Chapter 169 41st in the World

Prince Bino originally didn't know how to face his opponent behind him, didn't know how to face this defeat. Hearing the sound of vomiting behind him finally gave him an excuse.

Prince Bino turned around, his handsome face wet, and filled with disgust: "Okay, okay, you win, just don't throw up on me..."

Jiang Xiao: ???

At this moment, Jiang Xiao had snot and tears all over his face, and his whole body was also wet. His strength was being a loach in a mud pit, not a fish in a pond...

Speaking of which, what's going on with this Prince Bino?

How come his state before and after the match is completely different? Was that aloofness all an act?

The miniature microphone on his clothes had long since disappeared. Prince Bino wiped his face with one hand, appropriately blocking his lip movements: "Sure enough, I knew something was going to happen, you damn support, you definitely have a problem."

Jiang Xiao looked down at Prince Bino, about to say a few words of trash talk, but another wave of nausea surged in his stomach, so he quickly turned around and vomited again...

"Ough... blurgh..." Jiang Xiao squatted on the ground, hands on his knees. He never wanted to compete with this kind of person again. This was still on a green field. If it were really underwater combat, like a battlefield at sea, Jiang Xiao would probably only be able to run for his life.

Prince Bino got up, stepped forward, and gently patted Jiang Xiao's back: "Juliet didn't lose unjustly. Sigh, I'm going to be mocked by Sophia again when I get back."

In Jiang Xiao's past three matches, he had fought a bunch of captains, but Prince Bino only mentioned the name of Juliet, the captain of the Empire On Which the Sun Never Sets.

In reality, that was indeed the case. The captain of the Empire On Which the Sun Never Sets, including this Royal Undertaker of the Sea, could almost certainly win against any other opponent.

If it weren't for meeting Jiang Xiao, with the strength of this Royal Undertaker of the Sea, he might really have entered the top eight.

The Sea Burial King resolved the Tearful Rain crisis, resolved the Silence crisis, and even greatly weakened the Blessing crisis.

However, don't underestimate Jiang Xiao's few Star Techniques, as they were quite comprehensive.

Jiang Xiao changed his combat strategy, using the Gap of Time and Space as a foundation, supplemented by the Light of Reversal, frantically consuming the opponent's Star Power, relying on his powerful close combat skills, making it clear that he wanted to engage the opponent in a close-quarters battle, which forced Prince Bino to make a desperate move.

This was a battle, but also a game.

Originally, only the Huaxia people in the audience were cheering and shouting, but as Prince Bino patted Jiang Xiao's back, this magnanimous act seemed to reflect the proper demeanor of royalty.

This action made the entire audience applaud.

Prince Bino seemed to be the kind of person who would return a foot for every inch of respect given. Jiang Xiao's earlier knife stuck to the side of his face really gave him enough face. If it had been stabbed into his head, the scene would have been too beautiful, and the media would have gone wild tomorrow.

Of course, even if the giant blade was stuck to the side of Prince Bino's face, the media would still go wild, and Prince Bino's graceful behavior now could save a lot of his image.

While patting Jiang Xiao's back, Prince Bino whispered, "I'll invite you to the Western Horse Kingdom in a while. Get ready to fight Sophia."

Jiang Xiao: "Second... cough cough... cough cough... Highness?"

Prince Bino: "Yes, when she mocks me with her first sentence when I get back, I'll just say that I've already invited you to the Western Horse Kingdom and let her personally experience your fighting style."

Jiang Xiao felt much better, stood up straight, and suddenly said, "Can you go back to being aloof? I'm a little uncomfortable."

Prince Bino snorted dismissively and said, "Juliet said you were interesting, but I don't see it."

Jiang Xiao was immediately unhappy and said, "Why don't you try coughing and vomiting? Would you still be in the mood to be funny?"

Prince Bino showed a charming smile: "Water is my friend, I haven't tasted drowning."

"What a coincidence!" Jiang Xiao looked up at Bino's deep eyes and said, "Victory is my friend, I haven't tasted defeat."

Prince Bino: ???

"Doo! Doo!" After the referee communicated with the jury, he finally blew the whistle and announced a result that everyone saw, but the jury had to discuss it first, "Huaxia! Victory!"

Prince Bino put his arm around Jiang Xiao's shoulders, scaring Jiang Xiao. He whispered, "Wave and smile."

Jiang Xiao responded quietly, "You're so official."

Prince Bino took a step back, made a gesture of applauding Jiang Xiao, with a congratulatory smile on his face, and squeezed a sentence out of his teeth: "Shut up."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

"Wow! Little Pi!" Xia Yan heard the referee's voice, and her heart that had been hanging high was completely relieved. She thought Jiang Xiao was going to be penalized out of the game. She jumped down from the third row of the audience and ran towards the field, cheering!

Bang!

Xia Yan bumped her head into the defense barrier that the competition had turned on and sat down hard on her butt.

"Hiss..." Xia Yan rubbed her forehead with one hand, her head a little dazed, but she couldn't help but stretch out her long legs and kick the transparent defense barrier in front of her as revenge.

Fortunately, the audience was in an uproar, and not many people seemed to notice this scene.

On the field, Jiang Xiao said goodbye to Prince Bino and received another invitation to go to the Western Horse Kingdom. However, Jiang Xiao only said that he would leave his contact information after the game...

I haven't even figured out what's going on in the country yet, what am I going abroad for?

Of course, if His Highness the Prince took out a bunch of platinum Star Beads and treated him warmly, it wouldn't be impossible to take a trip to the Western Horse Kingdom.

Although I am a Night Watcher, going abroad requires layers of approval. But for the friendship between Huaxia and the Western Horse Kingdom, this matter can still be done...

Prince Bino suddenly whispered: "Be careful of the Northern Road, Lancy, Will, and Apennine. Those captains are all waiting to prove themselves."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao turned his head and whispered, "Prove what?"

Prince Bino said with a smile: "Prove that they are stronger than the Empire On Which the Sun Never Sets and the Western Horse Kingdom."

Jiang Xiao secretly clicked his tongue, oh my god~

Did I stir up the wrath of the public?

Did I poke the hornet's nest of the European magic gods...

Don't look at me being cowardly in my heart, but my mouth is tough.

Jiang Xiao grinned: "What about Xi Ya, Portuguese, and the Russian Federation? Why don't you all come together? I'm in a hurry to go back for summer vacation, have a good rest. I heard that the sophomore year's courses are especially tight."

Prince Bino only felt his chest surge with qi and blood. He couldn't continue the conversation at all. He managed his facial expressions very well, but he probably wouldn't be able to manage them anymore, so he quickly turned around and left.

On the way back, Prince Bino quietly looked up at the audience, but saw that the second princess's seat was already empty and gone.

"Hmph." Bino snorted coldly...

As the two left the field, the field staff finally retracted the transparent defense barrier.

Xia Yan, who was still sitting on the ground, kicking the defense barrier, suddenly realized that the defense barrier was gone, and Xia Yan stood up with a "thump."

She was like a joyful husky, stepping in every puddle, splashing water everywhere, running quickly to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was startled and quickly shouted loudly: "Don't lift me up, you're not allowed to lift me, you... you're not lifting me up."

After Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he was stunned himself...

Xia Yan didn't hear any of that. She brushed past Fang Xingyun, who was waiting in place to greet Jiang Xiao, and rushed forward, plunging into Jiang Xiao's arms.

Fang Xingyun's expression froze. Was she... intercepted?

Looking at "her own child" hugging another girl, Fang Xingyun suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.

Xia Yan kept patting Jiang Xiao's back, excitedly saying in his ear: "41! You're in the top 41 in the world! Can you believe it?"

Jiang Xiao grimaced, his back was being slapped with a "paji paji" sound, all water.

Seeing the staff coming up to set up the iron cage, Jiang Xiao quickly put his arm around Xia Yan's waist, lifted her up slightly, and quickly walked off the field, which also drew whistles from the audience.

Xia Yan finally realized something, but didn't struggle, just lowered her head, buried her face, and became much quieter.

In the waiting area, standing was Fang Xingyun, who looked gratified, and reporter Yang Yang, who had a face full of smiles.

Yang Yang was in a good mood. It seemed that Fang Xingyun didn't refuse the post-match interview this time.

However, this interview wasn't on the sidelines. At Jiang Xiao's request, the group walked through the players' tunnel and returned to the temporary locker room.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Xiao, who came out of the bathroom, was refreshed, had already changed his clothes, and was wiping his hair with a towel while accepting Yang Yang's interview.

"Congratulations on winning the match! Advancing to the top 41 in the world!" Yang Yang said with a beaming face, congratulating him.

"Thank you, thank you." Jiang Xiao thanked him repeatedly, with a humble face. After all... behind the camera, Fang Xingyun's stern and scrutinizing gaze had a very good reminder effect.

Yang Yang: "Is this result consistent with your pre-match expectations?"

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "My team leader Fang Xingyun and I made a lot of plans and adjustments for this match. This is the result we most wanted to see."

Yang Yang continued to ask: "This effect is really good, especially your performance of cutting tofu with a knife at the end, it's really too inspiring, even those professional Star Warrior actors haven't done it, at least I haven't seen such a scene in a movie."

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "He controls the water, as long as you disrupt him, the water cubes will naturally disperse."

Yang Yang exclaimed: "Your high-quality Qing Mang (Cyan Edge) is really too terrifying, it actually dragged Prince Bino into the water flow he created himself. I remember your last attack was first a running start, jumping high, but then using teleportation to get there, was this to attract the opponent?"

Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "Of course. He's not as strong as you think in controlling water. The running start was to get him hooked. If I teleported directly over, he wouldn't be so close to me. My Qing Mang (Cyan Edge) isn't as powerful as you think, of course the closer I am to him, the better the effect."

Jiang Xiao continued: "I stirred up the turbulence, and everything that happened in the water after that was no longer controlled by me. I just needed to sit back and enjoy the results. I'm just the one who set the rhythm, the water flows behind me are just following the trend, blindly following suit."

Yang Yang: ???

"Cough cough." Fang Xingyun suddenly coughed twice.

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao suddenly stepped forward, took two quick steps, came to the camera, tilted the lens, aimed it at Xia Yan, who was confused, and frantically changed the topic, "This person is called Xia Yan, my teammate, and also the person who led me to practice the Xia family's knife techniques."

Xia Yan was a little flustered and quickly waved at the camera.

Jiang Xiao retreated and said, "In the next two years, we will work harder, team up to participate in the competition, and reach a higher level. If we are fortunate enough to play for the country, you will see two Huaxia knives."

Far away in Huaxia, Jiangbin City, Beijiang Province, in an ordinary residence.

Xia Shan Hai sat on the sofa, looking at Jiang Xiao on the screen, and nodded with satisfaction.

It is pressure, but also motivation!

A Star Warrior of a great power should be like this!

Being with this kind of person can stimulate all your potential and grow almost barbarically!

As for whether she would be overwhelmed by the huge pressure? Xia Shan Hai thought about his daughter's personality and had only one sentence in his heart: Hehe, that doesn't exist.

It seems that this crazy Xia Yan, messing around with the Han family kid, is really a good choice.

If Xia Shan Hai knew that Jiang Xiao's previous knife was called "Crushing Mountains and Severing Seas," he would have turned off the TV long ago and bought a plane ticket to Japan...
