Just then, a gasp suddenly erupted from the training ground. Night Owl had actually successfully executed a full Star Step, instantly moving more than a meter away, although he stumbled a few steps upon landing.
"Beautiful!" Han Feng rarely showed an approving smile. "That's it!"
Night Owl, panting, his eyes gleaming with excitement, said, "Captain, I feel it... that 'folding' sensation!"
The training progressed smoothly. Iron Tower was finally able to maintain the Starburst Finger for two seconds; Viper and Hawkeye collaborated to develop a combo attack—one used Star Step to change position, and the other used Starburst Finger to launch a surprise attack; Ghost unexpectedly discovered that dispersing the energy of Starburst Finger could form a temporary shield.
"Time's up." Three hours later, Han Feng clapped his hands to stop them. "Show us the results."
The team members demonstrated in turn. Night Owl was undoubtedly the fastest improving, already able to use two moves skillfully; Iron Tower's power control was still rough but had reached the standard; Viper and Hawkeye's combination was impressive; Ghost's defensive variation was even more unexpected.
Han Feng nodded with satisfaction, then said to everyone, "Watch closely for this next move."
Han Feng's voice echoed across the training ground, and all the team members immediately held their breath. Night Owl even leaned forward unconsciously, afraid of missing any detail.
Han Feng's body slumped slightly, and his hands formed a strange hand seal. Suddenly, a dazzling starlight shone from his chest, then exploded like fireworks, with countless points of light flowing along a specific trajectory throughout his body.
"Star Avatar."
Before he finished speaking, three dazzling beams of light split off from Han Feng's body, twisting and deforming in the air before solidifying into three figures identical to him in the blink of an eye. The four "Han Fengs" moved simultaneously to the four corners of the training ground, their steps perfectly synchronized, even the curve of their clothes fluttering was exactly the same.
"Holy crap!" The towering man's deep voice was the first to break the silence, startling the two-meter-tall giant into taking a half-step back, almost tripping over himself.
Night Owl's pupils contracted sharply. As a speed-type fighter, he knew better than anyone that if this kind of clone technique really existed, its terror would be unimaginable. It was not an afterimage, not an illusion, but a real physical clone!
Viper and Night Owl simultaneously reached for their weapons at their waists—an instinctive reaction of agents facing an unknown threat. Night Owl even went into stealth mode, only to awkwardly reappear as all four Han Fengs turned and smiled at him, clearly having seen through his invisibility.
"You...?" Su Wanwan covered her mouth in surprise, "Didn't we only get one last time?"
Dongfang Wantang's expression was the most fascinating. Her red lips parted slightly as the records in her family's ancient texts about "the Star Soul Master being able to transform into an external avatar" shattered and reformed in her mind. The scene before her completely overturned the understanding passed down for thousands of years by the Starry Sky Family.
"Don't be nervous." The four Han Fengs spoke simultaneously, their voices perfectly synchronized, creating a strange echo in the training ground. "This is just a basic application of the power of stars."
Han Feng, located in the north corner, raised his right hand, his palm facing upwards, and a ball of starlight condensed; Tongqi, in the south corner, raised his left hand; the east and west corners each displayed different moves. The four bodies were like precisely synchronized holographic projections, yet each acted independently.
"The principle is very simple," Han Feng from the east corner began to explain, "You construct a complete cycle of stellar power within your body, following the orbital paths of the stars, and then—"
"—Like cell division, separate this part of the energy from consciousness." Xijiao continued, as if the same thought was seamlessly flowing between the four bodies.
Han Feng suddenly appeared in front of Night Owl from the south, startling the latter: "The key lies in the stability of the energy circuit. You've already mastered the basics of star orbit, next..."
Han Feng, who was standing behind the iron tower at the North Point, patted the burly man on the shoulder: "...It's just an attempt to replicate the star trail within the condensed energy body, and then—"
"Just do it this way."
Four Han Fengs simultaneously leaped to the center of the arena, merging into one in mid-air. Upon landing, only the original Han Feng remained, even the folds in his clothes were exactly the same as before he created the clone.
The training ground was completely silent. The team members' faces were filled with a complex mix of shock, confusion, and eager anticipation.
"Don't make that face." Han Feng chuckled. "You all possess the power of the stars within you, and it's currently extremely pure; it just needs proper guidance." He took off his coat and tossed it aside. "Now, everyone, form a circle, and we'll practice energy resonance."
The team members quickly followed suit, even Dongfang Wantang curiously joined in. Han Feng stood at the center, arms outstretched: "Close your eyes and feel the starlight within your body."
As he finished speaking, strands of silver light flowed from Han Feng's fingertips, wrapping around the wrists of each team member as if they were alive. Night Owl gasped—the moment the light touched his skin, he clearly felt something "awaken" inside him.
"This is the stellar power you've accumulated through your cultivation these past few days," Han Feng's voice became ethereal. "Now, follow my guidance."
Suddenly, a complex star map lit up the training ground, an enlarged version of star orbits. Han Feng's main body and three newly separated clones stood at key nodes, forming an energy transmission network.
"Remember this feeling." Four voices rang out simultaneously, "The star trail is the root, the clones are the fruit. First solidify the foundation, then pursue change."
Iron Tower was covered in sweat, the power of the stars within him raging like a bull; Night Owl was making good progress, already able to form a faint halo on his body; Rain Butterfly unexpectedly found the trick, and was the first to conjure a semi-transparent finger.
Su Wanwan suddenly exclaimed, "Han Feng! Your clone..."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and saw that one of the four Han Fengs was becoming transparent, like a holographic image with a poor signal.
"Time's up." The transparent Han Feng shrugged. "Remember, the duration of the clone is directly related to the precision of energy control." After saying that, he vanished into thin air like a bubble.
Dongfang Wantang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She finally understood why the family records were wrong—it wasn't that the Star Soul Masters of each generation could only create one clone, but that the purity of their Star Power could not reach the level of Han Feng!
A peculiar thought flashed through Dongfang Wantang's mind: "If all these people learn the Star Avatar technique, it would be equivalent to doubling their combat power. Even opponents of the same level would be unable to withstand their onslaught."
Thinking of this, Dongfang Wantang looked at Han Feng with a rather complicated expression.
At this moment, Su Wanwan complained from the side, "This is too difficult!"
