Chapter 154: Client
Ever since he advanced to the Nebula Stage, Jiang Xiao estimated that he could use Gold Quality Green Glow 20 times, which made him extremely elated. It was a good thing for him that his total amount of Star Power had been qualitatively improved.
At this stage, he had 79 Skill Points. Which Star Technique would bring him the greatest benefit after being upgraded?
He already had two Gold Quality and two Silver Quality Star Techniques at this moment. For Silver Quality Star Techniques, the increase in one small level would require 10 Skill Points, and for Gold Quality Star Techniques, it would require 100 Skill Points.
Silver Quality Blessing?
Yes, his Skill Points were not sufficient for him to upgrade it to Gold Quality.
With the Gold Quality Nostalgia, Jiang Xiao could continue replenishing his vitality, and Silver Quality Blessing could also cause his enemies to freeze momentarily. That was more than enough.
My Star Power is enough, so...
It seemed that the most beneficial to be upgraded now was his “moves”.
His Basic Techniques consisted of Freehand Combat, Star Power Abundance, Dagger Mastery, and the Xia Family Swordsmanship.
Out of the four, the Xia Family Swordsmanship seemed to be the most suitable for the battle ahead.
Why is my Star Power Abundance only at Brass Quality Level 5?
After the qualitative improvement, my Star Power should have a faster recovery rate, right?
During this life-and-death situation, Jiang Xiao could no longer be a miser. Hence, he maniacally added more Skill Points to his Star Techniques.

“Oh my god...” After splurging, Jiang Xiao enjoyed the quick recovery effects that the Silver Quality Star Power Abundance brought him while running.
Compared to the Brass Quality Star Power Abundance, the effects of the Silver Quality Star Power Abundance were much better.
If this Basic Technique that Jiang Xiao had forgotten about was upgraded to Gold Quality, Platinum Quality, or even Diamond Quality, would Jiang Xiao be able to use any Star Technique lavishly in the future without worrying about running out of Star Power?
Dig!
Jiang Xiao walked towards the back of the tree and hugged it with his left arm, after which he spun around and picked up the wooden sword, which he then used to slay the countless Ape Ghouls behind him.
Huh?
The two Ape Ghouls were extremely different, and a short figure began kicking Jiang Xiao, after which it leaped up and put its giant palm against the tree trunk. It then turned around and effortlessly avoided Jiang Xiao’s attack.
The Ape Ghoul seemed to be trying to say, “You’re too incompetent to be playing trees with me!”
Jiang Xiao frantically let go of the tree trunk and was suspended in mid-air. He then stepped on the tree trunk and leaped up forcefully before darting away horizontally.
Move, move...
Decoy, leave!
When Jiang Xiao rolled on the ground, there were already two Jiang Xiaos, but only the one with the giant sword scurried away.
The Ape Ghouls which had caught up hesitated for a moment and then split up again before continuing to chase him.
Jiang Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to place his sword properly. Wonderful, there was a relatively empty ground and three Ape Ghouls. It was an ideal scene.
As long as the surrounding trees were far away, there was hope for Jiang Xiao!
“Hey!” Jiang Xiao barked as the tip of his giant sword emitted thick and rich Green Glow. He then slashed the two menacing Ape Ghouls with his sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Ape Ghouls charging at him like canons darted out rapidly.
Every single time, they would be incredibly violent and try to tear apart Jiang Xiao’s Green Glow-covered wooden sword. However, they would often be blasted far away like glass balls.
Judging from the way that the Ape Ghouls identified the decoy just now, Jiang Xiao could tell that their IQ was of a certain level. Hence, his strategy and trick wouldn’t work for too long.
He reckoned that the Ape Ghouls would definitely realize soon that they ought not to fight the wooden sword forcefully.
The last of the three Ape Ghouls quickly caught up and launched attacks on Jiang Xiao seamlessly, making it almost suffocating.
Jiang Xiao took a step forward and placed the sword diagonally in front of him. It was a godsend opportunity not to be missed.

Xia Family Swordsmanship upgraded to Silver Quality Level 1!
Xia Family Swordsmanship upgraded to Silver Quality Level 2!
Xia Family Swordsmanship upgraded to Silver Quality Level 3!
Skill Points: 44

Jiang Xiao tried to bear with the pain of feeling the pinch and added 30 Skill Points to the Xia Family Swordsmanship in his Star Map. According to the universal four levels of techniques, Jiang Xiao’s Xia Family Swordsmanship should have already broken through the early stages and reached the middle stage of Silver Quality.
Indeed, a small breakthrough was effective too.
Holding the giant sword in his hands, Jiang Xiao felt confident because of the swordsmanship techniques in his mind and the terrifying muscle memory.
Jiang Xiao secretly decided in his heart that when he went back, he would definitely train as hard as he could to deserve the giant steel sword.
Don’t be fancy, don’t be frivolous!
Just lift the sword!
Jiang Xiao leaped up and moved away, after which the Ape Ghouls exploded in front of him like a bomb.
Wait, I shall wait for an opportunity to lift my sword up towards the sky and not outwards.
Jiang Xiao was all ready and the Ape Ghouls had already entered his attacking range. However, he surprisingly didn’t launch any attacks.
Here it comes!
Jiang Xiao jumped up violently, trying to escape the Ape Ghoul that was going to pounce on him. However, the Ape Ghoul’s shoulders and arms were too thick and muscular, so much that Jiang Xiao’s skull would be crushed easily.
Jiang Xiao pointed his sword downwards and placed it against the ground with his right hand, after which he leaped into the air while supporting himself against it. Once again, he managed to escape the Ape Ghoul’s attacks.
The group of Ape Ghouls behind him had already caught up, thus leaving him with barely any time left.
Damn it...
Another decoy charged out and this time, it didn’t rush to the side and simply moved towards the Ape Ghoul on the ground with his blade.
The Ape Ghoul roared with a menacing gaze. Staring at the prey in front of it, it tried to slap him forcefully!
Bang!
The decoy Jiang Xiao shattered as soon as the Ape Ghoul touched it, but before the Ape Ghoul could even react, a ray of Blessing landed on it.
Yeah!
Demon!
Have some of my toxic healing potion!
The Ape Ghoul seethed as it felt comfortable and numb from head to toe. It shivered slightly and squinted its large eyes while moaning.
However, it was pierced by a wooden sword before it could even enjoy the wonderful feeling.
It was a direct stab.
It wasn’t horizontal but vertical.
Since his lifting didn’t work, he would have to switch to another combat tactic.
Jiang Xiao seized the opportunity and scurried forwards, after which he leaped up and stabbed the Ape Ghoul in the chest.
As Green Glow spread around, the Ape Ghouls lied down on their backs and crashed into the ground. They were smashed straight into the ground and even slid back slightly because of the angle.
Jiang Xiao’s wooden sword released an unprecedented power. Apart from repelling effects, Green Glow would also result in a strong strike.
Even though it was only a wooden sword, it still penetrated deeply into the Ape Ghouls’ steel-like bones.
Due to the fact that the bodies of the Ape Ghouls had moved backward, the tip of the sword did not pierce through the Ape Ghoul’s chest. Instead, it was pierced into its waist.
That’s it, I’ve pierced it!
Without hesitation, Jiang Xiao immediately lifted his giant sword and scurried diagonally.
A dark golden halo appeared beneath Jiang Xiao’s feet again, together with a beautiful time scale inside it.
The dark golden time scale was surrounded by bright gold lines that continuously rotated in a clockwise direction.
A massive wave of vitality and Star Power passed from the giant sword to Jiang Xiao’s body.
“Wonderful!” Jiang Xiao raised his sword which had pierced through the body of the Ape Ghoul. There was no means for them to escape. The seven or eight Ape Ghouls seemed to be trying to snatch Jiang Xiao’s sword...
During his escape, Jiang Xiao failed to notice an Ape Ghoul leaning against the trunk of a tall tree on his left, waiting quietly for Jiang Xiao to run into its range.
A ferocious roar seemed to explode like thunder in the air, followed by a figure running rapidly with heavy iron fists.
“What?” Jiang Xiao didn’t expect an Ape Ghoul to be hanging on the tree and ambushing from branches.
All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao’s body moved to the side and he hurriedly dodged to the left, but he felt a sting in his left waist as he was smashed away by a pair of fists.
Without the Ape Ghoul’s shriek, Jiang Xiao would have really been crushed into bits.
Even though Jiang Xiao tried to dodge as much as possible, he still suffered a severe blow, and his body curled into the shape of a bow. The Gold Quality Endurance had exerted massive effects and saved Jiang Xiao from being snapped in half.
Jiang Xiao’s body constantly rolled around in the air together with the Ape Ghoul stuck on the sword. In the end, he and the Ape Ghoul landed on the ground, forming a long indent in the ground...
“Uh...” An excruciating pain radiated through his limbs as Jiang Xiao frantically absorbed the vitality of the Ape Ghouls while trying to bear with the pain. At the same time, he gave himself a shot of Bell.
Ring-ring-ring...
Bell flickered on Jiang Xiao’s body and bounced into the distance. It seemed that the Ape Ghoul that Jiang Xiao had left an “Imprint” on was still alive.
Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth and slowly tried to crawl up while enduring the unbearable pain in his left waist and abdomen. As the ray of medical light hit him, the pain was somewhat relieved.
“Ah... ahem... uh...” Jiang Xiao put his hand on his waist, like a man who had woke up in a motel after spending a night with a prostitute.
