Yu
Chapter 81 Must Be Fast
Jiang Xiao looked at Li Weiyi’s nonchalant expression, secretly admiring his teammate’s magnanimity.
“What level of Awakened is this Teacher Hai?” Jiang Xiao asked.
From beginning to end, Hai Tianqing hadn’t revealed his Star Map, which showed he wasn’t giving his all.
Even so, Hai Tianqing’s Qing Mang (Azure Light) had effortlessly shattered Li Weiyi’s black shield.
The attributes added by Qing Mang were the same, so why could Hai Tianqing shatter the shield so easily, while Jiang Xiao couldn’t?
The difference in Star Power level was the reason for all of this.
Jiang Xiao didn’t think Hai Tianqing was a Nebula stage Awakened; his strength probably far exceeded that level.
That punch, even without using Star Techniques, could shatter Li Weiyi’s shield.
It seemed…
Jiang Xiao had overemphasized the importance of Star Techniques, while the most fundamental difference was still the Star Power level.
There was no way around it. Jiang Xiao’s batch of newly awakened children had similar Star Power levels, basically all at the lowest Stardust stage, with Star Power that didn’t vary much.
That was why the importance of Star Techniques was highlighted.
But when Awakened ones improve further, various Star Techniques might become your winning tricks, but your foundation, your lower limit, is always determined by your Star Power level.
Jiang Xiao suddenly understood a principle.
When he felt that ten of him couldn’t beat one Han Jiangxue, he thought of Han Jiangxue’s Desolate Wind + Shattered Void, the combination of these two Star Techniques was too powerful.
Now Jiang Xiao completely understood that even if Han Jiangxue didn’t use any Star Techniques, and simply used Star Power to fight him, probably ten Jiang Xiaos couldn’t beat one Han Jiangxue.
“He claims to be at the peak of the Nebula stage,” Li Weiyi replied. “But no one can confirm it. We’ve never seen him activate his Star Map, so we can’t judge his Star Power level from the number of his Star Techniques.”
Yes, the Stardust stage can only have 4 Star Techniques.
The Nebula stage adds 4 more Star Techniques.
If a person has 9 Star Techniques, and 9 Star Slots are lit, then they must be a Galaxy stage Awakened.
The Galaxy stage Awakened can add 8 more Star Techniques, which means that if a person has 17 Star Techniques, then they must be a Star Sea stage Awakened.
“Nebula stage?” Jiang Xiao was taken aback and said, “Is the gap that big?”
Li Weiyi shook his head and sighed, “What you saw was just physical fitness, the most basic Star Power confrontation. I had no chance of winning from the start.”
Jiang Xiao didn’t explain that he had seen this most essential point. He looked at Han Jiangxue, only to see her turn around and nod lightly to Li Weiyi, saying, “I’m sorry.”
Li Weiyi smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Although he looked battered and covered in dirt, his smile was sunny: “It’s okay, we just need to work together more.”
Xia Yan walked over. After being dealt with by Hai Tianqing, her arrogant air had subsided a lot, and she said, “Finding a Star Technique for Little Pi to escape and enter the battlefield is a good solution.”
Han Jiangxue shook her head and said, “No, the real solution is my own mental block. Just now, I didn’t need to take care of him at all.”
“That’s true, but what Xia Yan said is also right. We will participate in all kinds of competitions in the future, all with gatherings of experts. Little Pi does need to have the ability to protect himself, otherwise our team will be restricted,” Li Weiyi pondered for a moment and said, “Everyone knows that in team battles, you kill the healer first, and we all know that in team battles, you should protect the healer.”
“Jiang Xiaopi has the powerful Bell and Ring Star Technique, and already has the capital and qualification to be targeted. If…” Li Weiyi looked at Jiang Xiao and said, “If Jiang Xiaopi doesn’t need us to worry, then we can have truly outstanding cooperation, instead of cautiously fighting as a team.”
Jiang Xiao knew that no matter how successful he was in his first year of high school, and had passed through layers of obstacles with cleverness,
in front of this group of third-year high school students, he had undoubtedly become a burden.
Well…
A burden of the healer.
Jiang Xiao thought about it carefully. His Star Power seemed to have reached the Stardust stage checkpoint and was currently at Stardust stage Lv.5.
Looking at the four checkpoints of the universally recognized Awakened, the initial stage should correspond to levels 0~2 in Jiang Xiaopi's inner Star Map, while level 3 is the entry into the mid-stage checkpoint, level 6 is the entry into the late-stage checkpoint, level 8 is the entry into the peak checkpoint, and level 9 is the peak checkpoint.
Going from 5 to 6, passing through this checkpoint, would truly count as entering the late stage of the Stardust stage.
Just go straight up, the skill points should be used on the cutting edge.
Jiang Xiao looked at his 6 skill points, feeling particularly wealthy, and didn't want to waste time at this checkpoint, so he directly added them.
“Star Power upgraded! Stardust stage Lv.6.”
Jiang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, so he could continue to improve steadily, right?
Continue to rush when you reach level 8!
Young people have many setbacks, and the road is full of bumps?
That doesn’t exist.
I will flatten all the unevenness on the road of life.
“Are you very satisfied with this battle defeat?” A clear, cold voice came from Jiang Xiao’s front left, and those faint eyes enveloped Jiang Xiao.
Xia Yan also felt Han Jiangxue’s low mood, and put away her gloating thoughts, hurriedly changing the topic and said, “Right, Little Pi, when your team won first place in the first-year group, the principal gave you a Star Bead? What kind of Star Bead is that?”
Jiang Xiao replied, “It’s said to be from the Lig Desert in Gansu Province, a Long-Tailed Scorpion Star Bead.”
“Long-Tailed Scorpion?” Xia Yan’s eyes lit up and said, “Did you absorb it successfully? The Long-Tailed Scorpion has a life-saving skill, but…”
Xia Yan was a little embarrassed, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Xiao only had 9 Star Slots, and then said, “That Star Technique is not suitable for you, it has too many restrictions on the terrain and consumes too much Star Power. There will be better defensive Star Techniques in the future. You have too few Star Slots, you shouldn’t waste them on this kind of Star Technique, um… did you absorb it or not?”
Jiang Xiao shook his head awkwardly and said, “No, I gave that Star Bead to a classmate.”
“Huh?” Xia Yan was stunned, and then scratched her chestnut-colored short curly hair, and said, “Did you give it to that big blonde?”
“Uh…” Jiang Xiao explained, “After I entered Class 2, I joined the Zhu brothers’ team and replaced a girl named Liu Ke. Later, when our team had a dinner, I told them my goals. Since I used their team as a stepping stone, I always have to give something back.”
“I entered the third year of high school and came to our team, which is a good thing for me. But for the Zhu brothers’ team, I just patted my butt and left,” Jiang Xiao continued, “It’s too impolite to do things like that, so I left the Star Bead to their team, hoping that their team can continue to maintain first place.”
“Hmph.” Xia Yan snorted, and then her expression eased slightly.
Jiang Xiao shook his head: “Before we received the reward, we decided what to do during our team dinner, there’s no need to break our promise.”
“Mm.” Han Jiangxue nodded in agreement, “Well done.”
Li Weiyi also nodded, with a hint of praise in his smile: “It seems that Han Jiangxue has taught you very well.”
Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue and said, “Also, I wasn’t secretly gloating just now, I was just… entering the late stage of the Stardust stage.”
“Mm?”
“What? So fast?” Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan looked at Jiang Xiao in surprise.
“Of course, a man must be fast… um…” Jiang Xiao frowned, “Wait, something doesn’t seem right.”
