Nine Star Burden

Chapter 539: The path to the sanctuary

It’s the 4000-word chapter, the last chapter of this volume. I hope everyone likes it. Please give me some votes.

…

Jiang Xiao walked out of the ancient tower that night.

In his ruins of calamity, a few figures were fighting intensely with Jiang Xiao, the decoy.

As it turned out, the Galaxy stage bait could compete with a gold quality king Creature.

Moreover, the gold-quality creatures at the top of the ancient tower were different from other beast-type gold-quality creatures. The ghostly monks obviously paid more attention to techniques and their star techniques were more supportive. They did not have the huge body size and brutal strength of the ape Ghoul King.

Hence, Jiang Xiao, who was also willing to compete in skills, realized that a gold-quality partner couldn’t satisfy him at all.

Hence, Jiang Xiao threw another partner in, and the situation got out of control. If Jiang Xiao hadn’t entered the ruins of calamity and shadow in time, she would have died again.

Yi Qing’s star techniques were disgusting. The concealed light armor and Starlight armor were both good and would increase his defense. However, the gold quality STAR technique, Starlight armor, came with a stronger anti-shock effect, which made Jiang Xiao, who had no star techniques, suffer.

Hence, the situation was still not ideal even after Jiang Xiao killed his partner and threw in a golden partner.

…

After that, Jiang Xiao tried to form a team of two to four silver-ranked monks. The decoy Jiang Xiao could practice his swordsmanship, fists, and daggers diligently, but he lacked a sense of urgency.

It couldn’t be helped. There was a qualitative difference in physical fitness between the Galaxy stage and the Nebula stage. This was an iron-clad fact.

A few hours later, Jiang Xiao came up with a training partner combination of one gold Partner and two silver Partners. It was very effective and gave him a sense of urgency and crisis. It could also train Jiang Xiao’s various techniques to the greatest extent. It was perfect!

After coming up with a brilliant lineup of sparring partners, Jiang Xiao decided to quit while he was ahead and hurriedly returned to earth.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Jiang Xiao was about to leave with his school bag. When he picked up his phone, he saw a text message from second last, which read: “Return to the team.”

Jiang Xiao thought about it and replied to her message,””Are you taking a plane back to Jin city?”

After a while, when Jiang Xiao was outside the training ground and getting into the car, second last replied with three words: “The national team!”

There was an exclamation mark at the end, which gave Jiang Xiao a great shock and he dared not reply to her message.

“Where to?” The driver asked.

Jiang Xiao looked at the screen of his mobile phone and hesitated for a while before saying,””Shopping? Where can I find clothes?”

“Alright,” the driver replied.

After driving for a while, Jiang Xiao gave Han Jiangxue a call.

The song “Adeline by the water” over the phone once again brought Jiang Xiao back to his high school life.

Just as Jiang Xiao was engrossed in the conversation, the call was connected and Han Jiangxue’s familiar voice could be heard.

“I’m back. ” Jiang Xiao said,”we’ll arrive safely. Don’t worry.”

“Return to China?” Han Jiangxue asked.

“Uh …” Jiang Xiao stammered and continued,”let’s talk about it when we meet. How are you? I saw the news. You guys have been successfully selected? Congratulations, little jiangxue. You’re really a role model for us freshmen. ”

“Go.” Han Jiangxue spat and paid no attention to herself at all. Instead, she continued to ask,”you went abroad for a mission? Are you alright? How’s your condition?”

The fact that Jiang Xiao could get through the call probably meant that he was fine. In fact, Han Jiangxue was most worried about Jiang Xiao’s mental state.

After all, Jiang Xiao had a “criminal record”.

Jiang Xiao had been taken away by second last many times, and occasionally, he would be in a bad state of mind. Even when he met Han Jiangxue, he had already adjusted his mental state, but Han Jiangxue could still see the huge changes in him.

Of course, Han Jiangxue didn’t think that her mischievous brother would suffer from hipster symptoms. There was no doubt that Jiang Xiao might have experienced unimaginable pain and torture during the mission.

Jiang Xiao wasn’t in a good state during those few times because he had died more times. Uh …

Jiang Xiao asked,’status? I’m in good condition, don’t worry. By the way, what’s your schedule? I don’t think our individual team will be returning to the capital. We’re still training. ”

“Mm …” Han Jiangxue paused for a moment and said,”we’re still deploying the personnel here to decide on the final team composition.”

“Ah?” Jiang Xiao asked in puzzlement,”didn’t you guys already advance? I saw the news on the internet. ”

“Yes, that’s the news of the victory, the university’s victory, and the ranking. We are still in the midst of regrouping the members of the team. ” Han Jiangxue replied,”there shouldn’t be many changes in the members of the three main teams. Those analysts are always talking about ‘chemical reactions’. They’re still comparing the strengths and weaknesses of all the students in the selection. The substitute team is in the name of the university, but they may be replaced. ”

“Oh, that’s good.” Jiang Xiao was relieved and said,”I just called you to let you know that I’m safe. Everything’s fine now. Remember to inform me after you’ve confirmed your schedule. I’ll be back soon.”

“Be careful.” “I haven’t seen you in a long time,” Han Jiangxue said softly.

Jiang Xiao remained silent for a long while.”I haven’t returned to the team yet. I can go and look for you first.”

“I don’t want to.” Han Jiangxue’s voice was very serious.”You’re also a national team member and you have to follow the rules. I just …” I want to see you and confirm if you’re really fine. I believe you. You wouldn’t lie to me, right?”

“Don’t worry, I …”

Han Jiangxue said,”they called me. I have to continue analyzing the data of my star technique. I have to make sure that I’m not selected from the team.”

Jiang Xiao hurriedly said,”Okay, okay. Hurry up and go. Just do your best. There’ll definitely be no problem.”

Han Jiangxue chimed in.”Okay, return to the team as soon as possible. Don’t go out and play anymore. Do you understand?”

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and hung up the phone after hearing Han Jiangxue’s menacing voice.

Of course, he had to return to the team. However, Jiang Xiao was going to customize a special short-sleeved shirt before that.

Night fell.

The business street was brightly lit, with heavy traffic and a loud voice.

Jiang Xiao lowered his cap and walked through three or four shops before finally seeing a shop with a similar style.

The girl looked at the young man curiously. The young man was wearing an ink cap with an ancient town in Jiangnan, a small bridge, and flowing water printed on it. The brim of the cap was pressed down very low, making him look very mysterious.

“I’d like to have a custom-made t-shirt,”Jiang Xiao said.

The waitress blinked and found Jiang Xiao to be rather familiar.

“Pa!” Jiang Xiao reached out and waved his hand in front of her face to attract her attention.”The styles of your houses are very similar.”

While speaking, Jiang Xiao gestured to the clothes in the ink wash painting hanging on the wall.

“Yes, yes! Do you have any requirements for the design? I have a lot of spare designs here, you can come here to take a look. ” The girl walked into the shop, where there was a computer.

“No, I’ll give you the pattern.” Jiang Xiao followed her in and said,”the request is simple.”

“What?”

“White short-sleeved shirt.” Jiang Xiao said,”front, written with a brush, bigger, crazed style, two numbers: 29。”

The shop-keeping girl: “oh, Oh, okay. Print the top and bottom then. Tilt it a little, and the two words will overlap a little. It will look good.”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said,’on the back, written with a brush. Heroes are immortal. ”

The shop-keeping girl wrote down the requirements and said,””No problem. Please leave your address and pay the deposit. I remember now! Are you Jiang xiaopi?”

“Shh.” Jiang Xiao hurriedly raised a finger and said,”it’s very important to me. I’m going to wear it to the competition. It’ll be my lucky shirt. Can you hurry up?”

The eyes of the girl lit up and she hurriedly said,”No problem! No problem! Urgent! I’ll send it to you in two days! You’re going abroad soon, right? I saw you get selected for the national team! It’s awesome!”

“Thank you,” she said. Jiang Xiao nodded and thanked her.

“Come, let’s make the pattern now. Take a look at it and see if you’re satisfied with it.” The salesgirl was very enthusiastic.

That was the reason why Jiang Xiao came here personally. He and the waitress spent a long time playing with the computer and were finally satisfied. He left the hotel’s address, the deposit, and an autograph before he left in a hurry.

Jiang Xiao only slowed down after walking two streets quickly.

I’ll wear this short-sleeved shirt under the national team uniform!

I’ll fulfill my promise, you guys come with me.

Jiang Xiao, who was walking with his head lowered in the crowd, vaguely heard a familiar voice.””So, what’s your suggestion for the new generation of medical Star Warriors?”

Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks, but he was pushed forward by the crowd behind him. There were also disgruntled voices behind him, and the man squeezed past Jiang Xiao’s shoulder and walked over.

Jiang Xiao turned around and looked up, only to see that the glass display cabinets in the shopping mall were filled with all kinds of televisions, and the “TV wall” was playing the same channel.

This was …

Jiang Xiao was slightly dazed. Was this the interview he accepted for ye Xunyang’s “people” when he entered the top 32?

Yesterday or this morning, the guardians of the night had just informed him that he would return, and the interview program was being broadcasted tonight?

Under the night sky …

The light from the TV wall …

It was a stark contrast to Jiang Xiao’s figure in the crowd, who was carrying his school bag and looking up.

On the television, Jiang Xiao and the host, ye Xunyang, were sitting in front of a round glass table and chatting face to face.

Jiang Xiao looked at the camera with a serious expression and said,””Any medical awakened must recognize their own Foundation. Medical star techniques are the real weapons that allow you to gain a foothold.

If he wanted to take on more responsibilities, he could, but the premise was that he had to do his job as a medical awakened well. Otherwise, it would be a great waste of medical talent. ”

“Hehe.” On the screen, ye Xunyang, who was dressed in a black women’s suit, had an elegant posture and was smiling.”Let’s get back to you. Why do you want to participate in the world Cup? You’re only in your first year, you have a lot of time to grow. ”

On the screen, Jiang Xiao, who was sitting at the round glass table, said,””You know my grades …”

Ye Xunyang smiled.”The Beijiang province High School League, the Beijiang province second wasteland reclamation competition, and the National High School League. Your student life is amazing. You’ve won the highest honor in all stages.”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said,’so …’ It should be the World Cup. ”

Ye Xunyang raised his eyebrows and smiled.”Do you mean you want to win the World Cup? Can I understand it that way?”

Jiang Xiao laughed and said, I shouldn’t be here.

“What?” ye Xunyang was stunned.

Jiang Xiao leaned back against the seat and rubbed his hair.”

“According to people’s thoughts, judgment, and predictions, I shouldn’t be sitting here.

I shouldn’t have skipped a grade or joined the school tyrants of jiangbin high school. I should have been studying in class and training on the field.

I shouldn’t have won the provincial League Championship, the second wasteland reclamation Championship, and the National League Championship.

I shouldn’t have gotten the MVP of the finals.

I shouldn’t have been specially recruited into the Star Warriors of Beijing. I shouldn’t have been recommended by the Star Warriors of Beijing.

I shouldn’t have participated in the national team in my freshman year. I shouldn’t have entered the top 32. ”

Ye Xunyang leaned forward and said,””What do you want to express?”

“But I’m here right now, sitting in front of you, participating in the interview of the top 32.” Jiang Xiao smiled and gestured at the seat under his buttocks.”I’ve done all the things that I shouldn’t have done, all the ‘shouldn’ t ‘things that people predicted, expected, and judged.”

Ye Xunyang nodded thoughtfully.

Jiang Xiao suddenly said,”if it were two years ago, when I had just awakened the star map, would you believe me if I told you that I would achieve all the above?” he asked.

Ye Xunyang smiled and shook his head,””Of course I don’t believe it. How can I believe it?”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said with a smile,””If I say now that I will enter the top eight and be the first to fight, will you believe me?”

Ye Xunyang held his breath.

After a long while, ye Xunyang looked at Jiang Xiao, who was laughing and playing like a child, and shook his head gently.””No, I don’t believe it. This is too difficult for a medical support. The rules of this year’s preliminaries have changed. You’ve entered the semi-finals, but the next stage is a 1V1 elimination match with real weapons. ”

Jiang Xiao asked,’when will the show be broadcast?’

“I wanted to interview you, who has achieved excellent results, but now it seems that your goal is more than that.” Ye Xunyang smiled and said,”in that case …” If you are selected as the starting player of the national team, the interview will be broadcast. If you are eliminated, the interview will not be broadcast. How about it?”

He could tell that she was mostly teasing him.

However, Jiang Xiao said with a serious expression,””Then, when the show airs, if I say that I’ll break through the World Cup’s best ranking for the support department, will you believe me?”

Ye Xunyang’s eyes lit up and he said,”Oh, Jiang xiaopi!” I thought you were a child who loved to laugh and play, but now it seems that you are more … He’s more like a warrior. ”

Jiang Xiao looked at ye Xunyang with a serious expression and said,””I shouldn’t have appeared here.”

Ye Xunyang looked at Jiang Xiao silently and the interview between them seemed to have come to a standstill.

After a not-so-obvious editing, ye Xunyang said,””My colleague once used a sentence to describe your Star Warrior career. From the moment (you) awakened the star map, you have embarked on a path to the Holy Church. ”

Jiang Xiao asked, the sanctuary Road?

“What do you think?” ye Xunyang nodded.

“Ha.” Under the TV wall and outside the glass display cabinet of the shopping mall, Jiang Xiao lowered his head, lowered the brim of his hat, turned around, and entered the crowd.
