Chapter 643 Skyrocketing Strength?
Jiang Xiao hurriedly activated his Inner Vision Star Map and began to study it carefully.
Without a doubt, Jiang Xiao had very high expectations for the Black and White Candle Bear, and after Jiang Xiao thoroughly understood the situation, he found that the Black and White Candle Bear was even better than he had expected!
Jiang Xiao used to always say one thing: "If there aren't enough Star Slots, make up for it with skills!"
This sentence was also widely recognized because of Jiang Xiao's performance in the World Cup. The giant blade, dagger, bow and arrow, and hand-to-hand combat left people dumbfounded.
Just like a netizen's comment: "An attacking kaleidoscope!"
Since the previous sentence is: "If there aren't enough Star Slots, make up for it with skills."
Then the next sentence is: "If there aren't enough Star Techniques, make up for it with a Star Pet!"
When Jiang Xiao looked at the fourth section of his Inner Vision Star Map, he was almost blinded by the dazzling array of Star Techniques!
On the fourth section, there was still the adorable image of a Black and White Candle Flame, and the description below was also very clear:
Golden-Red Candle Flame Cub (Mutated · Black and White · Silver Rank Lv.0),
Has Star Techniques: ...
However, a diagonal line was drawn from the lower-left of the Black and White Candle Flame, with the arrowhead pointing to the lower-left, where an image of a Black and White Candle Bear appeared.
That Black and White Candle Bear almost melted Jiang Xiao with its cuteness.
Little bamboo bear, your head is on fire!
In the Inner Vision Star Map, a small bamboo bear was sitting blankly on the ground, holding a bamboo in its hand.
And on its head, it wore a Black and White Candle Flame hat, with white flames burning brightly. Even more interesting was that the Candle Flame hat was very considerate, leaving the little bamboo bear's ears out.
The Black and White Candle Flame was like a specially tailored hat, soft and smooth, with bright white flames.
"Primary Dependence Form: Black and White Candle Bear Cub (Platinum Rank Lv.1)

(See Chapter 602 for detailed introduction of Bamboo Bear Star Techniques, and Chapter 630 for detailed introduction of Black and White Candle Flame Star Techniques.)
"My God, this is too much happiness..." Jiang Xiao's head went blank, and he leaned back on the ground.
Han Jiangxue was startled, and then saw Jiang Xiao looking at the sky with a happy and silly smile.
Han Jiangxue curiously looked up at the sky, but could only see the tall bamboos, the sky was gray, and it seemed like it was about to rain again.
Jiang Xiao was really so happy that he was about to faint at this time. All the way he came, how much effort, how many bumps and bruises, did he get a total of 19 Star Techniques.
Looking at this Black and White Candle Bear again, a cub that had just been born not long ago, directly listed 11 Star Techniques...
Even if the Star Technique of that negative state is excluded, there are still 10 Star Techniques.
Double digits! What is this concept?
Under normal circumstances, a Nebula Stage Awakened only has 8 Star Techniques, right?
And in this world, there are quite a few "Awakened" who have been stuck at the peak of the Nebula, unable to break through the Galaxy no matter what, and unable to advance to "Star Warrior".
What Jiang Xiao was most interested in was that in the Black and White Candle Bear's Star Technique list, there was actually a special form-exclusive Star Technique?
Han Jiangxue walked over holding the Black and White Candle Bear and gently kicked the bottom of Jiang Xiao's shoe, saying, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xiao's eyes were blurred, he shook his head slightly, and immersed himself in his own world.
In the Inner Vision Star Map, the image of the Black and White Candle Flame had an arrow pointing to the lower-left, giving the image of the Black and White Candle Bear, while the arrow pointing to the lower-right was empty, obviously waiting to be filled.
"Get up." Han Jiangxue kicked the bottom of Jiang Xiao's shoe again, "Don't be a tease."
"Oh." Jiang Xiao sat up, looked at the Black and White Candle Bear with the Candle Flame hat on its head, and said to Han Jiangxue, "Put it down."
Han Jiangxue squatted down and put the small Candle Bear on the ground.
The Black and White Candle Bear sat up, still trying to look up, wanting to see what exactly was happening on top of its head, but... it was so sad, how could it not see it?
Jiang Xiao said, "Let's try it, use the Round Bamboo Star Technique."
The Black and White Candle Bear was stunned for a moment, tilted its head to look at Jiang Xiao, and blinked its black and shiny eyes.
Nothing happened...
Jiang Xiao: "..."
Aren't you kidding me?
You have a whole body of Star Techniques, and you don't know how to use them?
Is it that it doesn't know how to use them or that it's disobedient? Or is the child too young and doesn't understand what's being said?
That's not right, the Black and White Candle Flame is also in cub form, how come it's so obedient?
The cub stage, maturity stage, and other stages of Star Beasts are certainly not determined according to the Rank level, but according to time.
The Black and White Candle Flame appeared in the Mount Er'ye incident in April of this year, so even if it was born in March, it's already the end of October now, and it's only half a year old?
Jiang Xiao had a flash of inspiration and said, "Use the Cool Star Technique."
Then, Jiang Xiao added, "Gently, to a lower degree."
Sure enough, in the Dependence form, the Black and White Candle Flame still had its own consciousness. Although it was said to be fusion, this kind of fusion was more like partnering up and surviving together.
The Black and White Candle Bear's blank gaze suddenly changed, becoming a little clearer, as if it had awakened from confusion.
Did it use the Cool Star Technique?
Was the virus closed?
Did the clever IQ occupy the high ground again?
What a refreshing brain... Jiang Xiao always felt that if the lure couldn't get away from performing the task, then he should wear a Candle Flame hat to the exam when the end-of-term exam came.
Jiang Xiao continued, "Use the Round Bamboo Star Technique."
The small Black and White Candle Bear struggled to crawl forward two steps, this action seemed like a running start?
Then, the Black and White Candle Bear actually stood up!
Then... the little guy seemed to be too young and didn't have the ability to stand on two legs yet. Its body was unstable, it fell forward, and its round body rolled a full two laps on the grass, and sat down on the ground with its butt.
Then, and then, there was no then...
The Black and White Candle Bear seemed a little aggrieved, and turned its head towards Jiang Xiao: "Emm~ Emm~"
Jiang Xiao covered his face with one hand...
Brother! I asked you to use the Gold-tier Star Technique! What are you doing selling cuteness here?
Jiang Xiao said, "Sit tight! Use the Round Bamboo Star Technique!"
The Black and White Candle Bear sat on the ground, its two little bear paws hugged a large bamboo that suddenly appeared in its arms.
Well... actually it wasn't very big, but the Black and White Candle Bear was still very small after all, and the bamboo was almost the same size as the Black and White Candle Bear's body, with the same diameter, but the length was different, about a meter away, twice the length of the Black and White Candle Bear's body.
The little guy hugged the bamboo and slammed it heavily on the ground. In an instant, white flames splashed everywhere, grass clippings and mud flew around, and the ground was shaken with cracks.
The surrounding grass was also splashed by the Candle Flame, but it didn't burn, it wasn't destroyed by fire, but it was more like it was frozen?
The Black and White Candle Bear didn't suffer any damage, but the ground and around its body had already splashed with Candle Flames, and a cool breath spread around.
What is this... what principle?
Ice Flame? A special flame that can freeze enemies?
The Black and White Candle Bear's attack method was also amazing to Jiang Xiao. It didn't hold a stick and chop down or sweep like humans.
Since the virtual bamboo was very large in diameter, the little Candle Bear had a hard time holding it.
It hugged the giant bamboo, perpendicular to the ground, and when it smashed down, there was no angle of inclination, just like holding a wooden stake, directly up and down "piling"!
Han Jiangxue hurriedly ran over, bent down and picked up the Black and White Candle Bear, which was icy cold, and patted the mud off its body.
Jiang Xiao was quite satisfied with this effect. After all, it was still a cub, and although the Star Technique quality was there, it couldn't even stand still, so the Star Technique effect was of course greatly reduced.
He believed that when the Black and White Candle Bear grew up, it would be able to exert its due level.
Jiang Xiao continued, "Put it down, I'll try another Star Technique."
Han Jiangxue thought for a while and said, "Does it have enough Star Power?"
Jiang Xiao threw out a Reverse Flow of Light, but was stunned by the little guy's Star Power storage capacity.
This is really a racial talent!
Even if it was a Platinum Rank, this was a newborn cub, and its Star Power was actually more than Jiang Xiao's?
At least Jiang Xiao's Reverse Flow of Light was absorbing Star Power, not giving Star Power.
Is its Star Power reserve higher than the third stage of humans?
Where is so much Star Power stored in such a small body?
Jiang Xiao said, "Use Progenitor's Body!"
"Awoo!" The Black and White Candle Bear let out a childish roar, and its 50 cm body suddenly grew larger, reaching nearly 1 meter in length, much shorter than the official data.
But all of this was understandable.
Jiang Xiao struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Use Bear Clan Faith."
The Black and White Candle Bear slapped its bear paws on the ground, and a burst of Star Power surged, and three small bamboo bear babies suddenly appeared, only 50 cm in length, with no flames on their heads, just normal form little bamboo bears.
These little bamboo bears were more lively, after all, they didn't have the "Negative State" Star Technique, their round bodies crawled around, but their mobility was limited and their speed was not fast.
This Star Technique is temporarily useless, right? Later, when the Candle Bear grows up, will it summon adult bamboo bears?
Jiang Xiao thought to himself and continued, "Iron-Eating Myth!"
The Black and White Candle Bear looked up again, but this time it roared angrily: "Awoo!!!"
Jiang Xiao blinked, what happened? No response?
But he saw Han Jiangxue suddenly change color and take a step back subconsciously.
Jiang Xiao certainly knew how strong Han Jiangxue's mental fortitude was. She was a Star Warrior with a firm will, but under the influence of the special Star Technique, Han Jiangxue actually had a hint of fear.
Jingle bells~
The bell shuttled back and forth between Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao, and Han Jiangxue's emotions immediately stabilized.
Jiang Xiao said, "Because I'm its master, so I'm not affected by this roar technique?"
Han Jiangxue frowned slightly and said, "Maybe that's the case, the summoned Star Power bamboo bears weren't affected either."
Saying that, Han Jiangxue turned her head and looked around, "But his mother ran away."
"Eh?" Jiang Xiao turned his head and looked around, only to see a ground full of bamboo shoot skins, and even a few uneaten bamboo shoots on the ground, and not far away, an adult bamboo bear twisted its butt and quickly climbed into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Who said bamboo bears run slowly? That's obviously laziness...
Jiang Xiao: "..."
Han Jiangxue asked, "Just now that Round Bamboo Star Technique seemed to increase some of the Black and White Candle Flame's attributes."
Jiang Xiao nodded: "That's right, that Candle Flame is icy cold, and when they grow up in the future and the Star Technique quality goes up, they will definitely be our good helpers."
Han Jiangxue couldn't help but nod lightly when she heard this.
What's interesting is that when the Black and White Candle Bear is small, the Candle Flame hat is on its head, and when the Candle Bear uses the Progenitor's Body and becomes larger, the Candle Flame hat is still on its head.
The Black and White Candle Flame's body is really Q-elastic...
When these two little guys grow up, when the Candle Bear summons the real Progenitor's Body and the body becomes completely gigantic, he doesn't know if the Candle Flame hat can still cover the Candle Bear's huge head.
"Change back, rest, you've worked hard." Jiang Xiao said.
Bursts of Star Power dissipated and continued to transform, the Black and White Candle Bear's body slowly shrank and returned to its cub form, sitting on the ground in a daze.
The summoned Star Power bamboo bear babies also turned into stars and dissipated with the wind.
"Hmm." The Candle Flame hat on the little Candle Bear's head suddenly popped, and the Black and White Candle Flame jumped up, its two little feet stepping on the Candle Bear's head, bouncing and jumping, landed on the ground, looked at Jiang Xiao, and looked at Han Jiangxue again, and finally chose to pounce on Han Jiangxue.
Jiang Xiao was immediately dumbfounded...
It wasn't because of the Black and White Candle Flame's choice, but because it could move freely?
Jiang Xiao hurriedly activated the Inner Vision Star Map and found that the "Primary Dependence Form" was still there.
Jiang Xiao was relieved, so... Dependence is really just partnering up and surviving together?
The so-called fusion is just superficial fusion, not the fusion of the two Star Beasts' bodies and lives together.
Losing the Black and White Candle Flame's cool and eye-catching appearance, the little bamboo bear immediately lost its dream, lying on its back on the ground, maybe it was too tired?
Jiang Xiao walked over and gently rubbed its head. Unexpectedly, the little bamboo bear actually took the initiative to choose to enter Jiang Xiao's Star Map to recuperate.
The round body broke apart, turned into stars, and merged into Jiang Xiao's chest.
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned to look at the Black and White Candle Flame.
Han Jiangxue: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple wriggled, he stepped forward, hugged the Black and White Candle Flame, and gently patted its Q-elastic, icy-cold face.
The Black and White Candle Flame also turned into stars and merged into Jiang Xiao's chest.
In the ninth Star Slot, the two Star Pets merged into it.
Jiang Xiao: !!!
This... is it so magical!?
The Black and White Candle Flame still has a second Dependence Form!
If he finds another Platinum Rank Star Pet to run into in the future, and can also put it in the Star Map...
Is Jiang Xiao still worried about not having Star Power to use?
What kind of charging treasure is this?
The Star Power consumption for summoning the lure is huge? He can summon it casually in the future, right? Without even blinking an eye!
Jiang Xiao summoned the Black and White Candle Flame again and handed it to Han Jiangxue, saying, "I'm afraid I won't lack Star Power in the future."
Han Jiangxue nodded as a matter of course.
Jiang Xiao sighed softly and whispered, "So strong, Jiu Xing Du Nai! Getting more and more persistent..."
Han Jiangxue: ???
...
