Chapter 138: Obtaining New Star Techniques!

Chapter 138: Obtaining New Star Techniques!

Everyone retreated and fought, and Xia Yan and Li Weiyi, in particular, were in sync. His shield and Xia Yan’s giant sword were both incredibly effective and powerful. With Han Jiangxue’s help, they managed to resist wave after wave of attacks.

Everyone in the team played an important role and the members built strong chemistry.

Han Jiangxue blasted away the savages swarming towards them time and time again, ensuring that only two or three savages were near Li Weiyi at any time while they fought painstakingly.

Jiang Xiao’s Blessing also deserved credit. Whenever the beam of light fell, the savages would be stunned and Xia Yan’s sword would be covered in blazing flames, coupled with the menacing Star Power. Whenever she swung her sword, a savage would be killed on the spot.

After a six-minute chasing battle, the attacks of the savages gradually decreased. Han Jiangxue could acutely sense that the savages were starting to flee as their companions died. Their attacks were no longer as firm and they seemed much less determined.

Jiang Xiao absorbed the last few White Ghoul Star Beads, which caused his Green Glow and Endurance to be upgraded to Gold Quality Lv.1 (46/100).

“Silver Quality Ten Kills” Skill Points also appeared in his internal Star Map.

If that were to go on, it would be difficult for the Star Power to be replenished again. Without the support of Star Power, it would be hard for Jiang Xiao to heal the wounds of his teammates.

Absorbing the Star Beads of the female Archer was also a feasible method, but Jiang Xiao had a better solution.

“Give me the corpse of the Savage Sorceress,” Jiang Xiao said to Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue froze for a moment and various thoughts flashed past her mind. The Star Techniques of the Savage Sorceress was indeed not too bad. Not only could they prolong the attacks, but they could also reduce the overall strength of the enemy.

After thinking about it, Han Jiangxue took the corpse of the Savage Sorceress and handed it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao whipped out the dagger that was attached to his waist—after a series of battles, he was no longer emotional about slaughtering those human-looking creatures.

The dagger was stabbed into the back of the Savage Sorceress’s head and Jiang Xiao took out a Star Bead from inside before discarding the corpse.

All of a sudden, several messages appeared in his head.

Ever since he found out about both the Savage Sorceress’s Star Techniques from the books he read, Jiang Xiao begun coveting them!

–

Savage Sorceress Star Bead (Silver Quality)

Star Technique:

Nostalgia: Halo Technique, allows units within the aura range to launch attacks with the effects of “Resentment” and absorb the enemies’ vitality and Star Power for their own replenishment. (Silver Quality, Upgradeable)

Dawn: Nostalgia Halo, favors and chases the glimmer of light of dawn. (Silver Quality, Upgradeable)

Would you like to absorb it together?

–

Dawn was rather interesting, just like Bell and Imprint.

Once the user activated the halo of Nostalgia, the halo would take effect on all targets within its range, regardless of whether they were enemies or not. All the targets would lose their Star Power and vitality while the user absorbed them all.

However, after Dawn was ignited on the bodies of the targets, Nostalgia halo would only “favor” and “chase” the targets that were attached to Dawn.

Jiang Xiao secretly rejoiced and thought to himself that Nostalgia was basically an upgraded version of Resentment. Not only did it have the same effects as Resentment, but it could also even allow the user to absorb the vitality and Star Power of the targets.

Besides, it was a halo technique that worked within a certain range!

The Star Techniques could be used for one’s own team. Similarly, if Jiang Xiao didn’t wish to share it with others, he could totally ignite it on himself. Even if there were plenty of people in his halo, he would be the only one enjoying its effects.

Without a doubt, the combination of Nostalgia and Dawn would be an all-rounded and perfect, upgraded version of Resentment.

The last star slot of the four star slots I’m allowed to fill up in the Stardust Stage shall be filled by you!

Jiang Xiao immediately absorbed the two Star Techniques together.

The fourth star slot in the Big Dipper Star Map was finally lit up.

When Jiang Xiao was getting ready to test the effects of the Star Techniques, he heard Xia Yan hollering in anger, “Hey! What are you doing? We were the ones who hunted them!”

Along the way, they had killed plenty of savages. If the corpses were to be taken away by other savages, Xia Yan wouldn’t have much of an opinion. However, another team actually appeared in the bushes.

Just like Jiang Xiao’s team, they were also wearing camouflage uniforms. Clearly, they were required to be dressed uniformly for admission. One of the men, who was bald and not wearing a camouflage cap, was squatting on the ground and cutting the skull of a savage skillfully.

Upon hearing Xia Yan’s words, the bald man turned around to look at her while she was surrounded by savages. He remained silent.

Han Jiangxue curled her finger and the bodies of the three savages flew out again. However, that fulfilled their wishes because they did not turn back to chase them, and instead, turned around to flee.

“I’m talking to you! The bald one! Don’t take our things!” Xia Yan shouted angrily.

The bald man obviously didn’t expect the battle to end so soon. When he saw them glowering at him from afar, he sneered and said, “Little greenhorns, I’m running out of Star Power and I need to replenish it.”

“Go hunt for yourself, then. Why are you stealing from others?” Xia Yan questioned as she stepped forward immediately.

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Weiyi frantically chased after them.

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly while Jiang Xiao advanced quickly.

Upon hearing the word “stealing”, the bald man who was in his forties or fifties, immediately grew displeased. He glared at them and said, “Killing a few savages is nothing to you guys.”

Xia Yan flew into a rage and said, “Claiming that a task is easy is what a giver would say, not a beggar who’s asking for help.”

The bald man stood up and glared at Xia Yan sullenly. He chastised. “Imp, are you trying to blow things out of proportion? It’s just the Star Bead of a savage.”

“Just a Star Bead of a savage? That’s also what a giver would say. Why are you trying to force others into being generous?” Xia Yan retorted while stomping her feet angrily.

“Lass, you’re young, but you’re rather feisty. Giver and beggar? Do you lack education and manners?” the bald man chided.

“You!” Xia Yan immediately picked up her sword.

All of a sudden, the four people on the opposite side also kept their guards up.

“Why? Do you want to try it? I’ll teach you a lesson on your father’s behalf,” the bald man said while absorbing all the Star Power in the Star Bead he had taken out of the savage’s skull.

Xia Yan was so infuriated that her chest moved up and down. Then, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

Finally, she had gotten some verbal aid!

Xia Yan swore that she had never liked Jiang Xiao’s mouth as much as she did now!

He seemed to have such a glib tongue…

Jiang Xiao said, “Bald guy, you’ve got great manners. Did your parents teach you to steal?”

The bald man’s face grew sullen. He was obviously angered by those words. “Kid, are you tired of living? Who do you think you’re talking to?”

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, “I’m talking about you, you don’t have to doubt it. Tell me what your name is and I’ll include your name when I scold you.”

The group of four opposite them had peculiar expressions on their faces. As adults of society, they had experienced all sorts of events and were all experienced.

Along the way, they had been following the trail of the savages and arrived here. However, they did not expect to see this group of savages fighting with another team of humans.

The bald man observed the situation in secret. He initially wanted to plot against them, but later on, he found out that the team of young people was rather competent and actually killed the savages.

After being useless for a long time, the bald man was feeling rather indignant. Hence, he decided to snatch the Star Beads immediately. He thought he could leave the team of young teens with no means to retaliate, but he did not expect them to be so angst and sharp-tongued.

Are they a bunch of greenhorns?

Or are they fierce and dauntless?

Are they really a bunch of kids who have just Awakened?

The bald man suddenly burst into laughter and Jiang Xiao almost thought that the man had gone berserk because of his scolding.

The bald man said, “You’re just a bunch of clueless and foolish greenhorns. You have just gone through a battle, so you guys must be severely injured and with low levels of Star Power. Are you sure you really want to fight us?”

The bald man sneered and walked towards the corpse of another savage while everyone watched, seemingly not at all bothered by the children whom he did not take seriously.

Jiang Xiao raised his arm abruptly.

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Bell!

Ring-ring-ring…

A bouncing beam of medical light was attached to Xia Yan’s body and it shuttled back and forth between the four people, rapidly healing their wounds.

The bald man’s face turned stiff and he slowed down.

Is he really so courageous?

Do they really want to fight?

Are they going to give up their lives for a few Star Beads?

Han Jiangxue said in a clear voice, “Prepare for war and defend.”

Huff…

Jiang Xiao raised his right fist.

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Nostalgia!

Within a radius of 20 meters, a dim golden halo suddenly lit up at the feet of the four people. A total of four small halos the size of tires of a large truck emerged.

Jiang Xiao unclenched his fist and moved his fingers in the air.

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Dawn!

A clock-like scale suddenly appeared in the halos beneath their feet, emitting a dim ray of golden light.

One of the scales suddenly turned into a bright gold color and rotated clockwise.

The bald man stopped in his tracks while walking to the second corpse, his face growing sullen.

Severely injured?

Low levels of Star Power?

He seemed to have seen the word “Continuation” written on Jiang Xiao’s body!
