Chapter 202 "Oh~ Gone~ No play~"

In the Ruins of Calamity Shadow, a crow, pitch-black and with only one eye, was chirping happily.

Although the crow imagined it was saying the sentence from earlier, in reality, the sound it uttered was "Caw~ Caw~ Caw~"...

The spacious Ruins of Calamity Shadow allowed the crow to run wild. Then, the one-eyed crow caught up with two Swaying Bells floating high in the sky, and its sharp beak pecked at the small bell on the head of one of the Swaying Bells.

The two Swaying Bells were being fostered here by Han Jiangxue. These two little guys had been playing in the air, more than 8 meters above ground, and had witnessed everything that happened below, but were not interested.

This time, no matter how high they flew, they couldn't escape Jiang Xiao's clutches!

"Ee~~" The two Swaying Bells were playing happily when one of them was suddenly snatched away. The snatched little guy couldn't help but widen its black, beady eyes, and a panicked cry came from its small mouth.

Its companion hurriedly floated over, but how could its speed compare to that of the black crow?

The one-eyed crow, carrying the Swaying Bell in its beak, performed various high-difficulty stunts in the air, with a difficulty coefficient as high as 3.9, a tuck somersault backflip with two and a half rotations and a little over a month...

The Swaying Bell was spinning so much that its eyes were almost in a "vortex" shape. Dizzy, it couldn't float up, and the one-eyed crow finally let go of it.

In fact, the crow was also extremely dizzy. It flapped its wings and landed, and with a burst of transformation, turned into a human, landing firmly on the ground.

The decoy Jiang Xiao covered his head with his hands and sat down on the ground, enduring the feeling of dizziness. He also felt the magic of this world.

I can actually fly?

Can you believe it?

This was an interesting phenomenon. Jiang Xiao could even teleport, but the feeling of flying moved him even more.

Outside the Ruins of Calamity Shadow, the vehicle slowly drove into Jiangbin City. Er Wei, sensing Jiang Xiao's changing expressions, asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Xiao smacked his lips in admiration and said, "There are really too many magical Star Techniques in this world. I just turned into a Shadow Crow and flew around the Ruins of Calamity Shadow twice."

Er Wei: "How did it feel?"

Jiang Xiao still marveled: "A very magical feeling. Now I know what it feels like for birds to fly. Hey, right, I have an idea."

Er Wei: "What?"

Jiang Xiao said, "As long as my Decoy Star Technique is full, I'll summon another decoy and reset the Star Chart. That way, I can experience all the Star Techniques in the world!"

Er Wei: "..."

Jiang Xiao's thinking had completely changed.

Money? Star Beads? These are all external things! No matter how rich or powerful you are, can you buy this kind of experience?

......

On August 25th, Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan returned with a full bag of Star Beast Star Beads.

When the two returned, the decoy Jiang Xiao and Er Wei were passionately sparring in the Ruins of Calamity Shadow.

There was no doubt that, with the "Swift" and "Perception" Star Techniques, the decoy Jiang Xiao reacted faster, moved more swiftly and flexibly, and had a more acute combat sense.

Even though the Ruins of Calamity Shadow were somewhat dark, this was not a problem for the decoy Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao was supervising from the side. Although Er Wei was holding back, Jiang Xiao had already rescued the decoy Jiang Xiao several times. Fortunately, the decoy Jiang Xiao did not dissipate immediately after death, but remained for a very long time.

Moreover, the decoy Jiang Xiao was truly a "person." With Er Wei's deliberate restraint, he did not die on the spot. Every time he was injured, Jiang Xiao would promptly heal "himself."

Er Wei was clearly a person who couldn't stop. After finishing their sparring, she began to ask Jiang Xiao for advice on swordsmanship skills.

Jiang Xiao left the decoy and Er Wei to train with the giant blade together, and returned home himself, just in time to see Han Jiangxue watching TV in the living room.

The TV was playing an entertainment program, but Han Jiangxue's mind was clearly not here. Her eyes were empty, and she was obviously lost in thought.

"You're back?" Jiang Xiao said, surprised.

"Huh?" Han Jiangxue was also stunned for a moment. She thought Jiang Xiao had not returned yet. After all, the level 3 Starry Sky was more dangerous, and the Ghost Tiger was a gold-level creature. Its Star Bead was of gold quality, making it more difficult to absorb Star Techniques.

But she didn't expect Jiang Xiao and Er Wei to return first.

Before Jiang Xiao could speak, Han Jiangxue hurriedly asked with concern, "How was your absorption of Star Techniques?"

Jiang Xiao said with a smile, "Perfect. Everything is going according to our imagination. Now the decoy has a total of 7 Star Techniques: Bronze Qing Mang, Bronze Endurance, Silver Swift, Silver Perception, Silver Burst Arrow, Silver Illusion Crow, and Gold Shadow Crow."

Han Jiangxue's eyes lit up, and she said, "Only two more Starfall Star Techniques left?"

Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly: "Yes. When I go to the upper dimension, I will replace the Bronze Qing Mang and Bronze Endurance with gold ones. This decoy will be considered graduated. I can go anywhere!"

A hint of a smile appeared on Han Jiangxue's icy face, and she said, "Good."

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue got up and walked towards the bedroom: "Xia Yan and I killed some Star Beasts and got Star Beads... By the way, what's your probability of absorbing silver and gold Star Techniques?"

Jiang Xiao's expression was embarrassed: "Don't ask. Just know that the result is perfect."

"Hehe." Han Jiangxue chuckled and didn't ask further. She took a backpack, walked back to the living room from the bedroom, and put it on the coffee table. "24 Star Beast Star Beads, 11 Star Ghost Star Beads. We also got some Star Spirit Star Beads, but I exchanged them all for Star Beast Star Beads."

Jiang Xiao: "Exchanged? Star Spirits are gold-level, while Star Beasts are silver-level. The quality of the Star Beads is different. How did you exchange them?"

Han Jiangxue said casually, "I exchanged them with the Star Warriors who were also training in the Star Cave. You don't need to worry too much."

Jiang Xiao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Han Jiangxue's forceful tone: "Go and let the decoy absorb them. School starts on the 1st. We have to go back in a couple of days."

Jiang Xiao was touched. Han Jiangxue was clearly on a rare vacation, but for his sake, she first spent seven days and nights killing in the Snow Plains, and then went to the Star Cave to kill for more than half a month...

Jiang Xiao picked up the backpack, opened the Ruins of Calamity Shadow parallel to the ceiling, jumped in, and disappeared.

Inside the Ruins of Calamity Shadow, Er Wei maintained her sword-wielding stance, while the decoy Jiang Xiao was correcting her movements.

The decoy Jiang Xiao was Jiang Xiao himself, so he had no reaction.

And Er Wei treated training with extreme seriousness. Although she noticed Jiang Xiao's arrival, she still maintained her movements without moving.

Jiang Xiao casually took out a Star Bead, and a message came from the Star Chart in his mind:

"Star Beast Star Bead (Silver Quality)

Possesses Star Techniques:

1. White Starfall: Summons a brilliant star, which descends from the sky and pours into the target's body, healing the target's body. (Silver Quality, upgradeable)

2. Blue Starfall: Summons a brilliant star, which descends from the sky and pours into the target's body, restoring the target's Star Power. (Silver Quality, upgradeable)

Merge and absorb?"

Of course, I won't absorb it!

Jiang Xiao almost slipped up...

If it was really absorbed by the main body, it would be a major accident!

In the distance, the decoy Jiang Xiao suddenly transformed into a crow, flapping its wings and flying rapidly. The one eye on the crow's face was flashing with a scarlet light, making it look strange and cool.

Whoosh!

The one-eyed crow flew in front of Jiang Xiao, transformed into a human, and landed steadily in front of Jiang Xiao, taking the Star Beast Star Bead.

While Jiang Xiao was selecting the Star Beast Star Beads, he reached out and handed them to the decoy Jiang Xiao.

Little Jiangxue was really very careful. Jiang Xiao didn't need to select at all. She had already sorted them into categories.

The three types of Star Beads – Star Beast, Star Ghost, and Star Spirit – were relatively easy to classify, as they were different colors.

Star Beast Star Beads were white, Star Ghost Star Beads were gray, and Star Spirit Star Beads were reddish.

Jiang Xiao found a dozen or so gray Star Beads in the interlayer, held them in his hand, and once again, a message was given in the Star Chart in his mind:

"Star Ghost Star Bead (Gold Quality)

Possesses Star Techniques:

1. Black Starfall: Summons a brilliant star, which descends from the sky and pours into the target's body, striking the target. (Silver Quality, upgradeable)

2. Gray Starfall: Summons a brilliant star, which descends from the sky and pours into the target's body, preventing the enemy from moving freely for a certain period of time. (Gold Quality, upgradeable)

Merge and absorb?"

Obviously, Gray Starfall was a relatively rare output Star Technique among the auxiliary Star Techniques, and relatively difficult to absorb.

Moreover, this Starfall series of Star Techniques had a special attribute, a small detail.

Although there was a difference in color in the Star Technique names, when the user summoned the star, the light emitted by these stars was the same, a brilliant cold star emitting blue-white light.

What really made the names different was because the color of the "core" of the star was different under that light, but people couldn't tell from the appearance. This led to the Starfall series of Star Techniques naturally having a certain degree of deceptiveness.

When a person used the Starfall series of Star Techniques, it was difficult to determine what Star Technique they were using, whether it was healing or restoring Star Power, or even possibly attacking their own teammates...

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiao was reading the Star Technique information, and the decoy Jiang Xiao in front of him had already delivered good news!

He absorbed White Starfall with just 5 Star Beast Star Beads!?

Jiang Xiao was slightly surprised. He needed 5 Star Beads to absorb Bronze Qing Mang. Absorbing the silver-quality White Starfall, and it succeeded with 5 Star Beads?

Because...

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, because the Big Dipper Star Chart was very compatible with medical auxiliary Star Techniques?

Goodness, that's amazing...

Three minutes later, as another 6 Star Beast Star Beads shattered, Blue Starfall was also embedded in the decoy Jiang Xiao's Big Dipper Star Chart!

Was the Big Dipper Star Chart really so compatible with auxiliary Star Techniques? Jiang Xiao couldn't question it. The facts were right in front of him!

What was the situation when Jiang Xiao absorbed Star Techniques before?

Needing more than a dozen Star Beads to successfully absorb a Star Technique? That was nothing! Twenty, thirty, or even close to forty Star Beads were common occurrences.

The decoy Jiang Xiao was excited. He transformed into a crow again, and quickly flew to Er Wei.

Er Wei stood in an attacking posture, holding the blade with both hands, horizontally at her waist, without moving.

The black crow landed on the horizontal giant blade, and under Er Wei's power, the giant blade didn't move at all.

The one-eyed crow stretched out its little feet and jumped on the giant blade.

The one-eyed crow hopped along the long blade of the giant blade to Er Wei's wrist, continued to climb, came to her shoulder, faced her ear, and then opened its sharp beak and shouted, "Caw~"

Er Wei: "..."

The words "I succeeded!" became the annoying "Caw~ Caw~" sound, making it hard for Er Wei to maintain her sword-wielding posture without moving, enduring the noisy crow in her ear.

However, the decoy Jiang Xiao couldn't care about that. He was extremely happy now, finally succeeding!

The one-eyed crow opened its black wings and shouted loudly, "Caw~ Caw~"

Suddenly, Er Wei's hand holding the knife moved! Her movement was minimal, only a tiny bit.

And the crow that was spreading its wings and chirping on her shoulder instantly closed its mouth...

When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy is tired, I become mischievous~

Hehe, uncomfortable~

The decoy Jiang Xiao flew down from her shoulder, transformed into a human, stood in front of Er Wei, and unfolded the Big Dipper Star Chart at the same time.

A piece of gold, silver, and copper shimmered, nine star slots, nine stars shining!

The decoy Jiang Xiao completed what the main body hadn't completed yet!

The decoy Jiang Xiao gestured to the nine stars on his body and said, "Now that the star slots are filled, teach me how to turn the stars into weapons!"

Er Wei's body was still motionless, but her eyes coldly swept over Jiang Xiao.

A small Star River newbie, still dreaming of turning stars into weapons?

How sensitive was the decoy Jiang Xiao? Sensing Er Wei's disdain, he was immediately unhappy.

The decoy Jiang Xiao transformed into a crow again, flew to Er Wei's shoulder, and opened his mouth to her ear: "Caw!"

Er Wei's body trembled slightly, and suddenly had the urge to slap it to death...
