Chapter 255: The Reward Given By The Principal

Qin Wangchuan was actually heartbroken. After thinking about the fact that Jiang Xiaopi was adopted, he felt rather relieved and he could understand what was going on.

Han Jiangxue was not greedy at all and she was rather righteous. She was a real descendant of the Han Family.

Actually,

Han Jiangxue didn’t feel too good about the Wasteland Reclaimers, a secretive army. She knew very little about them and especially since her died in a mission that she took on with them, she couldn’t quite bring herself to feel good about them.

Right from the beginning, Han Jiangxue’s stand was clear. For now, her goal was to get into the university of her dreams and the rest wouldn’t matter.

She gave up all the excellent conditions that the Wasteland Reclaimers have offered her. All she wanted was to live her own life.

Every child would definitely want to go out and see what the world had to offer through their own efforts.

However, after the two Wasteland Reclaimers left, Jiang Xiao chased after Qin Wangchuan in the corridor, expressing his intention to be an apprentice of the Wasteland Reclaimers.

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao with slight displeasure and amusement. He explained, “Once you become an apprentice, you won’t have time for yourself. You will live with your teacher until you pass the assessment and become a proper Wasteland Reclaimer. You’ll spend most of your time in the barracks, and there will be some missions for you to take on, where you will enter the Dimensional Spaces with the army. Hence, you cannot become an apprentice of both armies.”

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao who was frowning and deep in thought. He added, “Besides, the Wasteland Reclaimers and the Guardians Of The Night are the top teams of China, and are definitely competitive with each other. I might be willing to define it as a ‘healthy competition’, but…”

Qin Wangchuan shrugged his shoulders with a vague significance.

However, Jiang Xiao frowned and said, “However, my teacher, who’s a Guardian of The Night, promised to let me continue going to school normally. She also promised to teach and train me, and allow me to take part in missions whenever I’m free. My parents weren’t real soldiers too, were they? THey were external aid.”

Qin Wangchuan froze for a moment, and exchanged glances with Zhang Bingyang. Jiang Xiao was telling the truth. The Han couple wasn’t real soldiers and had become Wasteland Reclaimers because of their rigorous personalities and strong characters. They had also undergone strict observations and assessments.

The Han couples did not usually train in the army or participated in any activities. Instead, they only went on missions during actual Wasteland Reclamations.

However, they were actual Wasteland Reclaimers and not apprentices.

The students had to undergo training and given the current position and powers of the Zhang Bingyang and Qin Wangchuan, it would be difficult for them to agree to Jiang Xiao’s request on the spot. They would have to go back and discuss with their leaders.

As the child of a Wasteland Reclaimer martyr, Jiang Xiao had a special status. If it were someone else, such an excessive request would definitely be declined.

However, Qin Wangchuan was rather intelligent, and had managed to find out plenty of information after analyzing Jiang Xiao’s words.

First of all, why did the Guardians of the Night want Jiang Xiao to become an apprentice of theirs? Without a doubt, Jiang Xiao’s abilities and qualifications definitely made the cut!

Secondly, what kind of a person would agree to Jiang Xiao’s outrageous request? In fact, allowing him to start being an apprentice was already considered an exception. Yet, the even allowed Jiang Xiao to go out to learn and train with the Guardians of the Night during his free time?

How high must the position of this mysterious Guardian of The Night be?

How outstanding must Jiang Xiao be to make that person break the rules and make an exception for him?

Besides, what did taking on missions during his free time mean? How would the Guardians of The Night have so much free time? Their task was to stay put in one place and guard it at all times.

They could stand being lonely!

In addition to gaining more knowledge, improving battle tactics and strengthening his emotional tenacity. What did it mean to go on missions during his spare time?

With such training, how could Jiang Xiao develop proper discipline and willpower? That did not align with the nature of the work done by the Guardians of The Night.

The intelligent Qin Wangchuan was rather stunned and he came up with a conclusion – The person whom Jiang Xiao promised to become a disciple to, was probably not a regular Guardian Of The Night, but one of the Light-chasers, a special division of the Guardians Of The Night!

At the thought of this, Qin Wangchuan got a new impression of Jiang Xiao and he really felt like taking him in as an apprentice.

In fact, if the pair of siblings Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao of them agreed, Zhang Bingyang and Qin Wangchuan would become their individual mentors.

Zhang Bingyang was a powerful Rules Awakened.

Qin Wangchuan was a wise, great healer.

The poor Xia Yan seemed to have become a “free gift” ?

To Jiang Xiao, the conditions set by the Wasteland Reclaimers were rather generous and he was really tempted.

Second Last had been through a life-and-death situation with Jiang Xiao and even if she couldn’t give Jiang Xiao everything that the Wasteland Reclaimers had promised to give him, he wouldn’t change either.

Jiang Xiao promised her a long time ago.

Jiang Xiao had no idea that his words made Qin Wangchuan even more interested in him. However, Qin Wangchuan didn’t express his emotions on his face. Since Han Jiangxue had already turned down the Wasteland Reclaimers, they should have retreated immediately.

Jiang Xiao tried to push for it, only to discover that there was nothing he could do and hence, didn’t harp on it.

However, when he looked for Han Jiangxue in the principal’s office, he discovered that Principal Yan had given Han Jiangxue two small boxes and Xia Yan a similar one.

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Principal Yan was facing Han Jiangxue with a benevolent expression. Apart from feeling heartened and full of admiration. After asking Han Jiangxue about her studies, he gave her a few words of encouragement and allowed the three of them to leave.

Before the trio left, Principal Yan also specifically instructed Xia Yan to repair the door.

Xia Yan’s face was flushed as she felt a little embarrassed because she had just obtained a precious Star Bead from Principal Yan. She frantically apologized to him and promised to get someone to change the door immediately.

Principal Yan did not lack the money to pay for the repairs. After all, it was just a door.

The problem was that Principal Yan had gotten a great shock when Xia Yan kicked Jiang Xiao out just now, and got scalded by the cigarette he was holding…

Okay.

Hence, Xia Yan must repair the door.

Jiang Xiao who was outside the door, eagerly grabbed the two small boxes in Han Jiangxue’s hands and at the instant that his fingers touched the Star Beads, some information popped up in his internal Star Map. “Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead!”

Two Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads!

Jiang Xiao almost cried.

It turned out that begging did help!

Throwing a tantrum helped too!

Principal Yan had really given them an award of two Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads!

Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan’s hand but Xia Yan seemed to have failed to notice the look of desire in his eyes.

Jiang Xiao repeated his old tricks and proceeded to hold her hand.

Let’s congratulate the male and female guests for successfully holding hands!

Yes, Jiang Xiao was a little confused, because he actually managed to hold her hand.

Previously, Jiang Xiao had done the same thing on the podium during the awards ceremony of the Provincial League. At that time, Xia Yan immediately let go and tossed the Star Bead at Jiang Xiao.

However, this time, she actually held Jiang Xiao’s hand!

Xia Yan held onto Jiang Xiao’s hand, walked over and held onto Jiang Xiao’s shoulder, making him feel rather awkward. Xia Yan asked, “You want it all? What do you plan to do?”

Jiang Xiao turned his head around to look at Xia Yan, only to see that she had a mirthless smile on her face. “It’s just an analogy, why do you have to have such a huge reaction?”

“You are too greedy.” Xia Yan lowered her head slightly and looked into Jiang Xiao’s eyes with a stern expression.

Although Jiang Xiao had grown a lot in the past six months, he was already about 1.75 meters tall. However, he was still a bit taller than him.

Jiang Xiao rarely saw her being attentive. He could not help but feel a little bewildered. “This…”

To his surprise, Xia Yan glanced at Jiang Xiao and cocked his head towards the side to look at Han Jiangxue again. All of a sudden, she smiled like a shiba-inu and said, “I want it all.”

Bang!

Xia Yan was kicked out by Han Jiangxue…

Jiang Xiao applauded continuously and cheered in his heart!

Retribution is real!

Who has Heaven ever spared?

The shiba-inu Xia Yan was blasted away but she dropped the small box.

Jiang Xiao opened it and scrutinized it pretentiously. In fact, the internal Star Map had already shown him the information.

It was a Fallen Shadow Thorn Star Bead.

Principal Yan actually gave her the same reward as the organizers of the major competitions did.

Do heroes have the same opinions?

Or is it… eh? Principal Yan is a figure of status and he should be a member of the Star Warriors Association, right? Jiang Xiao thought.

Principal Yan probably transferred those Star Beads over from the Beijiang Province Star Warriors Association, didn’t he?

Or maybe, he’s a member of the National Star Warriors Association.

Logically speaking, the Star Techniques contained in the Fallen Shadow Thorn Star Bead was not too bad. They were Shadow Blade, Shadow Blade Protection and Shadow Blade Fury, which were either offensive or defensive. They would also result in soul damage that was enough to make Xia Yan’s abilities increase.

Unfortunately, Xia Yan was still only in the late Nebula Stage at this time, and her available star slots were all full. It seemed unrealistic for her to reach the Galaxy Stage in less than three months.

It would probably be hard for her to even reach the peak of Nebula Stage.

She could probably only wait until she goes to university and reaches the Galaxy Stage to absorb the Fallen Shadow Thorn Star Bead

Of course, the premise was that she could break through the Galaxy Stage.

Jiang Xiao’s worries were not uncalled for. After all, they didn’t have the internal Star Map like Jiang Xiao did. They couldn’t use their Skill Points to improve their quality.

In society, there were too many examples. Every increment of a small level in the big realm and a breakthrough could stop an Awakened and prevent him from advancing ever again.

The Galaxy Stage was like an important watershed.

After the Galaxy Stage, one’s physical fitness would no longer have much to do with the improvement in realm.

Reaching the Galaxy Stage would mean that one had achieved success.

It also meant that they had already reached the minimum physical fitness requirements for becoming a true Star Warrior.

One’s body would become their solid foundation which would take them wherever their dreams led them to.

From then on, one would have to rely on their aptitude, hard work, and understanding of Star Study, in order to advance in level.

Of course, if one does not advance, they would be very likely to fall back in standard. If one were to advance to the Galaxy Stage and then begin to slack off, stop training and idle about, they might just fall off the realm…

If one were to be kicked out of the Galaxy Stage, would the subsequent star slots after the ninth be removed? Can the Star Beads that were once embellished in the star slots during the Galaxy Stage be returned?

Jiang Xiao thought about it for a long time to make himself sober up before retracting his thoughts and considering his own Star Techniques.

Sound of Silence, Gold Quality Level 2 (9/100)

Jiang Xiao had six Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads now and eh could upgrade it to Gold Quality Level 8 (9/100)

Can I try to upgrade it!?!

Or… do I really wait for Little Jiangxue to break through the Galaxy Stage and try and see if she can absorb Sound of Silence?

To be fair, the luxurious Platinum Quality was rather attractive to Jiang Xiao.

God knows what kind of terrifying effects a wonderful Star Technique like Sound of Silence could bring about after it gets upgraded to Platinum Quality.
