Chapter 7

Ten days later, the Other Dimension Space atop the Ancient Pagoda, Seventh Floor.

The sounds of battle cries and eerie laughter never ceased, echoing atop the seventh floor of the ancient pagoda.

The seventh floor, also known as the highest level atop the ancient pagoda, was where the team faced countless grimace monks.

From the first to the sixth floor, each level of the ancient pagoda was about 6 meters high, but the height of the seventh floor was directly elevated to more than 20 meters.

Above the center of the seventh floor's stone pillars, a huge space portal flickered with strange light, with intertwined shadows. Layers of overlapping space appeared and disappeared, from which a large number of various grimace monks emerged.

The most direct way to distinguish grimace monks was through their rain capes.

The grimace monks wore bamboo hats and rain capes, but there were different colored threads flickering on their tattered clothes and hats.

The threads of the "Grass Monk" (Cao Lu) were light green, and those of the "Silver Monk" (Yin Lu) were dark silver.

The threads of the "Gold Monk" (Jin Lu) were golden yellow, and those of the "Robe Monk" (Yi Lu) were golden red.

Moreover, among the many grimace monks, the Yi Lu were relatively high-profile.

Due to the special nature of their Star Techniques, they hardly wore tattered rain capes, and most of them were already draped in golden-red kasayas when they descended upon the ancient pagoda. Any other grimace monk that attacked them would be directly knocked away.

The existence of the four-member team gave the grimace monks a common goal, so there were fewer scenes of infighting.

Especially Jiang Xiao's giant blade, which was truly a honey trap!

No one knew what the charm of this blade was, but when these grimace monks saw it, they were like hungry wolves seeing a piece of fat meat, and they all came up for a one-on-one duel.

But one or two grimaces could still line up for a duel, but how could such a large group of grimace monks duel one-on-one?

Was Jiang Xiao supposed to duel a group of them alone?

Naturally, it evolved into a group of grimace monks besieging Jiang Xiao's team.

This was exactly what teacher Fang Xingyun wanted to see.

At this time, Fang Xingyun was surrounded by an ice-blue light罩 (zhào, cover), with a radius of about three meters.

This was a particularly magical Star Technique. There was only her inside the light罩, while outside the light罩, groups of grimace monks were crowded together, frantically hitting the light罩, making "dong dong" muffled sounds.

But no matter how hard the grimace monks tried, the light罩 never had even a crack. Teacher Fang stood leisurely inside, watching the battle of Jiang Xiao's team from afar.

Since the light罩 was surrounded by grimace monks, with layers of figures, Teacher Fang was floating at the very top of the light罩, like a goddess descending to earth, acting as a qualified "supervisor."

Jiang Xiao and the others were in a very difficult situation, surrounded by enemies everywhere!

This group of grimace monks was vastly different from the White Ghoul group. The grimace monks were truly intelligent and knew how to cooperate.

Zhao Wenlong's originally white fist bands were now stained with black blood, and the bright giant blade in Jiang Xiao's hand was also covered in patches of black blood, which was quite dazzling.

The two kept spinning around, like two loyal guards, protecting their tyrannical Peashooter.

Sister Peashooter's output was definitely top-notch. Because she had to take care of the two "melee fighters," Hou Mingming no longer shot out black feather arrows, after all, the arrows would burst into black mist, which was very detrimental to Zhao Wenlong and Jiang Xiao's performance.

At this time, the arrows shot from Hou Mingming's hand were actually illusory feather arrows.

Each time the illusory feather arrows, which only had lines, hit an enemy, they would knock the enemy's body backward.

These arrows were not only powerful, but also had a knock-back effect!

The three of them were stepping on the halo of Craving, and Hou Mingming became more and more excited as she killed!

She had to admit that Jiang Xiao was not a conventional support, but an unorthodox and fierce one!

An evil path?

This damned support didn't even have a Star Technique that simply restored Star Power, he could only replenish Star Power and vitality by killing enemies.

With Hou Mingming's output level, the Star Power consumed and the Star Power replenished were almost the same, and she felt an unrestrained feeling.

One word: Great!

It was even a bit too great!

She could shoot any arrows without restraint, and the halo of Craving would replenish her Star Power.

But the problem was, the halo of Craving not only replenished Star Power, but also vitality.

So at this time, Hou Mingming was already a bit high, she hadn't felt that blood-boiling sensation for a long time.

But this wasn't a big problem, the team of three had been here for ten days, and of course they had found a solution.

"I'm going to burst, attack me!" Zhao Wenlong suddenly shouted loudly.

Zhao Wenlong and Hou Mingming were facing the same situation, the endurance provided by Jiu Xing Du Nai surprised them, benefited them, and made them suffer and be happy.

Zhao Wenlong was going to burst?

What did that mean?

It meant... there were too many grimace monks coming from all around, he was going to use a large-scale damage Star Technique, but inevitably, with this punch, his vitality would be full, and even overflow!

This feeling was very good, but it was very easy to get carried away.

Hearing this, Hou Mingming raised her hand and shot an arrow, and saw an arrow emitting a red light soaring straight into the sky.

At a position ten meters above everyone's heads, the red arrow suddenly emitted a dazzling light, hanging in mid-air, and even lit up a large area atop the ancient pagoda.

Immediately afterward, the red arrow suddenly rotated in a circle, turning into a circle of red arrowheads, and the next moment, arrows rained down.

Zhao Wenlong roared: "I said I'm going to burst! Not let you explode!"

Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "Just take the bombing!"

Rumble...

Arrows rained down.

The red arrows were a type of explosive arrow, and the area where Jiang Xiao and the others were located directly turned into a bombing zone!

Indiscriminate attack!

Jiang Xiao raised his head and looked up at the rapidly shooting arrows, letting the arrows pierce his body, making "ding ding" sounds, and then exploding, consuming his vitality.

Hou Mingming's eyes were already glowing as she looked at Jiang Xiao, she liked his attitude so much.

Tough! Unrestrained!

Confidence came from strength!

Hou Mingming and Zhao Wenlong were more low-key, they had to protect their vital parts, even Hou Mingming was the same, she needed to be bombed, she needed the arrows to take away her excess vitality, but she didn't want to be shot through the head by her own arrows.

Around Zhao Wenlong, a thick mist suddenly appeared, reducing the damage caused by the fire explosion. His previous attacks were not as unrestrained as Hou Mingming's. He needed to have his vitality consumed, but he definitely didn't need such a strong consumption.

In the distance, the grimace monks besieging Fang Xingyun's Star Power shield stopped their movements, looking at the range of the arrow rain in astonishment, each with a look of vigilance, fearing that they would be affected.

And Fang Xingyun, floating in it, had bursts of different colors flashing in her eyes.

A weak little boy may make a woman's maternal love overflow, attracting concern and even charity. But a truly confident and powerful man will attract a woman's appreciation and favor.

For example, the little buzz cut bathed in the rain of explosive arrows now, with his arms spread flat, looking like Jesus being crucified.

If Fang Xingyun didn't know how powerful Jiang Xiao's Gold-quality Endurance was, she would have really thought that this boy was calmly and freely facing life and death.

However, Teacher Fang was overthinking it, Gold-quality Endurance?

What made Jiang Xiao so confident and unrestrained was the Diamond-level Great Endurance!

As for the two output gods over there, although they didn't have to run away in a panic, compared to Jiang Xiao, the gap was simply too obvious...

Hou Mingming tasted the bitter fruit, it was undeniable that Jiang Xiao's halo of Craving was probably the culprit. In the dizzy state of Hou Mingming's blood boiling and vitality swelling, she used too much force...

As a result, she and Zhao Wenlong had to resist in the rain of exploding arrows, and they no longer had the demeanor of experts they had just had.

On the other hand, little Jiu Xing Du Nai... Tsk tsk... was very comfortable.

"Xia Family Blade Technique upgraded! Gold quality Lv.8!"

Improved again? Training partner, I praise you!

Huh? Absent-mindedly... His clothes seemed to be about to be blown to pieces?

Under the Star Cloud, it was difficult for Awakened to cover their entire bodies with Star Power and protect their clothing from the attacks of enemies.

Just like when Jiang Xiao first entered high school, in the battle with Gao Junwei, Gao Junwei was covered in flames, which were his own flames that could ensure that his clothes were not burned, but after being attacked by Elena's Blast Flame, his clothes were also blown to pieces.

In short, in the scope of Awakened, one's own flames can be controlled. The enemy's flames are difficult to resist.

And above the Star River, Star Warriors could skillfully use Star Power to cover their bodies and protect themselves from the attacks of enemies. Whether it was their own flames or the enemy's flames, as long as they defended well, their clothes would not be burned.

Although Jiang Xiao was a small Star Cloud rookie, his control over Star Power was not bad, and his Star Power was much more abundant than that of ordinary Star Cloud Awakened, so Jiang Xiao could barely keep his clothes relatively intact in such a rain of explosive arrows.

In the rain of exploding arrows, Jiang Xiao had been using Star Power to protect his clothes, but he had just received information from the Inner Vision Star Chart and he had been a little distracted...

"Wow! Abs! Unexpectedly, little Jiu Xing Du Nai has some goods?" A female voice came, with a very penetrating sound, passing through the rain of bombardment and entering everyone's ears.

As the rain of arrows dissipated, everyone turned to look, and saw a petite "Spider-Man."

Well... to be precise, it was a short-haired girl, who was climbing on the wall more than ten meters high in a Spider-Man pose, and a pair of almond eyes were carefully looking at the battle below.

The seventh floor atop the ancient pagoda was just below the Sacred Ruins. The trio's battlefield had a brief respite after the bombing, but soon the grimace monks pounced again.

Jiang Xiao swung his blade, and a cyan glow appeared on the blade, and the crowd retreated!

Then, he looked up at the "gecko" and said, "Don't look! It's charged!"

"Tch, I have them too, just look back." The girl said, originally crawling on the wall, her body rolled to the side, and she turned into lying on the wall.

Then... then she lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing four abs, and then quickly let go of her hand, and her clothes instantly fell down, blocking her proud little abdomen again.

Oh my god~

Jiang Xiao shouted loudly: "Abs so beautiful? Surprisingly, they are comparable to my family's husky? State your name!"

Eh? Wait, did I expose something...

"Let's go, time's up." Fang Xingyun suddenly said, "3 minutes, collect the Star Beads, and go down the pagoda."

"Hehe, Teacher Fang is so strict." The girl stuck to the wall high above, and said with a chuckle.

Fang Xingyun also glared at the other party with a smile, and said, "Little girl, you finally got a spot in the competition? Is Xiangnan Military Academy fun?"

The girl said in a Beijing accent: "Everything is good, but the management is too strict. In four years, I don't seem to have left the campus..."

Fang Xingyun said reproachfully: "I told you to come to the Imperial Capital Star Martial University long ago, but you had to run so far."

The girl curled her lips: "I don't care, I just like soldiers."

Speaking of this, the girl's eyes turned, quite intelligent, and said, "I brought two soldier teammates, both of them are especially powerful!"

Jiang Xiao swung away a Silver Monk and said, "Where are they? Why didn't I see them?"

The girl snorted and said, "Northwest corner, back to back, they are fighting happily. I'll crawl around and scout the enemy situation."

The word "crawl" was used very vividly...

Fang Xingyun smiled and urged, "Have you packed up? We're going down the pagoda."

The girl looked at the hurried figures of the few people and said, "See you in three days, Teacher Fang, you have to be merciful then."

Interestingly, whether it was the Imperial Capital Star Martial University or the top powerhouse Xiangnan Military Academy, neither side had mentioned the matter of forming an alliance.

Jiang Xiao and the others had a full pocket of Star Beads, and were very satisfied with this training camp, and were also full of confidence in the upcoming selection competition.

See you in three days!
