Chi You and his son Chi Meng had the same two Star Patterns within their Star Cores, but the last one varied for each.
Xu Jin switched between them one by one, utilizing his Star Power to experiment, and quickly saw results.
The Blast Flame Star Pattern was an entirely new Star Skill. Similar to a fireball, it would explode.
Its firing speed was slightly slower than the Star Arrow, with a similar range, but its power was significantly greater. Moreover, after exploding, it caused area damage, adding another area-effect Star Skill.
The Flame Flower Star Pattern was also a brand-new Star Skill, precisely the one Chi Meng used to attack. Once deployed, flame flowers could bloom on the ground or in the air, capable of both injuring and entrapping people, thus proving practical.
The Fire Transformation Star Pattern was simpler.
With an enhancement, it could attach fire to a Star Weapon or directly form various flame weapons like the Flame Blade, Flame Sword, and Flame Spear. However, Xu Jin felt that this Star Skill was best suited for archers.
After learning this Star Skill, one could directly condense long fire arrows, eliminating the need to carry a cumbersome quiver, and significantly increasing its power.
Its practicality was also notable.
The only thing he hadn’t figured out was this Initial Tier Fire Origin.
Because this Initial Tier Fire Origin was a passive Star Pattern, it also changed all of Xu Jin’s Star Skills.
After receiving the shelter of the Initial Tier Fire Origin, the Star Radiance Xu Jin released would turn into Fire Star Radiance, and the Star Arrow would become Fire Star Arrow. Even the Star Rope would be covered in flames, greatly increasing its lethality.
The first time he executed the Flying Star Step, he wasn’t very good at it, and fire burst from underneath his feet, nearly setting his clothes ablaze.
Xu Jin had little understanding of Star Skills beyond the Third Tier.
If that was the case, did that mean learning similar Star Patterns would grant the corresponding basic Star Skills?
For example, if you learned the Water Source Star Pattern, would all your Star Skills turn into Water Series Star Skills?
If you learned the Thunder Origin Star Pattern, would all your Star Skills turn into Thunder Series Star Skills?
These were all Xu Jin’s speculations. Everything would become clear once he arrived at the National Taoist Institute.
At the National Taoist Institute, not only would there be teachers, but more importantly, there was a very large library that would allow Xu Jin to quickly understand a lot of basic knowledge of the present world.
Besides, Xu Jin made another unexpected discovery.
If two Third-tier Upper Fire Spirit Star Cores were offered in worship and their Initial Tier Fire Origin shelter was obtained simultaneously, the power of these two shelters would stack.
Xu Jin discovered this unintentionally.
He found that when he obtained the protection of two Initial Tier Fire Origins simultaneously, the power of his Fire Series Star Skills soared.
Even the explosion range of his Fire Star Radiance significantly increased.
This provoked Xu Jin’s contemplation.
In the future, couldn’t he offer multiple Fire Spirit Star Cores at the same time to stack their power?
Under that circumstance, wouldn’t the power of the Fire Series or other series of Star Skills he deployed be immensely powerful?
If calculated this way, then the most valuable gain from this trip to the Fire Radiant Star Domain was these two Third-tier Upper Fire Spirit Star Cores.
After testing, Xu Jin started refining Star Patterns within the Star Lamp.
He had long mastered the Rain Curtain Star Pattern and the Whale Swallow Star Pattern, just hadn’t had the time to refine Star or a slot to engrave.
But for the three Divine Soul Star Patterns he currently had, whether it was the Fourth Tier Lower Warm Dream, the Sixth Tier Lower Breaking Evil, or the Sixth Tier Middle Suppressing Intent, as long as he mastered them, he could immediately engrave them onto the Divine Soul Star, where currently there were plenty of empty slots.
In the afternoon, Xu Jin went to the Jinshan Taoist Institute on time.
The institute instantly erupted in excitement, with cheers for the senior brother resounding.
People like Wang Weisheng, Zhang Han, Zhang Ming, Lu Xianbing, and Yue Daqi had already reported to the National Taoist Institute seven or eight days ago, but Xu Jin hadn’t been seen.
Now that Xu Jin had appeared, his junior brothers were especially thrilled.
Qian Xiaohu, Yu Guan, Fang Zixing, Qiao Ruonan, and others were so excited that they surrounded Xu Jin tightly for a good while before dispersing and allowing Xu Jin to come to see Mountain Master Dong Zhao.
Xu Jin wondered what important matter the Mountain Master had to discuss with him.
