Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 37: Punishing the Heart (Part 2)
In the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower, the sky gradually darkened again.
Their second day was about to end. After tonight, most of the warriors would complete the Star Questioning and leave the Star Questioning Tower one after another.
As soon as Tang Zheng arrived at the beach, he saw Meng Fenghua playing with a bell in his hand.
The bell was transparent, and upon closer inspection, there was actually a person inside.
Behind them, another white light lit up, which meant that another warrior was sent out of the Seven Kill Island.
It looks like tonight's night on Qisha Island will be quieter than ever before.
"You didn't kill her?" Tang Zheng smiled and looked at the bell in Meng Fenghua's hand.
"I will never kill her under any circumstances." Meng Fenghua's cold voice floated in the night sky, "What if it's true?"
"That's..." Tang Zheng smiled and nodded.
He could understand the feeling of not being able to take any risks even though there was a one in ten thousand chance.
He spread his hands and smiled again: "It seems that we have failed ."
Meng Fenghua lowered his head and hummed again: "Yes, that was the last round."
"Do you regret it?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile, "You can only come to the Star Tower once."
Meng Fenghua shook his head.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath: "Me too."
The night is quiet and silent.
"Let's go and take a look at the stone tablet." Meng Fenghua stood up first.
"Yeah." Although Tang Zheng didn't expect to see anything good written on the stone tablet, he came to ask Xing once, and after six rounds, there were only a few people left, so he could always find out something.
However, just as they stood up, they heard light footsteps behind them.
Tang Zheng and Meng Fenghua turned around at the same time and looked at a man walking towards them, wearing a loose white coat and walking with his hands behind his back.
He didn't even have a weapon in his hand, but Tang Zheng and Meng Fenghua subconsciously focused their attention on him...
He is like a sword.
As long as you stand in front of it, it's like a sword hanging high.
Both of them felt a jolt in their hearts at the same time.
Could it be...
The man didn't say a word, just pointed at Meng Fenghua, and then a long sword rose up behind him!
There was a stream of light on the sword, and even a few stars could not be seen clearly.
Then, the star power flowed in the air, and he raised his hand leisurely, and the sword that was originally a star image floated directly beside him...
Meng Fenghua uttered a low "ah" and couldn't help but take two steps forward.
Just as she took these two steps, the man pointed at her again, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman behind her actually moved slightly and floated beside her, just like the sword next to the man!
Meng Fenghua was so excited that she was speechless!
Is that the Seven Killing Star Lord?
The Lord of the Seven Killing Stars actually came in person to give instructions!
Why? She obviously didn't pass the seventh round!
But she didn't even have to go to the stone tablet, the Seven Killing Star Lord came directly.
She didn't have time to think about these messy things, and she was carefully feeling the formation of the star power circuit bit by bit!
Although the Seven Killing Star Lord was very frugal with words, he was surprisingly patient. He demonstrated how to directly call upon the star power himself, very slowly, and then directly guided Meng Fenghua to do it again, also very slowly, without being impatient or anxious, and not at all as sharp and frightening as he gave people the impression.
Meng Fenghua felt the flow of star power over and over again, first covering it, then building a circuit, running it, controlling it from a distance, and releasing and retracting it...
Although she was still very unskilled, at least she had reached the threshold of calling upon the stars.
What she learned here was how to directly call upon the Queen Mother of the West.
The martial arts she will practice after going out will allow her to master the skills of making the Queen Mother of the West do what she wants.
If what warriors get on the Seven Killings Island is compared to learning, recognizing, and playing the keys on a piano, then the secret martial arts are the piano scores that determine what kind of music they play on the keys.
The Seven Killing Star Lord performed a complete set of exercises over and over again ten times before stopping, and Meng Fenghua's clothes were already soaked.
On the Seven Kill Island, it is estimated that very few people have received such hands-on instruction from the Star Lord.
After Meng Fenghua retreated, Tang Zheng saw the Seven Killing Star Lord pointing at him and immediately took two steps forward.
Then, he saw the sword that was originally floating beside the Seven Killing Star Lord like the Queen Mother of the West, and it landed in the hands of the Seven Killing Star Lord with a "swish".
Tang Zheng's breathing stagnated.
He knew that because his astrological type was different from Meng Fenghua's, the method of calling was also different.
However, his horoscope is... time. But time is invisible and intangible, so how can he use it?
The Seven Killing Star Lord said nothing, held the long sword of his constellation in his hand, and closed his eyes.
Tang Zheng felt his heartbeat slow down.
Then, he saw the sword in the hand of the Seven Killing Star Lord emit a faint sword sound...
The surrounding star power surged wildly. Tang Zheng only felt that every ray of star power was flowing through the sword. Then, those ray of star power seemed to have life and rushed towards a huge rock on the beach.
But what was strange was that the huge rock shattered into pieces without making any sound.
Tang Zheng felt the flow of star power just now, just like...
Before he could think clearly, the star power in his body had already been mobilized by the Seven Killing Star Lord, and soon, it covered his star sign...
Tang Zheng clenched his fingers, feeling that the flow of star power in his body was very strange. At the same time, the Seven Killing Star Lord pointed his hand at another boulder, and his star image instantly left his back and covered the upper part of the boulder. Then, silently and without any sound, the boulder was cut in half.
"Uh, this is..." Tang Zheng understood the structure of the entire star power circuit after just one feeling. However, it was because he understood it at once that he felt cold all over.
The Seven Killing Star Lord, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke his first words: "Well, your astrology has moved the upper part of the boulder to a time ten breaths ago."
Meng Fenghua on the side took a breath of cold air!
If that boulder was a person...
Tang Zheng moved its head ten breaths ago, so could this person still be alive?
"However, without the support of five-star or higher star power, you'd better not try." The Seven Killing Star Lord poured a bucket of cold water on him, "You haven't adapted to your star sign yet. You don't know what it is, nor do you understand what it can do... Understand it clearly first, then come to me."
The Seven Killing Star Lord did not patiently demonstrate it many times like he did to Meng Fenghua, and his last sentence made Meng Fenghua laugh and cry - every warrior can only enter the Star Tower once in his life, so why would he come to him again?
Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng nodded and responded nonchalantly: "Well, my understanding of my own astrology is indeed very limited. I will come again when I really understand it."
This trip to the Star Tower was truly worthwhile.
If he had not come here, Tang Zheng might have believed all his life that his horoscope was a piece of purple gold.
Even when he was at the peak of his one-star level and was able to draw stars into battle, and even when astrological talent appeared, he still didn't figure out what his astrology was.
Of course, there is no question of understanding.
Other warriors were already very clear about what they possessed when the star sign rose. None of them was like Tang Zheng, who learned the name of his own star sign for the first time in the Star Tower.
Wheel of Taihao.
If Tang Zheng was not very interested in calling upon the stars at the beginning, then when he saw the huge stone being moved ten breaths ago, he really began to take this matter seriously.
Because, although his astrology has no ready-made secret martial arts to use, once it is truly developed, what will he control?
time!
He just wanted to shout out loud that it was totally worth coming to the Sushiwenxing Tower, and it was also totally worth coming to the Xingyao Continent!
"But why are you..." Seeing that the Seven Killing Star Lord was obviously not going to demonstrate it to Tang Zheng a second time, Meng Fenghua couldn't help but speak a little faster.
"I'll think of a way." Tang Zheng smiled and didn't let Meng Fenghua continue.
His current strength is not enough, even if the Seven Killing Star Lord demonstrates it to him several times, it will be useless.
It's like a child holding a piece of C4 and thinking it's a string of firecrackers. Before he knows the difference between C4 and firecrackers, he must not be taught how to light them.
"Five stars... what?" Tang Zheng touched his nose without caring and nodded to the Seven Killing Star Lord , "Okay, I'll come again, but you may not remember me by then."
“No need to remember.” The Seven Killing Star Lord helped them complete the star questioning and then turned around and prepared to leave.
However, he had just taken two steps when Tang Zheng called him: "Star Lord, I have another less important question, can you answer it?"
The Seven Killing Star Lord stopped but did not look back.
Tang Zheng asked: "Feng Hua and I haven't completed the seventh round of the test, why do you appear in front of us?"
The Seven Killing Star Lord was silent for a moment.
When Meng Fenghua heard Tang Zheng ask this question, she suddenly remembered that she saw with her own eyes someone complete the seventh round of tests and ran to the stone tablet, but it was the two of them who chose to give up and saw the remaining consciousness of the Star Lord.
"Have you seen my sword?" The Seven Killing Star Lord spoke slowly, but his words were as clear as a blade, sharp and powerful.
"I see..." the two people answered at the same time.
"A sword must have a sheath. Otherwise, it will soon become dull." The Seven Killing Star Lords said as they left: "Killing people is not difficult, but no matter how many people you kill, you still have a bottom line in your heart. It's not easy. You are excellent!"
Excellent...
Meng Fenghua simply couldn't believe that the Seven Killing Star Lord, who usually spoke very little, could actually say these four words to them.
Those warriors who completed the seventh round of tests could probably get the answers they wanted from the stone tablet. However, they had been killing since the first round, and they were so blood-thirsty that they did not stop their killing in the last round. So, are they like a sword without a scabbard?
Meng Fenghua stared blankly at the direction where the Seven Killing Star Lord left...
"No...it's not because they are not strong enough, nor because their character is not good enough."
"Maybe it's just because there hasn't been a person around them who won't kill no matter what happens. When they meet someone like that, they might recall the assessment in the Star-Questioning Tower and have a different mood, right?"
"Little Bell..." Meng Fenghua thought of the little figure who was still waiting for her outside the Star-Seeking Tower, and smiled at Tang Zheng, "I think my Star-Seeking should be almost there... You keep working hard!"
"Go." Tang Zheng smiled and waved at her, "See you outside the tower."
