White Crown Star Bead (Gold Quality)

 Star Technique:

1. Pure White Scepter: Creates a scepter using Star Power, restores the vitality of a target within a certain range. The duration of the effects of the scepter is determined by the amount of Star Power infused. (Gold Quality, Upgradeable)

2. Gray-white Scepter: Creates a scepter using Star Power, restores the vitality of a target within a certain range. The duration of the effects of the scepter is determined by the amount of Star Power infused. (Gold Quality, Upgradeable)

Would you like to absorb it together?

 Impressive.

Jiang Xiao was feeling slightly conflicted as he retracted his fingers.

Is this the Star Technique that Teacher Hai Tianqing had used? Jiang Xiao did see that glowing scepter on the Holy Ground previously.

He had also been revived by that Star Technique before and felt that it was wonderful.

However, the issue was that the Pure White Scepter seemed to have the same effects as his own Star Technique, Blessing.

Although the Pure White Scepter was a Star Technique that would work within a fixed range, he could heal plenty of people at the same time and the duration of the effects was also controlled by him.

However, Jiang Xiao felt that the effects of his upgraded Blessing would definitely be just as good as Pure White Scepter.

Jiang Xiao was in a team of four and not with the guardians. Hence, that Star Technique didn't seem to be too practical.

Is the second one called Gray-white Scepter? 

Does it restore Star Power? 

Since the scepter targets the people within a certain range, does that mean that it will also restore the power of the user? 

This seems to be a good Star Technique, but…

As long as he had enough Star Beads, the Star Technique would seem replaceable.

The more serious issue was that the Star Bead did not contain any Star Techniques that were similar to Imprint.

In other words, the scepter wouldn't be able to restore the vitality of specific targets as Imprint could.

 Everyone within the range that the scepter affected would have their vitality and Star Power restored.

Wouldn't that be wonderful for the enemy?

Such a Star Technique would probably be useful only during military operations.

 For a team like Jiang Xiao's, it wouldn't be as domineering as he imagined it to be.

Jiang Xiao was not clear about the specific range of the scepter, but according to the Pure White Scepter that Hai Tianqing had driven into the ground, the entire Holy Ground seemed to have been covered.

Since it was Gold Quality, the range would definitely be large.

The Star Technique was indeed splendid, with high quality and strong efficacies.

Jiang Xiao thought about it again and again and finally decided to give it up.

There were only six star slots left in his Star Map, so he wanted a Star Technique that he could control, as well as an output Star Technique that could kill.

Blessing and Bell would be sufficient for him to heal the four of them.

He decided to discuss it with Han Jiangxue in the future before going to the Dimensional s.p.a.ce on the volcanic side. 10 Lava Ghoul Star Beads would be required for Bell and Imprint to upgrade to Gold Quality.

By then, Jiang Xiao's healing abilities would be even better.

“It comes from a Dimensional s.p.a.ce in the gra.s.sland of Mongolia where there are some humanoid creatures of other dimensions. This Star Bead comes from the brain of the White Crown and contains two scepter Star Techniques that can restore the vitality and Star Power of the user and their teammates. Compared to the White Ghoul Witch's ‘Blessing', their effects are much better,” Xia Shanhai explained while staring at Jiang Xiao.

“Why is that Dimensional s.p.a.ce special? Aren't they all special?” Jiang Xiao asked.

 “That one is too dangerous and is not open to the outside world, allowing only some special troops to enter. Hence, that s.p.a.ce is very special, and so is this Star Bead,” said Xia Shanhai, who was feeling rather smug even though his expression did not change.

That showed how precious the Star Bead was!

However, to Jiang Xiao, the Star Bead was useless.

No matter how high and efficient the Star Techniques may be, Jiang Xiao would not be able to acquire them so long as they were extremely rare.

The rarer they were, the more Jiang Xiao had to stay away from them.

Jiang Xiao would rush to s.n.a.t.c.h the ones that were cheaper and more common…

“It's too hefty, I can't accept it,” Jiang Xiao said while pus.h.i.+ng the box forward and grabbing Han Jiangxue's box.

 Blue Crown Star Bead (Gold Quality)

 Star Technique:

1. Light Blue Scepter: Creates a scepter using Star Power, puts out electric waves and bombards specific targets within a certain range with razer. The duration of the effects of the scepter is determined by the amount of Star Power infused. (Gold Quality, Upgradeable)

2. Dark Blue Scepter: Creates a scepter using Star Power, puts out electric waves and bombards specific targets within a certain range with razer. The duration of the effects of the scepter is determined by the amount of Star Power infused. (Gold Quality, Upgradeable)

Would you like to absorb it together?

 –

 Is this a ranged Star Technique or a single-target Star Technique? 

Both Star Techniques had to be summoned.

The so-called Dark Blue Scepter could be controlled well and wouldn't harm the user's teammates as long as it was controlled well using Star Power.

Both the Dark Blue Scepter and Light Blue Scepter were Gold Quality Star Techniques that had clear prices. In other words, they had similar power even though they differed in forms.

Even if one of them were stronger, there would at most be an increase in quant.i.ty. But there would be no qualitative changes.

“Xiaopi!” Xia Shanhai exclaimed, pretending to be unhappy. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Jiang Xiao speak in a different tone.

“It's hard to turn you down. Why don't… we just take one?” Jiang Xiao said suddenly.

Xia Shanhai was speechless.

To Jiang Xiao, the more precious a Star Bead was, the more worthless it was.

However, for a normal Awakened person like Han Jiangxue, the precious Star Bead was eligible to occupy one of her star slots!

 If Han Jiangxue could absorb one of them, it would be a huge addition to her power, regardless of whether it was Light Blue Specter or Dark Blue Scepter.

Jiang Xiao said, “Sister, don't put Auntie and Uncle in a spot. Let's just take one. I'm a rookie in the Stardust Stage, so I'd just be wasting the Gold Quality Star Bead if I take it. There's no chance of success either. However, you are different, your strength and qualifications are incredible. Since you've already acquired one Gold Quality Star Technique, you can definitely acquire a second one.”

Jiang Xiao continued, “This time, you can try using it after you break through the middle of Nebula Stage. If you are afraid of wasting it, you can save it and let our team absorb it before the national league. If we get a good rank and do well in the exam, we'll all have a better future.”

Han Jiangxue stared at Jiang Xiao quietly, but no one could guess what she was thinking.

It was because she was recalling the way that he was addressing her as his sister.

How long had it been?

How many months had it been?

It had been a long time since Jiang Xiao called him “Sister”.

He would usually address her by her name and sometimes, he would even call her “Little Jiangxue” when he was feeling ambitious.

Han Jiangxue was bewildered when she heard him call her “Sister”.

If he weren't pretending in front of Xia Yan's parents, he wouldn't have done that at all.

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue, who was staring blankly at him while being stuck in a daze. He extended his hand and shook it in front of Han Jiangxue. “Sister?”

“Yeah, okay.” Han Jiangxue subconsciously agreed, seemingly subconsciously.

Han Jiangxue suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong and confusion was written all over her fair and tender face. “What did you say to me just now?”

This time, it was Jiang Xiao's turn to be confused.

Is she still my cold and aloof sister? 

Why is she so naturally cute? 

She's so confused and adorable, oh my… 

Women, do you all have multiple personalities?
