Chapter 288: Change 

It took a long time for them to stop cheering.

Although they were all experienced Awakened students, they were still teenagers, after all. How could they be as calm as the older students?

Even the older Awakened in the Nebula Stage would jump for joy and rejoice if they were to annihilate the group of Ancient Warriors led by the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior, what more high school students.

They quickly put the Star Beads away, after which the problem surfaced.

When facing a strong enemy, they could temporarily set aside other factors and fight it together.

However, now that the enemy had been eliminated, they had to face the issue of reward distribution.

The issue was not to be underestimated. If it wasn’t handled properly, it could completely cause the team that was originally close-knit to break up.

Everyone remained silent and decided to occupy the Ancient Warriors’ resting point where the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior led them from.

According to normal situations, the Ancient Warriors always moved around in squads, and there was no such thing as ethnic unity. As long as they saw another squad, they would definitely get into a conflict.

The team led by the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior was extremely powerful. Hence, they reckoned that no other Ancient Warriors should seek trouble with them while they rested.

The three crocheted stone walls seemed to act as partitions and created a “room” for them. When they were recovering their physical states and Star Power, they also soothed their senses.

Xiong Chumo held onto a bunch of light blue flowers in full bloom, while the alluring fragrance filled the air in the room created by the stone walls. Their Star Power slowly recovered, and it was definitely a double enjoyment for their souls and bodies.

Han Jiangxue finally broke the silence. After such a long time, she finally confirmed that the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior had already died, and thus, activated Sky Smasher. She then dragged the corpse of the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior out.

The Ancient Warriors look like zombies, but they aren’t actually zombies. Instead, they are creatures of other dimensions that can’t survive in the Sky Smasher. 

But then again, can real zombies survive in the Sky Smasher? 

Jiang Xiao didn’t know, because things like zombies only appeared in movies and television dramas. He had never seen them in real life before.

Han Jiangxue’s actions attracted everyone’s attention. The Soul Of The Ancient Warrior was worth the most in the entire Ancient Imperial Mausoleum. It was worth more than 80 points.

Each of the eight underlings led by the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior was only worth 10 points, and when added together, they were worth the same number of points as the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior.

Han Jiangxue placed the corpse of the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior on the ground and took a step back to return to Jiang Xiao’s side. She then said to the representative team of Cainan Province, “According to the rules, the Star Beads of the Ancient Warriors are yours.”

After she said those words, Qi Yan, the Rules Awakened, and Bai Yipeng, the Shield Warrior from the Cainan Province team, couldn’t help but have a better impression of her!

Xiong Chumo was slightly agitated, and her face turned red in slight embarrassment.

Logically speaking, Han Jiangxue was the commander with full authority during the battle just now. Although there was a small episode in the middle (the outbreak of the Arrows Of Plague), Han Jiangxue’s overall commanding and assignment of tasks were clear. She led them to defeat the Ancient Warriors.

As the commander, she undoubtedly deserved the most credit for their victory.

Not to mention, she was the one who killed the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior while Jiang Xiao was the one controlling it. In this battle, Han Jiangxue’s team contributed the most.

Although the Shield Warrior Bai Yipeng performed brilliantly during the battle, he wasn’t strong enough to take the lead, and the other members of his team did not perform as well.

“Let’s split them according to contributions,” Xiong Chumo feebly said while turning slightly red.

When Jiang Xiao heard this, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and think to himself, This group of students from Cainan is not only unrestrained… and romantic, but they also seem to be very particular?

“Rules are rules. If you don’t follow them, there will be no need to set them.” Han Jiangxue shook her head and continued, “This is a Dimensional Space with harsh conditions. The only thing that supports us is our moral restraint. And…”

Han Jiangxue stretched out her index finger and tapped the headband on her forehead gently. “This little camera.”

She looked at everyone coldly and said calmly, “Besides, for some teams, this camera won’t play any part in restraining them.”

If Xiong Chumo were a selfish person, there wouldn’t be such an issue.

Besides, Han Jiangxue didn’t care about their interests, nor was she kindhearted. She merely needed that system to continue to operate effectively.

With the alliance, everyone’s life had additional insurance. Although scoring points was important, their lives were much more important.

Or maybe, everything was just Han Jiangxue’s reward for Bai Yipeng, the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province?

Was she trying to reward him for protecting Xiaopi well?

Xiong Chumo said, “Then I suggest that we change the distribution system and distribute the rewards according to contributions.”

On the other hand, the members of the Tianjin team had other thoughts in mind.

They were fundamentally different from other teams. They were very strong!

To be precise, the team from Tianjin Southern High School was highly competent and strong to the extent that they could fight the enemies alone and make it to the semi-finals.

Why did they form an alliance with the team from Beijiang?

On the one hand, it was so that they could have a feel of the dark horse’s strength. They had long been concerned about this emerging team, and they did not believe in the judgment and prediction of the media. They had their own analysis and evaluation.

For the teams that were known to be stronger, the team from Tianjin Southern High School conducted thorough research and analysis, and they also formed their own judgments about the team from Beijiang High School.

They were very likely to encounter Jiang Xiao’s team during the semi-finals! Hence, the team from Tianjin wanted more information about them.

On the other hand, the team representing Tianjin had also given them some assurance. As an elite team, they didn’t want any accidents in the preliminary round.

With Jiangbin High School by their side, they could definitely slack a little when facing the Gold Quality Boss-level team or the other schools’ teams.

However, the situation now was a bit more complicated.

Liu Yang and Cai Yao secretly looked at each other, and they could see the complex emotions in each other’s eyes.

Without a doubt, Jiangbin High School was a dark horse.

Not only had their nickname been established, but they had also begun to violate the interests of the team from Tianjin.

They already knew that the dark horse, Jiangbin High School, was a bunch of powerhouses, with a true “god” amongst them.

As the commander, Han Jiangxue had exceeded the level of ordinary participants in terms of commanding, combat, forming battle tactics, and execution.

The so-called “ordinary students” were actually all true elites, and yet, Han Jiangxue still dominated and stood out amongst them. That was enough to explain many problems.

If the rewards were allocated according to the contribution, Jiangbin High School would definitely be ranked before the teams of Tianjin and Cainan Province.

There were only eight places in the semi-finals, and the overall strength of the team representing Tianjin was enough for them to breakthrough. However, they had to stand in front of the great team of elites from Beijing and salute to them!

Undoubtedly, such an ambitious and powerful team would definitely not succumb to others.

Cai Yao originally thought that she was leading the other two provinces, but due to Han Jiangxue’s powerful capabilities, she had been overwhelmed by the latter. If Han Jiangxue were just a “warrior,” it wouldn’t be too bad. However, the key thing was that she was a commander.

This also directly caused the leader of the Tianjin team to step down. That was a huge problem!

Seeing Liu Yang walk over, Cai Yao said softly, “I know what you’re thinking. If she’s willing to abide by the rules, the weapons on this level will belong to Beijiang High School while the weapons on the next level will go to us. Once we get the weapon of the next level, we’ll propose to leave the alliance.”

Liu Yang nodded without hesitation and said, “This team is really strong, especially this girl. Ah~”

Cai Yao smiled and shook her head. She said calmly, “We almost became their workers. Haha. But let’s part properly. I suggest that we give the Star Beads to the team from Cainan Province this time. Let’s not raise objections.”

Liu Yang expressed assent and agreed with Cai Yao’s suggestion. He fiddled with the Star Beads and walked over.
