Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

”Academician, seeing as how things have turned out, you have all seen that my student Xu Jin has now reached second place on the God-Killing Battlefield, so this gamble can be concluded ahead of schedule!

I now ask all Academicians and Vice Director Dong to oversee the results of this wager.

And urge Song Ziyue to deliver the cultivation supplies,” Liu Qingzhu stood up and spoke with a clear and righteous voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone present could only look at Song Ziyue with sympathetic eyes.

A moment of trash talk had led to such a huge loss.

However, being from the affluent Song Family, this loss wasn’t really a problem.

”This...” Vice Academician Han Qing wanted to say something, seemingly aiming to excuse Song Ziyue from his predicament, but upon encountering Dong Zhao’s stern gaze, he abruptly silenced himself.

The records of the Taoist Institute’s Inspection Department had been set, and with the certification of the Four Great Academicians, no one could overturn the agreement.

It simply meant bad luck on Song Ziyue’s part!

Academician Kou Jing, the duty Academician, glanced over the crowd, then finally looked at Song Ziyue, ”Ziyue, a wager is a wager! The cultivation supplies you promised, when do you plan to provide them?

You must at least set a deadline.

Oh, right, the Vice Supervisor has already recorded the matter in the Inspection Department’s archives; you will need to communicate with them about this matter.

Here, my two Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills, I’ll hand them over first, I accept the loss!”

”Lucky for that kid!”

When Kou Jing took out an elixir bottle, he glanced at the other three Academicians, meaning, ”I’ve taken mine out, hurry up and take yours.”

Academician Pan Hong chuckled wryly and began to reach for an elixir bottle; however, Academician Fang Shihan suddenly interjected, ”Hold on!”

”Hmm?”

Everyone turned their attention to Academician Fang Shihan.

Could there still be an unexpected development at this point?

”Vice Director Dong, when you recorded this matter just now, wasn’t the agreement that in half a month, Xu Jin’s ranking on the God-Killing Battlefield has to be in the top three?” asked Academician Fang Shihan.

”Indeed, that’s correct!”

”That settles it then!”

Academician Fang Shihan nodded, ”Xu Jin has just now fought his way into the top three of the God-Killing List, but whether he can stay in the top three in half a month, we’ll only know then!

We should revisit this matter in half a month at Minglun Hall when the ranking of the God-Killing Battlefield will be clear at a glance!”

With these words, Song Ziyue, who had just had a gloomy expression, instantly regained his spirit and sat up straight.

He was endlessly impressed by Academician Fang Shihan.

What a brilliant explanation!

And so reasonable too!

Not forced at all!

Indeed, experience counts for everything!

No wonder he’s an Academician!

”This explanation...is actually acceptable,” Academician Kou Jing said with a smile, then turned to Liu Qingzhu, ”Feiyan, what do you think?”

Liu Feiyan was speechless.

Fang Shihan’s explanation was indeed irrefutable.

Because it was, indeed, previously stated to be after half a month.

But at this moment, Liu Feiyan had immense confidence in her own disciple, Xu Jin.

If Refining Star at the First Layer could reach second place, what about the Third Layer half a month later?

Now, Xu Jin had only engraved one Star Pattern; in half a month, at the least, he could engrave two to three more Star Patterns, greatly boosting his strength; climbing the Heavenly Ascending Stairs for a few more days, perhaps even his Divine Soul could undergo Star Casting.

In half a month, Xu Jin being first was a possibility.

”Let it be half a month then. I have no objections.”

”Good.”

Academician Kou Jing made the final decision, ”Then in half a month, we’ll reconvene at Minglun Hall! But Vice Academician Song, since the matter will be reconsidered in half a month, you must have the cultivation resources from the bet ready regardless of the outcome.

If you win, you take them.

If Vice Academician Liu wins, you must give them to her on the spot.

Can you do that?” Kou Jing asked.

Song Ziyue was about to respond when suddenly, Academician Pan Hong interjected, ”Wow, that kid has already conquered the sixty-eighth level, first place!”

Song Ziyue’s face suddenly turned a bit unsightly.

How come this Xu Jin seemed so strong?

”Vice Academician Song?” Kou Jing pressed.
