Yu
Chapter 167 Harvest
The battle in the snowy field was in full swing. For Jiang Xiao, this kind of situation was already commonplace.
Although he couldn't say he had conquered the snowy field, he was as familiar and adapted to it as if he were strolling in his own backyard.
In the past thirty days, besides Jiang Xiao's physique becoming stronger, there were also some changes in his Inner Star Map.

In the past month, Erwei didn't take Jiang Xiao to see the Holy Ruins in the snowy field, but instead took Jiang Xiao to the north and south, and saw many "Space-Time Tunnels" guarded by the Night Watchers.
Those Space-Time Tunnels were similar to each other, and were almost the same as the so-called Holy Ruins Teleportation Gate, except that they were not as wide.
With Erwei by his side, the Night Watcher Corps didn't lock Jiang Xiao up either.
In fact, Jiang Xiao believed that Erwei was using a unique way to tell the Night Watcher Corps, or her superiors, that she had found a suitable teammate.
Perhaps because he visited various Space-Time Tunnels in the snowy field, which could be regarded as going deep into the enemy's hinterland, Jiang Xiao slaughtered a total of 8 White Ghoul Wizards.
He absorbed 7 White Ghoul Wizard Star Beads, and left one White Ghoul Wizard Star Bead, preparing to go back and exchange it for money to buy the so-called Torch Star Bead for Han Jiangxue.
According to Xia Yan, the Torch Star Bead was kept only because Ruifeng Chamber of Commerce gave her face, otherwise it would have been gone long ago.
Before Jiang Xiao entered the snowy field, he did an online search for the Torch Star Bead. The Star Technique contained within was really good, and it was worthy of the Xia family's face.
Jiang Xiao also understood that the Chamber of Commerce was just a recycling station for the upper class.
Common people like Jiang Xiao could take Star Beads to sell, and the price offered by the Chamber of Commerce was higher than the national recycling price. But if you want to buy some powerful Star Beads in the Chamber of Commerce?
No way.
This Torch Star Bead was only kept because Xia Yan spoke up.
Selling this White Ghoul Wizard Star Bead in Jiang Xiao's hand would bring in 200,000 oceans, but don't hold any hope for what you can buy with it.
Wanting to pan for gold in the Chamber of Commerce was probably impossible in this lifetime.
Although he couldn't pan for gold, the land of Huaxia was vast and the Basic Technique Star Beads in other provinces were also good. As long as there was a large quantity, sufficient supply, and special effects, they could be used.
However, due to the Yearning halo, Erwei's management of him was extremely strict. She had already given him a death order, telling him not to absorb other Star Techniques recently. She would personally help him collect them, or personally take him to fight...
Jiang Xiao didn't know whether to be happy or troubled by this.
Getting back to the topic,
Besides Blessing and Decoy leveling up a little, Jiang Xiao's Green Glow and Endurance also improved by a small level.
In the snowy field, everything was lacking, except for White Ghouls.
Not only that, Jiang Xiao still had 50 White Ghoul Star Beads, which he planned to keep as supplies for future battles.
Because Jiang Xiao consciously saved White Ghoul Star Beads, used the Yearning halo, and his combat power increased, which made the battles end faster and faster, Jiang Xiao relied more on absorbing Star Power to restore his state.
The good news was that, in the third section of Basic Techniques, the Silver Quality Abundant Star Power actually improved by a small level.
In the Basic section, besides Abundant Star Power, Jiang Xiao also improved a lot in other Basic Techniques.
The most typical ones were Hand-to-Hand Combat and Dagger Mastery!
Under Erwei's careful guidance, Jiang Xiao's hand-to-hand combat and dagger skills both reached Silver Quality Lv.4.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was a huge improvement.
They were all Silver Quality. Each small level up was equivalent to a large level of Bronze Quality. In the past month, Jiang Xiao had forcibly raised these two skills by 3 levels!
What made Jiang Xiao the happiest was the Silver Quality Xia Family Saber Art!
Xia Family Saber Art: Silver Quality Lv.8!
The significance of this was self-evident!
You must know that the Xia Family Saber Art was completely raised by Jiang Xiao relying on skill points, not by his own training.
In the armory, in a life-or-death situation, Jiang Xiao threw skill points into the Xia Family Saber Art with tears in his eyes, in order to survive.
And in this month of training, the former Silver Quality Lv.6 had become the current Lv.8, which was completely trained by himself.
2 levels!
A full two small levels!
This was the best commendation for his hard training over the past month!
This not only meant that he had completely mastered the saber techniques given to him by the Inner Star Map, but also that he had integrated the techniques before Lv.6, caught up with the progress, and continued to move forward according to the guidance of the Inner Star Map.
Moreover, this kind of practical training result under the guidance of the Inner Star Map was better than Xia Yan's personal instruction!
If this kind of thing happened to the Star Power level, Jiang Xiao would probably be ecstatic.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao's Star Power level was still Nebula Stage Lv.0.
This meant that his physical strength was still not enough to support the Nebula Stage.
He was still not a true Nebula Stage Awakened. He only obtained the title of Nebula Stage by relying on skill points. It could be said that he was just having a reputation without substance.
Time passed quickly, even in the midst of hard training, Jiang Xiao still felt that time passed quickly.
The winter vacation was coming soon, and the final exam of the senior year was just around the corner.
Without a doubt, the Beijiang Provincial League was about to start soon. These hard days in the snowy field probably wouldn't last for a few more days.
......
In the distant horizon, there were auroras of strange colors flashing. Under the dim sky, the small figure held a giant blade in his hand, and the tip of the blade picked up a strong White Ghoul.
The stout White Ghoul was picked up into the sky with one slash. Jiang Xiao's eyes were not on it, but on the White Ghoul rushing towards him.
The huge wooden knife swept across, extremely fast, as if it could cut through the wind and snow. It not only slashed the White Ghoul rushing towards him, but even stirred up the surrounding snowflakes into a chaotic mess.
Chi!
The wooden giant blade was inserted into the snow by Jiang Xiao. His right hand swept from the side of his leg, then he suddenly bent down and turned around. The exquisite dagger in his hand radiated a cold light, and he directly backhanded it into the White Ghoul's neck.
The White Ghoul's sharp claws brushed past his back, close at hand, but a world away.
This scene seemed to be the greatest reward for Jiang Xiao's hard training these days.
Behind every flashy move,
There was indeed solid basic skills to support it.
Faced with the attack of three White Ghouls, Jiang Xiao's combat thinking was extremely clear and methodical.
Compared to the ignorant and flustered little Poisonous Milk before,
At this time, Jiang Xiao,
Was so calm,
His movements were smooth and neat.
The three White Ghouls didn't seem to pose any threat to this Poisonous Milk anymore.
In the distant vast snow forest, a huge figure quietly stood, wearing a dark black wide cloak, watching this scene from afar.
There seemed to be a hint of appreciation in her Danfeng eyes,
Under the bright starry sky,
A body like a ghost, a dagger shining with cold light.
It would be so wonderful to have a pot of shochu to go with it.
She thought secretly, suddenly swept from the side of her leg, and a dark half-toothed fighting blade was thrown out.
"Swoosh..." The dark fighting blade cut through the sky.
Jiang Xiao had just solved the White Ghoul that fell from the sky. He suddenly turned his head, only to see that the second White Ghoul that he had just slashed away had been pierced through the head and nailed to a big tree in the distance, with wind and snow.
Erwei said, "Military posture, look at it."
Hearing Erwei's words, Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then put the dagger back into the sheath on the side of his leg, and then inserted the wooden giant blade into the snow.
In this vast wind and snow, his body stood straight, motionless.
It had been a month,
Jiang Xiao wanted to cry,
I just didn't participate in military training, did God have to punish me like this?
Sure enough,
Escaping military training will be punished!
The suffering that you didn't experience back then will one day be doubled...
Erwei casually picked up a few branches, turned and walked towards the cave behind her, and put the branches in her hand on the roaring, crackling bonfire.
She knelt on the ground, tied up the low ponytail behind her head, and turned to look outside.
In a piece of wind and snow, the figure maintained a standard military posture, motionless.
In this harsh snowy environment, being asked to stand in a military posture was not only a training for the body, but also a training for the will.
His face was frozen blue, his fingers were stiff, and his eyes were tightly fixed on the corpse in the distance, just as she had requested.
Sometimes, she felt that she shouldn't have night vision, so she wouldn't be able to see his chapped skin so clearly.
In that case, she wouldn't be looking forward to the White Ghouls coming because of the bloody smell, so that Jiang Xiao could move his body and warm up as soon as possible.
She picked up the small pot of hot water that was boiling on the bonfire, poured it into the thermos, got up and came to the entrance of the cave, slowly sat down, moved her body, and made her vision better.
She sat against the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, tilted her head and looked at the small figure standing in the wind and snow, not knowing what she was thinking, a hint of a smile appeared on her cold face.
Looking at his serious and focused appearance,
Thinking about everything he had shown in the past month,
Erwei held the cup and took a shallow sip of hot water.
She knew,
In the future,
Having such a person in her team,
Having such a person standing behind her,
Her heart was at ease.
