Why Grade Three?

Because international competitions are held every two years. Although this session hasn't started yet, Jiang Xiao in his freshman year won't make it. The next session will be when he's a junior.

Jiang Xiao thought, looking at the actual situation, if there really are incredibly talented and powerful support-type students in his year or the year above, he wouldn't say anything.

This situation is very likely to happen, after all, Jiang Xiao is going to the top Star Warrior University in Xia, located in the capital.

Of course, good supports are always scarce. If she's chosen by another team, and no one protects Han Jiangxue on the international stage, then Jiang Xiao will have to bite the bullet and step up.

Jiang Xiao can now use skill points to forcefully push his realm to the Star River stage, but it's useless.

On the one hand, he's currently in school, which is a time for steady growth. There's no need to force it. He doesn't have any urgent and important tasks, so there's no need to do that.

On the other hand, the Star River stage is a very important checkpoint. It's a key node for the win-win cooperation and qualitative change of star power and physical fitness. If he forces it with skill points, Jiang Xiao will just be a showy fake. It's a waste if his physical fitness can't keep up.

If he makes a mistake and doesn't enjoy this opportunity for qualitative improvement, he'll suffer a huge loss.

Han Jiangxue looked at the star bead in Jiang Xiao's hand and said, "Heart of Nature? All-elemental resistance?"

Jiang Xiao came back to his senses and explained, "No, it's for natural elements, such as wind, fire, lightning, ice, and other attribute star techniques. It probably can't resist special attribute star techniques like Cyan Glow or Silence."

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "That's enough."

Jiang Xiao continued to ask, "By the way, have you absorbed any other star techniques during this summer vacation?"

Han Jiangxue gently hummed, "Yes, still thirteen star slots and fourteen star techniques."

Because of her special compatibility with flame attribute star techniques, Han Jiangxue's 13th star slot is a one-star, two-skill slot, composed of a silver-quality Flame Lesser Puppet and a gold-quality Flame Fire Puppet.

At the Star River stage, she still has three available star slots.

Jiang Xiao secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the first one she absorbs is the Heart of Nature!

Please don't let it be Frost Wind or Ice Roar!

She already has the control star techniques Barren Wind and Torch Whip, and her damage output is explosive. Although the platinum-quality Ice Roar can crush her series of output star techniques, but...

"Heart of Nature, Heart of Nature." Jiang Xiao muttered, constantly praying for Han Jiangxue, picking out the 26 White Mountain Snow Feather star beads one by one and placing them on the coffee table in front of her.

Han Jiangxue picked up a beautiful star bead. In the light white star bead, it was as if there was a snow-covered world, and endless wind and snow were spreading out, emitting wisps of cool mist, and it felt cool and comfortable to the touch.

Seeing Jiang Xiao's skilled selection movements, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but ask, "The so-called White Mountain Snow Feather star beads and White Ghost star beads are very different, but can you be sure that these are all White Mountain Snow Feather star beads? The star beads contained in the brains of creatures in the same other dimension are very similar."

Jiang Xiao's movements paused slightly, and he said, "I carefully studied the star beads of the White Mountain Snow Feather in the Snow Mountain Territory, don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."

Of course, Han Jiangxue trusted Jiang Xiao 100%. Since he said so, Han Jiangxue no longer hesitated, lit up her white flame star map, and randomly picked up a star bead and absorbed it directly.

Since the image after absorption is the star bead shattering, with bits of starlight mixed with wisps of cool mist merging into Han Jiangxue's body, this image is more like she crushed the star bead.

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue nervously, fearing that she would say the words "Frost Wind". There's no way around it, the Heart of Nature is really too helpful to Han Jiangxue, this risk is worth taking.

Han Jiangxue gently exhaled a breath of cold air. Her dark eyes seemed to be filled with frost, and she softly said, "Didn't you say you wanted to show off your star techniques to me?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, never expecting her to say such a sentence.

"Oh, oh." Jiang Xiao came back to his senses, got up and ran back to his room to look for something, and asked loudly, "When you were tidying up my clothes, did you see my dagger? It should be hanging on the side of my camouflage pants."

The recurve bow doesn't matter, the key is that the half-serrated combat blade was given to him by Er Wei, he absolutely can't lose it.

Although Er Wei is a cold soldier, she is also a woman. Women are a very troublesome species, their faces are like the weather in June, changing at any time.

But then again, Er Wei is such a poker face, how much can she change?

It's common to see kittens with puffed-up fur, but he hasn't seen a big cat with puffed-up fur... Hmm... I'll have to find time to pinch the big cat's tail to see what it looks like when her fur puffs up.

"It's here with me." Han Jiangxue's voice came from the living room.

Jiang Xiao returned to the living room and found Han Jiangxue holding a black half-serrated combat blade in her hand, clean and tidy, obviously carefully wiped.

Jiang Xiao took the half-serrated combat blade with his right hand and held it against his left forearm.

Han Jiangxue: ???

Jiang Xiao gently划, and a white mark appeared from where the dagger's blade had划.

Han Jiangxue was slightly surprised. Why did this kid learn to self-harm?

Self-harm?

Heh, not only will I self-harm, but I've also learned how to disembowel myself!

These are all small scenes, small scenes...

Jiang Xiao raised his left arm to Han Jiangxue and said, "Look."

Han Jiangxue looked around, and the white scratch gradually turned red and disappeared within a few seconds. The arm seemed to have never been injured at all.

Of course, Han Jiangxue knew the sharpness of the half-serrated combat blade. Even if Jiang Xiao's strength was light, the dagger's blade had left a scratch on his arm. This amount of force couldn't possibly not break the skin and cause bleeding.

Jiang Xiao broke free from Han Jiangxue's hand, held the blade against his left arm again, and said, "Platinum quality Endurance."

A hint of joy rose in Han Jiangxue's heart, and she asked with interest, "Invulnerable to swords and spears? Is your defense so high?"

"Hehe, it hasn't reached the point of being invulnerable to swords and spears." Jiang Xiao used the sharp half-serrated combat blade to划 his left arm again, still a white scratch, which slowly turned into a red blood mark, and finally returned to its normal skin color. "If you really stab hard, you can still stab into the skin."

Han Jiangxue raised her eyebrows in surprise. She saw the extent of Jiang Xiao's force just now, and what he said was different from what she saw.

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "You have to use a lot of force, and the weapon must be of good quality, otherwise, the weapon might break."

Han Jiangxue stroked Jiang Xiao's arm with one hand, and her fair fingers gently捏, and found that the feel was no different. Her younger brother was still a normal "flesh body."

So magical.

It's obviously no different from a normal arm, but why is the defense so high?

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "As for thermal weapons, I haven't tried them, and I don't think I can defend against them. But then again, the White Ghost star beads are very easy to obtain. To be honest, I've never intentionally absorbed White Ghost star beads, and I've never intentionally tried to improve the quality of Cyan Glow and Endurance.

After Er Wei and I worked hard to upgrade the quality of Blessing and Bait, Cyan Glow and Endurance here also improved in quality..."

This is the real deal, big quantity and guaranteed quality!

Han Jiangxue sat back on the sofa and absorbed another star bead, exhaling wisps of cool mist, "What's the effect of Cyan Glow?"

Jiang Xiao: "Very strong! A light touch can send someone flying 20 meters away, coupled with my own strength and rich star power, the effect is definitely very strong!"

Han Jiangxue glanced at Jiang Xiao, and didn't quite understand how Jiang Xiao said such sentences as "my rich star power."

Although her younger brother is not very thick-skinned, improving the quality of star techniques is always a good thing.

Especially as a support, with the help of Cyan Glow, she's not afraid of anyone getting close.

Han Jiangxue suddenly frowned. The 14th star slot in the quietly burning white flame star map still didn't light up. Another platinum star bead was gone.

Han Jiangxue shook her head, picked up another star bead, and said, "According to what you said, Blessing and Bait have also been upgraded?"

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, Blessing has become a large beam of light with a diameter of five meters, and it has a splash effect. The most important thing is that I can now control the power of Blessing, which means that although my current Blessing is of platinum quality, I can control it to exert the effect of silver quality."

Han Jiangxue's misty white eyes suddenly lit up, scaring Jiang Xiao...

Good heavens, Er Wei didn't look so scary when she absorbed the White Mountain Snow Feather star beads, how come frost mist filled Little Jiangxue's eyes?

Han Jiangxue said happily, "That's great, Blessing is your main means of attack and support. You can control its power, and you can cast star techniques specifically whether it's against the enemy, against me, or against yourself."

Jiang Xiao agreed, "Yes, that's right, the future upgrade direction of Blessing should be like this. I think the upgrade direction of other star techniques is also like this, first getting stronger and stronger, until finally evolving and upgrading to effortless mastery and returning to simplicity."

Han Jiangxue suddenly raised her head and took a big sip of light: "Ha..."

The white mist in her eyes gradually dissipated, and the fourteenth star slot suddenly lit up, silver... no, it should be noble platinum!

Han Jiangxue said softly, "I... I'm sorry."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Sorry?

Why apologize? Because it took five White Mountain Snow Feather star beads to absorb a star technique? Or... you didn't absorb the Heart of Nature?

Han Jiangxue stretched out her slender hand, palm up, slightly cupped.

In that palm,碎ice shards quietly emerged, rapidly rotating, and then evolved into a small ice whirlpool, spinning rapidly in her palm.

Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple squirmed, and he said, "Ice Roar?"

Han Jiangxue sighed heavily, exhaling a layer of ice mist, "Yes."

Platinum quality * Ice Roar!?

Your damage output...

I,

Han Jiangxue,

Star Warrior Heavy Artillery, super fierce!?
