Chapter 443 Star of North River
What made the process difficult was the high temperature inside the volcanic other-dimensional space. Even with a dust mask on, Jiang Xiao seemed to be able to feel the heat wave rushing towards him.
Running at high speed here for a long time was definitely not something a person should endure.
What was even more annoying was that in the sky behind him, a Pegasus exuding bursts of cold mist followed Jiang Xiao not too closely, not too distantly. The big cat on its back was blowing “air conditioning,” so comfortable that it was already dozing off.
Fortunately, a lava ghost witch rescued Jiang Xiao.
It led a group of lava ghost minions, shouting as they launched a charge against Jiang Xiao.
The tiny Xiaoxiao flying in the sky behind him seemed to have received its master's order, no longer clearing the way for Jiang Xiao, but circling in the sky, watching Jiang Xiao slaughtering all around.
The long run had already restored Jiang Xiao's star power state to full. He had a bold idea in his mind.
Swish!
Another Jiang Xiao appeared abruptly!
Decoy!
But he was no longer the decoy of yesteryear. His function was no longer to disrupt the enemy's vision and divert their attention.
The decoy Jiang Xiao had independent combat capabilities!
The decoy Jiang Xiao was equipped exactly like Jiang Xiao himself, even the giant steel blade was conjured with lifelike detail. (Note: The toothbrush scene in Chapter 436 has been corrected.)
The decoy Jiang Xiao's clothes, including the weapon in his hand, were all conjured with star power, making them exactly the same as the real Jiang Xiao. However, these star power conjured blades would turn into specks of starlight and dissipate once they left the body.
That was okay, as long as they didn't leave his hand!
The decoy Jiang Xiao, wielding the giant blade conjured with star power, was as fierce as the real Jiang Xiao among a flock of sheep!
Jiang Xiao also stepped out of the Ring of Lingering Light. With the blessing of the Aurora, the scale of time lit up beneath the two "people's" feet, rotating rapidly, the dark gold color so mysterious.
Jiang Xiao shared his senses to the maximum for the first time, and also experienced the magical taste of shared vision and shared mind.
The two seemed to be sharing a consciousness, but each had their own brain processing information. No communication was needed, the tacit understanding was 100%, and the cooperation was seamless, making the slaughter a pleasure!
"Wow...am I too strong?" Jiang Xiao and the decoy Jiang Xiao interacted frantically!
You block this explosive flame, I'll go forward and stab it!
You prepare the blade, I'll use a point of Azure Glow to deliver it to your doorstep!
Even the big cat dozing off in the sky opened its eyes, watching the battlefield below with interest.
Jiang Xiao's giant blade flashed with Azure Glow, scraping against a charging lava ghost.
The lava ghost "whooshed" and flew backward, crashing into the decoy Jiang Xiao's back. The decoy Jiang Xiao, as if having eyes in the back of his head, turned around without hesitation and slashed down with his blade.
This process was extremely smooth and natural, making it pleasing to the eye.
What kind of teammate could be so tacit under circumstances of no communication?
I cooperate with myself!
Are you afraid!?
"Hmm." Er Wei nodded with satisfaction. She had great faith in Jiang Xiao's blade skills. Even now, she was willing to admit that, in terms of skill level alone, Jiang Xiao's cold weapon skills were much more exquisite than hers.
And Jiang Xiao repeatedly lost to Er Wei, without any suspense, completely because he suffered a loss in physical fitness.
His speed, strength, and reaction were all crushed by Er Wei. Even with a thousand skills, Er Wei could use one punch to overcome all.
As far as blade skills were concerned, he was already an experienced master. More than two months of painstaking practice had not been without results. The decoy concentrated on practicing the blade in the Nightmountain, with no distractions. At this time, Jiang Xiao's Xia family blade technique had reached Gold Quality Lv.5.
And in the stage of Lv.5 rising to Lv.6, Jiang Xiao seemed to have encountered a bottleneck again.
Jiang Xiao killed for a while, and the star power in his body was almost filled by the Ring of Lingering Light. At the same time, his originally tired and exhausted body was rejuvenated again, and his condition was extremely full.
When more than 20 lava ghosts were slaughtered and only 6 were left, they opened their ugly mouths, shouting "Wow wow," and fled in all directions.
Only one lava ghost witch was left, trying hard to throw the clock bell.
For the Bronze Quality White Ghosts and White Ghost Witches, Jiang Xiao was confident that he could forcibly upgrade them with his own star power, but as a Silver-level lava ghost witch, as a Nebula-stage Jiang Xiao, he didn't seem to be qualified yet.
Jiang Xiao used the Light of Reversal, trying it out, but the lava ghost witch just stopped its movements, looking at Jiang Xiao in surprise. Although it stopped throwing the clock bell for the time being, it didn't mean to upgrade and evolve.
Helpless, Jiang Xiao threw a Light of Reversal towards the sky, hanging it on the big cat that was quietly watching the show, and then connected another Light of Reversal to the lava ghost witch.
This time, the lava ghost witch was comfortable, roaring loudly, its whole body trembling. If Jiang Xiao didn't know that it was crossing a realm and enjoying the taste of having its body washed by a massive amount of star power...
Jiang Xiao might even think it was about to explode and die!
The lava ghost witch's huge roar lingered for a long time, the heart-wrenching sound echoing under this sky.
A dozen seconds later, Er Wei's voice suddenly came from the invisible headset: "Someone's coming!"
Jiang Xiao was startled and hurriedly activated the Ruins of Calamity Shadow, kicking the trembling lava ghost witch in. The decoy Jiang Xiao also rushed in.
The Ruins of Calamity Shadow closed quickly.
The Light of Reversal disappeared without a trace, and the star power in Jiang Xiao's body disappeared instantly, consuming nine-tenths of it!
But as long as the star power was not over-consumed, it would not cause any harm to Jiang Xiao's body.
Jiang Xiao carried the blade on his back and skillfully pulled out the dagger from the side of his leg, tearing through the dark red skin of the lava ghost, constantly drawing star power from it, and also taking away the star bead in the other party's head.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the work.
The Ring of Lingering Light and the Light of Reversal are essentially different. It is a pure plunder of the enemy's vitality and star power. Even if the other party is dead, the star power remaining in the body will provide Jiang Xiao with nutrition.
Jiang Xiao did not dare to throw the Light of Reversal at a dead body. Maybe he could get star power from it, but his vitality would also flow to the other party quickly.
"Oh my god!" A star warrior... no, they should be called awakened ones. The volcano does not belong to an advanced other-dimensional space. Star River-stage star warriors are not allowed to enter it to train. Only awakened ones below the Nebula stage can enter here.
A "Oh my god" with a dialect color attracted Jiang Xiao's attention. He turned his head and found a standard four-person team, three adults and one teenager.
The one who screamed was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She looked up at the white horse flying in the sky, watching the pouring ice mist, and even had stars in her eyes!
What kind of fairy pet is this?
It's simply the perfect match for training in the hot volcano!
"Mom, what is that?" The only child in the four-person team looked up at the dreamlike Pegasus. "It's not a creature from the volcano, is it?"
"Honey, what kind of pet is this? It's so beautiful!" The middle-aged woman hurriedly asked.
In front, the father also looked blank. Although he knew nothing about such a magical creature, he knew that the person on the Pegasus was a star warrior, and said, "Be polite. We can't afford to provoke such a strong person."
The woman said dissatisfied, "What are you talking about? Who would go around causing trouble for no reason? Go ask her what kind of star beast this is. Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go."
"Mu Yi."
The teenager looked at another middle-aged man and asked, "What's wrong, Third Uncle?"
The man pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said, "Look who that is?"
The teenager named Mu Yi finally moved his gaze away from the White Mountain Snow Feather, looked into the distance, and looked at the young man harvesting star beads on the battlefield.
"That's... that's... Jiang Xiaopi!?" Mu Yi widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Is that Jiang Xiaopi!?"
The couple also focused their attention on the young man on the battlefield in the distance, and they were all stunned.
Mu Yi ran over quickly.
"Xiao Yi!" The woman exclaimed, but it was no use stopping him. Her son had already run down the hillside, ignoring the magical Pegasus. He went straight to Jiang Xiao, his eyes fiery, like a crazy fan.
In the sky, Er Wei quietly watched all this without any expression.
And Jiang Xiao harvested the star beads, turned his head, and looked curiously at the little guy running over.
Speaking of little guy, he was also 175 cm tall, but his body looked very thin. It was estimated that all the nutrients he absorbed were used for his height.
"You, you... hello, Jiang Xiaopi!" Mu Yi ran to Jiang Xiao and actually took off his dust mask.
The dust masks here were specially made to ensure the vision of the trainees, so they were made transparent, so Jiang Xiao had already seen the other party's face clearly.
But once the mask was taken off, the overall feeling was different. Jiang Xiao was surprised to find that this child also had a round head.
Uh... buzz cut?
What made Jiang Xiao even more surprised was that this child actually pulled open the zipper of his clothes and unbuttoned his dust suit.
There was a short sleeve inside, with a "Viking Dog" head printed on the chest. However, due to the high temperature, his clothes inside were soaked.
"You are my idol!" Mu Yi said excitedly.
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "Put it on, put it on."
Mu Yi didn't listen and didn't pull up the zipper of the dust suit, but continued to take it off: "Look at my loose big shorts."
Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, don't take it off, don't take it off..."
Little buzz cut Mu Yi clenched his fists, his face flushed, not knowing whether it was hot or excited: "I also wanted to wear flip-flops in, but my mother wouldn't let me!"
Jiang Xiao: "......"
Behind him, several adult trainees followed, greeting Jiang Xiao and apologizing for their child's rash behavior.
Jiang Xiao had the feeling of being an "idol" for the first time. It seemed that as his reputation began to appear, he had a large group of small fans, and Jiang Xiao's dress and behavior seemed to be imitated by them.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiao felt a sense of responsibility.
This made Jiang Xiao very helpless and said, "You can like whoever you want, why do you like me?"
The implied meaning of this sentence is... I'm so mischievous, I'm not the type of high-quality idol.
Besides, I also wear flip-flops in college. When I was in high school, wasn't my school uniform and sneakers very decent? And when did you see me wearing flip-flops during training? Isn't this nonsense?
I spent most of the semester wearing pioneer uniforms and military boots running around the playground. Why don't you learn good things?
Mu Yi shouted excitedly: "I don't care, I just like you, I want to be like you, the Star of North River!"
Jiang Xiao: ???
Star of North River?
What kind of fairy title is this again?
Uh, that's okay, it's better than "Flower of North River". Recently, the transcoding is serious, which makes us more motivated and update faster. Please move your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thanks
