Chapter 187: Gold Quality Body of Star Power?

“It doesn’t have any Star Power or a clear mind. We can even launch a sneak attack,” Xia Yan said while holding onto her waist and trying to get up, looking like a patron of a brothel suffering from a weak kidney. Appearing extremely feeble, she continued, “That happened in the end.”

Han Jiangxue comforted her, which was rather rare of her. “After all, it’s a Gold Quality creature of another dimension. Don’t be too dejected.”

Xia Yan pursed her lips and raised her chin at Jiang Xiao.

Of course, Jiang Xiao knew what she wanted. Seeing how terrible she felt, he immediately tried to give her another Bell.

Feeling a little sad, Xia Yan said, “I thought it could be settled with a single stab, but… well.”

Jiang Xiao gave Xia Yan another Blessing and said, “This time, I’ve personally experienced the powerful attributes of a strong Gold Quality creature. Let’s use Sky Smasher directly next time, and throw the Ape Ghoul King back into it. It should be easier to operate.”

Li Weiyi, who had beheaded the Ape Ghoul King, asked from afar, “There’s going to be a next time?”

Compared to Li Weiyi, who was after stability, Xia Yan clearly preferred challenges and thrills. She said, “I agree with Xiaopi. We just have to change the second half of the plan. You and I will protect Xuexue. After the Star Power of the Ape Ghoul King becomes depleted, we’ll get Xuexue to throw it into the Sky Smasher.”

Li Weiyi opened his mouth, but he still didn’t speak.

Xia Yan made it sound rather easy and the situation she described was rather idealistic. However, everyone knew how terrifying the Ape Ghoul King was. What if it didn’t act according to plan?

It would be terrifying if it started attacking their team before its Star Power was depleted.

Even if the Ape Ghoul King’s Star Power had been depleted, the team would definitely be destroyed by the time they could react had the Ape Ghoul King not vented its anger by smashing the giant tree earlier on.

While Li Weiyi was feeling a little resentful, he heard Jiang Xiao’s voice again.

“I found the medal,” Jiang Xiao said while trying to cut off the Ape Ghoul’s thick fur using his dagger.

Unfortunately, the yellow weapons had to be placed in Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher. Otherwise, they should be able to sell the corpse of the Ape Ghoul King for a good amount of money.

The fur and skin alone were extremely valuable.

While thinking about it, Jiang Xiao took out a medal the size of his palm and much larger than the yellow medal in the Ape Ghoul’s back. After wiping away the bloodstains, the smile of the medal appeared.

300 points!

“Gold Quality Star Bead,” said Li Weiyi, also taking out a Star Bead from the head of the Ape Ghoul King. Even though it was stained with fresh red blood, the blood still could not cover the faint light that it was exuding.

…

In the monitoring room.

The soldiers had shock and admiration written all over their faces.

These kids actually did it!

They had strange ideas and shared a tacit understanding. They were also extremely courageous and driven.

They had really killed an Ape Ghoul King.

Right from the beginning, their minds were already clear and they had developed clear strategies which they executed well. When the Ape Ghoul King’s Star Power was depleted in the end, they teamed up and killed it with a single blow.

Although there was a little unexpected slip-up at the end, it didn’t affect them that much.

The soldiers all praised them in their hearts.

It’s no wonder they’re a team of Trojan horse elites!

…

On the battlefield in the Western area.

Jiang Xiao asked, feeling rather interested, “What’s the matter?”

Li Weiyi immediately tossed the Ape Ghoul King Star Bead to Han Jiangxue and said, “I don’t want this Star Technique. Be it Body of Star Power or Brutality, I’m not interested at all. Commander, you do the distribution.

It wasn’t important for a Melee Awakened and a short-range attacker. Hence, Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao didn’t need it at all.

What would Jiang Xiao need it for?

To become a massive, frustrated healer?

Uh…

That doesn’t seem impossible either.

However, he only had five star slots left—if he wanted to save one for a Star Pet, he would only have four left. There were still plenty of functional Star Techniques that Jiang Xiao wanted to obtain.

Clearly, Brutality and Body of Star Power were not included.

Simply put, he could absorb them, but there was no need to do so.

Actually, instead of acquiring Brutality and Body of Star Power, it would be better to absorb other output Star Beads which had several Star Techniques each. They would all be able to meet the requirements for the output of attacks, regardless of whether Jiang Xiao used a wooden sword or a combat sword.

Jiang Xiao was faced with a serious problem—his output seemed to be insufficient.

Although he had devoted all of his energy and effort into his dagger skills and had trained extremely hard, it would still be difficult for him to actually hurt his enemies when facing higher-level creatures of other dimensions.

Of course, that was also something that Jiang Xiao should consider in the future. At this stage, apart from the Gold Quality Ape Ghoul King, Jiang Xiao would still have to face other creatures which were mostly of Silver Quality and Brass Quality. Apart from that, he would also have to deal with the other students of their cohort. Jiang Xiao’s martial arts skills would allow him to deal with it well.

Speaking of which, his profession was to assist his teammates medically, after all, not a warrior or Rules Awakened that had to launch rapid attacks.

At the thought of violent output, Jiang Xiao turned to Xia Yan and said, “If you can summon a large Body of Star Power, there’ll be a huge, qualitative increase in your destructive power and you’d completely be able to smack the Ape Ghoul King to death. You’ll no longer have to be afraid of being unable to behead it.”

Li Weiyi was slightly stunned. If things were considered from the team’s perspective, the Shield Warrior of the team should be the one to absorb such highly flammable Star Techniques.

Apparently, Li Weiyi thought that he had expressed his attitude clearly just now and he no longer needed that Star Technique that had obvious advantages and disadvantages. That was why Jiang Xiao decided to persuade the melee fighter Xia Yan.

“Uh…” Li Weiyi hesitated for a moment and glanced at Han Jiangxue. “Commander, do you think we need the Star Technique, Body of Star Power? In the future, we’ll have to go through the Beijiang Province Second Wasteland Reclamation competition, as well as the National High School League. We have to go to Dimensional Spaces.”

Han Jiangxue shook her head and said, “You’re in the Nebula Stage. The probability of you absorbing Gold Quality Star Techniques is too low. Besides, Ape Ghoul King has an inherent advantage in the total amount of Star Power. You’re only in the late Nebula Stage. Even if you really absorb the Body of Star Power and summon it, it won’t last long.”

Xia Yan clutched her kidney and said, “Yes, I definitely have to wait until the Nebula Stage to absorb a Gold Quality Star Technique. Besides, only eight star slots can be used during the Nebula Stage. You already have seven lit up. There’s only one left. What if you absorb Brutality? You don’t have Brutality in your first seven star slots.”

Li Weiyi remained silent.

That was indeed a problem.

Jiang Xiao suddenly said to Xia Yan, “I’ve already given you some treatment. Why are you still clutching your stomach?”

Xia Yan glowered at Jiang Xiao and said, “It hurts. Can’t I just rub it a little? Why do you have so much to say?”

Jiang Xiao said, “I’m a doctor and a great healer. You should be feeling very comfortable. What you’re doing now is a huge insult to me.”

Xia Yan barked. “Cut the crap! Why don’t you come here and rub it for me?”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Han Jiangxue interjected. “You two, shut up.”

The soldiers in the monitoring room looked at each other.

The shock and admiration on their faces had vanished completely. Is this the team that killed the Ape Ghoul King? How childish are these two?

Xia Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiao with resentment.

Jiang Xiao snorted and continued, “The annual college entrance examinations have been going on for so many years and there have been a lot of candidates, but how many are in the Galaxy Stage? If you want to acquire a Gold Quality Star Technique, you must do it during the Nebula Stage.”

Han Jiangxue was extremely intelligent. Hence, she immediately realized what Jiang Xiao wanted to do. Does my brother really want Xia Yan to have Body of Star Power?

Xia Yan did have the Star Technique, Brutality. If she could acquire any Star Technique, she could only add Body of Star Power.

However, everyone was well aware that this Star Technique consumed too much Star Power for the Nebula Stage students because they didn’t have enough Star Power to support it.

During competitions with regular rules, students would not be allowed to bring Star Beads to replenish Star Power.

Do you want to be a king for five seconds and then get knocked out?

And lie on the ground until the competition is over?

Even if you’re in the Galaxy Stage, you still can’t withstand the amount of mana depleted by the Star Technique. Since the technique isn’t that practical, why is Jiang Xiao still so obsessed with it?

To his surprise, Xia Yan really asked for it. “Okay, I know. Shut up, you’re annoying. Xuexue, give me the Star Bead. I’ll try to absorb it.”

Han Jiangxue was bewildered.

She thought, You may have 28 star slots, but you still shouldn’t be so wasteful. Why would you acquire such a useless…

Just as Han Jiangxue was about to say something, her heart skipped a beat.

Wait…

Han Jiangxue turned to look at Jiang Xiao and suddenly realized that her toxic healer of a brother did have Gold Quality Nostalgia which could make up for many weaknesses of the Body of Star Power.

As long as Xia Yan could kill fast enough, she would be able to last longer.

Once Jiang Xiao’s Nostalgia is upgraded in quality, Xia Yan will have an easier time.

However, if Xia Yan wants to exert the full effects of this Star Technique, she will have to use it together with Nostalgia, and she will have to stay by his side…
