Chapter 1 Location: Other Dimension, Snowy Field, Southeast Route

The southeast route, being the least explored by human awakeners, is full of danger and opportunity.

Last time, Han Jiangxue, in order to broaden Jiang Xiao's horizons and use the White Ghoul to strike a blow against him, making the prodigal son Jiang Xiao, who had finally turned back, more in awe of the world, took a four-person team on the northwest route.

Although they encountered an unexpected large population of White Ghoul Witches along the way, the final result was not bad.

This time, however, the three chose the southeast route.

Here, the snow forests are dense, and vast snowfields are rarely seen. It is, of course, the paradise of the White Ghouls.

At this moment, in the snow forest, Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao with a surprised expression. The young man's fist, flashing with a cyan glow, slammed a White Ghoul to the ground!

However, Jiang Xiao, suffering from a lack of killing moves, had no choice but to smash another punch downward, taking advantage of the "repulsion" attribute unique to the cyan glow. The strong White Ghoul's upper body was directly smashed into the ground, turning into an "upside-down" appearance.

"The problem he's exposing is obvious: he doesn't have enough star techniques to inflict damage on the enemy," Han Jiangxue said.

Beside her, Xia Yan nodded. The two of them, like spectators, or like coaches, stood outside the battle circle, watching Jiang Xiao's one-on-one fight with the White Ghoul with rapt attention.

"Your dagger skills are a hundred times better than mine. You can teach him," Han Jiangxue said hesitantly, probing.

"No problem, as long as you kiss me," the female soldier痞 turned to look at the ski enthusiast beside her, seizing the opportunity to act like a hooligan.

Han Jiangxue glanced at Xia Yan coldly, without responding.

"That's right, such an exchange is not equivalent," Xia Yan chuckled, her beautiful eyes turning as she said, "You kiss me, and I'll teach him swordsmanship. My dagger skills are very mediocre, but swordsmanship is different. I've been practicing this for so many years."

Han Jiangxue was slightly stunned. Was she really going to impart swordsmanship?

Did Jiang Xiao's request last time leave a seed in Xia Yan's heart?

"I really want him to become stronger, I want him to join our team," Xia Yan explained Han Jiangxue's doubts in a timely manner, "My kind of weapon can be considered a heavy weapon, both offensive and defensive. Even if he's not skilled, carrying it on his back is good for bluffing, after all, his future role is as a medic."

Han Jiangxue said softly, "Since that's what you want, then go teach him."

"Wouldn't that make me lose face? Someone has to beg me," Xia Yan put her arm around Han Jiangxue's shoulder, feigning a sigh, "I'm not interested in Jiang Xiaopi this kid......"

Han Jiangxue turned her head to look at Xia Yan beside her.

Although Xia Yan couldn't see Han Jiangxue's eyes hidden behind the ski goggles, she could see those thin lips that were close at hand.

It was at this moment that Xia Yan's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her heart thumped wildly.

Han Jiangxue didn't refuse her, didn't push her away.

Under normal circumstances, a kick would be the lightest of punishments!

A touch of unrealistic fantasy suddenly arose in Xia Yan's heart, and she subconsciously closed her eyes, her face reaching forward.

Han Jiangxue's eyes, hidden behind the ski goggles, still looked coldly at the woman in front of her. She couldn't help but raise a hand, gently pressing her cold back of her hand against Xia Yan's lips.

"Wow!" Xia Yan shouted happily, as if her brain had crashed. She turned around, opened her eyes to look at this beautiful world, and bounced and skipped towards Jiang Xiao, like a husky frolicking and rolling in the snow.

Han Jiangxue looked at the frolicking Xia Yan with a look of pity, shook her head helplessly, and shouted at the back, "Forget the knife, this environment is not suitable for training, you should still teach him dagger skills."

"Yes, my princess, your knight will follow your will," Xia Yan replied happily, in a very good mood.

"It's really thick-skinned." At this time, Jiang Xiao was riding on the White Ghoul, punching it in the back of the head. He didn't have the habit of carrying a dagger, and he couldn't ask the White Ghoul to wait while he went back to find his field pack.

Therefore, the scene was somewhat deadlocked for a while, but even if you are thick-skinned, even if my strength is insufficient, with these punches straight to the back of the head, you have to suffer some damage, right?

"Back off, back off!" Behind him, Xia Yan's excited voice suddenly came.

Jiang Xiao was shocked and hurriedly leaned back. A sharp giant blade fell from the sky, deeply piercing into the ground, directly piercing the White Ghoul's head.

Xia Yan came with wind and snow, like a celestial being descending, and the tumbling air waves directly blew Jiang Xiao behind her away.

Fortunately, there was thick snow here, so although Jiang Xiao rolled countless times on the ground, it didn't hurt much. On the contrary, he was in pain all over from the star power released by Xia Yan.

"Boy, do you want to learn this move?" Xia Yan held the hilt of the knife with both hands, inserted it into the ground, and turned her head without turning her body, leaving Jiang Xiao with a heroic profile.

"Flying heavenly grass?" Jiang Xiao asked subconsciously.

"What?" Xia Yan slowly pulled out the giant blade, carried it on her shoulder, and turned to look at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao: "No, nothing......"

"Your Qingmang (cyan glow) can be used on this blade. It's wide enough and heavy enough. If you use it well, it will be a significant improvement to your combat ability," Xia Yan slowly pointed the giant blade at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao frowned, got up, and turned to look at Han Jiangxue. He still remembered Han Jiangxue's advice that learning other people's skills really required a lot of attention.

Han Jiangxue shook her head gently.

Jiang Xiao was stunned, he didn't know what was going on.

What kind of wind was Xia Yan blowing again?

"After we get back, I'll train you properly. Now, take out your dagger," Xia Yan seemed to have been injected with stimulants. Her already heroic face now seemed even more radiant. She carried the large blade on her back, reached to her leg with her right hand, and pulled out a dagger. "I'll teach you some dagger skills first."

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. This was reliable!

Jiang Xiao hurriedly ran to the side, picked up his field pack, and asked quietly, "Why is she suddenly so excited?"

"She's always like this, crazy, don't pay attention to her," Han Jiangxue gestured to the White Ghoul's corpse beside her and said, "Go find the Star Bead."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao couldn't figure it out and eventually gave up.

Jiang Xiao, who had once again harvested a White Ghoul Star Bead, directly absorbed it. In the previous battle, he had consumed a lot of star power, and a White Ghoul Star Bead was not even enough to replenish it.

And now he couldn't stop to condense star power, so he could only replenish it in this way.

To actively absorb star power, one must be in a static state, and the quieter the surroundings, the better.

After absorbing the Star Bead, Jiang Xiao's star techniques "Qingmang" (cyan glow) and "Ren Nai" (endurance) failed to increase in level, not even by a small level.

Qingmang (cyan glow), Silver Quality Lv.1 (610).

Ren Nai (endurance), Silver Quality Lv.1 (610).

Now, Jiang Xiao had no more stock, and had absorbed all the Star Beads he had in the constant battles.

Jiang Xiao didn't have to worry about the quality of these two star techniques, Qingmang (cyan glow) and Ren Nai (endurance), because, as the most basic Star Beads in the North River Land, costing 500~800 each, they were always in stock!

As long as you have money, you can upgrade to Gold quality, Platinum quality, or even Diamond quality!

The problem is that Jiang Xiao doesn't have money.

Um......

The problem is that Jiang Xiao doesn't dare to upgrade at the current stage. Once it reaches Gold quality, Jiang Xiao's meager star power might not be enough to unleash a Qingmang (cyan glow) punch.

Secondly, Qingmang (cyan glow) of Gold or even higher quality is too eye-catching. Jiang Xiao's current strength is not enough to possess such shocking star techniques, which would attract too much trouble.

Speaking of which, this lowest level of White Ghoul Star Bead is really suitable for Jiang Xiao, who can upgrade the quality of star techniques.

Not only the "Qingmang" (cyan glow) star technique, but also the second star technique "Ren Nai" (endurance) is extremely powerful, and can increase Jiang Xiao's defense.

Although there was no change in his physical body, Jiang Xiao clearly felt in the fight that the punches and claws of the White Ghoul on his body caused less damage and pain to him.

He didn't know if this star technique, after being upgraded to its final quality, could make Jiang Xiao invulnerable to swords and spears.

With dreams for the future, Jiang Xiao quickly followed the husky... um, Xia Yan in front.
