Chapter 139: Flipping the Roof

Chapter 139: Flipping the Roof

The atmosphere was tense and it seemed that a war was on the verge of breaking.

Ring-ring-ring…

The crisp and sweet sounds of Bell suddenly filled the air and the light fell on Xia Yan’s body before shuttling through the four members of the team.

The sudden scene stopped both teams.

Another Medical Awakened?

Since when did the Medical Awakened become so numerous?

“What’s the matter?” Hai Tianqing walked out and glared at everyone sternly. He then kept his eyes fixed on Li Weiyi’s dim, golden halo for a while.

“Teacher, he’s snatching our Star Beads,” Xia Yan said in displeasure.

Teacher?

The team of four scrutinized Hai Tianqing and reckoned that he was about 28 or 29 years old and was rather competent since they addressed him as their teacher.

The bald man thought about it for a while and turned around to leave without saying anything.

The remaining three hurriedly caught up with him and they quickly disappeared.

Hai Tianqing walked towards them and looked at Han Jiangxue with an austere expression. “What does prepare for war and defend mean?”

“It literally means prepare for war and defend,” Han Jiangxue answered calmly.

Hai Tianqing asked, “You’ve just experienced a battle and you’re in a poor state. Are you sure this is a rational decision?”

Han Jiangxue stomped her feet. Although the halo beneath her feet gradually disappeared, it was obvious what she meant. She took a quick glance at Hai Tianqing and said, “I believe in my team. Besides, we have you, don’t we?”

“I won’t always be here. You’re better than everyone in school, but that doesn’t mean you’ll always be at the top of society. It’s time you stop being so arrogant,” Hai Tianqing said solemnly in a deep voice.

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, “If you weren’t around, I wouldn’t have given those commands. We’re very near to the supply point and my signal flare isn’t just for display. I can use other methods to avoid this battle.”

Hai Tianqing placed a hand on his forehead and thought, They’re rebelling!

These kids are getting out of hand.

You’re just a Year Three high school student. Must you be so domineering?

“That damned bunch of old fogies,” Xia Yan said in displeasure.

Han Jiangxue patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder and said, “You deserve to be beaten if you lag behind. All sorts of things will happen in Dimensional Spaces. What happened just now is a good example.”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Is Han Jiangxue trying to teach me based on a practical example?

Suddenly reminded of something, Xia Yan praised. “Xiaopi, well done. You did a great job at scolding.”

Before Jiang Xiao could even answer, Han Jiangxue grabbed the back of his head and stared at him. “This is a world where only the strongest survive. On Earth, our country has protected our personal safety to the greatest extent. However, no one is safe here and in any other Dimensional Space.

“If it weren’t for Hai Tianqing, they would have taken away all the Star Beads, and finally, our battle gains. They might even take the Star Beads in our skulls.

“We would be losing more than our battle gains and Star Beads. We would be losing our pride and dignity.” Han Jiangxue looked down at Jiang Xiao and said softly, “You must become strong, extremely strong.”

Jiang Xiao nodded gently, but he really wanted to try fighting those people. He knew how powerful his Blessing and Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher and Barren Wind were.

Li Weiyi suddenly said, “Xiaopi, were those halos from the Star Technique you just absorbed?”

Jiang Xiao said, “When we were fighting the savages just now, Han Jiangxue gave me the Savage Sorceress’s Star Bead. Fortunately, I managed to absorb it.”

While feeling surprised and delighted, Li Weiyi said, “Wonderful. With the existence of the Savage Sorceress, we dare not go against the savages at all. It’s great now that we have a Savage Sorceress in our team.”

“Firstly, I’m not a savage,” Jiang Xiao refuted while sticking a finger up. He continued, “Next, I’m not a Sorceress either.”

Upon hearing this news, Xia Yan was in a much better mood. She smiled and said, “Oh right, you’re a toxic healer. You’re going to be deadlier now. You’re going to turn us all into vampires and make us start absorbing the vitality and Star Power of the enemies.”

Li Weiyi said apprehensively, “That hollow halo eventually became a time scale in the end…”

“That’s why I said I was lucky. I can have two Star Techniques in one star slot!” Jiang Xiao pointed at his own eyes and said, “Look at my eyes.”

At this moment, Li Wei was a little dumbfounded, and he was all muddled up and overwhelmed by the massive amount of information. He glanced at Jiang Xiao foolishly.

Jiang Xiao said seriously, “You think I’m calm and composed, don’t you? No, this is two Star Techniques in one star slot! I have very few star slots in the first place, but I actually managed to acquire two Star Techniques from one Star Bead! My blood is boiling, my soul is almost leaving my body. I’m already high in my head… Ahem…”

Hai Tianqing was at a loss for words too.

Li Weiyi remained silent.

Xia Yan was speechless.

“Although I only have nine star slots, I can have two Star Techniques in each one! Heaven really is fair. He closed a door, but lifted the roof for me,” said Jiang Xiao, pompous and pretentious.

Hai Tianqing watched Jiang Xiao silently, thinking to himself, You’re making it as if your Bell doesn’t come with Imprint.

At the thought of it, Hai Tianqing took a deep breath and sighed while thinking to himself, This kid is really an extreme genius. His mysterious, spoon-shaped Star Map is extremely rare. Maybe, he has a certain sensitivity towards the Medical Star Techniques. He actually can have two Star Techniques in one star slot.

Hey, but then again, is Nostalgia considered a Medical Star Technique?

Does it draw vitality and Star Power from the opponents’ bodies?

Hmm, sort of, I guess.

Even if it’s not a Medical Star Technique, it’s definitely a supporting Star Technique that gravitates towards Medical ones.

“In China, we don’t believe in God,” Xia Yan said while chuckling and developing her own ideas. She thought, We should kill a few more Savage Sorceresses and obtain more Star Beads so that we can upgrade Xiaopi’s Nostalgia to Gold Quality. That will increase our team’s abilities greatly.

“Uh.” Jiang Xiao scratched his head and asked, “What do you believe in, then? The Celestial King? Or the Buddha?”

Clearly trying to change the subject, Xia Yan said, “I believe in Han Jiangxue.”

Han Jiangxue glared at Xia Yan coldly.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, “What a coincidence, me too…”

“You change your religious faith rather quickly.” Xia Yan gibed.

Jiang Xiao played along and continued to change the subject.

Appearing extremely smitten and infatuated, Jiang Xiao murmured, “Han Jiangxue, the light of my life and the fire that ignites my lust and desires. My sin, my soul.”

With a peculiar expression on her face, Xia Yan raised her head and thought, This mischievous toxic healer is getting out of hand.

A cold and aloof girl like Han Jiangxue is beautiful, fair, and has long legs…

Apart from the fact that she’s also flat-chested, how is she the same as a young Lolita?

“Gather your Star Beads and we’ll head to the supply point to get ourselves together,” Hai Tianqing interjected.

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, “Yeah, go back and take a break. With Xiaopi’s luck, I’ll try and absorb the Star Bead of the Savage Sorcerer.”

Xia Yan’s eyes lit up. Be it Corpse Spirit or Explosive Corpse, either of them would undoubtedly increase the strength of the team if Han Jiangxue could acquire them.

The rest picked up the Star Beads and even Hai Tianqing joined in to help them.

However, Han Jiangxue kept her eyes fixed on Jiang Xiao. After some hesitation, she walked towards him and asked, “Was I being too harsh with my words just now?”

“Huh?” While cutting the corpse of the savage swordsman, Jiang Xiao turned around and looked up. “No, you’re right. I’ve been keeping your words in mind.”

Han Jiangxue bent her knees slightly and rubbed Jiang Xiao’s head with one hand. “I really like your attitude and your support for the teammates, but I don’t support the approach you took just now. We have to learn to recognize the situation.”

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, “Isn’t Hai Tianqing here? I’m not giving advice in hindsight. I knew that there was someone to support us from the Guardians Of The Night.”

Han Jiangxue rolled her eyes at him.

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, “I’m indeed a little conceited. I keep thinking that I can pull some fancy tricks with my Blessing and your Sky Smasher.”

Once Sky Smasher was involved, victory and defeat would come with the loss of lives.

No one could survive in the Sky Smasher.

Han Jiangxue glanced at Jiang Xiao whose hands were stained with blood, seemingly having understood what he meant.

She asked gently, “Have you gotten used to killing?”

Jiang Xiao shrugged his bloodstained hand and said, “When facing robbers like that bald man, everything we do, be it kidnap, robbery, rape, or even murder will be considered self-defense.”

Han Jiangxue smiled a little, seemingly pleased with Jiang Xiao’s non-academic language. It turned out that he didn’t like psychology, but law?

Han Jiangxue said softly, “Just like what I said just now, the law sometimes doesn’t apply in Dimensional Spaces.”

“Patter!”

Jiang Xiao snapped and the blood flowing from his fingers landed on his face. He pointed at Han Jiangxue and nodded gently.

He seemed to be in awe of Han Jiangxue and impressed by the fact that she had gotten the main point.

Han Jiangxue froze for a moment in shock before laughing silently.

A few months ago, she would have never imagined the two of them to have such a conversation or interaction.

She glanced at Jiang Xiao emotionally and thought, While he’s getting increasingly stronger and powerful, his thoughts become more meticulous and he’s gradually becoming independent too. Indeed, he has grown up.
