“Are both students ready!?” The referee shifted his gaze from his watch, turning his head to look at them in turn.

Jiang Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes red-rimmed. Beneath the dark clouds, gusts of cool wind blew past.

Marta, however, didn't respond, simply crouching down.

The referee waved his small flag: "Doo! The match begins!"

A drizzle immediately began to fall. Jiang Xiao raised his hand and unleashed a Silence. But even before the Silence, Marta's body suddenly transformed into a puddle of water, scattering across the green field.

Jiang Xiao's eyes narrowed, holding his Fang Tian Halberd behind his back, carefully surveying his surroundings.

The light rain falling from the sky wasn't just Purifying Tears, but also Domain Tears. Even without looking around, Jiang Xiao could perceive any rustling on the vast green field.

Jiang Xiao's Tear Rain series of star techniques seemed to give Marta's water-based star techniques even more room to display their prowess. In a stadium with extremely dense water elements, her extremely tall and fiery figure almost instantly coalesced!

That body pieced together from water droplets appeared one meter behind Jiang Xiao!

Excellent!

No more messing around!

Direct melee combat!

Jiang Xiao turned and thrust out with his halberd. He liked people who were ruthless and didn't talk much!

Stab~

"Ah!?"

"What? It's over?"

"No way..." Amidst a chorus of exclamations, Jiang Xiao pierced Marta's chest with his halberd!

Marta tightly gripped the well-shaped tip of the halberd with one hand, blood trickling from her palm clutching the crescent-shaped blade.

And the large hole pierced through her chest, seemingly puncturing her heart, gurgled with blood flowing outwards.

Everyone was a little dazed, including Jiang Xiao.

No one expected the match to end so quickly!

"Cough cough, cough cough..." Marta coughed incessantly, her pupils almost pinprick-sized, blankly staring at the halberd tip deeply embedded in her chest. She slowly raised her head, looked at Jiang Xiao, and slowly extended her right hand.

As if to grab Jiang Xiao's clothes, but even with her excellent physical talent and long reach, there was still a huge gap compared to the two-and-a-half-meter Fang Tian Halberd.

Marta's long arms flailed randomly in the air, blood trickling from the corners of her mouth.

Scumbag skin appeared!

Faced with the beauty before him, Jiang Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. Ignoring the pitiful Marta in front of him, he suddenly twisted the Fang Tian Halberd, letting the halberd tip piercing her chest turn sideways, as if to reconfirm her death...

"Heh heh, heh heh..." Marta, covered in blood and looking extremely miserable, suddenly chuckled. Her wounded and helpless expression transformed into a bizarre smile. She quietly looked at Jiang Xiao, and in the next moment, her body suddenly turned into water.

Whoosh...

A shower of water droplets sprinkled down, dissipating into the rain curtain with specks of star power.

In a close-up shot, Jiang Xiao grinned, revealing a disdainful smile, running a hand from front to back through his wet buzz cut.

That scene...

"Oh my god..." Ye Xunyang pressed a hand to her chest. Seeing Xiao Pi again after two years, in addition to keeping that round buzz cut, his every move seemed to have an indescribable style.

Well, that's right. At the last World Cup, he was still a minor...

Jiang Xiao retracted his Fang Tian Halberd, suddenly using it to prop himself up, and abruptly kicked backwards.

Behind Jiang Xiao, a Marta pieced together from water droplets reappeared, holding a pair of combat daggers, making a cross in front of her chest, but was kicked away by Jiang Xiao's foot encased in azure light.

Once, in the locker room, Yi Qingchen had asked Jiang Xiao if he could distinguish which was Marta's real body and which was her water clone.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao could state: he couldn't tell!

Even the Marta who had just been stabbed and bled was a water clone. The effect of this star technique was truly terrifying!

It was one thing to be able to conjure appearance, hair, clothing, and weapons, but even blood could be conjured!?

This was almost as good as Jiang Xiao's Platinum·Decoy!

Marta, who had been kicked eight meters away, was instantly enveloped in a pillar of light.

Jiang Xiao's figure was like a ghost, appearing directly behind Marta, stabbing out with his halberd again!

Stab~

Another bloody hole. Jiang Xiao even used his Fang Tian Halberd to lift Marta into the air.

Not far away, another water clone shakily got up from the grass.

Jiang Xiao casually threw Marta, skewered on the halberd tip, to the ground. The moment the woman landed, a puddle of water splattered on the lawn.

In front, the Marta who reappeared, holding a combat dagger in each hand, stood firmly in the rain curtain. She reached out and smoothed her slightly tangled brown hair.

Marta slowly opened her mouth and said, "Your reaction exceeded my expectations."

Jiang Xiao looked at the Marta in front of him who had finally smoothed her hair, and also said, "Your clones are very advanced, even blood can be conjured with star power."

"Do you like that taste too?" Three meters to Jiang Xiao's left rear, a Marta pieced together.

Jiang Xiao turned his head slightly, but saw another Marta holding a combat dagger behind his right rear.

The third Marta smiled sweetly and whispered, "Have you ever tasted your own blood? In a moment... I'll let you taste it, okay?"

Jiang Xiao's expression was strange. He turned around, looking at the three completely identical Martas. In his Domain Tears perception, the three Martas were truly identical, even the grass clippings on their pant legs were identical.

"Are you ready?"

"Are you ready?"

"Are you ready?"

Three charming voices came from three places, overlapping and floating into Jiang Xiao's ears.

3D surround sound?

Had Jiang Xiao met someone who shared his interests?

His expression was solemn, seeming a little nervous. He suddenly said, "Wait!"

The three Martas raised their eyebrows slightly: "Hmm? Are you scared?"

Jiang Xiao suddenly grinned: "What about the fourth one?"

Marta's expression froze: "What?"

Jiang Xiao said, "The three of you aren't enough for me to drink with."

Marta: ???

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao gestured to the Marta in front of him, saying, "Boiled edamame."

He tilted his head to the right: "Spicy peanuts."

He tilted his head to the left: "Smashed cucumber."

"Heh." With a soft hum, Boiled Edamame stabbed over with a knife. Jiang Xiao raised his halberd and deflected it, using Boiled Edamame's momentum to directly bring her towards Spicy Peanuts.

Jiang Xiao somersaulted and kicked towards Smashed Cucumber, grinning and saying, "You want to start drinking with just three dishes? Where's your fourth clone? Bring me another dish!"

Can your three dishes handle this pot of Northern Jiang Xiao Shao from China?

In just one exchange, Spicy Peanuts, who was brought towards Boiled Edamame, and the two's fiery and alluring figures, actually merged together!

Turning into another famous dish: Peanut and Edamame in One! (Hua Mao Yi Ti)

The two Martas staggered, but quickly separated, returning to their original forms. Peanuts were peanuts, and edamame was edamame.

This water clone... the effect was too terrifying, right?

Jiang Xiao's decoy couldn't fuse together, unable to avoid collisions and harm in this way.

And Smashed Cucumber behind Jiang Xiao had already been heavily kicked away by him!

No one expected the battle to unfold like this!

Li Li rubbed his head, looking incredulous. Through the audio, he heard Jiang Xiao's pure Chinese. Li Li couldn't help but say, "Marta's Chinese is not bad, and Jiang Xiaopi is... uh... introducing our country's food culture to Marta."

Ye Xunyang's expression was strange, and said, "This is a good thing, but are these dishes... a little vegetarian?"

The two people's conversation was transmitted through the screen to thousands of households in China, making people laugh.

"Look at Xiao Pi! Learn from Xiao Pi! I'm the lewdest when I have the right posture! Highlighting! Four dishes are required to start drinking!"

"So now the question is, is my brother-in-law's figure maintained so well by eating peanuts and edamame?"

"Pi Pi is so hardworking, when he comes back, I'll feed you at the Imperial Capital Star Martial, I'll buy you pig's head meat to eat (′??)?(._.`)”

"This grandson is really mean, subtly scolding people for being vegetarian."

On the online live broadcast platform, layers of barrages floated across the screen.

And on the green field, the Apennine vegetarian dishes were unhappy!

Marta's body was entangled with dark red stars, her speed suddenly increased by a notch. The three vegetarian dishes rushed forward fiercely, their combat knives actually merging together.

Jiang Xiao, in the encirclement, directly teleported, not only leaving the encirclement, but even raising his hand and throwing a Silence.

In the next moment, Jiang Xiao frowned slightly.

The three Martas actually didn't disappear at all.

What did this represent?

Either there was no main body among them, or the water clone didn't need the star power support from the main body, and it was already considered a complete star technique.

The Silence domain silenced people's star power, prohibiting humans from using star techniques, but not prohibiting star techniques from appearing in the area.

However, in Jiang Xiao's sight and perception, the three water clones actually turned into water droplets and sprinkled down.

Then, the ground beneath Jiang Xiao's feet trembled slightly.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly retreated, and a combat dagger stabbed out from the ground.

Swish... swish... swish...

Jiang Xiao retreated one after another. In the audience's view, every time Jiang Xiao moved his feet, a combat dagger would emerge from the ground. The sharp blade carried a rich star power, and each stab even came with a hint of blade energy, stabbing towards the mid-air.

No one knew the power of the blade energy, because Jiang Xiao's dodging was extremely fast. He teleported and appeared high in the air, continuously throwing Silence downwards.

Behind Jiang Xiao, three figures quietly appeared.

Jiang Xiao's movements stiffened, his body flashed again, his feet stepping on the ground, and he immediately understood.

He could fly in the rain curtain through the Domain Tears star technique, and the reason wouldn't be explained. To sum it up in one sentence: it was possible, but not necessary!

The three figures that quietly appeared behind Jiang Xiao also silently shattered!

Jiang Xiao's figure appeared in the center circle, and the three Marta's figures almost appeared in the center circle at the same time.

In the Domain Tears perception, Jiang Xiao finally discovered a subtle difference!

One of the Martas appeared first, and the other two were pieced together afterwards!

Perhaps it was difficult for people to see who came first with the naked eye, but in Jiang Xiao's Domain Tears, everything was unmistakable.

In other words, one was the main body's water teleport, and the other two were water clones summoned quickly?

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao stabbed backwards with his halberd, *tzz*!

The sharp halberd tip intertwined with the combat daggers held by the Marta in front. Jiang Xiao's body suddenly moved forward, his hands holding the middle of the Fang Tian Halberd's long shaft, and pushed back fiercely.

The Marta rushing from behind was startled and hurriedly blocked with her daggers.

*Whoosh*...

Jiang Xiao held the middle of the Fang Tian Halberd's long shaft, suddenly leaned back, grabbed the Fang Tian Halberd wrapped in azure light with one hand, and turned it in a circle in front of his chest.

At the same time, the three Martas retreated together, not being touched by the azure light. The three of them slid back two marks on the lawn.

Jiang Xiao also straightened up in an instant, holding the Fang Tian Halberd, pointing it remotely at one of the Martas. A second later, he shook his head slightly.

The well-shaped halberd tip, following Jiang Xiao's body rotation, pointed at another Marta.

Jiang Xiao grinned and nodded slightly to the Marta in front of him: "Hello."

Marta's beautiful eyes widened, she smoothed her wet hair, her smile growing bigger and bigger, and licked her lips excitedly: "Okay! Jiang Xiaopi! Hello!"

In the next moment, Jiang Xiao threw a Silence at Marta, and his body also instantly teleported into the Silence domain!

Melee combat!

Just do it!

I'm indeed very good,

I'm just afraid you won't be good in a moment!
