Nine Star Burden

he Melee Infantry.
What could a cavalry do during a battle?

Would a team of four really need a cavalry?

Perhaps, Mr.
Li was extremely knowledgeable and perhaps, Li Weiyi might eventually turn into a combat warrior who owned a round shield and a sledgehammer, holding a high status in the teams in China.

Xia Yan walked towards Han Jiangxue and naturally held onto her arm.
While watching the two people who were fighting on the battlefield, she said, “All the Star Beads that we obtain within those fifteen days will belong to us.
The school will not take any.”

“Well, this is a good thing, maybe we can all break through the middle of Nebula Stage,” Li Weiyi said while exchanging strikes with Jiang Xiao.
“I think the school’s initiative is great because they’re constantly pushing us to the limits in order to breakthrough.
Training in school is not challenging enough because we know each other’s tactics and fighting styles all too well.
Hence, fighting is going to be boring.”

Oh?

Boring?

Is he poking fun at me?

Jiang Xiao raised his hand and gave Li Weiyi a Blessing.
While Li Weiyi was stunned, Jiang Xiao punched him.

Li Weiyi and Jiang Xiao gasped at the same time.
Li Weiyi was on the verge of tears, as he was overwhelmed with excruciating pain in his nose.

On the other hand, Jiang Xiao was worried that the handsome Li Weiyi might become disfigured.
If Li Qingmei were to find that her boyfriend’s high nose bridge had collapsed, she would definitely deal with Jiang Xiao.

Li Weiyi raised his hand and continuously waved it, hinting for him to stop.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao had no idea if Li Weiyi was in pain or feeling a great sense of pleasure.
The feeling of having an injured nose while bathing in sacred light was a miraculous feeling.

“Try to get used to it.
There are indeed some side effects to Xiaopi’s Silver Quality Star Technique, Blessing.
You’d better get used to it as soon as possible.
I hope you won’t get distracted when facing the White Ghouls,” Han Jiangxue said.

Li Weiyi put a hand on his nose and sat on the ground while moaning in pleasure.
He then said in a shaky voice, “Okay, Commander…”

Han Jiangxue turned to look at Jiang Xiao and instructed, “Go ahead.”

“Okay.” Jiang Xiao scratched his head and healed Li Weiyi again.

While Li Weiyi was basking in the miraculous sensation, Han Jiangxue turned to look at Xia Yan who was beside her.
“Xiaopi has already told me about it.
If he continuously uses White Ghoul Star Beads to replenish his Star Power during the competition, he’ll be able to upgrade Green Glow and Endurance to Gold Quality very quickly.”

Xia Yan’s face lit up with joy before turning sullen again.
“This is good news for us now.
But, a Gold Quality Green Glow has yet to surface in this world, so it’s hard to explain.

“I’m also afraid that he might seem too shocked, but I’m even more afraid that he might be in danger.
His abilities can definitely make up for his weakness of only having nine star slots.
No country would be willing to see a rising star in China.

“There are Star Beads in Korea that can disguise Star Maps.
In fact, even their faces can be changed too.
Those Star Beads cost a bomb and are too difficult to reserve.
Besides, it’s of Gold Quality and would be difficult for Xiaopi to absorb it,” Xia Yan said with a frown.

Han Jiangxue said, “He has very few star slots.
Why waste it on this? He might as well just not light up his Star Map.”

“Have you talked to him about this?” Xia Yan thought about it and persuaded.
“He’s become much more mature now.
Don’t be deceived by his glib tongue.
Look at the way he performed during the school tournament.
He really is very mature and reliable.”

Han Jiangxue opened her eyes and glanced at Jiang Xiao who was rather far away, after which she expressed assent.

“Don’t be like this.
Xuexue, talk to him.” Xia Yan held Han Jiangxue’s arm tightly.

Han Jiangxue suddenly turned around to look at Xia Yan.
“Three years ago, my parents left and I thought I’d be able to give Xiaopi a stable life no matter how recalcitrant, incompetent, and insensible he is.
I thought that I’d be able to protect him.

“But for the first time, I feel really incompetent.
If my parents are still around, Xiaopi might not have to be so restricted.
I… I… still… ” Han Jiangxue said in a soft voice that was rather distressing.

Xia Yan pursed her lips and comforted her.
“Don’t say that, if it weren’t for your guidance as his guardian for the past few years, he would have been beaten or starved to death.”

Han Jiangxue looked at the extremely comfortable and sluggish Li Weiyi.
She then turned to look at the heavily panting Jiang Xiao.
“Xiaopi.”

Jiang Xiao stopped and turned around.

“Come here,” Han Jiangxue said while waving at him.

“Oh.” Jiang Xiao walked towards them and looked at Han Jiangxue in bewilderment.

Han Jiangxue looked down at Jiang Xiao.
With complicated emotions in her gloomy eyes, she put a hand on his head and rubbed it gently.
“It’s been hard on you,” she said softly.

Jiang Xiao was completely stunned.

It was the first time that Han Jiangxue had ever been so gentle with him since he traveled to this world.
It was also the first time she had ever encouraged and affirmed him.

No matter how hard Jiang Xiao worked before, Han Jiangxue would never bat an eyelid.

What happened?

Could it be… that I’ve progressed in tackling Han Jiangxue?
