Chapter 7 Seven Days Later

"Hehe, you woman, don't bother me." Xia Yan nestled on the sofa, her long legs crossed, resting on the coffee table in front of her, her feet playfully kicking up from time to time, looking like she was in a very good mood.

On the other end of the phone, Han Jiangxue felt the veins on her forehead throbbing, barely managing to hold back her anger.

"Alright, that's it, don't bother me if you have nothing important." Xia Yan hung up the phone directly and casually tossed her phone onto the sofa. The next second, Xia Yan couldn't help but giggle, clutching her stomach and rolling around on the sofa without any regard for her image.

In the dining room not far away, Aunt Zhou watched her young mistress's unladylike behavior, sighed with a shake of her head, and turned back to continue stir-frying the dishes.

"Let you be aloof, let you ignore me, let you pretend." Xia Yan was in a great mood, laughing to herself. Usually, Han Jiangxue would barely acknowledge her, always waiting for Xia Yan to take the initiative and shamelessly ask her out before Han Jiangxue would reluctantly agree.

But now, Jiang Xiao had only been holed up in the basement for a week, and Han Jiangxue had already called a full seven times, averaging once a day. Moreover, Han Jiangxue hadn't even made a single call in the first three days.

Xia Yan picked up Jiang Xiao's phone from the side. Every time she picked up this old phone, she felt like she was holding an antique.

Skillfully opening Weibo, Jiang Xiao's account already had eight new posts.

Each one was flirting with death, testing the boundaries of what he could get away with.

And at the end of each one, there was the ever-popular "ps" section, clearly explaining the deepening affection of an underage boy for a sexy and beautiful older sister.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Xia Yan looked at the last Weibo post she had made in Jiang Xiao's name.

You know, even if the heavy rain turns this city upside down, I'll give you a hug.

ps: Day 8 of liking Sister Xia Yan.

Buzz... Buzz...

Xia Yan turned her head to look at her phone on the sofa, picked it up with a grin, changed her tone, and said impatiently, "What is it?"

"Oh, you're asking me out to play?"

"But I don't have time. I have to train Little Pi."

"Him? He's just like that, he won't die."

"Hey, fine, fine, I'll go, alright? Women are so troublesome."

Xia Yan hung up the phone, and the impatient look on her face disappeared instantly. She jumped up from the sofa.

Her appearance was just like a neurotic husky, excitedly gesticulating and jumping around, frolicking in circles in the living room.

In the dining room, Aunt Zhou held the spatula and sighed again, shaking her head: "What a beautiful girl, such a pity..."

At the same time, in the basement.

Two men were fighting fiercely in an octagon cage.

To be precise, it was a strong man and a little kid.

The strong man was burly and imposing, his muscles bulging all over his body, his sweat-soaked black vest clinging tightly to his skin, probably able to be wrung out.

He was about 175 centimeters tall, with dark skin, a cold face, wearing protective gear and fingerless gloves, and was instructing the little kid in front of him on how to punch.

And the little brat in front of him was Jiang Xiao, also fully equipped with protective gear, correcting his fighting posture in constant sparring.

For Jiang Xiao, his biggest success in the past few days was forcing the strong man opposite him to wear headgear.

The two could be considered to be eating and living together, messing around here for a full seven days.

Cut off from the world, Jiang Xiao lived up to Han Jiangxue's expectations and, more importantly, to his own.

The sweat of these past few days was not shed in vain, and the days spent in the dark were not wasted.

In fact, Jiang Xiao didn't know whether it was his talent or the system that was so powerful. In short, in these short seven days, his combat power had soared.

In the Basic Skills section, the bronze-quality Unarmed Combat had been upgraded to Lv.5.

Seven days, a full three small levels raised, such a speed surprised Jiang Xiao, and also surprised Lei Jin, the coach. You know, when Lei Jin first took over Jiang Xiao, he was just a beginner.

Although Jiang Xiao is still a beginner now, he is barely presentable.

Lei Jin also thought that Jiang Xiao had a good talent, but different from Jiang Xiao's thoughts, Lei Jin believed that this was the result of Jiang Xiao's efforts.

A 16-year-old young man is locked in the basement every day, afraid that he would be driven crazy, but the perseverance and willpower shown by Jiang Xiao really made Lei Jin look at this child with admiration.

Every day from 4:30 in the morning to 9:30 in the evening, without missing a single minute, without being willful or mischievous. He completely followed the plan set by Lei Jin and moved forward steadily, almost over-fulfilling the task every day.

To be honest, even Lei Jin, an adult, felt that he needed to go out to breathe some fresh air and bask in the sun, but how could this child be so hardworking?

How could he be so desperate?

He's only 16 years old, and it doesn't look like he's lost his wife?

What's this kid holding back?

Who is he going to take revenge on?

It was precisely because of Jiang Xiao's efforts that Lei Jin put aside his prejudices against this "rich kid", and did not have much disgust and resentment towards Jiang Xiao's behavior of absorbing Star Beads.

Yes, in the past 7 days, Jiang Xiao has absorbed a full 4 White Ghoul Star Beads.

Every time when he was physically exhausted, he would absorb a White Ghoul Star Bead. In the words of coach Lei Jin, this was the best time for the body to absorb and improve its physique.

During the Snowfield trip 7 days ago, Jiang Xiao obtained 2 White Ghoul Star Beads when he was picking up corpses. Later, he was assigned 1 more after the mission was over. On the way home, Han Jiangxue gave him 2 White Ghoul Star Beads and 1 White Ghoul Witch Star Bead, and when the training started here with Xia Yan, Xia Yan threw him 2 more White Ghoul Star Beads.

So, Jiang Xiao has a total of 7 White Ghoul Star Beads and 1 White Ghoul Witch Star Bead.

And at this time, after absorbing 4 White Ghoul Star Beads, the Star Techniques "Green Glow" and "Endurance" inlaid in his second Star Slot have both become Bronze quality Lv.5.

Jiang Xiao is very happy about this. The inner vision Star Chart says that it takes 10 White Ghoul Star Beads to improve the quality of the Star Technique, but he is, after all, a "one star, two skills" (yi xing shuang ji), and he thought that he would have to pay double the Star Beads, but unexpectedly, when one Star Bead is absorbed, the level of both skills in the same Star Slot will be improved.

"Faster, faster." Lei Jin's hands were in front of his face, posing in a standard defensive posture, and suddenly his left fist gently tapped out.

And this lightning-like left jab not only broke Jiang Xiao's attack, but also knocked Jiang Xiao back several steps with this extremely simple and effective jab.

"Why don't you dodge? I'm not a sandbag, I have hands, I will attack." Lei Jin's pace did not keep up, and he still stood in place.

Jiang Xiao shook his head. This guy on the opposite side was originally a Sanda sparring partner. Especially in this world full of Star Power, the art of fighting is also shining brightly, and various fighting events with different rules are emerging one after another.

Lei Jin is considered to be a fighter closer to ordinary people. He at least has the "Green Glow" Star Technique, but because he has never been serious, he has never opened the Star Chart. Jiang Xiao doesn't know what shape his Star Chart is, how many Star Slots he has, and what his aptitude is.

Of course, Jiang Xiao has never opened the Star Chart, and has never even shown the "Blessing" Star Technique in front of Lei Jin.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiao heals himself, he either goes to the toilet, or takes a bath in the bathroom.

Therefore, Lei Jin can always hear strange noises from the boy in the toilet and bathroom.

In this regard, Lei Jin has also persuaded Jiang Xiao, and he did it at lunch.

At that time, Jiang Xiao almost sprayed the vegetable soup out.

I remember that Lei Jin friendly patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "We live together every day, it's impossible for me not to know about you."

Jiang Xiao blinked, not understanding what the coach meant.

Lei Jin: "I know you are young and energetic, but you have to learn to restrain yourself. I was always embarrassed to say it a few days ago. It's already the seventh day. You are a very hardworking child, and I like you very much, so I think I have to persuade you."

Jiang Xiao looked at Lei Jin inexplicably, what are you trying to say?

Lei Jin said: "Once or twice a week is fine, but you can't do it every day. Now is the time for you to grow, so you have to learn to restrain yourself."

Jiang Xiao awkwardly twitched the corners of his mouth: "Restrain..."

Lei Jin also nodded a little awkwardly and suggested: "Also, if you need personal space, tell me, and I can go upstairs to live at night. As someone who has been there, brother, let me tell you, you are too impatient, and always being so fast will become a habit."

Jiang Xiao's face darkened.

Damn it!

Where's my knife...
