Nine Star Burden Chapter 232 - Crazy Hinting?

Chapter 232: Crazy Hinting?

“That’s it, slash it!” Jiang Xiao yelled as he cast Blessings continuously while Xia Yan threw out her Flame Arc before das.h.i.+ng over, seemingly still worried.

After all, Jiang Xiao’s Blessing was intense. What if he revived the ugly stone monster?

However, Xia Yan had somewhat underestimated the ugly stone monsters. It would be impossible for a Flame Arc to break their bodies. It may be that Shen Hao had continuously used the Starfall Star Technique, which caused the stone monsters to seem like they were crumbly and easily broken.

Jiang Xiao also activated Nostalgia to give some a.s.surance for Shen Hao, who was the most intense output.

Of course, in order to be able to get recruited, Jiang Xiao also used Counter-current Light on Shen Hao.

A thick and dark ray of light landed on Shen Hao’s body, and the captain of the Victors Legion, Wei Zhi, standing at the side, appeared to be heartened and gratified. He looked at Jiang Xiao and exclaimed, “Great. Indeed, heroes are always young!”

Wei Zhi drove his scepter into the ground and gave his members Star Power while saying to Jiang Xiao, “Kid, once the situation is further controlled, you and I will rush in to see what kind of a d.a.m.ned place these hideous creatures originate from. How does that sound?”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

How? What do you mean how?

Where’s my reward?

What about my favor?

What about my bonus points for the college entrance examination?

Why are they all gone…

Of course, I didn’t stand up just for those. I mainly want to kill the ugly stone monsters that invaded my homeland.

Jiang Xiao made up his mind and said, “Okay, Captain! I’m a Year Three student from Jiangbin High School and my name is Jiang Xiao… pi. My name is Jiang Xiaopi.”

Wei Zhi nodded and said, “I recognize you. Your team won the champions.h.i.+p of the Provincial High School League previously. Indeed, you do live up to your reputation. Ever since the incident broke out, you’ve been behaving calmly and orderly. Your mind is clear and rational. Not only did you help our strongest output, Shen Hao, you even saved our frontliner, Yan Zebin. Not bad, not bad, you’re very capable!”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Do I need you to praise me?

The chaotic scene on the street is almost under control and we are about to enter the dark corridor soon. Why are you still saying such a thing?

I’m willing to hear it, but there’s a time and place for everything.

Jiang Xiao nodded while gesturing for Han Jiangxue to move forward. He chased the frontliner of the Victors Legion, Yan Zebin, and said, “Yes, as a Year Three student from Jiangbin High School, I should be brave enough to stand up when necessary. I’m not doing this for any rewards or bonus points for the college entrance examination. This is my home, how can I let others invade it?”

Wei Zhi said with a look of admiration, “Good! Let’s go, let’s charge in!”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

He thought for a long time and did not know how to put his mood and feelings into words.

After thinking about it for a long time, he summarized his feelings towards Wei Zhi—

Screw you…

This person has to suffer defeat and go through agony and despair before he will really appreciate your help and be truly aware of your value.

Otherwise, the situation will be like now.

Extremely awkward.

“Xiaopi?” Han Jiangxue asked with a worried expression. She then caught up with him, not thinking it would be a good decision to enter this new and unknown Dimensional s.p.a.ce.

However, Jiang Xiao gave her a firm look. Maybe nothing would happen after he entered, but that was also why it seemed to be very valuable.

Han Jiangxue exclaimed, “Jiang Xiaopi! You…”

Jiang Xiao whispered, “I will explain to you again when we go back. Be good and obedient.”

Han Jiangxue was speechless.

Everyone got rid of the hideous stone monsters that had scurried out and immediately dashed into the Dimensional s.p.a.ce on Central Street.

All of a sudden, there was pitch darkness.

Clairvoyant Jiang appeared again and grabbed Shen Hao’s hand before barking. “Hold up!”

Shen Hao also just came in. Although the entrance was a little bright, it was still too dark, and Shen Hao was still trying to adjust to the dark environment. Yet, he heard a sudden voice in his ear…

Due to the attachment of Nostalgia, Shen Hao, who was maniacally outputting, was full of vitality and a little dizzy. Jiang Xiao’s yelling gave him a great shock and caused him to s.h.i.+ver. He probably almost peed his pants and could not be bothered to care about Starfall…

Everyone also tensed up and cussed at Jiang Xiao, calling him the rascal who ruined things!

Where is this place?

So dark and gloomy!

People wished they could communicate silently and yet, you rascal actually yelled so loudly? Are you afraid that the beasts hiding in the dark won’t be able to find you?

Jiang Xiao activated Nostalgia again and all of a sudden, the dark golden halos began to appear.

Jiang Xiao thought about what he should say and told, “Seems like we didn’t trap them and hinder them from coming. Instead, the ones who can be revived have all already rushed out. The remaining ones didn’t revive.”

Wei Zhi used his vision to look at the dark golden halos, knowing that they were definitely creatures of other dimensions. However, he didn’t know their specific states. He hurriedly asked, “What do you mean “they didn’t revive”?”

“They’re all now in the form of stone sculptures. Judging from the monster distribution, wherever there is light from the door, there should be an awakened stone sculpture. They should be densely populated in the other areas.” Jiang Xiao walked forward and the radius of Nostalgia moved together with him, using him as the center point. It took in more and more stone sculptures and many more golden halos could be seen. He continued, “These stone sculptures did not revive because there is no light.”

“How did you know?” asked Wei Zhi with glistening eyes, seemingly agreeing with Jiang Xiao’s speculation.

“I can tell. There are so many similar monsters on the street and they’re all in the form of stone sculptures. Didn’t you see?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Wei Zhi seemed to have a moment of epiphany and said, “Oh, I see, you have the Night Vision Star Technique.”

As soon as Wei Zhi finished speaking, he began to find that something was amiss because he really knew Jiang Xiao’s ident.i.ty.

In a sense, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue were equally rare. Han Jiangxue was exceptionally talented as she had 30 star slots, which was hard to come by in a century. Jiang Xiao’s nine star slots were also a rare phenomenon that made him a “strange genius”…

Why would an Awakened with nine star slots use one star slot to acquire the Star Technique Night Vision? Was he crazy?

Jiang Xiao’s move made Wei Zhi feel relieved as he heard him reply, “No, I don’t have the Star Technique, Night Vision.”

There was no need to ask, then. It must be an additional attribute of some Star Technique.

To his surprise, Jiang Xiao continued, “If you’re sincere enough, you’ll see everything.”

Wei Zhi was dumbfounded.

Xia Yan was a strange creature. To be precise, women were strange creatures. She let her imagination run wild and suddenly thought of the time when she continuously launched multiple sneak attacks on Jiang Xiao in the morning. Whenever she opened the door, she would be greeted with the sight of Jiang Xiao staring at the wallpaper of his computer.

Upon hearing Jiang Xiao’s words, Xia Yan couldn’t help but wonder to herself, Could it be that he doesn’t need any equipment and only has to think about it…?

…

“Find a stone sculpture and try it. If you can revive it with light, my speculation should be correct.” Jiang Xiao continued, “However, there doesn’t seem to be any standing alone. It’s so dense here. Tsk, tsk, Nostalgia is really good. It’s dim and we can locate them without alarming them.”

Everyone nodded one after another. Although Jiang Xiao was a bit complacent, he was right.

“Hey, I have a suggestion, dear soldiers and police officers.” Jiang Xiao said to the blurry figures, “Since they’re not moving, let’s not move too. I reckon this Dimensional s.p.a.ce has to be destroyed. We can’t lose the Middle Street in Jiangbin City. Let the status quo remain and hand them over to the Wasteland Reclaimers when they’re here and let them destroy it, alright?”

At the end of the day, the Victors Legion and Star Warriors Armed Police Force were in charge of controlling the situation to avoid the disaster from escalating. Currently, they had been performing their task very well by reducing the number of casualties as far as possible. They had also completely controlled the newly opened Dimensional s.p.a.ce.

The two parties agreed with Jiang Xiao’s suggestion and they also knew that it would be impossible to keep the Dimensional s.p.a.ce. However, Jiang Xiao’s behavior was a little random and strange.

Fortunately, they were only focused on defending the country and all they thought about were their responsibilities and mission. Hence, they did not think much.

“You guys block the portal, then. Cover the light and we’ll go back,” Jiang Xiao said.

“Stay,” said Ye Ying, the pioneer of the Victors Legion. She continued, “Your Nostalgia is very functional. Since we are afraid of alarming them and cannot light up this s.p.a.ce, keep your Nostalgia going and track them until the rescue army arrives.”

Jiang Xiao scratched his head. It was exactly the same as in the dream. Previously, Ye Ying was also the one who made him activate Nostalgia and locate the enemies.

This remark reminded Jiang Xiao of something. He turned around and popped his head back to Earth to look around and make sure that no stone monsters had escaped. After ensuring that there would be no sneak attacks, he moved back.

“Of course! As an Awakened Student of Jiangbin High School Year Three Cla.s.s 1, I must do my best to help the Victors Legion and the Star Warriors Armed Police Force. I must solve my country’s problems and resolve society’s issues. I must serve the citizens…”

Wei Zhi kept his hands behind his back and nodded profusely. “Good! Good! Good! Good enlightenment, kid!”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Wow, this person!

Are you tired of living?

Wei Zhi said, “If our little friend didn’t remind us, we’d probably fight in vain again. Not only will we have plenty of injured and casualties, but we might also lose control of the door. If this matter can be solved peacefully, I’ll definitely give you credit!”

A few Star Warrior policemen in their uniforms had sullen expressions and were clearly fully alert and on guard. However, they responded to Wei Zhi.

The condition was that the crisis had to be overcome successfully. After the condition was fulfilled, the Star Warriors Armed Police Force would truthfully report to the superiors what Jiang Xiao and others had done.

Jiang Xiao rejoiced and chuckled while saying, “Spatial Star Beads are great. An additional five points would allow me to be ahead of plenty of people, but is that my purpose? It’s the Lunar New Year and I just want everyone to be home safe to commemorate! I saw an incident and decided to leave! Uh… I mean, I’m doing justice! Yes! Standing up and doing justice!”

Han Jiangxue felt her face burning as she quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
