Chapter 185 Hot Searches

Jiang Xiao was trending.

At this stage, it was really easy for Jiang Xiao to trend.

The National High School League, a competition that garnered nationwide, even global attention, wasn't just a "hot topic" anymore; it was practically a "base station"!

Any slight breeze in this base station would be amplified and spread infinitely.

After a match, the top ten trending topics were dominated by news related to the National High School League, taking up six spots.

For example, the Bei Jiang team made history by creating a 35-year record, charging into the finals as dark horses.

Another example was Ying Xi repeatedly declining the title of the top Law-system student of this year, and reiterating that in the finals, he would face the Xinghe-stage overlord, Han Jiangxue, with a heart of reverence and a challenger's mentality, determined to compete against the strong.

Well, it's hard to say what Ying Xi trended for, after all... everyone knew who was male and who was female from the related news...

Yes, Capital Thirty-Two Middle School won.

Both Capital Thirty-Two Middle School and Hai Su Normal University High School were favorites to win the championship, and the pre-match debate about who would win was evenly split.

Capital Thirty-Two Middle School's lineup was very standard: 1 Shield Warrior, 1 Agility Warrior, 1 Law-system, and 1 Support.

Hai Su Normal University High School's lineup, however, was 1 Shield Warrior, 2 Law-system, and 1 Support.

The match was very intense, with both sides exchanging blows in a lively manner. When the strengths of both sides were relatively balanced, the so-called "x" factor would jump out and play a role.

These participating students had above-average abilities, but were not the top players of their team, nor were they superstars.

However, once these students went berserk, they could perform at a godlike level.

In the difficult match, Hai Su Normal University High School failed to have a dark horse stand out, but Capital Thirty-Two Middle School had an Agility Warrior who slaughtered all quarters—Yin Mi.

One match decided the victory, and that was how exciting it was. A small mistake, a minor choice, could change the direction of the victory.

When the two sides were fiercely fighting and unable to break the deadlock, Yin Mi, wielding his battle blade, toppled the enemy's Shield Warrior, Han Chuqin, thus breaking the stalemate!

Han Chuqin, who was over two meters tall, had a solid foundation and a stable fighting style. He was a very reliable Shield Warrior, and his defensive gate should not have been breached, but Yin Mi really went berserk.

His blade skills were extremely strange and ruthless, and his movements were even more outstanding. Facing the Shield Warrior Han Chuqin, who was struggling to fight, Yin Mi feinted to the east and attacked in the west, deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea. With amazing combat intelligence and highly creative tactics, he directly sent Han Chuqin out of the competition.

The loss of the gate and his elimination allowed the two Thunder and Lightning Mages of Hai Su Normal University High School to completely let loose, while Ying Xi of Capital Thirty-Two Middle School skillfully used the "Space Backpack" Star Technique to achieve harmless resistance to the lightning Star Techniques.

In addition, Yin Mi, who had gone mad, roamed the field invisibly, and cooperated with Ying Xi's steady fire-type output, finally winning the match with difficulty.

The final opponents for the finals were finally out: Jiangbin First High School vs. Capital Thirty-Two Middle School.

Having talked about the match, let's talk about the news.

Jiang Xiao trended with Han Jiangxue.

The reason, of course, was that Han Jiangxue was subjected to cyberbullying, and Jiang Xiao posted on Weibo to defend his teammate, strongly rebuking the haters.

What Jiang Xiao never expected was that this Weibo post brought him nearly 160,000 followers...

Or perhaps it was the semi-final that brought him the fans. In short, Jiang Xiao's Weibo followers were now close to 500,000, which made Jiang Xiao a little at a loss. Moreover, Jiang Xiao was contacted by the official backstage and became a verified user.

The v-certification was: Star student of the 2016 National High School League.

Participating student was fine, but what did star student mean?

Had he become a star?

That was okay too. The official didn't certify him as a "poison milk," which was considered a favor. You know, Jiang Xiao's Weibo...

Jiang Xiao thought to himself, now that he was famous, he shouldn't be idle. After the college entrance examination, should he take on advertisements and make money?

Liu Yang also trended afterwards. He trended with Jiang Xiao, simply because of a reply he made, which showed how popular the National High School League news was!

On Jiang Xiao's newly posted Weibo:

Jinmen Thug Liu Da Yang: @JiangXiaoPiPiBuPi, bandit, bring your sister to Jinmen after the holidays. I know a restaurant that makes baodu that is super delicious.

The potential impact of such a message was greater than the written content.

Since Liu Yang replied under Jiang Xiao's Weibo, this was Jiang Xiao's home field. Therefore, the replies below Liu Yang's message were all neatly arranged "Generous!"

On and off the field, they cherished each other.

These two people who were injured by Han Jiangxue's chain lightning had no resentment in their hearts. Those haters who were shouting slogans of heartache for the two of them and cursing everywhere should take a rest.

Everything was as Jiang Xiao's blog post said:

Awakened,

Trained for battle, born for victory.

This was like asking a professional athlete to pity their opponent and throw the match.

These athletes had victory imprinted in their minds and engraved with the honor of winning glory for their country.

Their years, or even decades, of hard training, their established beliefs, and all their persistence, simply translated into one word: win!

And yet you want him to pity the weak and throw the match in the competition?

This was simply an incredible thing.

Yuan Qinghua and Xia Yan did have some restraint, but that was because of the special products presented by different professions and different fighting styles. Did you really think they were throwing the match? They won more decisively and thoroughly than Han Jiangxue.

A significant portion of the Awakened will become Star Warriors in the future, and they are the ones who will truly go to the battlefield to fight.

If they still want to go home, if they still want the people behind them to have a home, then they must win, and they can only win!

When the team held a meeting the next afternoon, Hai Tianqing made a request. The finals would be held on May 20th. In the next few days, Hai Tianqing hoped that everyone would focus their attention, temporarily put down their phones, and cut off all outside interference.

Everyone agreed to this and began to study the Thirty-Two Middle School team led by Ying Xi.

This team was very standard, as standard as Jiangbin First High School. The professions were exactly the same, which was considered the standard configuration of a Huaxia tactical squad.

And its Agility Warrior Yin Mi was also the same as Xia Yan. This tall, thin boy with a rather refined appearance, red lips, white teeth, clean and sunny, was very different from his cunning and ruthless fighting style.

Obviously, in the Agility Warrior profession, Yin Mi was different from assassins like Liu Yang and Shen Xing, but was closer to Xia Yan's style, a powerful warrior with flexible movements and agile actions.

Everyone analyzed the Star Techniques and tactical cooperation of the Thirty-Two Middle School students one by one. Everything was fine, until...

Hai Tianqing had just finished saying that he wanted to eliminate outside interference and cut off contact with the outside world when a big shot came to Chang'an City.

Most of the leaders who came to offer their condolences last time were deputy positions.

And this time... well, it was actually also a deputy position, but it was higher in status and seemed to have more real power than those leaders before.

Principal Yan also came in person!

He was the "big boss" of Jiangbin First High School, but he was just a high school principal.

The second-in-command of the Bei Jiang Province Star Association came, and this was what Jiang Xiao and others had to cheer up and greet. Moreover, the leaders also brought "rewards and gifts," so Jiang Xiao and others were willing to greet them.

Jiang Xiao sometimes even thought that it would have been great if the National High School League had started 60 or 70 years earlier, so that Bei Jiang Province could have gone a hundred years without entering the semi-finals.

If Jiang Xiao's team broke through at this time, what level of reward would they receive?

Creating a new high in 35 years of history meant that the province would give a pile of Star Beads for winning a single match. If it was a hundred years and they created a new high in a century of history, then the reward...

Jiang Xiao could take off after just one match!

After two matches, Jiang Xiao might have gathered a set of platinum Star Techniques!

After three matches, Jiang Xiao might have a body of dazzling diamonds and ascend to immortality on the spot...

After this whole process of the National High School League, Jiang Xiao could retire and return to his hometown.

Go home to raise cats and walk dogs, open the window to face the field, and talk about farming while drinking wine. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Uh...

Most importantly, these provincial Star Association leaders who came with gifts were not the most exciting thing for Jiang Xiao, because... people from the National Star Association also came.

The people from the National Star Association didn't bring any rewards, but their companions included people from several special departments.

How special?

People from the Capital Star Martial Arts Admissions Office, people from the Magic Capital Star Martial Arts Admissions Office, people from the Northwest Star Martial Arts Admissions Office... how special was that?

For Jiang Xiao, Han Jiangxue, and Xia Yan, these were the real big shots!

As for Li Weiyi...

Well... never mind, don't mention it, it's tiring.
