Chapter 28 July 28th, Bai Lin City Olympic Stadium

The stands were filled with a roar, and outside the venue, people from all over the world were glued to the live broadcast on television, their eyes fixed on the arena.

Li Li's voice traveled through television screens, reaching countless homes in China: "CCTV! CCTV! Welcome to the 2019 World Cup Individual Tournament - Grand Final! This is the Bai Lin City Olympic Stadium, I am your host, Li Li!"

Ye Xunyang chimed in, "I am your host, Ye Xunyang."

Li Li excitedly surveyed the audience and said, "Even before the last few rounds, the Olympic Stadium seemed to have become our Chinese home ground, and on this final day of the decisive battle, it has been completely taken over by the color red!"

Ye Xunyang, in high spirits, said with a smile, "The battle for the championship is between two of our country's contestants. We have already pre-booked the overall championship!"

Li Li said with endless emotion, "When the World Cup first started a month ago, we never imagined that this year's event would be comparable to, or even surpass, the previous one!"

Ye Xunyang smiled and said, "Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has always been able to unleash amazing energy at crucial moments, hasn't it?"

"In such a grand environment, in this 'Doomsday World Cup' as the world calls it, the Chinese team has already pre-booked the individual championship!

And in the team competition next door, two demon kings have descended, sweeping away all obstacles with irresistible force, heading straight for the championship throne!"

Li Li: "The younger generation of Star Warriors has risen! They have not only stepped onto the world stage, but are also infinitely close to the peak of human Star Warrior realm.

I think many people, like me, never thought that the younger generation of Chinese Star Warriors would give us such a huge surprise in this World Cup."

Ye Xunyang said softly, "They are not only members of the national team, nor are they just students of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy, they are also pioneers! Seeing such a young generation of soldiers growing up like this, many people will feel as safe as I do, right?"

The two hosts chatted in the host seats, their words full of rhythm.

Without a doubt, they both had special missions to host the competition, and the Chinese team really lived up to expectations. With real results and true strength on display, Ye Xunyang and Li Li were able to easily express their views and get the rhythm going.

If you were eliminated in the first round, even if the two hosts had great skills, it wouldn't be easy to manipulate things.

At this time, in the changing room of the participating team members, two small crew cuts were sitting on a bench.

Jiang Xiao leaned against the wall, sitting on the side, playing with his phone, while Yi Qingchen silently wiped her giant blade, without saying a word.

As opponents in this game, the two should have been separated in two changing rooms, but at Yi Qingchen's insistence, the two were not separated.

Team leader Gong Juren, including other coaches, knew the relationship between the two, so they did not stop them.

Yi Qingchen suddenly called out, "Pipi."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao didn't even look up, but muttered, "You call me Shifu (master) on Weibo, why do you call me Pipi when we meet?"

Yi Qingchen stopped wiping the giant blade and said, "Pipi is more intimate, without a sense of distance. Wouldn't it be easier to talk when training under you in the future?"

Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "Strict masters produce excellent disciples."

"By the way," Yi Qingchen said, "My family has already prepared a master-apprenticeship ceremony and gifts for me. They have invited you to return to the Central Plains with me after the World Cup."

"Uh?" Jiang Xiao scratched his head and suddenly thought of a song, and he actually hummed it out while shaking his head, "I rode a white horse through three passes, I changed into plain clothes to return to the Central Plains..."

Yi Qingchen's expression was a little strange. This half-baked Minnan dialect was just awful.

As a person from the Central Plains, Yi Qingchen couldn't understand the Minnan dialect. She had a concept that if she could understand either Cantonese or Minnan dialect, then the other person's pronunciation must be non-standard.

Yi Qingchen turned to look at Jiang Xiao, who was sitting against the wall on the right, and said, "Will you come home with me?"

"Okay, your family values it so much, it's giving me face, so I have to accept it." Jiang Xiao smiled and continued tapping the screen of his phone.

Yi Qingchen's face lit up with joy, and she said sweetly, "You will definitely like the master-apprenticeship gift!"

Looking at her state and tone, she seemed very confident in the gifts prepared by her family.

Jiang Xiao shook his head and babbled, "What gift or no gift, am I greedy for your gifts? I'm interested in your talent!

Your long arms and long legs, your body is so agile, your heart is so determined... Such a piece of jade, if it is not carefully carved, wouldn't it be harmful to nature?"

As he spoke, even Jiang Xiao believed himself!

"Hehe." Yi Qingchen smiled like a flower when she heard the compliment, "What weapon will you use later?"

Jiang Xiao curled his lips and said, "Guess."

Yi Qingchen suggested, "Use a giant blade! Use a double giant blade! Show the strongest skills, defeat me in a crushing manner!"

Jiang Xiao: ???

But Yi Qingchen had a serious face, and said, "Everyone in my family will watch this game, let them see how powerful you are!"

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly, and also found that Yi Qingchen's state was not right. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Qingchen."

Yi Qingchen: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao also looked serious: "Although I promised you, we haven't performed the master-apprenticeship ceremony yet. That is to say, you are still within my assessment period. If you don't perform well in this game, if I don't think you are qualified, I may refuse to accept you as a disciple."

Yi Qingchen looked anxious: "Don't, Pipi."

While speaking, the broadcast sound of the host came from the TV hanging on the wall.

Although it was in English, both small crew cuts could understand.

The host player Jack waited for his opponent in vain, won directly, and became the third runner-up in the 2019 World Cup Individual Tournament!

While the two were talking, people all over the world were waiting for Marta to appear.

Of course, even if Marta came, she probably wouldn't be able to participate, but would be taken away directly and investigated...

Jiang Xiao knew that Marta would not appear. At this time, she was sitting in the stone villa, dazed.

The organizer obviously also considered this issue. After all, Marta was taken away by members of the Hua Xing (chemical star) organization, so they also gave a backup plan.

Ten minutes later, after communication between the organizer and the national team, Jiang Xiao and Yi Qingchen were invited out of the changing room and started their pre-match warm-up directly, so that people all over the world would not have to wait.

The national team coaching team was still divided into two groups, three on the left and three on the right. Team leader Gong Juren was very good at dealing with people. He chose to become Yi Qingchen's coach and took Yi Qingchen to the west half of the court.

Yi Qingchen's choice of weapons was not surprising. It was nothing more than a giant blade.

But on Jiang Xiao's side, the coaching team was still carrying a big bag full of weapons. People were looking forward to what weapon Jiang Xiao would use to fight.

Until the last moment, who knows what kind of tricks Jiang Xiao would play?

In fact, Jiang Xiao had not made a final decision at this time, but he already had a tendency to choose.

Since he was going to become the master of Yi Qingchen's Fang Tian Hua Ji (halberd) lineage, Jiang Xiao should use Fang Tian Hua Ji.

As the two Chinese students appeared for the warm-up, the atmosphere became warm again.

Li Li: "The first time! The first time in the history of the World Cup that the championship battle comes from the same country, the same team! A Chinese civil war! And it's a support civil war!"

Ye Xunyang nodded and said, "Who would have thought that the last two standing on the top of the world to compete would be two medical supports?"

Half an hour of warm-up time gave the two hosts the opportunity to create momentum like crazy.

In the audience, Jiang Xiao also saw some familiar faces.

In an area in the front row, he saw his teammates, Wu Haoyang, Liu Yang, Zheng Xiyou, Piao Miao, Yao Chenguang, etc. He also saw some classmates and former opponents, Cai Yao, Qian Zhuang, You You Luming, etc.

If there were no accidents, no matter who won in a while, all the members of the individual competition would go on stage together as a team to receive the Star Warrior World Cup trophy.

Huh?

That is...

Jiang Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. It was all because that person's appearance was too outstanding. Even if she was hidden in a sea of red, he saw that long-lost figure.

Golden short hair, sunken eye sockets, blue eyes, thin lips, a mighty body, and an heroic face...

Miss Wu Yao!?

Jiang Xiao warmed up with high leg raises and ran over without leaving a trace.

As Jiang Xiao approached, the sound waves here became louder.

Jiang Xiao waved to the audience, and everyone misunderstood. The red color in this area suddenly boiled.

"Long time no see!" Jiang Xiao looked up and saw Wu Yao standing in the first row, which was very obstructive and somewhat blocked the view of the audience behind.

Wu Yao nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Tsk tsk..." Jiang Xiao looked left and right, and said, "White and fat, you're living a good life? What have you been doing recently?"

Wu Yao: "Walking around, looking around."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao was envious. She said before graduation that she was going to fulfill her dream and travel to every corner of the world.

Either die on the journey of dreams, or return to Da Meng Province in her old age, to that prairie, counting the stars and reminiscing about her life, and finally die under that starry sky.

This is a world-class Star Warrior shield, and also the sixth place in the team competition of the previous World Cup, Han Jiangxue's teammate, but she took a different path from everyone else.

Song Chunxi joined the Pioneer Army and has now been promoted to become the third head of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University - Pioneer Apprentice Army's coaching team.

He Xu stayed at school for graduate studies and will graduate next year. He should stay at school to teach.

Han Jiangxue is still leading this year's students to complete the unfinished goals of the previous year, leading the team to win the championship. And her future focus must be on the Night Watch Army.

In two years, the former fixed team has gone their separate ways.

With Jiang Xiao's arrival, the camera turned, and everyone watching in China also saw Wu Yao's figure.

I don't know if Song Chunxi and He Xu are watching the game, and I don't know how they will feel when they see this familiar figure.

Jiang Xiao said, "Don't leave after the game later, come to the changing room to celebrate, like last time."

Wu Yao leaned on the railing with both arms, looked down at Jiang Xiao, and said, "Are you sure you can win?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged and said, "Winning or losing is a Chinese champion. I'll drink champagne with you later, blow a bottle."

"Hahahaha." Wu Yao laughed heartily, habitually smoothed her light golden short hair, and her blue eyes lit up slightly, as if she had returned to her student days, "Okay."

Jiang Xiao clenched his fist and tiptoed, reaching upwards.

Wu Yao also clenched her fist, bent over, and tried her best to extend her arm, gently bumping her fist with Jiang Xiao's.

Jiang Xiao: "Are you dating?"

Wu Yao's face froze: ???

Jiang Xiao: "I have a friend, his alcohol capacity is okay, he can't compare to you, but his nicotine addiction is not small, you can have common topics with him."

Wu Yao's beautiful eyes suddenly turned into double pupils, with a little deterrence: "Since entering the venue, I have been holding it in for a few hours, do you have to remind me?"

Even the eyes are exactly the same, this is too perfect...

"Haha." Jiang Xiao laughed and retreated backwards.

"Hmph." Wu Yao looked at Jiang Xiao's mischievous little appearance, her stiff expression couldn't hold back, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You stinky brat, you're still so annoying."

Camera lenses were aimed here, and pictures were frozen.

In Muhei City, in the small hotel auditorium, Han Jiangxue looked at that familiar face, and a smile appeared on her face.

Along the way, there are still many people living in memory, I don't know where they all went.

...

The reserve name for this book has been determined as *Xing Lin* (星临).

If we want to use the form of *Jiu Xing xx* (九星xx) to name it, it is difficult to find a word to replace *Du Nai* (毒奶) that everyone can be satisfied with, so we can only jump out of the format.

*Xing Lin* means Star Warriors, Star Beasts, Star Beads, Star Skills descending into the world, and alien stars descending, and can also be regarded as Jiang Xiao's *Jiang Xing* (general star) descending into the world, which is a more appropriate and atmospheric name for this book. I hope everyone likes it.

In addition, I would like to emphasize again that this is a reserve name and will be used in some activities. The original name of this book, *Jiu Xing Du Nai*, will not be changed. Thank you for your suggestions and help.
