Chapter 192 Thighs

Far away in Zhongcheng County, the "thighs" that Su Rou was thinking about had already eaten breakfast. The four-person team was gathered in Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan's room, studying the team information.

Although the match list hadn't been released yet, according to the normal format, as the first place in the preliminary round, they should be fighting against the eighth place to compete for a spot in the semi-finals.

Although it was first vs. eighth, with the intention of allowing strong teams to advance to the next round, this kind of single-elimination match had a lot of uncertainty.

Maybe a dark horse would be born; after all, it was a one-game decider.

Li Weiyi looked at the top eight list, frowning, and said, "Gao Junwei has latched onto another thigh. He really has some skill. Our team took his medal, but he still managed to get into the top eight."

"If he hadn't met us, he probably could have taken first place," Xia Yan pouted, seemingly a little disgruntled.

Han Jiangxue said softly, "Xiao Pi's choice was correct. Watching from the sidelines was the ideal situation. At the time, things were too chaotic. We needed to maintain the integrity of our team. The primary goal was to retreat unscathed. The preliminary round doesn't matter; the rematch is what's important."

"Ugh, I didn't blame him," Xia Yan muttered quietly, turning to look at Jiang Xiao, and said, "Say something, Little Ice Cube?"

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Xia Yan snorted, "Those two little bun heads seem to like you a lot. Let me see, tsk tsk... They're ranked third. They're in Group B, so we probably won't run into them."

Jiang Xiao said in a low voice, "Alright, alright, don't be jealous."

Xia Yan glared at Jiang Xiao with her beautiful eyes, "What did you say? Me? Jealous?"

Li Weiyi, seeing that the two elementary schoolers were about to start arguing again, quickly said, "Wu Haoyang and Gao Junwei should have been fighting to the death. How did they both get into the rematch..."

Xia Yan said, "You should be more surprised that Zhang Hui took his team all the way to seventh place."

Li Weiyi: "......"

Zhang Hui was indeed surprising. Now, whenever Jiang Xiao thought of Zhang Hui's skinny appearance, the word "carry" would pop into his head.

"Zhang Mingming, the commander of Jiangbin No. 3 Middle School, directly abandoned all the spoils and Gao Junwei, and left with the shield warrior Zhang Weiliang," Han Jiangxue said, frowning, her voice clear and cold. "This person is not to be underestimated. Few people have that kind of determination to cut off their own limb to survive."

Li Weiyi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Gao Junwei was abandoned?"

Han Jiangxue nodded, and said, "Yes. I have to say, these people are far more skilled than their peers. Zhang Mingming and Zhang Weiliang alone robbed four teams in front of the portal back to Earth. Although the abandoned Gao Junwei lost, his team successfully qualified."

Jiang Xiao said in surprise, "Wu Haoyang won against Gao Junwei? Where did you get that information?"

Han Jiangxue gestured towards the laptop on the table in the distance, and said, "The teacher sent the videos last night. You and Li Weiyi can go take a look."

Jiang Xiao and Li Weiyi hurriedly went over, opened the laptop, and searched for the recorded videos.

The teacher not only thoughtfully labeled the perspective name, but also cropped them out.

The battle between Gao Junwei and Wu Haoyang began with a contest of who could shout the loudest.

Gao Junwei: "Get out!"

Gold-Quality Star Technique * Juhou (Fear Howl)!

Even through the screen, Jiang Xiao could feel the panic and fear of the bun-headed miss. Their faces were pale, their limbs were trembling, and they were backing away.

Wu Haoyang: "Presumptuous!"

Gold-Quality Star Technique * Zhanhao (War Howl)!

Even through the screen, Jiang Xiao could feel the miss's surge of fighting spirit. They abruptly steadied their feet, their breathing became heavier, their foreheads bulged with veins, their blood was boiling, and they couldn't wait to fight the other side to the death!

"Heh, this is a fake Yaksha running into a real fierce ghost," Jiang Xiao said. "Is that the Ghost Tiger's War Howl?"

Li Weiyi, on the side, said thoughtfully, "The effect looks very similar. I remember now. We felt this kind of Star Technique when our three teams met."

Han Jiangxue said with certainty, "Yes, it's War Howl."

She was still pleased that Jiang Xiao could recognize Wu Haoyang's Star Technique.

Li Weiyi nodded, and said, "A Ghost Fox running into a Ghost Tiger is indeed a fake Yaksha running into a real fierce ghost."

Jiang Xiao sighed, "Da Meng Province is vast after all."

When Li Weiyi saw Gao Junwei being sent flying with a single slash, his expression couldn't help but turn serious, and he said, "This Wu Haoyang is very strong. He's a student from Beijiang High School. There aren't many who can face Gao Junwei head-on."

Han Jiangxue said, "Yeah, you two should just take a look at it as a way to understand him. Their team is ranked third, in Group B. We won't run into his team for now. The main thing is to watch Gao Junwei's team."

Jiang Xiao silently watched the one-on-one battle. Although he looked down on Gao Junwei, he had to admit that Gao Junwei did represent the top level of high school students in Beijiang Province.

This Tang sword danced up and down, the skill was exquisite, the advances and retreats were well-founded, and coupled with the special Star Technique, he fought Wu Haoyang to a standstill.

This also showed Wu Haoyang's strength from another angle.

"Is that faint red glow on the blade the effect of Xue Ya (Blood Fang)?" Jiang Xiao pressed the pause button, and asked.

Xia Yan was slightly surprised, and clicked her tongue in wonder, "Tsk tsk, kid, not bad, you've got a good eye."

The main reason was that she didn't recognize what that Star Technique was the first time she saw it.

It wasn't that she couldn't recognize it, but that she really didn't think about it that way.

Star Technique * Xue Ya (Blood Fang), from a three-star creature, Ghost Wolf.

Despite its domineering name, it was a low-quality Bronze Star Technique.

Blood Fang would add a slight tearing effect, causing additional slight tearing damage to both the human body and its defensive equipment and weapons.

The damage effect of this Bronze quality Star Technique was indeed minimal.

Under normal circumstances, equipment and weapons are of good quality, and this slight tearing effect is difficult to exert its due effect.

In terms of functionality alone, although they are both Bronze quality, "Blood Fang" is definitely not as good as "Qing Mang (Cyan Edge)."

But what is particularly interesting is that although Blood Fang is applied to a single person, it is a strange "group" Star Technique.

Because Blood Fang has a very special attribute:

Within a certain range, the more creatures use the Blood Fang Star Technique, the stronger its effect will be.

The Star Techniques themselves will influence each other and strengthen each other!

As a rare gregarious creature among three-star creatures, Ghost Wolves always appear in groups.

This Star Technique is special here. Although it is only a Bronze quality Star Technique, in actual use, due to the Ghost Wolves' gregarious, companion hunting, and other attributes, the effect of Blood Fang is almost far beyond the Silver quality, and may even reach the Gold quality!

It was precisely because of this that Xia Yan didn't think that Wu Haoyang would absorb this kind of Star Technique. She didn't think about it that way.

Wu Haoyang was just one person. In his team, he was the only melee fighter. He didn't have a group of Ghost Wolf teammates. What would he do to absorb this kind of Star Technique? No one would cooperate with him.

Even if there were mages or healers willing to squander their Star Slots for him, there would only be four people at most. Even if all four people activated Blood Fang, how good could the effect be?

At least dozens of people would have to activate it at the same time to see some effect.

Another reason why Xia Yan didn't recognize this Star Technique was because although this Blood Fang was a Bronze quality Star Technique, it didn't belong to the basic Star Techniques.

Because Ghost Wolves are produced in the three-star creature zone, that is a genuine dangerous area and is not open to the public.

There are mysterious Ghost Foxes there that understand "Juhou (Fear Howl)" and come and go without a trace.

There are also invincible Ghost Tigers that understand "Zhanhao (War Howl)".

There are groups of Ghost Wolves, as well as all kinds of strange alien creatures.

Except for official organizations that enter to obtain resources, any "Starry Sky Below" with a danger level of three cannot be opened to the public.

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up, and said, "I finally know why I feel that he is full of momentum and better than others."

Xia Yan tilted her head, and said, "How?"

"Ghost Wolf three-star techniques: Howl, Sharp, Blood Fang. This kid has 'Blood Fang', and may also have Howl and Sharp," Jiang Xiao guessed.

Jiang Xiao continued: "Does he always add the 'Howl' Star Technique whenever he speaks at a critical moment? That's why we feel a little timid and flustered? That's why we think he has a special momentum and is invincible? It's best not to provoke him?"

Li Weiyi nodded, seemingly thinking of the scene where Wu Haoyang, with his own strength, made the two teams of Jiangbin No. 3 Middle School and Jiangbin No. 1 Middle School all stay and dare not move.

The Bronze-quality Howl is indeed not as good as the Gold-quality Fear Howl.

Fear Howl can make people pee their pants with one shout.

Howl definitely doesn't have such an effect, but it is the type that moistens things silently...

"Wow! Uncomfortable. I just said, I always feel that Wu Haoyang's figure is so tall and mighty, and I have a inexplicable admiration and respect for him," Jiang Xiao said unhappily, "Damn it, this kid is bluffing me."

"Didn't you leave him out in the snow?" Xia Yan was amused and laughed, "It's as if you didn't bluff him."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and suddenly pressed pause, because on the screen, Wu Haoyang showed his Star Chart!

Jiang Xiao carefully checked Wu Haoyang's Star Chart: "25 Star Slots, 2 Bronze, 5 Silver, 1 Gold, is this Star Chart... Green Dragon Crescent Blade?"

Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly, "Keep watching, the knife is pretty good."
