Weak Chicken

Chapter 29 Weakling

The approaching White Ghoul wasn't afraid at all, viciously tearing apart the person in front of it.

However, what happened next not only astonished the White Ghoul but also crashed Xia Yan's brain.

Because what the White Ghoul tore apart was indeed the ever-forward Jiang Xiao, shimmering with the light of a Silver Quality Star Slot, but this Jiang Xiao was just an illusory figure.

Whoosh. The illusory yet realistic figure was instantly torn apart by the White Ghoul. The White Ghoul fell to the ground, rolling forward to dissipate the force. And in front of it, a knee strike flashing with Cyan Glow came crashing down.

Brass Star Technique: Lure! Silver Quality Star Technique: Cyan Glow! This was a combo.

The White Ghoul's forward roll came to an abrupt halt. Still crouching and not yet steady, its dark face was met squarely by Jiang Xiao's knee.

This knee strike was powerful and heavy, combined with the Silver Quality Star Technique "Cyan Glow," directly sending the White Ghoul flying backward in a "T" shape, probably 4 or 5 meters.

Jiang Xiao followed up, his feet exploding with scattered Snowflakes.

He leaped sideways, his right elbow viciously aimed at the dark face of the White Ghoul lying on the ground, sliding backward.

Bang! Although Jiang Xiao had used all his strength, his power was not enough to completely kill the White Ghoul.

But the "Cyan Glow" Star Technique was truly too powerful. The added knock-back effect of the upgraded quality directly smashed the White Ghoul's head into the snow.

The White Ghoul's head even went through the thick snow, directly smashed into the earth.

In an instant, a large pit was blasted out of the ground, snowflakes danced wildly, and the air surged.

The next moment, a Great Blade fell from the sky, grazing Jiang Xiao's waist, directly piercing into the ground, piercing through the poor White Ghoul's waist and abdomen.

Xia Yan had indeed found a tricky angle. Jiang Xiao was indeed lying on the White Ghoul, elbowing the opponent, but his body did not completely cover the White Ghoul; instead, he pounced on it at an angle.

"I lack effective finishing moves. My strength is not enough. I rely entirely on the special effects of the Star Techniques to achieve this," Jiang Xiao said, getting up.

But his tattered collar was grabbed by a hand! Xia Yan grabbed Jiang Xiao and pulled him in front of her, saying in a deep voice, "Would you like to explain the situation just now?"

Jiang Xiao felt her sharp eyes and the hot breath on his face. Jiang Xiao was uncomfortable and a little embarrassed.

At 16 years old, he was full of energy, and his young body was easily impulsive. Jiang Xiao subconsciously retreated, but Xia Yan didn't allow such a movement.

Helpless, Jiang Xiao, who was pulled back, could only use a joke to ease his embarrassment: "Hello, Xia Yan, I'm your new teammate, Jiang Xiao."

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows, tilted her head slightly, and stared intently into Jiang Xiao's eyes with a burning gaze: "Jiang Xiao? No more fooling around?"

Jiang Xiao: "Uh"

Xia Yan: "Stop talking nonsense! Your second Star Technique is Bronze Quality, how did it become Silver Quality just now?"

Jiang Xiao's face tried to tilt backward, and he said, "Hello, Xia Yan, I'm your new teammate, Jiang Xiao."

Xia Yan grabbed Jiang Xiao's collar and shook him back and forth, her voice filled with excitement and curiosity: "Also, your first Star Slot is inlaid with the 'Blessing' Star Technique, but what did I see just now? The Star Technique 'Lure'?"

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said, "Hello, Xia Yan, I'm your new"

Xia Yan threw Jiang Xiao into the snow, stomping her feet fiercely: "Are you a repeating machine?"

Under her feet, the White Ghoul, with its dying breath, let out a whimper, finally ending its painful life.

Xia Yan quickly harvested the White Ghoul's Star Bead, grabbed Jiang Xiao, who was patting his clothes, and quickly left this place of trouble.

"What exactly is going on?" The two walked side by side, Xia Yan asking anxiously.

Jiang Xiao sighed and said, "You know, the road to protecting Han Jiangxue is long and arduous, but I firmly believe that as long as I have perseverance and determination, I will eventually complete my great boyfriend dream and realize it."

Xia Yan was clearly on the verge of going berserk, squeezing out a sentence from between her teeth: "If you talk nonsense again, I'll nail you to this tree, you believe it or not?"

"Then stay away from me, my ears are itchy," Jiang Xiao said quickly.

"Hmph." Xia Yan shook off Jiang Xiao, her curious gaze drifting over, signaling him to speak quickly.

"I have nine Star Slots. According to the world's perspective, when they first see my Star Chart, they have already judged my aptitude and potential," Jiang Xiao said.

Xia Yan: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao explained, "But that's not the case. Both of my Star Slots are One Star Double Technique."

Xia Yan opened her small mouth slightly, looking at Jiang Xiao in surprise, saying in disbelief, "Blessing, Lure, Cyan Glow, and Endurance, you have them all?"

Jiang Xiao nodded: "Yes, I have them all."

Xia Yan was slightly stunned. This once-unpromising naughty child in her eyes was so powerful? One Star Double Technique, such a situation is very rare, but it's not unheard of.

What really concerned Xia Yan was the Star Technique that could upgrade in quality.

Jiang Xiao said in a timely manner, "In fact, when I awakened my Star Techniques, I already felt that my Star Techniques could increase in strength. I discussed this issue with Han Jiangxue. She didn't quite believe it at the time, but the facts prove that I did it."

Even after seeing it with her own eyes and hearing it with her own ears, Xia Yan still confirmed again in disbelief, "You can really improve the quality of Star Techniques?"

Jiang Xiao stopped wasting words and directly opened his Big Dipper Nine Stars Chart.

Under the sway of thin Star Dust, above the second Star Slot, the Star Slot that should have been emitting Brass light had indeed turned into Silver quality.

"This is really," Xia Yan muttered to herself with a shocked expression, "unbelievable."

"Han Jiangxue once told me seriously not to easily show off the One Star Double Technique, but we are our own people, right?" Jiang Xiao said.

"After you show all of this, we are even more our own people," Xia Yan said in admiration. "Even if you didn't show these things, your sister's face is enough to let you benefit from me for life. She even talked to me about arranging a job for you after graduation."

Jiang Xiao: "."

I'm only in First Year of High School, and you're already arranging a job for me? Can't you help me solve the partner issue too?

Xia Yan asked again, "How do you improve the Quality of your Star Technique? Are there any requirements? Can the healing-type 'Blessing' Star Technique be upgraded in Quality?"

"Yes," Jiang Xiao said simply, and Xia Yan's beautiful eyes lit up instantly.

This world is dotted with stars, with a dazzling Star River, but the bright starry eyes in front of Jiang Xiao were undoubtedly more beautiful and charming.

"What are the conditions?" Xia Yan asked hurriedly.

"Self-training and Star Beads of the same type," Jiang Xiao answered crisply, without being overly sentimental.

You give me Star Beads, and I'll escort you and Han Jiangxue through the final sprint of Third Year of High School and onto a relatively brighter path in life. This was the immediate priority.

Of course, Jiang Xiao didn't think of this as a matter of course or an equal exchange. He had already etched Xia Yan's kindness towards him in his heart. If he could really help her get into a top university in the future, it would be a way of repaying Xia Yan.

Ultimately, Jiang Xiao was more concerned about Han Jiangxue's future.

According to Xia Yan, getting a spot in a prestigious university required shining brightly in various competitions.

Better schools meant better resources, better teachers, and more opportunities.

If the resolute Xia Yan was destined to choose to disband the team to protect their lives, Jiang Xiao was willing to help her, and also to repay Han Jiangxue, who had given him everything.

Xia Yan's rich second-generation wilfulness suddenly flared up, and she asked very domineeringly, "How many do you need?"

Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know how many I need. If I have similar Star Beads, and I keep training and fusing, I guess I can upgrade the Quality?"

Xia Yan nodded thoughtfully and asked again, "Is there an upper limit to the Quality improvement? Can 'Cyan Glow' be upgraded to Gold Quality?"

"Yes, but if I upgrade the Quality again, I won't be able to handle it," Jiang Xiao said something that left Xia Yan dumbfounded.

Xia Yan: "Huh?"

"My Star Power is weak. Just now, using a Silver Quality 'Cyan Glow' took up a small half of the Star Power in my body," Jiang Xiao said sullenly.

Xia Yan was still immersed in a beautiful dream, but Jiang Xiao suddenly dragged her back to reality.

She looked at Jiang Xiao in astonishment, and after a full three seconds, she fiercely rubbed Jiang Xiao's head and said angrily:

"You weakling!"
