Chapter 157 Running Around the Field

Most of the golden-red giant insects were about two meters long, with some queen insects growing to over five meters. However, these queen insects didn't provoke their own kind; their movement speed was slower than normal, and they only hunted golden-red candlelight.

Most of these queen insects were tasked with reproducing and usually had a "peaceful" end.

The golden-red giant insects hatched from her eggs would usually guard their mother, searching for prey for her until she died, at which point the giant insects would scatter and begin their own lives.

The golden-red giant insects and the golden-red candlelight together were powerful deities, able to wantonly ravage the adorable golden-red candlelight.

However, if the golden-red giant insects were placed in other dimensional spaces, they wouldn't even be considered "little brothers."

They were mostly Silver-rank creatures, with only two star techniques: Sharp Horns and Golden-Red Liquid.

Sharp Horns couldn't bully anyone except for poking the golden-red candlelight; only the corrosive golden-red liquid could barely be considered an offensive means.

And their movement speed and physical defense were really low. Not to mention other Silver-rank creatures, even the Bronze White Ghosts in the snowy plains could trample them to pieces.

Of course, while they could be trampled, the White Ghosts' feet wouldn't fare well either... these insects were full of golden-red liquid.

For example, right now...

"Be careful!" Yu Ni, holding the golden-red candlelight, raised one hand high, and a layer of frost suddenly appeared on the four-person team.

Jiuwei slashed the giant insect in front of him with a single strike, and the golden-red liquid exploded, splashing on his body, but was blocked by the layer of frost. The sound of the venom corroding the frost was unsettling.

What Jiuwei couldn't tolerate the most was that his steel giant blade was also being corroded. Although the degree of corrosion wasn't significant, Jiuwei didn't know how long this battle would last.

Nearby, Erwei slashed down with a single strike, directly cutting the two-meter-long giant insect in half. His body instantly turned into mist, dodging the exploding golden-red liquid.

The misty body reassembled, and Erwei ordered, "The whole team spread out, ignore these insects, report the location of the Sacred Ruins as soon as you find them. If you can, destroy them directly, and then come back to deal with the golden-red insects."

Erwei's thinking was clear, focusing on the main contradiction.

With the abilities of this four-person team, the speed at which they killed insects couldn't compare to the speed at which the insects were pouring out of the Sacred Ruins.

Their goal was to strike at the heart and destroy the Sacred Ruins!

At the same time,

Inside the stadium of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University.

"Xiao Pi! Xiao Pi!" A soft call came, and Han Jiangxue placed a hand on Jiang Xiao's shoulder, gently shaking him. "It's your turn."

The surrounding group of relatives and friends looked at the "sleeping" Jiang Xiao with suspicion, wondering what kind of mischief he was up to this time.

They had wanted to wake Jiang Xiao up earlier, but Xia Yan kept a close eye on him and wouldn't allow it until the competition was about to start.

Jiang Xiao opened his eyes, his expression not looking good. Listening to Han Jiangxue's words, he directly asked, "Which five students advanced? Never mind, just tell me if Fang Xiao advanced or not?"

Han Jiangxue replied, "Fang Xiao advanced. What's wrong? What happened?"

Looking at Han Jiangxue's worried expression, Jiang Xiao took the giant blade that Xia Yan handed him and said, "I'll tell you when we get back."

Jiang Xiao and his lure had their own brains, a dual-core processing system, capable of communicating information and also greatly shielding each other's senses.

Creatures in dimensional spaces like Mount E'ye shouldn't be able to put the lure Jiang Xiao in mortal danger.

But this time the situation was too strange, especially with Jiuwei currently searching everywhere in the mountains and forests, the battlefield chaotic, Jiang Xiao had to keep his mind on that side.

A Sacred Ruins opening up on Earth?

Was Mount E'ye trying to rebel!?

Jiang Xiao, with a solemn expression, picked up the knife and ran down quickly.

Amidst the cheers of the students in the stadium, Jiang Xiao shouted loudly, "Fang Xiao! Hurry up! I'm in a hurry!"

The atmosphere in the stadium instantly exploded. This kid really was going to bully people!

Master Pi,

You already stabbed him through once, and now you want to stab him again?

Among the advancing contestants, Zhao Wenlong and Xiao Jin, who had been full of anticipation, looked disappointed and shook their heads in a rather lonely manner.

"Wow! Little Poisonous Milk is playing dirty, I'm asking you, isn't your scalp tingling?"

"Hehe, Fang Xiao, what do you say?"

"Get up from where you fall! A real man, of course, has to kill his way back!"

"Kill your way back? I'm afraid it'll be difficult. You were instantly killed by him just now, right?"

The audience seats buzzed in all directions. Fang Xiao, who had been sitting in the audience seats, couldn't sit still any longer and stood up directly.

Listening to the discussions around him, Fang Xiao couldn't help but become exasperated and said, "Fight, then!"

Who would have thought that Jiang Xiao seemed even more exasperated than him, stomping his feet and repeating the same sentence, shouting loudly, "Come down quickly! Don't dawdle! I'm in a hurry!"

If the first sentence was a provocation, the second identical sentence couldn't help but make everyone think that Little Poisonous Milk was up to another trick.

Whether teachers or students, they all silently observed Jiang Xiao, thinking about Jiang Xiao's intentions.

Not to mention Xiao Jin, who had just learned a lesson, he perked up, pricked up his ears, and held the Sky Halberd tightly in one hand, looking like a student listening attentively.

But they were all wrong. Jiang Xiao... really was in a hurry.

And this time, on the outside of Fang Xiao's thighs, he was carrying two real triangular military daggers.

After walking onto the field, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xiao. Then, he bent his body, his legs tense, silent like a wooden figure.

Unlike when they met last time, this time, Fang Xiao didn't have any provocative behavior. It seemed like he had given up on the idea of teaching Jiang Xiao a lesson.

Seeing Fang Xiao's full alert, Jiang Xiao frowned secretly. This kid's mentality hadn't collapsed, and he still had the strength to fight!

So, trash talk was a must.

Jiang Xiao held the blade in one hand, pointing it at Fang Xiao from afar, and said, "Aren't you going to help your master teach me a lesson?"

Fang Xiao was furious, his expression extremely stiff, but he still didn't say anything.

Jiang Xiao continued, "Why don't you call him? You're not good enough, let him come in person!"

Fang Xiao kept his body tense, staring at Jiang Xiao, motionless, seemingly unaffected by Jiang Xiao's trash talk.

Li Liang spoke at this moment, "The match begins!"

Jiang Xiao raised his hand and cast Silence!

Fang Xiao's body suddenly tilted.

Hit!

The wide-range Silence undoubtedly hit Fang Xiao's body, but Fang Xiao's movement wasn't to dodge Silence; he was clearly dodging Blessing!

What's going on?

Whether it was Jiang Xiao or the students in the audience seats, they were all stunned.

Because after Fang Xiao's body tilted, he didn't rush forward, but slowly retreated?

What is the advantage of an Agility-type Star Warrior?

Of course, it's close combat! Relying on powerful combat skills, supplemented by combat star power techniques, to defeat the enemy.

But what was Fang Xiao doing? Spacing out at the start?

No, he wasn't spacing out; he clearly had a movement to dodge Blessing, but... what did he mean by this? He wasn't planning to engage in close combat?

You're an Agility-Combat Star Warrior, but you're not planning to engage in close combat against a support healer?

You're giving up your biggest advantage...

Uh... that seems right. Your close combat skills can't get any advantage in front of Little Poisonous Milk, and you were killed without leaving a trace.

So, what should you do? Does your Combat-type have any ranged offensive techniques?

Even if it does, Little Poisonous Milk's Silence can control you to death, preventing you from using any ranged offensive techniques at all?

The stadium gradually quieted down, and people watched this scene in amazement.

And a few seconds later, Jiang Xiao was stunned to find that Fang Xiao really didn't have any intention of attacking. He was just slowly retreating, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xiao, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Jiang Xiao frowned, counted to ten in his mind, and threw another Silence.

Fang Xiao's face flushed, and he coughed lightly, but he stood firm, still without any intention of attacking.

Holy crap!?

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but scratch his short hair and said, "Why don't you come and hit me?"

Everyone: "..."

It was the first time they had heard someone make such a request.

But, uh... Little Poisonous Milk was right, why don't you go and hit him!

Jiang Xiao, carrying the knife, walked towards Fang Xiao's position: "If you don't hit me, I'm going to hit you?"

Fang Xiao remained silent, slowly retreating towards the corner flag.

Oh? Still going to use that strategy? Pretty persistent?

Jiang Xiao thought, should I just take him away with a single cast of Sorrowful Tear?

Uh... this kind of situation doesn't require me to show my domineering star techniques? Maybe it's better to use them unexpectedly in the national team selection competition? After all, when Jiang Xiao provided his personal information, it was before he went to the Tear Rain Forest...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao carried the knife and charged over.

As the Silence time passed, a layer of stone armor instantly appeared on Fang Xiao's body, and he drew two stone daggers from a pair of stone arms.

Jiang Xiao raised his hand and waved!

Fang Xiao's body suddenly tilted. He was still dodging Blessing, not dodging Silence!

And the stone armor on Fang Xiao's body, as well as the stone daggers in his hands, instantly turned into starlight and dissipated.

What was he doing?

Coming up to get hit?

Jiang Xiao held the blade in both hands, the tip dragging along the ground, leaving trails of dirt as he rushed towards Fang Xiao in the corner.

There wasn't a rule that you lost as soon as you stepped onto the field, so what were you doing standing in the corner?

Trying to portray yourself as a victim? Making others think I'm using school violence on you?

Buddy, your imagination shouldn't be as big as mine, right?

As Jiang Xiao charged with the knife, Fang Xiao finally moved!

He... ran from the left corner to the right corner...

Jiang Xiao was really dumbfounded and raised his hand to cast Blessing.

Fang Xiao had been observing Jiang Xiao, and his body tilted suddenly. Finally! He dodged Blessing. Jiang Xiao didn't throw a wide-range Silence this time!

A stone block condensed in Fang Xiao's hand, instantly gathering into a military dagger, which he threw fiercely at Jiang Xiao.

Although the speed of this hidden weapon was very fast, at this distance...

Jiang Xiao easily dodged the stone dagger, even having time to raise his hand and cast Silence!

Fang Xiao's body was staggered by the hit, but he clenched his teeth and quickly resumed his rapid running state.

Jiang Xiao stopped. Was he kiting? Draining my star power?

In his fully concentrated state, he could dodge Blessing and, of course, Reverse Current Light.

Jiang Xiao's star power couldn't be replenished, but everyone present was a student and teacher of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University. Jiang Xiao could connect Reverse Current Light to them, but it would probably be considered a foul.

Jiang Xiao stopped here, and Fang Xiao stopped there too...

The two stared at each other, and no one moved for a long time. Although Fang Xiao wasn't in the Silence domain, he was really uncomfortable being hit by Silence, causing his star power to be chaotic, and he didn't even want to condense stone daggers anymore.

Jiang Xiao suddenly picked up the knife and charged forward again.

Fang Xiao also quickly started, running towards the opposite half of the field.

Jiang Xiao was almost amused and shouted loudly, "Are you shameless? Relying on your better physical fitness, you want to run me to death?"

Fang Xiao ran with his head down, looking like an autistic child...

Ignoring everyone, just running!

The audience seats were filled with骂声罵聲! The referees looked strange, and even a small number of spectators couldn't help but laugh.

Where's your face!?

Where's the dignity of a Star Warrior!?

A Galaxy peak Combat-type being chased around the field by a support!?

And so,

Under the gaze of the whole school's teachers and students,

A Nebula Little Poisonous Milk carrying a knife,

Madly chasing and slashing a Galaxy Combat-type,

Right here, in the stadium of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University, running around the field...
