Chapter 36

When Er Wei received the news, in the Alien Sphere, Jiang Xiao and the blind girl were resting against a large tree.

Light rain was still falling in the sky, making the already cold environment unbearably harsh.

The blind girl leaned against the tree, silently sensing the anomalies occurring within Jiang Xiao.

Finally, Jiang Xiao had traversed the land of Bei Jiang and gathered enough 1,000 White Ghoul Witch Star Beads.

This was with Jiang Xiao holding back; at this moment, within Jiang Xiao's Calamity Shadow World, thousands of White Ghoul Witches roamed the land of Bei Jiang.

While the number seemed large, they were the "sparks." Although the Star Warriors team had left most of the area around Jiangbin City untouched, to avoid accidents, Jiang Xiao didn't want the White Ghoul Witches to be wiped out.

If Jiang Xiao hadn't realized he was about to leave Bei Jiang, the last dozen or so White Ghoul Witches in this area would have been thrown into the Calamity Shadow World as well.

Outside of Bei Jiang, Zhong Ji and Liaodong also had snowfield creatures, but they were few in number.

Jiang Xiao absorbed the last White Ghoul Witch Star Bead, and exciting news came from within his Inner Vision Star Chart!

"Blessing upgraded! Candle Moon quality!"

"Lure upgraded! Candle Moon quality!"

"Heh..." Jiang Xiao exhaled a wisp of white mist. He reached out and rubbed his cold, damp face, then looked at the Star Technique descriptions.

The description of Candle Moon · Blessing was still unchanged?

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly. He reached out, palm up, and instantly, a white light shone in his palm.

The pure white pillar of light shot straight into the sky, its radiant glow tearing through the dark clouds!

Directly overhead, the churning black cloud sea was rapidly tainted by the white light. Such an astonishing phenomenon was unfortunately unobservable to the blind girl.

Slowly, the pitter-patter of rain was mixed with glowing white rain. Specks of light fell like threads, touching people's bodies and nourishing their hearts.

"Hmm..." The blind girl let out an intoxicating moan, looking languid. In such a cold environment, she actually felt warm all over.

"Very magical," the blind girl said softly, her voice still faint, but with an added hint of laziness.

This ethereal woman finally had a touch of humanity in her words.

Jiang Xiao looked up at the glowing white pillar of light and said, "It could already do this at the last quality level. After the upgrade..."

Jiang Xiao's heart stirred, and with deliberate control, he saw the glowing white pillar of light that shot into the sky rapidly shrink!

In the blink of an eye, the churning cloud sea that had been stained by the light pillar returned to its dark color.

The light pillar in Jiang Xiao's hand also became shorter and shorter, constantly descending from the sky, finally reaching a position a few dozen centimeters above their heads.

Jiang Xiao was a little dumbfounded. He knew that he was holding a pillar of blessing light, but anyone else would probably think that Jiang Xiao was holding a lightsaber in his palm!

As the light pillar in Jiang Xiao's hand was only about a meter long, at the very top of the light pillar, layers of white light, like faint clouds, scattered.

Then...

Jiang Xiao seemed to be holding a special umbrella, but this umbrella did not block the rain at all.

Above his head, the glowing white mist spread out, constantly pouring down specks of light rain, landing on his head and shoulders, warming his body and nourishing his mind.

Controllable range?

Controllable height?

From a large-scale, group Star Technique, it had become a single-target Star Technique?

From a boundless, unrestrained blessing cloud sea, it had become a small blessing cloud mist?

Jiang Xiao's heart stirred. The length of the light pillar in his hand increased by one meter, and the scattered glowing white mist also expanded, enveloping both of them.

In the light rain of blessing, the life force of the two slowly increased.

Unrushed, silent and nourishing.

But this didn't seem to fit the crazy and unrestrained temperament of Jiu Xing Du Nai?

Jiang Xiao carefully experienced something, and suddenly his expression became strange.

The blind girl keenly sensed that Jiang Xiao's expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"

But Jiang Xiao hardened his heart. The light pillar in his hand suddenly became denser. The length and thickness did not change, but it was clear that the output rate of the blessing light was increasing wildly!

And the thin cloud mist above their heads also surged.

Specks of starlight rain gradually evolved into heavy rain, torrential rain, until it was pouring down!

Seeing that things were not right, the blind girl quickly flew backward.

In the torrential rain of small blessing light, like a waterfall of floods, from within the waterfall, as expected, came Jiang Xiao's strange guttural sounds...

The blind girl stood silently in the distance from the waterfall. When the "blessing waterfall" disappeared, Jiang Xiao was already "lying dead" in front of her...

Blind Girl: "..."

She admired Jiang Xiao's spirit of experimentation. After waiting for a while, she floated over and gently kicked Jiang Xiao's ankle, saying, "Wake up."

"Uh?" Jiang Xiao's eyes were hazy, his face flushed, and he looked at the person in front of him with a confused expression, as if his brain was still crashing. He lightly sighed, "Wow... a fairy sister... why is she blind?"

Blind Girl: ???

The blind girl wasn't sure if Jiang Xiao was made dizzy by his own blessing or if he was simply being flirty.

She saw the blind girl's palm reach out from her spacious cloak, and specks of Star Power were pieced together, converging into a soul whip.

The blind girl didn't whip him, but simply weighed it in her hand, placing the illusory soul whip on Jiang Xiao's chest.

After a full few seconds, the dizzy Jiang Xiao finally had a trace of movement. He suddenly woke up, did a backflip, stood up, and looked at the blind girl with an unfriendly expression, saying, "What are you doing?"

The blind girl frowned slightly. This "soul lash," enough to make people tremble in body and spirit, from the Fourth Level Star Warrior from Da Meng, finally made Jiang Xiao have some normal reaction.

It could be seen that he wasn't intentionally flirting just now, but unconsciously said what he was thinking in a daze.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted like this after being eroded by the whip for a full few seconds.

This blessing's "side effect" was indeed strong, so strong that a high-quality, mind-shattering Star Technique like Soul Lash needed several seconds to barely break the aftermath of the blessing.

It was especially worth noting that the Soul Lash Star Technique broke the "aftermath" of the blessing.

If Jiang Xiao kept holding this "umbrella" of blessing light, would he be immune to even soul damage!?

"Put the whip away! Even my sister hasn't whipped... um..." Jiang Xiao paused. It seemed that Xiao Jiangxue had really whipped him. She had the Torch Whip Star Technique and had used the Torch Whip more than once to help Jiang Xiao escape danger before he had Teleportation.

The blind girl loosened her hand, and the soul whip fell on the wet, muddy, snowy ground, shattered into specks of starlight, and dissipated in the air.

If he wasn't just flirting, but a heartfelt exclamation...

Then, in his heart, was that the image she held?

Well, it was acceptable...

The blind girl thought secretly, floated back a few meters, and changed the subject, saying, "What about the lure?"

Jiang Xiao understood that she should be trying to wake him up in this way.

But Jiang Xiao wasn't willing to accept this form. He muttered, "Just this once! Never again! Don't I have any dignity?

I just fell asleep lying down, you just guard me by the side, don't you know how tired Captain is?"

"Okay," the blind girl nodded gently.

This sudden well-behavedness made Jiang Xiao very suspicious. Had this girl had a change of heart?

Jiang Xiao shook his head, discarded the random thoughts, and looked at the Inner Vision Star Chart again.

Although the description of Candle Moon · Blessing hadn't changed, the change in Candle Moon · Lure was clearly visible, and it made Jiang Xiao ecstatic!

"Candle Moon · Lure: Create a lure. (36)"

Oh my god~

There were really three more lures!?

The previous Candle Moon · Earth Light had given Jiang Xiao three more Star Charts that could be created!

Six lures with six Star Charts!?

Jiang Xiao was extremely excited!

Putting aside what kind of Star Technique combination these three lures would eventually be matched with, at the very least, having one more lure would give Jiang Xiao one more person who could control a "mecha"!

This was a surefire win. Jiang Xiao only needed to summon a Soul Devouring Star Chart lure!

The lure only had 9 Star Slots, the success rate of absorbing Star Techniques was very low, and it couldn't upgrade the quality of the Star Techniques.

The nine-star lure was of course not as strong as Baze, Martha, or Flower Fairy Leader · Cui Keli with 28 or 9 Star Slots.

Just having a lure control a mecha was worth it!

What's more, Jiang Xiao had already grasped the trick of controlling a mecha.

The lure no longer had to lie down or sit down like before, controlling the mecha with all its heart.

For example, Jiang Shou could now act normally while controlling Baze.

A living example was right in front of him. Jiang Shou built treehouses in the birch forest, cleaned the stone villa every day, and made dishes for everyone. These were all easy tasks.

Except for not being able to support very "hardcore" dual-line combat, everything else was a state of "free movement" for Jiang Shou.

Of course, the so-called "inability to support" was a technical inability to support. If you really wanted to operate and fight on two lines, you could fight even if you went all out.

Jiang Shou and Baze could also participate in the battle at the same time, but the result... uh, definitely wouldn't be good, and there was a possibility that one side would "hang up" at any time.

The relationship between the main body and the lure was multiple bodies and multiple brains, with interconnected senses but relatively independent, having their own independent thinking and fighting abilities.

The relationship between the Lure Star Chart and the puppet mecha was a pure control relationship, which was much more difficult than "fighting with both hands."

Moreover, controlling a living mecha was even more difficult than controlling other clones, such as Martha's three water clones.

When Jiang Shou was fighting in Martha's body, he could easily control his three water clones, allowing the four Marthas to fight together seamlessly.

Although the external forms were the same, they were both controlling bodies, but the essence was different.

Martha's water clone was her own Star Technique, controlling her own water clone.

Jiang Shou, on the other hand, was transforming Star Power into martial power, controlling the body of another person. This skill was more advanced, more complex, and more difficult for the user to be distracted.

Two identical external performances, but there was a qualitative difference.

Now it was good, the extra lure could be considered to have liberated Jiang Shou.

In this way, ensuring one person per mecha increased the chances of survival and freed up stronger Star Warriors to join the Star Warriors team.

The lure could also guard one side in the Calamity Shadow World, teaching or managing tribes in the increasingly large number of Star Beast forces such as the birch forest, the ancient pagoda, and the ice prayer forest, increasing his prestige as Jiang Xiao.

Several birds with one stone!

"Yay~" The more Jiang Xiao thought about it, the happier he became. If one day he had the bodies of six Star Warriors...

Then Jiang Tu, Jiang Xun, and the like would stay in the Calamity Shadow World, acting as six city lords to maintain stability.

Jiang Xiao could just take six world-destroying Star Warrior mechas and wander around the world.
