Nine Star Burden - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Mode of Transport

“Stop, stopped?” Zhu Wen also noticed that something was wrong with the situation and he could no longer be bothered to look out for Zhu Wu who had been overturned. Instead, he frantically rushed to give Jiang Xiao some aid.

However, due to the fact that Gao Junwei chose to target Zhu Wu, Zhu Wen was the furthest away from Gao Junwei.

Along the way, Jiang Xiao managed to stop Gao Junwei.

Zhu Wen then witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Jiang Xiao actually got into such an intense battle with Gao Junwei that victory was undecided.

Due to the fact that Gao Junwei’s Star Power was almost exhausted, Jiang Xiao continuously tried to hit him.

Zhu Wen approached the team and wondered, What is going on now? When did this kid become so strong? Was he hiding his abilities in the past?

Although Jiang Xiao’s Freehand Combat had only risen by one small level, the accumulation resulted in an upgrade of quality.

There was a qualitative improvement from Brass Quality Level 9 to Silver Quality Level 0!

Due to the fact that Jiang Xiao used his Skill Point to forcibly advance his Basic Technique, Freehand Combat, Jiang Xiao’s brain was filled with a large amount of information about Freehand Combat at this moment. Not only was there an increase in Jiang Xiao’s understanding, but it also seemed to unlock something extraordinary.

What is this? Is this Muay Thai?

There were some moves that resembled the Chinese kickboxing moves that Lei Jin taught them in school. In fact, the moves were almost the same, though there were actually great differences.

The numerous Star Techniques were integrated into Jiang Xiao’s brain and body. Jiang Xiao, who had not been trained much in the relevant Star Techniques, simply felt that he had been immersed for a long time.

Although he had yet to master it, his basic skills were still rather solid.

It would be better to master one skill than be a jack of all trades. At this moment, Jiang Xiao was filled with regret, for he did not expect his Freehand Combat to be so useful.

After the quality of his Freehand Combat was increased, he received some Muay Thai moves and not an advancement in the skills that he had already learned.

Jiang Xiao, who was slightly dumbfounded, managed to stop Gao Junwei and his brain seemed to no longer be able to keep up with his body as it continuously allowed his body to react. Jiang Xiao’s fighting style became extremely ruthless and shrewd, and his aura changed immediately.

Kick? Why did I feel an urge to raise my leg and kick at this moment? I should clearly be punching at this moment?

Gao Junwei launched a kick at Jiang Xiao. While Jiang Xiao was feeling conflicted, he dodged and struck Gao Junwei with a low sweeping kick instead of punching, which landed on Gao Junwei’s inner knee.

Gao Junwei twitched and his body tipped towards the side forcefully. However, Jiang Xiao did not act according to the rules nor did he prop his arms up to defend himself and maintain distance. Seemingly not planning to wait for the next round at all, Jiang Xiao gave Gao Junwei an overhand right punch before the latter and himself could even react.

…

“Kid, have you been bluffing me all this while?” Zhu Wen charged into the battlefield like a bull. Gao Junwei, whose Star Power was depleting, could no longer even retaliate. If anyone were to give him some Star Power to help him recover, he wouldn’t end up in such a state.

Jiang Xiao didn’t have time to answer at all. After a few rounds, he began to feel more comfortable with the Star Techniques that were getting integrated. He became more skillful with maneuvering too.

He watched as his elder brother Zhu Wen punched Gao Junwei in his iron elbows and made the latter stagger back a few steps. He then opened his arms and tried to maintain his balance.

It was at this moment that Jiang Xiao finally moved. He leaped forward as his right leg was covered in thick Star Power, after which he dashed forward and blasted a pit in the soft turf.

Jiang Xiao had taken flight!

Jiang Xiao raised his right leg and immediately dashed out.

The strike to the knee was extremely fast and menacing, as it directly hit Gao Junwei in his open chest!

Everything happened too quickly, and everything was settled.

In reality, Jiang Xiao was aiming his knee at Gao Junwei’s jaw, but during the specific execution, he seemed to have some problems with channeling his Star Power.

Jiang Xiao rushed upwards diagonally, but there was a huge impact because the height wasn’t high enough.

Bang!

There was a loud noise that seemed to drown out even the screams. Jiang Xiao was still rushing forward with his knees raised as he flew at low altitude, after which his knee struck Gao Junwei’s chest, propelling the latter backward.

Green Glow also played an important role at this moment. No matter how fast Jiang Xiao was, Gao Junwei was still blasted away.

Amidst the exclamations, Jiang Xiao landed steadily and stared at Gao Junwei who was falling in front of him. Jiang Xiao then charged forward again.

Extra attack!

Repeating the important instructions 10,000 times!

Jiang Xiao finally returned to “self” and looked at Gao Junwei who was lying on the ground feebly, unsure if the latter was still alive or not. Jiang Xiao scurried and leaped up into the sky again, after which his right elbow began glowing with rich Green Glow.

Jiang Xiao’s signature move: Supplement Attack!

Resenting all movie and TV characters who do not help to supplement attacks!

Countless movies and television series sparked resentment within the viewers!

There were countless ways to launch supplementary attacks, but this was Jiang Xiao’s favorite.

“Ah! Ahhh!”

“F***, I’m going crazy!”

“It’s so damn awesome.”

“That force, that perfect grasp of timing, that quick execution, that basic skill!”

“Wonderful. Superb.”

“Who told me that he’s just a healer!?!”

The referee didn’t realize what the audience could see. Unlike the students, he didn’t feel immersed, nor did he think that it was impressive for a Year One student to defeat a Year Three team of School Tyrants. He simply did his best to blow the whistle.

Jiang Xiao, who was flying and falling fast, was startled when he heard the whistle, after which he hurriedly hid Green Glow that was on his elbow. However, the angle and his speed…

Jiang Xiao hurriedly spread his arms in a bid to press them against the turf to slow down the impact, but he plunged straight into Gao Junwei’s arms.

…

“So, he still loves him, after all.”

“Look, he’s lying on top of him and the two of them are just gliding on the tender grass. How romantic.”

“Seriously speaking, when he ignored everything and pounced on him, so much was going through my mind.”

“Maybe this is true love.”

“Hey? Host? Did you capsize! We can’t see anything!”

“Host, why the heck are your hands shaking? Hurry and pick your mobile phone up. It fell onto the ground!”

“Hey, why has the screen turned black? Has the live-stream been switched off?”

“I want to watch the show!”

“Cut it out, the three of them opposite didn’t take part in the battle at all. The Year One rascals won only because there’s an internal conflict in the Year Three team.”

“How embarrassing. It’s supposed to be the battle of the highest honor in the school. Yet, they acted like they were playing a fool. What a disgrace to Beijiang.”

“Why didn’t you say anything when your Idol Wei challenged the Year Two students all by himself? Weren’t you yelling and cheering for your impressive idol? Why is it unfair for him to take them on alone now?”

“It’s good enough for them to defeat just one of the School Tyrants. Look at those greenhorns from Year Two. They didn’t even manage to last one round. They were frightened into scurrying away by just two of his roars.”

“Jiang Xiaopi, why did you leap into another man’s embrace? I’m so jealous and angry. You… have my blessing!”

The impact was really too massive, and the turf was smooth and slippery. Jiang Xiao and Gao Junwei seemed like football players who scored a goal as they glided on the ground.

Yi Lianna, who had been watching the battle, happened to be standing at the spot where they would be passing by. She then raised her leg and stepped on Gao Junwei’s shoulder. Finally, they stopped.

Yi Lianna bent forward, stuck a hand out and pulled Jiang Xiao up with a joyous smile on her face.

Su Rou picked up her mobile phone and happened to capture this scene.

“Turns out, he’s just his mode of transport.”

“Mode of transport?”

“His mode of transport towards another woman.”

“I thought that true love existed in this world.”

“Remember! This is your brother who can sacrifice everything for your happiness, even if it means he has to become a skateboard.”

“Yeah, brothers are just like underwear. Regardless of thick and thin, they’ll always be there to support you.”

“…”

In the arena, Han Jiangxue again confirmed. “We admit defeat.”

Everyone cheered after she finished speaking!

The freshmen of Batch 15 had obtained an unprecedented victory in Jiangbin High School.
