Nine Star Burden - Chapter 687
Chapter 687: Night
“Ding! Ding …” The sound of blades clashing against each other came from the slightly dark ruins of calamity and shadow.
At this moment, two figures were fighting fiercely, using the purest giant blade technique without any star techniques to assist them.
The four flame Gu acted as torches, drawing a square. In the square, there were flashes of swords and sparks from the friction of the steel giant blades.
Not far away, Xia Yan hugged her knees and sat on the straw mat, watching the two figures fighting in the arena with an almost infatuated look.
One of them was Jiang Xiao.
The other one was Jiang Xiao.
To Xia Yan, this was perhaps the most precious dual-handed weapon combat lesson in the world. What was even more terrifying was that such classes were available every day, and Xia Yan became the only student who enjoyed it and had special lessons every day.
On the first day of Jiang Xiao’s match, another audience member supported Han Jiangxue. However, Han Jiangxue only watched the fun and then went to cultivate her star power. Xia Yan, on the other hand, was extremely reluctant to give up on any details.
A two-handed sword and a two-handed giant blade would always have something in common.
The two of them, who had completely shut off their synesthesia, had become two independent individuals and the best training partners for each other.
However, the two of them had the same giant blade technique, and it could even be said that they were exactly the same. If they wanted to determine who was better, of course, there had to be an X Factor.
The so-called “x Factor” might be a STAR technique or a star map.
The rules that Jiang Xiao had set for himself were that he was not allowed to use star techniques. Hence, the star map seemed to have become the key element to determine the outcome.
Jiang Xiao’s star map was the Big Dipper.
On the other hand, the star map that was used to bait Jiang Xiao was “gaudy blade”, or “flower blade” for short.
Just as Xia Yan had wished, Jiang Xiao, the decoy, really pulled out the Crimson Flower blade!
Besides, he didn’t abandon the giant steel sword in his hand. At this moment, the weapon that he was supposed to be holding with both hands became a single-handed one. The decoy Jiang Xiao was holding two giant swords in his hands and his skills were also getting better.
Both Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao did not expect that their two-handed weapons would become one-handed weapons and that they would be holding one in each hand.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, was also driven into a corner. In the past half a month, the two of them had almost been on par.
Finally, the original Jiang Xiao seized the opportunity and almost killed the decoy Jiang Xiao. At the critical moment, the decoy Jiang Xiao pulled out the star map giant sword in his body to block the attack. From then on, the decoy Jiang Xiao began to study this unexpected product.
“Xia family swordsmanship upgraded! Platinum quality level 5!”
A message suddenly appeared in Jiang Xiao’s internal star map, making him overjoyed while he was fighting hard!
Could it be that the bait had taken the right path? The diamond-quality Xia family’s giant sword was a dual-wielding giant sword?
Ding! Ding!
Jiang Xiao suddenly raised his sword in front of him and a layer of Crimson fog surrounded him. The flower blade that was used to bait Jiang Xiao slashed the giant steel sword.
Under the tremendous force, Jiang Xiao’s figure slid backward. He was still struggling to block and had yet to make his next move when the giant steel sword in the decoy Jiang Xiao’s left hand flew out and spun towards him!
Jiang Xiao was shocked and thought, how did you spin the knife so quickly?
Uh … No, how the hell did I spin the knife?
Am I that strong?
The cold tip of the sword touched Jiang Xiao’s shoulder, and his diamond-grade endurance was not to be trifled with. The giant steel sword tore Jiang Xiao’s thin short-sleeved shirt and collided with his shoulder, making a crisp sound.
The original Jiang Xiao focused his attention and prepared to seize the opportunity. Once the other party threw the giant sword at him again, Jiang Xiao was prepared to take the opportunity to snatch it away because he knew the mystery behind it.
Although the senses of the two Jiang xiaos had been cut off, how could the bait use the flick blade as a “conventional method”?
Jiang Xiao was forced to retreat again and again. The flower blade was the main bait and the giant sword was the secondary. Even if he was in the midst of thousands of white ghouls, Jiang Xiao could still defend himself. However, he couldn’t even defend himself when he was facing his other self!
“Xia Yan! Sword, give me the big sword!” Jiang Xiao shouted while retreating.
“Eh?” Xia Yan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly picked up the sword beside her.
“Xia Yan! Don’t give it to me!” Jiang Xiao, the decoy, shouted,”I’ll treat you to red bean smoothie! It’s the same thing I ate yesterday-red beans, crushed peanuts, crushed ice, and some Osmanthus sauce. It was so delicious!”
Xia Yan’s palm stiffened slightly.
Jiang Xiao was immediately displeased and panted heavily while sweating profusely. He then shouted at the bait,””Shameless! I’ll be the one treating! I’m paying for it, what does it have to do with you?”
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, was amused and said from an interesting angle,””I’m scolding myself?”
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
Xia Yan thought for a while and said,’the two of you …’ Stop fighting, you’ve already achieved the purpose of exercising your body. You look like you’ve just been fished out of the water. Go take a shower and go to sleep. ”
Jiang Xiao immediately stopped and nodded.”Alright, we’ll stop fighting. It’s settled.”
Jiang Xiao’s face stiffened and he stabbed the flower blade into the ground. He grinned and said,””I just realized that I’m so shameless …”
Xia Yan covered her mouth and snickered, but she urged.””Hurry up and go take a shower. It’s making me uncomfortable.”
Jiang Xiao touched his wet forehead and thought to himself, it’s indeed very physically exhausting to train in actual combat. However, it can also achieve the purpose of exercising, especially in an environment rich in star power like the ruins of calamity and shadow. It’ll be much easier to train in there.
Every breath he took and every movement of his muscles were being nourished by the rich star power.
Jiang Xiao opened the spatial gate and Xia Yan’s voice could be heard from afar.””Bring back a red bean smoothie … Two sets. Bring one set for your sister too. ”
Jiang Xiao turned around and closed the door … I was wondering why you were so kind. It turns out that you had a little conspiracy.
Jiang Xiao returned to the house in the maple forest, which was also the house that Xia Yan had rented. He then flashed to the bathroom, took off his wet t-shirt, and wrung the water out …
After some thought, Jiang Xiao turned on the shower and took a shower while washing his clothes.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Xiao walked out of the bathroom with a bath towel wrapped around him and returned to the small bedroom. He put on a long shirt and long pants and looked at the clock on the wall. It was 10:30 … Jiang Xiao thought about it and took the key from the hanging rack at the door before pushing the door open and walking out.
It was possible to wear short-sleeved shirts in the ruins of calamity and shadow, but not outside. Although it was April in the human world, the temperature in the imperial capital was not high.
Jiang Xiao walked in the neighborhood under the dim street lights and felt a breeze blowing in his face. He couldn’t help but wrap his coat around himself.
Today was their team’s Day off. After all, it was a one-day break. Even though the Star Warriors in Beijing had classes during the day, Jiang Xiao still had a lot of free time.
Qin Wangchuan had already given them the exact information that the day after tomorrow would be the day they set off for Tianjin’s shadow cave. It was indeed a fortunate thing that the Xia family’s swordsmanship had reached platinum quality level 5 before the expedition.
Jiang Xiao was also thinking about whether the dual-wielding giant sword that he had unintentionally developed was the diamond technique of the Xia family swordsmanship.
“Ha …. Jiang Xiao took a deep breath. In fact, he still had something that he was confused about.
Ever since the bait was chewed up by the big fish half a month ago, he did not return to Beijiang province immediately or go to the snowfield to deliver his bait.
Jiang Xiao had a clear understanding of himself. He was too weak.
Even if senior He Yun had the intention to help and protect him, a simple emergency could easily take his life.
Jiang Xiao’s physical fitness was not up to standard, and half a second was enough to determine his life and death.
Jiang Xiao had the STAR technique perception, but he still couldn’t escape from the huge mouth of the big fish. Although part of the reason was because of He Yun’s misjudgment, most of it was because of Jiang Xiao.
The blind girl and he Yun had jumped out half a second earlier, and they had jumped even higher, so they had survived.
Jiang Xiao sighed in his heart and walked along the road dejectedly.
Of course, there were also dangers on earth, but they were on a different level from the alien planet. Jiang Xiao would be a piece of cake if he appeared on the alien planet, and he would also be a “piece of cake” that would implicate senior He Yun.
He Yun, who was in the strange ball, was not bait. Jiang Xiao was afraid that senior he would really die one day because he was protecting Jiang Xiao, the bait.
Hence, Jiang Xiao doubled his efforts in training, perspiring profusely and training like a dead dog every day and night, in order to reach the Galaxy stage as soon as possible.
If it weren’t for the fact that the ice-sealing clan’s ice tyrant was unwilling to bully the weak, Jiang Xiao would have died in the hands of the ice soul without even seeing senior He Yun.
He felt like an iron-headed younger brother. He was clearly a thin and weak primary school student, but he forced his way into the adult world and stirred up a storm.
How detestable!
Why did you let me come into contact with such a high-level existence in my second year?
I’m bearing a heavy burden that I shouldn’t have at my age …
If the main body went up, whoever it was, they would all be healed to death!
However, he was just trying to vent his anger. How could Jiang Xiao’s original body go up to the strange ball? he wasn’t that impulsive.
Jiang Xiao kicked away the small stones on the side of the road and thought to himself, I’ll find an excuse to go to the snowfield again after this experience in the shadow cave.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well stay in Beijiang province and not implicate He Yun. He would ask Jiang Xiao to go to Fen city and check the border to see if there was a so-called Dragon Cave there.
If one thought about it this way, it would be difficult to match star techniques.
Jiang Xiao thought about it again and again and decided to let the bait go up with the flower blade star map. He would have a full set of combat star techniques and wouldn’t need any more endurance.
For someone at Jiang Xiao’s level, most of the creatures he encountered would be killed with one blow, and there would be no need for him to recuperate.
Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks. Star Warriors University was located in the capital, and there were many commercial streets. Jiang Xiao looked up at the signboard and walked into a milk tea shop.
Although it was very late, there were still couples inside, sitting at the small table and talking and laughing affectionately.
They were indeed out of place with Jiang Xiao.
As a person who was constantly on the brink of death, Jiang Xiao’s mentality was indeed not what a college student should have.
The students in the milk tea shop were slightly taken aback by Jiang Xiao’s appearance. However, as students of Star Warriors Academy in Beijing, they didn’t shout out loud. Instead, they whispered to each other and took out their mobile phones to take pictures secretly.
A couple even took the opportunity to sneak up on Jiang Xiao and ask for his autograph softly while he was queuing up.
15 minutes later, Jiang Xiao walked out of the milk tea shop with a paper bag containing three red bean smoothies.
He turned around to look at the warm atmosphere and the warm people in the milk tea shop … Life was so damn good!
Bzzzz … Whoosh …
Jiang Xiao’s pocket vibrated and he took out his mobile phone in shock.
It was a message from hai Tianqing. “I’m getting married. ”
So, all the beautiful things came together?
Jiang Xiao edited the text and sent it.
Hai Tianqing said,”not soon. We’ve been proposing to each other for more than half a year. If we delay any longer, your teacher Fang will forget about my proposal. I’ll have to ask him again.”
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
Hai Tianqing said,”you won the World Cup last time and I managed to get a successful proposal thanks to you. What would it be like if I were to propose again?” And wait for you to win the World Cup team competition next year?”
With a strange expression on his face, Jiang Xiao typed,””Sure, next year’s team competition’s Championship will definitely be mine.”
World Cup team competition?
Go, why not?
It was a rare opportunity to earn skill points, so of course he had to go.
Besides, if Jiang Xiao didn’t go, he would be letting down Vice-Principal yang and Chen San. The former principal was so good to him and gave him the green light in school. He even contacted star pets and looked for star beads. It wouldn’t be right for Jiang Xiao to not participate.
Besides, Gu Shi ‘an and Xia Yan were also waiting. Having such a title would only be beneficial to the future of everyone in the team.
It was also Jiang Xiao’s honor to be able to win honor for China and even win the championship.
Hai Tianqing said,”move aside and get down to business. Your teacher Fang isn’t planning to hold a grand banquet. We’re planning to have a small wedding in private. You can be a witness.”
Jiang Xiao was a little puzzled and thought,’teacher Fang comes from a big family. Is she planning to make a small deal out of it? Will your parents agree?”
This time, hai Tianqing did not say anything.
Jiang Xiao was even more puzzled and walked home while waiting with his mobile phone in hand.
He only received a message from hai Tianqing after he entered the maple forest community.””Her family doesn’t agree with us. Her parents also gave her an order to never date me again.”
“What happened?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Hai Tianqing was such a gentle and refined person with a good personality, appearance, and strength. Why would he not agree?
Hai Tianqing sent a message,’in the end, they still found out that I was expelled from the team. Because of me, Xingyun has not been in contact with her family for a long time. ”
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and looked at the message. For a moment, he actually did not know what to say.
Jiang Xiao’s heart was in a mess. He placed the red bean smoothie on the ground and leaned against the door of the building. He then slowly slid down and sat on the ground.”Because of that person … Do you regret it?”
Hai Tianqing said,”let’s not talk about this. I just want to seize the moment. This is the choice that Xingyun and I have made. I think I can take good care of her. One day, her parents and brothers will accept me.”
Jiang Xiao said,”if you want, I can help you plead for mercy. I can speak for you, whether it’s my direct superior or my superior in the Northwest.” Making up for your mistakes is a good word. ”
“What do you mean?” hai Tianqing asked.
Jiang Xiao asked,[do you want to return to the team, fourth last?]
The other end of the phone went silent again …
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and typed, this might make their family accept you better.
Hai Tianqing finally replied,[if the team needs me one day, I’ll do my best.] However, if you beg for mercy and go back, you can forget about it. ”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao picked up the red bean smoothie, stood up, and pressed the voice button.”Tell me the time and place. I’ll be a witness to your wedding.”
“Thank you,” hai Tianqing replied.
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and put his mobile phone into his pocket. You … He shouldn’t have said that.
