Chapter 10

The "Star Pattern Insight" is only a dozen or so pages long, with each illustration being simple and easy to understand. It mainly describes how a person cultivates the first thread of star power and how to use this first thread of star power to determine the form of the star pattern they possess.

The illustrations in this "Star Pattern Insight" compare a person's body to the sea.

For those who have not cultivated, the power within their bodies is like the surface of the sea under the sun, calm and peaceful.

However, cultivators can mobilize their power, forming wave after wave of "star tides," continuously impacting their bodies and star meridians. These mixed powers will continuously purify and converge, forming pure and orderly "star power."

Using star power to continue impacting the body and star meridians, until they are solidified to a certain extent, one can attempt to use the main star's power to impact the Life Palace!

Once the impact is successful, the Life Palace can be illuminated!

After the Life Palace is illuminated and one becomes a one-star martial artist, the amount of star power the body can contain will double, and the star power will become even purer.

As for how to use star power in battle, the "Star Pattern Insight" is the first lesson of the启蒙教材 (enlightenment textbook), of course, it does not mention this.

Besides explaining how to form "star tides" and how to impact star meridians, the "Star Pattern Insight" places the most emphasis on palm pattern insight!

Because beginners have very low star power and cannot directly summon star patterns on their backs, the only way to know the form of their star pattern is through pattern insight.

A special "pattern ink" made from thirteen materials is applied to the palm, and then, using the first thread of star power cultivated, the "pattern ink" is printed onto a piece of white paper, producing a rough image.

Although it is not particularly clear, most can still be recognized.

"Pattern ink? Hmm... Once I take some money out of the purple-gold belt, I can buy a few buckets to try it out." Tang Zheng, after experiencing the opulence, learned another new and interesting thing.

From the day he received the "Star Attraction Formula," Tang Zheng entered a state of neglecting meals and sleep.

For three or four days, he followed the illustrations in the "Star Pattern Insight," trying to mobilize the power within his body to form "star tides."

For Tang Zheng, this was a completely new experience!

In the past, in the game, all skills were released by making a body posture and a hand movement, never involving the circulation of internal power.

"First, star power perception..." Tang Zheng muttered, "Then, body-star resonance..."

The first step in the "Star Pattern Insight," star power perception, he accomplished very easily. Perhaps it was the effect of the purple-gold belt, his perception of star power was very active, and the second step, body-star resonance, was also very smooth. However, at the third step, "star tide surge," he got stuck.

Star tide? He couldn't even produce a star tide, let alone a surge.

No matter how clear his perception of power was, no matter how well his body and star power aligned, he couldn't even stir up a small ripple in his body!

Tang Zheng stared at the page about "star tide surge" in the "Star Pattern Insight" several times but still couldn't solve the problem.

"Hmm, go to the training ground!" Tang Zheng remembered Tang Xiaotang's reminder: to practice the "Star Attraction Formula," one must go to the training ground.

...

The Tang Family Castle was not very large, and the training ground was also not very big.

The初级训练场 (初级 training ground) was paved with blue stone bricks, about half the size of a standard basketball court. Seven or eight children were earnestly following their teacher, learning move by move.

The intermediate and advanced training grounds next door were not open, and Tang Zheng guessed that it was because the older disciples were busy taking over the Hidden Blue Manor's business.

Since many disciples had not returned yet, the legendary "Teacher Welcome Banquet" that Tang Zheng had heard about had not yet taken place...

However, as soon as he saw the children's movements in the初级 training ground, the place where Tang Zheng had been stuck for several days suddenly became clear.

"Ah, I see! I need to move!"

Tang Zheng felt he was being too silly!

Obviously, a cup of water or a bowl of soup, if left on the table without moving, how could it "surge" on its own?

Therefore, no matter how long he sat on the bed pondering, he would never be able to form a "star power surge"!

"Physical knowledge cannot be forgotten, cultivation must also be scientific!" Tang Zheng realized.

Since he knew he needed to move, it became simple.

Tang Zheng did not disturb the children's class and found a small corner for himself.

The most familiar body posture...

The most perfect hand movement...

Swish!

Tang Zheng stepped out with his left foot, made a sweeping motion with his hand, crouched down, lunged forward half a step, and quickly jumped, shouting, "Nightfall Thrust!"

As soon as the sound faded, the power within his body, which had been calm, finally rippled.

Tang Zheng quickly turned, ran a few steps, then suddenly stopped, scooping the ground with his left hand, "Diagonal Sweep!"

Immediately, he thrust downward as if holding a dagger, "Moon Blade Heart Piercing!"

Although Tang Zheng's combo could no longer produce any skill effects, his movements caused the power within his body to surge in waves...

Finally, the waves of power rose and formed a large wave.

According to the "Star Pattern Insight," this large wave was the "star power surge"!

"Continue!" Tang Zheng became more and more enthusiastic as he practiced.

Because, according to the "Star Pattern Insight," after the first star power surge is formed, it is not far from gathering the first thread of pure star power!

...

A strange person appeared in the corner of the初级 training ground and had been there for several days, which could not help but attract attention.

Moreover, the children in the初级 training ground, around eight or nine years old, were at the age where curiosity could kill a cat.

On the first day, they could still restrain themselves under the teacher's stern gaze, but by the second and third days, even with their fear of the teacher, they could not help but be curious.

After the teacher who taught them the basics left in the afternoon, they exchanged glances and gradually gathered around the corner.

Just as Tang Zheng performed a "Diagonal Sweep," a series of children's laughter echoed in his ears: "Hahaha, so strange, this move must be called 'Monkey Fetching the Moon'!"

"..." Tang Zheng felt stifled. This move was an assassin's takedown technique, using a sudden and swift attack on the opponent's ankle to knock them down, making it easy to follow up with a throat slash or heart pierce.

After a while, Tang Zheng performed a "Dragon Spine Cross Kill," and the group of children laughed wildly: "This is good, this is good, this must be the legendary stir-fry sword technique, look at his stir-fry movements..."

Tang Zheng was completely flustered.

He never expected that in such a strange world, there would also be mischievous children, leaving him unsure whether to feel close or to slap them.

However, just as he was being subjected to all sorts of harsh comments, the "star tide surge" within his body reached a peak!

Tang Zheng followed closely.

Several large waves layered and merged into one large wave!

At the moment the large wave formed, he felt a different kind of power within his body...

"Star power!" Tang Zheng had been working so hard for this thread of star power!

With the first thread of star power, he could continue reading the "Star Attraction Formula" and find an opportunity to go to Wulong Town to see if he could buy some "pattern ink" to determine if he had a star pattern and what kind of star pattern it was.

The surrounding children suddenly took a step back, exclaiming in surprise.

Because, as Tang Zheng successfully gathered his first thread of star power, the blue stone bricks under his feet cracked in half with a crack!

Through this thread of star power, Tang Zheng adjusted his perception and found that he had gained something new in his perception!

The purple-gold belt!

Before, the power within his body, which had not yet formed star power, had no resonance with the purple-gold belt.

However, the star power that had just formed could directly probe into the belt...

The purple-gold belt was a special item that could only hold purple gold, with a very large space. As soon as Tang Zheng's perception probed in, he immediately felt a vast spatial force!

However, what he could currently perceive was only a vast space, like entering a dark room, knowing only that the room was large, but unable to perceive what was inside.

But just the perception of the space's existence was enough to make him grateful to the gods and ancestors!

At least, he had taken the first step!

Ding ling ling...

A clear bell sound suddenly rang in his ears. Turning around, he saw a little girl among the mischievous children, poking Tang Zheng and saying, "Uncle! You broke the formation..."

The little girl was only about seven or eight years old, with short, sparse hair hanging over her shoulders, eyes as black and bright as stars in the sky, and a rosy, tender face that looked like it could be pinched and produce water.

She wore a small purple-gold bell around her neck, which jingled as she moved.

"Uncle... uncle?" Although the little girl was incredibly cute, Tang Zheng found it hard to accept, "I'm only in my early twenties!"

"Uncle..."

"Call me brother!"

"Uncle."

"Brother!"

"Uncle."

"Brother!"

"Uh oh..." The little girl, with her delicate features, suddenly pouted and burst into tears!

Tang Zheng was dumbfounded, looking at the little girl.

It seemed...

Things were not good!

"Uh, that... if you want to call me uncle, then... uncle it is..." Tang Zheng tried to negotiate.

The group of mischievous children gathered around, cheering, "You bullied Wind Chime! You bullied Wind Chime!"

"You made Wind Chime cry!"

"You're dead, Teacher Meng will definitely beat you to death!"

Black lines appeared on Tang Zheng's forehead.

Not good! Very not good!

What should he do?

He needed to take drastic measures!

Tang Zheng's mind raced.

Deep breath!

Warm up!

Just as the children thought he was about to take action, he suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, his face fell, and he raised his voice, crying out loudly, "Uh oh..."

"Eh?" The little girl's crying stopped abruptly!

The group of mischievous children stared with wide eyes, all frozen in place like statues.
