Chapter 59 Striving for Starshine
Chapter 59 Striving for Starshine
Lu Ren also lost control several times, but fortunately, he had a high life force attribute and used Harden in time to avoid hurting himself.
But they were also covered in dust and dirt.
"Wait a minute, old man, why aren't you helping me suppress it?"
"Hehe, you didn't get hurt, did you? Experiencing the feeling of losing control more often will help you regain control."
"Then how will you help suppress Moonshadow?"
"Xiaoyueying's elemental rampage is too powerful. You three, you'd better not expect me to intervene every time. Unless it's a situation where you'll be blown up, I won't intervene. Anyway, this is Shen clan territory, so even if you lose an arm or a leg, it can grow back."
The old man was in the shade by the sidelines, playing with Lu Ren's cat with Xiao Jue, watching the three of them train on the field.
At this moment, among the three, Wang Liuxing was under the greatest pressure.
He knew his great-grandfather very well. His great-grandfather had said he wouldn't intervene, and even if someone was blown to pieces, he wouldn't care. So Wang Liuxing had to be extremely careful, afraid of making a mistake. Therefore, he kept his attention focused and his expression tense as he tried to manipulate the elements.
Wang Liuxing was in the early stages of the Candle Illumination Realm, and his elemental affinity was as high as 120, placing him among the geniuses. However, compared to the two people next to him, he looked like a greenhorn.
It's not that the other two did better than him.
That little girl, whenever the elements went berserk, her grandfather would help suppress them, so the girl became somewhat unrestrained.
The other one, for some reason, would explode several times a minute next to him, treating elemental explosions like firecrackers.
Although the power wasn't very great, it would still have blown him to pieces!
Perhaps, as Grandpa Wang said, only by experiencing loss of control can one gain better control.
"It's a success!"
Lu Ren had never imagined that with high elemental affinity, he could manually create fireballs and lightning without relying on skills, but after understanding the principle, it was actually not difficult to implement.
After experiencing dozens or even hundreds of explosions, when his clothes were almost blown to shreds and his skin was blackened, a fireball the size of a basketball condensed in his palm.
He felt a surge of excitement. Although he had long accepted supernatural powers, the ability to conjure fireballs with his bare hands was simply amazing!
"Go, Fireball! Hoo-ho!"
The orange-red fireball was thrown more than twenty meters away before it fell listlessly to the ground.
It explodes upon contact, but its power is only equivalent to a small hand grenade, and its range is also disappointing.
But Lu Ren was very satisfied.
To achieve this level in just one day, Lu Ren felt like a genius. With more training, he was sure he could pass the old man's assessment a week later.
He looked at the little guy on the sidelines and asked, "How's Xiao Jue? Isn't your big brother handsome?"
"So handsome! Big brother is super handsome!"
However, at that moment, Jiang Yueying shouted:
"Behold my Exploding Flame Divine Fire Technique, hoah—"
A pillar of flame as thick as a bucket shot out beside him, the hot wind it generated causing Lu Ren to take a step back, the orange-red flames illuminating his face.
Lu Ren: "..." Blazing Divine Fire Technique? What is that? What a cringeworthy name.
After Jiang Yueying lost control of her elements for the third time, Old Master Wang did not make any further moves, but she was not injured by her own explosion. This means that the little one only lost control three times and managed to manipulate the elements without relying on skills.
"boom--"
A pillar of flame, as thick as a water bucket, shot out over a hundred meters and blasted the target to pieces!
Looking at the silent Lu Ren, Jiang Yueying couldn't resist a sarcastic remark, revealing her sinister smile as she sneered, "Hmph, hmph, you get a little bit of success and you become arrogant and complacent. That's exactly the kind of person I'm talking about."
"Hehehe, young people these days are so hot-tempered."
The old man chuckled and said, "Little Moon Shadow's elemental affinity is too high, which is actually detrimental to this training. Why don't you put on the Spirit Locking Ring and suppress her elemental affinity to one-tenth before training?"
Jiang Yueying nodded obediently. After putting on the Spirit Locking Ring, her elemental affinity was limited to a level comparable to Lu Ren's.
This means that if she wants to break through that target, she can't rely on pure numbers, but needs more precise control.
However, a minute later, Jiang Yueying unleashed another burst of flames.
"Whoosh—"
This time, the flames were no longer as thick as a bucket, but as thick as an arm and as thin as a pipe.
Logically speaking, such powerful flames should not be able to reach a distance of more than 100 meters. However, Jiang Yueying manipulated the flames to meander and spiral, leaving a double-helix burning trajectory in the air, thereby increasing the flames' endurance and propelling them more than 100 meters again.
They blew that target apart again!
This time, not only Lu Ren and Wang Liuxing were stunned, but even the old man was a little taken aback. After a long while, he chuckled and said:
"Heh heh, there's nothing we can do about encountering such a genius."
Jiang Yueying is indeed a genius in the art of magic, Lu Ren has never denied it, but he feels that this kind of training is unlikely to be effective for Jiang Yueying.
I really should get a few dogs to chase after her.
It was almost time, so Lu Ren grabbed her hand. "Let's go, it's time to eat."
"Huh?!" Jiang Yuexiang was like a little puppy, being led away by him, unable to pull her hand back.
"Hands, hands, hands..."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Her hand was released, and Jiang Yueying secretly glanced at him, but he didn't seem to have any other intentions. Her face turned slightly bitter.
That's not right. In this situation, the boy should be flustered and apologize. What Lu Ren did was wrong.
It wasn't that she had any feelings for Lu Ren, but the fact that reality was different from what she had imagined was causing her great distress.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to~"
"What are you doing? Suddenly you're putting on an act!"
"You look like you want to hear me say something like that."
Jiang Yueying's face became even more unpleasant, her little face puffed up with anger. This person knew her too well, how annoying!
"So childish, so incredibly naive."
"Little Moon Shadow, why don't you try to win me over? Just give me money and food, and you can increase my affection level."
"Those pay-to-win otome games are the most, the most annoying..."
Before she could finish speaking, they heard someone calling them. Looking up, they saw Ji Liguang and the others.
Ji Liguang asked casually, "Oh, you're a young couple? How was training today?"
An Yourong told Lu Youhe that Jiang Yueying was her brother's girlfriend, and later Lu Youhe told Ji Liguang and the young lady.
Although Lu Ren had explained, she was still often teased about it, and Jiang Yueying could only laugh it off and remain silent.
Although she had only known her for a little over a week, she already knew her very well. This golden retriever had a terrible personality; the more flustered she was in explaining herself, the more she would bully her.

For a typical working professional, the time available for exercise each day is limited.
For example, if a warrior does physical training for several hours today, he will generally reach the limit of his training for that day.
But Lu Ren is different. He can do physical training for several hours, maximizing his physical training time, and then he goes on to practice magic and divine cultivation.
The 'experience' gained in other subjects can increase all attributes together.
This means that he has three times the amount of time he can spend practicing each day compared to other professionals!
He trains relentlessly, as long as he doesn't die... He trains for about 8 to 10 hours a day now.
I broke through to the Candle Illumination Realm at the end of July, and at the current pace, I expect to enter the bottleneck period in early September.
Conservatively speaking, we will enter the realm of "Sparkling Fire" within 4 months; more aggressively, we will enter it before November.
One month of illumination, three months of firewood – that's like riding a rocket!
There is an invisible lock in the bottleneck period. You need to find the lock through training or combat, and then break it to break through.
The most difficult part was finding this lock. When Lu Ren broke through from the Firefly Realm to the Candle Illumination Realm, he relied entirely on brute force. At that time, he had a feeling that he was being blocked by something. Now that he thinks about it, that was his lock.
After sensing the lock, he immediately ate several spirit bones in one go, thinking that either the lock would crack or he would crack.
In the end, he won his gamble.
However, that promotion was a mess and didn't provide him with any experience.
I hope I really am a genius. If I can break through to the Fire Spirit Realm before November, I will be more confident in entering the Star Cocoon Realm next June.
Once he advances to the Star Glory level, the numerical issues will no longer exist. With over 6 points in 9 attributes, there will be no doubt that he can lead Shen Yaoxing to victory. All the prodigies in the country will have to call him a prodigy.
Throughout the past three hundred years, no prodigy has ever broken through the Star Cocoon Realm at around the age of 18.
That's not just a prodigy, that's a cheat code.
Three hundred years ago, in that era of war and strife, a few overpowered individuals emerged amidst the great waves that washed away heroes.
If a once-in-three-hundred-years cheat code really appears this year... that's just too eccentric, then what else is there to say, the championship is yours.
