Chapter 116: Untitled

Jiang Xiao didn’t take the Star Bead. On one hand, it was because it was similar to his Star Technique and would also affect the enemy. If he wanted to make the effects apply to only himself, he would probably have to waste another star slot and acquire another relevant Star Technique. He had very few star slots, so he had to choose wisely.

On the other hand, it was because Jiang Xiao already had a better choice in mind.

Although he did not take the rare Star Bead, Han Jiangxue still accepted it nonetheless because of Jiang Xiao’s request. However, she planned to absorb it only after her abilities had been upgraded. After all, it would only be more likely for a Gold Quality Star Bead to be absorbed during the Galaxy Stage.

There were only three days left before the start of school. Jiang Xiao initially thought that the school holidays were the best thing on earth.

However, Han Jiangxue used her actions to show Jiang Xiao what a “mini table” was.

Jiang Xiao began to despise Xia Yan again because when they bade the Xia Family goodbye after the dinner that evening, Xia Yan shoved a book of mock tests to him.

Honestly speaking, the test questions were rather challenging and way more difficult than the exams that the Awakened had to sit for.

Since he chose that assessment book, he had to finish doing it.

It was Jiang Xiao’s fault for not choosing “The Evolution Of Devouring”.

Hmm…

In the past few days, Jiang Xiao had received a lot of concern from others via text messages. His former team members, the Zhu brothers, Yi Lianna, Liu Ke, and even Liu Bufan had sent their regards to him one after another. Jiang Xiao could not get used to it at all.

The Zhu brothers now sported flatter hairstyles and Yi Lianna had become much prettier, while Liu Ke seemed to have figured out plenty of things as she began training hard.

There were also plenty of people showing their concern about Jiang Xiao on his Weibo page, though he was unsure if it was because of Su Rou’s live-stream.

There were all sorts of symbols that included candles and messages praying for him to return safely.

Jiang Xiao wondered if he should feel touched or terrible.

After giving it some thought, he posted a selfie of him doing the practice questions and pretending to be hardworking, along with the caption:

Jiang Xiaopi-mischievous-or-not

I love learning. Learning makes me happy.

–

However, that Weibo post did almost nothing to comfort his fans and assure them that he was safe, and perhaps even caused public outrage. There were more and more candle emojis and the commenters seemed to be praying for him to live well.

…

Xia Yan’s comment had somehow made it to the top.

Hong Yan: “All you do is study. Is studying useful? Is studying going to bring you success?”

At the thought of this, Jiang Xiao closed the “Encyclopedia of Dimensional Spaces” book that he was holding onto. Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan agreed to try and breakthrough the Nebula Stage today.

Both of them seemed to have stagnated at the Nebula Stage for a long time and all they lacked was an opportunity for breaking through.

The mercenaries’ Star Beads would give the two of them a chance.

They decided to break through in Xia Yan’s backyard’s pleasant environment.

Of course, Jiang Xiao was interested in being a spectator. He only managed to advance and upgrade his Star Power using Skill Points and he wondered if that would result in any shocking effects for normal Awakened.

Would it attract lightning?

Would it be like a crossover?

Jiang Xiao was looking forward to it. Strictly speaking, he was at the stage of stagnation.

He was in the Stardust Stage Level 9, which should be considered the peak for ordinary Awakened.

One Skill Point would bring Jiang Xiao to the beginning of the Nebula Stage.

However, Jiang Xiao’s foundation was too weak. When he was in the snowfield, he was shrouded in Star Power when upgrading. Hence, he had exhausted all of his Star Power.

Although he was at the peak of the Stardust Stage on the surface, he couldn’t support such a high-level Star Power.

If he were to advance too far, he might get into trouble.

Jiang Xiao did not want that.

Hence, he wanted to suppress the progress of his advancement.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was just like a little squirrel who was elated about the 104 Skill Points in his pocket.

He had finally found the essence of life.

He had become a happy healer.

In the afternoon, Han Jiangxue took Jiang Xiao out after Xia Yan blew her mobile phone up with numerous calls. At the entrance of the estate, she saw Xia Yan in her Land Rover Discovery.

She looked extremely sluggish, leaning against the hood with her chestnut-colored hair slightly messed up. She was wearing a dark trench coat and looked just like a goddess.

Unfortunately, her gorgeous appearance and hot figure would be the only things that others noticed.

However, they wouldn’t know that she was a silly husky.

Xia Yan smiled at Han Jiangxue, ignoring Jiang Xiao completely.

In response, Jiang Xiao thought to himself, You’re pretending!

Go on!

Who was the one who replied to my Weibo immediately?

On the way home, Xia Yan suddenly struck a conversation. “By the way, Xiaopi.”

“Yeah?” Jiang Xiao asked while getting distracted by the passing scenery outside the car.

Xia Yan glanced at Jiang Xiao’s reflection in the rearview mirror and said, “When we go home later, let’s test your Gold Quality Green Glow out in the basement. I need to understand it.”

What’s there to understand?

However, the description of Jiang Xiao’s Green Glow had changed.

In the beginning, it was “Strongly strikes the enemy and increases damage to targeted spot, adds slight repelling effect.”

Now, it had become, “Added repelling effect” instead of “Slight”.

Although nothing else changed, Jiang Xiao could feel the increase in damage done by Green Glow.

“We’re a team. We need to know each other better. I want to experience the Gold Quality Green Glo’s effect. If it’s strong enough, maybe our team can have more combat strategies.” Xia Yan turned to look at Han Jiangxue seated in the passenger’s seat and asked, “What do you think?”

“Do you want him to be at the frontline?” Han Jiangxue asked with a frown.

Xia Yan shook her head and said, “That’s not necessary. After all, there are me and Li Weiyi in the team. A weak chicken like Jiang Xiao doesn’t have to do the job. However, as a Medical Awakened, he would naturally be the center of attention and the target of enemies.”

“Yeah, you make sense.” Han Jiangxue nodded in agreement.

“Why don’t you teach me how to use the sword?” Jiang Xiao asked while seated in the same position as he did when he mentioned the same topic previously.

This time, Xia Yan’s response was far from the previous one. She looked at Jiang Xiao in the rearview mirror and asked, “Do you really want to learn?”

“Is it possible to attach Green Glow to the sword? In addition, I have been to the snowfield several times and I still feel that it’s better to have a weapon. When my Green Glow was in Silver Quality, I had no choice but to kill the White Ghouls using a dagger.”

Upon hearing this, Han Jiangxue’s eyes became gloomy. Whenever she was reminded of Jiang Xiao going missing in the snowfield, she would recall the dangers he had to face and begin feeling guilty.

He was a Medical Awakened, after all.

Although Han Jiangxue wanted him to be all-rounded, he was, in fact, still far from being so. If he didn’t have any strong teammates by his side, Jiang Xiao really couldn’t do anything in the snowfield.

He truly had too little offensive skills.

“Don’t think about hot weapons in China, I’m looking for a suitable cold weapon. Daggers don’t seem like much. Your sword is very long, I think it’d give me an advantage against the creatures of other dimensions if I practice it well,” Jiang Xiao said while scratching his head.

“No problem, if you’d like to learn,” Xia Yan said while glancing at Han Jiangxue inquisitively.

“Look at the road.” Han Jiangxue said coldly and fell silent for a while. Once again, she said, “Sure.”

“I’ll teach you, then. Think about the sword being covered in Gold Quality Green Glow. It should have a wonderful effect. Even if you can’t break through the enemy’s defense, you can kill people with a flying stab. For you keeping a safe distance from the enemy is the mindset you should have.”

“But…” Xia Yan continued in a different tone, “You can learn, but my sword is a little radical. I’m afraid you will forget your identity.”

Radical?

You mean reckless?

Awesome!

My favorite!

I’m not going to be a toxic healer. I want to be a Reckless Healer!
