Chapter 164 - 126 Star Force
Chapter 164: Chapter 126 Star ForceJi Xinghuo immediately felt the effect of the Star Force; his own Star Power had changed!
Before the implantation of the "Star Gland" to become a Super Mutant, a Mutant’s Star Power would wander freely within the body, evenly dispersed, and could only be slightly mobilized under the most concentrated conditions to flow to the desired location, but the efficiency was slow.
Now, as soon as Ji Xinghuo had a thought, his Star Power immediately obeyed, operating according to his own will.
Aggregation, dispersal;
Acceleration, deceleration;
Flowing, vibrating!
He had complete control over each strand of Star Power, as easy to use as his own limbs, as if infusing Star Power with a whole new vitality. Although the energy density of the Star Power hadn’t changed, by manipulating the way it was conducted, many effects that were previously impossible to achieve could be reached.
The most common application was the various "Forces."
Ji Xinghuo entered the Martial Arts Arena and stood in the middle, accelerated the Star Power within his body, gathering it in his right arm, and threw a punch.
Boom!
The air was compressed and exploded with a dull thud from his punch.
Ji Xinghuo threw another punch, this time without mobilizing Star Power to assist with the force, and the power was clearly less.
"It really is different!"
"This is still without me mastering the technique of exerting force, truly developing Star Force."
"Let’s try Inch Force first."
In the past, Ji Xinghuo had watched instructional videos on Star Force, and for most Martial Arts masters, the first lesson was to use Inch Force as a basic technique.
Following the re
He cast aside his wild thoughts, his expression returning to one of calm, and began practicing Inch Force one punch after another, with continuous bursts of sound in the Martial Arts Arena.
Pop pop pop pop...
Among the series of urgent, crisp sounds, Ji Xinghuo’s fists swung, creating afterimages.
Each punch contained Inch Force, smooth and natural, without any roughness, as if he had practiced hard for many years.
Ji Xinghuo stopped and stood still, drenched in sweat.
His Star Power was completely depleted, but he felt very satisfied. The effect of Microscopic Perception was better than he had imagined; he had mastered Inch Force in less than an hour.
Beyond mastery lies "Extreme Intent."
This required more training. Typically, a Martial Artist would need to practice for over a decade, or even most of their lifetime, to master just one Star Force technique to the Ultimate Intent Realm.
Ji Xinghuo estimated that he would reach the Ultimate Intent in Inch Force within a week of practice.
During his rest, he opened the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil and took a glance.
"The progress has increased so fast?"
Ji Xinghuo was quite surprised; in just tens of minutes, the Star Force technique he had just fused had progressed to (First Level 5/67).
This was the fastest-evolving Ability he had that didn’t require an investment of Spiritual Origin Ability.
At this rate, he would only need to practice Star Force for a day or two to advance it to the Second Level.
He had over 400 points of Spiritual Origin Ability remaining, which was leftover from hunting members of the Beiluo Shimen Clan at the Sword Valley Fortress and upgrading the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand and Ether Affinity abilities.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to invest Spiritual Origin Ability and upgrade his Star Force to the Second Level.
He mainly wanted to see what differences there would be at the Second Level of Star Force.
Quickly, his Star Force changed to (Second Level 1/307).
When his Star Power was mostly restored, Ji Xinghuo continued to practice Inch Force and immediately felt the difference; his Star Power activated faster, his control became more delicate, and the strength and power of his strikes also improved. He immediately invested the rest of his Spiritual Origin Ability, raising his Star Force to (Third Level 1/1567).
At Third Level Star Force, the operation speed, efficiency, and power increased again, nearly double that of the First Level.
Ji Xinghuo was completely immersed in the practice of Star Force.
Every day, he spent half his time on cultivation and the other half on practicing Star Force, with his Star Power growing steadily and his Star Force improving rapidly.
After several days, the most basic Inch Force reached the Ultimate Intent Realm!
At this realm, not only could his fists produce Inch Force, but also his arms, legs, and back, and even a headbutt could unleash an Inch Force-infused blow.
However, the Inch Force had a short range, which limited its application.
It was most commonly used in unarmed combat; next, the Inch Force could be transferred to blunt weapons, like a warhammer or a long stick, to achieve the effect of Inch Force.
But for bladed weapons like swords, Inch Force was almost useless.
Ji Xinghuo then turned to practicing other Star Force techniques.
Cannon Force for instantaneous explosive power, Iron Shirt Force for defensive impact, and Flying Swallow Force for increasing movement speed—these were relatively common Star Force techniques.
There were also many sophisticated Star Force techniques that Ji Xinghuo had only heard of and did not know the methods to practice.
Some Star Force techniques required an extremely robust Star Power.
Others demanded a higher level of Star Force.
For the moment, Ji Xinghuo did not meet these requirements, so he could only practice a few conventional Star Force techniques. Only after practicing nearly ten kinds of Star Force to the Ultimate Intent Realm did he leave to go to the Martial Arts Hall in Olympia, hoping to pay for lessons to learn some more advanced Star Force techniques.
However, most Martial Artists refused, unwilling to pass on their knowledge.
The Star Force techniques that were offered weren’t particularly advanced, their functions duplicative, and Ji Xinghuo mastered them within a day or two.
Time passed without him realizing it; the Dying Moon ended, and Quiet Moon began.
The weather in the Star Realm gradually cooled down.
Ji Xinghuo was so engrossed in cultivation and Star Force that he seemed to forget the passage of time.
Then one day, as his Star Power was restored to full after a single use, the number jumped to 541/541, and he felt a sensation within his body; he was about to trigger his third life evolution and ascend to being an Advanced Mutant!
