Chapter 13: The Art of the Star Pen

Wentian nodded approvingly.

"Ninety-nine-eighty-one hammer, it shouldn't sound very difficult, right?" Wu Xing took it for granted, simulating a few swinging sledgehammer movements, and asked.

Hey!

Wen Tian laughed, and then said: "If it is only the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade Star Monarch grades, it may take you one or two sledgehammers in a day, because you not only have to pick up the hammer, but also have to 'fix' the iron billet; During this period, you can't practice any other exercises at the same time, otherwise all your previous work will be wasted!"

"Manipulating the Star Hammer is achieved through induction, and crafting armor is the way to increase the induction of the Martial Star. The more proficient he is in the control of the star hammer, the more sensitive he is to the subtle changes in the inner body and the outer periphery of the star monarch, and the star monarch who has entered the product can already hear the sound of ants, snakes and insects crawling in a meditative state; the higher the grade, the higher this ability to perceive. The duration of controlling the star hammer and star soldiers is reflected in the spiritual power, which is achieved by cultivating the exercises to light up the stars, and with the consumption of spiritual power, the brightness of the stars will also become dim. Through meditation, you can restore your mental power and accumulate star power, and the speed of this is also related to the practice of meditation. ”

Wu Xing said distressedly: "But, then why can I only see a vague shadow of the star hammer in my inner state?"

Q Tian replied, "That's because half of your spiritual power has been divided and used to cultivate Wenxing in the future, so the brightness is only half." ”

Wu Xing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously muttered, "It's half divided?"

Wen Tian reminded: "The stele spirit is to help the trial students wake up, so I will help you 'share' half of it." ”

Wu Xing was dumbfounded and asked, "If you 'divide' half of your spiritual power, there must be some side effects, right?"

"Eh, it can't be said to be a side effect. Wen Tian waved his hand and said eloquently: "Overall, the advantages must outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"Wen Xing's night cultivation, manipulating the star pen to copy the inscription is a way to improve both induction and mental power; you can simply understand that moving the pen is much less labor-saving than brushing the hammer, so the distribution and consumption of spiritual power can be more balanced and durable. Here, the cultivation time of your Wenxing plus the cultivation time of Wuxing is usually roughly one day, which is a complete cycle of spiritual power; within this cycle, the inductive power will increase in the total amount due to the reason of concurrently cultivating Wenxing, relatively simple cultivation of Wuxing; the increase in spiritual power of cultivating Wenxing will be added to the total amount of spiritual power, and in the next cycle, it will be divided into half to the cultivation of Wuxing and Wenxing; this means that each of your spiritual power cycles will have a double increase in induction and spiritual power in addition to lighting up the stars。 ”

"I can't believe every word you say now. Wu Xing smiled bitterly: "This increase, presumably not too much, right?"

Wentian said calmly: "The increase is indeed not much, and each cycle may only add a 'moment' of duration." But this is an increase based on each mental power cycle, and it is an additional increase. Since you are from Longxi County, you must have played with snowballs, right? Then you should know that in the cold winter, when a pinched snowball rolls down from the top of Mount Mabit, when it reaches the foot of the mountain, I am afraid it will already be a behemoth! The way of civil and martial arts, the combination of rigidity and softness, is actually a snowball cultivation method, the start is a little slow, but the mid-range force, the rear overtake. ”

"Yes, if that snowball can roll smoothly to the foot of the mountain...... Wu Xing spread his hands and said, "But, why should I 'divide' half of my spiritual power to cultivate Wen Xing?"

"Do you know how the inscription on the megalithic tablet was completed? In fact, it was not carved out, but 'attached' with a star pen. You have seen the armor state of the star hammer, the ornamentation on the armor is 'attached' through the star pen of Wenqu Xing, the deeper the 'pen power', the clearer the ornamentation, and then the better the increase effect of the inscription. Seeing Wu Xing's expression that he didn't understand, Wen Tian simply explained: "The use of star power by the star pen is divided into three techniques. The first technique is 'star interpretation', which uses the finger as the pen, and the fingertip condenses the star power as ink, and most of the inscriptions written are single-word inscriptions, such as 'Ding', 'disease', 'trap', 'Cong', 'Ming', and so on. The speed of 'release' is fast, although it is time-sensitive, but it is almost the same as Wu Xing's moves, and to some extent it can even be attacked against Wu Xing! In particular, it is worth mentioning that 'Xing Shi' can add inscriptions such as 'Ding', 'Trap' and so on to the opponent's body or even armor, and at the same time can add the inscriptions of 'disease', 'Cong', 'Ming' and so on to one's own body; under the advantage of one another, it can widen or narrow the gap between one's own side and the opponent. ”

"The second technique is 'star attached', which uses the star pen to show the shape and the star power as the ink, writes the inscription, and attaches it to the armor and even the star hammer, and the effect is reflected in the ornament. The inscriptions on the stele forests on the Starfall Continent and the inscriptions on the ladder are also the embodiment of the technique of 'Star Attachment'. Of course, the 'Star Attachment' can also be used by Wenqu Xingjun for offense and defense, and attached to some special materials, but the speed is slow, and it can only be used under certain conditions. ”

"The third technique, 'Star Thoughts', is that after being promoted to the Star Envoy, you can condense your spiritual power on the Star Pen, and your mind will be smooth without moving. More specific applications include telekinesis and retrieval of objects, mental attacks that turn fiction into reality, and so on. 'Xing Nian' is Wen Xing's unique technique, and without the Xing Pen as a medium, no matter how strong Wu Xing's spiritual power is, even if it is the grade of a first-grade Xingzun, he can't use 'Xing Nian'!"

Wu Xing thought about it carefully, and still pouted a little insincerely: "It sounds like it's worth looking forward to, but once I think that when I cultivate Wen Xing, my spiritual power is also divided by half, and I am really worried that Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey will be able to advance to the sixth rank before I can start cultivating the 'Star Nian' technique." ”

"Then let me start by talking about something that can be used before advancing to the sixth grade. "Ask the Heavenly Tongue Can Lotus and said: "Other Wenxing is the 'Star Attached' of other martial star armor, and there are usually all kinds of inconveniences and concerns, after all, the grade of the star pen and the inscription efficiency of the armor are all the privacy of the star monarch. Wen Xing 'attached' the inscription to Wu Xing's armor through star power, and the efficiency will be weakened to a certain extent. Even Yipinwen Xing has this phenomenon, at most the degree of offset weakening is low. You don't have to worry about it, you can 'attach' it to the armor yourself! You can 'attach' it three times in the inward state before summoning it. ”

Wu Xing's spirit perked up, and he soon understood the meaning of "three times", and asked: "What do you mean is that the grades of the three iron billets of 'fine iron', 'hundred steel', and 'dark iron' are the 'star attached' of unfinished armor once? For example, how many inscriptions can be 'attached'? Because the size of the three grades of the iron billet is gradually reduced, only about two-thirds of the size of the previous grade, and each forging will eliminate the inscription of the previous 'star attached'. ”

Wu Chong pondered for a moment, carefully sorted out the words before asking Tiantian, nodded secretly, and muttered thoughtfully: "I probably understand what you mean by repeatedly emphasizing 'the way of civil and martial arts, the combination of rigidity and softness'. Light up each star to the extreme number of exercises, strive to forge each piece of iron to the highest grade, so as to get the best armor, at the same time, keep the grade of the star pen synchronized, and then strive to have all the armor 'star attached' inscriptions before advancing to the star envoy...... This is equivalent to Xingjun laying a solid foundation for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades before he can build a tall building....... And because of the balance of civil and military, the higher the building is built, the higher it can be, and there is no need to worry about the building, well, there is no need to worry about the building being crooked......"

"In short, it's just sharpening the knife and not chopping wood!" "Wen Tian smiled, commented, and said: "In addition, for example, the cultivation of demon beast crystals, high-grade medicinal herbs, and even some caves and blessed lands is helpful for improving the cultivation of Wenxing and Martial Star." However, these are unattainable and purely personal creations. ”

Wu Xing thought about it very much, and said with a smile: "As Uncle Zheng often says, what you eat in your mouth is your own, don't spend more time thinking about those things that don't have a shadow, it's not suitable for dreaming in broad daylight." ”

Wentian smiled slightly, and a burst of fog disappeared.

Wu Xing looked around, and there was no one around him, and he knew that he had withdrawn from the "dialogue" with Wentian, and was no longer in a state of inward view.

At this time, the sun was rising, and Wu Xing was no longer satisfied with repeating the part that Wen Tian had instructed casually at that time, but added the movement under his feet himself. With his eyes closed, he relied entirely on the grasp of the shift of the center of gravity under his feet, and repeatedly punched, which was a bit of a hypothetical battle. Although in the end, it may just be a futile effort, and there is no substantial assistance to the cultivation of the Nine Star Chain, it just reflects that Wu Xing is an eclectic or conformist teenager.

More than half an hour passed, and Wu Xing's palm suddenly felt an obvious tingling sensation of acupuncture, and he knew that this was a sign of an imminent breakthrough, and he still repeated it over and over again.

Suddenly, everything on the megalithic stele seemed to slow down, Wu Xing opened his eyes in surprise, and could even see a bird skimming over the megalithic stele at a turtle speed, and the bird's shadow was almost engraved on the surface of the stele.

A large amount of star power formed a vortex in front of Wu Xing in the form of fine dust, which was rapidly compressed, and finally formed a fire meteor the size of a mung bean, with a trail of light, which shot directly into his palm, imprinted on the position of the second star of the nine-star chain, which was exactly the same.
