Chapter 65: We Are Champions

Long-tailed Scorpion Star Bead (Silver Quality)

Star Technique:

Sand Thorn: Stirs sand to form a sand thorn. (Brass Quality, Upgradeable)

Sand Sphere: Consumes plenty of Star Power and attaches Sand Power to the thick sand. When concealed in thick sand, there will be a defensive effect that lasts 3-5 seconds. (Silver Quality, Upgradeable)

Would you like to absorb it together?

Brass Quality and Silver Quality?

There are actually two different Star Techniques in one Star Bead?

The Sand Thorn is easy to understand.

That Silver Quality Sand Sphere…

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and thought, Impressive.

This seems to be a defensive Star Technique? Channels Star Power and forms a thick layer of sand? Forms a shield made of sand?

Although it was said that there would be a huge depletion of Star Power, it would at least help with saving his life!

The effects lasted for 3-5 seconds.

Even one second on the battlefield would be a deciding factor of victory and turn the situation around.

Did Principal Yan specially prepare that for Medical Awakened?

Or did he prepare it especially for me?

He would probably give the other Medical Awakened Medical Skills like Bell, wouldn’t he?

Principal Yan knew that Jiang Xiao already acquired the Star Technique “Bell”, so he decided to take a different approach and give Jiang Xiao a better defensive Star Technique. Was that the case?

That Star Bead was undoubtedly of Silver Quality, for it contained both defensive and offensive Star Techniques. However, the type of Star Bead one absorbed would depend on fate.

However, that was not a problem for Jiang Xiao because he could absorb both.

However, he only had nine star slots in total. Should he place this Star Technique in one of his star slots?

“It came from a Dimensional Space in the Rig Desert in Gan Province. It’s called a Long-tailed Scorpion Star Bead that can be used to summon Sand Thorns and sand shields. You may research about it on the internet. I hope it’ll help increase your abilities,” Principal Yan said smilingly as he gave Jiang Xiao a pat on the shoulder and an encouraging smile.

“Principal, my qualifications are too low. I’m afraid I might waste this Silver Quality Star Bead,” Jiang Xiao said gratefully after recovering from the shock.

“You know of this Star Bead? Seems like you’ve done your research. You may go down,” Principal Yan said as he nodded with satisfaction.

He was just chatting with me a second ago and yet, he’s chasing me away now?

I have plenty of time to get into your good books.

Indeed, Jiang Xiao did have plenty of time. There was still a bunch of students below the stage…

Everyone watched in envy as Jiang Xiao and his team made their way down the podium. The principal then said some words of encouragement which caused the students to feel extremely enthusiastic.

Jiang Xiao had already become a target in the base camp of Class 2 of Year One.

Silver Quality Star Bead!

The Long-tailed Scorpion Star Bead! The students broke into an uproar after the principal introduced it.

Zhu Wen had clearly noticed something. He brought Jiang Xiao towards the back of the team and tried his best to leave everyone’s field of vision.

The team of five gathered again, but this time, they were basking in the joy of success and victory.

“Liu Ke, I’ll give you this Star Bead when we go back,” Jiang Xiao said, giving everyone a great shock.

“Huh? What did you say?” Liu Ke asked in astonishment as she stared at Jiang Xiao in disbelief. Shock was written all over her adorable face.

“We agreed that I’ll fight for you and you’ll accept the reward,” Jiang Xiao answered.

“Well… no, I have low qualifications. I’m afraid I might not be able to absorb it…” Liu Ke swallowed her saliva and said anxiously.

Jiang Xiao asked rhetorically in amusement, “Can it be any lower than mine?”

Everyone was speechless.

Jiang Xiao was right. In terms of qualifications, there was probably not a single person in the entire world who was weaker than Jiang Xiao.

“No, no, I can’t fight. It’d be such a waste to give it to me,” Liu Ke refuted while shaking her hands continuously.

Jiang Xiao comforted. “All humans have to grow. No one is born with natural combat skills.”

“No, no. That’s too expensive. I can’t take it,” Liu Ke said while shaking her head continuously.

“Why are you being so wishy-washy? If you really don’t want to be an Awakened, you may sell this to a business firm for money that you can give to your family. Didn’t you say that your family wasted plenty of money?” Jiang Xiao said firmly.

“Xiaopi, you…” Yi Lianna stared at Jiang Xiaopi with a complicated expression. Frankly speaking, if she were Jiang Xiaopi, she probably wouldn’t have made such a decision.

One Star Bead was simply too tempting to the students who had just entered High School.

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, “This was what we agreed on. You guys gave me enough support and trust and went all out to help me reach my goals. I should be fulfilling my promise too.”

Life was more than just a transaction.

Regardless of whether Jiang Xiao was only doing so to maintain a cordial relationship with them or because he truly believed in promises, Jiang Xiao allowed his actions to speak louder than words and no one could criticize him because he had truly done so.

Zhu Wen said, “We only managed to make it here because of you.”

“That’s enough. Why are you behaving like a woman too? You’re being so long-winded.” Jiang Xiao waved his hands and continued, “The other students are all watching us. Once we go back, I’ll give the Star Bead to you in private. The principal said that this is a Star Bead from the Rig Desert in Gan Province. It’s called the Long-tailed Scorpion Star Bead from a Dimensional Space. Shall we check about it on the internet?”

“I’ve heard the principal’s introduction, but Jiang Xiaopi, we’ve actually only met each other for a few days,” Liu Ke said, her voice growing softer. A person’s foresight and experience were important decisive factors. To the students, especially Liu Ke who came from an ordinary family, one Silver Quality Star Bead was too hefty.

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, “But I’ve already lived for 25… I mean, 16 years. There are plenty of things in this world that do not have anything to do with others. We’ll take it that this Star Bead is giving aid to the team.”

Jiang Xiao was bent on leaving. He decided that he ought to leave something behind for them since they had given him so much help.

“Well said!” Zhu Wu clapped his hands and looked at Liu Ke. “Give up. He doesn’t harbor any feelings for you or mean anything else. He places more emphasis on promises!”

Liu Ke looked at Zhu Wu in bewilderment and thought, What’s wrong with you?

Since everyone was in different positions, the things they considered would definitely be different too. Zhu Wu obviously fancied Liu Ke and could not help but feel complicated when he saw Jiang Xiao giving Liu Ke such an expensive and hefty gift.

However, Jiang Xiao’s words gave Zhu Wu a huge sense of relief!

It showed that Jiang Xiao did not harbor any designs on Liu Ke and was simply a man of his word.

Yi Lianna glanced at Jiang Xiao quietly and thought about how mischievous he usually was, how shrewd he was on the battlefield and how genuine he was to his friends. She also thought about how insistent he was on keeping his promises.

Although Jiang Xiaopi only has nine star slots, he has a special physique. He should have plenty of friends in the future.

If he’s really lucky enough to join the Year Three team, it would be the last time they’d be spending time together as a team.

Passerby.

What a disgusting word.

Yi Lianna suddenly suggested. “Let’s take a photo together for memory’s sake! It shall be memorabilia for our victory.”

“Good idea, haha.” Zhu Wu agreed with a smile.

At the same time, someone yelled into the broadcaster, “The Champion team of Year One shall take a break while the Champion teams of Year Two and Three may go on the arena to showcase an exhibition round.”

Exhibition round?

Isn’t it going to be a match against the School Tyrants?

There would be rewards if they were to win that round.

Liu Ke quickly urged. “Here, here, hurry up. It’s going to be our turn again soon. Ugh, they should be allowing you guys to rest and continue tomorrow.”

“Fatty! Liu Bufan, come here and help us take a photo!” Liu Ke yelled at the respondent of the class.

“Sure!” Liu Bufan scurried towards them while chuckling, grabbed Yi Lianna’s mobile phone, and pointed it at the team f five.

Yi Lianna pulled Liu Ke and sat on the ground together with her, perhaps because she was sparing a thought for the latter who had shorter legs.

Zhu Wu put his left arm around Zhu Wen and his right arm around Jiang Xiao while standing behind the two girls with a joyous smile.

Liu Bufan gently tapped on the mobile phone screen.

“Ka-cha!”

We’re the champions!
