Chapter 517
Nine Star Burden
Chapter 517: I want to win!
In the first match, Star Warrior Xie from the Central Plains announced the end of the match within four minutes. He didn’t try to warm up the atmosphere and continued his usual style.
In the round of 32 to 16, Xie Xie’s opponent was crying bitterly. His cries and screams could be said to be hoarse.
On the other hand, Xie Xie’s opponent was not any better off in the quarter-finals. This further deepened the fear of the crowd toward Xie Xie. He was like a demon. Not only did he bring physical pain to his enemies, but he also devastated their souls.
As the first player to be officially selected for the national team, Xie Xie didn’t show any joy. He gritted his teeth and walked back to his seat. He refused the help of the leading teacher and even the medical staff.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao also knew that although Xie Xie looked calm on the surface, the pain in his heart was beyond anyone’s imagination.
Jiang Xiao had his own judgment about Xie Xie’s actions. There was no doubt that Xie Xie’s refusal to help was irrational, or rather, it was a special reaction made under special circumstances.
At the very least, Xie Xie’s state of mind was abnormal after the battle. It could even be twisted.
Jiang Xiao watched silently as Xie Xie sat on the chair and the dark flames on his body gradually extinguished, just like a silent beast.
His head slowly drooped down. On his expressionless face, his eyes had lost the light from the battle just now. At this time, they were slightly empty and his gaze was unfocused.
The star techniques of the Black Flame Series were rather special, and they emphasized the word “empathy.” In other words, the damage Xie Xie received was equal to the enemy ‘s.
…
There was no doubt that Xie Xie’s heart was also riddled with holes.
If Jiang Xiao and Xie Xie had been on the same team or on a mission, even if they were in the same school and had some interactions, Jiang Xiao wouldn’t have been so stingy as to throw out a Bell to comfort Xie Xie’s wounds.
However, Jiang Xiao didn’t do that now.
Every star Warrior had their own pride. Xie Xie had won Jiang Xiao’s respect with his actual performance, so it was even more impossible for Jiang Xiao to make any rash and abrupt moves.
The second person to go up was hou Mingming, who was as strong as Xie Xie.
Her poor opponent really couldn’t advance or retreat.
Jiang Xiao saw the ice-blue speed reduction arrow and the transparent repelling arrow, making the melee fighter who was trying to get close to him feel extremely miserable.
Jiang Xiao even saw the gray and sharp armor-piercing arrows tearing apart the mud that covered the melee fighter.
In the end, the black-feathered arrows that flew in the air in the black mist-filled arena completely tore the opponent’s body apart.
Hou Ming stood proudly without moving a single step, looking so high-spirited.
Then, just like Xie Xie, they ended the battle within four minutes.
She was proud and confident. She held her head high, looking down on the world like a king. Her eyes were filled with the desire to fight and conquer. She was looking for the next opponent that she should tear to pieces in the audience.
He was quiet and taciturn. He sat on the chair with his head lowered and his eyes unfocused. He silently licked his wounds like a lonely trapped beast, unwilling to provoke or communicate with anyone.
What was sad was that in this iron cage, or in his future path of Star Warrior, no matter if he won or lost, he would be the one suffering the most.
It was these two extreme people who became the No. 1 and No. 2 members on the national team’s official list.
Everyone had their own special martial arts path. Perhaps only such people were qualified to be on the national team’s list.
You sing, I’ll take the stage.
The trapped beast and the king walked to the seats that belonged to them.
After that, Xing Yan and Jiang Xiao arrived.
In fact, most of the people present had higher expectations for this match, even more interested than the previous two God-level matches.
Because Xing Yan was strong enough! It was ferocious enough!
It was also because he had a good opponent!
This little toxic healer was really beyond everyone’s expectations. His dazzling saber skills were really superb and at the peak of perfection!
The students, teachers, and staff held their breath. The stadium, which was already empty, became eerily quiet.
As the two sides stood in their respective half of the arena, Xing Yan brought a huge axe with him.
Obviously, he had already taken Jiang Xiao’s silence STAR technique into consideration and made full preparations.
“Get ready!” The judge said.
In an instant, a star map lit up in front of Xing Yan’s bulging chest.
On the bronze shield, a ferocious beast was biting a long-handled axe with 27 Star Slots.
Before the start of the competition, any star techniques that were activated on their own were not allowed to be used. Otherwise, they would be disqualified from the competition as per the rules. However, the star map could be lit up. Xing Yan had clearly expressed his attitude. He would not underestimate this battle.
This also revealed a piece of information-he might be going to fight with Jiang Xiao!
On Xing Yan’s star map, the 16th star slot burst out with a blinding light.
Jiang Xiao held the sword in one hand and thought quickly. He recognized the star slot-it was the star slot of “axe blade Storm”!
The image of the soldier King of xiangnan military school being flicked and cut frantically in the storm of axe blades was still vivid in his mind. Jiang Xiao could withstand the attack of that level, but he definitely didn’t want to let Xing Yan gain the upper hand because of this.
Xing Yan was really going to attack?
In the nick of time, Jiang Xiao raised his hand and remained silent, ready to attack.
“The match begins!” The judge announced.
呯!
The sound of silence landed on Xing Yan’s body.
Obviously, Jiang Xiao’s opponents would never try to take the blessing head-on.
Xing Yan didn’t attack? Didn’t he want to attack first?
Was this all just a strategy? It didn’t seem to have much of an effect?
Since Xing Yan would definitely be hit by the sound of silence, it would be a good choice to disrupt Jiang Xiao’s state of mind.
Xing Yan was sprinting. He was two meters tall and his leg muscles were tight. Every step he took created a hole in the ground.
Xing Yan’s speed should not be considered slow. Of course, he was slower than Zhu Fengyu. However, Xing Yan was a Galaxy stage cultivator, so all of his physical attributes were above average.
However, everyone knew that Xing Yan’s strength was terrifying.
Jiang Xiao quickly retreated and unknowingly, nostalgia had already appeared under his feet.
His eyes were fixed on Xing Yan and he fired another shot of silence. The movement of silence was similar to that of blessing. Of course, Xing Yan could not judge what STAR technique his opponent was using just by the start.
Thus, Xing Yan dodged obediently, but his body was still in extreme pain from being smashed by silent disaster.
The star power in his body stirred wildly. The tearing pain in his chest made Xing Yan even more furious.
She stared at Jiang Xiao with beastly eyes, only to discover that he was retreating rapidly and his eyes were slightly red …
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a drizzle began to fall.
Raindrops fell on Xing Yan’s body, causing him to open his eyes wide as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Buzzzzzz!
A blessing landed on Xing Yan and he hurriedly dodged it. It was a close call!
Xing Yan couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. He couldn’t give his opponent any chance at all. Otherwise, by the time he regained consciousness, the battle would have already ended.
Xing Yan and Jiang Xiao’s bodies were extremely close to each other. He could feel the vitality and star power in his body continuously flowing away, and he could also feel that his emotions were constantly getting low and depressed …
The drizzling rain had also turned into a drizzling rain.
呯!
The blade of the axe grazed Jiang Xiao’s body and landed heavily on the wet grass, causing the grass and soil to splatter everywhere and the air to burst out.
Jiang Xiao was sent flying!
The blade of the axe didn’t hit Jiang Xiao at all, but he was still blown away by the majestic Star power.
Xing Yan’s star power was overflowing because Jiang Xiao didn’t cast silence on the ground beneath his feet. Since he had decided to take the sad tears sect, he had to turn the drizzle into a heavy rain in the shortest time possible. Once he cast silence, it would cause a huge disruption to his plans.
Jiang Xiao was a person who used his brain to fight. Xing Yan was completely different from Zhu Fengyu. He might not even be able to withstand an ordinary blow from Xing Yan because he was too powerful.
Hence, Jiang Xiao could only look for the key to victory through the relative weakness of the other party.
Kiting tactics might be the best choice.
A “Dong” sound was heard!
Jiang Xiao’s body flew out and his back hit the solid iron cage hard, but a human-shaped outline was embedded in the iron cage.
In his vision, Xing Yan’s huge figure enlarged infinitely, and his heavy axe was already in front of him.
Buzzzzzz!
The iron cage was directly torn apart by the giant axe, and the star power from the explosion shattered the surrounding iron cages.
However, Xing Yan’s expression was grave as he suddenly slashed to the side.
The giant axe missed, but there was no one?
“F * ck … Teleportation!”
“This is f * cking teleportation!”
“He finally appeared. If he didn’t leave, he would have to die Here.”
In everyone’s line of sight, Jiang Xiao disappeared from the bottom corner of the left half of the field and appeared in the bottom corner of the right half.
90% of the star power in his body was gone, and the fine raindrops slowed down slightly, but there were no faults.
More importantly, the Halo of nostalgia still existed under Jiang Xiao’s feet.
The star power consumed to activate nostalgia was different from the star power consumed to maintain nostalgia.
The star power in his body continued to grow, and his vitality and physical strength recovered rapidly. Jiang Xiao felt that his blood and Qi, which had been in turmoil due to the explosion, were gradually calming down.
The sky seemed to have darkened at this moment.
The wind blew, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed.
The light rain finally turned into a heavy downpour.
The two of them stood at the bottom corners of the two halves, looking at each other from a distance.
On the green field, a distance of a hundred meters was very short, but in this heavy rain, Xing Yan would probably never be able to finish walking.
Xing Yan knew that even if he managed to pass through the heavy rain, he would still be a short distance away from Jiang Xiao.
Xing Yan’s body trembled violently, and his eyes almost popped out.
Jiang Xiao leaned on his giant sword and held onto silence while tears streamed down his face.
I’m sorry for bringing up your sad past.
I want to win this match.
