Nine Star Burden

Chapter 63: Stop?

At this moment, Zhu Wu suddenly leaped towards the keeling Zhu Wen, allowing Zhu Wu to step on his shoulder.

Zhu Wen then stood up and propelled him forwards.

Zhu Wu stepped on his brother’s shoulder and immediately flew outwards like an arrow that had left its bow!

With a whistling sound, Zhu Wu flew out and was almost parallel to the ground.
He then collided into the leading Gao Junchen.

Everything was happening as expected.
Zhu Wu reached out and hugged Gao Junchen’s legs and performed a somersault in the air.
Although he did not use too much force, he still managed to make the dazed Gao Junchen fly more than 20 meters away.

The “Black Bear” of Class 1’s face grew sullen and happened to run into Zhu Wu who was rolling and getting up from the ground.

At the back of Class 2, Yi Lianna’s Star Map was still brightly lit with four star slots.
She then tossed the fireball in her hands towards the target in the sky.

It was the Silver Quality Star Technique, Bursting Flames!

Seeing this, Gao Junwei panicked and exclaimed, “Junchen!”

In the base camp of the Year Three students.

Xia Yan couldn’t help herself and burst into laughter.
“Psht… Haha, this healing is really toxic.”

Han Jiangxue also applauded and nodded, clearly pleased with Jiang Xiao’s performance.

Behind the team, Su Rou shrieked in horror and asked, “What… what happened?”

All the messages popped up continuously:

“Cooperation! I finally saw some damned cooperation in the competition!”

“Is that kid with the Korean hairstyle a fool? He actually left his team and fought alone.
Is he confident of fighting four members all by himself?”

“Haha, he’s going to get slaughtered.
Haha, go ahead and pretend to be amazing.”

“He’s just a live target.
That Eurasian girl can shoot the living daylights out of him.”

“Touchwood, touchwood! You’ve got such a foul mouth!”

“Ah, I’m about to faint.
What’s going on? She can’t shoot him? Such a large live target and she can’t shoot him?”

“That Eurasian girl is doing it on purpose, isn’t she? Is it because she thinks he’s handsome?”

“Wonderful! Don’t hit him, please don’t hit him.”

“There’s a chance.
There’s still a chance.
There’s a chance for our Korean-style boy!”

The comments were increasing rapidly as all the viewers and spectators broke into an uproar.

At the instant that Jiang Xiao gave his blessing, everyone fell silent, for they all thought that Jiang Xiao had become a dimwit after getting a shock.

However, the combat skills and attacks of Class 2 were rather unhurried and everyone could tell that Jiang Xiao had deliberately healed them even though they did not understand the functions of his Medical Star Technique.

Apart from the students in Class 1, almost everyone else was cheering for the interesting change in the dynamics.

However, as Gao Junchen was thrown up into the sky and subjected to Class 2’s torment, the expressions on the students’ faces changed again.

Because Yi Lianna missed!

A burning fireball brushed past Gao Junchen and flew away… before exploding in the sky at a spot that was further away.

Zhu Wu was overwhelmed with regret.
He thought, I should have just punched Gao Junchen in the head as hard as I could back then!

Of course, logically speaking, Zhu Wu only had that one chance to punch him because what the “Black Bear” of Class 1 did next was the best evidence.

Jiang Xiao’s team did not know exactly what Gao Junchen’s defensive abilities were.
Compared to Zhu Wu’s punch, Yi Lianna’s Bursting Flames were undoubtedly more lethal and could be used twice!

Jiang Xiao’s Blessing Star Technique was also of Silver Quality and the effects were definitely not to be trifled with.
What if Zhu Wu’s punch was too destructive and caused the effects of Jiang Xiao’s Blessing to be downplayed?

Clearly, Bursting Flames was the best for hitting targets.

Even the coarse and thick-skinned White Ghouls could not take Bursting Flames lightly, let alone the High School students.

In the arena, Zhu Wen had already gone forth to support his brother while Jiang Xiao took Yi Lianna with him and retreated.
At least during this period of time, it was most important to ensure the output of the cannon.

However, a problem surfaced!

Yi Lianna’s first bomb missed!

Jiang Xiao paid attention to the formation of the arena while the Zhu brothers blocked the trio from the opponents’ team, leaving Jiang Xiao with no choice but to change his tactics.

“It doesn’t matter, Lianna, go forward!” Jiang Xiao shouted loudly, rushing directly to the spot where Gao Junchen was landing.

Clearly, the nearer they were to the target, the easier it was to hit accurately.

Jiang Xiao was eager and had to get ready.

Guilt and remorse were written all over Yi Lianna’s face as the Star Power fluctuated within her body.
All of a sudden, the fourth star slot lit up and a fireball condensed in her hand.
She followed Jiang Xiao and rushed forward while keeping her brown eyes fixed on the falling target in the sky, after which she tossed her fireball out menacingly.

Swish…

Yi Lianna stopped in her tracks.
The fireball darted towards Gao Junchen who was descending diagonally from above, but Jiang Xiao was still moving forward and sprinting with all his might.
A blazing fireball floated above his head.

At this moment, Gao Junchen had recovered from the shock.
In the end, he did not suffer any damage at all and was simply thrown into the sky.

Gao Junchen, who had snapped back to reality yet, realized that he did not have any leverage and strength to move his body.
He also noticed the flying fireball.

“Damn it!” Gao Junchen cursed in exasperation and clenched his fists, after which electricity flowed through his hand.
Charge!

Boom! Bingo!

Bang!

The fireball collided with Gao Junchen’s right fist and exploded completely.

The blazing flames engulfed Gao Junchen’s body and the explosions continued one after another, causing the loud sounds to fill the entire field.

“Jiang… Jiang Xiaopi!?!” Zhu Wen resisted “Black Bear’s” punch with all his might and he saw a figure shuttling past him.

The brothers seemed to have formed a copper and iron wall, blocking “Black Bear” and the skinny youth outside.

However, the ponytailed girl had never liked long wars and she had already kept her eyes locked on the lonely Yi Lianna standing at the back of the formation.

The formation on the football field became chaotic again.

The Zhu brothers, “Black Bear” and the skinny youth were engaged in an intense battle.

The ponytailed girl quickly dashed towards Yi Lianna who was all by herself.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao had already rushed to the rear of Class 1’s team formation and chased Gao Junchen who was blown away.

Yi Lianna was surprised and stared at the figure that was approaching, after which a ray of Cyan light radiated from her hand and she got into a standard fighting stance.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao roared from afar, “Bursting Flames! Bursting Flames!”

Yi Lianna responded instinctively.
As the only girl in the team, her character was obviously not as strong as the three boys, and everyone could see how strong they were.

Yi Lianna subconsciously put away Green Glow and began condensing the fireball again.

The ponytailed girl approached and looked at her with a sympathetic gaze as if she was about to defeat the Eurasian Rules Awakened Yi Lianna.

At the next moment, a ray of sacred light descended.

It was so rapid that the ponytailed girl held her breath!

What… what feeling is this?

The ponytailed girl felt warm all over and she was so comfortable that her every pore had opened up as she basked in the pleasure.

You can control your muscles, but you cannot control your nerves.

Distracted, the ponytailed girl’s pace began to get irregular and she quivered in pleasure, restricting herself from attacking.

Likewise, it also caused her defeat.

Yi Lianna felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Even though Jiang Xiaopi did not stand in front of her, she could still feel that he was looking after her.

The ponytailed girl quivered uncontrollably and staggered straight towards Bursting Flames that was coming her way.

A rumbling sound filled the air…

Amidst the dense sound of an explosion, the ponytailed girl was directly blasted away and her slender body rolled on the soft turf several times.
Before her body even stabilized, she was struck with another blow of Bursting Flames.

Bang!

Yi Lianna learned how terrifying Medical Awakened could be and how daunting the Blessing Star Technique was.
Most importantly, she couldn’t forget the way that the ponytailed girl was staring at her.

Her expression made her seem like she was looking at an abandoned orphan who was being blamed by her teammates.

At the same time, Jiang Xiao finally caught Gao Junchen who had fallen from the sky.
At this time, Gao Junchen’s clothes were tattered and he was severely wounded, with his flesh all torn and damaged.
He reeked of charred soot and blood was dripping down his body.

However, his eyes were still wide open and he seemed to be staring at the approaching figure.

“Xiaochen!” Gao Junwei exclaimed from the base of the Year Three students.
He then hollered angrily.
“Jiang Xiaopi! Stop!”

Stop!?!

No, your brother is too spoiled for thinking that he can undermine and bully anyone.

I can’t stop.

Jiang Xiao leaped up and flew towards the sky while his elbows emitted some green rays of light.

All of a sudden, the skinny youth cringed and seemed to have recalled the fear of being dominated by that iron elbow in the utility room that day.

Everyone was distracted in the arena.

Zhu Wen punched the skinny youth sharply and forcefully in his left rib.

However, the loud noise was drowned out by another louder one from far away!

The dense thud seemed to have struck everyone’s hearts.

It was still that ruthless stab of the sword, still that flying attack and iron elbow, still that shattering ground.

This time, there were no broken tiles and only a shallow pit.

Gao Junchen was elbowed in the jaw by Jiang Xiao and his entire body was embedded in the soft turf ground.

He almost passed out.

Whee!!!

The referee’s whistle instantly sounded.
“Gao Junchen and Wu Jingying have lost their combat abilities and are disqualified.
Hence, they can no longer be regarded as targets for the remaining attacks.”

At the same time, the skinny youth clutched his left rib in pain, raised his right hand, and kept waving it.

Zhu Wen immediately stopped attacking, for he did not want to be disqualified for flouting the rules.

On the battlefield, “Black Bear” looked miserable and broke away from the battle team.
He sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.

The referee whistled again and declared, “Class 2 of Year One wins!”

“AHHHH!”

“Hooray! Superb!”

“Champion! Champion! Champion!”

While the students of Class 2 were cheering, the Zhu brothers looked at each other smilingly before bumping chests.

So what if they’re Class 1?

So what if they’re elites?

We’ll beat them too!

Yi Lianna’s Star Map disappeared quickly and she sat on the ground, panting heavily while whipping out a Star Bead, which she quickly crushed.
A wave of Star Power then surged into her body and she seemed to be in a better state.

Jiang Xiao watched as a figure approached rapidly.

“Jiang Xiaopi! He’s already lost his combat abilities!” Gao Junwei barked.

“Are you the referee?” Jiang Xiao took a step back and let the medical staff take the unconscious Gao Junchen away.

With a menacing gaze, Gao Junwei barked angrily.
“You bastard! Are you blind? Can’t you see that he had already lost his combat abilities?”

“It turns out that you are not the referee.” Jiang Xiao glowered at Gao Junwei silently and was not in the least bit intimidated at all.
“I’m not a referee either, but I’m a fortune-teller.”

“What!?!” Gao Junwei barked, gritting his teeth.

“Would you like to have your fortune told? Who do you think you are?” Jiang Xiao said while staring at Gao Junwei with a smirk.
