Chapter 574: A sense of superiority

June 22nd, 7:50 A. M.

In Edo city, the national team checked into a hotel. People were sitting in the small auditorium on the first floor of the hotel.

There were only 21 contestants left in the individual compet.i.tion, and they were all the elites of the elites. There was no doubt that the standards of those who remained were high.

If the team compet.i.tions top 8 could be considered the final circle, then the individual compet.i.tions top 21 would be enough to be called the final circle.

There were 21 contestants from 14 countries.

And among these 14 countries, there were eight European countries.

From this perspective, it was possible to see where the G.o.ds of this world gathered.

Of course, China had three players in the top 21. In terms of the number of players, they were worthy of being the leader.

And this was the result of the Civil War between Xie Xie and Yu Jin.

Yu Jin, who had been locked out of the top 21, had won a series of battles in the past four days. It could be said that he was unstoppable. In the end, he was ranked 22nd in the global ranking, which was a very good result.

After four days of intense compet.i.tion, Yu Jins explosive performance had earned face for the country and his alma mater. It had also changed the countrys evaluation of him.

Today, the national team had the most people. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the draw results on the big screen.

Jiang Xiao was no longer as arrogant as he used to be.

Humans were always like this. It was because of ignorance that he was fearless.

When Jiang Xiao dug out the backgrounds of the other 20 contestants and studied them carefully one by one, he discovered that there were many troublesome people among them.

After all, there were no weaklings who could survive until now.

However, Jiang Xiao also had a certain level of confidence. He didnt get into the top 21 by luck. He made it to the top 21 with real skills.

His journey had been full of b.u.mps!

In particular, the previous battle with George star had indeed allowed Jiang Xiao to see what the real world Cup should be like.

Using the current domestic evaluation of Jiang Xiao in the series,Jiang Xiaos path to the World Cup was so valuable that it made everyone feel hopeless.

From all over the world, they would randomly pick a contestant and fight against Jiang Xiaos opponents. Whether he would win or not would be up to luck.

Until now, most people no longer had any doubts about Jiang Xiaos strength.

They were all praising Jiang Xiao for being an extraordinary genius and that the rare star maps made him a hardworking person.

If you dont have enough star techniques, you can make up for it with your techniques, Jiang Xiao once said in an interview, which was indeed regarded as a cla.s.sic. His swordsmans.h.i.+p had been tested one after another and had been recognized by the officials and the public.

Of course, the public had long believed that Jiang Xiao was a real genius. Although he had few Star Slots, he had a few dual star techniques in one star. To a certain extent, it obviously made up for the loss of Star Slots.

Most importantly, the sound of silence and the gap of time and s.p.a.ce, which were extremely difficult to absorb, were also kept in Jiang Xiaos bag. It could be seen that Jiang Xiaos Big Dipper star map was indeed the best among the auxiliary star maps and was highly compatible with auxiliary star techniques.

Of course, after careful calculation, it didnt seem to be able to make up for it He only had 12 Star techniques in total.

The 12 Star techniques that were revealed to the public included 1 blessing, 2 green glow, 3 endurance, 4 Bell, 5 imprint, 6 nostalgia, 7 dawn, 8 counter-current light, 9 Sound of Silence, 10 s.p.a.ce-time gap, 11 tears of pain, and 12 tears of pain.

One of the star techniques, imprint, was almost useless in a 1V1 match.

Fortunately, the high-quality star techniques green glow and endurance that the little toxic healers parents had exchanged their lives for really gave Jiang Xiao a lot of combat power.

In the world compet.i.tion, most of the players were in the Galaxy stage and none of them had broken through the Galaxy stage. There were 16 Star Slots available in the Galaxy stage.

16 Star Slots versus Jiang Xiaos 12 Star Slots.

People thought that the current stage should be the peak stage that Jiang Xiao could reach and the most powerful stage.

After that, he was powerless.

As the strength of the Star Warriors increased and they entered the Galaxy stage, the number of available Star Slots would leave the little toxic healer in the dust again.

This was a very interesting phenomenon. Ordinary Star Warriors couldnt even get a letter of recommendation from the school, or they had already wasted half their lives in their posts. They might even have no hope of advancing to the Galaxy stage for the rest of their lives and could only use eight Star Slots. However, when facing Jiang Xiao, they felt a faint sense of superiority.

Such a disdainful att.i.tude and a sense of superiority in his heart Hmm, it was indeed an interesting existence.

As the World Cup progressed, Jiang Xiao became the focus of everyones attention. Many people had already begun to come up with ideas for Jiang Xiao, hoping that he would not absorb star pets in his ninth star slot.

If he were to give up on star pets and choose to acquire star techniques, he would be lucky enough to acquire two star techniques in one star slot through the special Big Dipper constellation map. That would further make up for the gap in the number of Star Slots. With 13 or 14 star techniques, he could barely match the number of Star Slots of the most mediocre Star Warriors.

Jiang Xiao had also seriously considered such a proposal, but He still wanted a powerful star pet.

Jiang Xiao was very clear about his own position because the plaster software on his mobile phone was the latest version.

Jiang Xiao knew that he was just an auxiliary. Although he had dominated the individual compet.i.tion, that was just a characteristic of the individual compet.i.tion. He had to go for a 1V1.

However, Jiang Xiao had experienced a real war before and he knew the role of the combat system and the rules awakened on the battlefield.

Compared to being a brutal Star Warrior of the combat system, Jiang Xiao was more willing to be an auxiliary member.

He wanted to be a father. When necessary, he could also be a commander and let the team members become the knives in his hands.

Jiang Xiao had once kicked out and ended the battle on the battlefield.

Second last, who was rus.h.i.+ng towards conkkin, was the best interpretation of saber.

Being able to advance and retreat wasnt an essential quality for Jiang Xiao, but just a bonus for him.

Jiang Xiao felt that his STAR technique configuration was very reasonable. As long as he practiced it to the extreme, he would be able to deal with any situation. He wanted a star pet that was compatible with him, a pet that could accompany him through all the battles.

As for the template of astral pets?

Of course, it would be second last

High damage, high defense, high agility, high perception It was exciting just thinking about it.

Well, it would be even better if he could ride his future pet. The White Mountain snow feather was actually very ideal. However, in order to cooperate with second lasts team, Jiang Xiao didnt have to get the same pet as her.

In the category of star pets, it was still good for the team members to have different pet attributes and star techniques. After all, you didnt know what kind of battlefield you would face in the future.

Another reason why Jiang Xiao was so devoted to acquiring star pets was, of course, the G.o.dly technique-bait.

As the quality of the bait increased, it changed from an illusion to a physical body, and from a physical body that could be instantly killed to a real body that would not break unless the vital parts were hit, and from the real body to a clone that could communicate with the mind.

Based on the evolution trend, Jiang Xiao had enough reason to believe that the high-quality bait would eventually reveal a star map.

Want to take the damage route? Douzhan? CI Zhan? Defensive battle? Fight? Or the different magic cla.s.ses? Of course, he was going to be the bait.

It could form its own system and also integrate into Jiang Xiaos team.

If second last had been unable to find a suitable team member, perhaps she was waiting for the bait to mature?

While he was thinking, Jiang Xiao felt a commotion.

There were only 21 people, and the drawing ceremony went on very quickly. The fourth group, Ming Mings figure appeared in the first seat, the Red Star flag fluttering high.

Hou Mingming was as steady as an old dog, and even now, he still maintained the record for his speed in the individual compet.i.tion.

She was also the only contestant who could make the Chinese people still dare to shout,please welcome the next victim in the sixth round of the drawing ceremony.

However, the matched victim It was a little strong!

The young man had a head full of black hair. He held the Tang sword in a reverse grip and held it horizontally in front of his eyes. On the hilt of the sword, cherry blossoms curled up.

He was one of the host countrys players and was publicly acknowledged to be one of the top four players!

Huaxiu mixed-blood, j.a.panese sword G.o.d, national captain, Saito s.h.i.+ngo!

Jiang Xiao thought to himself, oh no, this fellow is probably one of the few players who have more restraint in the 21-man list.

Before the previous compet.i.tion, Jiang Xiao was interviewed by Wan Ming and ye Xunyang. In response to Wan Mings question, Jiang Xiao answered the key factors of Ming Mings victory. Speed.

Without a doubt,

n.o.buchi Saito was the spokesperson for speed in this world Cup.

This match would really test hou Mingmings close combat skills.

The average player didnt even have the time to get close before they were shot into sieves.

The Hunter G.o.ddess in the last match also tried to shoot at each other with her bow and arrow. After holding on for a long time, she finally tried to fight in close combat. However, she was a little too slow and was killed by a few arrows after clearly seizing the opportunity.

And this s.h.i.+ngo Saito would probably not give houming any chance to react.

Jiang Xiao turned around and looked to the left. He was leaning back against the chair with his arms crossed and staring at the big screen silently before snorting coldly.

At the next moment, hou Mingming actually turned around and made eye contact with Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao blinked.

Her eyes were filled with regret and she stared at Jiang Xiao for a full five seconds. Finally, Jiang Xiao looked up at the big screen and she looked away silently.

There were only 10 groups in total, and one person had a bye.

When Jiang Xiao appeared in Group 9, he had an ominous feeling.

And this premonition soon became a reality!

When Jiang Xiao appeared in the first and second seats, the small auditorium was completely silent. Everyone looked at the big screen nervously and secretly prayed that fate wouldnt joke around

Ding! Ding!

The second character was locked in, and the Red Star flag fluttered high.

Xie Xie tore at his black boxing belt and barged into everyones line of sight.

F * ck your Grandpa Jiang Xiao placed a hand on his forehead and couldnt help but curse.

The auditorium was eerily silent!

In Chinas civil war, Xie Xie had won a series of battles!

The pressure on ones heart to send off a teammate was not ordinary.

No matter who sent away Jiang Xiao or Xie Xie, the public opinion in the country would definitely be a b.l.o.o.d.y storm.

If you beat your teammates, then you must win in the subsequent matches.

On one hand, you carried the hopes of your teammates. On the other hand, if you lost, your grave would be dug up and your corpse would be whipped.

In fact, meeting Xie Xie wasnt the worst option.

If things really went as hou Mingming wished and Jiang Xiao was going to play against hou Mingming in the compet.i.tion, if If Jiang Xiao were to win by luck, he would really have no way back.

Once Jiang Xiao defeated the most promising person to win the World Champions.h.i.+p, he would be judged by the public if he made any mistakes in the future compet.i.tions.

In that case, it wouldnt be the world owes the future a world champion but Jiang Xiao owes the future a world champion.

The small hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. To everyones surprise, Xie Zhen actually stood up.

In the first five rounds of the compet.i.tion, no matter what lot he drew, no matter what opponent he fought, even if he drew his teammate Ember, Xie Xie remained unmoved. Yet this time

Xie Xie walked out from the back of the hall and stood in front of Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao looked up at Xie Xie and moved inward.

Xie Xie didnt sit down. Instead, he spoke indifferently, Dont hold back,

Huh? Jiang Xiao asked.

Dont be distracted by any words,Xie Xie said.

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment and thought, this is

Xie Xie looked at Jiang Xiao and said,Respect the star Warrior profession and also respect me. Do your best and strive for victory.

Well decide victory and defeat. When necessary, well decide life and death. Xie Xie continued,only the stronger one is qualified to wear this uniform and enter the next round.

With that, Xie Xie turned around and left.

Jiang Xiao frowned and thought to himself, Xie Xie is definitely not a flamboyant person. Why did he have to say those words in public?

Jiang Xiaos heart sank. Xie Xie had once fought in a civil war, and he had fought against Yu Jin in the previous match.

Was there any secret to the match between the two of them?

Or was Jiang Xiao overthinking it?

Xie Xie only wanted a battle, a true life-and-death battle.

And not a sparring match that was held back by pressure and public opinion?
