Chapter 189 Wild
江晓 got to his feet, looking cautious as he stared at the husky wolf in the distance, which exuded wildness and a strong aura of danger.

This aura!

This temperament!

As expected of Xinghai Yan...

江晓 stepped forward, and the husky wolf continued to fixate on him with its fierce eyes.

"Are you... are you okay?" 江晓 asked softly.

"Fine," Xia Yan replied, holding her greatsword in front of her, finally willing to take her eyes off 江晓.

She slowly released her grip, and the massive greatsword in front of her quietly transformed, gradually becoming a phantom and disappearing without a trace.

江晓's heart stirred, and he said, "The feeling of Manifesting Stars as Weapons must be pretty good, right?"

"Yeah," Xia Yan nodded. "I need some time to digest the greatsword techniques in my head. It helped me revisit a lot and systematically integrate these greatsword techniques.

It's hard to imagine that all these martial skills were painstakingly cultivated by me, but it's as if I'm receiving new knowledge."

江晓 said, "Besides greatsword techniques, does your Manifesting Stars as Weapons have any other effects? My Flower Blade has sharpness and tearing effects."

Xia Yan nodded. "It should have some. Remember when you experimented with the Flower Blade and summoned that giant flower blade? The one that descended from the sky?"

江晓 was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his chin, puzzled. "The time I fainted?"

"Yeah," Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly, and she suddenly raised her right hand.

That expression made 江晓's heart palpitate.

Since reaching Xinghai, her entire temperament had changed. The crazy laughter of the past now carried endless heroism and an indescribable sense of freedom.

The next moment, 江晓 suddenly turned around!

"Rumble..."

He saw a giant two-handed sword falling from the sky, crashing down and piercing heavily into the ground!

The giant sword continued to thrust downwards inch by inch. With unparalleled momentum, it seemed that nothing could stop its destiny to pierce through.

The surging airwaves were turbulent and overwhelming, spreading in all directions.

Soil and rocks splattered everywhere, flying onto 江晓's body. 江晓 instinctively shielded his eyes with one hand and took a step back.

Not far away, the giant two-handed sword, more than ten meters long, was half-buried in the soil. The churning star power also shattered the surrounding ground, blasting out a huge pit.

"Tsk, tsk..." As the giant sword came to a stop, 江晓 struggled to look up at the "skyscraper" and couldn't help but click his tongue and sigh softly.

Behind him came Xia Yan's slightly teasing voice, "What was that move called again?"

江晓 was visibly stunned for a moment, then hesitated slightly and said, "A Letter of Divorce?"

Xia Yan "hmph"-ed and said, "You really know how to name things."

江晓 turned to look at Xia Yan and said, "You stole my move and you're complaining about the name I gave it? Did you eat your own conscience?"

Xia Yan: ???

江晓: "..."

In front of the giant two-handed sword, like a skyscraper, two small figures stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

江晓 felt that the atmosphere was wrong and quickly changed the subject. "I have many more moves. I can provide your Manifesting Stars as Weapons with more ways to attack. Do you want to learn them?"

Hearing this, Xia Yan curled her lips and turned her head away. "Hmph."

"Oh, acting proud now," 江晓 said with a chuckle. "Call me Little Leather Brother, and I'll teach you everything."

Xia Yan scratched her chestnut short hair, looking quite distressed.

江晓 nodded secretly in his heart: Yes, this is the familiar formula.

Xia Yan: "Thank you."

江晓 was slightly stunned and thought he was hallucinating. "What?"

Xia Yan said softly, "I have 28 star slots and am called a genius, but without your help, I would be struggling at the peak of the Star River like everyone else, and it might take years before I could touch the threshold of the Star Ocean stage."

What's going on?

Did she discover her conscience?

江晓 looked Xia Yan up and down. Your change of subject is so awkward, okay?

Oh, I see...

江晓 said weakly, "A warm offensive is useless. You'll have to call me 'Little Leather Brother' sooner or later."

Xia Yan suddenly raised her head, raised her eyebrows, and kicked over.

"Eh?" 江晓 subconsciously raised his knee to block. Years of hard training had created terrible muscle memory. His arms habitually shielded his face and protected his jaw. A huge force came from his calf, and whoosh...

Dust filled the air as 江晓 slid backwards on one leg. He raised his hand and cast a Blessing.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance!

Xia Yan shifted her body slightly. Years of combat had made this great fighter extremely sensitive to danger.

This simple shift allowed her to easily avoid 江晓's Blessing beam.

However, Xia Yan never expected that the Blessing, which should have been Silver quality, had been adjusted by 江晓 to Platinum quality...

This beam of light was incredibly huge, at least five meters in diameter, completely engulfing Xia Yan's proud figure.

That wasn't all. The giant beam of light was so violent that it even splattered starlight outwards.

Xia Yan's faint voice came from the blinding beam of light, "Ah~"

......

A few minutes later, in the Gardener 皮's Shadow Training Space.

Xia Yan stood in front of the glass display case, looking angrily at the cloak and mask in front of her, or rather, "annoyed and embarrassed" would be more accurate.

Xia Yan felt this way, of course, not because of the Sea Soul Mask and the Soul-Devouring Clothes in front of her.

But because of Jiang Xiao's toxic milk earlier.

This was understandable. Anyone who had just been promoted to the Star Ocean stage and become a first-line powerhouse on Earth, full of confidence and ambition, would suddenly be milked into a pile of mud by Jiang Xiao's Platinum Great Blessing. No one would feel comfortable, right?

Of course, she might be able to get over it psychologically, but the physical comfort was real, um...

At this time, 江晓 was also very tactful, standing behind Xia Yan with a well-behaved look, without saying a word.

Beside him, the "Warden" Soul-Devouring Clothes floated beside 江晓, circling around him, wondering why its master was so quiet. The Soul-Devouring Clothes were trying to find a way to make its master happy.

Jiang Xiao grabbed the Soul-Devouring Clothes and hung it on his arm, then looked up ahead.

In front of the display case, Xia Yan pressed one hand on the Sea Soul Mask and closed her fiery eyes.

After a few seconds, the Sea Soul Mask quietly shattered, turning into specks of starlight, but instead of merging into Xia Yan's body, they scattered under the night sky.

Xia Yan suddenly opened her eyes, her big eyes filled with anger, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

In the display case, the hem of the Soul-Devouring Clothes' robe moved on its own, gradually accelerating.

Seeing that things were not right, 江晓 quickly stepped forward and put his arm around Xia Yan's shoulder, retreating backwards.

Jiang Xiao, who possessed the Soul-Devouring Clothes, understood the meaning of the Soul-Devouring Clothes' "actions" in the display case. It should be a sign of resistance. Perhaps Xia Yan's pressure was too great, and the biological instinct made the Soul-Devouring Clothes react this way.

Ever since 江晓 returned from the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean and placed the Sea Soul Mask and Soul-Devouring Clothes in front of Xia Yan, she had been staring at these two items, and the mask and cloak had given her good feedback.

Xia Yan never expected that when it came down to business, the Sea Soul Mask would shatter like this, even though they had been on good terms.

It was difficult for 江晓 to understand Xia Yan's mental activity at this time, but the Soul-Devouring Clothes' tendency to resist should definitely not have appeared.

"I'll talk to it. You step back and wait a moment," 江晓 said, ignoring Xia Yan, and went straight to the display case, grabbing the Soul-Devouring Clothes and pulling it out.

"Don't have any resistance in your heart, and don't resist!" 江晓 let go of the Soul-Devouring Clothes, letting it float in front of him.

The Soul-Devouring Clothes on his arm also floated up, standing beside 江晓, looking at the "prisoner" in front of him.

"Do you know the consequences of her failing to absorb it? You saw the end of the Sea Soul Mask! Shattered! Death!" 江晓 suddenly clapped his hands, then opened his palms and said, "It'll be gone in an instant!"

Soul-Devouring Clothes: "..."

Jiang Xiao pointed to the dense mist in the Soul-Devouring Clothes' hood and said, "You don't want to die."

The Soul-Devouring Clothes nodded lightly.

Jiang Xiao continued, "You're still a cub. If you stay with us for a few more years and your strength increases, I'll fill you up to Diamond quality! I'll make you a Diamond bigshot like my Soul-Devouring Clothes!"

The Soul-Devouring Clothes didn't seem to understand 江晓's meaning and tilted its head, looking... a little cute?

Jiang Xiao said, "Follow her, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and soak in star power every day. Is there anything better in this world?

As long as you become her Star Pet, star power and strength will all be yours. Once you resist, once you fail, you'll be gone! The beautiful world, the vast amount of time, all gone!"

Soul-Devouring Clothes: "..."

Jiang Xiao continued to brainwash it like crazy, "You want to become her Star Pet! Because you want to get all of this!"

The Soul-Devouring Clothes hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.

Jiang Xiao said, "You won't have any resistance. On the contrary, you crave to be embedded in her Star Chart!"

This time, the Soul-Devouring Clothes nodded much faster.

Jiang Xiao patted its hood with both hands, frantically encouraging it, "Then what are you waiting for? Food, strength, the future, everything is in your master's hands. Quickly go snuggle into her Star Chart!"

Behind him, Xia Yan was speechless. She suddenly wanted to record this scene, but when she reached into her pocket, she remembered that she had just returned from the Green Field and her phone was still deposited with the team leader.

If she had her phone, the scene of one person and two cloaks, three little guys forming a circle to have a meeting, would be really comical...

What's more, Coach Jiang was frantically encouraging the Soul-Devouring Clothes cub.

"Yes! That's right!" 江晓 slapped the Soul-Devouring Clothes' hood, "That's the attitude!"

The Soul-Devouring Clothes nodded heavily, bumped 江晓's body away, and floated towards Xia Yan.

Xia Yan: "..."

The Soul-Devouring Clothes cub directly draped itself over Xia Yan, and Xia Yan reacted quickly, but her method of absorbing Star Pets seemed to be different from others.

Er Wei was very violent. When absorbing Star Pets, she would use the Lynx Star Chart to cruelly eat the Star Pet in one bite.

Han Jiangxue's methods were equally terrifying, using the white flame Star Chart to directly swallow the Star Pet.

But Xia Yan... she doesn't even open her Star Chart when absorbing Star Pets?

Whoosh...

The cloak on Xia Yan shattered with a bang, and specks of starlight merged into Xia Yan's body.

"Ha..." Xia Yan sighed softly, closed her eyes tightly, and layers of thick star power spread out from her body, stirring up the equally dense star power in the training space.

江晓 and the Soul-Devouring Clothes stood side by side, looking forward to Xia Yan in the distance.

A few seconds later, Xia Yan opened her eyes. The angry and embarrassed look had finally changed, and her expression was both surprised and delighted as she looked at Coach Jiang.

Is it real?

Is the pre-war mobilization really useful?

The Soul-Devouring Clothes had actually become her Star Pet!

江晓 gave Xia Yan a thumbs up, grinned, and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

All that's missing is a flash on those white teeth, and it'll be just like in anime!

In fact, Jiang Xiao had no idea in his heart. It would be normal if she couldn't absorb the Star Pet. After all, this wasn't the Little Candle's dependence. It wasn't a matter of both sides hitting it off and being able to decide on their own.

But now it seemed that Mr. Di Lian's guess might be a bit reasonable.

For those creatures with high intelligence, if you don't absorb them forcefully, but cultivate feelings in advance, or reach an agreement with them, the chances of successful absorption seem to really increase?

江晓 said, "How do you feel?"

"Good," Xia Yan tried to feel it, and then a piece of Soul-Devouring Clothes draped over her, and the hood covered her eyes, revealing only her lower face.

Under the majestic aura, she already had the potential of a great demon king!

...

If there are no accidents, there should be four updates today, 12, 17, 20, 24.

Yu is preparing to sit himself to death in front of the computer...

Last day, frantically asking for monthly tickets!
