Nine Star Burden - Chapter 213
Chapter 213: Champion!
Wow…
Beijiang Province Star Warriors Association, you guys are really impressive.
I used to think that Xia Shanhai was really generous, but it turns out that you guys are the real generous ones.
Why? Have you guys finally lost your patience because the students of Beijiang Province have been at the bottom of the ranks for the National League and got beaten up badly in the past few years?
Jiang Xiao’s ideas were somewhat biased. The Beijiang Province Star Warriors Association decided to give the students such rewards, undoubtedly because they wanted to motivate students to train, grow, and strive for better results.
However, the probability of the high school students acquiring a Gold Quality Star Technique in the Nebula Stage was too low.
The high school students with Gold Quality Star Techniques, such as Gao Junwei’s Roar of Fear, Yu Zhen’s Dark Blue Scepter, Wu Haoyang’s Howl, and the An sisters’ Gray-white Scepter, had all obtained them by spending a bomb on the Star Techniques.
Xia Yan had already absorbed two Gold Quality Star Beads of the Ape Ghoul Kings, but she didn’t even see the Body of Star Power Star Technique at all.
They reckoned that the vast majority of people would not absorb the Fallen Shadow series Star Beads and would probably wait until after the Galaxy Stage to try their luck.
When would this group of kids reach the Galaxy Stage?
They would probably have to wait until they went to university and enter society.
By then, the National High School League would have long been over.
After all, well-connected and wealthy people like the An sisters were few and far between.
“What’s your reward?” Jiang Xiao bumped Xia Yan’s shoulder and asked softly.
As the leaders gave out the Star Beads one by one, the organizers asked the students to take photos with the leaders. Jiang Xiao asked Xia Yan that question while smiling and holding the flowers in his hands.
“I’ve always been beside you. Didn’t you hear when the chick in the cheongsam introduced the reward?” Xia Yan asked as she got into her pose and smiled at the photographer in the distance, squeezing those words through her teeth and trying her best not to move her lips.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
I was looking at the Star Beads in the internal Star Map just now.
Besides, you don’t like me, so why are you stricter with me than Little Jiangxue is?
Since you won’t tell me, I’ll see for myself.
Jiang Xiao reached out and secretly touched the small square box in Xia Yan’s hand from below.
Xia Yan was rather gracious. In order to prevent Jiang Xiao from touching her hand, she tossed the small square box out directly.
Um…
She didn’t exactly throw it, she just let go.
The small square box fell directly into Jiang Xiao’s hands.
Jiang Xiao grabbed it, lifted the lid, and looked at it!
–
Fallen Shadow Thorn Star Bead (Gold Quality)
Star Technique:
Shadow Blade: Launches a revolving Shadow Blade, slight chance of triggering soul damage (Brass Quality, Upgradeable)
Shadow Blade Protection: Summon several revolving Shadow Blades, attacking all enemies in the vicinity. Slight chance of causing soul damage to the enemies. (Silver Quality, Upgradeable)
Fury of Shadow Blade: Casts plenty of sharp Shadow Blades that come with soul damage, tears up the enemies (Gold Quality, Upgradeable)
Would you like to absorb it together?
–
Tsk, this Fallen Shadow Thorn is kind of impressive.
Jiang Xiao’s throat moved a little, feeling surprised that it was a Fallen Shadow Thorn.
In that case, did Han Jiangxue gain the Fallen Shadow Demon Star Bead as a reward?
The Fallen Shadow Demon was the strongest creature in the cave and a terrifying existence of the Platinum Quality!
Four Star Techniques!
Three Gold Quality and one Platinum Quality! Outrageously terrifying!
After taking photos with the leaders, Jiang Xiao returned the small square box to Xia Yan, leaned closer towards Han Jiangxue, and asked, “Which Star Bead did you get?”
Han Jiangxue said, “Grab the trophy and take a picture. ”
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
Didn’t we already finish taking photos? Again?
Han Jiangxue gently patted Jiang Xiao’s shoulder and said, “This time, there are no outsiders, just the four of us. This is the first milestone in our lives.”
The first milestone in your life?
Jiang Xiao said softly, “The first milestone in my life was coming in first place during the battle of the military training program and advancing to Year Three to join your team. That competition was not significant, but it was the most important one in my life.”
Jiang Xiao was preoccupied with the Fallen Shadow Demon Star Bead and so casually spoke from the bottom of his heart.
As he spoke, he reused his old tricks and quietly took the delicate small box from Han Jiangxue.
However, the information displayed on his internal Star Map was “Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead”.
Shouldn’t it be the Platinum Quality Fallen Shadow Demon? Is the reward for the Rules Awakened commander, still the “Fallen Shadow Witch” Star Bead?
Well, reasonably speaking, all three Star Techniques are suitable for the Rules Awakened.
While Jiang Xiao was lamenting, Han Jiangxue was slightly stunned.
At the next moment, a smile formed on her icy cold face, making her look elegant and charming.
When cold and aloof girls like her, who usually had a straight face, smiled, the lethality was extremely astonishing.
Han Jiangxue seemed to have been touched by Jiang Xiao’s words, perhaps because he had tugged at her heartstrings. Xia Yan was absolutely charmed and dazzled by her genuine smile…
“I hereby announce that the most valuable student of the 2016 Beijiang Provincial High School League is…” Amidst the shock, Jiang Xiao seemed to hear something terrible.
Most valuable student?
MVP?
Damn it, how did I forget such an important award?
“Han Jiangxue from Jiangbin High School,” the host exclaimed, sparking an uproar amongst the spectators who cheered with great enthusiasm.
Han Jiangxue’s smile gradually faded and she returned to her usual state. She then nodded slightly at the spectators.
During the competition, Han Jiangxue was undoubtedly the one who gave opportunities for the students of Jiangbin High School by using her Flame Torch Whip to pull the An sisters away, causing the opposing Rules Awakened to panic and stop the Snowstorm.
Moreover, Wu Haoyang, the strongest enemy, was also taken out of the arena by her.
Although Wu Haoyang was poked out of the arena by Jiang Xiao’s hand, the sensible ones could tell that Jiang Xiao was controlled by Han Jiangxue.
In addition, Han Jiangxue was also the commander of the team. She did deserve to be the MVP.
When he heard the title of “Most Valuable Student”, Wu Haoyang stopped and looked at Han Jiangxue with an extremely complicated gaze that was filled with envy and regret. He felt that the award should have belonged to him.
“Let’s invite Mr. Wang Qin, the vice-chairman of the Beijiang Province Star Warriors Association, to present the award to the Most Valuable Student of this cohort.”
The reward consisted of fresh flowers, trophies, and… an unknown Star Bead.
Will it be the Star Bead of the Fallen Shadow Demon?
When Han Jiangxue handed the small box to Jiang Xiao to take a look, he felt extremely complicated.
The reward for the MVP is still the Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead?
So, Little Jiangxue and I now have a total of three Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads!?!
What do you guys mean?
Are you trying hard to tempt me into absorbing them?
Although these Star Beads may not be available for purchase and I may not be able to see them within a short period of time, the number of Star Beads we have now should be enough to upgrade the Brass Quality Enmity and Silver Quality Counter-current Light?
After all, these Star Beads are of Gold Quality.
1 Gold Quality = 10 Silver Quality = 100 Brass Quality = 100 Skill Points.
Uh…
Jiang Xiao knew that as long as he requested for it, Han Jiangxue would definitely give him those Star Beads, but it was not like him to ask for it.
As a man, how can one be so shameless?
Jiang Xiao turned his head to look at Han Jiangxue and said, “Give me these Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads.”
Han Jiangxue nodded casually and said, “Okay, take them.”
Jiang Xiao said, “Sure~”
…
“Li Weiyi, give Jiang Xiaopi the trophy, let him sit on the ground in front. Xiaopi! Hurry up, sit in the middle and hold the championship trophy in your arms!” the teacher suddenly yelled from below the stage. “The three of you stand in the back row. Han Jiangxue, you hold the MVP trophy!”
Hai Tianqing said with a smile, “You guys, listen up. Cooperate with the teacher. This photo is to be brought back to the school to be framed up.”
After everyone posed and smiled, Hai Tianqing nodded in satisfaction, and the teacher at the side pressed the shutter button.
The champions of the 2016 Beijiang Provincial High School League!
Jiang Xiao was sitting on the stage with the big championship trophy smiling unnaturally, seemingly feeling dismayed.
Xia Yan held onto Han Jiangxue’s arm and bit on the medal, seemingly delighted.
Han Jiangxue stood behind Jiang Xiao, holding the MVP trophy in her hand with a slight smile.
Li Weiyi posed with the cheesy but classic peace sign.
Under the heavy snowfall, a precious scene in the noisy Red Sun Stadium was captured.
