–

That was the state of Jiang Xiao’s Star Map during the competition.

As for the second tab of Star Techniques, there were the indicators 0/10 and 0/1, because the Star Beads of the White Ghoul Witch and the White Ghouls were of Brass Quality. Hence, the absorption of each Brass Quality Star Bead would only result in the upgrade of one level.

The White Ghoul Witch’s Star Beads were of Silver Quality, so the absorption of a White Ghoul Witch’s Star Bead would result in the increase of one level.

Jiang Xiao stood in the phalanx of Class 2 and watched the military training session of a class of ordinary students.

It was now time for the ordinary students to perform. It had nothing to do with the eight classes of Awakened.

The classes of Awakened would perform after the classes of ordinary students.

After all, the content presented was not the same.

The ordinary students would go through proper military training while the Awakened would be ranked according to their combat skills.

Of course, before the competition, the Awakened would also showcase a series of performances that consisted of none other than fighting routines, grappling and practical wrestling techniques.

Few people would focus on the performance because everyone would usually be waiting for the great battle at the end.

After the military training performance by the ordinary students was over and the rankings were released, the teachers brought the students back to their respective classes.

At the same time, the classes of Awakened had also taken some precious time from their schedules to get into formation and line up neatly at the football field.

Everyone watched closely as the Year One tournament was finally about to begin.

The Awakened students in Year Two seemed to be rather ambitious as well. They had already decided on the strongest team. After the competition was over for the Year One students, the strongest team in Year Two would be able to challenge the School Tyrants in Year Three.

Jiang Xiao exited his internal Star Map and stepped on the soft turf, staring at the large podium in front of him.

There were a total of 10 people on the stage who did not seem to be too young, except the one at the side who seemed much younger. Perhaps, she was better at maintaining her youthful looks. Although she seemed to be in her thirties, Jiang Xiao reckoned that she was already in her forties.

The teachers in this world were different from those of Jiang Xiao’s world.

It could be because most of them were Awakened, so their physiques were excellent.

Jiang Xiao did not notice any balding or round-belied teachers.

Logically speaking, the one seated in the middle should be the principal, right?

However, there were 10 people in total, so the two in the middle could be considered the ones in the central spit. One of them was about 50 years old and dressed in a suit, appearing rather kindhearted and benevolent. The other one was dressed in a military uniform, and it was obvious who he was.

That made Jiang Xiao rather bewildered. Since the military had already sent some people to observe the students, why did they have to be spectators under such circumstances?

Wouldn’t it be easier to just let soldiers become the commanders of the Awakened students?

A time period of less than 20 days would be enough for the soldiers to get a clear understanding of the students’ potential and current situation. Are they that busy? Is there a lack of human resources?

Soon, under Coach Lei Jin’s leadership, the students of Class 2 began to perform freehand fighting, grappling and wrestling.

In the phalanxes of the Year Three students, a sweet-looking female student with light makeup stood among the students and quietly watched the pop-up messages on her mobile phone screen.

“Hey, wait, you anxious cuties. I’ll… eh? It’s here. I’ll show you guys.” The girl held the mobile phone in her hand, adjusted the angle, and pointed the camera at the two groups of phalanxes coming out of the football field.

“What’s so entertaining about a bunch of high school kids? I want to look at the school belle!”

“Yes, I want to look at our Jiangxue!”

“You’re a man, why are you acting cute? It’s so disgusting.”

“Pork bun, I like you.”

“Pork bun, stop casting a live-stream. I’m going to tell on you to the teacher unless you turn around and blow me a kiss.”

“It has appeared, the live monster!”

Pop-up windows flickered across the screen, and it seemed that the girl was rather popular.

As for why she was named “Pork Bun”…

Firstly, the girl was named Su Rou. Perhaps, it was because Su Rou was a transliteration of “Rou Bao” (Pork bun in Chinese).

The most important reason was that the girl once stuffed as many steamed pork buns as she could into her mouth during her live-stream a few years ago. The quantity was quite low, but she ended up stuffing just two steamed dumpling buns. However, the sticker pack that was made out of the screenshots of her video was extremely adorable. The nickname “Pork Bun” was slowly passed down then.

“Tsk, tsk, this bunch of students is not going to make the cut.” Su Rou grabbed her ponytail and smoothed it out. However, it was not smooth throughout and it was not black either. He reckoned that it must have been dyed dark brown. The bottom was slightly curled too.

One could imagine she would immediately become fashionable and beautiful after changing into a fresh set of beautiful clothes.

“It’s indeed a little boring.”

“What are you guys doing? The team of four inched forward and looked for their own opponents. A 1-on-1 battle?”

“They’re just a bunch of kids who have enrolled not too long ago. Don’t expect too much.”

“I want to see something interesting and watch the highlights of the World Combat competition.”

Su Rou was unsurprised by the argument because she was already accustomed to it. She was an experienced live streamer and so was great at stirring up a lively atmosphere. She could easily hype up the stream and change the subject and shift the audience’s attention with a few effortless words.

“I really like her long legs.” Su Rou shifted the angle of her phone and pointed the camera at the tall girl in the front row.

“Wow, this is Sis Jiangxue, my favorite cool and aloof girl.”

“???”

“Aim the camera back!”

“Pork Bun! Face the camera back at her!”

“We’ll turn off the stream if you don’t!”

“I’m going to turn it off!”

However, Su Rou seemed to be going against the people as she continuously shifted the camera, pointing it at another group of high school students on the football field.

“How about this one? Looks really obedient,” Su Rou said while staring at the screen and noticing that her viewers had shifted their focus. She could not help but smile. “Although the juniors in Year One can’t fight, they’re really good-looking.”

At the same time, a loud and explosive sound filled the air!

There was a loud bang, accompanied by the scream of a student. The power of thunder and lightning exploded!

“Beep!” The referee blew the whistle in time and immediately announced that the student who had been blown out of the area was disqualified.

The football field was divided into two parts, with the line in the middle as the boundary between two fields for two competitions to take place simultaneously.

Half of the football field was the battle area. Once the boundaries were crossed, the opponent would be disqualified.

Eight people in one arena would provide ample space for the kids to battle each other and put on a variety of formations. Now, the first “Flying Attack” had appeared!

“I take back my words.” Su Rou’s eyes lit up and she pointed the camera at the “obedient” boy she mentioned just now. “He’s handsome and the quality of his Star Technique is great too. Is that Charge?”

A message popped up on the screen.

“It definitely is Charge. Damn it, these kids are really rich.”

“There are too many wealthy people. It’s unfair for average kids like us.”

“Fairness? Hah, are you dreaming?”

“Pork Bun, help me ask for the WeChat account of that boy. I’m in love.”

“Haha, gold-digger.”

“+1”

“+7,355,608”

On the football field, the obedient-looking student who had a fringe turned around and pointed at the phalanx of Class 2 of Year One without even bothering to look at the student he blasted away.

He barked. “Jiang Xiaopi! Just you wait and see!”

Su Rou was slightly startled. She thought, This junior looks obedient but seems really angst?

No matter what conflicts there may be between them, how could he expose it here? There are plenty of school authorities and societal figures of status here.

Besides…

Jiang Xiaopi?

Is this even someone’s name?

Why does it sound so casual?

A commotion broke out in the phalanx of Class 2, and the students quickly turned their heads to look at Jiang Xiao.

Everyone watched as Su Rou easily found the man named “Jiang Xiaopi”.

“Wow, this kid is really handsome. Indeed, a buzz cut is really the standard for testing if a guy is handsome or not,” Su Rou said gently.

Another message popped up. “Oh dear, Pork Bun is acting man-obsessed again.”

“Can you stuff two guys with buzz cuts into your mouth?”
