Chapter 310 (Alliance Leader Bonus Chapter 3/10)

Since leveling up to the Nebula stage, Jiang Xiao estimated he could cast the Gold quality Qing Mang (Cyan Glow) 20 times. This delighted him; the total amount of star power had undergone a qualitative improvement, which was a good thing.

At this stage, which skill would yield the greatest return with 79 skill points?

His star techniques were already two Gold and two Silver. Each small level increase for a Silver quality star technique required 10 skill points, and Gold quality was out of the question, requiring 100 skill points for each small level.

Silver quality Blessing?

But there weren't enough skill points to upgrade it to Gold quality.

With the Gold quality Grasp, there was sustainability. Silver quality Blessing could cause a brief state of stiffness in enemies, which was enough.

If star power was keeping up, then...

It seemed that the greatest benefit for Jiang Xiao right now would be to improve his "Moves."

Among the basic skills were Unarmed Combat, Star Power Abundance, Dagger Proficiency, and Xia Family Blade Techniques.

Of these four basic skills, only Xia Family Blade Techniques seemed suitable for the current chase.

Why was Star Power Abundance only Bronze quality Lv.5?

After this qualitative improvement, shouldn't star power recover at a faster rate?

In this life-and-death situation, Jiang Xiao could no longer be a miser, and frantically added points to himself.

"Star Power Abundance, upgrade! Bronze quality Lv.6!"

"Star Power Abundance, upgrade! Bronze quality Lv.7!"

"Star Power Abundance, upgrade! Bronze quality Lv.8!"

"Star Power Abundance, upgrade! Bronze quality Lv.9!"

"Star Power Abundance, upgrade! Silver quality Lv.0!"

Skill points: 74.

"My God..." Jiang Xiao, spending money like water, ran while enjoying the recovery provided by the Silver quality Star Power Abundance.

Compared to the Bronze quality Star Power Abundance, the Silver quality Star Power Abundance truly provided a huge improvement in effect.

If this basic star technique, which had been forgotten in a corner, was upgraded to Gold, Platinum, or even Diamond quality, would it allow Jiang Xiao to use any star technique wantonly, without fearing insufficient star power?

Backhand, draw!

Jiang Xiao circled behind a tree, grabbed the trunk with his left hand, spun around, and swung the wooden giant blade horizontally at the several Ape Ghosts behind him.

Eh?

Two Ape Ghosts were extremely agile. One ducked down to kick at Jiang Xiao, while the other jumped up, half-embraced the tree trunk with a giant palm, and turned in a circle as well, easily dodging Jiang Xiao's attack.

The Ape Ghosts were saying, you want to play with trees? I'm your ancestor!

Jiang Xiao, hugging the tree and spinning, hurriedly released his left hand, his whole body horizontal in the air. His legs stepped on the tree trunk, he jumped hard, and his body shot out sideways.

Footwork, footwork...

Decoy, go!

As Jiang Xiao's body rolled on the ground to dissipate momentum, two Jiang Xiaos appeared, one of them carrying the giant blade and running away.

The pursuing Ape Ghosts hesitated, then split into two groups again, chasing after them.

Jiang Xiao suddenly stopped, turned around, and held the blade horizontally, ready to fight. Good, a relatively open ground, three Ape Ghosts – this was the ideal scene.

As long as the surrounding trees were far enough apart, everything would be fine!

"Hey!" Jiang Xiao shouted softly, the blade tip of the giant blade scattering a rich Qing Mang (Cyan Glow), and directly slashed out at the two fierce Ape Ghosts rushing towards him.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two Ape Ghosts rushing towards him flew backwards like cannonballs, with incredible speed.

Every time, they were so violent, trying to tear apart the Qing Mang (Cyan Glow)-covered wooden blade with their sharp claws, but every time, they were bounced away far away, like glass marbles.

Judging from the Ape Ghosts' identification of the decoy just now, they had a certain level of intelligence. Jiang Xiao's routine probably wouldn't last long.

The Ape Ghosts should soon realize that they shouldn't fight that wooden blade head-on.

The last of the three Ape Ghosts quickly caught up, seamlessly connecting with its companions' offensive, the onslaught like a continuous drizzle, making it impossible to breathe.

Jiang Xiao stood in a half-step stance, with the blade diagonally blocking in front of him. This was a god-given opportunity, not to be missed.

"Xia Family Blade Techniques, upgrade! Silver quality Lv.1!"

"Xia Family Blade Techniques, upgrade! Silver quality Lv.2!"

"Xia Family Blade Techniques, upgrade! Silver quality Lv.3!"

Skill points: 44.

Jiang Xiao, enduring the heartache, threw 30 skill points into Xia Family Blade Techniques. According to the universal four-stage skill level system, Jiang Xiao's Xia Family Blade Techniques should have broken through the early Silver stage at this time, stepping into the middle Silver stage.

Sure enough, small-level breakthroughs had an effect.

Jiang Xiao held the giant blade, his confidence stemming from the blade techniques filling his mind, from the terrifying muscle memory.

Jiang Xiao secretly resolved in his heart that this time when he went back, he would practice to death, and he must be able to wield a steel giant blade.

No fancy moves, no fancy moves, lift!

Just lift!

Jiang Xiao's feet bounced, stepping back, and the flying Ape Ghost exploded in front of Jiang Xiao's eyes like a bomb.

Wait,

Wait for a chance,

Lift upwards, not outwards.

Jiang Xiao was on full alert. The Ape Ghost had entered his giant blade's attack range, but he unexpectedly didn't make any offensive moves.

Here it comes!

Jiang Xiao suddenly jumped up, trying to dodge the Ape Ghost rushing straight at him, but the Ape Ghost's arms were too wide and thick. The strong, thick arms were about to crush Jiang Xiao's head.

Jiang Xiao held the blade in his right hand and touched the ground, using a clever leverage, his body forcibly shifted in mid-air, narrowly dodging the Ape Ghost's attack.

The group of Ape Ghosts behind him had already caught up, and Jiang Xiao didn't have much time left.

Damn it...

Another decoy rushed out, this time not towards the side, but directly carrying the blade towards the Ape Ghost that had landed on the ground.

"Roar!" The Ape Ghost's huge eyes flashed fiercely, looking at the prey in front of it, and slammed down with a vicious palm!

Bang!

The decoy Jiang Xiao shattered upon contact. Before the Ape Ghost could react, a beam of Blessing fell down.

Hey!

Monster!

Eat my mouthful of poison milk!

"Hiss~" The Ape Ghost comfortably went numb all over, its strong body trembling slightly, its huge eyes even slightly squinted, and a distant, deep throat sound came from its mouth.

However, before it could finish enjoying this wonderful feeling, a wooden blade directly stabbed into its heart.

Not an upward lift, but a direct stab.

Not a horizontal direct stab, but a top-down direct stab.

Since the upward lift plan didn't work, then change the combat method.

Jiang Xiao seized the opportunity, took big steps forward, and with a light bounce of his feet, stabbed the wooden blade into the Ape Ghost's heart from top to bottom.

Under the diffusion of Qing Mang (Cyan Glow), the Ape Ghost suddenly leaned back and flew away, directly smashing into the ground. Due to the angle, its body even slid backwards slightly.

Jiang Xiao's falling wooden blade carried an indomitable momentum. In addition to having a repelling effect, Qing Mang (Cyan Glow) also had a strong impact effect.

Even that wooden blade still deeply pierced into the Ape Ghost's steel bones.

Because the Ape Ghost's body slid back slightly, the blade tip didn't pierce the Ape Ghost's heart, but pierced into the Ape Ghost's waist and abdomen.

Success, candied haws!

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao directly raised the wooden giant blade forward, holding it diagonally and running forward.

Dark golden halos appeared again under Jiang Xiao's feet, and exquisite time scales appeared inside the halos.

The dark golden time scales surrounded, and the bright golden lines rotated clockwise.

Streams of vitality and star power were transferred from the giant blade to Jiang Xiao's body.

"Too comfortable!" Jiang Xiao, holding the "candied haws," fled for his life, followed by 7 or 8 Ape Ghosts, seemingly wanting to snatch Jiang Xiao's candied haws...

In the midst of desperate escape, in a place Jiang Xiao hadn't noticed, on the towering tree to the left of his path, an Ape Ghost clung to the trunk, quietly waiting for Jiang Xiao to run into its hunting range.

"Hiss... Roar!" A fierce roar exploded like thunder, followed by an extremely fast figure and a pair of iron fists slamming down heavily.

"What?" Jiang Xiao never expected that there would be an Ape Ghost hiding in the tree, lurking in the layers of leaves and branches.

In a critical moment, Jiang Xiao tilted his body and hurriedly dodged to the left, but felt a pain in his left waist and was slammed out by a pair of iron fists.

If it weren't for the Ape Ghost's shout, Jiang Xiao would probably have been smashed into mincemeat.

Even Jiang Xiao, who dodged as much as possible, was hit hard, his whole body bent into an arch sideways. The Gold quality star technique Endurance exerted a huge effect, preventing Jiang Xiao's body from being broken in half.

Jiang Xiao's body kept rolling in the air, and the Ape Ghost on the wooden blade also rotated, and the two of them finally crashed to the ground, dragging out long marks on the ground...

"Ugh..." A piercing pain traveled through his limbs and bones. Jiang Xiao endured the pain and frantically absorbed the vitality of the Ape Ghost on the wooden blade, and incidentally put a Bell Shield on himself.

Jingle jingle jingle...

The Bell Shield flickered on Jiang Xiao's body and jumped directly to the distance. It seemed that the Ape Ghost that Jiang Xiao had engraved with "Inheritance Seal" was still alive.

Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth and slowly knelt up. The left side of his waist and abdomen was unbearably painful. With the medical light jumping back, this pain was relieved a little.

"Heh... cough cough... ugh..." Jiang Xiao covered his waist with one hand, looking very much like a patron getting out of bed in the morning after spending the night in a small hotel.
