Chapter 32 Ascended?

“Ascended?”

“He actually ascended just like that?” A group of students were dumbfounded. The upper-level entrance that they had been attacking for so long was cleared by this little Jiu Xing Du Nai?

Weren't the people above a group of great demons just now?

How did they become a bunch of weaklings all of a sudden?

Well... to be reasonable, you have to look for the reasons within yourself.

Look at Xia Yan. In front of others, she is the unparalleled Yan-shen (goddess Yan), but in front of the little Jiu Xing Du Nai, she's just a Xia Shiqi (husky Xia), and in front of Han Jiangxue, she's a timid Xia.

Uh...

The students reacted quickly and hurriedly climbed upwards. Finally, a great master had taken the lead in breaking through the defense line. This was an excellent opportunity to enter the rematch, and they had to seize it even if it cost them their lives!

In the upper level, Zhao Wenlong and Hou Mingming didn't stop after climbing up, especially Hou Mingming, who fired a series of arrows as if they were free.

Hou Mingming's violent attack was almost indiscriminate. When Jiang Xiao climbed up, three scarlet arrows were already suspended in the high altitude, showering down explosive arrow rain.

One round of arrow rain was already hard enough to bear, but three rounds stacked together? Even dragons and tigers would have to quiet down!

In fact, that was exactly the case. Since Hou Mingming came up, the situation at the entrance of the seventh floor had changed.

Other warriors fought back, and after rushing up, they joined forces with the demons, becoming new demons and suppressing the people on the sixth floor to prevent them from coming up.

But Hou Mingming and Zhao Wenlong were different. After they came up...

Demons?

I'm here to kill demons!

The situation on the seventh floor was much more complicated than the other floors. This was the real top of the ancient tower, and dozens of meters above, there was a huge portal, the so-called Holy Ruins.

The straw raincoats on the ghost-faced monks were adorned with different colored threads, which were quite interesting.

However, their strange laughter was particularly frightening. One or two laughs were fine, but the eerie laughter of this group of ghost faces was like a gathering of clowns, making people's hair stand on end.

Of course, because the area of each floor was very large, and the Holy Ruins was located in the very center of the top of the tower, the entrance where the participating students were located would not directly drop ghost-faced monks.

People could only see the "waterfall" of various colors pouring down from the distant central location.

In the midst of the bombing of the arrow rain and the faint strange laughter of the ghost faces, Zhao Wenlong's roar was particularly abrupt.

"Ah da ~ da ~ da ~" In the blazing fire, Zhao Wenlong and Xing Yan were simply fighting desperately!

They were truly two desperadoes, their heads hanging on their waistbands, afraid of no one!

Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Xiao carried Xin Ai'an and quickly climbed to the seventh floor, running away quickly.

"Whoa!" Jiang Xiao only felt like a bomber was working back and forth above his head, and the exploding fire, with its churning air waves, directly blasted him away.

The two rolled on the ground for several circles, but their ankles were entangled by branches.

Jiang Xiao was slightly taken aback and turned to look, only to see Xin Ai'an lying on the ground with green light flashing in her eyes. Her body was surrounded by glittering emerald green light, and countless branches spread out from under her, quickly wrapping the two of them.

Outside, the war was raging, but inside this fortress made of branches, Jiang Xiao was extremely safe.

Not only safe, but even physically and mentally comfortable. Even if there were constant explosions outside, the interior of this "tree fortress" had fresh, refreshing air that seemed to have a calming effect.

Jiang Xiao sat up cross-legged and looked at the girl who also sat up in front of him, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Xin Ai'an sat in the duck sitting posture unique to girls, turned her head to look at Jiang Xiao, but hurriedly lowered her head. Obviously, she was also not comfortable with being alone like this.

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head and sized up Xin Ai'an. She was petite and lovely, and had always been expressionless. Now, perhaps because of embarrassment, her face was slightly red and somewhat unnatural.

Jiang Xiao whispered, "This is a star technique from Qian Gui Province, right? It's so powerful. It can attack and defend, and every branch has perception. It's like a domain."

Xin Ai'an nodded silently, without speaking.

What kind of girl hadn't Jiang Xiao seen? Even someone like Han Jiangxue could be chatted with and joked with. How could the tree goddess be less amiable than the frost goddess?

Jiang Xiao touched the dense branches above his head with one hand: "Are you from Qian Gui?"

"Mm." Xin Ai'an hummed softly and nodded.

Rumble!

A huge explosion came from above the two of them, scaring them both.

Xin Ai'an hurriedly stretched out her small hand and supported the branches above. In an instant, the dense branches continued to grow, reinforcing the tree fortress.

Jiang Xiao followed her example and also stretched out his hands, holding the branches above his head.

Xin Ai'an couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jiang Xiao: "What are you doing?"

Her voice was so ethereal and beautiful.

Jiang Xiao grinned and said, "Trying to make myself useful."

Xin Ai'an blinked her eyes and said, "You fulfilled your promise. You are worthy of being an avant-garde soldier. You are very trustworthy."

Jiang Xiao shook his head repeatedly: "I'm just an apprentice, not official yet."

Xin Ai'an said softly, "You are a good person."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Just as Jiang Xiao was choked, the referee's voice came from the headset: "Countdown ten seconds, 9...8..."

The two were overjoyed. Were they finally going to enter the rematch?

This preliminary round was really full of twists and turns!

"3...2...1! Time's up! Everyone stop attacking! Stand by!" The referee's voice was extremely serious and shouted loudly.

Creak, creak...

The tightly intertwined branches slowly retracted, making a rubbing sound.

After a few seconds, a small crew-cut man sitting cross-legged and a quiet girl sitting in a duck sitting posture appeared in the students' field of vision.

Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned. The scene in front of him was too tragic.

Most of the students were covered in dust and panting.

And these were the good ones. More students were covered in wounds and blood, obviously holding on.

In such a comparison, Jiang Xiao and Xin Ai'an's leisurely appearance seemed rather glaring.

Hou Mingming's chest heaved violently, her military uniform was torn, her hair was messy, and she didn't know whose blood was stained on her face.

She glared at Jiang Xiao, Old Lady was fighting fiercely outside! But you hid in a tree fortress and dated a girl?

"Ah!!!" A female voice came, very sharp and angry.

Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw a familiar figure: Wu Xiaojing?

At this time, Wu Xiaojing was being blocked by the staff and constantly pulled back.

Wasn't this girl guarding Yu Jin in the lower level? How did she run here...

Then, Jiang Xiao saw Yu Jin's figure.

The young man had a messy head of hair and his clothes were very disheveled. He said, "What are you yelling about? You crazy woman, don't you want a spot? Are you going to guard until the end of time?"

Wu Xiaojing said in a cold voice: "You wait! Yu, you old dog! Don't let me meet you in the rematch!"

Yu Jin grinned, twirling the misty military blade in his hand and throwing it on the ground, turning into specks of starlight and disappearing into thin air.

Yu Jin's eyes looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "Jiang Xiaopi, did you give this woman the idea? Don't let me meet you in the rematch!"

Oh?

They had quite the couple's understanding?

The threatening words were exactly the same?

"Hey! Over there, challenging also requires queuing. I'm first." A rough voice came.

Everyone looked over and saw a bald-headed man with fist marks and footprints all over him - Xing Yan!

Yu Jin laughed and said, "You were tricked by him too?"

Xing Yan held a dark cyan giant axe in his hand, pointed it at Jiang Xiao from a distance, and said, "You let in a lot of people."

Jiang Xiao curled his lips and said, "Your defense is too poor. Passing you is like crossing the road in the early morning."

Xing Yan was furious when he heard this: "What did you say?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "Your movements are too slow. You can't defend against me at all. I even carried a pig."

Xin Ai'an: ???

After all, this was the seventh floor, and dozens of meters above was the Holy Ruins. Although the monsters pouring out of the Holy Ruins fell vertically and were far away from here, the security staff also sent out a signal.

The other staff members moved even faster, carrying away the fallen and injured contestants and quickly healing them.

The living students silently sized each other up. Xing Yan was right. Since Jiu Xing Du Nai arrived and broke through the blockade, many people had poured up from the lower level.

Including students like Yu Jin and Wu Xiaojing, who followed the wavy tree branch route of the tree goddess, those students who had been blocked at the entrance of the seventh floor for a long time and could not move forward at all were all fortunate to climb up to the seventh floor thanks to Jiang Xiao.

Counting carefully, there were actually 32 people!

If Hou Mingming hadn't bombarded wildly here and eliminated some contestants, the countdown might have stopped.

"Passed the first stage of the national team selection, reward skill points: 100."

Jiang Xiao was shocked!

One hundred skill points?

Wow, I'm rich!?

In the past, the provincial league would increase by 10, 20, or 30 skill points. This World Cup, in the national team selection stage, directly started at 100?

Jiang Xiao was almost crying. There hadn't been any skill points in his inner star chart for a long time. The hateful school selection didn't count, but this national team selection finally had a reward.

What did one hundred skill points mean?

It meant that all of Jiang Xiao's basic skills stuck at Silver quality Lv.9, archery proficiency, hand-to-hand combat, and dagger proficiency, could all be upgraded. And it would only cost 30 points in total.

What else could one hundred skill points do?

It could directly upgrade Xia Family Saber Technique to Gold quality!

Now Jiang Xiao's Xia Family Saber Technique was Gold quality Lv.8.

After reaching Lv.9, the next level would definitely be the Platinum threshold. Jiang Xiao could directly rush up with skill points to deal with the World Cup!

A virtuous circle?

The more you win, the more skill points you get, and the more you get, the more you can win?

And this was still the "first stage of the national team selection." If he passed the second stage, would the rewards be higher?

What about the World Cup matches?

How many skill points would there be in one match?

Probably starting at one hundred? Maybe even higher!

What level could he grow to after this World Cup trip?

Tsk tsk,

It's a little exciting to think about,

Why doesn't the World Cup happen once a month?
