Chapter 2: Star Masters and Star Knights (1/2)

Shu Jing gulped down his saliva and cleared his nose. He nearly choked to death from the girl’s loud declaration.

Wait. Majestic Star “Panther Head” Lin Chong? Did he mishear her?

“Can you repeat that?” Shu Jing asked after a little while.

“From now on, this servant is your woman.” Lin Chong blushed as she repeated each word angrily. If not because of the Star Knights’ oath, she would have already split this man, who was pretending to be oblivious, in half.

Shu Jing quickly clarified.

“No, what you said before that. Lin Chong?”

“That’s right, it is I, the Majestic Star “Panther Head” Lin Chong.” Lin Chong lowered her voice and retrieved the serpent spear.

Shu Jing massaged his throat as he stared at the strange girl in front of him.

“Cosplayer? Some of my comrades are also into those kinds of thing.” Shu Jing muttered.

“Master, what are you talking about?” Lin Chong frowned. Was her master crazy or is he an idiot? He remained indifferent even after hearing her famous title.

“It was an unfortunate mistake this time. But well, even if I have to take responsibility for seeing you naked, it was worth it.” Shu Jing smiled lewdly. Looking closely at the girl in front of him, her brows were fine as leaf, eyes as brilliant as stars, her figure heroic. If she was placed in the ancient time she would definitely look the part of an army general.

“Master, please get to the real point.” Lin Chong coldly replied.

Seeing that she was not in a joking mood, Shu Jing also turned serious.

“Where is this? Are we in Inner Mongolia?”

“Clear Wilderness Highland in Thousand Mount Kingdom.” A chillingly cold reply came.

Clear Wilderness Highland? Thousand Mount Kingdom? These two places never existed throughout history as far as he could remember. Having a bad feeling, Shu Jing spat out almost incomprehensibly: “Year?”

“Star Sight year 975!”

What kind of crazy era is that?

“What kind of world is this?” Shu Jing clutched his head in pain.

“Liangshan Continent!” At this point, Lin Chong could no longer endure it and laughed coldly. “Master, all these simple questions can be answered by even toddlers. Do you take me as some sort of fool?”

Shu Jing look up at the sky, it was clearly daytime, and yet he could see over a hundred stars shining. Further in the distance, there was even a massive pillar cutting straight through the cloud from the sea standing nonchalantly, which was an impossibility in the world he knew.

Was he transported to another world?

Before Shu Jing did hear his friends joked about it but he would never imagine one day he himself would be in this situation.

“Lin Chong have yet to hear Master’s name.” Lin Chong asked.

“You can call me Shu Jing, no need for master this or that. Even though it sounds quite gratifying, the implications aren’t very appropriate. I am merely a soldier, Haha!”

“Even though Lin Chong does not enjoy your nonsensical talks, we have already signed a Star Duel Covenant. I will abandon my own prejudices.” Lin Chong spoke, conflicted.

“What is the Star Duel Covenant?” Shu Jing’s eyes were wide opened: “Is it something to do with Star Wars?”

Lin Chong’s face sank. She asked with a lowered voice: “Please don’t tell this servant Master isn’t aware of things like Star Masters and Star Maidens?”

Shu Jing spread his hands and shrugged — it was exactly as Lin Chong guessed.

Lin Chong bit her lips until it nearly bled. She was the famous Majestic Star Lin Chong! In the end, how did she end up contracting with an idiot who doesn’t even know anything? What kind of farce was this!

Seeing that this man still didn’t fully comprehend the gravity of the current situation, Lin Chong attempted to explain.

“Star Duel” was the most important event in Liangshan Continent. Every 108 years, 108 stars will appear along with their representative 108 maidens. Each maiden possessed powerful martial arts and abilities.

All Star Maidens are able to sign a Star Duel Covenant with a star cultivator. The contractor will then become their master for the rest of their lives. In Mount LiangContinent, a star cultivator is someone who possessed Star Energy.

When a star cultivator is contracted with a Star Knight, they become a Star Master, and they will head to Liangshan Maiden’s Domain.

Why are Star Duel Covenants contracts made?

Of course for battles.

What do you fight for?

For your wish.

Legend says, once there is only one final star left in the sky, Liangshan Maiden will descend and grant the winner their wish.

“That’s the Liangshan Maiden’s Domain.” Lin Chong points toward the massive pillar in the distance that seems like it was holding up the very sky itself.

“But why must I follow the rules of some third rate novel plot and risk my life?” Shu Jing frowned and blurted.
