Jiang Xiao was excited for a long time, overjoyed, staring at the "Platinum Quality" back and forth, feeling like he was dreaming.

Right, there's still a Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead in my hand. What should I do with it?

Should I give it to Han Jiangxue?

Uh...

My Resentment and Light of Countercurrent are both Gold quality Lv.8. Absorbing this one will make them Lv.9. Just one more, and I'll have two more Platinum quality Divine Skills!

It's really frustrating.

If Han Jiangxue absorbs Voice of Silence, that's fine, but if she absorbs Resentment of Bronze quality, it's basically useless, after all, she can't upgrade the quality of her Star Techniques.

As for the Light of Countercurrent, I have this Star Technique, and it's the enlarged and thickened "big water pipe" version. A normal Light of Countercurrent isn't worthy of occupying one of Han Jiangxue's Star Slots.

Jiang Xiao thought and thought. He's already come this far, just one step away...

The Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead in his hand disappeared without a trace.

Resentment, Gold Quality Lv.8 → 9.

Light of Countercurrent, Gold Quality Lv.8 → 9.

Voice of Silence, Platinum Quality Lv.0 → Lv.0 (1/10)

Should I go find the leaders again and ask for a few Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads?

Wouldn't that seem particularly shameless?

Uh...

Come to think of it,

Winning on the arena is what's truly honorable, right? Losing is what's truly shameful, right?

Platinum Resentment and Platinum Light of Countercurrent can help me a lot, allowing us to shine brightly.

A person like Jiang Xiao can completely break free from inner struggles and easily get on the road in just a few thoughts...

"Little Pi, how is it?" Xia Yan's soft inquiry came from outside the door.

Although Jiang Xiao's inner struggle didn't take long, he stared at the "Platinum Quality" and grinned foolishly for a while.

Xia Yan is an impatient person. She had been standing at the door, her ear pressed against the door, carefully listening to the movements inside.

Although Xia Yan has a husky living in her heart, she also knows the importance of upgrading quality, so she suppressed her temper, patiently waited outside, and didn't dare to disturb Jiang Xiao.

But, as time passed, she faintly heard Jiang Xiao laughing?

Xia Yan couldn't bear it any longer, bent her fingers, and gently knocked on the door: "Little Pi?"

Han Jiangxue couldn't help but look over, looking at Xia Yan with a reproachful expression. Sitting on the bed pretending to watch TV, she reached out a hand and flicked a whip.

Xia Yan was startled, and flames quickly rose on her arm, covering it with a thick layer of Star Power to resist.

The golden Torchfire Whip wrapped around Xia Yan's arm. Han Jiangxue gently tugged, pulling Xia Yan over.

It was at this moment that Xia Yan froze.

Because Xia Yan clearly felt the change in Han Jiangxue's strength. Xia Yan thought that this situation would be a stalemate tug-of-war, but she didn't expect to be directly pulled over by Han Jiangxue.

But Xia Yan is Xia Yan after all. Although shocked in her heart, she immediately shifted her attention.

Because she found herself pouncing into Han Jiangxue's arms. Not only did Xia Yan no longer resist, but she also added force to her feet, performing a move of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Han Jiangxue was taken aback,忍了又忍(ren le you ren, endured again and again), almost using Flamefire Rejection to push Xia Yan away.

Using the whip was already a punishment for Xia Yan, after all, she disturbed Jiang Xiao. If she used Flamefire Rejection again, Xia Yan would probably really cry.

Han Jiangxue gave up Flamefire Rejection, and Xia Yan got her wish.

"Dong!"

The two fell on the bed, embracing each other.

As for why there was a "dong" sound... it was because, in Han Jiangxue's panic and Xia Yan's excitement, their foreheads made contact first, colliding together.

Although the two looked embarrassed hugging each other and rolling on the bed, they both pouted, covered their heads, and had tears in their eyes from the pain, looking really synchronized...

At the same time, Jiang Xiao walked out of the bathroom and happened to see this scene, almost dying of laughter.

To be honest, Jiang Xiao's first reaction wasn't to shout "You scoundrel!", but to think of a news story from around the New Year.

It was said that a husky saw its owner come home, and it was so excited that it jumped from the third floor, knocking the owner to the ground and fracturing their bones, successfully sending the owner to the hospital...

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue's pouting, aggrieved little appearance, and wanted to make a sad expression at her.

But... he couldn't do it.

Why?

Because Jiang Xiao was busy being happy and couldn't be sad at all.

Being able to make Han Jiangxue show this expression, Xia Yan was simply a god-like existence.

After a long while, the "sad" atmosphere eased.

Jiang Xiao walked over. Under Xia Yan's "murderous" gaze, white light appeared in Jiang Xiao's hands. One hand on each of their foreheads.

"How did it go?" Han Jiangxue asked. After being baptized by multiple Blessings, the two girls had a high resistance to this simplified version of Blessing and didn't show much unusual reaction.

Jiang Xiao had a smile on his face, finding it hard not to think about the scene just now.

Fortunately, this smile was taken as a sign of success, and Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan both looked happy.

Jiang Xiao simply went along with it and nodded, saying: "I've used Silence many times, and I've trained a lot. I was just one step away, needing the Star Bead to help me break through the quality. I succeeded just now."

Xia Yan licked her soft lips, raised her head, and her eyes were fiery, like a shark that smelled blood: "Platinum Quality?"

Hearing this, Han Jiangxue also realized that what Jiang Xiao was doing was truly an unprecedented feat!

Unfortunately,

History did not record Jiang Xiao's name in the first place, because Jiang Xiao was destined to hide all of this.

Jiang Xiao didn't care about this. To him, brocade robes are for traveling at night.

"Let me see." Xia Yan said quickly.

Jiang Xiao nodded immediately, with no reason to refuse, but he specifically instructed: "We agreed, no pouncing and bumping my head! I don't have Little Jiangxue's iron head!"

Xia Yan: ???

Han Jiangxue's face turned red. She wanted to say something, but it eventually turned into a cough: "You... cough cough..."

Jiang Xiao was stunned.

What do I even need Voice of Silence for?

My trash talk also has the effect of Voice of Silence?

Look at Little Jiangxue, she's almost coughing up internal injuries...

Looking at Han Jiangxue's increasingly cold eyes, Jiang Xiao was startled and quickly said with a smile: "I'll show you my Star Chart."

As he said that, Jiang Xiao directly unfolded his Big Dipper Nine Star Chart.

Instantly,

The room was filled with starlight.

In the spoon-shaped Big Dipper Nine Star Chart, 1 Silver, 3 Gold, 1 Platinum.

Because each of Jiang Xiao's Star Beads had absorbed the full Star Technique, although Jiang Xiao had many Star Techniques, the number of Star Slots occupied was actually very small.

All in all, he had only used five Star Slots.

Others may not know, but Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan were very clear that these five Star Slots contained a full eleven Star Techniques! And all of them were high-quality Star Techniques!

Even those who didn't know the truth, when they saw a child with only 5 Star Slots lit up, but with a combination of 1 Silver, 3 Gold, and 1 Platinum, would probably be shocked, right?

Most people should rub their eyes and think they were seeing things, right?

"This is Platinum?" Xia Yan's eyes were dazed. She straightened her body on the bed and reached out to touch the quietly floating Star Chart.

It was Platinum.

And it was Noble Platinum.

The color of the lit-up Silver Star Slot was similar to that of the Platinum Star Slot, but upon closer inspection, one could indeed see the difference. After all, the quality was different, and the temperament revealed was definitely different.

Although only Voice of Silence had reached Platinum quality in that one Star, three Techniques, this Star Slot still changed its color and texture, appearing before everyone's eyes, like a dream.

"Have you never seen a Platinum Star Slot or Platinum Star Technique before?" Jiang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked quietly.

Xia Yan's eyes were dazed, and her slender fingers gently tapped the Platinum Star Slot, hooking the floating layers of stardust, winding around the Star Slot, as if she was depicting something.

Jiang Xiao continued to ask: "Neither does Uncle Xia?"

Xia Yan shook her head and murmured softly: "I don't know, I've never seen it."

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly. Xia Shanhai, a person of that level, doesn't have Platinum Star Techniques?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen a Platinum Star Slot on Erwei's body either.

She's a member of the Night Watch Army's special team - the Light Chasing Squad.

Although it's the last-ranked tail feather team in the Light Chasing Squad, the level of the army is still there.

Is Platinum quality really that rare?

So... have I finally evolved into Pi God?

While he was thinking, he heard Xia Yan's low murmur: "Little Pi, you use Blessing more often. It must be that you don't have enough Star Beads. I must buy you a lot of White Ghoul Witch Star Beads to make this Star Chart even more beautiful."

Jiang Xiao lowered his head and saw Xia Yan's dazed appearance.

So,

Does she like shiny things, or does she like my Star Chart?

Or... could it be that she likes me?

You scoundrel!

It's fine if you're falling into depravity yourself, but you want to drag me along? I also swore the same oath as you!

Dream on! Xia Yan!

I am the father you will never get!
