Chapter 1989
As a peak Star Realm expert.
Tarot's perception far surpasses that of Moonshadow and Blue Feather, who are beginner-level Star Realm cultivators.
Yueying and the others could only vaguely sense that Xu Jingming's aura was deep and his sense of oppression was extremely strong.
However, it is impossible to accurately determine its level or realm.
However, in Tarot's eyes, the intensity of the elemental energy flowing around Xu Jingming clearly indicated that his level was Star Rank 6.
But for Yueying and her group, it was like a bolt from the blue!
Lan Yu, Yan Ji, Bess, and the others standing nearby immediately widened their eyes and stared at Xu Jingming.
Yueying's stunningly beautiful face was filled with astonishment as she exclaimed in shock:
"Jingming, are you really a sixth-level Star Realm cultivator?"
"I just told you, but you didn't believe me."
Xu Jingming shrugged helplessly.
"I......"
Moon Shadow was speechless for a moment, and then fell into a deep silence.
This is a Star Rank item!
Breakthrough in four levels in two months.
No one would believe that!
And who knew you'd actually do it!
By this time, Tarot had recovered from his initial shock.
After all, he came from the royal family of the Eta tribe and was well-informed, so he quickly thought of a certain possibility.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed:
"I remember you were the genius Zhan Tianjiao who entered the academy with Princess Yueying, right?"
"Such a rapid breakthrough, could it be that you used some kind of rare and precious treasure?"
"That's it."
Xu Jingming remained calm, neither denying nor explaining in detail, simply stating his position.
Using rare and precious materials as a pretext for rapid breakthroughs was a plan he had long ago devised.
The tarot's question was exactly what he wanted to hear.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to explain how he had become so much stronger in just two months.
"No wonder."
This answer brought a knowing smile to Tarot's lips.
The shock from before had vanished without a trace, replaced by a condescending, 'kind' reminder:
"Using rare and precious materials in the early stages can certainly quickly improve one's strength."
However, in the path of cultivation, the foundation is of utmost importance.
Forcibly raising one's level by relying on external objects often leads to superficial primordial energy and delayed comprehension of laws.
While things may seem glamorous in the short term, bottlenecks will appear even faster in the future, and may even cut off the path to higher levels.
I suggest you use fewer rare and precious medicinal herbs.
As he spoke, his gaze seemed to casually sweep across the moon's reflection, as if he were using this to demonstrate his knowledge and foresight.
At the same time, his opinion of Xu Jingming took a sharp turn for the worse, and a strong sense of disdain welled up inside him.
'Turns out he's a fool who's eager for quick success and instant benefits.'
What's the point of just leveling up?
My understanding of the laws hasn't kept up, but I'm still a high-level expert, even if I'm a Star-level expert of the same level.
They were nothing more than targets with brute force, existing like ants.
"Your Highness Lautaro, please take care of this matter."
Xu Jingming, who had noticed the subtle changes in Tarot's expression, was not angry.
But something felt off.
It seems like this is the first time he's seen a tarot deck.
It feels like the other party is targeting me, both openly and secretly.
"I was just trying to be helpful."
Tarot smiled calmly, his demeanor composed and magnanimous, as if he didn't care at all about Xu Jingming's somewhat indifferent response.
He then turned to Yueying, his smile becoming even gentler:
"Your Highness Moonshadow, what have you thought about the suggestion of forming teams to travel together in the Demon Hunting Competition?"
Blood Refining Star is fraught with danger. With me by your side, Your Highness's safety is better guaranteed, and it will be easier to obtain points rewards.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness Tarot, but it's not necessary. I already have a travel companion."
Moon Shadow gently shook her head, her cool voice carrying a clear refusal.
As she spoke, her gaze naturally turned to Xu Jingming, Lan Yu, and the others.
This subtle movement displeased Tarot slightly, but his smile remained unchanged, and his demeanor was as composed as ever.
"Very well, since Your Highness has already made arrangements, I will not insist."
However, if we meet during the demon-hunting competition, I will still protect Your Highness.
