Nine Star Burden - Chapter 64
Chapter 64: Beijiang Medical Troops
“Not bad, this battle tactic is unexpected. It seems to have involved some personal grudges. The effects are superb. After watching seven battles, I finally saw some tricks and strategies. I wonder who the commander of Class 2 is,” the man in the military uniform said smilingly.
“The commander is said to be the elder Zhu brother,” Principal Yan said with a smile.
“The one on the left seems more reliable than the one on the right. His basic skills are more solid than the one on the right too,” said the man in the military uniform.
“We’ll be using the video recording of this battle as teaching material. Although they are very young and inexperienced in every aspect, they have realized the essence of the battle: attacking emotionally and physically. Besides, I doubt anyone would expect Blessing to be so miraculous and useful,” said Principal Yan.
“Something doesn’t seem quite right. Principal Yan, even if it’s their first experience, the children of Class 1 shouldn’t have been so badly affected,” the man in the military uniform said apprehensively.
“That kid’s Blessing is Silver Quality,” Principal Yan explained.
“Huh?” The man in military uniform froze for a moment and thought, Silver Quality? Such a rare quality… Oh right, his parents are Han Cheng and Jiang Hongye.
“He’s a lucky boy. Even though his qualifications are unprecedentedly low, I wonder how he even absorbed those Star Techniques.” President Yan sighed and continued emotionally, “However, I must reward him with Medical Star Beads.”
“Amongst our resources, Bell is quite a good Medical Star Technique for group therapy.” The man in military uniform said, but he soon continued dejectedly, “Principal Yan, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but if what you said is true, he really may not be able to acquire Bell even if we give him 100 Lava Ghoul Star Beads. It’s already extremely lucky of him to be able to acquire Silver Quality Blessing.”
Upon hearing this, Principal Yan shook his head in his heart and thought, Jiang Xiaopi already has Bell…
It was indeed rather ironic because Jiang Xiaopi was clearly a lowly-qualified kid and yet, he managed to acquire three Star Techniques, which didn’t seem too plausible.
However, the truth was that Jiang Xiaopi really had three Silver Quality Star Techniques.
After giving it some thought, Principal Yan felt that he could only credit that to Jiang Xiaopi’s parents. He reckoned that Jiang Xiaopi must have squandered away plenty of their family’s fortune. He must have acquired those Star Techniques because his parents sheltered and protected him endlessly, right?
What should I give this kid as a reward?
I can just reward the Zhu brothers and that Eurasian girl according to the rewards set by the school. What kind of Star Bead should I give the Medical Awakened who’s one in a hundred?
After all, Jiang Xiao is in the Stardust Stage and already owns three Star Techniques. In other words, he can at most acquire one more Star Technique. If I want him to continue bringing glory to the school, I must think about which Star Bead will be suitable for him.
Everyone on stage began gossiping amongst themselves while the students of Class 2 Year One cheered joyously. There was an uproar amongst the viewers of Su Rou’s live-stream too.
“Damn it… what kind of healer is that?”
“It’s a damned battle healer!”
“No, he’s a burden!”
“What happened to the happiness he promised?”
“What happened to the medical troops? Why did you put away your medical bag and pick up the M4 weapon instead?”
“Does anyone know if that Star Technique really is Blessing or not!?!”
“I was given ‘Blessing’ countless of times before. Trust me, it really feels awesome, especially when you’re young. It almost feels like an orgasm that you can’t control.”
“You mean, you’d be able to control it when you’re middle-aged?”
“Brother, isn’t that a little too exaggerated? I’m an Awakened too, and I’m in Year Three of college this year. I also have a Medical Awakened in my team. It does feel great to receive a Blessing, but it’s not… that pleasurable, is it?”
“Godly technique of Beijiang! My god!”
“Toxic Healer Jiang Xiaopi! Please come to me!”
“Ah~ I must bring a Medical Awakened boy home.”
“I’ll kiss him in the morning, and at night…”
“Colds, fever, sinus, tuberculosis, cramps, and low libido levels.
He can cure them all!
Beijiang Medical troop, your one and only choice!”
“…”
Jiang Xiao obtained another Skill Point and was beyond elated.
It seemed that the competition would be uploaded online regardless of what happened to the opponent.
If he won, he would receive one Skill Point. Jiang Xiao could not help but be excited.
For the Awakened students, there were plenty of competitions organized by the school, and every team that obtained victory would be given one Skill Point. Great!
All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao did not want to be promoted to Year Three and instead, he wanted to stay behind in Year One…
He wanted to be a big fish in the small pond. Shouldn’t it be interesting and happy?
Why must I be a small fish in a big pond? If Xia Yan attacks me, I’ll die immediately.
“Student, please return to your base camp,” the referee said to Gao Junwei, clearly knowing who he was and what he was going to do next.
“I’m waiting for you to challenge me, little bastard!” Gao Junwei said after giving it some thought. He then turned around and left.
It seems that he is a lot stronger than his younger brother. Well, at least, he didn’t come up straight to beat me up. Of course, Jiang Xiao did wish for that to be the case.
Every mistake made by his opponent would help Jiang Xiao advance closer to his goals.
The students managed to assemble within minutes and the prize-giving ceremony officially began.
“May the representative of Class 3 step up to receive the award.”
While the students cheered, the four Awakened students of Class 4 walked onto the large platform, bowed to the leaders on the stage, and received an encouraging pat on their shoulders from Principal Yan Yan, who gave each of them a shining Star Bead.
It seemed that Principal Yan was very kind.
Jiang Xiao already had enough to awe and marvel at in this strange world. Jiangbin High School was the top-ranking prestigious school in Beijiang Province. As the principal of this school, Principal Yan was definitely powerful and of great status.
Jiang Xiao did not expect him to be so personable and grounded.
It was a little sadder for the first runner-up because there was only one person on the stage to receive the award—the “Black Bear” that still had fighting abilities. The other three had been sent to the medical office in school.
It was finally the time for the champions to receive the award.
While the Class 2 students cheered with excitement, the group of four in Class 2 stood in a row, without any missing members, and walked boldly towards the large podium in front.
Jiang Xiao bowed properly and felt that there was no need to act out of the norm here. However, before accepting the award, he noticed that the man in the military uniform was rather warm and enthusiastic towards Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao had long exhibited his Blessing Star Technique in front of soldier Pi Keqiu, but the military officials had never looked for him before. Why? Are they interested in me now? How conflicting.
However, that was not the case, and the internal structure of the army was extremely complicated. The army stationed in Jian’nan Village was not from the same squad as the soldiers here.
It may be that the soldiers in Jian’nan Village didn’t care much about Jiang Xiao’s nine star slots while the man in the military uniform seemed to be more interested in Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao had no idea because he was already keeping his eyes glued onto the award that the principal was handing him!
It was a glowing, tiny Star Bead.
There was no need for the teacher to explain at all, as a series of information flooded Jiang Xiao’s mind.
Jiang Xiao got a great shock after taking a look.
He knew that Medical Awakened were precious and highly coveted and so would receive better resources, but…
