Indeed, Lin Feng's Demon Dragon Star has now metamorphosed into a Fourth Grade Star, not the First Grade Star trash that others speak of. Moreover, in terms of cultivation amplification, it's far more heavenly-defying than ordinary Fourth Grade Stars.
Because even within the same Grade, there are considerable differences. For instance, Lin Feng's type of Beast Star, the Dragon Species, is one of the top tiers, which is significantly stronger than that of Lin Panghu's Powerful Vajra Bear. Naturally, the cultivation amplification is also different.
"Previously, when I comprehended the Star Skill, it seemed to be a Seventh Grade."
As Lin Feng moved carefully through the darkness of the night, his mind was also occupied with plans for the future. After breaking through to martial master, the sight and hearing of a Martial Artist improved leaps and bounds compared to before. One could detect the approach of Demon Beasts in advance to avoid danger. If it were a mere Martial Artist, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.
As for Star Skills, also known as Talent Skills, these are innate abilities that come with the Star, but not every Star possesses such talents, nor is it certain that one can comprehend them. There are many Martial Artists who go through life without comprehending even one.
Even Lin Feng, previously only mastered one, called Demon Dragon Enhancement, which could strengthen his defensive power.
Star Skills, like Combat Skills, and other things like Elixir Arrays, are all categorized from one to nine Stars, from low to high. The Star Skill that the Time-Space Star Monarch, whom Lin Feng had last fought, used was Time-Space Inversion, a Nine Stars level Star Skill, absolutely heaven-defying.
As for how many Star Skills a Star can learn, no one can say for sure, not even Lin Feng. This is because it all depends on the fate between the Martial Artist and their Star. Maybe the same Star, in the hands of different people, the comprehended Star Skills might be entirely different.
Apart from the Star Skills of the Stars, the Combat Skills learned by Martial Artists themselves, range from One to Nine Stars across nine different grades. Lin Feng didn't worry about these things; even though the highest in the Lin Family was only a Four Stars Battle Skill, Lin Feng already had many Combat Skills suitable for himself in his head.
"All these Combat Skills are not an issue, the only thing lacking now is cultivation. Martial master First Layer might seem high, but it's actually just so-so."
Lin Feng's vision, naturally, couldn't be compared with ordinary people, after all, he's someone who had seen the greater world. For ordinary people, advancing to martial master would be overwhelmingly exciting.
"I hope this treasure can give me a bit of a surprise."
...
Boyang City's Lin Family.
Lin Zihua suddenly opened his eyes wide, a strong aura bursting forth, shocking the Elder beside him, who repeatedly exclaimed in approval.
"Excellent, Lin Zihua, you are the most monstrous talent I have ever seen in our Lin Family. To have broken through to martial master at such a young age, you are a true genius!"
The Great Elder laughed heartily, stroking his beard with a face full of smiles, pleased with Lin Zihua. Indeed, an Eighth Grade Star, the more he looked, the more delighted he became.
"Thank you, Elder, for your generous support. Without your resources, I wouldn't have been able to step into the realm of martial master so quickly."
Lin Zihua's words were modest, but the arrogance in his eyes was clearly evident.
The Great Elder laughed: "It's all due to your talent. Compared with that Lin Feng, you are far superior. In my view, our family's resources are prepared for geniuses like you. As for someone like Lin Feng, who relies on background but whose talent is utterly rubbish, he doesn't deserve to be a disciple of our Lin Family, let alone enjoy our resources! He should go out and see how others laugh at our Lin Family because of such trash!"
Lin Zihua gestured with his hand to interrupt the Great Elder, who was eager to continue, "Great Elder, there's no need to discuss me and someone like Lin Feng in the same breath. You should know I've never taken him seriously. He isn't qualified to be my opponent. However, I heard from Lin Mo'er that Lin Feng seemed to outperform Lin Dao last time? His performance was extraordinary?"
Great Elder thought back to the day outside the lecture hall when Lin Dao, a Fourth Grade Star, was powerfully defeated by Lin Feng. He frowned slightly: "Indeed, that did happen. But to me, it's probably just the Family Head secretly passing on some techniques to him. It's not worth mentioning. After all, cultivation level and Star Grade are fundamental. From the day the Star Ceremony concluded, he ceased to be in your world. In the future, if you wish, I can help you secure the position of Family Head of the Lin Family!"
Lin Zihua said indifferently: "Let's talk about this matter later, after all, I'm just at martial master First Layer right now."
To downplay it as just martial master First Layer, the Great Elder knew Lin Zihua had the capability to be so arrogant, he didn't find it conceited at all; in fact, he quite liked it. "You don't need to be so modest. In the entire Lin Family, you were the first to break through to martial master. Even the grandson of the Third Elder is only at the Ninth Layer Peak, and he still needs some days to advance. As for Lin Feng, haha, that waste is probably still at Martial Apprentice Sixth Layer!"
Lin Zihua shook his head. As a genius, how could he only aim to break through to martial master? That was the goal Lin Feng, that kind of trash, strives for. He is Lin Family's top genius, the top talent in Boyang City. His goals aren't just Boyang City or even just Hu Ben Country. He intended to reach higher and farther places. As for others, they were merely like dog excrement and wildflowers beside the road of life. How could he possibly pay attention to such dog excrement and wildflowers?
However, it must be said, the taste of that wildflower, Lin Mo'er, was quite delightful. In this period, it could serve as a seasoning besides cultivation, to be thoroughly enjoyed.
Lin Feng, naturally, didn't know about these matters. Only when dawn began to break did he finally locate a hill somewhat similar to the hidden treasure's location. The hill was not so lofty or magnificent, just a small barren hill. Lin Feng looked around, saw no traces of people or Demon Beasts following, and directly entered the mountain. Walking roughly a few dozen steps, he discovered that the mountain was covered with Thunder Bamboo.
Thunder Bamboo is a relatively rare plant that is very sturdy and can be used to make bamboo beds and serve as shafts for spears. It is also particularly disliked by Demon Beasts because they fear thunder, and this Thunder Bamboo, when there is a thunderstorm nearby, its unique hollow structure records the thunder of the night. When the wind blows, the bamboo body would rumble loudly again, like the thunder reverberating anew.
