Nine Star Burden - Chapter 876
Chapter 876: The essence of human combat techniques?
Translator: 549690339
4th of July, country of will, Bailin city.
After having his breakfast, Jiang Xiao returned to his room to tidy up. He looked at the weapons that were neatly placed in the corner of the clothes rack in the living room and could not help but fall into deep thought.
If nothing unexpected happened, the main weapon of the great Meng Empire’s bow God, hai Rigu, would be the great Meng horn bow. The tip of the bow was thick, and the bowstring pad was also exaggeratedly large.
This weapon had its advantages and disadvantages, but in any case, it showed hai Rigu’s “informal” character and his very mature archery skills.
With the development of society today, there were many kinds of bows, and they were easier to use. However, hai Rigu still followed the tradition of his own people and played with the bow and arrow of his own people.
!!
Hai Rigu’s main weapon was the DA Meng horn bow, but his secondary weapon was a long spear with a hook at the neck.
It was obvious that this special hook was meant for the enemy’s warhorses.
Hai Rigu had a warhorse astral pet. Of course, astral pets could not be used in the world Cup.
Otherwise, Jiang Xiao would have smashed it with the humming whale …
Hai Rigu also had a STAR technique that could summon warhorses, which he could use.
Of course, whether hai Rigu could use it or not still depended on whether Jiang Xiao would allow him to use it.
Jiang Xiao walked to the corner of the clothes rack and picked up his heavenly halberd after some thought.
Since he wanted to pursue excitement, he would carry it out to the end~
Jiang Xiao tied the dagger to his leg, picked up the heavenly halberd, and walked out of the hotel.
“Ya, pipi? You …” At the entrance of the hotel on the first floor, a group of students lined up neatly, waiting for the arrangement of the national team to send them to different stadiums.
Jiang Xiao was still alone in the competition and was arranged to compete in the largest stadium in Bailin city. It was obvious that the organizers knew what to do to bring them the most benefits.
It was different from the previous World Cup jointly organized by kimchi and Japan. This world Cup had a total of eight cities to host the competition. For the Chinese teams, the team competition was set in muhei market and the individual competition was set in Bailin city, but the venue would be adjusted. The sports industry in the will country was developing very well, and there were enough competition venues of all sizes.
As for Jiang Xiao, who was the champion, he had even decided on the venue for the competition.
“God Pi.” Jiang Xiao toot to himself and said to Yi qingchen.
“Hehe.” Yi qingchen smiled with a tinge of gentleness and shyness. He looked at the heavy and long halberd in Jiang Xiao’s hands curiously and asked,”did you learn a new skill again?”
“Ah, I think this round’s opponent is pretty good. He’s also a fighter. It’s hard to find a good opponent, with a bow and a spear.” Jiang Xiao chuckled and said,”I’m going to take this opportunity to give a performance to all the men in China.”
“Yeah, that’s true.” Beside them, Zheng xiyou shook her short hair and ran her fingers through her hair.”If we were to meet a rules awakened, we’d be killed with a single stab. There’d be no point in fighting.”
Jiang Xiao felt rather helpless. This female soldier … He was even more confident than himself.
On the other side, the leader walked over with a stack of papers. Looking at the name list above, he raised his head and said,””Get on the bus. Jiang xiaopi, Wu Haoyang, and ethereal, the three of you will take this minibus. You’ll be on the same journey.”
When leader Gong Juren saw the weapon in Jiang Xiao’s hand, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.””Where’s your saber?”
Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said,””I, Jiang Fengxian, have no reason to use a saber.”
Liu Yang moved closer to Jiang Xiao and whispered,””That … Lu Bu’s reputation isn’t that good, is it?”
“Uh …” Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said,”then …. Jiang Rengui?”
“Hmph,” he snorted. Wu Haoyang snorted and said,”you know quite a lot.”
“Shut up, you.” Jiang Xiao looked at Wu Haoyang and saw the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand. He retorted,”the three of you can’t even defeat me. Why are you still wasting your breath?”
“If that’s the case, I’m the one who killed your wife, Diao Chan,” Wu Haoyang said faintly.
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and retorted,”what do you know? my Diao Chan’s soul has left her body. She’s already stripped you of your clothes, let alone your weapons!” What do you have to kill him?”
Wu Haoyang was speechless.
“Quickly get in the car! Get in the car!” The team leader, Gong Juren, hollered angrily and pushed Jiang Xiao towards the car.
“The boy is not good enough.” Jiang Xiao shook his head and sighed. He then recited a poem and left.”The red dress is dancing, and the swallow is flying. A cloud is flying to the art Hall …”
The minibus slowly drove out of the hotel. Twenty minutes later, Jiang Xiao, as the only student to compete in the Bailin Olympic Stadium, was the first to get off the bus.
As the car started moving, Wu Haoyang, who was still in the car, suddenly got up and knocked on the window, attracting Jiang Xiao’s attention.
Jiang Xiao turned around and looked at Wu Haoyang in confusion.
Wu Haoyang looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile and made a “raise your hand and slash your sword” gesture.
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
The team leader, Gong Juren, hurriedly put his arm around Jiang Xiao’s shoulder and pushed him forward.””Do you see the reporters on both sides? You’re now representing the country’s image!”
Behind him, the two assistant instructors were carrying large and small bags that contained Jiang Xiao’s weapons. Not only did they have to work as coolies, but they also had to be bodyguards to escort Jiang Xiao all the way into the stadium.
……
“Yangma TV station! Yangma TV station! Hello, everyone! Today was July 4th, 2019. This was the Olympic sports arena established in Bailin city, the country of will! I’m your host, Qian baiwan!”
A woman’s voice came from the side. “I’m the host, ye Xunyang. ”
Qian baiwan: “we will be hosting five games here today. Our China’s national team, xiaopi Jiang, will be playing in the second round. Please wait and see.”
“Yes, there are still many matches today. Unfortunately, due to the tight schedule for this world Cup, we can only choose a few matches to present to everyone. If you want to see the other players of the national team play, you are welcome to log in …”
At the same time, in the locker room, the two assistant instructors were still explaining hai Rigu’s personal characteristics to Jiang Xiao and formulating battle tactics with him.
On the side, Gong Juren walked over and said,”You really don’t want to use the giant blade? Don’t be overconfident, even an Eagle would use its full strength when hunting a rabbit, not to mention that the other party is not a rabbit. ”
Jiang Xiao nodded and said,”he uses a bow and a spear. The heavenly halberd is very suitable for me. I’ve also adjusted my weapon according to my opponent. Don’t worry, coach Gong. I’ve put in a lot of effort into the halberd.”
“Yes, sure.” Looking at Jiang Xiao’s determined look, Gong Juren nodded and bent down to open the two huge bags, revealing a variety of weapons inside.”Bows, daggers, short blades, giant blades …
Gong Juren: “this is all given to you by the national team. Think about it. You can play later.”
“Mm …” Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement. However, he heard the shouts from the television on the wall in the distance. The channel was, of course, broadcasted by the local hosts of the will nation. They were speaking in English, which Jiang Xiao could understand.
“Contestant from the Sulan region of the kingdom of sun never sets, referee andre Phil, has defeated his opponent in just 57 seconds! He advanced to the third round with a strong momentum!”
Amidst the excited shouts, Jiang Xiao saw a handsome young man from the kingdom of sun never sets on the television.
At this moment, andre Phil was raising the two-handed greatsword in his hand high up in the air. The flame patterns were like thin snakes, winding around the wide greatsword, spiraling up and straight into the sky.
As the flames swirled up, the audience cheered.
“Andre Phil, a heavy cavalry,” Gong Juren said.”It seems that he has won the competition before he can even summon his warhorse.”
Gong Juren then turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said,””Your next competitor is also a fierce cavalryman. Be careful.”
Jiang Xiao picked up the heavenly halberd beside him and touched the cold Crescent Blade of the halberd with one hand. He then plucked the red tassels hanging above and said,””We’ll do it!”
Half an hour later, the players on both sides went on stage to warm up.
The National coaching staff carried Jiang Xiao’s weapon and took their seats on the bench.
“They’re coming! The Chinese team’s Jiang xiaopi had finally appeared! I seem to have seen something incredible. ” Qian baiwan looked at the screen in front of the table curiously. Then, he stuck his head out from behind the screen, stood up, and looked down at the green field.
“That seems to be a heavenly halberd?” Ye Xunyang asked curiously,”is this the weapon that contestant Jiang xiaopi specially changed to use against the contestant from the great Meng Empire? Or is this just a smokescreen?”
“Contestant hai Rigu has crossed the line! Contestant hai Rigu has crossed the boundary!” Qian baiwan suddenly asked,”what is he doing? This is just a warm-up. It’s not the pre-match exchange segment yet!”
Ye Xunyang frowned slightly and said,”hai Rigu looked very friendly. He walked over to shake hands.”
Jiang Xiao was dressed in the national team uniform and was stretching when he saw the burly man walking towards him from afar.
Their gazes swept past the brawny man and looked at the bench in the distance. The coaches of the great Meng Empire didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping him.
The other side did not move, and the coaching team headed by Gong Juren was even more motionless.
Jiang Xiao stood up curiously and looked at the mighty man who came in front of him. He then reached out and grabbed the man’s rough hand.
It was warm, strong, and slightly rough.
Jiang Xiao could give him a free SPA treatment and wash his hands with holy light.
Hai Rigu had a pair of Red Phoenix eyes. His hair was light-colored, his forehead was wide, and his cheekbones were prominent. Since he was a college student, he should be under 24 years old. However, he had a beard that was neither long nor short, making his face look very rough.
“I’ve been longing for this battle,”hai Rigu said.
Jiang Xiao nodded. He was speaking Chinese, but his accent was a little strange.
Hai Rigu lowered his head slightly and looked at Jiang Xiao.””In my hometown, my companions call you the ‘essence of human combat skills’.”
“Uh …” Jiang Xiao scratched his head and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Jiang Xiao was very good at provoking and bickering with others, but …
Hai Rigu said,”our country is different from other countries. We’ve always paid attention to our own combat skills. We’ve always looked down on the use of star techniques.”
Your appearance has dispelled many doubts in our country. For this, please allow me to offer you my highest respect. ”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. ” Jiang Xiao tried to be humble and subconsciously wanted to wave his hand, but the other party’s rough hand was very tight, and Jiang Xiao couldn’t pull his hand out.
“I noticed that you brought a halberd.” Hai Rigu continued.
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao nodded.
“For you, I’ve specially changed to my hometown’s da Meng scimitar for this match. I didn’t expect you to have a halberd. Is your adjustment because I’m using a spear?”
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and nodded.””It’s like this,”
“Alright,” he said. Hai Rigu laughed heartily and said,”then I’ll exchange for the spear and experience your halberd skills.”
Jiang Xiao grinned and said,”I know how to use star techniques. I won’t just compete with you.”
“Of course.” Hai Rigu held Jiang Xiao’s hand tightly and said,”give me a hearty battle and don’t hold back. Thank you.”
After saying that, hai Rigu turned around and left. That tall and mighty figure seemed to have a special rhythm as he strode forward.
Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but Marvel in his heart. Such an impressive opponent was really worth fighting.
“The pre-match communication between the two sides seemed to be very friendly,” Qian baiwan said.”I’m really curious about what they said.”
Ye Xunyang smiled and said,”Jiang xiaopi is not an ordinary player. As the champion of the last World Cup, he has fans all over the world. Perhaps hai Rigu also worships our God Pi?”
“Eh? There seemed to be a familiar figure in the camera. This is …” Qian baiwan was stunned. He stared at the screen on the table and said,”isn’t this Juliet, the plant-type mage of the kingdom of sun never sets, who participated in the last World Cup?”
Ye Xunyang was also stunned. He looked at Juliet’s noble and charming face on the screen. Most importantly, the right side of Juliet’s face was painted with the red flag of Huaxia.
In the first game, andre Phil was a player from Sulan, the kingdom of sun never sets, and the paint on Juliet’s face was the Chinese flag?
Qian baiwan stammered a little, but he adjusted himself in time.”Xian … Obviously, Juliet has a good personal relationship with Jiang xiaopi, and she’s probably here to cheer him on. ”
Ye Xunyang didn’t mention the competition or the students. She smiled and said,”Jiang xiaopi has already noticed Juliet. Old friends are greeting each other.”
In the front row of the stands, Juliet pushed aside her slightly curly blond hair and tucked it behind her ear. She then revealed her right cheek to Jiang Xiao and waved at him with a smile.
Jiang Xiao was also a little dumbfounded. He subconsciously cupped his fists and greeted Juliet.
The sharp-eyed Jiang Xiao also saw the figure wearing sunglasses and a mask beside Juliet.
He wouldn’t have known if he didn’t look, but he was shocked when he did.
Isn’t that the second Princess, Sophia?
This pair of best friends had formed a team to travel to will country?
It was wrong!
Jiang Xiao denied his speculation and thought to himself, these two are busy people, especially Sophia. Due to her identity, her actions are obviously “limited.” Since she chose to come here in disguise, I’m afraid there must be some special circumstances.
Could it be related to him? Could it be related to the North Atlantic?
The more Jiang Xiao thought about it, the more excited he became. Did Princess Sophia obtain some secret information or find some special dimensional space? Was she here to catch the mercenaries and accompany her to the sea?
If that was the case, that would be great. The humming whale had been holding back for a long time!
