The noodle was tasty, especially since it was free. The young master of the Immortal Flame Sect didn't even dare give Huang Lu a look, mostly peeking from the corner of his eyes. The other three disciples merely kept their head down.

Huang Lu smiled, and just as he walked out, he heard a shout.

"It's the Half Star Sect!" The random man yelled, and Huang Lu never heard of the Half Star Sect, ever! The young master of the Immortal Flame Sect popped out of the noodle shop, and immediately ran.

"Protect the young master!" The three disciples looked absolutely frightened, but did their best to protect their young master.

Huang Lu looked around and saw a man? He wasn't sure, it looked like someone with a half a starfish for a face, and an angry looking eye. He radiated a deathly aura, and everyone seemed to avoid him.

Huang Lu heard the chatter on the street. "We must call the Eastern Wind Sect! Only they stand a chance against the power of the Half Star! Go! Run."

The half-starfish man laughed evilly! "Fear me, oh foolish cultivators, for whatever you do, the half stars come for you! And that includes you, young master of the Immortal Flames!"

A black-half star flew from his palms like a bird and flew towards the young master of the immortal flames. The young master looked horrified, and immediately, he pulled one of the disciples to block the half star. The half star smashed into the lackey, and the lackey turned delirious.

The lackey started talking gibberish! He tugged the young master. "Alll is lost, young master. My ranking has dropped by 2,000 places and I can never ever recover from this. I'm doomed young master! I feel like a piece of shit that should not exist and ever touch cultivation ever again."

The young master's face looked pale and horrified. "Get a grip! The half-stars will only frighten you if you let it."

Stolen novel; please report.

"I'm doomed young master! Doomed! I shall never ever make it in life!" The disciple wailed.

The half-starfish man laughed. "Oh, your lackey took the hit for you! Well, this next one won't be so easy to avoid!"

Huang Lu frowned. Who was this man and why was he fighting? What level was he? Why he could not even feel his cultivation? Is he just a mortal wielding some fake power?

The half-starfish man shot another black-halfstar that flew across the sky. But it missed and smashed into a market stall. He laughed. "Ah, how unfortunate. But too bad. Nothing can stop the half star."

He had an evil, booming laughter.

"Oh righteous sects of the world, come at me!"

Huang Lu stood forward. There was no room for hesitation, and so, he charged forward.

"Banned Punch!" His punch landed squarely in the gut of the half-starfish man. The force of his punch flung the half-star sect's outer disciple into a large wagon filled with horse manure. It didn't kill him, but the guy stood.

"Ouch. Well, I don't know which sect you are from, but taste my half-star!"

The half star flew towards Huang Lu. The young master of the Immortal Flame Sect yelled. "Dodge it!"

Huang Lu frowned. No, he was going to take it like a man. Like the chaddiest chad of Alpha Cultivators from Gigachad Sect . Half stars? Bring it!

The black halfstar smashed into his muscles, and for a moment, Huang Lu felt himself overwhelmed with self-doubt. But only a moment. He was a street rat, and was a random someone going to crush his self confidence? No way.

He laughed, and the black halfstar wilted anda melted. The black halfstar stuck onto his skin like a black sticky slim. Huang Lu frowned, and just peeled it off.

[You've received 5 heavenly coin.]

The Half-Star Disciple looked horrified. "How?"

Huang Lu laughed. "You think this half-star gives you power over me?"

He stepped forward. The Half-star disciples fired more half stars, but each subsequent half-star seemed to have no effect. They stuck on his skin, and fell off. There was no self doubt.

Huang Lu smiled. "It seemed only your first half-star has any effect."

He ran forward, and landed a single punch in the horse-manure covered Half-star cultivator. He coughed out black blood. "This is not the end of me! You will see me again, muscle-head cultivator."

"I am Huang Lu, and go fuck yourself." He punched the half-star cultivator again.

His punch didn't hit, as the Half Star Cultivator morphed into a thousand little black halfstars and vanished. He could hear the young master clapping and kowtowing in the distance.
