Chapter 1096 The Overbearing Star Martial Arts
Gaia murmured softly, her words filled with complex emotions towards the unknown, "I personally created another Hopkins... Maybe, I should destroy myself now, or... maybe it's too late, I can no longer destroy myself."

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Xiao looked at the scene before him with a dumbfounded expression.

He didn't know why Gaia had become like this, he only knew that the forehead pressed tightly against the back of his hand was warm and very hot.

Listening to her murmuring, Jiang Xiao's emotions were also a little complicated.

Just a few seconds ago, she was still a god in Jiang Xiao's eyes, dominating life and death, high above.

But at this moment, she was holding Jiang Xiao's palm, praying piously.

Praying that the future she envisioned would not appear, praying that Jiang Xiao was not the second Hopkins.

The sudden change in identity and status left Jiang Xiao somewhat at a loss.

Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "I am not him."

Gaia shook her head from side to side, her forehead rubbing against the back of Jiang Xiao's hand, her eyes closed, and she said softly, "Yes, you are not. Not now, and never will be."

Her murmur was more like self-consolation.

Jiang Xiao raised his left hand, hesitated for a moment, and still rubbed Gaia's long hair made of branches and leaves, comforting her while changing the subject: "Do you know the effect of the Star Transformation into Martial Art on the fifth page?"

"No, after he understood the fourth page, he slowly changed." Gaia released Jiang Xiao's palm and said, "I don't know what the fifth page is, but maybe it was this fifth page that completely changed him.

The only thing I can be sure of is that before I was imprisoned here by him, he had not researched the Star Transformation into Martial Art on that fifth page."

Speaking of this, Gaia sighed softly: "Sixty years have passed, he should have figured it out long ago, right?"

Jiang Xiao said: "Not necessarily."

Gaia: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "His ultimate goal is to have me help him break through the spatial constraints, explore the mysteries of the world, and go out to see it.

If that's the case, he didn't need to give me the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* book.

But he not only let me copy his *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*, but also sent me here to be your mentor and help me study the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*. I think he just didn't figure it out himself and got stuck.

You know, I met him very few times, but almost every time, he urged me to study the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*.

So... he must have seen that I am gifted and exceptionally intelligent, so he asked me to help him study it.

Just like what I'm doing now, waiting for me to figure it out and copy the ready-made answer for him."

Gaia: ???

Gifted? Exceptionally intelligent?

Finally, Gaia separated Jiang Xiao from the shadow of Hopkins.

Although, Hopkins back then was also an energetic youth, but... at least he still had the demeanor of a master, at least he still had some face...

Gaia said, "Are you sure you have mastered the Star Transformation into Martial Art on the fourth page?"

Jiang Xiao nodded as a matter of course: "Ah."

Gaia hooked her fingers, and in an instant, a piece of gravel swept across Jiang Xiao's hand.

"Hiss..." Jiang Xiao stomped his feet in pain, shaking his hand frantically, "Hey, come on! Be gentle, my Earth Mother..."

Gaia: "..."

Jiang Xiao said: "At least let me activate the Star Transformation into Martial Art before you experiment, ah."

Gaia: "Hmm..."

Suddenly, Gaia realized a very serious problem!

That is to say, just now, Jiang Xiao didn't use the fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* to protect himself!

But his palm didn't leave any scars!?

Did he rely on pure physical defense to block her attack?

This... this...

Of course, Gaia knew how terrifying her attack was!

His defense was so strong?

So, even if he abandoned the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*, Jiang Xiao's strength seemed to be much stronger than Gaia imagined?

Jiang Xiao took a few steps back, holding the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* in one hand, looking at the fourth page, and after studying it for a long time...

In Gaia's sight, a string of mysterious star power symbols floated out, circled around Jiang Xiao's body a few times, and finally slowly merged into Jiang Xiao's body.

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly, murmuring, "Is it still a switch type? In the future... if I don't change the switch, it will always be in this form?"

Jiang Xiao frowned and thought, while looking at Gaia, and said, "Come on."

Gaia slowly raised her hand.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly said: "Be gentle, alright!"

Gaia: "..."

Small gravel swept across Jiang Xiao's hand, but Jiang Xiao's expression was a little strange.

No matter what star technique Gaia used, when it landed on Jiang Xiao, it turned into a pure star power attack.

And Jiang Xiao found that before his Scorching Sun · Endurance resisted the opponent's attack, it was the star power in his body that was protecting his body!

The majestic star power surged and continuously offset the sudden star power intrusion from the outside.

Why did Jiang Xiao say that the Scorching Sun Endurance did not trigger the defense effect?

Because Jiang Xiao didn't hurt at all!

It was true that he didn't feel anything. If it wasn't for the star power in his body being consumed, Jiang Xiao would even think that Gaia hadn't attacked him!

At this moment, Jiang Xiao had only one word in his mind: Guardian Ring!

Damn...

When Jiang Xiao thought of this word, he was stunned.

Oh, right... I'm a person who transmigrated, the ancient game from another world, I still have an impression?

Hey, why did I perfectly integrate into the student segment from high school to university?

Hey, forget it, forget it, being a spirited young man... is pretty good!

This fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* is simply the same as a guardian ring!

Any star technique that hits Jiang Xiao will not cause the loss of physical strength and vitality, but will offset the star power in his body!

In other words, it only consumes mana, not life!

In this way... isn't Jiang Xiao invincible with a maxed-out Star Power Recharge?

If that doesn't work, Jiang Xiao still has Reverse Flow Light? He can share star power with others...

Moreover, Jiang Xiao also has the Blessing Light Halo. Just a casual rain will yield a huge amount of star power. Under the effect of this *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*, it is indeed difficult for Jiang Xiao to be broken.

Only when the star power is exhausted and can no longer offset the external attack will Jiang Xiao's body be harmed...

But Jiang Xiao still has a bunch of divine pets in his body, and he is a medical-type Star Warrior, excelling in endurance. How could he easily exhaust his star power?

To take a step back, even if Jiang Xiao's star power is exhausted, and the opponent's attack can finally harm Jiang Xiao's body, Jiang Xiao still has Scorching Sun · Endurance...

"Hmm... a bit interesting." Jiang Xiao sat down with a plop, his elbows resting on his knees, his palms touching his chin, and secretly thinking, what if he switched star charts? Would it still have this effect?

No sooner said than done!

Jiang Xiao quickly switched back to the Nine Stars Array star chart and said, "Try again."

Gaia cooperated very well and attacked again. This time, a clear pain came from the back of Jiang Xiao's hand. Jiang Xiao suddenly transformed into a whimpering bear, rolled back, stood up while crawling, and retreated backward.

Sure enough, if he switched the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*, the fourth page star chart that was added to him would disappear.

Switching back again, Jiang Xiao found that the switch on the fourth page was automatically turned off. Jiang Xiao had to transform into a Star Martial Art again and re-enable his own "Guardian Ring."

Oh~ This is a bit difficult!

Is the fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* strong?

Of course, it is strong! As long as Jiang Xiao has enough star power in his body, he is invincible! And he will not be affected by any special attack effects of any star technique.

But... Elizabeth's Holy Cross is not weak either!

Magic immunity!

But unlike the fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*, pure star power can harm Jiang Xiao, rather than offsetting the star power in Jiang Xiao's body.

The difference between the two is huge!

For a time, Jiang Xiao was in a dilemma, which one should he use?

Speaking of which, if I turned on the fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* myself, and then the bait put a cross on my body...

What would that be like?

That Holy Cross would be useless, right!?

You know, the Holy Cross is magic immunity, only pure star power can harm Jiang Xiao.

And the fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* is to trace all star techniques back to their origins and turn them into pure star power.

Am I tricking myself!?

When Jiang Xiao is attacked, should he follow the path of the cross or the path of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*?

Jiang Xiao directly opened the space gate, and the Bait Jiang Xiao came out and directly put a cross on Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao's body turned on the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* and looked at Gaia again, and said, "Come."

The poor Earth Mother was actually used as a tool person... uh, tool god.

Jiang Xiao, who was attacked again, couldn't help but sigh!

*Star Martial Arts Chronicle*, Truly? Overbearing!!!

It directly removed the effect of the Holy Cross...

When Jiang Xiao turned on the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle*, the Holy Cross lost all its effects and was instantly changed to pure star power!

The Holy Cross also changed from the original auxiliary star chart to an output and offensive star chart for Jiang Xiao!

Wow...

Jiang Xiao realized a very serious problem. In this form, even general auxiliary and medical star techniques are an output for Jiang Xiao!

Jiang Xiao cannot press the bell on his chest. That is no longer a healing star technique, but an offensive star technique!

Don't... don't do that!?

Jiang Xiao threw a Reverse Flow Light on Gaia's body.

In an instant, large amounts of vitality and star power poured into the "weak" Jiang Xiao.

"Damn it!!!" Jiang Xiao couldn't help but curse.

He was too naive!

When the fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* is turned on, Reverse Flow Light is no longer star power sharing, but a violent output to Jiang Xiao!

The large amount of external star power frantically impacted and offset the star power in Jiang Xiao's body...

Even the star technique effect of Reverse Flow Light has been tampered with for me?

Jiang Xiao was so frightened that he quickly cut off the Reverse Flow Light, and in the distance, Gaia also frowned slightly. The rapid loss of vitality and star power made her very uncomfortable.

Jiang Xiao looked at his hands stupidly and tried to turn on "Star Power Recharge."

Huff...

The stars that swarmed around him were no longer providing star power for Jiang Xiao, but became an attack on him, frantically offsetting the star power stored in Jiang Xiao's body...

"Sigh..." Jiang Xiao turned off Star Power Recharge, put his hands on his hips, and sighed deeply.

Turning on the fourth page of the *Star Martial Arts Chronicle* means... Jiang Xiao is at odds with the world!

Regardless of positive or negative effects, regardless of good or bad, any form of any star technique is attacking and consuming the star power in his body for Jiang Xiao.

*Star Martial Arts Chronicle*: Even if I am at odds with the world, I will stand by your side!

Jiang Xiao: Why should I be at odds with the world?

*Star Martial Arts Chronicle*: It's okay, I'll help!
