“I was wondering why that figure looked so familiar. She was a member of the previous World Cup team competition, the shield warrior from our Huaxia-Imperial Capital Star Martial University, Wu Yao!” Li Li quickly introduced the girl who was chatting and laughing with Jiang Xiao.

Ye Xunyang said with emotion, “Yes, Wu Yao. Two years ago, her team won sixth place in the World Cup, and her teammate Han Jiangxue is still fighting on the World Cup stage.”

Li Li suddenly said, “Oh? The referee has blown the whistle, the match is about to begin! What kind of weapon will Jiang Xiaopi choose? He chose… a Fangtian Halberd!”

“Huh?” Ye Xunyang said in confusion, “Yi Qingchen has changed a bit. She picked up dual great blades! Has she learned how to use dual great blades from Xiao Pi? You know, she has always used a single great blade in previous matches!”

Li Li, of course, didn’t know the specifics and simply said, “Entering the pre-match communication phase! Let’s listen to what the two have to say?”

Ye Xunyang covered her mouth and chuckled, “According to reliable sources, the two share a rest room. Whatever they need to say, they probably already said it in the rest room, right?”

Jiang Xiao stood in the western half of the field, looking curiously at Yi Qingchen and the two great blades in her hands, and said, “What’s this? A surprise?”

Yi Qingchen carried one of the great blades behind her and smiled, “Be careful~”

Jiang Xiao blinked. Is this girl… playing some kind of trick on me?

The two had fought once during the national team trials, but it was just a small skirmish. Yi Qingchen didn’t use too many of her star techniques.

As teammates, they were both familiar with each other’s star technique lists. At least, Jiang Xiao was very familiar with her star techniques, which had very distinct regional characteristics, mostly from the Central Plains Province, and also a platinum-level divine pet.

The Central Plains has always produced agile warriors, and the star techniques of the Ghost Monk clan and the Star Beast clan (Star Beasts in a narrow sense, referring to star demons, star ghosts, etc. in the other-dimensional space of the Central Plains Star Cave) are all considered combat-type auxiliary star techniques, which are very practical.

Jiang Xiao twirled the Fangtian Halberd in his hand, his eyes slightly red, and began to activate the Tearful Rain series of star techniques.

At this moment, a message suddenly came from his Inner Vision Star Chart.

“Bow and Arrow Mastery upgraded! Gold quality Lv.6!”

Uh…

It seems that the confrontation between the Gardener Pi and the Practice Partner Pi is still very valuable. After “Bow and Arrow Mastery” reaches platinum quality, Jiang Xiao should be able to summon the Withered Bow, right?

After the World Cup, it’s time to prepare the Star Beads for the Bow and Arrow Star Chart.

I wonder what kind of Star Bead will be rewarded for this World Cup?

The two on the field remained silent, but the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly heated.

After a brief five-minute pre-match communication phase, the referee shifted his gaze from his watch and looked at the two in turn, “Are both students ready!?”

Jiang Xiao looked up at the clouds in the sky and then nodded.

Yi Qingchen also nodded, and the referee immediately blew the whistle, “Beep beep! The match begins!”

The light rain began to fall, and the figures of the two disappeared at the same time!

“Ah!?”

“I knew it, these two have the same style!”

“Too cool! I wish I had teleportation, so I could sneak attack widows… um…”

On the green field,

Jiang Xiao, holding the Fangtian Halberd, appeared directly in Yi Qingchen’s location, while Yi Qingchen also flickered, but appeared at the corner kick position on her own right side.

With a simple action, everyone could see who was attacking and who was defending.

A shadow suddenly appeared beside Yi Qingchen, and then Yi Qingchen flickered away again.

Within the Domain of Tears, Jiang Xiao discovered that Yi Qingchen had flickered to the corner kick position in the western half of the field. Was she trying to distance herself from him?

He saw Yi Qingchen suddenly raise her hand. Jiang Xiao was startled and quickly flickered away. Whether she summoned a blessing or threw out Silence, Jiang Xiao didn’t want to be hit.

What Jiang Xiao didn’t expect was that Yi Qingchen actually summoned a star, descending from the sky…

Jiang Xiao grinned and waved his hand. A beam of blessing light fell down, directly enveloping the star descending from the sky.

The star fell from the sky, very fast.

But the blessing light was even faster.

It could be seen that Yi Qingchen wanted to increase her speed. She possessed the Red Starfall star technique of the Star Spirit creature. After pouring the star into her body, it could increase certain speed and agility attributes.

But would Jiang Xiao let her succeed?

Yi Qingchen also subconsciously dodged, not only avoiding the blessing light but also avoiding the white star that was falling down.

The three types of Star Beasts in the Star Cave – Star Spirits, Star Ghosts, and Star Fiends – each have different summoning star techniques, but in terms of external manifestation, the colors of the six types of stars are all white light. Therefore, whether it is a teammate or an opponent, before the star falls into the human body, it is impossible to determine which type of star the user summoned.

But Jiang Xiao, who was familiar with Yi Qingchen, knew very well that it must be a Red Starfall!

Because Yi Qingchen only had four Starfall star techniques:

The Star Fiend’s White Starfall (healing), Blue Starfall (restoring star power),

The Star Ghost’s Black Starfall (striking the target), and the Star Spirit’s Red Starfall (increasing speed).

The match had just begun. She didn’t need to recover herself, let alone hurt herself. In other words, she must be using Red Starfall to increase her speed.

Yi Qingchen was very unwilling and flickered to another corner kick point, summoning another star!

Jiang Xiao raised his hand sharply. Yi Qingchen was startled and felt very helpless. Her body’s subconscious reaction was to dodge.

But Jiang Xiao… just simply raised his hand without summoning a blessing. In fact, he teleported directly to the Starfall location.

Swish…

The star descending from the sky poured directly into Jiang Xiao’s body, making Jiang Xiao feel his body lighter.

Yi Qingchen: “…”

Li Li commented, “Oh ho! After several rounds of opening, several gambits, it seems that Jiang Xiaopi has gained the upper hand!”

Ye Xunyang chuckled, “You have to be very careful when fighting against Xiao Pi, otherwise you can easily be tricked by this little poison milk. It seems that Yi Qingchen has increased the physical attributes of her opponent.” (Jiu Xing Du Nai)

Yi Qingchen looked at Jiang Xiao with resentment in her eyes, and for a moment, she didn’t move.

A spinning red star quickly appeared on Jiang Xiao’s body. He raised his battle halberd and pointed it at Yi Qingchen, “Qingchen… there are bad people.”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao’s body suddenly swayed, and a beam of blessing light brushed his shoulder and fell down.

At the back corner of the other half of the field, Yi Qingchen’s Shadow Master began to exert its power.

Yi Qingchen’s eyes narrowed and instantly turned pitch black.

At this time, her big eyes no longer had any white areas, becoming completely black, even the pupils disappeared.

At that moment, Jiang Xiao’s entire world changed.

Under his feet was still the green field, but the audience stands in all directions had turned into a night sky, with twinkling stars hanging in it, like the distant stars in the deep night sky.

Central Plains·Night City·Double Night Mandarin Star Technique: Night Curtain·Creates a pitch-black night curtain with twinkling stars, confusing the sense of direction. (Silver Quality)

The moment Jiang Xiao’s eyes met Yi Qingchen’s, his heart trembled fiercely.

Although this degree of heart trembling was not as effective as the pupil technique star technique of Hua Xing·Leianna, it was considered very qualified.

Central Plains·Night City·Double Night Mandarin Star Technique: Night Eye·Night vision ability, sees through illusions and unnatural darkness, can give those who meet the eyes a mental shock. (Gold Quality)

Ding~

A bell rang against his chest. Under the cleansing tears, the night sky in all directions of Jiang Xiao instantly disappeared.

Yi Qingchen suddenly appeared behind Jiang Xiao, slashing at him with a blade!

Clang!

Jiang Xiao’s body swayed abruptly, dodging a Shadow Master’s blessing. At the same time, he raised the Fangtian Halberd in his hand and collided with the great blade behind him.

However, Jiang Xiao’s resistance was not brute force, but instead, he sent the great blade that Yi Qingchen had slashed with directly to the ground.

Bang!

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes, not daring to look into Yi Qingchen’s eyes at all. He raised his right foot, and a green light appeared on the sole of his shoe, kicking directly at Yi Qingchen’s chest.

Bang!

A red glow suddenly surged in front of Yi Qingchen’s chest. She wasn’t afraid of Jiang Xiao’s attack at all, but instead, she pushed up against it!

The two were sent flying eight meters away.

Each a beam of blessing light fell, and the two almost teleported away at the same time, avoiding each other’s blessings.

From this moment on, the two completely transformed into ghost shadows, teleporting one after another. All that was left in the field were the fleeting figures of the two.

When they appeared, there were only fighting actions, and there was no movement, as if no one was willing to walk, relying entirely on the void of space-time to teleport frantically!

This time, people weren’t watching with fascination, but with a bewildered look!

“E…” Li Li turned his head to look at Ye Xunyang and said awkwardly, “This kind of match scene reminds me of the scene where Xiao Pi played against Saito Nobuyuki in the previous competition.”

“Mm-hmm.” Ye Xunyang nodded repeatedly, “That match was also full of cherry blossoms and light rain, the picture was very beautiful. This one…”

Li Li was also a little embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain, “Apart from Yi Qingchen’s Shadow Master being on the sidelines, we can only hear the sound of weapons intertwined! Tsk tsk… look at this picture, how shocking!”

Listening to the commentators finding something to say, there were also piles of frantic barrages on the online live broadcast platform:

“These are really two experts who rarely show themselves! We mortals are not worthy to watch this game…”

“No, you can show off, show off as much as you want, I like to watch it, the key is that you have to let me see it… I skipped work this afternoon just to watch it rain on the football field?”

“These two people, damn, can’t even the camera capture them? In the current situation, no one would notice if they secretly kissed, right?”

“Shocking! The champions and runners-up of the 2019 competition are actually doing shameful things in broad daylight, under the gaze of the people of the world!”

“Stop talking, my brother-in-law will be down with Little Little Pi in a while. I’m going to buy some supplements for my sister-in-law. You guys chat first, I’m going shopping first…”
