Chapter 137 Experiment

Jiang Xiao was eager to experiment with infusing high-quality Star Beads, so he urged Xia Yan to act quickly.

Of course, Xia Yan was also a beneficiary of the Reverse Flow Light. As someone whose Star Power was forcibly upgraded by Han Jiangxue, she was also very interested in the experiment proposed by Jiang Xiao and readily agreed.

The next morning, the two set off for the Xueyuan (Snowy Plains) of Jiannan Village.

Han Jiangxue also wanted to help, but she couldn't. She was already at the Xinghe (Star River) stage, and was absolutely forbidden from entering beginner training grounds like the Xueyuan. In fact, she was barred from entering most of the otherworldly training grounds open to the public.

At this time, her membership in the Xing Xie (Star Association) and her status as a university student were very useful. Under the organization of the Xing Xie, its members could enter some otherworldly spaces that were not open to the public.

And in the Xingwu (Star Martial) University, students also had various practical courses where instructors would take them to otherworldly spaces for training. A Xinghe stage student like Han Jiangxue should be training in higher-level areas.

Getting back on track, Xia Yan drove her Land Rover all the way into Jiannan Village with Jiang Xiao.

However, as they got closer to the official training ground, Xia Yan's expression became more and more puzzled.

Jiang Xiao sat in the passenger seat, watching Xia Yan's curious look, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yan: "They've changed."

Jiang Xiao: "What's changed?"

Xia Yan looked at the soldiers standing guard on both sides and said, "The soldiers have all changed. The last unit was stationed here for more than two years. Since I entered high school, they've been guarding here. I was basically familiar with these soldiers, but now I don't recognize a single one."

Xia Yan muttered to herself in confusion, "Was the entire garrison cleaned out because of the last foreign mercenary invasion? That's not right. After Jiannan Village reopened to the public, I came here, and the garrison hadn't changed."

Jiang Xiao wondered to himself if it had anything to do with Gao Junwei and his mother.

Thinking this, the two parked the car, and Jiang Xiao, holding the steel giant blade, carefully got out of the car, fearing that he might accidentally provoke the soldiers' guns and cannons.

Under the strict inspection of the soldiers, Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan finally walked into the gate of the town government. Although the garrison had changed, the internal layout of the town government had not changed at all.

Jiang Xiao verified his identity, registered, and once again enjoyed the special treatment of a martyr's child, without having to pay the entrance fee. Then, he smoothly passed through security and entered the locker room.

While Xia Yan paid and registered, she curiously inquired about the whereabouts of the previous army, but was coldly rejected by the soldiers.

Xia Yan, feeling snubbed, also entered the locker room and took out the giant blade that had been left there for a long time.

The two were dressed almost identically, in snow camouflage suits, white cotton hats, goggles, military backpacks, and giant blades in hand. They walked through a detection device that looked like a security gate, and the detected total Star Power did not exceed the maximum standard.

Although Xia Yan was at the peak of the Xingyun (Star Cloud) stage, she was still within the scope of the Xingyun stage and was not turned away.

The two stepped into the otherworldly space gate guarded by the soldiers, and gusts of cold wind hit their faces, causing Jiang Xiao to shiver.

Finally,

I, Jiang Xiao, am back!

My dream started here. This time, I'm back to renew my... to renew my dream!

"Southeast," Xia Yan pulled down her goggles, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and shouted loudly.

The weather in the Xueyuan today was not good. The wind was strong, and a mouthful of wind and snow would fill your mouth if you opened it.

Jiang Xiao nodded. The faint aurora in the sky was obscured by the howling wind and snow, and the harshness of the environment was intensifying, with visibility getting lower and lower.

Xia Yan strode forward, sinking deeply into the snow with each step. The thick snow even submerged her ankles.

After walking for about half an hour, Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan finally encountered a familiar figure—a Bai Gui (White Ghoul)!

This Bai Gui was about 1.8 meters tall, strong and sturdy. It was a solitary hunter, and had just killed one of its own kind before Jiang Xiao and the others arrived, and was currently eating.

Each time this Yuan Gui (Ape Ghoul) opened its bloody mouth, a large amount of wind and snow would pour in, but it didn't care. Perhaps it was too eager for food, as it was still tearing at the corpse and feasting when Jiang Xiao and the others arrived within 20 meters of it.

The scene was extremely cruel, much like the repeated trampling and tearing of the love of the "spare tires."

Xia Yan patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder, drawing his attention, and nodded to him gently, then walked around the Bai Gui.

Jiang Xiao understood Xia Yan's meaning. Judging from her actions, she was probably checking whether there were other trainees nearby.

Putting everything else aside, this Bai Gui in front of them was very suitable as a test subject.

It was fat and strong, tall and mighty. Most importantly, it had just hunted down one of its own kind, and judging from its current state, it had not suffered much damage, proving its strength.

If a large amount of Star Power was infused into such a Bai Gui, the probability of it leveling up should be very high, right?

The Bai Gui was eating blood and flesh in big gulps, and didn't notice the two at all. Or perhaps it had already discovered them, but didn't care about these two guys circling around it.

Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan, one on the left and one on the right, circled the Bai Gui for half a circle each, observed the surroundings, and after ensuring that everything was safe, finally prepared to take action.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and threw out a Reverse Flow Light, directly connecting it to the Bai Gui.

Although Jiang Xiao was only a Xingyun stage cultivator, the Bai Gui's level was only Huang Tong (Bronze), the lowest level, and its total Star Power was also very scarce. In comparison, the strength of its physical body was more impressive.

The Bai Gui never expected that this human fool would not only not attack it, but would instead infuse it with a large amount of Star Power?

Jiang Xiao felt like he, a Xingyun stage cultivator, was giving welfare to a Xingchen (Star Dust) stage cultivator. The Star Power in his body dropped section by section, and a large amount of Star Power was transferred into the Bai Gui's body, most of which was wasted in the air.

Jiang Xiao quickly couldn't hold on any longer, and another Reverse Flow Light connected to Xia Yan's body. This time, it was Xia Yan's turn to be dumbfounded.

The usually impressive Xia Yan suddenly had a feeling that she was about to become a soft-legged shrimp.

What kind of Star Power "sharing" was this?

Xia Yan finally understood how Han Jiangxue felt back then. This was... the feeling of having your body emptied?

"Aaaaaah!" The Bai Gui's body trembled violently, and it howled to the sky, but the howling was poured into its mouth and nose by the heavy wind and snow, and its hoarse voice was drowned out in the wind and snow.

It beat its chest, it pounded the snow, it excitedly tore at the corpse under its feet, and finally lay twitching in the snow. Its excited roar turned into a comfortable groan.

Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan clearly felt a large amount of Star Power pouring into the Bai Gui's body. The two looked at each other excitedly. Could they really succeed!?

Originally, the Reverse Flow Light was only Bai Yin (Silver) quality. After upgrading a full two qualities, the Bo Jin (Platinum) quality Reverse Flow Light was truly a large water pipe with extremely fast transmission speed, achieving something that ordinary people could not imagine.

Finally, the Bai Gui stood up with a trembling body. It shook its thick neck, its body was strong and powerful, and its claws were bared. A pair of scarlet eyes actually looked at Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan through the layers of wind and snow.

Since they wanted to pursue excitement,

Then why not follow it through to the end?

Jiang Xiao didn't say anything, and raised his hand for a Blessing.

"Uh... ah~" The Bai Gui's already trembling body swayed even more, and it was almost blown to the ground by a gust of wind.

The next moment, a cold light flashed, and its head flew.

Xia Yan's figure was like a ghost in the dim night, and wherever her broadsword passed, blood splattered.

She picked up a dagger, tore at the head, found the Star Bead, and threw it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao made a sad expression towards the decapitated Bai Gui corpse.

At least... you died happily, didn't you?

And before you died, we even helped you advance to the Bai Yin stage. You should have no regrets, right?

Damn, am I too kind?

Jiang Xiao took the Star Bead and his face lit up with joy!

It worked!

Bai Yin quality!

The Bai Gui really leveled up!

"Bai Gui Star Bead (Bai Yin Quality)

Possesses Star Techniques:

1. Qing Mang (Cyan Light): Powerfully strikes the enemy, increases damage to the Qing Mang area, and adds a slight knockback effect. (Huang Tong quality, upgradeable)

2. Ren Nai (Endurance): Passive Star Technique, increases own defense. (Huang Tong quality, upgradeable)

Merge and absorb?"

Eh?

Wait a minute...

The Bai Gui did indeed upgrade to the Bai Yin stage, and its Star Bead became Bai Yin quality, but... its Star Techniques were still Huang Tong quality?

Then... how can he replace Xiaojiangxue (Little Jiangxue) and Xia Yan's with Bai Yin quality Qing Mang and Bai Yin quality Ren Nai?

Practice leads to truth. Jiang Xiao's previous ideas were somewhat biased.

Now it seemed that the Bai Gui's body had indeed undergone enough training, but it just lacked a large amount of Star Power to make its strength undergo a qualitative improvement.

However, although they could increase their levels, their Star Techniques still maintained their original levels and did not change.

But this didn't affect Jiang Xiao, because when Jiang Xiao absorbed Star Beads to improve the quality of his Star Techniques, it was calculated according to the quality of the Star Bead.

To give a simple example, take the Star Bead in front of him:

Although Qing Mang and Ren Nai were both Huang Tong quality, this Bai Gui Star Bead was Bai Yin quality, so after Jiang Xiao absorbed it, it would increase the Inner Vision Star Chart panel as if he had absorbed Bai Yin quality Qing Mang and Ren Nai.

Jiang Xiao could improve Qing Mang, Ren Nai, and even Blessing and Bait step by step, but what about others...

Jiang Xiao looked up at Xia Yan and heard Xia Yan shout loudly, "Don't stand there dumbfounded, absorb it and see what it feels like."

Jiang Xiao absorbed the Bai Yin quality Bai Gui Star Bead cleanly, looked at his Inner Vision Star Chart, and prepared to go with Xia Yan to try other Bai Gui, as there was no harm in experimenting a few more times.
