Nine Star Burden - Chapter 265
Chapter 265: Little Conflict
Youth indeed makes one feel enthusiastic and excited!
Come on, young man, burn our lives and become a winner!
We’re supposed to fight for our lives, aren’t we?
“What are you saying? Watch your words!” said a young man with distinctly parted hair, standing in front of his teammate Deng Siyang, defending her.
The young man with distinctly parted hair spoke in perfect Mandarin, and in fact, he was not from Southern Guangdong Province.
A prestigious school like Great Bay High School would definitely go around poaching talents. Of course, plenty of parents brought their children from miles away in a bid to get a place in the school.
The young man with the distinctly parted hair and Deng Siyang were transfer students from other provinces, and they had definitely sucked up to their teammates to become the first echelon of the school.
“It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding,” Jiang Xiao said while standing in front of Xia Yan. He then tried to stop the conflict by saying smilingly, “What she meant was that you guys can look for Room 2324 by yourselves. Don’t disturb us when we’re having a conversation.”
“Hmph, in that case, speak properly. Don’t have such a foul mouth,” the young man with the distinctly parted hair retorted while glowering at Xia Yan.
The teacher frantically stopped the young man and exclaimed, “Gong Yuge!”
Jiang Xiao’s face grew sullen and he said, “Since none of you are blind, don’t come and disturb us.”
Seeing that Jiang Xiao refused to give in, Gong Yuge questioned, “What’s wrong with asking? Does it bother you?”
Jiang Xiao suddenly laughed and said, “If you don’t wish to use your cornea, you can donate it to those in need.”
Gong Yuge pushed him and urged, “Say something, damn it!”
Refusing to admit defeat, Jiang Xiao pushed him back and yelled, “Yes, I’m saying it to you!”
Compared to the girls, it seemed more reasonable for the two guys to fight each other.
Once they start fighting, a strong tension would form in the air!
Li Weiyi’s expression changed and he frantically pushed forward. As the Shield Warrior of the team, he definitely knew his responsibilities.
Everyone frantically lit up all sorts of Star Techniques and colorful energy filled the elevator.
Gong Yuge really didn’t expect it. Jiang Xiao actually wasn’t afraid of his team at all. He thought, Are they not scared of Yuan Qinghua? They actually dared to insult us? Do they really not know who we are?
The leading teachers of both teams were dumbfounded. If they were to get into a fight, both teams would very likely be disqualified from the competition!
The group of children was young and vigorous, and they were so angst that they would be easily triggered.
Jiang Xiao couldn’t be bothered at all, he just wanted them to shut up!
He threw out a shot of Sound of Silence, determined to subdue them even though they had a member in the Galaxy Stage!
Jiang Xiao didn’t care what kind of Star Techniques they were going to display or what they wanted to do. While they were restraining their Star Techniques and breathing irregularly, Jiang Xiao immediately threw out his right fist.
Bang!
His nose bridge was very brittle, and the sound was crisp.
Gong Yuge was stuck in the range of Sound of Silence, and his shriek sounded a little strange.
Originally, he was still suppressing the Star Power surging about in his body in extreme discomfort. Yet, he was punched.
To be honest, if Jiang Xiao really wanted to decrease their vitality, he should aim for his jaw, not his face.
Because Jiang Xiao wanted some bloodshed.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to vent his anger.
Gong Yuge retreated because of the attack. His nose bridge was broken and his fresh blood flowed. The teacher and Yuan Qinghua hurriedly took the opportunity to protect the other students behind them and backed away.
Similarly, Hai Tianqing pulled Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan back.
The battle was resolved as the two parties were pulled apart. Being in the domain of the Sound of Silence was extremely uncomfortable. The Star Power in his body surged chaotically in his body and his breathing grew irregular. It was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t speak.
No one would expect for such a small matter to escalate to such an extent.
After all, the students were all Awakened and they had been training every day and night, killing monsters and creatures of other dimensions. To them, fighting fellow humans was rather rare and uncommon.
“Go, go!” exclaimed the teacher leading the other team. She hurriedly dragged Gong Yuge and Deng Siyang away, together with Yuan Qinghua and another student.
They were elites that would be entering the semi-finals! They definitely couldn’t afford to get kicked out of the competition.
They had suffered an unexpected failure today, but for the sake of a better future, Gong Yuge had to bear with the indignation and grievances even if he didn’t want to.
Only by tolerating would he be able to have a better tomorrow!
A little tolerance would go a long way!
In fact, Gong Yuge was incredibly infuriated as he was dragged back.
The more he tried to tolerate it and compromise, the angrier he got…
Ding-dong!
The two teams disappeared immediately and the elevator reached the 23rd floor at the same time. A group of teenagers exited the elevator and they acutely sensed that something was wrong.
Among them was a tall young man at least two meters tall. He coughed twice, and the range of Sound of Silence gradually disappeared. The tall young man gibed. “We were too late for the show.”
“I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we’re safe and healthy,” said a young man with a buzz cut and about 1.7 meters tall.
A tall young man put a hand on his forehead and said, “Auntie Wenren, can you be a normal teenager from Haisu, just like me?”
“Why am I not normal?” Wen Renmu immediately questioned in displeasure. “I’m telling you…”
As soon as the team representing Haisu Province walked out of the elevator, the team representing Beijiang Province had already entered Room 2336.
“You were too impulsive! You were really too impulsive. If you get into a conflict with them, we will very likely be disqualified from the competition for violating the rules.” Hai Tianqing reprimanded with a stern expression while glowering at Jiang Xiao who was being pushed onto the bed, no longer smiling like usual.
Jiang Xiao was unexpectedly calm and his expression was normal. He said slowly, “It’s alright. When he pushed me, I already condensed Sound of Silence, and when I pushed him back, I’d already thrown it. Under the restrictions of Sound of Silence, we won’t be able to get into a fight.”
Hai Tianqing was dumbfounded.
He continued, “I saw Yuan Qinghua as soon as they appeared. They’re clearly the elite team of Great Bay High School. They won’t get embroiled with us. After all, they do have something to lose. And we don’t. Or at least, that’s what they think.”
Hai Tianqing was at a loss for words too.
Jiang Xiao said, “For humans, the important thing is to be happy and comfortable. I’m not going to let my teammates feel aggrieved.”
Everyone turned to look at him, but no one noticed that he had referred to himself as the leader, even though he was the healer of the team and had been resorting to various means to protect his teammates.
Xia Yan turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao, knowing that he was just standing up for her. All of a sudden, she didn’t know what to say.
She wasn’t too sure about her emotions towards him at this juncture. She was touched, heartened, grateful, and so on. In short, her emotions were complicated. However, she was very sure that she felt rather pleased to see Gong Yuge’s face covered in fresh blood.
Jiang Xiao casually added, “I can’t tolerate bullies.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yan pressed her hand on his head and rubbed it gently.
She didn’t do it out of annoyance, but rather out of admiration.
Jiang Xiao tilted his head to dodge her palm and thought, It would be fine if you rub my head. I’ll just take it that the husky is throwing a tantrum.
But it doesn’t seem right for you to be in awe of me like this, right?
Owners are always the ones to show affection for their huskies. Since when has it been the other way around?
Xia Yan said, “Thanks, Xiaopi. You’re indeed reliable.”
Jiang Xiao shrugged and his eyes lit up slightly. “Is this thank you worth 49,800 yuan?”
She glanced at him with contempt and said, “It’s worth 4.98 yuan.”
Jiang Xiao answered, “Oh.”
Xia Yan asked, “How dare you ‘oh’ me? Only my Xuexue can answer me with ‘oh’ or ‘hehe’!”
The situation in Room 2336 was rather stable, but the air in Room 2324 was filled with scolding.
Deng Siyang placed a hand on Gong Yuge’s face, with a white fog emanating from her hand healing him. She cussed. “Damn it, how unlucky. We’re really out of luck today.”
Gong Yuge said in a funny voice, “Beijiang, huh? I know that girl. She should be Han Jiangxue.”
Deng Siyang said coldly, “What’s the point of having 30 star slots? They’d better not let me see them in the Ancient Imperial Mausoleum.”
Gong Yuge chimed in. “That was Sound of Silence earlier on, right? Let me think of a way to deal with that bastard.”
Deng Siyang finally healed Gong Yuge’s bleeding face and gibed derisively. “They’re a bunch of weaklings who will be eliminated in the preliminary round. We won’t run into them.”
After giving it some thought, Gong Yuge felt much better and said, “You’re right.”
