Chapter 174 She Wants to Eliminate Yu Zhen First

Jiang Xiao pressed the play button. The next moment, a figure shot up into the sky—it was Gao Junwei!

"Wow, that blade is indeed something!" Jiang Xiao sighed with admiration.

Gao Junwei hadn't jumped on his own; he had been swept up by the guan dao (偃月刀).

Jiang Xiao finally understood that when Xia Yan said "the blade is good," she wasn't referring to Wu Haoyang's star map Qinglong guan dao (青龙偃月刀Azure Dragon Guan Dao), nor to the guan dao in Wu Haoyang's hand, but to Wu Haoyang's handsome moves!

On the screen, Wu Haoyang's body was slightly to the side, one hand wielding the blade, rushing forward, the large blade drawing a beautiful arc in front of him.

Flickering red light danced on the blade, imbued with the slight effect of Blood Fangs.

Gao Junwei hurriedly raised his Tang blade to block.

To everyone's shock, when the guan dao swept past, the Tang blade in Gao Junwei's hand shattered!

Gao Junwei's family was so wealthy that Jiang Xiao didn't believe his blade was a defective product.

And Wu Haoyang's Blood Fangs were only of bronze quality, and none of his companions had activated their Blood Fangs. Jiang Xiao also didn't believe that the Tang blade shattered because of the tearing effect of Blood Fangs.

Therefore, there were probably two reasons for this outcome.

Either Wu Haoyang had the absolute upper hand in strength.

Or Wu Haoyang's star power level had surpassed Gao Junwei's by a whole realm.

On the computer screen, the guan dao swept past, the Tang blade shattered, and the blade aura stirred up by the guan dao was "belatedly" arriving, the fiery arc hitting Gao Junwei's wide-open chest.

Gao Junwei's figure flew diagonally backwards, crashing far into the forest.

Jiang Xiao turned his head to look at Li Wei, and saw a solemn expression on his face as well.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Star Cloud Pinnacle?"

Xia Yan "hmph"-ed and said, "Look at his star map, how thick the layers of that Star Cloud are, it's almost condensing into water, it's definitely Star Cloud Pinnacle."

Li Wei nodded. Apart from Jiang Xiao, the three of them were all in the late Star Cloud stage. Han Jiangxue should be slightly ahead of them, but she hadn't reached the threshold of Star Cloud Pinnacle.

What did Star Cloud Pinnacle mean?

It not only meant more star power in total, and a greater extent of star skill usage.

It also meant that physical fitness and physical attributes in all aspects were superior to others.

Li Wei looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "Thank goodness we retreated at the time. If we had fought, and lost arms and legs, and couldn't heal before the rematch, the loss would have been huge."

Han Jiangxue said in a timely manner, "Alright, it's good to have a rough understanding of them. We don't need to put too much effort into Wu Haoyang's team for now."

Jiang Xiao watched as the video was about to end, and asked curiously, "What happened afterwards?"

Xia Yan said disdainfully, "What else could have happened? Gao Junwei was defeated and fled."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao searched and began to look at the video of team number 24, which was the team of Jiangbin Third High School, Gao Junwei's team.

"Here." Jiang Xiao suddenly pressed the pause button. On the screen, after Yu Zhen was sent flying back by Zhang Hui and the flaming arc, a faint mist of ice suddenly rose from her body.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Han Jiangxue and asked, "Ice Cave, Ice Soul?"

Han Jiangxue nodded with satisfaction. Never mind how many points Jiang Xiao scored on his other-dimensional culture class, at least he was very knowledgeable about the other-dimensional creature star beads of the surrounding provinces.

Nonsense, how could Jiang Xiao not be knowledgeable? He couldn't buy star beads from provinces that were too far away, so Jiang Xiao could only look for usable star beads in the other-dimensional spaces of neighboring provinces.

Among the neighboring Da Meng Province, Zhong Ji Province, and Liaodong Province, within the range that Jiang Xiao could access, there were two kinds of star beads that made Jiang Xiao's heart beat faster.

One was the Ghost Tiger star bead from the third-level Star Descent in Da Meng Province.

It had four star skills:

1. Perception (Silver)

2. Sharpness (Silver)

3. Swiftness (Silver)

4. Battle Howl (Gold)

But Jiang Xiao couldn't buy the Ghost Tiger star bead. If he wanted to have the Swiftness star skill, he could only settle for the star bead of the Dog-Headed Walker in the second-level Star Descent.

But the Dog-Headed Walker only had one star and three skills, lacking a gold-quality Battle Howl. Jiang Xiao didn't want to wrong himself, so he didn't buy it.

The other star bead that made Jiang Xiao's heart beat faster was the one from the characteristic other-dimensional space jointly owned by Zhong Ji and Liaodong: Ice Cave.

In the Ice Cave, there was a kind of other-dimensional creature called Ice Soul.

The Ice Soul had three star skills:

1. Ice Dart (Bronze)

2. Ice Mist Armor (Silver)

3. Ice Roar (Gold)

One star bead, three star skills, and all of them were of different qualities, which was quite interesting.

These three star skills had both output and defense, which was quite ideal.

Moreover, every time Jiang Xiao saw "Ice Roar," he could always think of an old game.

And he could always think of two sentences: Divine grace is like the sea, divine might is like a prison.

However, the Ice Cave was also not open to the public, so Jiang Xiao couldn't buy the Ice Soul's star bead at all. Even if he managed to get his hands on it by any means, upgrading it in the future would be a big problem, so Jiang Xiao gave up on this idea.

Now it seemed,

This Yu Zhen was really awesome. Putting aside everything else, her family must be rich and powerful. She not only had the gold-quality Blue Crown Scepter, but also absorbed the Ice Mist Armor of the Ice Soul.

Thinking about it, she probably wanted to absorb "Ice Roar" but didn't succeed, and instead absorbed Ice Mist Armor.

After all, she had shown her star map, and in her staff star map, only 1 star slot was golden.

Eh?

Wait, something's not right.

If she had the Ice Mist Armor star skill, why didn't she use it before getting hit?

Instead, she started stacking armor after getting hit?

This was obviously not in line with common sense...

"This Ice Mist Armor shouldn't be Yu Zhen's star skill, right?" Jiang Xiao said with a frown.

"Mm." Han Jiangxue held a few pieces of paper and sat on the sofa next to Jiang Xiao, handing him the information.

Jiang Xiao looked at the list of Zhang Mingming's star skills collected by the school, and secretly praised, "What a pity. If this Zhang Mingming had absorbed Ice Roar, the danger coefficient would definitely increase geometrically."

As expected,

Ice Mist Armor wasn't Yu Zhen's, but the healing awakened Zhang Mingming's.

Zhang Mingming's eight star slots were: Azure Glow, Endurance, Blessing, Bait, Clock Bell,承印 (Cheng Yin), Vine, Ice Mist Armor.

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "This Zhang Mingming is someone who uses his brain after all, and he has all the star skills he should have."

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, he's lucky enough to have learned Ice Mist Armor instead of the bronze-quality Ice Dart."

Li Wei echoed, "That's right, and that Ice Mist Armor is nothing much. It can only frostbite close-range attackers and doesn't affect long-range attackers. Xia Yan and I both have Flame Arc and Burst Flame, and you even have Torch Whip and Torch Pillar. That Ice Mist Armor should shatter with a single whip."

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "The silver-quality Ice Mist Armor is indeed not that strong. The problem is that this Zhang Mingming has healing, control, and can add defense. The skill combination is very good. I think we should solve him first."

Jiang Xiao was quite disdainful in his heart.

This Zhang Mingming sounded quite comprehensive, but one skill of his was worth eight of Zhang Mingming's.

Healing?

My Blessing can heal.

Control?

My Blessing can also control.

Defense?

My Blessing...

I have Blessing, who needs defense!

You just say who you want to hit, I'll send him a Blessing, and we'll just take him down!

But Jiang Xiao didn't show it. He scratched his head in a very cooperative manner, looking puzzled, and asked, "Isn't it normal to focus fire on the healer in a team fight?"

Han Jiangxue flipped through the information sheet in Jiang Xiao's hand, and took the page below, "Xia Yan wants to solve her first."

"Yu Zhen?" Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and saw Yu Zhen's information, "She was seriously injured, can she still participate?"

Han Jiangxue said, "She should be able to. The medical star warriors equipped for the competition are all of very high rank."

Jiang Xiao nodded and continued to look at Yu Zhen's information,

24 star slots,

Late Star Cloud stage!

Wow, this mage is a bit fierce. Her physical fitness is definitely explosive.

No wonder she was able to catch up to Zhang Hui in the armory back then. You have to know, Zhang Hui is a close-range fighter, and a speed-based fighter at that.

Looking at her star skills:

Azure Glow, Endurance, Scorching Flame, Burst Flame, Flame Fissure, Unknown, Unknown, Deep Blue Scepter.

2 Bronze, 5 Silver, 1 Gold!

And there were 2 unknown silver-quality star skills.

No one knew what kind of star skills were embedded in those two silver star slots. The information sheet stated very clearly that they were likely to be passive star skills, possibly increasing some aspect of physical attributes, or possibly increasing lightning magic damage.

It couldn't be ruled out that Yu Zhen had been hiding active star skills all along.

But this possibility was very small.

The greater possibility was a passive skill that increased lightning magic damage.

Because Yu Zhen's Deep Blue Scepter star skill was really frighteningly strong!

Its power was really strong. She hadn't reached the Star River stage yet, but she seemed to be able to exert 100% of the effect of the Deep Blue Scepter.

This was also the reason why Xia Yan suggested solving Yu Zhen first.

The Deep Blue Scepter came down from the sky with astonishing speed. As long as Yu Zhen stayed on the field for one more second, she had the ability to instantly kill enemies.

Even if she was the only one left on the field, she had the possibility of making a comeback.

The gold-quality star skill was indeed of great power to these high school students, and could completely dominate life and death.

Not to mention a mage output who could fully exert the power of the gold-quality star skill.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao and asked, "What do you think? Which one should we focus fire on first? Zhang Mingming or Yu Zhen?"

Xia Yan also looked at Jiang Xiao with great anticipation, wondering what his choice would be.

Jiang Xiao held the information, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "You're all very right in your considerations. I think we should focus fire on Gao Junwei first."

Li Wei: "..."

Han Jiangxue: "..."

Xia Yan: "..."
