Most Valuable Player?

And in the national finals, no less.

The two sides had a total of eight people. Two of them were Galaxy-stage mage-types. Everyone had witnessed their performance. Even Xia Yan had taken down the shield-bearer Gao Kun and the mage Ying Xi, a glorious achievement. Yet, the FMVP went to a support-type?

Was this trophy valuable enough!?

"Ah! I! Died!" Su Rou's face was flushed with excitement. She screamed wildly, kicked her legs out, and her pink chair slid backward.

Perhaps Su Rou wanted the show's effect, she kicked even harder, overturning herself and the chair, lying motionless on the ground.

The screen was flooded with comments:

""

"Shocking! The Number One Support in North Jiang Makes Penguin's Female Anchor Weak in Limbs, Unable to Get Up!"

"Shocking! The Universe's Number One Support Makes the Female Anchor Act Like This!"

"Go to hell! That was exhilarating! Comfortable! Amazing! Little Pi is the MVP!"

"Black Eight Pi, Sixteen or Seventeen, National Competition MVP~"

On the screen, the quartet was standing on the podium, waiting for the leaders to come on stage to present the awards.

Handshakes, medals, flowers... and the rewards everyone was waiting for—high-quality Star Beads!

While shaking hands with the leaders and listening to their encouraging words, Jiang Xiao secretly glanced at the young lady behind the leader.

Well... he was stealing glances at the small red square box in the young lady's hand.

What could be inside?

This was the National Competition, after all. The officials wouldn't be stingy, would they?

It was a world-renowned event in China. It would be embarrassing if the rewards were too meager, wouldn't it?

There were also monetary rewards, but those weren't for Jiang Xiao and the other participants. The money was awarded to Jiangbin No. 1 High School.

However, these bonuses were just a small part of it. Compared to the actual benefits received by the school, the provincial and municipal education departments, and the local government, this bonus was nothing.

"Bow your head," Han Jiangxue patted Jiang Xiao's back.

Jiang Xiao quickly lowered his head, received the medal, shook hands with a well-dressed middle-aged man, and took the small red square box.

Jiang Xiao thanked him repeatedly, quickly opened the small square box, and gently touched the Star Bead inside with a delighted expression.

The whole country watched this scene and couldn't help but laugh at Jiang Xiao, who was just a child and couldn't hold back his excitement.

Little did they know that Jiang Xiao wasn't admiring the Star Bead's appearance, but reading the information inside his Inner Vision Star Chart!

"White Mountain Mist Star Bead (Platinum Quality)"

Oh my god!

Jiang Xiao's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the small square box on the ground.

Platinum... A Platinum-quality Star Bead?

Jiang Xiao did have Platinum-quality Star Techniques, but he had leveled them up himself. This was the first time Jiang Xiao had seen a Platinum-quality Star Bead!

"White Mountain Mist Star Bead (Platinum Quality)

Contains Star Techniques:

1. Healing Mist: Creates and releases a cloud of white mist that rapidly heals targets within the mist. The range, density, and duration of the mist are determined by the amount of Star Power the user injects. (Gold Quality, Upgradeable)

2. Star Mist: Creates and releases a cloud of white mist that rapidly restores Star Power to targets within the mist. The range, density, and duration of the mist are determined by the amount of Star Power the user injects. (Gold Quality, Upgradeable)

3. Purifying Mist: Creates and releases a cloud of white mist that rapidly removes all negative effects (including but not limited to people) within the mist.

If there is a target in the Purifying Mist, then the Purifying Mist will add a buff effect to the target, comprehensively improving the target's physical attributes for a certain period. The range, density, and duration of the mist are determined by the amount of Star Power the user injects. (Platinum Quality, Upgradeable)

Merge and absorb? (Note: The host's Star Power realm is too low. The success rate of merging and absorbing Platinum-quality Star Techniques is 30%)"

Jiang Xiao: ???

What does this mean?

Golden-quality can be absorbed? Platinum-quality has a 30% success rate?

My Star Power realm is too low? I'm also at the Nebula stage, okay!

Although it's the initial stage of the Nebula phase, it is a real Nebula phase. What do you mean by this broken Inner Vision Star Chart?

Are you looking down on people?

Besides, there are Platinum Star Techniques in my Star Chart, okay?

Although I was still at the Gold stage and below when I absorbed them, now, Grievance, Reverse Flow Light, and Voice of Silence have all been upgraded to Platinum.

I am qualified and capable of wielding Platinum-quality Star Techniques.

Could it be... the Nebula stage can't directly absorb Platinum-quality? Is it acceptable to absorb Star Beads of a higher grade, but absorbing Star Beads that are two grades higher will be sanctioned?

Do I have to reach the Galaxy stage to have a 100% success rate of absorbing Platinum Star Techniques?

Although ordinary Awakened Ones have a higher probability of absorbing Gold-quality Star Techniques of the same level when they reach the Galaxy stage, I am not an ordinary person. I am a super healer with the Inner Vision Star Chart!

If you treat me like this... then I'll just find Golden-quality Star Techniques and upgrade them to Platinum on my own, right?

Do you really think you can stop me from using Platinum Star Techniques?

Heh, naive!

Jiang Xiao's mood was a little chaotic, and he was caught off guard by the sudden information.

He concentrated and carefully read the Star Technique introduction and realized that this National Competition champion-level reward Star Bead was indeed a bit dreamy.

Logically speaking, even if this kind of Star Bead was thrown to a Galaxy-stage or even a Star Sea-stage Star Warrior, they might not be able to absorb the Star Techniques inside, right?

Platinum Star Bead!

Two Gold Star Techniques, one Platinum Star Technique.

It could restore health, restore mana, and purify.

Quality was also a guarantee of effect. If a support-type possessed these three Star Techniques, wouldn't they have graduated?

How precious are Golden-quality support Star Techniques to normal support types?

To say nothing else, what were the healing Star Techniques of Cai Yao, who was fourth in this year's competition, or even Li Yuan, the support of the runner-up team?

They were nothing more than Silver-quality Starfall series Star Techniques!

If Jiang Xiao didn't have the Inner Vision Star Chart, he would also be using Silver-grade Clock Bell and Inheritance Mark.

With just one quality difference, the healing effect was vastly different.

This White Mountain Mist Star Bead was really tempting, wasn't it?

However... that was for other support personnel. Jiang Xiao already had a Gold-grade Clock Bell, and even a Gold-grade Yearning, as well as a Platinum Reverse Flow Light.

Looking at it this way, most of the Star Techniques of this so-called White Mountain Mist Star Bead overlapped with Jiang Xiao's Star Techniques.

Jiang Xiao had very few Star Slots, so few that every one of them had to be carefully planned. How could he absorb Star Techniques with overlapping functions?

Just as Jiang Xiao was stunned, the four-person team all received flowers and medals, and they were also awarded Star Bead rewards.

Before Jiang Xiao could see what rewards the others had received, he heard the host announce the award for the MVP.

Jiang Xiao came back to his senses and saw a middle-aged military officer in front of him, who looked about 40 years old. His eyes were bright, and his figure was upright. He walked straight to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao also became serious. The soldier took the MVP trophy and a small square box from the staff behind him and handed them to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly took it, his heart filled with doubts. Such a heavy-weight award, presented last, was actually presented by a soldier?

Then, Jiang Xiao felt his powerful hand firmly grasp his own. "Congratulations."

Jiang Xiao quietly said nothing.

The officer held Jiang Xiao's hand, leaned forward slightly, patted Jiang Xiao's back encouragingly, and said softly, "This is what you deserve."

Jiang Xiao: ???

After that, the cheers completely drowned out the entire stadium.

Jiang Xiao felt that the other party had a hidden meaning in his words?

Hmm...

Jiang Xiao responded to the staff's call, biting his medal, holding up the trophy, and taking photos with the leaders, but when he took the second photo, his expression became extremely wonderful.

Why?

Because Jiang Xiao saw what the FMVP reward was! He knew what the Star Bead the officer gave him was!

"Void Calamity Shadow Star Bead (Platinum Quality)

Contains Star Techniques:

1. Space-Time Rift: Skillfully uses the space-time gap to make you a true outlaw. Consumes a large amount of Star Power, short-distance blink. (Platinum Quality, Upgradeable)

2. Calamity Shadow Ruins: Summons a spatial ruin identical to the Calamity Shadow Space. (Platinum Quality, Upgradeable)

Merge and absorb? (Note: The host's Star Power realm is too low. The success rate of merging and absorbing Platinum-quality Star Techniques is 30%)"

Jiang Xiao: !!!

This type of space Star Technique is the most precious and rarest in the world. Jiang Xiao simply could not access this type of Star Bead.

Not to mention space-type Star Beads, ordinary people would never even dream of seeing this type of alien dimension, let alone enter it.

At least those spaces that are not open to the public will let you know where they are, let you know what is inside, and let you know that they are not open to the public.

However, this type of alien dimension that produces space-type Star Techniques is a state secret, and people don't even know where it is.

Even those who possess space Star Techniques must be registered with the Star Association!

In the 2016 National High School League, out of 800 talented young people, only 3 possessed space Star Techniques. You must know that these 800 people were the most outstanding group of Awakened Ones in the country. It is very likely that only these three students in China possessed such Star Techniques.

And this year was still a year of outstanding talents. Looking back more than ten years, there were hardly any shadows of space Star Techniques!

This is my FMVP reward?

Last year's MVP did not have this treatment. That mage-type powerhouse left with a fire-type Star Bead.

This should be compensation for our initial round encountering a black box, right!?

Jiang Xiao almost died on the spot!

Dad!

Please give me more of these black boxes!
