Star Martial God Technique (Web Novel) - Chapter 17 — Star Pillar
Chapter 17 : Star Pillar
For several times now, Liang Yu wanted to talk with Xia Yuning, but she always ignored him.
Although when she talked with An Xueyun, on Xia Yuning’s beautiful face often appeared a dazzling smile, at the same time she was indifferent and proud with everyone one else. Truly fit to be called Ice Queen.
After they walked on the bridge for around one hour, they finally reached the end of the bridge and stepped on the plateau region. Here, every corner of the land almost fully covered by jungle, trees whose height reached more than dozens meter could be seen at every direction. Across the mountain valley nearby, often transmitted intermittent beast roar, these environments, really made their hair stand on the end.
“Finally, we arrived at the place of Smelting Trial. This place is a vast flat mountain peak, about several hundred li (0,5 km), surrounded by steep cliff, and there was no road that connected this place with outside world except this iron bridge. On this peak, all the formidable demon beast had been hunted and killed, the only ones remained are demon beast that aren’t too dangerous. These demon beast were stranded in the middle of six Restriction Seal Arts, divided them into six trial areas. Our destination is the First Area, which the distance from our current position was only several hundred meters. There, the only demon beast that lived were Flame Bird Demonic beasts with cultivation of Heavenly Layer 1st stage!” Teacher Chu Xian explained to the students.
In order to ensure the safety of the new students, their first Smelting Trial was held in the First Area, which could be said to have no danger at all.
The students that came later were looking around curiously, everything here was a new experience for them.
The large group of students went through the woods until they arrived in front of some kind of barrier. This energy barrier was actually an enormous spherical dome that covered an enormous region. Surrounded this region, was several towering great pillars that reached as high as several hundred meters.
These great pillars were promiscuous, almost covered completely by dense, numerous rattan that crawled on its surface. On the visible surface area of the pillar could be seen some ancient letters of unknown era. It was almost impossible to determine which civilization left these writings behind.
They only vaguely felt, that ancient civilization, likely was a great existence!
When arrived at this place, Ye Xinghe had a mystical feeling, as if he was situated on the middle of a really tranquil lake, and when he touch the water surface, created intermittent ripples on the lake. The water ripples were spreading on his whole body, from head to toe, and filled every single pores on his skin with unique feeling.
“What is the purpose of these pillars?” one of the students asked to teacher Chu Xian.
“This is a ruin of a Primordial Era, the true purpose of these pillars, were unknown. The only thing we know for sure is that these ancient stone pillars were called Star Pillar. On the night with full moon, there would be infinite Power of Stars rushed to these Star Pillars from the billions of the stars in the sky. There are many mysterious things left behind from ancient times that we, present people, don’t understand completely. For example, these Star Pillars, the Spiritual Tower of God, and Eternal Heaven Palace that floats on the sky.” Chu Xian said as he stared at distant place, deeply lost in thought.
On the students’ faces, revealed expression of yearning and admiration.
Ye Xinghe fixed his eyes at the distant Star Pillars as he wondered, those great Pillars were remnants from the ancient era. What kind of world was there in the ancient times? They actually left behind so many mysterious and mystical things.
But those times were too far in the past, even though he was really curious, there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, An Xueyun also stared at the Star Pillars. These Star Pillars, should be related to Star Martial Artist… as she thought this way, immediately the image of Ye Xinghe appeared in her mind, and she unconsciously glanced at him.
As if felt An Xueyun’s stare, Ye Xinghe also turned his vision toward An Xueyun. Immediately, both pairs of eyes met, the boy and the girl, looked at each other in a daze.
As Ye Xinghe entered her vision, An Xueyun suddenly remembered yesterday’s incident. Her chest tightened, and her elegant face turned crimson at the same time. She snorted and turned her head, no longer paid attention to him.
Saw An Xueyun’s ashamed and resentful appearance, Ye Xinghe felt sorry and bitter in his heart. He didn’t know how to make her forgive him. Earlier, he wanted to apologize, but An Xueyun ignored him completely so he hadn’t got the chance to speak.
Xia Yuning, who walked beside An Xueyun, got startled when she saw the latter’s expression. Was it possible that there really is something happening between An Xueyun and Ye Xinghe? Otherwise, why was Yuning blushed when their eyes met? This matter really poked her curiosity.
At this time, beside Liang Yu, there stood another youth. When he saw this scene, on his pupils, flashed a wisp of cold killing intent. This guy called Liang Jian was Liang Yu’s younger cousin of the same family. Originally, at the Talent examination, his talent was inferior only to An Xueyun and Liang Yu, and could become personal disciple of Vice Headmaster Xu. But Ye Xinghe, with his monstrous talent, suddenly emerged out of nowhere, forcibly took his position as top three talents in their batch. This really irritated him extremely.
Liang Jian also had a crush at An Xueyun for a long time, but he understood that they being together were impossible. The relationship between Eternal Heaven family and his Dark Moon Family wasn’t good, moreover, he heard that An Xueyun already engaged with a young master from a big aristocratic family of Capital City.
In his thought, An Xueyun was the same as a goddess, and impossible to be approached. He could only silently admire her beauty from a far. But what was this situation? The unreachable goddess in his heart, actually showed such reaction from another man! Could it be, when they trained together under Vice Headmaster Xu’s guidance, during all the time they spent together, in her heart, An Xueyun already developed feeling for Ye Xinghe?
These thought made Liang Jian get mad with jealousy. Looked at An Xueyun’s beautiful figure that he wanted the most in his heart, he thought, if he could get intimate with her, even if he had to die, he wouldn’t feel any regret at all!
The more he thought about Ye Xinghe, the more he felt anger and resentment. As he couldn’t repress his anger anymore, he started to walk towards Ye Xinghe’s direction.
When Liang Yu noted Liang Jian’s action, immediately he understood the situation. With a single glance, he knew that the latter hated Ye Xinghe to the bone because of An Xueyun. His Dark Moon Family was a well-respected family and they had a lot of junior members in the Heavenly Star Academy. This younger cousin’s relationship with him wasn’t good as they didn’t interact often, and only saw each other as fellow clansmen. Therefore, since Liang Jian went to trouble Ye Xinghe on his own accord, Liang Yu would love to take a look at it.
Bang!
Liang Jian’s shoulder bumped hardly at Ye Xinghe’s body. Since the latter didn’t expect it, he staggered backward and almost fell down before he managed to stabilize himself.
“What are you doing?” Ye Xinghe wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at Liang Jian angrily. He clearly felt that Liang Jian bumped at him intentionally.
“Mere slave of Subsidiary Family, dare to look at me in the eye!? Had you truly ate leopard’s balls? Dare to behave so atrociously unexpectedly! It seems our clansmen hadn’t properly teach you about manners!” Liang Jian snorted when he heard the words. He coldly looked at Ye Xinghe, and raised his hand to hit the latter.
“You!” Ye Xinghe tightly clenched his fist. If not for his worry toward his family, Ye Xinghe would have moved his hand to give Liang Jian a lesson. This damned Dark Moon Family member, talked and behave this aggressive, really made his heart nearly burst because of anger.
Lin Hong quickly moved and stand in front of Ye Xinghe. He grabs the fist that Liang Jian threw and coldly said, “Young master Liang Jian, every single one of us are Heavenly Star Academy student, if young master still remember, the academy rules number 32 clearly stated that all students of Heavenly Star Academy, regardless of their origin or family background, is on equal ground. Just now young master used your background family’s power to suppress other. It was really despicable!”
Although An Xueyun had turned her head and pretended to ignore Ye Xinghe, actually she still paid attention to him. When she discovered that Liang Jian was trying to troubled him, An Xueyun hurriedly turned her head and looked at Ye Xinghe’s direction.
Xia Yuning and the rest of students also took a look at what was happening.
“Why you bother with what I do? I don’t need you to teach me anything. You are a nuisance, just scram!” Liang Jian coldly snorted, he realized that everyone’s attention had focused on them, made it impossible for him to made concession. Furthermore, in front of An Xueyun, it was impossible for him to show weakness to Ye Xinghe and Lin Hong.
Liang Jian wanted to pull his hand, but he realized that Lin Hong’s grip on his wrist was really firm, no matter how much he struggled to let loose, he still couldn’t pull it out.
“Young Master Liang Jian, if you really have ability, then I challenge you to a one-on-one match! But if all you could do was wagging your tongue shamelessly, you might as well get the hell out of here right now!”
