Yu
Chapter 867 Jiang Elong
There's another chapter at 20:30, currently working hard to revise it.
...
What Jiang Xiao didn't expect was that his Weibo reply to Ye Xunyang's question yesterday would be featured on CCTV news the next day.
Not only was it broadcast on CCTV news specifically covering the Star Warrior World Cup, but it was also aired on the comprehensive channel's morning news.
Jiang Xiao's Weibo exploded once again. Whether he truly had a "junior high school education" or not, these words were extremely endearing to fans.
Of course, there were some negative effects as well.
Many people didn't like such sharp and revealing words. Thousands of years of cultural heritage and cultivation, along with the overall atmosphere of Chinese society, made people hope that this defending champion could be more restrained, humble, and low-key.
But Jiang Xiao was simply stating the facts. He didn't want people to be arrogant, but neither should they belittle themselves.
At this moment, in the Fen City base in Beijiang, China, the Wei Yu Squad and a group of base soldiers were in a conference hall, watching the large screen in front of them, waiting for the Chinese team's first match.
Jiang Xiao was a member of the Wei Yu Squad. Because of his presence, the Fen City base organized off-duty and resting soldiers to watch the match, as a form of relaxation and adjustment.
When Jiang Xiao, wearing a national team uniform, appeared on the screen, the huge conference hall fell silent.
In front, the officer's voice came, "What are you all standing there for?"
Immediately, laughter erupted in the conference hall. The soldiers, who had been sitting upright, relaxed a lot. As Jiang Xiao, carrying two giant blades, waved at the camera, applause and whistles rang out in the hall.
And on the left side of the screen, CCTV's broadcast even displayed the words Jiang Xiao had said yesterday.
"This kid, I'm telling you..." Ying Ya couldn't help but grit his teeth, reading Jiang Xiao's words on the screen, and said, "I thought he was domineering enough in our team, but now it seems, I was too naive."
Fu Hei chuckled and nudged Li Yi Xu, who was next to him, with his elbow, saying, "He's fulfilling your expectations of him."
The night before Jiang Xiao left, the members of the Wei Yu Squad had comforted Jiang Xiao, and Li Yi Xu had also said to Jiang Xiao: Zhong Ling can only heal a few people in the team, but victory in the World Cup can inspire millions of people.
Li Yi Xu nodded and said, "He knows very well what he's doing, and he's been doing it all along. Maybe that's the purpose of him participating in the World Cup."
Tian Gou crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "If it's accompanied by a victory, this concept will be more convincing and will be more deeply rooted in people's hearts."
From the back, a hoarse voice came: "He will definitely win."
Er Wei's words were final, hoping that this was not just a beautiful wish.
On TV, the voice of the host Ye Xunyang came: "I believe everyone is familiar with player Jiang Xiaopi. Two years later, the defending champion returns again. I hope he can successfully defend his title. Bai Wan, what do you see is different about Xiaopi this year?"
Obviously, CCTV's host had changed again.
Bai Wan, um... is a more affectionate colleague's nickname. Bai Wan is just his name, his surname is Qian.
This name is very down-to-earth, perhaps entrusted with the good wishes of his family.
Qian Bai Wan's voice was impassioned and very infectious: "Dual blades, Jiang Xiaopi has actually picked up dual blades.
We all know that giant blades are originally two-handed weapons, does Jiang Xiaopi intend to wield two two-handed weapons? Or is he just using them as spare weapons?"
Ye Xunyang nodded: "Indeed, unfortunately, we haven't obtained too many internal training videos of the national team, and we don't know Jiang Xiaopi's current routine yet.
However, we do know a lot about that American player."
"That's right." Qian Bai Wan lowered his head, looking at the information on the table, and said, "Alice Johnson, a mage, her Star Power realm is the peak of the Star River.
Her Star Chart is an archangel holding the stars and moon, with 29 Star Slots. This is a very strong opponent, an all-around character who fights with her mind."
Saying that, Qian Bai Wan turned to look at Ye Xunyang and said, "The participating students in the World Cup are all geniuses, but this Alice is a genius among geniuses.
It is said that at the peak of the Star River stage, she has already touched the threshold of Huaxing Chengwu (transforming stars into martial prowess). Among the participating students in this individual competition, I'm afraid she's the only one.
Not to mention this year's World Cup students, how many Star Warriors in the world can touch the threshold of Huaxing Chengwu at the peak of the Star River stage?
Who can master the mysterious ability of Huaxing Chengwu under the Star Sea? This is simply too terrifying.
Huaxing Chengwu in the Star River stage not only reflects her intelligence, but also shows that her understanding of her own Star Chart is extremely deep.
This player is not the publicly recognized number one in the US team, but ranks in the upper middle of the team, but people believe that she has never used her full strength, and just didn't want to compete for the position of captain.
According to the information, she can summon stars and the moon to judge enemies."
"Yes." Ye Xunyang sighed softly, "It seems that Jiang Xiaopi is still following the rules of the last World Cup, and the players he is facing are all very, very strong."
Qian Bai Wan felt that something was wrong and hurriedly pulled it back, saying, "Of course, our defending champion Jiang Xiaopi is also a dragon among men, relying on his blessings and silences to forge a path of support and DPS...
Oh? The two players have already entered the arena, let's listen, is there a pre-match exchange segment?"
The pre-match exchange is also known as the pre-match trash talk segment.
There are no clear standards or rules on whether to turn on the microphone or not, or whether to record the sound, it all depends on the organizer's preferences.
"Hello, Jiang Xiaopi." Alice's standard Mandarin stunned Jiang Xiao.
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "Hello, hello to you too."
Alice switched back to English and said with a smile, "I only know this one sentence. I practiced it for a long time to correct my pronunciation."
Jiang Xiao nodded, not wanting to offend someone who was smiling at him, and said, "I heard that you're the only player in this competition who can Huaxing Chengwu. It seems I've won the lottery."
Alice shrugged her shoulders and said, "Regarding this point, our views are the same. Drawing you in the lottery, I also feel like I've won the lottery."
When she said the words "views are the same," Alice's pronunciation was very heavy, as if there was something implied in her words.
Jiang Xiao blinked and said, "So... you'll use your archangel to judge me?"
Alice nodded seriously and said, "Yes, at the first opportunity I find."
Jiang Xiao grinned and said, "Then you have to be careful when using it. I'm a dream chaser who wears the stars and moon, so the stars and moon favor me."
Alice smiled, looked at Jiang Xiao from a distance, and said, "What about you? Will you silence me, bless me? Will you pierce my heart at the first opportunity?"
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and nodded silently.
The microphones were always on during this pre-match trash talk segment, and the words of the two players were transmitted all over the world, leaving the audience a little confused.
Although it might be a pre-match smokescreen, but... but the communication between these two people is too sincere?
Alice brushed her golden hair to the side of her ear, lowered her head and smiled, and said, "Then good luck to both of us, my opponent."
Jiang Xiao casually pulled out a giant blade from behind, dragged it on the grass behind him, stepped forward in a bow stance, and looked at Alice in the distance.
"Are both students ready!?" The referee raised a small flag, and his voice, transmitted through the giant sound waves from the grandstand with a miniature microphone, entered the ears of both players.
Jiang Xiao's eyes were red, and in the sky, patches of dark clouds gathered, covering the sky and the sun, adding a touch of solemnity to the arena.
Alice glanced at the sky thoughtfully and nodded silently.
The referee looked at Jiang Xiao again and asked again, "China No. 1, are you ready?"
Jiang Xiao felt that the dark clouds were almost there, and nodded slightly.
The referee quickly waved the small flag in his hand: "Beep! Beep!"
Swish...
At the moment the whistle sounded, light rain began to fall in the sky, Pure Tear + Injured Tear + Domain Tear!
The three types of tears were mixed together, each type of rainwater having its own effect, but what Jiang Xiao mainly needed was the purification effect of Pure Tear.
Almost at the same time, Alice's body moved flexibly, obviously consciously dodging Blessing, and around her body, pieces of pure white feathers fluttered out.
The pure white feathers were very large, and each one seemed to have been carefully carved and was very beautiful.
Players who could represent a powerful country and participate in the individual competition were undoubtedly self-contained systems.
The fluttering pure white feathers covered the entire half-court, and Alice's speed obviously had a qualitative leap. This White Feather Domain seemed to be the same as Saito Nobuyuki's Cherry Blossom Domain from the former Japanese team.
But in the hands of different people, the effects were different. Alice did not intend to rush forward, but only used the White Feather Domain to increase speed, dodge attacks, and purify contaminated areas.
This kind of Star Technique had not appeared in the previous World Cup. It seemed that with the large-scale opening of different dimensional spaces, many Star Warriors had become beneficiaries.
At the same time, a dazzling star quietly emerged, illuminating the cloudy arena, and a beam of light shone towards Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao suddenly raised his hand and threw out Silence!
In the domain, Alice's movement was essentially high-speed movement, but it was like instantaneous movement, directly dodging the Silence Domain.
At the same time, the Star Chart on her body opened, and a huge six-winged angel floated out, holding a star in her left hand and a moon in her right hand.
So... is this an angel or a fly?
Obviously, Alice was consciously dodging Jiang Xiao's attacks while moving at high speed.
The trajectory of her movement had no rules at all, shifting left and right, flying up and down, like a headless fly.
It seemed that in the past two years, all the opponents had done diligent research on Jiang Xiao and knew very well how they should fight.
Jiang Xiao, who was in the Domain Tear Domain, felt her trajectory and couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart.
Not bad!
It should be known that when Ying Ya activated Blade of Desperation, in such a state of extreme speed, Jiang Xiao, with the help of Domain Tear, was able to intercept Ying Ya head-on, grabbing his ankle and pulling him out of the tiger's mouth.
But facing Alice, who had no rules at all, Jiang Xiao did not act rashly, but increased the output of Injured Tear.
"Bang!"
Jiang Xiao took a step back, dodging the star beam, and the beam shone on the green grass, blasting out a pit.
Jiang Xiao threw a series of Silence skills, watching the archangel dancing rapidly in the high sky.
At this time, a semi-transparent pure white defensive shield had been activated on her body, and two slender and thick wings had stretched out behind her.
Most people could not see her movements clearly, or even the trajectory of her movements, but in the perception of Domain Tear, Jiang Xiao felt her wet hair and saw her shocked and angry face.
The former Jiang Xiao was like a warrior challenging a dragon, all the way to the top of the world.
And the current Jiang Xiao has become the dragon!
