Chapter 810 Bonus Chapter for Blood Battle Knights Alliance Leader

...

Hua Xia Emperor Capital,

In the stadium of the Emperor Capital Star Warrior University, the exciting matches continued.

Although Li Liang was watching the students' matches below, his mind was still replaying Jiang Xiao's performance from earlier. Since that match, the stubborn Li Liang seemed to have finally changed his opinion of Jiang Xiao.

This kid had knife skills, control, sustain, healing, and teleportation, but most importantly... he had brains.

This was a player who used his brain to compete.

He had foresight and a keen sense of smell. Every move, every smile, every curse was a carefully planned routine.

Thinking of this, Li Liang couldn't help but lower his head and put a checkmark on Jiang Xiao's file.

If there were no problems in the next round of elimination matches, then Hou Mingming, Zhao Wenlong, and Jiang Xiao should be fine for recommendation. As for how far they could go in the future and whether they could enter the national team, that would depend on their own luck.

The national team's selection matches were the same as the World Cup system, all single-elimination matches. And the national team selection wouldn't be like the school, dividing into Group A and Group B, trying to ensure that the strong would advance.

For a simple example, in the national team selection matches, it was possible for Hou Mingming to encounter Zhao Wenlong. Under the single-elimination system, either Hou Mingming or Zhao Wenlong would inevitably be eliminated.

So... strength was one aspect, and luck was another.

Jiang Xiao had already successfully advanced to the next round, while the other eleven players in the arena mostly had one win or one loss. If they wanted to advance, they would have to play another round.

So, Jiang Xiao could rest and recuperate now, and if there were no accidents, he would have three opponents to choose from in the next round. If they no longer divided into Groups A and B, then he would have five choices.

Yeah, that felt good.

"Little Pi, that one doesn't seem to have enough damage output, and he's a magic type. You can control him to death, you know?" Xia Yan gently nudged Jiang Xiao with her elbow, but didn't get any response.

"Little Pi?" Xia Yan turned to look at Jiang Xiao, but saw that he was secretly lost in thought. She reached out and waved her hand in front of Jiang Xiao's face.

Jiang Xiao came back to his senses, his expression quite serious. He grabbed her slender hand, but seemed to feel some calluses.

How long... had it been since he blessed her?

Why were there calluses again? It seemed that Xia Yan was training very hard when Jiang Xiao didn't know.

White light permeated from Jiang Xiao's hand. He gently held her hand. After a dozen seconds, the calluses on her right hand slowly fell off, and white, tender skin grew out, restoring its fair and delicate appearance.

"Wow." Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh softly. This low-level blessing wouldn't make her dizzy. It preserved her sanity while being very comfortable, simply a medical miracle.

Jiang Xiao took her other hand and held it in his palm. White light flickered in his hand, nourishing her palm. He said, "I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a while."

"Ah?" Xia Yan looked puzzled. "This is a good time for you to observe your opponents, but you want to sleep?"

Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan with a serious expression and said, "Wait a moment, I'll rest."

Xia Yan was slightly stunned and nodded thoughtfully.

Jiang Xiao leaned back slightly and closed his eyes to rest in the noisy stadium.

Xia Yan's hands were soaked in the "hot spring", gently turning them back and forth. Unfortunately, the white light in Jiang Xiao's hand quickly dissipated. Xia Yan reluctantly withdrew her hands, but her gaze didn't.

She quietly watched Jiang Xiao take a nap, and couldn't help but think to herself, what exactly happened?

You ask what exactly happened?

This was also the question that Jiang Xiao wanted to ask. His bait, the "Nine-Tailed Fox" currently in the Great Northwest, was now waiting confusedly for the Two-Tailed Fox to give orders.

The Two-Tailed Fox had entered the military camp for more than a minute. She should have gone to ask her superiors about the mission. And in this minute or so, in that distant sky, piles and piles of golden-red candle flames and golden-red giant insects were falling down like dumplings.

After repeatedly confirming with the soldiers that this was Earth, Yin Ni was now staring blankly at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Due to the characteristics of the creatures from the Mount Er Ye Other Dimension, whether it was the golden-red candle flames or the golden-red giant insects, their bodies were golden-red and burning with flames, so...

So the Saint's Ruins that opened in the sky,

seemed to be flowing down a golden-red waterfall, extremely magnificent and spectacular!

Did the other dimension directly invade Earth?

Originally, the other dimension would only open a portal on Earth. After entering, it would be a varied other dimension. In this dimensional space, one could find a Saint's Ruins, which was the main channel connecting the upper and lower dimensions.

But now, without the buffer of the lower-dimensional other dimension, this Saint's Ruins directly opened on Earth?

Buzz... buzz...

An open-top military vehicle sped over and stopped directly beside them.

"Get in!" the Two-Tailed Fox in the car ordered, directly getting up from the driver's seat and stepping over to the passenger seat.

The three apprentices hurriedly perked up. The Nine-Tailed Fox understood what she meant and got into the driver's seat without asking.

"West!" the Two-Tailed Fox ordered.

"West?" Yin Ni's expression changed in shock, and she said, "But the Saint's Ruins gate is in the east, we..."

"That's someone else's mission." the Two-Tailed Fox said in a hoarse voice, her body swaying with the military vehicle on the mountain road. She rarely said another sentence, "The northwest of the province, it's already dark."

After this sentence fell, the car fell into silence.

It's already dark?

What did that mean? Was the northwest of Da Jiang Province now different from the rest of the country? Was it high noon with the sun shining brightly everywhere else? Only here was the sky dark?

The military vehicle sped along the foot of the mountain and finally rushed onto the highway, heading west all the way.

Just as the road surface leveled out and the military vehicle stopped shaking violently, the sound of rushing wind suddenly came from the sky in front of them!

The sound was extremely loud, and two dark black "lightning bolts" streaked across the night sky...

Fei Xue opened his mouth wide and looked up at the two fighter jets. He turned around and followed the direction of the fighter jets, seeing the Saint's Ruins opened in the distant sky.

A few seconds later...

Rumble!

A deafening sound came from the extremely distant horizon. The next moment, the fire of the explosion seemed to spread across the entire sky, completely exploding at the portal in the sky.

Fei Xue couldn't help but cover his eyes. In this dark night sky, the light of the explosion was so bright that he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Not long after, when the firelight dissipated, the Saint's Ruins in the sky also disappeared without a trace. It wasn't that his eyesight was so good, but the golden-red waterfall flowing down from the sky had finally stopped flowing.

Yin Ni's movements were a little shaky. She tightly held the warm and soft golden-red candle flame in her arms. As a night watch apprentice and a once-excellent Star Warrior student, she had seen too many other dimensions and had never been afraid.

But today, she felt the end of the world for the first time.

A Saint's Ruins opening in another dimension was qualitatively different from opening directly on Earth.

The military vehicle's headlights were bright, and the surroundings were pitch black, seeming to be the only illumination in the night sky.

No, Yin Ni still had a golden-red candle flame in her arms, which seemed to bring a trace of warmth and light to everyone.

The Nine-Tailed Fox held the steering wheel with one hand and stepped on the accelerator to the floor, but suddenly reached out her right hand and touched the Two-Tailed Fox's thigh.

The Two-Tailed Fox was standing on the passenger seat, holding the horizontal beam in the middle of the open-top military vehicle with one hand, looking at the fiery sky behind her. Feeling the Nine-Tailed Fox's call, the Two-Tailed Fox turned her head and looked down, "What's wrong?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox pointed forward.

The Two-Tailed Fox turned around, holding the front window frame with one hand, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

At the edge of the mountain forest to the left front of the highway, two burning golden-red candle flames were playing and frolicking, jumping and skipping onto the highway.

The Two-Tailed Fox followed her gaze and looked at the mountain forest. In this dense forest, a trace of firelight could still be faintly seen.

The Two-Tailed Fox decisively said, "Stop the car. This Mount Er Ye Saint's Ruins is relatively hidden and should not have been discovered yet. It may have just opened. We'll go destroy it."

The two golden-red candle flames jumped onto the highway. The speeding military vehicle came head-on, and the two little fellows closed their eyes in fright, their candle eyes quietly extinguishing. They were too frightened to move.

Squeak...

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground was very harsh. The vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the two little fellows, almost knocking them down.

The four-person team quickly jumped out of the car and ran into the mountain forest.

After a while, the two golden-red candle flames opened their candle eyes and looked at the silent behemoth (military vehicle) in front of them. The two little fellows hesitated for a long time and ran away quickly.

In the mountain forest, the Two-Tailed Fox swung her giant blade repeatedly, and gusts of ice frost howled, dyeing the mountain forest under the dark night with a layer of frost.

The golden-red candle flames that were running around were frozen and curled up into a ball, but the golden-red giant insects with sharp, pointed horns were not as cute as the golden-red candle flames. Not only in appearance, but also in their brutal nature.

In Mount Er Ye, they fed on their own kind and the golden-red candle flames. Their sharp, pointed horns could pierce the transparent skin of the golden-red candle flames, sucking out the star power inside to nourish themselves.

Golden-red giant insects, as the name suggests, had golden-red bodies, occasionally with black spots. They mostly had six legs, and the joints were covered with sharp barbs. They had a huge and sharp horn on their heads.

The sharp, pointed horn could not only be used as a weapon to stab and poke, but the hollow horn could also be used to suck the flesh and blood of prey, and even spray golden-red venom from it.

This special liquid made of star power was relatively corrosive. Whether it was their own kind or the golden-red candle flames, it would be a very tricky thing if they were sprayed with it.

The same was true for humans.

So, for the members of the team, their lives should not be in great danger, but whether they could walk out of the mountain forest with their clothes intact was another matter.
