Chapter 22 July 22nd

In the Second Tail's Calamity Shadow training space.

Jiang Xiao held the Fang Tian Halberd, his face full of surprise, and retreated repeatedly.

His surprise stemmed from the information transmitted from the Star Map within his body through synesthesia.

"Fang Tian Halberd Mastery Level Up! Gold Quality Lv.9!"

Hard work inevitably yields results, which is also the benefit of the Star Map within.

Although the level of combat skills is something one cultivates oneself, compared to others, Jiang Xiao has a "data-ized" interface, clear at a glance, which allows him to feel his own growth more clearly than others.

What are we waiting for?

Another upgrade would improve the quality, from gold to platinum, which would definitely yield a new skill. Skill points should be spent on this kind of "blade"!

Far away in the Olympic Arena of the Willpower Nation, Jiang Xiao threw the 100 skill points he had just obtained from his victory directly into the Star Map within, and then continued to gesture to the audience in all directions, slowly retreating.

"Fang Tian Halberd Mastery Level Up! Platinum Quality Lv.0!"

Li Li: "China wins! The referee blows the whistle! Semi-finals! Pi God is here!"

Ye Xuncang also clapped her hands gently and exclaimed with a shake of her head: "This looks like a very standard match, but facing the ghost-like Jacob, Little Pi was calm and unhurried. The Fang Tian Halberd seemed to paint a beautiful dream on the field, making people mesmerized!"

Li Li exclaimed loudly: "Incredible talent, unimaginable, how much effort did Pi God put in behind the scenes! If it were two years ago, and Jiang Xiaopi told you that he would use the Fang Tian Halberd to fight in the World Cup again, would you believe it?"

Ye Xuncang suddenly said: "I believe it."

Li Li: "......"

Ye Xuncang thought again of the fear of being dominated by Jiang Xiao's predictions, and said quietly: "I believe everything he says."

Li Li stuttered obviously, and hurriedly pulled the topic back: "People say that being a jack of all trades is worse than being a master of one, but I feel that Jiang Xiaopi is very proficient in everything?"

Ye Xuncang also realized her problem and hurriedly cooperated with Li Li and said, "Next, let's see if our Jiu Xing Du Nai disciple - Yi Qingchen, can win another semi-final spot."

Li Li: "However, Yi Qingchen's match is in the afternoon. The next match is between American player Ao Xing Blake vs. Martha from the Apennine Peninsula."

Jiang Xiao, on the field, defeated Jacob and walked back to the locker room.

In the Fen City Military Base, North Jiang Province, Jiang Xiao in the Calamity Shadow training space was feeling the Platinum quality Fang Tian Halberd skills through his main body.

Opposite him, Second Tail was already used to Jiang Xiao's sudden daze.

No way, who made the sparring partner the boss (ye)?

A nimble warrior in the Star Sea stage, fighting an assistant in the Star River peak stage... Second Tail, who purely wanted to learn from the other party's skills, really needed to handle him with care.

People use the words "afraid of dropping him in their hands, afraid of melting him in their mouths" to describe one person's care and concern for another.

This sentence is more suitable for Second Tail if it is changed to "afraid of squeezing him to death in her hands, afraid of crushing him in her mouth"...

Second Tail silently looked at Jiang Xiao, she hadn't seen him so happy in a while, to be precise, this expression represents... happiness?

Second Tail was a little surprised. Sparring Partner Pi spent his days in this dark Calamity Shadow Ruins, accompanying her in training and teaching her great blade skills.

Sparring Partner Pi spent his days fighting except for sleeping, never seeing the sun, never seeing another person.

Under such circumstances, no one would be in a good mood, it would be good enough not to go crazy, but at this time, Sparring Partner Pi was smiling very happily, which meant that there must be good news from his other body.

Second Tail said: "You're very happy."

Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, accepting a large amount of Fang Tian Halberd skills in his mind, and did not respond.

Second Tail probed: "Did you win the match?"

Jiang Xiao nodded again: "Winning is a must, I just advanced to the semi-finals over there in the Willpower Nation."

As sharp as Second Tail, she frowned slightly and said, "No, you're not happy because of the match, what happened?"

Jiang Xiao: "Enlightenment, a sudden flash of understanding, wow, Toxic Milk King, you're too strong..."

Second Tail: "......"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao picked up the Fang Tian Halberd and danced it back and forth in front of him.

The Platinum level Fang Tian Halberd is not an increase in "offense", but an increase in "defense". Jiang Xiao discovered that the advanced skills given by the Fang Tian Halberd were leading Jiang Xiao to the path of taking on a group by himself?

One person fighting multiple people?

Unload, turn, carry, wipe, bring...

Deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces?

Using the stones of other mountains to polish one's own jade?

Second Tail curiously watched Jiang Xiao practicing the Fang Tian Halberd. She was obviously a layman when it came to Fang Tian Halberd, but with her level, she could still see the difference in Jiang Xiao.

Was he practicing how to defend?

And it wasn't the kind of hard resistance, but more like thinking about how to use the enemy's strength, or even abduct the enemy's weapon, to attack another person while defending?

What was he thinking in his little head?

How should he fight when facing multiple people?

"Damn!" Jiang Xiao put down the Fang Tian Halberd with his right hand and slapped his forehead with his left hand. This sudden yell startled Second Tail.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Second Tail, his face full of excitement: "I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it!"

Second Tail: "......"

It wasn't that Jiang Xiao had to single-handedly challenge a group, but the training direction given by this skill was like this.

The great blade skill gave "Sword Flicking Style" at the Platinum level, and "Dual Blade Style" at the Diamond level, both of which were frantically increasing the ability of single-soldier combat and single combat.

But this Fang Tian Halberd...

It's domineering!

No wonder it's something used by short-lived geniuses!

If you practice well, you will have a certain ability to support you to fight a group of people alone, and you will also think that you want to fight a group of people alone, can the result be good?

In Jiang Xiao's mind, the imaginary enemies imagined in front of him were actually three Second Tails...

If this were the real situation, Jiang Xiao's ashes would have been scattered by Second Tail!

"Come on, try it." Second Tail held a pair of steel giant blades in each hand. In the training process, she did not dare to幻化迷雾器, otherwise, the weapon in Jiang Xiao's hand would easily be split by her. Ordinary steel giant blades were more suitable for "handling with care."

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao stabbed out with the halberd.

Second Tail held the blade in her left hand, gently flicking it to deflect the tip of the halberd that was stabbing towards her face. She held the blade in her right hand and stabbed straight forward.

Jiang Xiao held the halberd in both hands, following the force of the deflected halberd tip, he pushed the halberd shaft with the force, and also deflected the giant blade that Second Tail stabbed towards his chest. Not only that, Jiang Xiao also used a lot of force, and brought Second Tail's giant blade to slash towards her side.

"Hmm?" Second Tail staggered her steps and took a step back, saying, "There's no one beside me."

Although Jiang Xiao's body was very fragile, Second Tail absolutely believed in his skills. He couldn't make the slightest extra movement in the process of fighting, and Jiang Xiao's choice just now was obviously superfluous and useless.

"Uh." Jiang Xiao blinked his eyes, and for a moment, he didn't know how to explain.

What kind of person was Second Tail?

Her fighting intelligence was not a joke. She subconsciously looked to the right and said, "In your imagination, there is another person on my right."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Seeing Jiang Xiao's silent appearance, Second Tail immediately understood, her eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "You mean, you are fighting two of me at the same time."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said weakly, "Actually, there are three, there's another one on your left."

Second Tail: !!!

Jiang Xiao: "......"

"Is one of me no longer a challenge for you?" Second Tail's face was ugly, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Jiang Xiao, if you want, I can let you die within three seconds."

"No, no, you misunderstood, misunderstood." Jiang Xiao directly threw the Fang Tian Halberd on the ground, first ensuring that he was out of combat form. Second Tail would not bother to attack unarmed people.

At this time, Jiang Xiao was even safer by throwing away his weapon.

This move of retreating to advance was very comfortable~

"Hey, calm down, calm down." Jiang Xiao stepped forward and carefully tugged on Second Tail's sleeve, saying, "I just want to try a new routine and develop a new path. One of you can definitely satisfy me..."

Second Tail's face was gloomy and uncertain. After a few seconds, she directly threw the double blades on the ground: "You have no dinner."

As she spoke, the tall figure flickered and disappeared.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly turned his head: "Don't!"

In his sight, Second Tail had already opened the door of the Calamity Shadow space in the distance, stepped away, and the space door was subsequently closed.

Leaving Jiang Xiao's lonely figure in the darkness.

At the same time, in the locker room of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Willpower Nation.

Jiang Xiao, sitting on the bench, got up and walked towards the locker, pouting: "Yo, throwing a tantrum..."

In the locker room of the China team, there were only Jiang Xiao and Yi Qingchen.

But Yi Qingchen turned a deaf ear to Jiang Xiao's actions. She buried her head in her phone, constantly clicking on something.

Jiang Xiao also took out his schoolbag from the cabinet, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Second Tail, with only a simple word: "Hungry."

Although I am a pile of star power, I can also eat and drink! Does star power have no human rights!?

You only let the horse run, but you don't feed the horse grass, the horse will kick you away!

"Yay~" Not far away, Yi Qingchen on the bench clenched her fist and waved it in the air.

Immediately, Yi Qingchen realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly covered her mouth with one hand, but her big eyes were still staring at the screen, seemingly observing something carefully.

Not getting a response from Second Tail for a long time, Jiang Xiao came back and looked at Yi Qingchen curiously, saying, "What are you looking at, so absorbed?"

This little buzz cut was a little strange today. She was not the kind of person who would excitedly wave her fist and shout "Yay." She had always been quiet and obedient off the field.

Especially after confirming their master-disciple relationship, she was respectful to Jiang Xiao. It was impossible for her to play with her mobile phone and leave Jiang Xiao aside.

Yi Qingchen took out her mobile phone embarrassedly and put the screen in front of Jiang Xiao: "I drew you."

Jiang Xiao: ???

You are a disciple at home! Even my sister doesn't dare to draw me! You...

Jiang Xiao blinked his eyes, but saw a diamond-colored character card with SSR marked in the upper right corner.

"This is me?" Jiang Xiao looked at the picture above, wearing a China team uniform, scratching the back of his head and grinning. Isn't this the makeup photo from the previous session?

Jiang Xiao curiously took the phone and looked at it, a piece of value 99......

Jiang Xiao suddenly realized: "Oh, that game, I remember, has it been released? Can you play it on your phone?"

Yi Qingchen: "I'm not sure, I don't play games either."

Jiang Xiao said unhappily: "If you don't play games, why are you drawing cards? Do you have too much money?"

"Money?" Yi Qingchen looked thoughtful, as if she had never thought about "money".

Jiang Xiao glanced at Yi Qingchen and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.

Wow~ This should be a little rich woman who has never considered money at all.

Jiang Xiao clicked on his card, but saw an opening animation, and Yi Qingchen also curiously came over.

He saw Jiang Xiao's character model walking out from behind a huge Star Martial World Cup trophy.

He turned the giant blade in his hand, suddenly held the giant blade in both hands, pretending to be a "lumberjack", and was about to swing the knife to chop the World Cup, but stopped at the last moment.

He saw that the little buzz cut pointed at the person in front of the screen, then scratched the back of his head with one hand, grinned, and smiled嘿嘿, looking like "I tricked you".

"Pfft..." Yi Qingchen covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing, "Pipi is so cute."

Jiang Xiao: ???
