Nine Star Burden

Chapter 67: Damn, It’s Done

The referee blew his whistle and waved the mini flag, after which he announced the results, “The Year Two team has lost their combat abilities. The Year Three team wins.”

The students were still amazed and almost forgot to applaud, especially the group of freshmen who had watched the greenhorns going toe-to-toe against each other. They felt that the strategies were rather classic.

However, after that, the stark contrast between the Year Two team and the Year Three team was exhibited.

They were worlds apart!

Just as the students were applauding, Gao Junwei turned around and scanned the surroundings, after which he fixed his eyes on Jiang Xiao.

Gao Junwei did not holler and swear his heart out as his younger brother did. Instead, he stood rooted to the ground and remained silent while glaring daggers at Jiang Xiao. He then watched as the medics carried the female commander away on a stretcher.

There was still blood dripping down the wooden Chinese sword. Although it was made of wood, it still managed to cut out a huge hole in the female commander’s chest which became badly mangled, because of the strong Star Power and the special effects of “Charge”.

Swoosh... swoosh...

In the base camp of the Year Two students, two rays of light from Blessing landed on the stretcher, slowly healing the injured female commander.

The female commander allowed the medical staff to place a hand on her chest and received treatment from her schoolmate and the medical teachers. She gritted her teeth and held herself back from whimpering in pain.

Girl, I really take my hat’s off of to you. You’re a true man!

Gao Junwei ignored how the medical teacher treated the female commander because he was still staring at Jiang Xiao menacingly. However, at the instant that the two medical students in the base camp of the Year Two students appeared, Gao Junwei suddenly turned his head and glared at them.

He remained silent with a menacing gaze.

One of them, a female Awakened, hesitated for a moment before putting her hand down slowly.

The other male Medical Awakened glared back at Gao Junwei, appearing equally domineering.

The male student raised his hands in the sky and a ray of sacred light cast down, while he glared at Gao Junwei, his eyes full of anger.

There were plenty of rich and powerful people in the world.

Some were terrified of Gao Junwei, but some simply did not care.

This male Year Two Medical Awakened belonged to the latter. Logically speaking, he and his team should have been in the Year Two champions’ team. However, his team lost during the final exam because of team coordination problems.

While feeling remorseful and blaming himself, he was also convinced by the winning team of the same cohort. In fact, he also developed a crush on the female commander whom he admired.

At this moment, he didn’t quite bother.

Jiang Xiao also didn’t care.

A ray of light immediately landed and its color became richer while its radius expanded, completely eclipsing the other ray of light. It was full of Medical Star Power as it landed on the stretcher.

The female commander gritted her teeth and endured the pain while groaning and accepting the Blessings. However, she did not expect herself to moan in pleasure.

The girl in Year Two was shocked and intimidated by Gao Junwei’s gaze.

It was undoubtedly from the Year One base camp!

Gao Junwei knew that the only Medical Awakened in Year Three did not have the guts to do so, because he knew his batch mates too well.

Gao Junwei turned around to see that Jiang Xiao was also glowering at him. At the same time, Gao Junwei shivered uncontrollably.

Jiang Xiao mouthed the words, “Would you like to have your fortune told?”

Gao Junwei seemed to have heard Jiang Xiao saying, “Who do you think you are?”

Damn it, I’m going to let you know who I am today!

“There are always wins and losses in battles. Like you guys have seen, there’s always going to be someone stronger. I believe this battle will allow you to recognize your own strengths and shortcomings. Stay humble and modest and continue training hard. Aim to be as good as your seniors in Year Three. You guys have a year to grow and make progress,” said the teacher who was standing on the stage. The female commander heard her words too.

She laid on the stretcher and clenched her right fist. Work hard? I’ve already been working very hard and so have my teammates. However, hard work is not always the way to achieve some things in this world.

The female commander was also very familiar with the Medical healing ability of her fellow Medical Awakened schoolmate who was also in Year Two. She knew that the immense pleasure she felt was definitely not from him or the female medic in front of her who was clenching her fist that was glowing with a green light.

The female commander turned to the side and looked up at the base camp of the Class 2 students of Year One. She did not think much and simply wanted to look at Jiang Xiao and express her gratitude. However, he was hidden behind the team.

“I think you’re well aware of the purpose of this exhibition round. The battle just now is enough to give you a wakeup call and allow you to see the gap between you and an excellent student.” The teacher held the microphone and continued, “As usual, I would like to ask if anyone from the Year One champions’ team would like to try and challenge the School Tyrants?”

In an instant, all eyes were fixed on the base camp of the Year One Class 2 students.

This time, there was no use in the champions’ team hiding at the back because the other students of Class 2 had already moved away from them.

Worry and anxiety were written all over Liu Ke’s adorable face. Dreams were always wonderful, but when she truly saw the ultimate strength and power of the Year Three team, all of her confidence disappeared.

“We’d better not challenge them. They’re too intimidating. Otherwise, we’ll get injured easily,” Liu Ke said while tugging Yi Lianna’s sleeve.

Besides, as the weaker member of the team who was also less aggressive by nature, Yi Lianna did not make any decisions and instead glanced at Jiang Xiao.

Zhu Wu looked at Zhu Wen with a hostile gaze.

There would always be a group of people who naturally loved challenges.

Zhu Wen had a sullen expression on his face and he remained silent for a moment while thinking about how Jiang Xiao gave his Silver Quality Star Bead to Liu Ke without hesitation.

Jiang Xiao seemed to have given him a good demonstration of how men ought to keep their promises.

Hence, Zhu Wen turned to look at Jiang Xiao and cocked his head towards the side.

“This bunch of silly kids. Surely they can’t be really thinking of taking on the battle?” Su Rou held onto her mobile phone and sighed before continuing, “All of us saw the conflict between Gao Junwei and my boy with the buzzcut. If he were to take on the battle, he’s going to give Gao Junwei the chance to destroy him.”

She pointed the camera at the students and recorded a clear glimpse of the students in Class 2 of Year One.

Several messages popped up on the screen:

“Haha, if your buzzcut boy dares to go on stage, he’ll definitely be destroyed and ripped into shreds.”

“Seriously, the gap is too huge. There’s nothing to compare at all.”

“Indeed, such performances are not that interesting. There are three more who have yet to attack.”

“Is he stupid? He’s going to get himself beaten up? The group of students in Year Three has probably passed the Nebula Stage and have stronger bodies than the greenhorns. Besides, the Year Three students can have eight Star Techniques. They don’t seem to be cash-strapped. It would probably take them little effort to beat these greenhorns who at most have four Star Techniques.”

Amidst the silence, both the teachers and students were waiting for the response from Class 2. Suddenly, a beautiful voice sounded.

On the football field, Xia Yan waved excitedly at Jiang Xiao and shouted, “Xiaopi! Xiaopi! Come on!”

The audience was immediately stunned.

Jiang Xiao grinned and nudged the Zhu brothers in their shoulders. “Go!”

Without saying anything, the brothers ran forward, and Jiang Xiao followed suit. He then said to Yi Lianna, “Follow us.”

Yi Lianna shook her head with a wry smile and pulled her hand away from Liu Ke. She then followed her three dauntless teammates.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

“These kids are really daring! Do they have a death wish?”

“Strange, aren’t we just sending text messages? Why do I seem to smell something?”

“Host, your buzzcut boy is going to be beaten up into a pulp.”

“Hey? Is that girl who’s talking, Xia Yan whom Jiang Xiaopi criticized?”

“Shocking! Bewildered High School student gets bewitched by the Queen, and is dragging his family along with him to die!”

“The lawful wife is about to beat down the mistress. The interesting show begins!”

“Quiz! Host, hurry and activate the guessing competition!”

“I vote for the right side! I’m going to bet all I have!”

The teacher on the stage said with a peculiar expression, “You’re very brave.”

Jiang Xiao nodded at the teacher and exclaimed, “It’ll be over soon. We’ll just do it!”
