“What… what kind of Star Technique is this?” White, strange flames danced wildly around Jiang Xiao, burning his clothes and body.

What exactly was this Star Technique?

It certainly didn't originate from the Fiery Mountain Range of the Imperial Capital; otherwise, Jiang Xiao would have recognized it.

Jiang Xiao didn't have time to pat out the flames. He once again channeled Silence, intending to slam it onto the enemy's shield warrior and support, but suddenly realized that the star power within him was somewhat unstable?

It was fine when he wasn't using Star Techniques, but as soon as he tried to use one, the fiery snakes seemed to block his star power, preventing Jiang Xiao from releasing his next Silent Sound!

He had already inhaled halfway, and now he couldn't inhale further or exhale. Although he wasn't seriously injured, his rhythm was completely disrupted.

Jiang Xiao was shocked. Could this Star Technique disrupt the enemy's ability to use support-type Star Techniques?

He hurriedly patted at the flames on his body, but how could such "physical" methods easily extinguish this Star Technique?

As Jiang Xiao fell into trouble, Li Weiyi dutifully guarded him, fearing that the enemy's superstar, Ying Xi, would instantly kill Jiang Xiao.

Han Jiangxue possessed extremely high tactical awareness. Her battle strategy was almost identical to Jiang Xiao's. She didn't open her shield according to the previous tactic, but instead summoned the Deep Blue Scepter at the first opportunity.

The scepter appeared in her right hand, the gem at its tip闪烁ing, and lightning tore through the iron cage, slamming heavily onto Ying Xi. All the movements were completed in one go, pleasing to the eye!

Ying Xi was truly a tough guy, enduring such a heavy blow without uttering a sound.

Moreover, people were surprised to find that Ying Xi had similarities with the lightning-type mages from Hai Su Teacher's College Affiliated High School and Zhe Dong Tu Shan No. 1 High School, namely... a higher resistance to lightning-type Star Techniques!

Ying Xi's burly body trembled slightly, but without a doubt, he wasn't directly knocked out of the match by the lightning.

Even more unexpectedly, the enemy's agile warrior, Yin Mi, seemed to have anticipated being silenced and was mentally prepared. Enduring extreme discomfort, he actually used his shoulder to knock Ying Xi out of the Silence domain!

None of this was improvised; it was all pre-arranged before the match!

Up until this point, everything was unfolding according to the plan of the No. 32 High School.

Han Jiangxue's second Deep Blue Scepter attack missed because Yin Mi's impact was so strong that Ying Xi flew out too quickly?

Ying Xi, flying through the air at high speed, waved his hands repeatedly. To the left and right, at the feet of Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue, the earth was directly torn apart, and streams of magma splashed and flames erupted.

Han Jiangxue reacted extremely quickly, immediately raising the Flame Shield. The sounds of flames colliding with the Flame Shield rang out continuously, truly a close call!

Xia Yan, as the mobile force, had also rushed to the enemy's half of the field. Seeing Ying Xi being knocked towards the center, Xia Yan directly changed direction, dragging her giant blade straight towards Ying Xi.

Swish, swish, swish!

A series of stars fell from the sky, plummeting directly onto Ying Xi.

And Ying Xi's body, which was bleeding from the lightning strikes, was rapidly healing.

Swish!

Ying Xi also raised a Flame Shield around himself. Waving his right hand again, the strange flames that were gradually dissipating on Jiang Xiao's body reignited.

Rumble!

Rampant lightning struck down, this time hitting Ying Xi's Flame Shield.

And the successive stars pierced through the Flame Shield, merging into Ying Xi's body one by one, quickly healing him.

The No. 32 High School of the Imperial Capital had truly seized the initiative!

They had grasped the only weakness of Jiang Bin No. 1 High School: the lack of purification Star Techniques!

Not to mention these damage dealers, even Jiang Xiao himself didn't have a purification Star Technique. This seemed to be the only shortcoming of this team.

Jiang Xiao's star power was being disrupted by the strange white flames, but he had no way to resolve it.

Not only Jiang Xiao, because... Ying Xi also cast the strange flames on Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue's action of raising the Deep Blue Scepter faltered slightly. The originally thick lightning bolts became a flawed version, with only a few thin strands of electricity falling from the sky.

Exclamations rang out from the field. Although the agile warrior Yin Mi from the No. 32 High School had been knocked to the ground by Silence and had just crawled out of the Silent Sound, the other three were already back on track.

And the members of Jiang Bin No. 1 High School were in grave danger.

Jiang Xiao activated Resentment at the first opportunity.

The annoying thing was that Resentment was also forced to shut down due to the intermittent star power.

The star power wasn't severely disrupted, but it was always cut off at crucial moments.

It was as if he couldn't catch his breath again and again. This feeling was truly terrible.

To strike a snake, you must hit its seven inches (vital spot).

The fatal weakness of Jiang Bin No. 1 High School had finally been found, and the No. 32 High School of the Imperial Capital had thus gained a huge advantage.

The flames on Jiang Xiao's body looked like fire, but they were actually a Star Technique and difficult to extinguish by patting. Jiang Xiao removing his clothes didn't help; the fire was burning along Jiang Xiao's body.

Damn it, let's fight to the death!

Jiang Xiao frantically continued to activate Resentment, letting the flames burn him wildly.

Whoever backs down is a dog!

At the same time, Xia Yan was approaching the field.

Jiang Xiao was indignant. The pain brought him not only boldness but also anger. He threw out a Blessing!

It worked!?

The instant Blessing didn't require much star power and wasn't greatly interfered with by the strange flames. Jiang Xiao actually managed to cast it!?

And Jiang Xiao's heart also sank to the bottom.

The opponents had clearly thoroughly researched everyone in Jiang Bin No. 1 High School.

The moment Jiang Xiao raised his right hand, all of his opponents subconsciously jumped to the right, their movements so uniform!

Prediction!

Not to mention Ying Xi, even the other three Nebula-stage contestants from No. 32 High School would have difficulty dodging the instant Blessing, so they could only predict it based on Jiang Xiao's movements.

Jiang Xiao wasn't stupid. He didn't want to wave his hand to use Blessing, and he didn't want people to know what he was going to do, but this movement was the accompanying movement of Blessing and couldn't be replaced...

What did the four opponents jumping simultaneously prove?

They were saying: I don't care who you're going to bless, this is our conditioned reflex, you won't be able to bless anyone!

At the same time, Xia Yan was intercepted by the enemy's shield warrior, Gao Kun.

The tall Gao Kun, holding a blazing flame shield, blocked the headlong Xia Yan.

This flame shield wasn't a "eggshell"罩子 like Han Jiangxue's and Ying Xi's, but a regular shield shape.

The giant blade and the flame shield collided fiercely. Xia Yan's beautiful eyes were sharp, and her body suddenly burst into flames. After one strike, she actually ducked and lunged, reaching for the opponent's flame shield?

The next moment, Gao Kun's body suddenly jumped to the right, forcibly changing from a blocking action to an dodging action. This directly disrupted Gao Kun's defensive rhythm, forcing Xia Yan to retreat steadily.

But even so, Gao Kun was still multitasking. Once he saw Jiang Xiao make a lifting motion, no matter who Jiang Xiao was blessing, he would still abandon everything and jump to the side at the first opportunity.

A despairing scene appeared. The strange white flame lines also appeared on Xia Yan's body.

Clearly, an ordinary Purification could solve the problem, but due to the team's lack of star techniques, they were in such a passive situation.

Strictly speaking, the blame should be on the support, Jiang Xiao.

Li Weiyi and Han Jiangxue could both have this star technique, but Li Weiyi absorbed Perception in his last star slot, making great contributions to everyone in the preliminary competition in the Ancient Emperor's Mausoleum.

And Han Jiangxue... was full of explosive damage star techniques, summoning star techniques, and defensive star techniques, but had no support star techniques.

From the moment the battle began, Ying Xi had never been idle. His star power seemed to be inexhaustible as he frantically threw "Volcanic Eruptions" at Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao. At this time, the ground around their feet was already full of torn earth, and they could be fatally attacked at any time.

The permed boy, Li Yuan, had not done anything else from beginning to end. He dutifully did what a doctor should do, and a series of stars continuously fell from the sky.

After healing Ying Xi's body, he began to switch star techniques to restore Ying Xi's star power!

Jiang Xiao, protected by Li Weiyi, kept retreating. His heart hardened, and he waved his hand suddenly.

The four opponents moved one step to the right in unison!

"Ah~ Ah!" A low groan suddenly sounded. The shield warrior Gao Kun actually stepped into the Holy Light!?

No one expected that Jiang Xiao could still calmly analyze, respond calmly, and make such an amazing operation in such a short period of time and in such a crisis!

The No. 32 High School was predicting, and Jiang Xiao was also predicting!

He directly cast a Blessing to the right of Gao Kun, and Gao Kun, seeing Jiang Xiao raise his hand, reflexively moved to the right, just catching the pillar of Blessing!

Tear!

A burning wooden giant blade pierced through Gao Kun's chest the moment his body stiffened and he groaned!

Ruthless! Decisive!

The giant blade was so large and wide that it pierced through Gao Kun's upper body vertically.

"Doo! Doo doo! Doo!" The referee's whistle was very short, very sharp, and very rapid. "Gao Kun is unable to fight!"

Xia Yan stepped on Gao Kun's body and pulled out the giant blade.

The next moment, Gao Kun's body was dragged away!

Dragged away out of thin air?

Were there staff members invisible on the field? Not only that, several white rays of light from outside the field focused on Gao Kun, accompanying him all the way out of the field, doing their best to protect the contestant's life.

And Xia Yan's face was covered in splattered blood, her clothes were torn, and her skin was full of ugly burn marks.

She was also being interfered with by Ying Xi's strange flames, and the star power covering her body was intermittent, sometimes unable to protect her delicate skin.

But Xia Yan didn't care. She just endured everything she thought she should bear. Her chestnut-colored curly hair was burnt and scorched, and it would quickly protect her hair once star power covered it.

Once the star power was suddenly cut off, not to mention her hair, even her heroic face had been burned almost beyond recognition at this time, ugly and unsightly.

Only those eyes were bright, firm, and full of a desire for victory.

She carried the burning giant blade, flames burning on her body, whether from the enemy or herself, and strode straight towards Ying Xi!

My name is Xia Yan,

I deserve to have a name!
