Nine Star Burden

Chapter 200: The Correct Way to Use Flame Torch Whip

With more than 10,000 pairs of eyes that were full of different gazes glued on them, the team members from Jiangbin High School and Jiangbin High School No. 3 arrived in the middle of the arena and got into their formations.

The team from Jiangbin High School No. 3 got into a relatively regular 2-1-1 formation.

The sensitive fighter Gao Junwei and the Shield Warrior Zhang Weiliang stood side by side in front of the team, while the Rules Awakened Yu Zhen stood in the center and the Medical Awakened Zhang Mingming, who was also the commander, stood at the back of the team.

The formation of the team from Jiangbin High School was 3-1.

Li Weiyi, Xia Yan, and Han Jiangxue stood side by side at the front, while Jiang Xiao stood behind.

Li Weiyi was standing in the middle, Xia Yan was on his right, and opposite her was the Shield Warrior Zhang Weiliang.

Han Jiangxue was on the left, facing Gao Junwei who was opposite her…

When the spectators saw this formation, they burst into an uproar and began discussing fervently.

Similarly, the audience of Su Rou’s live-stream, who had been waiting for a long time, also had their own opinions.

“This is too strange. Although the two teams are more than 30 meters away, what does this formation mean? Are they looking down on Gao Junwei on the opposite side?”

“Do you think Li Weiyi is a decorative object? He can protect my Goddess Xue, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

“The team from Jiangbin High School is garbage. They’re just here because everyone is making a big deal out of them. Their true colors are going to be exposed.”

“Haha, they’re just good at fighting and killing monsters. If they really fight the team opposite, they’re going to lose badly.”

“This is my first time feeling confused about a 3-1 formation. I can’t tell if its an offensive or defensive formation.”

“What’s there to see? Gao Junwei can just yell while Yu Zhen casts some lightning and the competition will end.”

“Bullshit!”

“Yeah, your toxic healer is invincible. It’ll be a piece of cake for him to nurse the opponents to death.”

“Haha, you guys continue to blow your trumpets. I shall see what your toxic healer can get up to.”

Su Rou frowned and looked at the pop-up messages. When she started the live-stream in the morning, she found that many people were belittling and looking down on the team from her school. Now that the game had begun, such voices of criticism had increased.

Plenty of people were out to see the students from Jiangbin High School embarrass themselves.

Do famous people tend to garner more gossip?

Ever since the preliminary round during which the team from Jiangbin High School killed two Ape Ghoul Kings, more and more people tried to ruin them.

The various voices temporarily could not affect Jiang Xiao’s team, but the commotion and discussion going on in the stadium were real.

Zhang Mingming looked at the formation of the team from Jiangbin High School and felt that they had something up their sleeves.

You’re a Rules Awakened. Instead of standing at the back and finding a comfortable output environment, you’re standing in the front row. What for?

To gain some haters? To get attacked?

What’s your motive?

Are you trying to temporarily keep the Medical Awakened safe at the back, lest he gets attacked?

Zhang Mingming thought to himself. At the same time, the referee, standing in the center, blew his whistle.

The long and sharp sound of the whistle caught everyone’s attention, and they all fell silent for a moment. The referee grabbed a small flag and held it high in his hand.

Zhang Mingming whispered, “Be careful, Yu Zhen. Their first target must be you.”

After giving the instructions, Zhang Mingming yelled, “Get ready, Battle Tactic 1!”

No matter what, their first target would be Jiang Xiao, even if Han Jiangxue was right in front of them!

The rare Silver Quality Blessing was not good for treatment. In Jiang Xiao’s hands, it was more like an individual control technique!

Han Jiangxue indeed posed a great threat, but all the output fighters of Jiangbin High School had no Star Techniques that could be launched instantaneously.

Hence, Jiang Xiao, who could control the healing, must be killed first!

The team members of both teams were fully focused and ready to go.

Zhang Weiliang had a round shield in his hand, and he grabbed the air with his right hand, after which layers of Star Power condensed with the snowflakes. The cold and chilly weather seemed to be giving him a hand too. An icy spear soon appeared in his hand.

Gao Junwei’s body tensed up and the blue current passed through the Chinese sword in his hand.

A beautiful Star Map appeared on Yu Zhen’s body and the 25 star slots caused the crowd to exclaim.

Under the layers of Star Power, the scepter-shaped Star Map was extraordinarily beautiful. At the same time, an illusory scepter also appeared in her hand. Above the scepter, a dark-blue gemstone emitted a faint light.

Zhang Mingming reached his hands forward and gave his teammates some enhancement. The Ice Mist Armors appeared and shrouded the teammates.

On the other side of the arena, a Black Shield formed in Li Weiyi’s hand.

While holding onto the sword, Xia Yan dragged it against the ground with one hand and leaned forward slightly. Her pair of beautiful eyes were unusually fierce, and they were fixed on Zhang Weiliang opposite her.

A White Flames Star Map appeared on Han Jiangxue’s lithe body.

She had a total of 30 star slots, which caused everyone to be riled up.

It was no exaggeration to say that the vast majority of people present may only witness such a scene with their own eyes once in this lifetime.

30 star slots signified outstanding talent.

As the commander, Han Jiangxue led the team to clinch the first place in the preliminary round, which represented her wisdom and strength.

She stood tall and proud on the field where everyone could witness her beauty and elegance.

When those aspects were combined, the charm she exuded was absolutely shocking.

For the time being, there was no uproar amongst the spectators, but Su Rou’s live-stream was completely bombarded with pop-up messages, drowning out the haters’ comments.

“Oh my god, 30 star slots. I’m really convinced.”

“Look at the total Star Power and the layers of Nebula. She’s probably in the peak of the Nebula Stage?”

“She should be in the late Nebula stage, not the peak.”

“Beauty and strength coexist, this is what a true goddess should look like.”

“I look at others and then look at myself. Am I here just so that quota for humans will be met?”

“Han Jiangxue, I love you! I’m want to give you a baby…”

“This is a real goddess!”

“I’ve long heard that there is a genius from Beijiang Province in the provincial league this year. I’ve really gotten an eye-opener today.”

The pop-up messages made Su Rou feel overjoyed as if she had heard her own child getting praised.

Han Jiangxue’s simple move attracted the attention of the world. Regardless of the reactions, the referee’s flag had already fallen!

At the moment that the flag fell, Jiang Xiao collapsed and jumped to the left.

Almost at the same time, a thunderstorm descended from the sky, blasting a pit in the spot where Jiang Xiao was just standing!

Before Jiang Xiao landed, several vines sprung from the spot on the ground next to it, clearly trying to bind Jiang Xiao’s ankle!

Of course, at this moment, a ray of light from Blessing landed on Yu Zhen.

The two parties were not silly at all.

In the face of the instantaneous Star Techniques, the High School students couldn’t avoid using their natural reaction and instinctive abilities at all.

In order to dodge, they would have to do so in advance.

Jiang Xiao managed to dodge Yu Zhen’s “Dark Blue Scepter” while she also dodged Jiang Xiao’s “Blessing”.

However, Zhang Mingming was obviously prepared. His vine and Yu Zhen’s thunderbolt were launched at different timings. At the instant that Jiang Xiao landed, several vines entangled his ankle!

Yu Zhen hurriedly condensed thunder and lightning again.

Zhang Weiliang was holding his shield in one hand and carrying an ice spear in his other. He immediately used his spear like a javelin and threw it at Jiang Xiao while roaring.

The Black Shield in Li Weiyi’s hand managed to block the ice spear, causing it to be covered in frost.

However, Xia Yan ignored Zhang Weiliang, passed by him, and ran toward Yu Zhen directly. Although she had been glowering Zhang Weiliang, her target was, in fact, Yu Zhen.

She was already ready to go, and in the process of galloping, she tossed her giant sword in the air, throwing out a fiery red Flame Arc as she dashed towards Yu Zhen.

At the instant that the battle began, both parties knew that they were going to exhibit their own powers.

Within just one or two seconds, the audience immediately fell silent!

The spectators held their breaths and were so excited that they were bedazzled. As if they couldn’t digest so much information within a short period of time.

At the instant that the two teams were fighting each other instantly, there was already a clear winner between Han Jiangxue and Gao Junwei!?!

“No!”

“Wait!” Zhang Mingming and Zhang Weiliang shouted almost at the same time, but everything happened so fast that everything was already decided.

All of a sudden, gasps could be heard in the silent stadium, and shock was written all over the spectators’ faces.

Han Jiangxue stood silently in the middle of the arena.

Overlapping layers of space could be seen above her head.

She was holding a burning Flame Torch Whip in her right hand and pulling Gao Junwei, who was screaming in pain, towards her forcefully.

Everyone watched as Gao Junwei, a living human, disappeared without a trace just like that…
