Chapter 170 Technical Stream

After the drawing of lots, that morning, Jiang Xiao, led by two analysts, sifted through a thick stack of materials to find everything about Saito Shinji.

Tomorrow's match is going to be interesting.

Western European Civil War: Germany vs. France.

Nordic Civil War: Iceland vs. Norway.

Asian Civil War: China vs. Japan.

Jiang Xiao opened the information sheet, and Saito Shinji's sharp eyes came into view again.

Jiang Xiao carefully studied his detailed information. After all, he had already thoroughly researched his star techniques and memorized them by heart. Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "So, he only left China at the age of 15?"

One of the analysts nodded and said, "Yes, due to family reasons, he went to Japan with his parents in the second semester of his third year of junior high school. Unexpectedly, he awakened his Star Map at the graduation ceremony afterwards."

Jiang Xiao thoughtfully nodded, "He grew up in Jiangcheng City, the capital of Hubei Province. If I start trash-talking him on the field, will he be speaking full-on Hubei dialect?"

Fang Xingyun had a strange expression and chided, "What kind of focus is that?"

Jiang Xiao grinned and said, "His star techniques, combat characteristics, and combat habits have already been analyzed pretty thoroughly. Let's analyze the person. What's his personality like?"

The analyst said, "Very cheerful, at least when he was in China. He could get along with his classmates.

He studied at the Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng University at the time. In his first and second years of junior high school, every March and April, he often sneaked into Jiangcheng University with his classmates to see the famous Sakura Avenue. There are still many photos of him and his classmates on his social media."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, "So... he transferred schools, couldn't see it anymore, so he simply learned a Sakura Domain star technique? To bloom flowers for himself to see?"

Fang Xingyun smiled and said, "There are also many cherry blossoms in Japan, it's just that that kind of star technique is very powerful."

The analyst finally brought the topic back, saying, "Judging from his star techniques, your Tearful Rain series may be ineffective against him. He is very fast, and his katana skills are extremely powerful..."

The corners of Jiang Xiao's mouth rose slightly, and that faint smile made Fang Xingyun feel a sense of reassurance.

Jiang Xiao said, "I like technical players. This kind of thing relies on real skills, compares talent, and tests hard work. If I get another Juliet or a Sea Burial King, then it will be really uncomfortable."

......

Since the competition venue was in Edo City, Jiang Xiao didn't have to travel. That night, at around nine o'clock, Jiang Xiao heard a knock on the door again.

Jiang Xiao thought it would be Hai Tianqing and Fang Xingyun, but he didn't expect that when he opened the door, it would be Sister Pea...

At this critical juncture, normally no one would disturb the contestants' rest. What did she want to say?

Jiang Xiao stepped aside, and Hou Mingming stepped in, walked to the sofa in the living room, and sat down with a thud.

Jiang Xiao straightened his short sleeves and big shorts, and after confirming that there were no problems, he asked, "What's the matter? Did you come to return my custard pie?"

Hou Mingming looked up at Jiang Xiao and said, "Don't underestimate him. His swordsmanship is stronger than you think."

Jiang Xiao nodded as a matter of course.

Back then, Jiang Xiao had asked Zhao Wenlong for information about George Star, but now, Hou Mingming came uninvited to share her experience.

Hou Mingming continued, "The Sakura Domain is both real and illusory. Each cherry blossom is transformed by star power, but his distribution of star power to the petals in the domain is not uniform. If you can feel the density of the star power in the petals, you can roughly understand his main activity area."

Jiang Xiao nodded silently.

Hou Mingming continued, "Be sure to protect your giant blade with star power. The flowers thrown from the blade are very explosive."

Jiang Xiao nodded again, standing by the coffee table, looking down at Hou Mingming, who was lost in thought. He suddenly found this guy a little cute.

Most of what she said had already been mentioned by the analysts, but she just wanted to tell Jiang Xiao the information she thought was most useful, hoping that Jiang Xiao could succeed and not repeat her mistakes.

Hou Mingming thought for a long time and continued, "Whenever he is about to move at extreme speed, the corner of his right eyebrow will involuntarily twitch upward."

"Mmm-hmm." Jiang Xiao listened quietly to her instructions. Behind these words, Jiang Xiao heard Hou Mingming's regret and self-blame.

It seemed that in these days, she had studied Saito Shinji as an opponent more than once. This kind of behavior was a good thing for Hou Mingming, being able to correctly view her defeat, she had really grown.

This may be the meaning of the Star Warrior World Cup.

The pride of the heavens will always recognize themselves and recognize reality here.

......

July 7, 2017, Sunny.

Edo City National Stadium, Japan.

Jiang Xiao and Saito Shinji were the second group to fight, scheduled for the second match of the day, starting at around 10 o'clock.

Although it was only eight o'clock in the morning, the stadium was already a sea of red and blue.

The people of the two countries almost didn't give the spectators of other countries a chance to watch the battle. The stadium, which could accommodate 50,000 people, was a fiery red on the west side and a deep blue on the east side.

From the center line as the dividing line, the two sides were so distinct, which was amazing to watch.

Only the viewing positions on both sides of the center line were mixed with people from various countries. It was more like a dividing line.

The Chinese people really stepped up. In the previous match in Kimchi Country, on TV, as Jiang Xiao raised the flag to summon, only a few scattered Chinese people appeared. That scene made everyone feel uncomfortable.

And this time, people tried every means to obtain precious on-site tickets, just so that their own cub would no longer be bullied.

Even if this is the opponent's home field, we will take down half the venue!

Outside was a clamor, Jiang Xiao sat in the players' locker room, looking up at the TV.

There were no more matches for players from other countries, and the results of the matches would not have a particularly big impact on Jiang Xiao's mind. And with enough time, Jiang Xiao was able to learn about his next round opponent in advance.

The first match started at eight o'clock, held in Qiyu City, Kimchi Country.

It was the national captain of the Kingdom of Norway, Ash, against the Queen of Iceland, Helen, who also came from Northern Europe.

Mage vs. Agile Warrior.

Norway's Ash was also the only mage left.

Jiang Xiao had been frowning at the TV for a long time. The two Nordic powerhouses were both violent. Helen walked step by step, and where she passed, a piece of ice flowers bloomed, the crystal clear ice flowers looked beautiful under the sunlight.

Beautiful things are very dangerous, Jiang Xiao knew that these blooming ice flowers could explode instantly, and you wouldn't think it was beautiful if hundreds of thousands of ice thorns shot into your body.

Norway's Ash held Thor's Hammer in one hand, really like imitating Thor, a burst of electric current permeated, shattering the ice flowers blooming all over the ground.

Ash had transformed the inside of the iron cage into his home field, and the sky was full of electric currents that quietly emerged from time to time, like winding little snakes.

And Agile Warrior Helen, wherever she passed, turned all the green grass into frost, and sometimes even able to hide her figure within the thin ice surface, it was miraculous!

The beginning of the match was quite satisfactory, and when Helen finally approached Ash after all the hard work, an ice mirror also stood up.

The tug-of-war between the two lasted for nearly 3 minutes, Helen tried everything to erect three ice mirrors.

And Norway's Ash certainly knew what the other party was up to, and was determined not to let her formation be completed.

These three minutes were almost three minutes of hell, and also the most bloody three minutes. The game between the two sides went from the physical to the mental, and the people watching were dumbfounded.

The match entered 17 minutes, Helen gritted her silver teeth, her golden hair was disheveled, and even a little burnt. She still erected three ice mirrors, this kind of behavior was almost equivalent to stepping on Ash's face, declaring a fact: you can die.

Soon, the figures in the three mirrors were heavy, quickly turned into six mirrors, and then turned into twelve... At 2 minutes before the countdown, an ice mirror cabin quietly appeared.

Helen, who was agile, fast, and elusive, even used practical actions to prohibit Ash's spellcasting actions!

After 17 or 8 minutes of the fierce battle, the Ice Queen, who finally succeeded, could finally taste the taste of victory...

But Ash was really violent, really fierce.

When he was killed by the rapidly shuttling figures in the ice mirror cabin, unable to escape and unable to resist, he did not choose to surrender, nor did he let such a war of attrition continue.

His body was flowing with blood, dazed,趴伏伏趴 on the grass covered with ice, his mouth desperately biting the frozen green grass, on his chest, the armor composed of lightning suddenly lit up with dazzling light!

At the same time, Queen Helen from the mirror descended with a backstab.

Rumble rumble......

"My God!" Jiang Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

The TV screen can be described as a mess.

Boom boom boom, completely blew up......

This level of explosion was completely inferior to that of George Star back then.

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, one more explosive than the other! One more tough than the other!

Now that everyone's strength is infinitely close, if you want to win, no one can hold back.

And the first match of this top six competition started with tragedy, conveying a message to the world: not every match will have a winner.

Star Warriors,

Are really competing with their lives.

Since the start of the World Cup, the number of deaths is not small, but this time, it undoubtedly touched Jiang Xiao the most.

What is the meaning of the Star Warrior World Cup?

From a personal point of view, obtaining a ranking and gaining honor will of course be conducive to personal development.

From the perspective of the country, there is no doubt that in each round of the competition, the players are showing the strength of their country's Star Warriors.

And did this Norwegian player really need to be so fierce? He had already done very well... Is it so difficult to admit defeat?

Even if he dies, he is unwilling to lose?

Ash was obviously different from the madman George.

So was he momentarily impulsive? Or was he defending something? Or was he conveying some message to the world?

Is it worth it?
