Chapter 1 There's a Group of Big White Ghosts

On the other side of the mountains, on the other side of the sea, there lived a group of big white ghosts.

They were fat, sturdy, and beautiful,

They were so happy, they couldn't find north,

They were very pitiful, actually running into the great demon king Er Wei,

They were beaten to a pulp, wishing their parents had given them two more legs...

"Whoosh!"

The burning bamboo arrow pierced the skull of the last living white ghost. Er Wei slowly lowered her bow, rather satisfied with her archery skills.

"Bronze Thousand Kill, skill point +1."

Tsk, tsk...

What a sin! What a sin!

Unknowingly, had a thousand lives been lost at my hands?

Although Er Wei was the only one slaughtering the white ghosts, Jiang Xiao also received a message in his Inner Star Map because they were in a team.

Not only the bronze-level white ghosts, but Jiang Xiao's Inner Star Map also received "Platinum First Kill" and "Platinum Ten Kill" rewards while carrying out missions in the Bai Mountain Range.

Right now, he had 116 skill points.

Jiang Xiao stood behind Er Wei, clicking his tongue in wonder, "Wow, you're the legendary Snowfield Overlord, right?"

Er Wei: "..."

What a stupid nickname. It feels like a 90s Nintendo game.

However, Er Wei was happy to hear Jiang Xiao speak like this, at least it showed that he was gradually returning to normal.

Jiang Xiao quickly rushed up, two black tails darting out of his body.

One connected to Er Wei behind him, and the other connected to the White Ghost Witch, who was roaring angrily in the distance.

A gentleman helps others achieve their dreams!

You, White Ghost Witch, formed a team in the snowfield, challenged other teams everywhere, and sought out the strong, all to climb to the peak of strength, right?

Today, I, your teacher, will send you on your way!

Jiang Xiao's giant blade intertwined with the White Ghost Witch's sharp claws, but the battle wasn't very intense. Waves of star power poured into the White Ghost Witch, who clearly didn't have much fighting spirit left.

It sang with passion and fervor... its life also ending at its peak.

"A gentleman helps others achieve their dreams," Jiang Xiao muttered softly, chopping off the head of the wailing White Ghost Witch with a single blow.

I helped you, and you have to help me in return.

Reciprocity is what makes good friends.

Jiang Xiao tore the White Ghost Witch's head apart with his dagger and took out the blood-stained star bead, feeling extremely excited.

"You think you've reached the breaking point," Er Wei slowly walked over, looking at Jiang Xiao, who was kneeling in the snow, slightly excited, and couldn't help but ask.

"Uh... it feels like it, I've always felt like I'm just a little bit away," Jiang Xiao stroked his buzz cut with his other hand, "This time it's gonna work, I'm strong this time!"

Er Wei's mouth curved into a slight smile.

She still preferred Jiang Xiao in this style.

"No one around, right?" Jiang Xiao suddenly asked quietly.

Er Wei: "No."

Jiang Xiao slowly stood up, holding the giant blade and planting it diagonally in the snow, and gripping the silver-quality White Ghost Witch star bead in his other hand.

He sighed deeply, "The Holy Light will not betray me!"

As soon as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, a thick beam of holy light suddenly descended!

"Oh my god!" Jiang Xiao was startled, almost sending himself away.

Er Wei took a step back almost at the same time. In front of her was a thick pillar of light, at least 5 meters in diameter, and this pillar of light was not fleeting, but constant.

The sky in this snowfield was already dim. No matter how dazzling the constellations in the sky were, they were just stars.

But this beam of light was amazing, absolutely divine!

How divine?

It almost blinded Jiang Xiao's dog eyes...

You know, people who live in dark environments for a long time, if they suddenly encounter something particularly bright, few people can open their eyes. Even if they can open their eyes, they probably won't see anything.

Jiang Xiao felt like he was driving at night on a dark highway, and suddenly a high-beam dog came from the opposite direction... (远光狗 is a slang term for a driver who uses high beams improperly)

"Stop, it will attract others," Er Wei shielded her face with one hand, squinting her narrow eyes, looking through her slender fingers, trying to see the violent star power scurrying wildly within the holy light.

This huge beam of light was like the Rainbow Bridge in mythology, except that the Rainbow Bridge was colorful, while Jiang Xiao's Holy Light was just white.

In that pale white, there was even more divine energy, close to milky white, scurrying wildly, pouring down like a waterfall, and then spreading out in all directions. The entire ground seemed to be covered with a layer of holy, beautiful fluorescence...

Jiang Xiao wanted to stop too, but his strength didn't allow it...

Originally, his Blessing Light Pillar was fleeting, so why was it lasting so long now?

How could he play like this?

Originally, the Holy Light could only cover three people tightly huddled together at most. Now, that 5-meter-diameter pillar of holy light could heal a bunch of people at the same time...

Holy Light... had finally betrayed Jiang Xiao!

Although the thick beam of light did not directly fall on Jiang Xiao, the restless energy pouring onto the ground, layer after layer of fluorescence, spread out like mercury; like a shimmering lake, sparkling and colorful, soaked into Jiang Xiao's feet.

Yes, the pouring, flowing Holy Light spread out, touching Jiang Xiao's feet, and in return, Jiang Xiao made a strange sound in his throat.

Er Wei seemed to realize something. She didn't try to persuade Jiang Xiao any further, but retreated... uh, retreated again and again.

The huge pillar of holy light lasted for a full five seconds before it finally disappeared. Jiang Xiao collapsed in the snow, or rather, was soaking in the "fluorescent lake," his eyes glazed over, his face full of intoxication...

That night,

He lay in the vast Milky Way in the sky, seeing the stars shattered all over the ground.

......

"Wake up." A hoarse voice, accompanied by the biting cold wind, awakened Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao suddenly sat up, patted the snow off his head, and felt a chill on the back of his head...

Er Wei casually patted his clothes, brushed away the snow from his neck, and said, "Can you hear me?"

"Uh, yeah." Jiang Xiao shivered. Er Wei's technique was very spiritual. Instead of brushing the snow off, quite a bit of it got into Jiang Xiao's clothes. Jiang Xiao couldn't feel the back of his head anymore because his back was now ice-cold...

"Then stand up." Er Wei seemed to be a little impatient, or maybe she felt the ground was cold, so she simply grabbed the back of Jiang Xiao's collar and lifted him up to his feet.

This time, the snow on his collar had even more places to go.

Jiang Xiao was about to cry. What kind of service was this?

Jiang Xiao was shivering from the cold, and his lips trembled as he asked, "I... I fainted... for a few... seconds?"

Er Wei replied calmly, "7."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Only seven seconds?"

Er Wei: "Are you questioning me?"

"But how..." Jiang Xiao looked incredulous, and murmured to himself softly, "How does it feel like I slept for a long, long time?"

Er Wei said, "This blessing is very powerful. You were only affected by the scattered fluorescence. I don't know what the effect would be if you were directly enveloped by the beam of light."

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the corpse of the white ghost that had been nailed to the tree by an arrow, already dead. "Try it?"

Er Wei realized what Jiang Xiao wanted to do and stopped him. "Someone should be coming towards us. Don't experiment yet."

Jiang Xiao was shocked, and only then did he suppress his thoughts.

Er Wei said regretfully, "It has a very good control effect, but it will be difficult for you to use it in life. Save it for when you go on missions with me."

Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Er Wei glanced at Jiang Xiao coldly, "You want to expose the platinum-quality blessing."

Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "Can anyone associate this star technique with Blessing? It's already changed so much. Would anyone believe it if I said it was some other new star technique?"

Er Wei raised her eyebrows. What Jiang Xiao said was not without reason.

Jiang Xiao: "What's more..."

"Shhh." Er Wei suddenly said.

Jiang Xiao also stopped talking at the right time.

A dozen seconds later, Er Wei finally took action.

"Light Chaser, executing a mission." Er Wei said, took out her certificate from her pocket, and threw it into the distance.

This was not a wise move. Taking law enforcement officers as an example, under normal circumstances, if someone requests to see relevant documents, law enforcement officers can show the documents, but it is best not to hand the documents to those who want to view them.

Er Wei did this partly because she trusted the Night Watchers, and partly because she wanted them to leave quickly. In addition, it was so dark, and it would take time to get closer and look.

Er Wei's special military officer certificate was quickly thrown back. The Night Watchers left without saying a word.

Er Wei also turned her head to look at Jiang Xiao and asked, "What's more?"

Jiang Xiao smiled sweetly and said, "The higher its quality, the more functions it has. I seem to be able to control its range and power."

Er Wei nodded thoughtfully, "Like when I use Frost Wind."

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I know those little tricks."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao's hand lit up with a faint white light. Back in high school, he had been helping Su Rou rub her stomach like this. This was not a high-level operation.

"I mean, adjusting the gears," Jiang Xiao explained, casually waving his hand, and a bronze-quality Blessing Light Pillar actually appeared. "There are already signs of this. This should be its advanced direction. Once it reaches diamond quality, I should be able to completely and accurately control the range, effect, and duration of the Blessing."

Er Wei's heart stirred. For some reason, seeing Jiang Xiao obtain all of this, she felt a faint joy in her heart.

Personally training a uniquely talented apprentice,

Personally cultivating a comrade who will live and die with you,

Personally creating a god-like, terrifying Star Warrior,

This feeling...

Er Wei lowered her head and silently looked at Jiang Xiao. "Want it?"

Jiang Xiao looked up at Er Wei, a little puzzled. "Huh? Want what?"

Er Wei: "A diamond-quality Blessing."

Jiang Xiao's eyes were filled with desire. He looked at Er Wei with a burning gaze and nodded heavily.
