still far off. Only the power of the Astral Body Refining Art combined with the Perfect Seed allows my recovery efficiency to be a notch above yours," Su He couldn't help but say.

"Come, let me try the Stellar Art." Chen Xing chuckled and immediately stood up.

Hum!

Starlight gathered in his hands. Chen Xing slightly pressed his palms together, and a small, blazing star condensed in the middle.

The immense gravitational pull caught the grass and water, tearing them all to shreds.

Bang!

Chen Xing waved his hand, and the small star smashed forward, but aside from a loud pop, it caused no waves.

Su He popped the star with a gentle tap of her finger, but her heart remained in a state of shock.

"This is his first time using it. Although the star he condensed wasn't large, it was complete—unbelievably complete... Just what kind of monster is he?"

Although she had done it more perfectly her first time, her innate ability was a Stellar Awakening; how could she possibly fail in that area?

Chen Xing, with a Light System ability, had done it just as well. From the perspective of a beginner, Su He could find no fault.

Thinking of this, Su He took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.

"Not bad. This way, you can actually come into contact with [Starlight] ahead of schedule." Su He gave him a deep look.

Chen Xing hummed for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, your stellar-type abilities seem to have something similar. Which ones have you mastered now?"

Su He spread her hands. A planet appeared on the left, a star floated on the right, and there was even a black hole above her head.

Three paths!

Three paths was equivalent to Chu Zhen mastering the Three-Colored Lightning. However, the black hole above Su He's head seemed somewhat tattered and hadn't fully formed.

To this, Su He also said, "I've been trying to find a way lately. It's perfect that you returned the soul nourishing wood; I'm going to go mend the flaws in my Soul. Perhaps I'll succeed then."

Chen Xing nodded. "Then good luck!"

"You continue Cultivating then. If you have any questions, just ask me. Once I go into seclusion, I won't have much time." Su He waved her hand, really not knowing what else there was to teach.

"Alright." Chen Xing sat down again, entering the Enlightenment Space in an instant to comprehend his Cultivation.

"Truly a freakish Prodigy..." Su He glanced back at him before turning to leave.

A short while later, she contacted Ye Jianxing, but she didn't know how to open her mouth to explain the situation.

An S-Rank Combat Technique was mastered by your disciple in just two hours—would you believe me if I said it?

As it turned out, before she could even speak, Ye Jianxing spoke first.

"Thanks for your hard work. Later, I'll lend you my Natal Treasure—the ancient stellar painting—to observe and Cultivate. It can help you condense the black hole path," Ye Jianxing said.

"Venerable One, you already know?" Su He paused.

"I'm well aware of his efficiency. Calculating the time, he should have mastered it by now," Ye Jianxing said bluntly.

"This..." Su He felt ashamed. Being this calm... surely there was something wrong?

But of course, from his initial shock to his current gradual habituation, Ye Jianxing was no longer surprised.

Such a Heaven-Defying comprehension speed was, if not unique in the world, then certainly a rare existence. Anywhere he went, he would be treated like a god.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Su He nodded, borrowing the ancient stellar painting as she left.

Perhaps stimulated by Chen Xing, she secretly clenched her fists and immediately made up her mind to go into secluded Cultivation.

"Mending the Soul, observing the ancient painting... I don't believe I can't master this black hole!"

"Sigh, another one taking a hit. As expected, this kind of thing can't just happen to me. It's better to find more teachers to share the burden."

Watching her departing back, Ye Jianxing smiled and shook his head with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Anyway, I should go Cultivate as well. I wonder when this Ninth Tribulation will arrive. I must reach the Heavenly Position Realm as soon as possible."
