Chapter 164 The Mammoth

In the afternoon, Yi Qingchen engaged in a fierce competition with Andrei Phil from the Sulan region of the Kingdom of the Setting Sun, vying for a spot in the top four.

Andrei Phil's greatsword skills were quite impressive, and the flames surrounding him were dazzling, but Yi Qingchen and her Shadow Master used Silence and Blessing to subdue him.

The scene wasn't exactly one-sided, but Yi Qingchen had the upper hand, which made Jiang Xiao nod repeatedly.

"Indeed, a buzz cut is the symbol of a tough guy!" Jiang Xiao crossed his arms and looked at the TV on the wall, sighing with emotion.

While Jiang Xiao was equating "Yi Qingchen" with "tough guy" here, Jiang Xiao on the alien planet was also experiencing an interesting "interview."

Alien planet, Central Plains.

"Hello there, big guy." Jiang Xiao was in a stone city with forests of stones, looking like ruins. He held a piece of pitch-black meat in his hand, greeting a pitch-black Ruishou (mythical auspicious beast) in the distance.

The Ruishou seemed to have been carved from the same mold. It was clearly a platinum-level pet, but it was very shy.

The huge head peeked out from behind a giant rock, looking at Jiang Xiao with one eye, seeming to think it was well hidden, but...

Jiang Xiao threw the meat at it and muttered, "What's the point of hiding? Don't you know how big your head is?"

He Yun: "Cough, cough, cough..."

He Yun was still trying to recruit his own Ruishou when he suddenly heard Jiang Xiao say this. He couldn't catch his breath and seemed to have choked on his own saliva.

In front of He Yun, the white jade Ruishou was startled and quickly ran away.

"Little friend," He Yun turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiao with an unfriendly expression. "It took me a lot of effort to find one that was white jade, with no stray hairs!"

Jiang Xiao: ???

You can blame me for that?

Jiang Xiao helplessly grinned and said, "They may be timid, but they're also curious. Just wait a moment, and your white jade lion will turn around and come back."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao turned his head to look at the Ruishou hiding behind the giant rock, only to find that it had already come out, trying hard to lower its head and snatch the half piece of black meat.

This meat was the meat of a Star Ghost from the Central Plains.

On Earth, the other-dimensional space where Star Ghosts lived was called the Star Cave, which contained three kinds of creatures: Star Demons, Star Spirits, and Star Ghosts.

Jiang Xiao could also use Ruishou meat to lure Ruishou, but... well, Jiang Xiao always felt that he should act like a human being.

"Master."

"Master." A series of voices rang out. Jiang Xiao threw another piece of meat forward before turning to look.

He saw four ghost face monks with silver eyes riding back on Mo Yu (black jade) Ruishou.

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Behind the four silver monks, the four golden monks also dismounted from their Mo Yu Ruishou, clasped their fists, bowed their heads, and saluted Jiang Xiao.

It seemed that the Ghost Monk clan was very low-key. In this huge Night City, the skins of the Ruishou were colorful, enough to dazzle anyone, but these eight monks all chose pitch-black Ruishou.

"Why are you guys so fast? Do you have any secrets to luring Ruishou?" Jiang Xiao asked curiously.

Yin Yun stepped forward and said, "Master, they can't understand what you say, but they can understand our words."

Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned and said, "Your languages are mutually intelligible? You guys just howl like ghosts, and the Ruishou can understand?"

Yin Yun nodded and said, "Yes, in this Central Plains, we can communicate normally with other intelligent creatures. Further out... at least we can't communicate with the desperadoes of the Yan Zhao area."

Jiang Xiao thoughtfully nodded, pointed to the Mo Yu Ruishou in the distance that wanted to leave but also wanted to continue eating the meat, and said, "Tell it, if it follows me, it'll have good food and drinks!"

Yin Yun clasped his fists and bowed his head, looking like a true human disciple, such humility was rare among the Ghost Monk clan.

Probably only Jiang Xiao's disciples were like this.

Jiang Xiao followed beside Yin Yun, listening to Yin Yun's hoarse voice and the howls of the Mo Yu Ruishou.

Jiang Xiao was secretly delighted. Don't underestimate the shy and cute personality of the Ruishou, but its roar was worthy of its mighty image!

It sounded very comfortable, similar to the roar of a lion.

Jiang Xiao nudged Yin Yun's waist with his shoulder and said, "Tell it that there's plenty of food and drinks! The people of Bei Jiang are just that enthusiastic."

"Hehe, Jiang Tuan (team) has alcohol?" Yue Yuchen, also riding a Mo Yu Ruishou, returned and looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile.

But Yue Yuchen's riding posture was a bit strange. The huge size of the Ghost Monk clan allowed them to look forward over the Ruishou's huge head, but for humans...

When humans rode on the Ruishou, all their sight would be blocked by the Ruishou's big head, so Yue Yuchen was leaning sideways and poking her head out to talk to Jiang Xiao.

"Yo? It seems that our team's aesthetic standards are very consistent!" Jiang Xiao smiled as he looked at the Mo Yu Ruishou under Yue Yuchen.

Jiang Xiao turned around and glanced at the old man in the stone formation in the distance: "You should pick that white jade Ruishou. You're the most conspicuous in the whole team. Anyone who sees our team will focus fire on you first."

He Yun seriously thought about Jiang Xiao's words and couldn't help but nod, saying, "Seems like that's the logic."

Jiang Xiao was about to say something when he noticed the Ruishou in front of him walking over with its short legs.

The closer it got, the more Jiang Xiao admired it.

This Ruishou was at least three meters tall at the shoulder, and its head, tilted 45 degrees towards the sky, was probably close to three and a half meters.

Such a majestic body, but the "chassis" was a bit low, and its strong limbs immediately turned into short legs...

The head, like a Chinese lion dance prop, was pitch-black as ink, lacking a bit of flamboyance but full of style.

What excited Jiang Xiao even more was its fluffy body. He didn't know how it grew like that. If you didn't touch it, you would really think it was made of jade.

Jiang Xiao quickly took out another piece of meat from his bag and threw it over.

The Ruishou's normal posture was to look up, which made it very suitable for being "fed."

It let out a "woo" and ate the meat in one bite.

It didn't even chew, it just swallowed it directly!

Jiang Xiao shivered, straightened the raincoat he was wearing, and pressed down the brim of his bamboo hat, looking like he was going on stage to receive an award.

After tidying up his attire, Jiang Xiao stepped forward, leaped up, and sat down on the Mo Yu Ruishou.

Wow!

So soft, so warm.

Soft and fluffy, Jiang Xiao stroked the Ruishou's fur, moved his butt forward, and tried to reach out and touch the Ruishou's horns, but... um, why are my hands so short?

The Mo Yu Ruishou seemed to know what Jiang Xiao wanted to do. It tried to turn its big head and handed over the thick, long, forked pitch-black horns.

"This is too docile, right? On Earth, when people mention Ruishou, the first two words that come to mind are 'brutal.'" Jiang Xiao secretly sighed, gently stroking the Ruishou's horns.

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, the Ruishou seemed to like this interaction.

"Woo~" The Mo Yu Ruishou whimpered, and its huge eyes narrowed, tilting its head back and swaying slightly, looking quite enjoying.

Jiang Xiao suddenly had a mischievous thought and squeezed its horns hard: "Let you act cute!"

"Woo~" The Mo Yu Ruishou shook its head, almost throwing Jiang Xiao off...

Ruishou's Star Techniques were mostly auxiliary Star Techniques, very suitable for serving as mounts.

Its first Star Technique was to assist itself, and its second Star Technique was to assist others. As for its third Star Technique, it gave it a certain degree of offensive ability.

Ruishou Star Bead's three Star Techniques:

1. Auspicious: Increases the duration of positive statuses on oneself. Passive Star Technique, no need to activate it actively. (Silver Quality)
2. As You Wish: Reduces the duration of negative statuses on the target. (Silver Quality)
3. Lucky Star Brocade: Attaches a Lucky Star Brocade to the target. Each time it suffers any form of Star Technique attack, it will store a small portion of the Star Power from the enemy's Star Technique.

When the stored Star Power reaches a certain level, it passively releases a pure Star Power shockwave to surrounding targets. (Silver Quality)

These were the Star Bead Star Techniques of a golden-level Star Beast on Earth, but in this alien planet, as a platinum-level Star Beast, its Star Techniques would probably be 1~2 levels higher.

Jiang Xiao's main body was not here and could not determine the quality of the Ruishou's Star Techniques by killing and obtaining the Ruishou Star Beads.

But Yue Yuchen, who was very experienced, believed that the Ruishou here had "Auspicious" and "As You Wish" at the gold level, and "Lucky Star Brocade" was at the platinum level.

Yue Yuchen and Li Hoge had raised Ruishou for a long time and had been stationed in the Central Plains for so long, Jiang Xiao had no reason not to trust him.

Under the Ghost Monk clan's negotiation and the lure of meat, everyone had their own mounts.

Senior He Yun was also persuaded by Jiang Xiao to come back. A group of 12 people all had their own mounts, and they were all huge Mo Yu Ruishou, exceptionally brave.

Jiang Xiao on the alien planet led the team, recruited troops, and headed towards Yan Zhao, never looking back.

And Jiang Xiao on Earth had a happy smile on his face as he watched Yi Qingchen take a bow and leave the stage on the TV screen.

In the live Chinese commentary booth, Li Li excitedly shouted, "Top four! The Chinese legion has added another seat! He deserves to be a Star Warrior from Central Plains Star Warrior University! He deserves to be called a disciple of Jiu Xing Du Nai (Nine Star Poisonous Milk)! He deserves to be Yi Qingchen!"

Ye Xunyang said with a smile, "Who would have thought that in the 2019 World Cup, there would be two Chinese players in the top four of the individual competition?

Xiao Pi and Yi Qingchen are launching an attack on the individual championship! And the Beijing Star Warrior and Xiangnan Military Academy in the team competition next door are also making steady progress towards the throne of the champion!"

Li Li said with emotion, "We all thought that the Chinese double championship in the team and individual competitions in 2017 was unprecedented and would never be repeated!

We all thought that 2017 was the peak of Chinese Star Warrior! Now, audience friends, look at this 2019! Tell me, what you dream of in your minds is the same thing as I do, right?"

Ye Xunyang bit her lip and said quite emotionally, "Thank you to the Chinese Star Warriors for shining our dreams into reality..."

After accepting the interview, Yi Qingchen teleported directly back to the locker room.

But she found that Jiang Xiao was standing behind the door, seemingly planning to play a prank, waiting for Yi Qingchen to open the door and jump out to scare her.

However, the situation at this time...

Jiang Xiao behind the door scratched his head.

Yi Qingchen, standing in the center of the locker room, also scratched her head.

The two buzz cuts looked at each other, and for a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Um..." Yi Qingchen pondered for a moment, and her body flashed, disappearing without a trace.

The next moment, beside Jiang Xiao, the locker room door was opened, and Yi Qingchen pushed the door and walked in.

Jiang Xiao: ???

He grinned awkwardly, so, um... so cooperative with me?

Jiang Xiao suddenly took a step and jumped out from behind the door: "Hey!"

Yi Qingchen pretended to be scared and quickly took a step to the side: "Ah!"

Jiang Xiao nodded, worthy of being my beloved disciple!

At this moment, only two words can describe the teacher's mood: happiness!
