Chapter 274: Facing It

Wow.

Mother, did you see?

So many zombies want to add me on WeChat.

Although they can't speak the human language, they've expressed their desire to communicate with me in another way.

I'm really a smart healer…

Jiang Xiao thought about it to himself while Han Jiangxue flew into a rage, perhaps because she didn't want to let the zombies add him on WeChat.

Hmm…

The five archers were disconnected, and two Ancient Warrior Warhammers and two with tomahawks quickly retreated and guarded the leader Ancient Archer General.

Their reaction at this moment was enough to show that the Ancient Warriors were much stronger than the Savages in the a.r.s.enal.

Facing the Ancient Warrior Tomahawk, Han Jiangxue extended her hands and pushed one hand forward while tugging her other hand backward. She launched two shots of Barren Wind and caused the Ancient Warrior Tomahawk to fly away while dragging another one.

Whoos.h.!.+

She activated Sky Smasher, and the Ancient Warriors immediately disappeared in it.

Indeed, Spatial Star Techniques were extremely reliable!

However, the Ancient Warrior actually retreated under the lead of the Ancient Archer General.

Don't mistake it. They weren't trying to escape. Rather, they simply wanted to move out of the range of attack of Sound of Silence.

After all, their leader was an Archer General. Besides, he even had four Ice Archer subordinates. Of course, they'd be willing to fight against Jiang Xiao's team remotely. Hence, he retreated.

However, Han Jiangxue threw out a shot of Chain Lightning without hesitation.

In an instant, a chain of lightning appeared in the dim Ancient Imperial Mausoleum, lighting it up.

The Star Technique Sound of Silence would work on the people within its range and not the Star Power or Star Techniques in it.

The Ancient Warriors were in the range of Sound of Silence and could not attack effectively at all. The Chain Lightning seemed to roam about unrestrainedly too.

Han Jiangxue obviously knew that she had to seize the opportunity. Hence, she threw out numerous shots of Chain Lightning like they were free!

That frightened Jiang Xiao, who hurriedly activated Nostalgia and Dawn, for fear that his Little Jiangxue's Star Power would deplete.

Chain Lightning was swift, and, as a Gold Quality lightning Star Power, it was highly destructive as well!

Besides, the Chain Lightning would also result in numbing effects. Only the Gold Quality Ancient Archer General could run out of the domain by relying on its strong physique. The Silver Quality Ice Archer and the Ancient Warriors Tomahawk and Warhammer began to experience numbness in their limbs and walked around on an unsteady gait. They couldn't run at all.

Be it the audience in front of the screen or the guardians at the supply point, they were all puzzled and astonished. What kind of a d.a.m.ned creature is this!?!

Are you telling me this is a group of high school students?

Is this a group of kids in the Nebula Stage?

In a short moment, everyone saw three… no, four Gold Quality Star Techniques!

Xia Yan's Gold Quality Body of Star Power.

Jiang Xiao's Gold Quality Sound of Silence.

Han Jiangxue's Gold Quality Sky Smasher and Gold Quality Chain Lightning.

Even warriors at the Galaxy Stage probably didn't have such explosive Gold Quality Star Techniques, let alone high school students in the Nebula Stage.

It was not only because such Gold Quality Star Techniques were of high quality, but also because they had a good combination of Star Techniques.

The warrior's Body of Star Power, the supportive member's Sound of Silence, and the Rules Awakened's Chain Lightning.

As a spatial storage bag, Sky Smasher's support was not too bad. If it were used as a means of killing, it would be a satisfactory Star Technique for a Rules Awakened.

You're telling me that these people are the high school students representing Beijiang Province in the compet.i.tion?

They were probably transferred there from Beijing, weren't they?

It's no wonder that they all say that Beijiang Province is expected to achieve a historical breakthrough this year and create new highs. d.a.m.n it. They're just like three monsters!

While throwing out a shot of Chain Lightning, Han Jiangxue yelled, “Continue to use Sound of Silence to seal the road! Stab me, hurry!”

Jiang Xiao watched as the Ancient Archer General dashed out of the range of the Sound of Silence before throwing out another shot of Sound of Silence.

It was not the time to save Star Power and Star Beads.

After throwing out a shot of Sound of Silence, he reached with his left into his pocket and directly absorbed a Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead. He then grabbed the sharp, half-toothed dagger from the sheath on his thigh with his right hand. He then lifted Han Jiangxue's s.h.i.+rt with his left hand and stabbed her in her abdomen, before pulling the dagger out together with her bloodied flesh.

Jiang Xiao swore that if Xia Yan were to make that request, he would stab her in the waist.

Enmity, Gold Quality Level 0 -> Level 1

Counter-current Light, Gold Quality Level 0 -> Level 1

Sound of Silence, Gold Quality Level 2 (9/100) -> Level 3 (9/100)

Star Power upgrade! Nebula Stage Level 2!

In an instant, news of his Star Power getting upgraded was displayed on his internal Star Map, stunning Jiang Xiao.

Gold Quality Star Beads are indeed really angst, eh? However, the breakthrough is probably because I've become much stronger.

As his Star Power upgraded, Jiang Xiao's Star Power immediately replenished. He sighed in relief and comfort while his lips curled into a smile.

Star Power upgrade, wonderful~

The scene gave everyone a great shock!

Su Rou, in front of the screen, was dumbfounded. She widened her eyes and looked at the camera lens before asking, “What did G.o.ddess Xue say just now?”

“G.o.ddess Xue… G.o.ddess Xue told him to stab her…”

“And the little toxic healer really stabbed her?”

“d.a.m.n it. He definitely isn't her biological brother! Did he really stab her!?!”

“He even smiled and laughed. Look, he's so shameless!”

“Uwuu, my G.o.ddess Xue. It's over. Your image is ruined. I've always thought that you're a high and mighty queen. It turns out that you're…”

“Wow, Xiaopi, you're rebelling? I really envy you. I really want to watch the live broadcast, but I'm penniless…”

What made everyone confused was the fact that Han Jiangxue was continuously throwing out Chain Lightning while saying coldly, “Stab me again.”

“Go away, let me do it,” Xia Yan said while scurrying over and pus.h.i.+ng Jiang Xiao away with a look of pity on her face.

This time, the viewers of the live-stream got into an uproar as they bombarded the screen with pop-up messages.

“Hear this out. How inhumane!”

“G.o.ddess Xue, what's going on? Do you have to self-harm before you can use lightning Star Techniques?”

“What's going on? I need an explanation.”

“Hehe, not a big deal. You outsiders might find this situation to be puzzling, but for us in the know, it's actually just as confusing…”

“Oh, dear! G.o.ddess Xue is really G.o.dly! She has such an explosive output!”

Eight Silver Quality Ancient Warriors walked out of the first domain of the Sound of Silence shakily. However, they did not manage to walk out of the second one.

They fell onto the ground one after another and were still twitching even though they had been electrocuted.

The Gold Quality Ancient Archer General was also completely neutralized by the Sound of Silence, which caused its ma.s.sive body to fall to the ground all of a sudden, with no means to get up again.

They won!?!

It was the first conflict against the Ancient Warriors, and the team representing Beijiang Province actually won?

This team was the biggest dark horse among the partic.i.p.ating teams this year! If they weren't considered dark horses, dark horses didn't exist in this world!

Han Jiangxue's output was terrifyingly explosive, and her Chain Lightning Star Technique from Haisu Province indeed gave the team from Beijiang Province the chance to be a pioneer.

Jiang Xiao and his team rested for a while before keeping their guards up and fumbling about. Faced with the nauseating “zombies,” they seemed to have no qualms about touching them.

They managed to obtain two Star Beads from Ancient Warrior Tomahawks, two from Ancient Warrior Warhammers, four from Ice Archers, and a Gold Quality one from the Archer General.

Total number of points: 130.

While harvesting the Star Beads, Xia Yan suddenly asked, “Where did that gust of wind come from?”

Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao were the first to be blown away. The Ancient Warriors immediately threatened them, and hence, did not manage to see the culprit who launched the sneak attack on them.

However, Li Weiyi heard some information. He said, “Someone launched a sneak attack on us and deliberately blew us towards the Ancient Warriors.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including his team members and the audience, was shocked.

Since the team from Beijiang Province was the first to go against the Ancient Warriors, the broadcast signal was on Han Jiangxue's body after the battle began. After all, she was famous.

Plenty of people heard Li Weiyi's words.

Xia Yan's face stiffened, and she questioned, sounding slightly angry, “Who?”

“I vaguely heard her voice when she was telling her teammates to leave. It was rather familiar.”

The Star Technique Perception was truly magical!

Jiang Xiao really wanted to use that Star Technique to increase his physical attributes. Although there was no room for manipulation and he couldn't show them off, it would increase his physical power!

Who wouldn't want to have sharp hearing and vision?

If the quality was upgraded, it might become really powerful?

Li Weiyi suddenly said, “The girl who said that you two have long legs because they're prosthetics.”

Han Jiangxue's face grew sullen, and her domineering aura turned the atmosphere cold.

With fire in her eyes, she clipped, “It's her!?!”
