Of course Han Jiangxue hoped that her good friend could break through the Nebula stage and reach the Stellar River stage, or even enter the Star Sea stage, so that her star power would be strong and she could use a star-powered body even without Jiang Xiao.

However, even if Xia Yan was given another four years of university…

Han Jiangxue was considering Xia Yan's future.

Xia Yan, on the other hand, was considering several competitions in the next six months. Exchanging a star slot for good results was worth it!

Besides, this skill was not a complete waste. It was, after all, a Gold-quality star bead with extremely strong destructive power. Xia Yan didn't think she had suffered much of a loss.

She was pessimistic about whether she could absorb the Gold-quality star technique, Star-powered Body.

"Give it to me, Xuexue. If I can really slap a Yuan Gui king to death, that would be too awesome." Xia Yan said with a smile, beckoning to Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao, who spread his hands and said, "Even if I had two more star slots, it wouldn't be her turn to absorb it. I only have so few star slots now, and I have already planned what type of star techniques each one needs to absorb."

Xia Yan beckoned to Han Jiangxue again, then turned to look at Jiang Xiao, teasing, "Oh? You even have a plan?"

Jiang Xiao snorted and said, "You have to have a dream, what if it comes true?"

Xia Yan took the star bead thrown by Han Jiangxue. She had just consumed a lot of star power, so she needed to replenish it. She smiled dismissively and said, "Dreams are for…"

"Holy crap!?"

Jiang Xiao muttered in a low voice, "I can understand you abandoning your dream, tearing it to shreds, but why do you have to…"

"Gulp." Xia Yan's Adam's apple wriggled. She stood there blankly. After a full 40 seconds, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao with a silly expression.

Everyone realized what might have happened and looked shocked.

Jiang Xiao was even more excited and asked, probing, "You succeeded? You absorbed it in one go?"

Xia Yan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and looked at Jiang Xiao seriously, "No."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Xia Yan had a mischievous smile on her face, as if two devil horns had grown on her head, "I wasn't happy because I didn't absorb the star technique. I was so sad, of course I had to find some fun for myself. Seeing your expression now makes me feel a lot better."

You little rascal!

Jiang Xiao waved his hand suddenly, and a Blessing fell on Xia Yan's head.

The mischievous smile on Xia Yan's face immediately froze, her mind lost control, and she let out an alluring nasal sound: "Mmm~"

Jiang Xiao's team was obviously a team that was being closely watched because of their boldness and recklessness.

At the same time, there was another team that was also being closely watched by the guardians and examiners, and that was Gao Junwei's team.

At this moment, just as Jiang Xiao and the others were laughing and enjoying the joy of victory, Gao Junwei, who was far away in the forest in front of mission point number 2, was also smiling.

Because their team's plan was very successful. The team members waited comfortably, not only collecting a lot of bright yellow weapons and medals, but also attacking the team's competitors.

Gao Junwei's team, team number 24, was really strong. During the robbery, most teams chose to swallow their anger and hand over their team's harvest, hoping to leave the mission point as soon as possible and seize more mission items in the forest. There was still hope.

It must be said that Gao Junwei's team's selection of location was indeed very good. Most teams chose to swallow their anger because Gao Junwei's team gave them a way out.

Of course, they were all 17- or 18-year-old kids, all young and vigorous, and there were also many who refused to accept this.

And the ultimate fate of these students was not good.

Now, the students who had been beaten to a bloody pulp in front of them were the best example.

This team didn't seem to have done their homework and didn't know the level of strength of the various teams participating in the competition.

When this team from the northernmost city of Bei Jiang province happily received the purple medal at mission point number 2, carrying a lot of bright yellow weapons, and prepared to return, they encountered Gao Junwei's team in the forest not far from the mission point.

Next was the stage of "disagreement leads to a life-or-death battle".

Unfortunately, although these children had the courage to resist, they did not have the strength to match it.

Four students, three melee and one magic-type, except for the female magic-type, all three melee types were knocked unconscious, their clothes torn, their heads broken, and their situation was extremely miserable.

Gao Junwei's arm was already wrapped with a lot of "headbands". Although these headbands were of little use to Gao Junwei, each headband was worth a hundred points to its original owner.

Before the competition, the official rules clearly stated that headbands, as video equipment, would have points deducted if damaged, and the official retained the right to recall participants.

The headband was something that directly concerned the life and death of the team.

Gao Junwei tore off the headbands of several melee fighters, crossed them several times, and put them on his left arm.

In fact, it was Yu Zhen who suggested that Gao Junwei tie the robbed headbands on his arm.

According to Yu Zhen, this would not only show the team's strength and record, but also deter other teams, achieving multiple goals with half the effort.

Gao Junwei thought it made a lot of sense, so he listened to Yu Zhen's suggestion.

Essentially, he also felt that wearing blood-stained headbands on his arm would look very cool, so he did it.

Commander Zhang Mingming and Yu Zhen glanced at each other silently at the time and did not speak.

Gao Junwei turned to look at the female magic-type who was sitting on the ground crying.

Gao Junwei looked at the sobbing girl with disgust and sneered, "If you had handed over your weapons earlier, wouldn't there have been so much trouble?"

The girl endured the pain, feeling both regret and hatred in her heart. She wished that these robbers would all die, but the current situation made her extremely regretful. If she had handed over the bright yellow weapons when the other party asked for them, her team would not have been completely eliminated.

In her regret, the girl only felt herself being kicked over and lying on the ground. Then, the hateful boy stepped on her neck.

"Ah!" The girl quickly hugged her head with both hands, because she felt that the other party was taking her headband.

"Oh? You still have the guts to resist?" Gao Junwei mocked.

"Let me go, I'll give you all those weapons, please, let me go." The girl sobbed and begged for mercy.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Weiliang opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and went to collect the weapons, without saying a word.

Gao Junwei curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Your teammates have all lost their qualifications to participate in the competition. They will all be taken away by the soldiers in a while. What are you doing here alone? Are you going to kill enough yellow weapons by yourself? Are you going to drag the entire team into the semi-finals by yourself?"

Gao Junwei hoped to wrap another headband around his arm. After several loot-grabbing operations, he had begun to like seeing the expressions on the faces of other team members when they saw his arm.

The girl lying on the ground hugged her head with both hands, or rather, covered her headband. Her body trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was because she was crying in frustration or shivering in anger. She did not respond to Gao Junwei.

"Someone's coming." Yu Zhen suddenly said.

Commander Zhang Mingming turned around and looked in Yu Zhen's direction.

Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Gao Junwei squatted down and tugged at the girl's headband, shouting, "Let go!"

But the girl held on to the headband tightly, putting up a last-ditch effort.

Like most children who are bullied on campus, the girl was only "resisting", seemingly to show the last bit of stubbornness in her heart, but there was not a shred of "resistance".

Seeing that the headband was about to be torn, but the girl still didn't let go.

Gao Junwei's temper flared up and he became extremely impatient. He simply stopped tugging at the headband. He stood up and kicked the girl hard in the back of the head, cursing, "I told you to let go!"

Zhang Mingming suddenly shouted, "2-1-1."

"Huh? An acquaintance." Gao Junwei had to stop what he was doing and ran to the front of the team. He saw a familiar figure, "Don't hide, where do you think you can hide, Little Cannon?"

A figure walked out of the forest not far away.

Leading the way, full of momentum.

This was a young man who was not tall but extremely strong. He was Gao Junwei's former classmate, Xing Lang.

Xing Lang carefully examined the battlefield. When he saw this scene, the fire in Xing Lang's heart surged up.

Xing Lang was as fiery as fire to begin with. Hearing Gao Junwei's mockery, he couldn't help but scold back, "You're talking out of your ass, would I hide from you!?"

The captain rushed out, and the team members were quite helpless and hurriedly followed.

Shield Warrior Zheng Jiang came to Xing Lang's side, as a way of supporting his captain.

However, having been Gao Junwei's classmate, he knew Gao Junwei's strength very well.

Zheng Jiang really didn't want to have a conflict with Gao Junwei!
