Qin Wangchuan's heart was collapsing, but later, thinking that Jiang Xiao was an adopted child, he felt relieved.

Looking at Han Jiangxue, ungreedy and full of integrity, this is the true descendant of the Pioneering Han family.

In reality,

Han Jiangxue didn't have much affection for the Pioneer Army. She knew very little about this secret army, and her parents had died on a mission with this team. It was difficult for Han Jiangxue to have much affection for the Pioneer Army.

From beginning to end, Han Jiangxue's attitude was very clear: For now, my goal is to pass the college entrance examination. Everything else is out of the question.

She gave up the various favorable conditions offered by the Pioneer Army, just wanting to walk her own path.

For any child, wanting to see the outside world through their own efforts, such a belief is understandable.

However, after the two pioneers said goodbye and left, Jiang Xiao caught up with Qin Wangchuan at the stairwell and stated his intentions: I really want to be a Pioneer Apprentice.

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao, amused and exasperated, and explained, "If you become an apprentice, you won't have your own time. Until you pass the assessment and become a formal pioneer, you will live with your teacher. Most of the time will be spent in the military camp, and there will also be some missions accompanying the army into different dimensions. So you can't be an apprentice to both sides."

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao, who was frowning in thought, and added, "Moreover, the Pioneer Army and the Night Watch Army are the top two teams in China, and they are absolutely competitive. Although I am willing to define this as 'healthy competition,' but..."

Qin Wangchuan shrugged his shoulders, the meaning self-evident.

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "But my Night Watch teacher promised me that I can go to school normally in another city and will teach me, train me, and participate in missions in my spare time. Weren't my parents not real soldiers? But 'external support'."

Qin Wangchuan was stunned, and exchanged a glance with Zhang Bingyang. What Jiang Xiao said was true. The Han couple were not real soldiers, but the kind with particularly strong strength and excellent personal qualities, who became part of the Pioneer Army after strict review.

The Han couple didn't train in the army on weekdays, didn't participate in any military camp activities, and only went on missions when there was real "pioneering."

But the Han couple were formal pioneers, not pioneer apprentices.

Apprentices have to receive training and learning, and with the positions and authority of Zhang Bingyang and Qin Wangchuan, it was difficult to agree to Jiang Xiao's request on the spot. They had to go back and discuss it with their leaders.

As the child of a pioneer martyr, Jiang Xiao's status was indeed unique. If it were someone else, this excessive request would probably have been kicked aside directly.

However, Qin Wangchuan was quite intelligent and analyzed a lot of information from Jiang Xiao's words.

First of all, why did the Night Watch Army want Jiang Xiao to become an apprentice? Undoubtedly, Jiang Xiao's strength and quality were definitely up to par!

Secondly, what kind of talent could agree to Jiang Xiao's such rude conditions, and even make an exception for him from the beginning of his "apprentice" status, allowing him to study outside and receive Night Watch Army training in his spare time?

How high was this mysterious Night Watchman's position?

How outstanding was Jiang Xiao to be treated so exceptionally by the other party?

Moreover, what does it mean to go on missions in "spare" time? Where does the Night Watchman have any free time? The Night Watchman's mission is to be pinned down in one place.

Enduring loneliness, withstanding solitude!

In addition to knowledge, tactical literacy, and hard power, tempering the mind will take up a considerable proportion of Jiang Xiao's training, so what does it mean to go on missions in spare time?

With such training, how could Jiang Xiao develop a qualified composure? This simply doesn't conform to the nature of the "Night Watchman" job.

Qin Wangchuan's heart skipped a beat. As intelligent as he was, he deduced a conclusion: The person Jiang Xiao agreed to probably wasn't a regular Night Watchman, but a soldier with a special identity in the Night Watch Army - a Light Chaser!

Thinking of this, Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao with new eyes, and really had the idea of accepting Jiang Xiao as a disciple in his heart.

In fact, if the siblings agreed, then Zhang Bingyang and Qin Wangchuan would be the siblings' one-on-one tutors.

Zhang Bingyang is a powerful magic-type.

Qin Wangchuan is a wise milk-type support character.

Poor Xia Yan, seems to have become a freebie?

For Jiang Xiao, the conditions offered by the Pioneer Army were simply too generous, and he was really tempted.

But Er Wei had a life-or-death friendship with him. Even if Er Wei couldn't give Jiang Xiao everything the Pioneer Army promised, it was impossible for Jiang Xiao to change his mind.

Jiang Xiao had already promised her and given her his word.

What Jiang Xiao didn't know was that his words made Qin Wangchuan even more interested in him, but Qin Wangchuan didn't show it on his face. Since Han Jiangxue had clearly rejected the Pioneer Army, they immediately retreated.

Jiang Xiao tried to fight for it, but found that it was hopeless, so he stopped insisting.

However, when he returned to the principal's office to look for Han Jiangxue, he found that Principal Yan had handed Han Jiangxue two small square boxes and also gave Xia Yan a small square box.

Jiang Xiao: ???

Principal Yan still had a kind and benevolent look on his face. Facing Han Jiangxue, he was full of relief and admiration. He asked about Han Jiangxue's daily studies, encouraged her a few words, and then let the trio leave.

Before the trio left, Principal Yan specifically instructed Xia Yan: Repair the door.

Xia Yan's face was slightly red. Since she had accepted the gift, having just received a precious Star Bead, she hurriedly apologized to Principal Yan and promised to find someone to replace the principal's door immediately.

It wasn't that Principal Yan was short of the money, it was just a door.

The main reason was that Principal Yan was startled by Jiang Xiao, whom Xia Yan had kicked out earlier, and the cigarette he was holding burned his hand...

Well,

So this door must be repaired by Xia Yan.

Outside the door, Jiang Xiao couldn't wait to take the two small square boxes from Han Jiangxue's hand. The moment his finger touched the Star Bead, the information given in the inner star map was: Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead!

2 Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads!

Jiang Xiao almost cried,

So online begging works!

So crying, making a fuss, and threatening suicide really works!

Principal Yan really gave a reward, and it was 2 Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads!

Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan's hand, but the other party was very insensible, as if she didn't see Jiang Xiao's eager eyes.

Jiang Xiao used the same trick again and directly went to hold hands.

Congratulations to the male and female guests for holding hands successfully!

Yes, Jiang Xiao was a little dumbfounded because he succeeded in holding hands.

Last time, on the award stage of the provincial league, Jiang Xiao made such a move to see what Xia Yan's Star Bead was. At that time, Xia Yan directly let go of her palm and threw the Star Bead to Jiang Xiao.

But this time, she actually held Jiang Xiao's hand back!?

Xia Yan held Jiang Xiao's hand, went around in front of him, and took the opportunity to put her arm around Jiang Xiao's shoulder. This action made Jiang Xiao very awkward. He only heard Xia Yan say, "You want them all? How are you going to want them?"

Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw Xia Yan's fake smile, and couldn't help but retort, "It's just an analogy, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"You're too greedy." Xia Yan lowered her head slightly and stared seriously at Jiang Xiao's eyes.

Although Jiang Xiao had grown a lot in the past six months and was already over 175 cm tall, the tall Xia Yan was still a little taller than him.

Jiang Xiao rarely saw her serious look and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "This..."

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan looked at Jiang Xiao, then tilted her head and looked at Han Jiangxue, and suddenly showed a Shiba Inu-like smile on her face: "It's more like I want them all."

*Bang!*

Xia Yan was kicked out by Han Jiangxue...

Jiang Xiao clapped his hands repeatedly, cheering in his heart!

Heaven's retribution is a cycle!

Heaven spares no one!

Xia Xiaochai flew out, but the small square box in her hand was left behind.

Jiang Xiao opened it and pretended to carefully observe it. In fact, the inner star map had already given the information.

This is a Fallen Shadow Assassin Star Bead.

The reward given by Principal Yan was exactly the same as the reward given by the competition.

Was it a case of great minds think alike?

Or... hey? Principal Yan is such a respected figure, he should also be a member of the Star Warrior Association, right?

These Star Beads, I'm afraid Principal Yan coordinated them from the Beijiang Province Star Warrior Association, right?

Or, maybe he is still a member of the National Star Warrior Association.

Logically speaking, the Star Skills contained in the Fallen Shadow Assassin Star Bead are all very good: Shadow Blade, Shadow Blade Protection, Shadow Blade Fury. They are both offensive and defensive, and also come with soul damage, which is enough to take Xia Yan's strength to the next level.

It's just a pity that Xia Yan is only in the late stage of the Nebula Realm. The Star Slots available to her at this stage are already full. It should be unrealistic to rush to the Star River Realm in less than three months.

Not to mention the Star River Realm, I'm afraid even the peak of the Nebula Realm is very difficult.

This Fallen Shadow Assassin Star Bead can only be used after she goes to college and advances to the Star River Realm.

Of course, the premise is that she can break through the Star River Realm.

Jiang Xiao's worries are not unfounded, after all, others don't have an inner star map like Jiang Xiao, and can use skill points to forcefully breakthrough realms.

In society, there are too many examples here. Every small hurdle in each major realm, and the major hurdle when breaking through the realm, may intercept an Awakened, preventing them from improving their realm for the rest of their lives.

The Star River Realm is an important watershed.

After reaching the Star River Realm, physical fitness and realm improvement are no longer so closely related.

Reaching the Star River Realm means that you have already entered the house.

This means that you have reached the minimum requirement for a real Star Warrior's physical fitness.

Your body has become your solid backing, and has become your solid foundation. No matter how high you want to fly, your body can carry your dreams.

From this moment on, if you want to improve your realm, it really depends on your aptitude, your hard work, and your understanding of Star Studies.

Of course, these things are like sailing against the current. If you advance to the Star River Realm and then start to degenerate, stop training, and start eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, I don't know if the realm will drop...

Speaking of which, if it really can drop, will the ninth and subsequent Star Slots be annihilated? Can the Star Beads embedded in the Star River Realm be returned?

Jiang Xiao's mind went wild, thinking for a long time, shaking his head repeatedly, trying to clear his mind, and brought his thoughts back to consider his own Star Skills.

Voice of Silence, Gold Quality Lv.2 (9100)

And Jiang Xiao now has 6 Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads, which can be upgraded to Gold Quality Lv.8 (9100).

Can I just go for it!?

Or... really wait for Little Jiangxue to break through the Star River Realm and let her try to absorb the Voice of Silence?

Logically speaking, Noble Platinum is still very attractive to Jiang Xiao.

Especially the Voice of Silence, a divine skill, who knows what kind of terrifying effect it will have after upgrading to Platinum Quality.
