“What’s up with this bird? Aren’t you going to take it away?” Jiang Xiao asked while pointing at the bird on his head.

Chumo smiled, revealing her dimples. “It probably likes you very much.”

Jiang Xiao said, “Well…”

Chumo said feebly, “It’s too dangerous here, and many teams are competing with each other. I think we should form an alliance to fight the enemy together.”

Han Jiangxue raised her eyebrows without making a single sound. Before entering the place, no one would have imagined that their team would become a hot choice and target ally for the other teams.

Is it because of my 30 star slots?

That was what Han Jiangxue thought. After all, there was nothing much her team could offer.

Jiang Xiao was Han Jiangxue’s pride and joy and the mainstay of her team. However, he was only recognized by the people of Beijiang. Jiang Xiao managed to earn his due respect through real efforts and hard work.

However, to the media, Jiang Xiao’s abilities could only be considered satisfactory based on the Beijiang Provincial High School League and Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition because videos of his performances were limited.

Moreover, the media felt that it was rare for him to perform that well because, after all, he only had nine star slots. With such low qualifications, he actually managed to acquire practical Star Techniques. They felt that he had wasted plenty of resources.

She was just like a giant tree.

Han Jiangxue sighed softly and suddenly felt that her younger brother Xiaopi was greatly wronged.

They only saw her 30 star slots, but not Jiang Xiaopi’s much more dazzling and brilliant nine star slots.

Facts proved that everyone was dramatic!

Even the aloof and indifferent Han Jiangxue had dramatic thoughts when it came to the people or things she really cared about.

The team from Cainan Province had decided to form an alliance with the team from Beijiang with the reason: “My little bird is fond of your little toxic healer.”

They were really after Jiang Xiao.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Xiao frantically asked, “Tell me the breed of your bird, its Star Techniques, and the reason it keeps climbing onto my head.”

Jiang Xiao didn’t promise anything but first asked for information.

Chumo pursed her lips and said softly, “I call it a yellow-green parrot…”

Jiang Xiao was shocked, as he could infer a lot from that sentence alone.

What did she mean by “I call it”? 

The bird obviously did not have a scientific name. In other words, the officials had yet to set a standard name for that creature of another dimension.

Jiang Xiao thought about the situation that happened earlier on. None of the elites knew where the parrot was from. Hence, Jiang Xiao had reason to speculate that it was from a new Dimensional Space and was a new breed. Besides, Xiong Chumo was also the first person to obtain it as a Star Pet.

Xiong Chumo slightly raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiao with a sweet smile that revealed her teeth. “It will bring good luck to people.”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Is this how you show sincerity? What did you say? 

You only said those two sentences? Is the rest up to me to speculate? 

Jiang Xiao pressed his lips together and said, “Since it didn’t perch on your head, you’re out of luck today, so I don’t plan to form an alliance with you.”

Xiong Chumo looked slightly disappointed as her glistening eyes became gloomier.

“Damn it!” The male Rules Awakened representing Cainan Province was filled with shock as he looked at Jiang Xiao with a dumbfounded expression. He exclaimed, “You’re really an insensitive straight guy! You actually turned them down!”

Jiang Xiao looked at the boy and humphed. “Ah, men.”

Everyone was stunned.

“Qi Yan, cut it out,” Xiong Chumo softly said as she turned to look at the Rules Awakened of her team. She then took a step forward, tiptoed, and whispered into Jiang Xiao’s ear, “I’m keeping it from you because I’m protecting you.”

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. Then he turned around to look at his teammate before dragging Xiong Chumo away.

The teams from Beijiang and Cainan were all shocked. What’s going on? 

Why have you guys come to play in the mausoleum? 

What’s this couple doing? 

What’s this?

Children are wailing on the ground. Can you two be more serious?

Jiang Xiao dragged Xiong Chumo to the side and put one hand on the headband to cover the miniature camera. “Mouth the words.”

Xiong Chumo nodded and lipped: “It likes Medical Awakened. Hence, it chose to stay with me.

“It’s very clingy, but there have been exceptions. When there are Medical Awakened stronger than me present, it will fly away from me to enjoy the aura of the Star Power from the stronger Medical Awakened.”

Xiong Chumo had bright eyes and white teeth. She looked up at Jiang Xiao and sighed softly. “In the registration hall, there were 800 participants, hundreds of teachers, hundreds of staff… adding up to more than a thousand people. It flew around in the barracks, and yet, it still chose you in the end.”

Jiang Xiao thought to himself in disappointment, Is this silly bird out to prank me? 

This is framing! 

Hai Tianqing was right beside me during the registration. Am I a better healer than him? Impossible!

Isn’t this silly bird wronging me!?!

Besides, there are definitely hidden talents in the barracks. How could there be no great healers? 

Jiang Xiao was just a Medical Awakened in the early Nebula Stage. How could he be stronger than the others!?!

Han Jiangxue was eye-catching enough in the first place. If Xiong Chumo were to spread the news, Jiang Xiao’s team would definitely be the target of public criticism.

Many teams would besiege us in the preliminary round, right? A team that wants to win a place in the top rankings probably wouldn’t let such a team advance to the semi-finals, right? 

Putting aside the other teams, the Tianjin team probably… 

Xiong Chumo continued to gesture with her lips. In the past, Jiang Xiao would probably only focus on her cherry lips and not bother reading them to understand what she was trying to say.

However, he didn’t have any inappropriate thoughts at all.

Xiong Chumo mouthed: “We’re very competent. We can help each other. We don’t expect to fight for the first place, but we want to enter the semi-finals. If we can’t make it, we can at least stay safe beside you. I can’t heal very well…”

Jiang Xiao placed a hand on his forehead and tried to calm himself down. He was already accustomed to being mischievous and subconsciously said, “Girl, you’re too honest. If you don’t say it, no one will find out.”

Xiong Chumo froze for a moment, and her eyes widened a little after recovering from the shock. She smacked Jiang Xiao’s arm and turned a little red. She was so infuriated and embarrassed that she rolled her eyes at him.

“Jiang Xiaopi.” In the distance, Xia Yan gritted her teeth and said, “Move away, let the guardians come over.”

Jiang Xiao and Xiong Chumo hurriedly moved aside while two squads of guardians healed the participants on the ground and carried them away.

Liu Yang had completed the 1 VS 8 feat!

However, everything seemed inferior to Jiang Xiao’s 1 VS 1 feat.

Liu Yang squatted on the ground, resting his chin in one hand. He continuously shook his head and clucked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. He watched as Jiang Xiao and Xiong Chumo returned.

Jiang Xiao questioned, “What are you looking at?”

Liu Yang retorted, “I’m a ruffian, and I live up to my title. Are you a gangster?”

Xiong Chumo was easily embarrassed, and she lowered her head to hide behind her teammate.

Liu Yang said, “We agreed to fight, why have you gone on a rendezvous with her?”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Liu Yang blinked and seemed to feel something. “Look, she’s so beautiful, and yet, you’re such a beast.”

Wow, brother, are you that competent!?! 

After being dazed for a long time, Jiang Xiao asked, “Four bets?”

There were numerous comments in Su Rou’s live-stream…

“Damn it. It’s my first time seeing the toxic healing king spacing out after being insulted!”

“What!?! He’s brilliant!”

“I remember you now! Liu Yang! In my heart, you’re the best in Tianjin!”

“Hahahahaha!”

“Brothers! Stop rejoicing, switch channels! Watch the elite team from Beijing! Ying Xi, Yuan Qinghua, and the rest have gotten into a fight!”

“Damn!”

“Do the members from Beijing love going against other groups alone?”

At the same time, Jiang Xiao was having a meeting with the alliance when he heard the rumbling sounds.

Everyone looked at each other, and Jiang Xiao said, “The elite teams from Beijing have all given up on chasing us halfway through. They probably discovered something amiss or found some leads. The sound seems to come from a faraway place. It should be from where we were?”

He looked at Li Weiyi inquisitively.

Li Weiyi nodded resolutely. “Yes.”

Jiang Xiao said, “Let’s leave them alone and move to the next level. At present, as long as we don’t run into the team led by the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior, we can handle most situations. We’re already stronger and more confident than most of the other teams. Let’s go to the next level to find weapons and kill some monsters to score points.”

Xiong Chumo whispered, “If you count us in, we will be able to handle it even with the presence of the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior.”

Jiang Xiao turned to look at her, only to see her confident eyes.

To everyone’s surprise, the Medical Awakened from Tianjin finally spoke up. “That’s true. Your strength is beyond doubt. If we really run into the Ancient Warriors, we’ll be in trouble.”

Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that the three-team alliance had been settled.

Slightly tempted, Jiang Xiao said, “We’re two floors below ground. How do we advance?”

“Let’s look around.” Cai Yao looked around and exchanged glances with the Shield Warrior Zhang Qinzhou.

Zhang Qinzhou thought for a while, chose a direction, and walked away. “Let’s look for it.”

Everyone had their own thoughts, but no one dared to interject.

When the battle on the first floor started, the teams from Jinmen, Cainan, and Beijiang rushed to the second floor below ground and began to earn points!

As the three teams fought each other, the National League became a survival game where they had to stay alive for 72 hours.

After the three teams formed an alliance, the National League became a tense and exciting battle!
