Chapter 1

Xia Yan finally lifted the giant blade she was dragging, her long legs tensed, and she stomped hard on the snow, sending her entire body flying out in an instant!

*Thwack!*

Jiang Xiao's expression changed in surprise as he ran. In his 25 years of life, where had he ever seen such a bloody and violent scene?

He saw Xia Yan and the white ghost leading the charge on the left collide with a bang. The burning giant blade, from top to bottom, directly cleaved the thick-skinned white ghost in two, splattering large amounts of blood all over Xia Yan's face.

Xia Yan seemed used to it. She flicked her pretty chestnut-colored short curly hair, even sticking out her small tongue to lightly lick the blood that had splashed onto her lips, full of a sexy, violent, wild beauty.

The death of one white ghost did not interrupt Xia Yan's slaughter. The giant blade made contact with the ground, creating a large pit. The scorching flames burned the accumulated snow, and under the misty haze, Xia Yan took advantage of the momentum to turn around, wielding the giant blade and slashing horizontally forward.

The closest charging white ghost leaped up, making it seem inevitable that it would avoid the waist-splitting blade.

However, behind Jiang Xiao, a cluster of blooming white flame constellations appeared on Han Jiangxue's body: two bronze, two silver, and one gold.

Gold!?

Jiang Xiao knew that none of the Awakened teachers in the entire high school possessed a gold skill. What kind of encounter did Han Jiangxue have to obtain a gold skill!?

He saw Han Jiangxue suddenly reach forward, and the silver star slot suddenly lit up.

Silver Star Technique: Desolate Wind.

A gust of wind suddenly swept over the head of the leaping white ghost, and the tall white ghost seemed to be pressed down by an invisible hand.

*Thwack!*

The blade flashed, and the flames roared.

Blood splattered, severed at the waist.

"Bronze First Kill, Skill Point +1."

This information in his mind made Jiang Xiao slightly stunned. Bronze First Kill?

So skill points are earned by killing?

And according to this meaning, team battles also count the kills towards oneself?

On Xia Yan's side, the star power shockwave and the flames directly blew away the two white ghosts behind her. Even though they were 4 or 5 meters away from the previous white ghost, they were still affected, showing the power of Xia Yan's strike.

The two white ghosts flew backwards, crashing heavily to the ground, constantly rolling and wailing, seemingly shaken badly by the star power shockwave.

"Ooo~ Ooo~" Accompanied by several strange cries in the snow forest, two white lights fell on the white ghosts.

The miserable cries of the two white ghosts disappeared, replaced by violent roars.

"White Ghost Witches, watch out for the White Ghost Witches." Xia Yan dragged the giant blade and continued to rush forward. Trying to block and surround us? Dream on!

"Mm." Han Jiangxue observed the situation on the battlefield, and her heart tightened. In the white flame constellation, the silver star slot lit up again.

"Oh my god." Jiang Xiao only felt his body floating in the clouds, blown forward by a gust of wind.

As Jiang Xiao fell in a parabola, he turned his head to look behind him, only to see two white ghosts chasing after him being blown away by Han Jiangxue in the same way. However, soldier Pi Keqiu was already engaged in close combat with the white ghosts chasing after him.

Pi Keqiu's constellation was a spherical pattern, also with 16 star slots, inlaid with three bronze star techniques. At this moment, the first star slot in the spherical constellation was shining brightly. Pi Keqiu's right fist was emitting a cyan light. He bent over, dodged a white ghost's sharp claws, and punched hard at the white ghost's chest.

*Thump!*

A muffled sound.

The white ghost's heavy body flew three meters backwards, due not only to Pi Keqiu's own strength, but also to the "Powerful Strike" and "Slight Knockback" effects enhanced by the cyan light.

Before the flying white ghost landed, Han Jiangxue moved forward at lightning speed, and the second silver star slot in the white flame constellation lit up as she threw a fireball backhand.

Silver Star Technique: Explosive Flame.

The fireball accurately hit the white ghost's pitch-black face and exploded instantly.

"Aooo aooo aooo!" The white ghost howled miserably. Its face, without any fur, was scorched and burning by the exploding fireball, causing it to wail in pain.

"Ooo~ Ooo~"

*Whoosh!* A beam of white light descended from the sky and landed on the white ghost, who was covering its face and rolling on the ground.

In the snow forest, an extremely slender humanoid creature revealed its gloomy face from behind a tree. Its body was also covered with thick white fur, but its face was pale and bloodless, and its skin was extremely shriveled, like withered wood.

"Come out." Han Jiangxue's rapidly chasing figure suddenly stopped, sliding half a meter in the snow, stirring up阵阵accumulated snow. Her slender index finger pointed at the humanoid creature at the edge of the snow forest and flicked it upwards slightly.

The White Ghost Witch at the edge of the snow forest's expression changed drastically, and a gust of wind swept over, sending its entire body flying out uncontrollably.

Xia Yan pressed one hand on the burning blade and held the hilt with the other, blocking the giant blade in front of her. A white ghost lunged forward with its claws bared, emitting a cyan light, and slammed hard on the burning blade, causing Xia Yan to take half a step back.

"You guys..." Xia Yan, about to counterattack, felt her entire body become uncontrollable and fly diagonally into the sky. Her body passed over several surrounding white ghosts and plunged into the distant snow forest.

High in the air, Xia Yan finally knew who her target was!

It was the White Ghost Witch, who was also out of control and flying rapidly!

Han Jiangxue stood in place, her cold eyes beneath the cotton cap showing no emotional fluctuations, as if she had forgotten that she was in a dangerous battlefield. Her arms hung down naturally, and her hands faced the two figures in the sky, carefully controlling everything.

Xia Yan licked her lips, her eyes releasing a wild light. She gripped the hilt tightly, swinging her arm in a perfect arc from back to front in the air.

At the same time, the fourth star slot in the two-handed sword constellation lit up with silver light.

Silver Star Technique: Flame Arc.

One slash, clean and neat!

However, Xia Yan was at least 20 meters away from the White Ghost Witch, but Xia Yan in mid-air still wielded the giant blade and slashed down.

The moment the blade slashed down, a scarlet blade arc flew out from the burning greatsword. The burning blade arc was crescent-shaped, and traversed rapidly in the dim sky, illuminating the entire world, and shattering the dried body of the White Ghost Witch.

*Rumble!*

The series of explosions was so pleasant to hear. Xia Yan staggered to the ground, thrusting the blade into the ground, still sliding forward for several meters, dragging out a long trail of knife marks on the ground, before slowly stabilizing her figure.

She raised her head, her starry eyes bright and radiant, full of vigor, and looked at Han Jiangxue in the distance, seemingly wanting to see her best friend's admiring gaze, but...

"Be ca..." Before Xia Yan could say "be careful", the white ghost charging towards Han Jiangxue from behind had already been blocked by a figure.

This figure was not fast, and it could be seen that he had not acted on a whim, but had been paying attention to Han Jiangxue for a long time.

Moreover, this figure was not low-key, he crashed into the white ghost with a white beam of light.

This person was Jiang Xiao.

Just now, Jiang Xiao, who had been blown away by Han Jiangxue, rolled and landed, intending to catch up with Xia Yan as planned and break through the encirclement, but Xia Yan was thrown into the air by Han Jiangxue, and Han Jiangxue's body also stopped. At the same time, controlling the figures of Xia Yan and the White Ghost Witch seemed somewhat difficult, requiring concentration and a firm footing.

This made Jiang Xiao anxious. He hurriedly ran back, but soldier Pi Keqiu could only defend one side for Han Jiangxue, and could not attract all the attacks.

Rushing and hurrying, Jiang Xiao finally caught up.

The white ghost's sharp claws flashed with cyan light, and Jiang Xiao's fist also flashed with cyan light. The difference was that the white ghost's attack target was Han Jiangxue, while Jiang Xiao's attack target was the white ghost.

Jiang Xiao's strength was simply unable to stop the charging white ghost, but the star skill "Cyan Glow" had a slight knockback effect!

Jiang Xiao's punch directly hit the white ghost's kidney, and the white ghost's entire body twisted, being knocked away dozens of centimeters, forcibly changing its "course".

With a "swoosh" sound, the white ghost flew past Han Jiangxue, explaining what is meant by "brushing shoulders".
