Chapter 62 - Healed the Wrong Person?

Chapter 62: Healed the Wrong Person?

Yi Lianna’s face turned red and she gently smacked Jiang Xiao’s shoulder. Once again, Su Rou managed to catch them flirting and featured it in her live-stream.

“This adulterous pair!”

“What have I done to deserve this? Why are you making me watch this?”

“That Eurasian vixen is really evil. How dare she tempt our Jiang Xiaopi.”

“Jiang Xiaopi? Is that the name of the boy with the buzz cut?”

“Is this a nickname? That’s pretty cute.”

“I’ve long found his Weibo account. His username is Jiang Xiaopi-mischievous-or-not.”

“Oh? Let me go take a look.”

“Stop looking. I just looked through his Weibo account. This adulterous pair seemed to have a good time a few days ago.”

“How wonderful it must be to be young.”

“The problem is, who is @XiaYan? Why did he despise her?”

“You don’t know who Xia Yan is? Yet, you’re watching the contest in Jiangbin High School? She’s the queen of School Tyrants!”

“Indeed, we tend to forget older people once there are new ones.”

“Hah, men.”

“Hah, men.”

“Hah, men.”

Behind the base of Year One Class 2.

Zhu Wen’s eyes glistened and he said, “We’ve already had dozens of Blessings, and yet, we still can’t resist the temptation of that feeling of comfort. The opponents are definitely going to be dumbfounded when they experience it for the first time!”

“Yeah, take the opportunity to throw their frontliner up into the sky with your brother. By the time they react, they won’t be able to escape. He’ll become a living target for Lianna.”

Jiang Xiao continued, “The recovery and wound-healing abilities of the Blessing Star Technique is not as strong as that of Bell. As long as two strikes of Lianna’s Bursting Flames land accurately in the process of them ascending and landing, it would be enough for the referee to judge that the opponents have lost their fighting ability and will immediately get them to go down for treatment.”

Feeling a little concerned, Yi Lianna asked, “Isn’t two… a little too much? One should be better. I’m really afraid of damaging them.”

Zhu Wen refuted. “Two! This is a competition. We must win. You must also believe in the ability of the school’s medics. There won’t be any major problems.”

Zhu Wu said to Yi Lianna, “The opponents are definitely not as kind as you are. I swear any of them who approaches you will drive you into a corner and beat you up as hard as they can. They definitely won’t stop until the referees stop them.”

Yi Lianna took a deep breath and said, “Got it.”

Zhu Wen continued, “Change the formation. Jiang Xiaopi, you stand in the middle of the ‘T’ formation while Lianna stands at the back. We’ve been abiding by the rules way too excessively. We stood strictly according to the standard positions of every role. However, our opponents are not creatures of other dimensions or formidable ones who have plenty of Star Techniques.”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, “Yes, it would be difficult for them to rush to the back because they don’t have the support of corresponding Star Techniques.”

Zhu Wen waved his hands and said, “It’s settled, then. As long as they lose one member, it’ll be easy for us to fight them.”

At the same time, the scores were also displayed on the football field. Class 4 won the third place and would be receiving some Star Beads of good quality if nothing went wrong.

“Wow! The final battle is here. The results are just as expected. The better classes, Class 1 and Class 2 are going against each other. There are powerhouses in both classes, I’m really looking forward to seeing it,” said Su Rou.

“It’s time for them to go up. Class 2 seems to have changed their formation this time. My Xiaopi is standing in the middle.”

At the same time, everyone was ready to fight on the football field.

While making his entrance, Jiang Xiao could sense an intense gaze being fixed on his face. He turned around to see that Gao Junchen was glowering at him menacingly.

Indeed, he was just like his brother.

You’re so young and you already have the same rigor and aura as your brother, Jiang Xiao thought as he stared at Gao Junchen with a straight face.

We must settle all scores today. Who told you to get your underlings to shove me into the utility room soon after I enrolled?

If I didn’t have good reflexes and combat skills, I would have been humiliated by you and got beaten up into a pulp.

Gao Junchen, who had a Korean-style haircut, mouthed the words “Just you wait and see!”

Jiang Xiao ignored him and instead stared at the other three.

One of them was the skinny guy who shoved him into the utility room.

In addition to those two, there was also a tall and burly boy who seemed to be 1.9 meters tall, with dark tanned skin and an intense gaze in his eyes. He seemed vile.

The Zhu brothers regarded them highly too.

The last member of Class 1 was a tall and slender girl that had her hair tied back into a ponytail. She was staring at the Zhu brothers with a sullen expression as if they were her greatest enemies.

Jiang Xiao was also very clear about her position. He reckoned that she should be an agile Melee Awakened. Although she was similar to Xia Yan, Jiang Xiao didn’t think that she would be as domineering as Xia Yan.

Jiang Xiao felt that the girl was like an “assassin.” Judging from the previous battles, he deduced that she would usually walk around the edge of the battlefield and look for the right opportunity to enter the battlefield. He could tell that her moves were terrifyingly lethal.

Props and weapons were not allowed in the final competition after the military training program for the Year One students.

They could only rely on their physical combat skills. However, during the mid-term and final exams of high school, the students would be allowed to use props. When faced with creatures of other dimensions, they would be allowed to bring their own weapons. Only wooden props provided by the school could be used during battles with fellow students.

The referee would make a judgment based on the body part hit by the weapon. Although it would not be fatal to be cut in the neck by the wooden knife, the referee would regard it as “death”.

Jiang Xiao had enough reason to believe that the girl would definitely use a dagger if weapons were allowed.

The opponents formed a 2-2 formation with the burly Gao Junchen in the front and the skinny youth and the girl at the back.

Class 2 formed a T formation, with the Zhu brothers standing in the front, Jiang Xiao in the middle, and Yi Lianna in the back.

Seeing Gao Junchen’s menacing gaze, Jiang Xiao suddenly took a step back, turned around, and saw the stunned Yi Lianna.

Jiang Xiao leaned forward slightly and whispered into Yi Lianna’s ear, “Gao Junchen is definitely going to be the first to rush out later. I’m sure he won’t be able to take it.”

“How are you so sure?” Yi Lianna asked softly.

Jiang Xiao said, “His ‘Charge’ is probably the only Star Technique that can rapidly destroy Zhu Wen and Zhu Wu’s defense. He should be at the front.”

Yi Lianna thought about it and said, “Makes sense. That burly bear seems to be able to do so too…”

Jiang Xiao leaned closer and said softly, “That’s the reason I’m standing beside you now. He’s been a spoilt brat ever since he was a child and he definitely can’t stand seeing you and I take a photo together. Regardless of what their battle skills are like, I believe his patience is growing thin now.”

Yi Lianna panicked, finding it hard to understand Jiang Xiao now.

She had always found Jiang Xiao to be a mischievous, happy-go-lucky, and frivolous boy, not the scheming person he was now.

“Two strikes of Bursting Flames. Take your aim accurately,” Jiang Xiao said softly.

Jiang Xiao then smiled and retreated while nodding at Yi Lianna.

“Jiang Xiaopi!” Gao Junchen hollered from opposite, turning all red and flushed from exasperation. He was so angry that he quaked uncontrollably.

“Referee, please announce the start of the competition,” the “Black Bear” Gao Junchen said to the referee, unable to stand Jiang Xiao’s derisive attitude.

Huff…

A Star Map suddenly appeared on Gao Junchen’s body, stained with Stardust. It appeared like a dreamy sword.

Four star slots on the Chinese swords lit up a little. They were of Brass Quality and Silver Quality.

He had 24 star slots! It caused an uproar amongst the audience.

24 star slots!

What!?!

Indeed, it was a class of elites.

At the same time, Black Bear also lit up his Star Map which was in the shape of a one-handed round shield with 25 star slots. It seemed like he was doing it for the sake of expressing his anger. Two Brass Quality glowing Star Beads were embedded in it.

Although his Star Techniques were inferior, he had 25 star slots.

It was enough to make anyone take their hat’s off to him.

Indeed, Class 1 was a powerhouse.

People like the Zhu brothers who only had 20 star slots were worlds apart from them.

The skinny youth and the girl with the ponytail did not seem to be affected. They did not light up their Star Maps or assert dominance. Instead, they tensed up and secretly got ready.

The only Law Awakened from Class 2, Yi Lianna, slowly lit up her Star Map.

A long two-handed staff appeared in front of everyone, consisting of two Brass Quality and two Silver Quality Star Beads which were just as domineering.

21 star slots were definitely enviable to everyone in society. However, the students now seemed to feel a clear contrast between Class 1 and Class 2.

The Zhu brothers had sullen expressions on their faces and seemed to be keeping their guards up.

Both parties got into formation and the referee raised the flag in his hand.

Jiang Xiao stared at Gao Junchen and winked at him.

Whoosh!

The referee dropped the flag and a loud, explosive sound filled the air. Something exploded in the ground and formed a hole beneath Gao Junchen’s feet!

The intense Star Power was wrapped around his feet and he immediately darted out, after which he flew towards Jiang Xiao as if he had completely forgotten about the Zhu brothers.

He was approaching them… 30 meters, 25 meters, 20 meters…

Jiang Xiao raised his hand and a ray of sacred light suddenly descended, covering Gao Junchen’s body and allowing him to be shrouded in it.

Everyone was bewildered and shocked.

The students who were initially cheering immediately fell silent.

Did he heal… heal the wrong person?

Is Jiang Xiaopi shocked out of his wits?
