âHe F * cking went up just like that?â The group of students was dumbfounded. The entrance to the upper level that they couldnât take down for a long time had been taken down by this little toxic healer?
Werenât the people up there a bunch of great demons just now?
Why did they become a bunch of useless chickens and dogs now?
This ⊠To be fair, one had to find the reason for this themselves.
Look at Xia Yan, sheâs the domineering goddess Yan in front of others, but sheâs Xia Yan in front of the little toxic healer and Xia Xiaozhi in front of Han Jiangxue.
Uh âŠ
The group of students reacted quickly and hurriedly climbed up. Finally, a God took the lead to break through the defense line. This was the best opportunity to enter the semi-finals. He had to seize it even if he had to risk his life!
On the upper level, Zhao Wenlong and hou Mingming did not stop after they climbed up. Especially hou Mingming, who shot out a series of arrows as if they were free.
When Jiang Xiao climbed up, there were already three red Arrows hanging in the sky, which were raining down explosively.
âŠ
One rain of arrows was already hard enough, but three? Whether it was a Dragon or a Tiger, it had to be quiet!
In fact, this was indeed the case. Ever since Ming Ming came up, the situation at the entrance of the seventh floor changed.
The other Warriors all rose up to resist, but after charging up, they joined the demon kings and became the new demon kings, suppressing the people on the sixth level below and not allowing them to come up.
After that, they were clearly different from Zhao Wenlong. After they came up âŠ
Demon King?
Iâve killed the devil King!
The seventh floor was much more complicated than the other floors. This was the true peak of the ancient tower. There was a huge portal dozens of meters above, which was the so-called holy ground.
The straw capes worn by the ghost-faced monks had different silk threads floating on them. They were colorful and very interesting.
However, their strange laughter was particularly creepy. It was fine if one or two laughed, but this group of ghostly faces laughed so strangely that it was like a group of clowns, making peopleâs hair stand on end.
Of course, due to the large area of each floor and the holy ground being in the center of the top of the tower, the ghost-faced monks wouldnât fall directly from the entrance where the participants were.
People could only see the colorful âwaterfallâ in the center of the distance.
Amidst the explosion of the rain of arrows and the strange laughter of the ghost Face, Zhao Wenlongâs roar was particularly abrupt.
âAh hit! Hit! Hit!â Zhao Wenlong and Xing Yan were fighting with their lives on the line amidst the flames of the explosions!
They were really two desperadoes, their heads hanging on their waists, not afraid of anyone!
Jiang Xiao took advantage of the chaos and quickly climbed up to the seventh floor with Xin AI âan in his arms before running away.
âIâll go!â Jiang Xiao felt that there was a bomber flying back and forth above his head, and the flames of the explosion blasted him away.
The two of them rolled several times on the ground, but their ankles were entangled by a branch.
Jiang Xiao was slightly taken aback and turned around to see that Xin AI âanâs eyes were glistening with green light while she was lying on the ground. Her body was surrounded by specks of fluorescent green light, and countless branches spread out from under her body, quickly wrapping the two of them.
The flames of war were raging outside, but Jiang Xiao was extremely safe in the fortress made of branches.
Not only was it safe, but it was also comfortable. Even though explosions were constantly coming from the outside, the air inside the âfortress of treesâ was clear and refreshing, and it seemed to have a calming effect.
Jiang Xiao sat up cross-legged and looked at the girl who had also sat up in front of him. He couldnât help but smile awkwardly.
Xin AI âan maintained her duck-like posture and turned to look at Jiang Xiao, but she also hurriedly lowered her head. Clearly, she was not used to being alone.
âUh âŠâ Jiang Xiao scratched his head and looked at Xin AI âan from head to toe. She was petite and looked adorable. She had been expressionless all along, but now, she was blushing slightly, probably because of the awkwardness.
Jiang Xiao asked softly,âthis is a STAR technique from Guizhou Province, right? Itâs so powerful, it can attack and defend, and every branch has perception. Itâs like a domain. â
Xin AI âan nodded silently and did not speak.
What kind of girls had Jiang Xiao not seen before? Jiang Xiao could even chat with someone like Han Jiangxue. The tree goddess should be Kinder than the frost goddess, right?
Jiang Xiao touched the dense branches above his head and said,ââAre you noble Qian?â
âYes.â Xin AI âan gave a softâ en âand nodded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A huge explosion came from above them, giving them a fright.
Xin AI âan hurriedly stretched out her little hand and placed it on the tree branches above. In an instant, the fine branches continued to grow and strengthen the wooden fortress.
Jiang Xiao mimicked her and also stretched out his hands, placing them on the branches above his head.
Xin AIAN couldnât help but roll her eyes at Jiang Xiao.ââWhat are you doing?â
The voice was so ethereal and pleasant to the ears.
Jiang Xiao grinned and said,âtry to make yourself more useful.â
Xin AI âan blinked her eyes and said,ââYouâve fulfilled your promise. As expected of a wasteland reclaimer. Youâre a man of your word.â
Jiang Xiao shook his head.âIâm just an apprentice. Iâm not official yet.â
âYou are a good person,â Xin AI âan said softly.
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
Just as Jiang Xiao was about to choke, he heard the judgeâs voice from his earphones.ââCountdown in ten seconds, nine ⊠8âŠâŠâ
The two of them were overjoyed. They were finally going to enter the semi-finals?
This preliminary round was really full of twists and turns!
â3⊠2⊠1! Timeâs Up! Everyone, stop attacking! Stand by and wait!â The judgeâs voice was extremely serious as he shouted.
Creak, creak, creak âŠ
The tightly intertwined branches slowly retracted, making a grinding sound.
A few seconds later, a buzzcut girl sitting cross-legged and a quiet girl sitting in a duck appeared in the students âfield of vision.
Jiang Xiao was slightly taken aback, for the scene in front of him was too tragic.
Most of the students were covered in dust and dirt, gasping for breath.
These students were still fine. Many of them were covered in wounds and blood. They were clearly holding on.
In contrast, Jiang Xiao and Xin AI âanâs carefree looks were rather striking.
Hou Mingmingâs chest was heaving up and down violently. His military uniform was in tatters, his hair was in a mess, and his face was stained with someoneâs blood.
She glowered at Jiang Xiao and thought to herself, Iâm fighting outside! But youâre hiding in the fortress of trees and dating a girl?
âYa!â A womanâs voice was heard. Her voice was sharp, and one could hear her anger.
Jiang Xiao turned around, only to see a familiar figure.âWu Xiaojing?
Wu Xiaojing was being pulled back by the staff.
Wasnât this girl guarding Yu Yuan on the lower floor? How did he end up here âŠ
Jiang Xiao then saw Yu Jin.
The young man had messy hair and his clothes were in a mess. He said,ââWhat are you shouting for? You crazy woman, you donât even want a spot? Weâll have to wait until the end of time?â
âJust you wait!â Wu Xiaojing said coldly. Old dog Yu! Donât let me see you in the semi-finals!â
Yu Yuan grinned. She turned the misty military blade in her hand and casually threw it to the ground. It turned into specks of Starlight and disappeared into thin air.
Yu Jin looked at Jiang Xiao and said,ââJiang xiaopi, did you give this woman the idea? Donât let me see you in the semi-finals!â
Oh?
Thereâs quite a tacit understanding between husband and wife?
The threatening words were exactly the same?
âAI! Over there, you have to line up for a challenge. Iâll go first. â A rough voice was heard.
Everyone looked over, only to see the bald burly man with fists and footprints all over his body, bi an Xing Yan!
âYou were tricked by him too?â Yu Jin was amused.
Xing Yan held a huge black and green axe in his hand and pointed it at Jiang Xiao.ââYouâve let quite a few people in. â
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said,âyour defense is too poor. Crossing you is like crossing the road in the morning.â
âWhat did you say?â Xing Yan was enraged.
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said,âyouâre too slow. You canât stop me at all. I even carried a pig.â
Xin AI âan was speechless.
After all, they were on the seventh floor, and the holy ground was tens of meters above them. Although the monsters that came out of the holy ground were vertical and far from here, the defense Staff had sent out a signal.
The other staff members moved even more quickly. They carried away the unconscious and injured participants and quickly treated them.
The students who were still alive looked at each other silently. Xing Yan was right. Ever since the toxic healer had arrived and broken through the blockade, many people had come up from the lower levels.
Including Yu Jin and Wu Xiaojing, who had followed the path of the tree goddess âwavy branches, the students who had long been blocked at the entrance of the seventh floor and couldnât move forward at all were lucky enough to climb to the seventh floor thanks to Jiang Xiao.
After careful calculation, there were actually 32 people full!
If it wasnât for Mingmingâs bombarding here and eliminating some contestants, the countdown might have stopped.
âYou have passed the first stage of the national team selection. 100ăâ
Jiang Xiao was greatly taken aback!
100 skill points?
Wow, Iâm rich!
In the past provincial leagues, the skill points were increased by 10,20, or 30 points. This world Cup, during the selection stage of the national team, the skill points would start from 100?
Jiang Xiao was about to cry. It had been a long time since he had received any skill points in the internal star map. The abominable inter-school selection was not counted, but the national team selection was a reward.
What did 100 skill points mean?
It meant that all of Jiang Xiaoâs basic techniques, such as archery mastery, hand-to-hand combat, and dagger mastery, which were stuck at silver quality level 9, could be upgraded. And it only cost 30 points in total.
What else could he do with 100 skill points?
The Xia family sword technique that could be upgraded to gold quality by one level!
Jiang Xiaoâs Xia family swordsmanship was now gold quality level 8.
After level 9, the next level would definitely be Platinum. Jiang Xiao could then use his skill points to upgrade it directly in order to face the world Cup!
A virtuous cycle?
The more he won, the more skill points he would have, and the more skill points he had, the more he would win?
And this was only the first stage of the national team selection. If they passed the second stage, would the rewards be higher?
What about the World Cup?
How many skill points would he get in one match?
Iâm afraid theyâll start with 100 points? It might even be higher!
