Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Chapter 43 Arrival, Force Trial, and Force Purification

After dozens of hours of exchanging experiences, Lance felt that his lightsaber technique, Jakai, had greatly improved.

When he awoke from his meditation, the spaceship was about to arrive at Katonemoydia.

Lance sat back in the driver's seat and shut down the hyperspace engine.

The orchid-lined passageway has been transformed back into lines.

A modified Nemodia shuttle suddenly appeared in the void.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the three cruisers and several frigates.

Just then, the communicator beeped.

Lance and Asoka exchanged a glance and pressed the communication button.

"Imperial affairs. The planet Katonemoydia has been sealed off. No ships are allowed to enter or leave. Please leave immediately."

"Understood, we'll be going now."

In order not to alert the enemy, Lance immediately decided to leave temporarily.

Set the coordinates of the nearest planet and restart the jump into hyperspace.

"Catonemoydia is under lockdown; we must find another way in."

Ahsoka leaned against the passenger seat and turned his head to look at Lance.

"That's right, based on the Empire's deployed fleet, a direct assault is impossible."

"We don't have that many fleets, and once we alert the Empire, their support will arrive quickly and in large numbers."

Lance wholeheartedly agreed that a direct assault was the most unavoidable and worst option.

Before that, they need to find a way to stealthily infiltrate the planet's surface.

They experienced the same situation during the war.

How can I sneak in undetected?

The answer, of course, is to hitch a ride on the empire's coattails.

Thinking of this, the two exchanged a knowing smile.

"The problem now is that we need to lock onto an Imperial ship that will be heading to Katonemoydia soon."

Ahsoka crossed his arms and lowered his head in deep thought.

"Let's contact Senator Organa first; he might be able to get some intelligence from within the Empire."

Lance found Congressman Organa's encrypted channel on his communicator.

After a short wait, a holographic projection popped up.

"You've arrived in Katonemoidi? What's the situation now?"

Lance quickly informed Senator Organa of the Empire's plan to completely blockade the planet.

"Can you get your hands on inside information?"

The Empire's soldiers are all clones, but the officers are not.

Whether it was the former Galactic Republic or the current Galactic Empire, although the bureaucratic system has changed, the basic framework has not changed significantly.

Ogana's mole within the military system can still play a role.

"I'll give it a try. Wait for my news."

Representative Organa paused, then added:

"The support team is already hidden near the star field and can provide assistance at any time."

"Thank you, may the Force be with you."

Communication ended.

Once the spaceship was out of the Empire's radar detection range, it immediately jumped out of hyperspace.

Lance pilots the shuttle, hiding in an asteroid belt.

After shutting down the thrusters, all that followed was a tedious wait.

Time is precious, and Lance certainly wouldn't waste it.

He took out the Jedi Hologram and looked at Ahsoka:

"This is a holographic device that my master gave me. Shall we take a look together?"

A flicker of curiosity and surprise crossed Ahsoka's eyes:

"The hologram contains all the knowledge of a Jedi Master. Would you like to share it with me?"

"Of course. In a way, you're practically Master's disciple."

"All right."

Lance held the hologram and channeled the Force into it.

The holographic device slowly floated and unfolded, its core emitting a pure white light.

The two immersed their consciousness into it, absorbing and comprehending the knowledge of the Force left behind by Master Procon.

Lance felt as if he had entered an ocean of countless points of light, each point of light carrying a piece of information.

Since he solidified his path, his understanding of the Force has deepened considerably.

Many things that were previously vague and difficult to understand are now clear at a glance.

His consciousness continued to penetrate deeper into the sea of ​​light, arriving at a seal.

This is the ultimate technique left behind by Master Procon—the Force Judgment.

Lance raised his hand and placed it on the invisible shield, drawing all his insights into it.

The protective shield gradually faded, eventually shattering completely like a bubble.

A ball of light, dozens of times larger than a normal point of light, suddenly crashed into his consciousness.

Lance felt a sudden heaviness in his mind as a massive influx of information flooded in.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally absorbed and digested it.

Only then did he realize his master's good intentions.

Force Judgment is undoubtedly an extremely powerful skill that requires a very high degree of emotional control. When using it, one must remain calm at all times and not contain any negative emotions.

Simply put, it's like walking a tightrope.

If not handled carefully, it can turn into a forbidden technique—Force Lightning, a deadly Force skill released by the Sith with extreme negative emotions.

Lance has broken the seal, thus meeting the requirements to learn the Force Judgment.

Based on the knowledge in his mind, he guided the Force to circulate and condense rapidly within his body.

next moment.

A thin, golden arc of electricity shot out from his palm and disappeared in a flash.

Lance was not discouraged.

As the Force continued to coalesce, more and more golden arcs of electricity began to flicker.

One, three, five, eight...

The golden lightning stabilized and coiled around his palm.

Lance slowly opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and tiny arcs of electricity danced back and forth between his fingers.

He carefully sensed the powerful energy contained within it.

Compared to real thunder, it lacks some of the terrifying will to destroy everything, but has more vitality.

In other words, it won't kill you with an electric shock.

This is also one of the differences between Force Trial and Force Lightning.

Lance raised his left hand, and golden lightning bolts also burst forth from his palm.

Sensing that his primal energy was rapidly draining away, he quickly dispersed the lightning.

In just a short while, nearly one-tenth of the Force was lost.

"Looks like we'll have to use this as a last resort."

He clenched his fist, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

seem......

The power increased slightly.

Nearly an hour later, Ahsoka slowly opened his eyes.

"Did you find anything?"

The hologram slowly retracted, transforming back into a miniature pyramid that fell into Lance's palm.

A smile played on Ahsoka's lips as he raised his right hand, a holy light emanating from his palm:

"Force Purification, its function is to purify objects corrupted by the dark Force."

"And you?"

Although it's not a combat skill, it's still quite good.

Lance held out his palm, and golden lightning erupted once more: "Force Judgment."

Ahsoka withdrew his Force, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:

"This is... Master Procon's signature technique?!"

"You've actually mastered a Force skill that many Jedi Masters can't even grasp!"

Lance nodded slightly: "It's not too difficult."

......

Several hours later, the communicator rang again.

Lance immediately connected, and a holographic projection of Senator Organa popped up.

"I received intelligence that an Imperial Lieutenant, Prescott Chandler, has been ordered to provide support on Katonemoydia."

"You must reach the Commenor spaceport, Deep Space Bay, Sector D-14, within six hours."
