Nine Star Burden

Chapter 495



Chapter 495: There’s no one like me in this world

Jiang Xiao’s ruins of calamity and shadows were no longer as noisy as usual. It took him a lot of effort to clean up the place with the bait. Looking at the empty ruins of calamity and shadows, Jiang Xiao felt empty.

Nine-Tails stayed in the ruins of calamity and shadow, practicing her saber skills all day long, and the air became her imaginary enemy. This place was quiet and no one would disturb him, so it was suitable for him to study hard.

After second last left, Jiang Xiao also resumed his training as an apprentice wasteland reclaimer.

However, a week later, Jiang Xiao’s apprenticeship had to come to an end for the time being, because the school had issued a notice that the three members participating in the national team’s one-on-one selection would leave for xudu city in Zhongyuan province on April 15th.

The school had already contacted a training base for the three students, which was the “peak of the ancient tower” on the outskirts of xudu.

Although it wasn’t the competition ground, the terrain at the top of the ancient tower was similar, and the creatures of other dimensions were exactly the same.

The school’s intention was clear. They wanted the three participants to familiarize themselves with and adapt to the peak of the ancient Pagoda before the exam.

The Star Warriors world Cup would start on June 1st, and the national team’s qualifying tournament was set for April 28th. The schedule would last about a week.

The final selected members of the national team would also have about a month of training and adjustment time before finally setting foot on the journey of the world Arena.

After all, the star Warrior profession was different from other athletes. The contestants of other sports needed a long time of training to improve their skills little by little before they could achieve success.

Of course, the star warrior’s skills were the same. However, due to the particularity of star techniques and star maps, it led to the situation where the star warrior’s strength might soar in a short period of time. In addition, the Galaxy stage was a threshold and a Dragon Gate for the quality to leap. Therefore, the national team had delayed the selection competition to the end of April, which was the latest time limit.

On the 15th of April, Jiang Xiao had no choice but to bid farewell to Han Jiangxue, Xia Yan, and the others.

The selection venue for the national team’s individual competition was different from that of the team competition. Jiang Xiao, hou Mingming, and Zhao Wenlong were going to Zhongyuan province, while Han Jiangxue and her team had to stay in the capital city and wait for elite teams from all over the country to gather there to participate in the team competition.

Jiang Xiao had no choice but to secretly wish Han Jiangxue, song chunxi, and the others well.

Compared to the team that stayed in the capital, Han Jiangxue and the others were obviously more worried about Jiang Xiao, who was alone.

Fortunately, Mr. Fang Xingyun really applied for the position of the team leader and led the three-man team to the competition in the Central Plains, which made Han Jiangxue feel much more relieved.

Beijing Star Warriors University, in front of the school gate.

“Remember to listen to your teacher when you go out. Don’t be naughty, understand?” Han Jiangxue reminded Jiang Xiao softly, making him feel a little helpless.

Han Jiangxue, of course, could sense Jiang Xiao’s attitude, but she pretended not to see it and continued softly,””You’ve already formed an alliance with the other two contestants in the preliminary round. You have to make good use of this. Whether it’s against creatures of other dimensions or opponents from other schools, hide behind them and don’t show off.”

Han Jiangxue wasn’t a talkative person, and the people who came to see her off today were completely enlightened.

Be it Jiang Xiao’s two roommates, the Tianjin trio, or Han Jiangxue’s world Cup team, no one could get a word in. Even Xia Yan, who was usually noisy, couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to cut into the topic, which made the buzzcut extremely anxious …

Well, Xia Yan was no longer a buzzcut girl. Her hair had grown a lot longer after more than a month.

Since she couldn’t get a word in and couldn’t touch her buzz cut, Xia Yan had no choice but to curl up Jiang Xiao’s hair. However, Han Jiangxue gave her a gentle kick on her butt. In the end, Xia Yan pouted and stood aside without saying a word.

Jiang Xiao reluctantly bade farewell to his friends. Under the guidance of teacher Fang, the three of them took a train to the train station. It took about four hours to get from the capital to Xu City by high-speed train, which was convenient and fast.

That night, the four of them rushed to the top of the ancient tower in the western suburbs of the Xu capital. They didn’t enter it for training immediately. Instead, they chose to stay overnight in the military camp and enter the next day.

The dimensional space at the top of the ancient tower was obviously highly developed. It was located on a high mountain and surrounded by a military camp.

Although the peak of the ancient tower was a dimensional space that was open to the outside world, the creatures inside were too fierce, so those who entered had to go through a strict inspection.

The star power level was limited to the Nebula stage. This was a hard indicator and Awakeners in the Stardust stage were forbidden from entering. However, even if you were in the Nebula stage, there was still an additional condition, which was that you must have a Star Warrior in the Galaxy stage to escort you.

If you didn’t have Galaxy stage bodyguards, you could hire the Galaxy soldiers here, and you had to hire two.

It was obvious that the military placed great importance on the lives of both the trainees and soldiers.

The next morning, everyone had breakfast in the military camp. They were full of energy and headed to the main building in the center of the military camp.

With Fang Xingyun, the king of the Galaxy, leading Jiang Xiao, there were no obstacles along the way. However, when Jiang Xiao passed through the star power detection gate, the total amount of star power that he obtained attracted the attention of the soldiers.

For most awakened in the Nebula stage, the beginning of the Galaxy was after the peak of the Nebula stage.

However, the total amount of star power detected in Jiang Xiao’s body had obviously exceeded the scope of the peak of the Nebula stage. However, what was interesting was that there was no qualitative change in the total amount of star power and it was far from the standard of the early stage of the Galaxy.

Jiang Xiao claimed to be a half-step Galaxy because of the Nebula stage level 10 in the internal star map.

Of course, the soldiers didn’t stop Jiang Xiao from entering the arena. They thought to themselves, perhaps this child has a special star pet or STAR technique in his body.

Under the lead of the soldier, the four-man team changed into the uniform camouflage uniform that the trainees had to wear and entered the portal.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Xiao was taken aback.

This was because he had already made sufficient preparations and had searched for all the information about the peak of the ancient tower on the internet.

The dimensional space at the top of the ancient tower was, to put it bluntly, an ancient stone tower. Some busybodies had once tried to break the wall to see the world outside the stone wall, but they had been stirred into the turbulence of time and space, and there had been no news of them ever since.

Since then, the military had made it clear that it was strictly forbidden to break the walls of the ancient tower. Once they were found, not only would they be forbidden from entering the top of the ancient tower for life, but they would also be tried by the law.

Of course, the stone walls were made of special materials and weren’t that easy to destroy. At the very least, it would be difficult to destroy them with pure output. Only green glow, which had special functions like Jiang Xiao ‘s, could probably make a hole with a punch …

Back to the topic, why was Jiang Xiao curious?

This was because the peak of an ancient tower was usually relatively dark, and only the stone pillar in the center provided a little light for each level.

But there were torches on the walls of the ancient tower.

The country had really put in a lot of effort in order to train the trainees. He just didn’t know how many levels the torch had been planted.

One should never assume that the terrain of each level was small. On the contrary, the terrain here was very large, and the area of each level was probably no less than a small village.

The key was to find the entrance to the upper level quickly. Fortunately, the terrain here was flat. If one had a perception-type STAR technique, they would be able to see far away.

The upper and lower levels were connected by stone steps. The passage was not wide, about five meters, so there was a big difference between defending the tower and attacking the tower.

Jiang Xiao clicked his tongue in amazement and strode forward while the rest followed behind. A hundred meters away, there was a huge stone pillar about ten meters in diameter. It was completely white.

On the surface of the white stone pillar, there were a large number of black spots of light. They followed a special trajectory and twisted upwards, like strange black snakes.

Jiang Xiao followed the path of the black light and looked up, only to see the roof of the building six meters away.

At the peak of an ordinary ancient tower, only this stone pillar was emitting light, providing a large area of light for the surroundings.

However, the area was too large each time, and the area that the stone pillar could not reach became a place for the ghost Face monks to wander.

It wasn’t that the ghost-faced monks were afraid of light, they just didn’t want to expose themselves to others.

Therefore, at the top of the ancient tower, if you wanted to avoid encountering creatures of other dimensions as much as possible, it was best to get close to the stone pillar. The closer you were to the stone pillar and the brighter the place, the safer you were.

“Teacher Fang, can we act alone?” She then looked at Fang Xingyun, who was accompanying Jiang Xiao to observe the stone pillar, and asked,”

Fang Xingyun turned around and saw the prideful look on his face. Fang Xingyun thought for a moment and said,””Your preliminaries will be in team mode, not one-on-one.”

After frowning and thinking for a long time, he finally nodded unwillingly.

Fang Xingyun looked at Hou Jian’s extremely uncomfortable expression and smiled as he consoled him,””Let’s climb a few floors first, familiarize ourselves with the surrounding environment, and train how to kill enemies as a team. In the next few days of training, I will allow you to act alone and enter your own training mode and rhythm.”

Obviously, the Queen was a lonely King. Even though she knew that the preliminary round was a group mode, she still pursued being alone out of habit and inner thoughts.

“Xiaoming,” Jiang Xiao suddenly said.

Hou Mingming frowned and looked at Jiang Xiao. Compared to sister pea, hou Mingming disliked the name “Xiaoming”, which was used to answering Chinese and math questions all year round.

Jiang Xiao said,”treasure the opportunity to form a team with me. You won’t be able to find an assistant like me in this world.”

Then, Ming Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Jiang Xiao with a strong will to fight.

She liked this kind of opponent, just like how she couldn’t help but shoot herself in the mirror. That confident, even conceited expression always made her have an extremely strong desire to fight.

The dueling King of Beijing’s star Warriors was not an undeserved reputation.

It wasn’t that easy to be above others.

Powerful star techniques, star power, and a strong body can be combined to form a powerful warrior?

No, definitely not.

Of the three students,

Regardless of the arrogant and conceited hou Mingming, the cheeky Jiang Xiao, or the seemingly calm Zhao Wenlong, they all had a stubborn streak in their bones.

Just like the old saying,”if you don’t go crazy, you can’t live.”

Jiang Xiao looked at hou Mingming, raised his head with a smile, and said,””Lead the way?”

Houming casually grabbed it, and The Black Bow quietly appeared. The corners of her crystal-like lips slightly raised,””As you wish.”
