Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Condensing the first star took only half a day. Condensing the second star took about six and a half days. If the third star's power needs to be condensed, the time required would likely be even longer.

"Hmm?"

Lin Mo looked down and saw some foul black impurities emerging from beneath his skin, emitting a strange odor. Instantly, with a shock of True Yuan, he cleared all the grime off his skin. "Unexpectedly, condensing the power of the stars has once again washed the marrow and cut bones of my body!" Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he squeezed his fists, clearly feeling that his power had surged slightly compared to before. The force achieved through pure martial arts surpassed ordinary Divine Force by ten times. When swinging his fist,

there was a faint sense of communicating with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power.

Miraculously, his sensing power of the primordial energy in the world became sharper.

"Disciple."

Just as Lin Mo was excited, a sharp and high-pitched voice resonated from outside the Cultivation Room.

"Senior..."

The excitement on Lin Mo's cheeks receded, replaced by a wary expression.

"How is the cultivation technique I taught you coming along?"

"Senior, I am currently absorbing the starlight to condense star power, and have not yet begun cultivating the technique you've taught me." Lin Mo replied in a tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hmm?"

Outside the secret chamber, the man cloaked in black hovered mid-air, surrounded by swirling gray-black mist. His eyes flickered ominously, clearly displeased because Lin Mo hadn't cultivated the technique he had imparted.

"Senior, my sole pursuit is martial arts. Having finally seen so much starlight, I plan to condense the third star before I begin cultivating your technique." Lin Mo's eyes sparkled as he spoke.

"Oh, so you've already condensed two stars' power, not bad... not bad." The man's voice was hoarse.

"But, senior... I am dull of talent. The starlight in the secret chamber has almost been consumed. I can no longer condense the third star's power." Lin Mo's voice was tinged with helplessness.

"Oh, I happen to have a thousand units of starlight here. I'll give them all to you to help you condense the third star sooner." The man hesitated for a moment, then his voice came forth.

Lin Mo gently pressed a protruding button on the stone wall. He was certain that his counterpart still had patience and wouldn't seize his body forcefully, though it was also a gamble.

The stone door of the secret chamber made a creaking sound, gradually opening.

"Senior." Lin Mo spoke without humility or arrogance.

The man in the black robe looked at him and waved his hand. Suddenly, the starlight, resembling fireflies, swarmed into the chamber. "These starlight units I've gathered amount to approximately a thousand. They're enough for you to condense a third star's power. Take them all."

"Wow, thank you, senior..."

Lin Mo's face broke into a wild grin as if he were a wolf seeing a beauty.

"Hmm!"

The man in the black robe made an almost inaudible snort, seemingly disdainful, his eyes burning with a peculiar brilliance as he gazed at Lin Mo.

"Senior, I'll continue now. Once I condense the third star, I will immediately start cultivating the technique you've taught me." Lin Mo said gratefully, then unhurriedly closed the stone door of the chamber.

As the stone door shut fully, Lin Mo exhaled deeply. If the other had realized something was wrong, he might have ignored the resistance of his soul and forcefully seized control of it, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo immediately pressed the protruding button on the stone wall, and a dark beam flowed over the stone wall and door once again.

Inside the hall.

"Waiting, I've waited for three thousand years, another month or two doesn't matter. Little fellow, go on cultivating properly. The stronger your body becomes, the more I like it." The man in the black robe rasped, drifting to the throne, closed his eyes to cultivate, while the swirling black mist crazily surged toward his body.

Lin Mo looked at the starlight floating in the Cultivation Room, a joyful expression spreading across his face. If luck was on his side, he might be able to condense the fourth star's power.

With this in mind, Lin Mo sat down cross-legged, opened his mouth like a black hole, and began absorbing the starlight into his body, embarking on the long journey of condensing the third star's power.

...

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Nine Continents Secret Realm, Green Dragon Martial Arts School.

A towering figure stood amidst the sky, gazing down at the mist-shrouded lake below.

"It's been a month, I wonder if that guy can come out?"

Liang Yuan shook his head, sighing slightly.

Although Lin Mo wounded his most beloved disciple, Lin Mo once saved him inside the Prison Tower, greatly increasing Liang Yuan's fondness for Lin Mo.

"Master!"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Oh? You've come out of retreat!"

Liang Yuan turned around, his tense face softening slightly, casting his gaze upon the young man standing on the square, eyes filled with affection.

"Disciple, I haven't let Master down; I have already broken through the Star Wheel Mirror!"

The young man performed a respectful bow, his voice holding a hint of excitement.

"Good, good, good."

Liang Yuan clapped his hands, laughing, "Your speed was fastest; you broke through the Star Wheel Mirror using only one unit of starlight, excellent, excellent."

He truly liked this disciple from the bottom of his heart because the disciple was the most talented Martial Artist within the Green Dragon Martial Arts School.

"All thanks to Master's nurturing." The young man raised his head, revealing a slightly handsome face.

"However, stepping into the Star Wheel Mirror is just the first step. You now have the qualification to enter the Azure Dragon Hall, where various books are available. You can go take a look and thoroughly understand them." Liang Yuan said indifferently.

"Thank you, Master." The young man's eyes flashed brightly. Among the Three Great Martial Arts Schools, only the Master could enter the mountain peak hall, filled with many cultivation books; disciples could only enter upon reaching the Star Wheel Mirror. Now that the young man had obtained this opportunity, he was naturally thrilled.

"Go ahead, visit the hall; the Star Wheel Mirror is merely the starting point on the martial path, don't grow arrogant." Liang Yuan gently advised.

"Yes, Master."

The young man turned around, striding toward the palace.

"Wait a moment."

Liang Yuan suddenly called the youth.

"Master?" The young man stopped after a few steps, turned around puzzled, "Master, do you have other instructions?"

"I want to ask you, Lin Mo killed your brother Luo Shaoshou; do you hate him?" Liang Yuan asked with a tense face.

This youth was none other than Luo Danhua, a disciple of the Green Dragon Martial Arts School.

Hearing Liang Yuan's words, Luo Danhua hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm no match for him, and my brother was at fault first; why would I hate Lin Mo."

Seeing Luo Danhua's calm face and indifferent tone, Liang Yuan's sword eyebrows slightly furrowed and said, "That's good then, go ahead and cultivate."

"Yes, Master." Luo Danhua turned around, striding into the palace hall.

Watching Luo Danhua's departing figure, Liang Yuan tightly furrowed his brows. If Luo Danhua had said he resented Lin Mo, maybe he wouldn't have been upset, but Luo Danhua actually said he didn't resent Lin Mo—this kind of person has too deep a scheme, narrow-minded, his future achievements... will be limited.

"Such excellent talent, what a pity. If Lin Mo died, naturally, you wouldn't resent him; if he doesn't die, you better not provoke him either." Liang Yuan murmured to himself.

...

Green Dragon Martial Arts School.

Inside the top floor hall, two figures stood suspending in mid-air.

"Master, it's been a month, Lin Mo hasn't come out yet." A burly man, his head bald, respectfully stood in mid-air and spoke slowly.

"Mm, go inform Lin Mo's family and his wife," Fang Tangjing said indifferently.
