Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Second Star
Shen Bingyan nodded, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, "I trust you."
Lei Pojun revealed a smile, "Don’t worry, during this period you will stay at my place. As for your father, I will send someone to deliver a letter later on, to inform him that you are with me. We have to address this with your father sooner or later. Besides, as a son-in-law, I must be far stronger than Lin Feng, right? Although the Lin Family has been doing quite well at the Star Tower recently, it’s only because of Lin Zihua. Lin Feng is still nothing but a useless Young Master. Your father is a smart man and he won’t fail to see the advantages and disadvantages here."
Shen Bingyan hummed in acknowledgment, continuing to nestle against Lei Pojun’s shoulder.
Lei Pojun wrapped his arm around her, "Also, in three days, I plan to go to a place for training, so I might not be able to accompany you then."
...
Lin Family.
Lin Zheng found Lin Feng afterward.
"Feng, Lin Zihua has received the qualification for the baptism. I’m afraid that in one month, you..."
He shook his head, not finishing his sentence, but Lin Feng understood very well what his concerns were—worried that in one month, Lin Feng would be humiliated by Lin Zihua.
Lin Feng poured a cup of tea for Lin Zheng and then one for himself. He then sat down with a smile, "Father, rest assured, in one month, I can assure you, the one who will lose is definitely Lin Zihua, not me."
"Oh? Why are you so confident?" Lin Zheng asked, puzzled.
Lin Feng took a sip of tea, appearing calm and composed. He then revealed a faint smile and said to Lin Zheng, word by word:
"Because, the one who has received the baptism qualification, is me, not him."
Whoosh!
Lin Zheng suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Lin Feng with disbelief, "Feng... Feng, I must have heard wrong, how can it be possible?"
Lin Feng didn’t say anything, just revealed his aura.
It was a martial master at the peak of the Second Layer.
"This... is this really the Peak of the Second Layer martial master?"
Lin Zheng’s eyes shimmered with ecstasy. He knew Lin Feng was a martial master before, but only at the First Layer. Now suddenly at the Second Layer, this seemed only possible if one had received the baptism qualification. But the question was, why did everyone else think that it was Lin Zihua who got the baptism qualification?
Lin Feng smiled lightly, "All of this is just the Great Elders’ wishful thinking. As for why this misunderstanding occurred, I don’t know either."
Lin Zheng was stunned for a long while, as if processing this astonishing turn of events. The entire Lin Family and even the Shi Family and Lei Family were admiring Lin Zihua, but who knew that the one who received the baptism qualification wasn’t him but his own Feng.
This all felt like a dream, too unreal. Lin Zheng felt as if he had experienced too many ups and downs during this period.
He took a deep breath.
"Then, Feng, you keep cultivating well. If you have any matters, come find your father again."
Lin Zheng left with a few words of advice and a smile on his face, and even Lin Feng could hear bursts of his laughter.
Once Lin Zheng had left, Lin Feng began to prepare for cultivation. Now at the Peak of the Second Layer, he was ready to try and break through to the Third Layer.
But soon, Lin Feng opened his eyes, frowning. Something wasn’t right; a portion of the spiritual energy within his body was being diverted, as if something was stealing his spiritual energy, causing his cultivation speed to drop substantially.
"What exactly is going on?"
Lin Feng puzzled over this, immediately starting to check his body, and found no issues with it.
Then the problem must lie with the Star.
Could it be that his Demon Dragon Star is also competing with him for Spiritual Energy?
That’s even less likely.
Lin Feng stimulated his own Demon Dragon Star. It was still Fifth Grade, but very soon, he was stunned, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Because he discovered that beneath the Demon Dragon Star, there was a vague shadow!
"This is..."
Lin Feng’s thoughts shot through his mind like lightning, and he soon revealed a shocked expression, "A second Star??? How is that possible??"
He had actually managed to communicate with a second Star without even realizing it!
Lin Feng’s gaze immediately brimmed with disbelief, "Could it be that..."
The first thing that came to his mind was the Star Tower! He thought of that baptism!
But the question was, during that time, he clearly hadn’t sensed himself communicating with any second Star!
However, appearing beneath the Demon Dragon Star, there indeed was a Star, and looking at it, my goodness, it seemed... as if... it looked like... another dragon?
And judging by its Grade, Lin Feng was instantly astonished. Because Lin Feng’s second Star turned out to be a Ninth Grade Star! A Ninth Grade Dragon-type Star!!
"No way, it can’t be."
Even Lin Feng himself found it unfathomable; he immediately withdrew the Demon Dragon Star, and without the suppression of the Demon Dragon Star, the second Star became much clearer. It radiated a brilliant light, allowing Lin Feng to finally see its true face.
It was the Shield Bone Dragon amongst the Dragon-type Stars!
The Shield Bone Dragon, its entire dragon head was covered by a layer of white, thick Dragon Bone, looking just like a large shield, appearing extremely heavy. Besides that, the rest of its body was covered with thick layers of bone, providing it with an extraordinary defensive power.
The other parts were similar to ordinary Dragon Species, albeit with a slightly shorter body. Also, because the Shield Bone Dragon’s body weight far exceeded that of other Dragon Species, its flesh wings had shrunk, no longer capable of flight, not a Flying Dragon Species like the Demon Dragon, but rather it was a Sub-dragon Species adapted for land movement.
Of the thirty-two types of Dragon-type Demon Beasts, Lin Feng had now obtained two, and one could say that it was basically impossible for a Martial Artist to possess two Dragon-type Stars at the same time. Even Lin Feng himself felt this was too surreal.
"This is too much like dumb luck. How could the second Star I communicated with also be a Dragon-type Star."
Lin Feng himself couldn’t believe it. Luck was indeed something that could be influenced by certain factors, but his luck was simply too defying. His second Star was directly a Ninth Grade Shield Bone Dragon Star. Once the Star Body was activated, Lin Feng would basically possess absolute defense in his Realm, virtually unmovable even if others attacked.
"Could it be?"
Lin Feng’s mind moved quickly, and he immediately guessed the likely ’culprit’ behind all this.
The Heavenly Grace Dragon Book!
Indeed, Lin Feng found that a new pattern had emerged on top of the thirty-one undrawn Dragon Scales, it was the Shield Bone Dragon.
Lin Feng was contemplative. He vaguely guessed something. Could it be due to the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book that he had directly communicated with a Dragon-type Star?
Was the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book a mystical bridge for Martial Artists to communicate with Dragon-type Stars?
Lin Feng didn’t dare to continue the thought because thinking further was too terrifying for him.
Some Martial Artists in their lifetime will have more than one Star. Like Lin Feng now, he has dual Stars, but Lin Feng had once encountered a strong individual who had a total of seven, although these seven were not all too powerful, the sheer number was terrifying, and they provided a diverse set of abilities.
They could fly, control flames, control thunder, create mist, produce poisonous swamps, basically play the opponent to death.
