Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 38 The Brightest Star in the Night Sky (I)
The first day of entering the Star-asking Tower was the most critical. Tang Zheng had completed five star-asking missions in two days and one night, and he estimated that he was almost there too.
However, most of these two days and one night were spent in the Taiyin Star Eye and the Qi Sha Star Eye.
There was a burst of noise coming from the stone tablet on Qisha Island.
Only a few of them were left out of more than four hundred people. Even if their performance in the seventh round was not perfect in the eyes of the Seven Killing Star Lord, they could still gain a lot.
They may not be able to receive personal instruction from the Seven Killing Star Lord, but after they return, they will definitely be able to practice the secret martial arts very well.
After all, they were the first group of warriors to land on the Seven Kill Island. Even if the next group performed better than them, they would not receive the careful guidance of the Seven Kill Star Lord.
Tang Zheng opened his eyes again.
Not surprisingly, he has not left the Star-Seeking Tower yet.
"Haha, it's about time, right?" He looked at the sky. "Is there a sixth one?"
…
Outside the Sushiwenxing Tower in the capitals of various aristocratic families, warriors were welcomed out of the tower one after another.
It is like this every year in the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower. The most warriors leave the tower between one hour and one and a half hours. There are not many people leaving the tower before one hour and after one and a half hours.
"Thank you for your hard work. How do you feel?" Su Shi asked the crowd outside the Star Tower. They were like reporters and parents outside the college entrance examination hall. As soon as they saw the warriors coming out, they would come forward to ask.
"I heard someone in there destroyed a star eye. What happened?"
"Did you meet anyone special?"
All kinds of questions came like snowflakes, making it impossible for the warriors leaving the tower to answer them one by one.
However, there was one question that almost everyone was asked that shocked them all.
Someone destroyed a Star Eye!
"Well, how could a warrior who is at most at the peak of the two stars destroy a star eye?"
"Don't tell me, I seemed to really hear a loud bang, and I thought it was the sound of a mirage from some star-eyed creature."
"Isn't that the sound of rules colliding?"
Listening to the descriptions of the warriors who came out, the instructors outside not only failed to understand what happened inside, but also looked at each other in confusion.
Especially in some large academies, there were many warriors entering, but they heard the same noise in different places, which made the people from the seven top families no longer able to remain calm.
Of course, the noise made by a two-star warrior could not be heard by the entire Sushixing Tower.
"Isn't it just one star eye that was destroyed? Are other places also destroyed?" After receiving this latest news, the elders of the seven top families could no longer sit still and all went to the Star Tower in person.
However, the starry sky above the Sushixing Tower was still shining, and it didn't look like anything major had happened.
As time passed, more and more warriors came out.
"A special person? I didn't meet one, but someone seemed to fall from the sky three times."
"Twice? I saw it twice..."
"No, no, no, I saw it three times too. It should be the same person."
"Every time it fell in a different place, it screamed miserably..."
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed and there was only a quarter of an hour left before two hours.
There are not many stars left in the starry sky.
The person who fell from the sky three times gradually became clear in their description.
The first time was when the warriors near the Sun Star Eye saw his clothes and appearance very clearly. The next two times, almost no one could see clearly, but it was certain that he seemed to appear in several specific places at specific times.
Different people have seen him in different places, but no one knows who he is.
"If that's the case, then he has now completed the nine star-asking tasks of Sun, Tianji, Taiyin, Lianzhen, Qisha, Tanlang, Pojun, Wuqu, Tianliang...? And the time spent on Qisha Island was the longest?"
"How is that possible! What can you get out of asking the stars nine times? There wouldn't even be enough time to just go through it all."
At this moment, another warrior walked out of the Star-Seeking Tower: "The person you are talking about, I just saw him in the Tianxiang Star Eye not long ago..."
Now, there is only a quarter of an hour left before the Shushiwenxing Tower closes, and only dozens of stars are left out of the thousands in the sky.
However, outside the eighty-one Star-Seeking Towers, there was total silence.
What does it mean that a person has completed ten star-questions in the Star-Questioning Tower?
Generally, when a warrior completes asking the stars four or five times, it will be considered that he will have many main stars to choose from in the future. Asking the stars ten times almost means that this warrior can attract any main star he wants except for a few main stars, almost at will.
"It seems... to be true." Above their heads, there was a star with extraordinary brightness. The light it emitted in the sky was almost as bright as the fourteen main stars.
So bright...
So bright...
Be it the crowd of onlookers, the instructors who led the team every year, or the elders of the aristocratic families who have been watching the Star Tower for their entire lives, none of them could remember seeing such a bright star.
But after a while, the brightness of the star increased again.
There are only about forty warriors left in the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower, but the brightness of no other star can compare to that one.
The eleventh time I asked the stars, I was successful.
Then, it unexpectedly arrived near the eye of the twelfth main star and moved accurately towards the eye...
Is there any more? Can it succeed again?
Everyone is looking forward to it.
"Who is he?" Everyone kept repeating these three words in their mouths and hearts.
Who is he, what kind of person is he, which family does he come from, which academy...
People outside have too many questions they want to know.
However, the stars in the sky have no names marked on them, so no one knows which young talent is represented by that star .
"Check! Which families still have warriors who have not left the tower? Find out for me quickly." Similar instructions were heard outside the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower of several top families.
"Our family... Qin Miao hasn't come out yet." Outside the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower of the Tian Qin family, an instructor immediately counted the number of people after receiving the order.
"Could it be... No wonder." His words immediately attracted all attention. When everyone thought that the brightest star in the night sky might be Qin Miao, the second heir to the Tianqin family, they were not so surprised.
However, if Qin Miao achieved such a miraculous record in the Star-Seeking Tower, shouldn’t the Qin family’s succession order be changed?
The top families in Xingyao Continent would not easily change the prince they have already confirmed. Besides, Prince Qin Rong is very powerful and has done nothing wrong...
The patriarch of the Tianqin family, who had a smile on his face just now, immediately stopped smiling when he thought of the upcoming battle for the succession to the patriarch.
In the corner of the crowd, the fake Qin Miao, who had seen the "brightest star" in Tianjixing's eyes, sneered and whispered to himself: "No, that star is not Qin Miao, you are all wrong..."
Of course, he knew it in his heart, but he would not say it out loud so casually. A secret must be revealed only when it is useful!
…
The inquiries from the top families were transmitted to every Star-Seeking Tower in a very short time.
Most of the noble families reported immediately the warriors that had not yet left the tower. Some second- and third-rate families who wanted to get close to the top families reported a few more, thinking of the possible support and benefits they might get. On the contrary, some families who did not want their talents to flow out concealed the warriors that had not yet left the tower.
After all, no one can figure out whether that bright star is theirs before someone comes out to ask clearly.
Whether it was over-reporting or concealing the truth, it wasn't a difficult matter. However, in one place, it really made everyone feel troubled...
Outside the Changyuan Leng family's Sushiwenxing Tower, the four instructors looked at each other in bewilderment at the questioning of the family elder.
"What do you mean? You said we still have six warriors inside? There are only more than 40 in total, and we have six?" The patriarch blew his beard and almost laughed out of anger. "Why don't you just say you are the Tianqin family?"
"There are only two warriors from the Tianqin family still inside..." an attendant next to him whispered.
"Someone must have come out. You didn't notice it. You neglected your duty. You don't have to come next year." The elder rubbed his frail face and asked, "Which six?"
The four instructors looked at each other.
The instructor of Jiuhua Academy whispered a name: "Jiuhua Academy, Leng Donglie."
The patriarch nodded and said, "I've heard of this nephew. Who else?"
"Seventh-grade Academy, Cui Minghan." Another voice sounded.
Hearing this name, the elder shook his head and continued to ask, "Anything else?"
The instructor of Sanqing Academy hurriedly said, "Sanqing Academy, Feng Yuan, the leader of the Qintian Sect, a border sect."
The elder frowned and looked at Instructor Zou of Yisu Academy with a very curious look: "You said there are still six who haven't come out?"
"Yes." Instructor Zou's hands and feet are also cold now.
"I have only heard three names. You are not going to tell me that there are only three warriors from your Yisu Academy who can stay in the Star-Seeking Tower for so long?"
"Yisu Academy, Jiang Wuyan, Tang Xiaotang, and Tang Zheng have not left the tower yet. " Instructor Zou carefully glanced at the patriarch, whose face already looked very unsightly, and called out three names in a low voice.
"That's ridiculous!" When the elder heard him name three names, he said, "I've eaten more salt in my life than you have walked. Even if you want to name a few more to get some benefits, you'd better be more modest!"
The four instructors frowned, but none of them spoke.
Not far away, Meng Fenghua, who had already left the tower, reached out and touched Meng Fengling's hair.
"What do you mean you've eaten more salt than you've walked?" Little Bell asked in confusion.
"That's not the point." A smile appeared on Meng Fenghua's cold face.
"Then the point is... they are looking for someone?" Xiao Lingling raised her head and looked at Meng Fenghua, "Sister, do you know who they are looking for?"
"Shh..." Meng Fenghua smiled and looked up at the sky. The brightest star seemed to be winking at her amusingly.
