Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
beams of Starlight descended from the sky.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
Heavenly Talents, along with the 7 Heavenly Talents who had already secured spots, swiftly appeared on stage.
The 36 beams of Starlight were systematically distributed across the vast Martial Arts Arena.
Upon closer inspection, the distribution of the Starlight appeared to hold profound mysteries.
But each beam was different.
Some beams of Starlight were more intense, while others were somewhat dim.
Among them, the six beams of Starlight at the forefront were the most intense and dazzling.
According to the rules, these six beams of Starlight could only be entered by the Heavenly Talents who passed the competition and ranked in the top six.
This has always been one of the reasons why, on past Star Swapping Days, even the strongest Heavenly Talents with secured spots still gave up their slots to participate in the competition.
Xiao Yi, Young Master Mo, Lvu Qingran, Wang Xinghe, Lih Fengxing, and others all stepped in.
Among the six beams of Starlight, the one entered by Xiao Yi was the most dazzling.
Within the 36 beams of Starlight, the most dazzling first beam could only be entered by the champion of the competition.
Xiao Yi slowly stepped into the Starlight and then sat down cross-legged.
Behind him, Wang Xinghe looked at the leading first beam of Starlight, his face extremely grim.
A shadow of a sullen expression quickly flashed through his eyes.
As the 36 Heavenly Talents entered, the Star Swapping City Lord loudly announced, "The 36 beams of Starlight will last for three days."
"All you need to do is sit cross-legged within the Starlight and carefully comprehend."
"Any gains are entirely dependent on your own fortune and ability."
After speaking, the Star Swapping City Lord waved his large hand, and a barrier appeared out of thin air, encircling the Martial Arts Arena.
Bathed in Starlight, talents might fall into enlightenment, and must not be disturbed.
Outside the barrier, Martial Artists from various forces could see their own talents but could not cross the barrier to enter the Martial Arts Arena.
Thus the Star Swapping Day began.
In the leading first and most dazzling beam of Starlight, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, initially feeling these beams of light.
The Starlight appeared very gentle.
But when it truly enveloped him, he felt a cool sensation.
This coolness actually penetrated his physical defenses and Protective Primordial Power, instantly permeating his entire body.
The cool sensation did not feel uncomfortable; instead, it was refreshing.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi suddenly frowned.
The Primordial Power within his body, he didn’t know when, began gradually spilling from his Small World.
No, it wasn’t spilling, it was more like it was being drawn out.
"It’s this Starlight," Xiao Yi immediately realized.
This Starlight was forcibly drawing the Primordial Power from his body.
Moreover, with his cultivation and skill, he was completely unable to resist this Starlight.
The Primordial Power in his Small World was being continuously ’extracted’.
Simultaneously, the Primordial Power in the Small World was visibly decreasing.
However, Xiao Yi did not panic.
Because the extracted Primordial Power did not dissipate, instead, it automatically surrounded his body.
When it circled and made contact with the Starlight enveloping his body, it gradually returned to his body.
The Primordial Power returned to his body instantly becoming more refined and powerful.
"So this is what the Star Swapping Day is about?" A realization dawned on Xiao Yi’s face.
At this time, within his body, a circulation cycle between the Primordial Power and Starlight formed gradually.
The Primordial Power exchanged with the Starlight and finally returned to his body, making the Primordial Power more refined.
This was not only a power boost for a Martial Artist but also a qualitative change.
Or to put it more simply, the more refined the Primordial Power in a Martial Artist’s body, the easier it is to break through realms.
The other Heavenly Talents behind him were doing the same exchange.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then accelerated the extraction of Primordial Power from his body.
He couldn’t stop the Starlight from pulling out his Primordial Power, but he could accelerate the extraction from within his body.
This increased the speed of exchange between the Primordial Power and the Starlight.
