Chapter 106: Person with Thick Flesh

Chapter 106: Person with Thick Flesh

“Hai Tianqing! Is that person destroying the Holy Ground?” Xia Yan shouted with extreme difficulty.

The magnificent scene was indeed rather terrifying.

“She is well aware. She won’t touch the space door,” Hai Tianqing said before yelling, “Second Last! Let us in!”

Standing at the end of the fire, Second Last spit out flames and turned her head to look at the team of people before continuing to put away the fire.

Behind the team of people was a White Ghoul that had been electrocuted, and countless more White Ghouls surged in. Everyone then finally rushed in.

Second Last raised her head and the flames rose again!

A beast-shaped Star Map was released and the gold star slots continued to shine.

Hai Tianqing didn’t say anything as his body also emitted a golden glow while an imaginary scepter was driven into the ground. However, this time, it was not a white healing scepter nor a blue lightning scepter.

The gemstone on the scepter turned out to be light yellow.

Jiang Xiao immediately sensed that something was wrong. This seems… to be a kind of Star Technique that helps to recover one’s body.

Why does it… feel so good?

No…

Jiang Xiao was immersed in the special taste, but he was pulled into another wonderful sensation again.

This seems to be a hug from someone.

How flat.

Is this Li Weiyi?

Due to the fact that the surroundings were extremely hot and full of the odor of cremated corpses, Jiang Xiao could not smell the familiar scent.

He turned his head towards the side slowly and finally saw Han Jiangxue’s side profile.

She seemed… to be very worried about him.

But then again, I’m wearing a mercenary uniform. How did she recognize me? he wondered.

On the other hand, Han Jiangxue also felt a tinge of pleasure when she hugged Jiang Xiao.

Her Burning Flame Star Technique would only protect her when she used it on her body. However, she was engulfed by an intense Star Power when she touched Jiang Xiao.

Is someone protecting me?

Who is it?

Who has the power and is in the mood to do that?

Is it that burning Second Last?

Han Jiangxue was stunned for a moment, but her joy of reuniting with Jiang Xiao was rather fleeting.

However, Han Jiangxue’s second-long excitement was something that Jiang Xiao could brag about for life.

“Good that you’re alive,” Han Jiangxue said while letting go of Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and nodded. “You’re right.”

“Let’s go out there.” Han Jiangxue ignored Jiang Xiao and turned to look at the cave opening that they entered from.

“She said that the bottom might be invaded by the enemies,” Jiang Xiao said in a moment of panic.

Han Jiangxue stared at Jiang Xiao coldly and said, “This is not a battle that you should be taking part in. None of us are qualified either.”

Slightly bewildered, Jiang Xiao asked, “Can we dash out?”

Jiang Xiao suddenly realized that the mud next to him had begun to flow.

“They’re coming up from here!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed as he frantically moved aside.

Hai Tianqing stared at the moving mud and kept his guard up. He said anxiously, “Don’t go in there. It’s their territory and they’re in control. We’ll only be seeking our own deaths.”

“Everywhere is their territory,” said that magma giant standing in the middle of the battlefield.

She spoke in a firm and descriptive tone.

Hai Tianqing ordered. “Continue using this Star Technique to stop the White Ghouls from entering. We’ll handle the rest.”

However, the flame vortex seemed to be disappearing quickly.

The lava flowing out of the magma giant landed on the ground with buzzing sounds. “You’re no longer my commander.”

Hai Tianqing’s eyes froze for a moment.

“We can only reap some benefits during the chaos with the presence of the White Ghouls. Since they can send their people to destroy the Holy Ground, they definitely aren’t simple mercenaries. They all have the same Star Techniques and clearly, they’ve been trained to be so. They have all been specially designed to perform a certain type of mission. Have you seen Captain?” Second Last asked while keeping her long and narrow eyes fixed on Hai Tianqing.

Hai Tianqing shook his head with a sullen expression and said, “He’s gone.”

Second Last stared at the flowing mud on the ground and said, “I hope he’s fighting the head of the mercenary corps and isn’t actually dead.”

While she spoke, Mud Hands rose from the ground and dispersed like snakes.

The enemy did not reveal his head to observe. It seemed that the enemies had planned to use the Mud Hands to destroy the White Ghouls in the Holy Ground.

Jiang Xiao retreated while bending forward to pick up a Star Bead, which he then shoved into his pocket.

The fire vortex had already killed the White Ghouls and cremated their corpses, but the Star Beads were still rotating in the vortex.

As the fire vortex faded, the shiny White Ghoul Star Beads were scattered all over the ground.

Han Jiangxue waved her hand and blew Jiang Xiao towards her team, seemingly having expected better from him.

Jiang Xiao crawled on the ground and grabbed a bunch of Star Beads before absorbing them without hesitating.

It was because he knew… that today was the day that the Star Technique Green Glow would be upgraded to Gold Quality!

After undergoing many battles and constantly absorbing White Ghoul Star Beads, Jiang Xiao’s Green Glow and Endurance had all been upgraded to Silver Quality (3/10). If nothing went wrong, he would be able to upgrade the quality after absorbing another 37 Star Beads.

Perhaps, he would need Gold Quality Green Glow during this battle.

Jiang Xiao noticed something serious.

Due to the fact that his Star Technique could be upgraded, the quality did not affect him much and there was no need for him to pursue the rare, high-quality Star Beads.

After he upgraded the quality, even a low-grade Star Technique would be able to provide miraculous effects.

Hence, Jiang Xiao had two factors to consider when choosing Star Beads to absorb.

Are the additional special effects of the Star Technique strong enough?

Whether the said Star Beads are easy to obtain or powerful enough.

Of course, if the quality of a Star Bead was extremely high and had special additional effects without requiring any upgrade, it would undoubtedly be the best.

However, it was difficult for Jiang Xiao to be exposed to such Star Beads at this moment.

He decided to stay grounded and look at his current Star Techniques. At this moment, the repelling effects of Green Glow were amazing.

By the time Endurance was upgraded to Platinum Quality or even Diamond Quality, could it compare to the Russian mercenary that had a steel body?

If it couldn’t, should he upgrade it again?

Look at the White Ghoul Star Beads on the ground!

As long as Jiang Xiao forged close ties with Second Last and stayed there for a few days, Green Glow and Endurance would probably be upgraded to Diamond Quality!

Wasn’t the level above the Diamond Quality unknown to humans?

After staying there for a few months, Jiang Xiao would let them know what a master-level Green Glow was like!

At least, he would be able to show everyone the ultimate Green Glow!

Regardless of how weak I may be and whether or not I can break your defense, I’ll be able to send you to the suburbs with one punch…

Want to get to work on time?

Want to head home immediately to play video games after school?

Want to catch your cheating spouse red-handed at the speed of lightning without getting discovered?

As long as your skin is thick enough, look for me and I’ll be willing to give you a hand!

I’ll punch you with Green Glow in my fist.
