Chapter 138: Chapter 103: Celestial Phenomenon

"Not good!"

Ji Xinghuo exclaimed in his mind, "How could there be a Star Fall Phenomenon?"

In the Star Realm, many peculiar phenomena occur, like the Star Tears he had encountered before, but the phenomenon taking place now was called the "Star Fall Phenomenon."

The trigger for this event had long been known—it was the presence of a Star Fall Ability!

In fact, the reason the Star Fall Ability was named as such was because when it appeared, it was accompanied by a celestial phenomenon, as if a shooting star had broken free from the Galaxy’s reflection and fallen into the Star Realm.

Alien Species, Abilities, Spiritual Objects, Treasures—anything of this level would trigger a Star Falling Phenomenon.

Once the phenomenon occurred, it meant that a treasure of Star Fall Level had appeared in the area!

Ji Xinghuo had, of course, known about this for a long time.

But he thought that when Qing Hong evolved from a regular iron arrow into a Spiritual Object, it must have already triggered a Star Fall Phenomenon once, and he was merely sharing Abilities with Qing Hong, so it shouldn’t trigger the phenomenon again.

He never expected that he had guessed wrong.

At this moment.

The entire Midpoint Fortress was stirred up, with people running onto the streets or coming out from the barracks, looking up at the shooting star falling in the sky.

"Star Fall Phenomenon!"

Many people were shouting, "This is the Star Fall Phenomenon, who got the Star Fall Ability?"

"The shooting star is falling toward the fortress!"

"The Star Fall Alien Species must be inside the fortress, or if not, it can’t be far away."

"Damn it!"

"Who is it? Who’s so lucky?"

The people on the streets all looked excited, envious, amazed, and bewildered, while some stared intently at the direction of the falling star, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Ji Xinghuo felt very nervous, more nervous than anyone else as he watched the phenomenon in the sky, from his perspective, more clearly than anyone else could see—the shooting star was falling straight toward him, but it was just an illusion, not an actual falling star.

Even so, it revealed a lot of information.

Fortunately, the shooting star was very far off, and its falling direction pointed toward a vast area, making half of the people in Midpoint Fortress think it was headed for them.

Ji Xinghuo felt slightly relieved.

He had read online in the past that the Star Fall Phenomenon does not pinpoint the exact location, covering a broad and general area instead.

Boom!

A loud thunderclap echoed from the mountaintop district of Midpoint Fortress.

People turned their heads and saw a figure soaring into the sky, surrounded by dark clouds, and wrapped in blindingly bright lightning.

Through his Wanxiang Star Pupil, Ji Xinghuo could see everything crystal clear, and his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.

Heavenly King Mutant!

The Midpoint Fortress was guarded by a Heavenly King, but it wasn’t always the same person; instead, nations took turns sending a Heavenly King on rotation. The defending Heavenly King did not intervene in military commands or administrative tasks, nor did they have the authority to command troops. Their sole responsibility was combat—to kill any formidable enemies that attacked.

The current guardian of Midpoint Fortress was a Heavenly King from the West Alliance, named "Heinrich Mueller."

He was a "Superconductor Stringer."

An advanced profession combining Superconductor Mage and Spiritual Power Stringer, Heinrich was extremely powerful, ranking ninth on the global Heavenly King list!

Heinrich had an impressive nickname—Zeus!

He wasn’t a Magnetic Field Madman; his initial professional template was Superconductor Mage, but later he gained Spiritual Energy, specialized as Electric Field Stringer, and combined the two to wield powerful force of thunder and lightning. Each time he acted, it was with a flash of lightning and a boom of thunder, magnificent and powerful, just like the god king Zeus from Western mythology.

He was not as powerful as Zeus from mythology, but he wasn’t far off either.

At first, he did not accept this nickname and was very resistant, but after being called it for over a hundred years, everyone, including he himself, had come to accept it by default.

"Zeus!"

"Lord Heinrich has come out, could he have acquired the Star Fall Ability?" Ji Xinghuo heard someone on the street questioning.

"How do you know it’s definitely an Ability? Maybe it’s some other treasure."

"It surely isn’t Zeus who acquired it."

"Looking at Zeus’s reaction, he seems just as surprised..."

The surrounding people continued to discuss animatedly, but no one knew that the real instigator was right there in this inn.

Ji Xinghuo watched the falling star, which seemed to be rapidly approaching, but was actually still very far away.

According to what he read, the shooting star would not actually hit the ground.

Just as he observed, the concern for Ji Xinghuo grew; he worried about being discovered in relation to the Star Fall Phenomenon. Regular Mutants might not notice, but a Heavenly King Mutant might possess unknown information and methods that could expose him to Zeus...

His gaze occasionally shifted to Heinrich up in the midair by the mountain top.

Even from a few kilometers away, Ji Xinghuo could see every move of Heinrich clearly. This Zeus had a distinctive appearance, being tall and strong, dressed in a loose white robe with blue trimmings, his hair unkempt, and a full beard peppered with grey, his rugged features noble and commanding.

At first glance, he looked almost identical to the Zeus of mythology.

"Is this some kind of cosplay?"

Ji Xinghuo mused internally.

Called Zeus, dressing and demeanor aligning with Zeus, yet he claims he doesn’t want the nickname?

This is practically performance art!

But he only dared to mutter internally, fearful that Heinrich might suddenly look his way. He occasionally glanced from a distance but quickly averted his gaze, not daring to stare too long.

Heinrich’s gaze roamed around the entire fortress, seemingly searching for the origin of the phenomenon.

Occasionally looking up at the shooting star, calculating angles.

"Damn, he won’t really figure it out, will he?" Ji Xinghuo felt a tingling sensation inside, and while no one was paying attention, he went back from the balcony to his room, entered Stealth mode, and prepared to quietly leave the inn.

However, he noticed that as he moved, the shooting star in the sky also underwent subtle changes.

Few people noticed this change, but Heinrich did.

"Hmm?"

Ji Xinghuo had been secretly observing Heinrich and noticed that his gaze had shifted, not because he had discovered him, but to confirm that the origin of the Starfall Phenomenon was in this direction.

Crack!

With a clap of thunder, Heinrich’s figure shot off like lightning, streaking several kilometers to appear above the First Level district.

"Lord Zeus has arrived!"

"Could it be that the Star-falling Species are nearby?" The people around were immediately abuzz with excitement, some with fiery eyes, looking around everywhere.

Ji Xinghuo was too frightened to move.

At this moment, Heinrich was less than a thousand meters away from him. With the sensitivity of a Mutant of the Heavenly King, any movement he made was very likely to be detected.

Ji Xinghuo returned to the balcony, looking at the sky phenomenon, pretending to be like everyone else.

Time ticked away second by second.

Ji Xinghuo felt as if it was as long as a year, extremely agonizing, and the flying stars in the sky never fell. Finally, after about ten minutes, the Star Falling Phenomenon slowly faded, the stars dimmed, and the sky gradually lightened up, returning to its daytime appearance.

The people on the streets looked disappointed.

If the Star Falling Phenomenon had occurred in the wilderness where people were scarce, it would have been a great opportunity to search thoroughly.

But the phenomenon had occurred at the Midpoint Fortress, the district was complicated, and with several hundred thousand people, it was impossible to find anything.

Heinrich lingered for a few more minutes after the phenomenon had disappeared.

Eventually, he left empty-handed.

Following a thunderous roar, the Zeus disappeared, probably having returned to the mountaintop district.

Watching Heinrich’s departing figure, Ji Xinghuo silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lucky he didn’t find out."

After such an ordeal, he didn’t dare to test the Dimension Stomach in his hotel room and waited two hours before leaving the inn to go to a nearby private training field, where he rented a Martial Arts Arena and began to explore the use of the Dimension Stomach.

Although he had seen it many times on Qing Hong, owning the Dimension Stomach himself felt completely different.

Ji Xinghuo closed his eyes and concentrated intently.

"So, it doesn’t necessarily have to enter or exit through the mouth!" He was greatly surprised, focused his mind, and the Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow suddenly disappeared from his hand.

Ji Xinghuo felt as if he had gained an extra organ inside his stomach, attached to his stomach.

He could constantly feel the inner space, and every item within it was readily accessible at a mere thought,

just as if it were in his hand.

He could see, touch, and smell it, knowing everything about its condition.

Ji Xinghuo moved his thoughts again, and the Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow reappeared in his hand, no different from when it had entered; time seemed to be paused inside the Dimension Stomach.

Whatever it was like going in, it was the same coming out.

The openings of the Dimension Stomach weren’t fixed and could be designated at any part of his body, roughly the size of half a palm.

Ji Xinghuo tossed an arrow into the air, which quickly fell under gravity.

He reached out, opened the entrance of the Dimension Stomach on his palm, and the arrow disappeared the moment it touched his hand.

Without any transition,

the whole arrow appeared instantly in the Dimension Stomach, and its kinetic energy was also frozen in time.

Ji Xinghuo tried to retrieve the arrow, but flipped the exit direction.

Instantly, the arrow shot out from his chest, flying only two or three meters before falling due to the small kinetic energy.

"Interesting!"

Ji Xinghuo’s eyes lit up; just this feature alone could lead to many applications!

First, as defense.

The entrance of the Dimension Stomach, in a sense, is an invincible shield; as long as it’s used correctly, opening the entrance at the point of an enemy’s attack could prevent any damage, including physical impact and energy harm.

This required highly skilled use of the Dimension Stomach, quick activation, and correct positioning.

Of course, the volume of the items stored couldn’t exceed the space of the Dimension Stomach.

This could be upgraded!

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the interface: upgrading a First Level Dimension Stomach to a Second Level required 1021 points of Spiritual Origin Energy, achievable by hunting for four to five days.

He invested the remaining 156 points of Spiritual Origin Energy into the Dimension Stomach, and indeed, the space expanded,

quickly exceeding two cubic meters!

Ji Xinghuo noticed that the opening of the Dimension Stomach had also slightly enlarged and couldn’t help but be thrilled. If the opening was large enough to cover his whole body, wouldn’t that mean he was invincible?

Next, the offensive capabilities of the Dimension Stomach were also extremely powerful.

By storing powerful objects and throwing them out at critical moments, ordinary enemies simply couldn’t defend against it.

It could also greatly increase the frequency of shooting arrows!

Ji Xinghuo tested this by storing dozens of arrows in the Dimension Stomach, drew the Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow, and at the moment it was fully drawn, pulled an arrow from the space and positioned it perfectly on the bow, then fired it straight away.

Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz...

He quickly mastered this high-speed archery technique, the rate dependent on the speed of drawing the bowstring.

In a state of high-frequency thinking, the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand moved as fast as a phantom, able to shoot three arrows per second at its fastest.

This was obviously not the limit.

As the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand upgraded, shooting would only get faster.

Looking at the dozens of arrows stuck in the target, Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, "Maybe it’s time to upgrade the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand..."
