Chapter 157: A Big Punching Healer

Under the Guardians’ lead, the team quickly returned to the supply point.

Halfway during the journey, the guardians had also contacted Hai Tianqing and they reunited with him again.

Jiang Xiao asked Hai Tianqing some questions out of concern. After all, he managed to distract the Ape Ghoul King and lead it away to stall some time for the team, all by himself.

Hai Tianqing seemed to be in great shape and didn’t sustain too many injuries. Perhaps, he had already healed himself. According to him, he managed to deal with the Ape Ghoul King quickly with the help of the Guardians.

However, it would be impossible for the Ape Ghoul King’s Star Bead to land in Hai Tianqing’s hand.

After a long period of fighting and various strange occurrences, no one else was in the mood to train. In fact, when they saw the red flag with stars flying high in the sky, they felt even more emotional deep down.

“This arsenal is indeed not the place we should be training in,” Xia Yan said with pursed lips while advancing quickly, seemingly feeling anxious. “These social creatures are too difficult to fight, and once we encounter the Ape Ghoul King, it’d be really hard for us to fight it. Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher isn’t huge and it definitely can’t fit the Ape Ghoul King.”

Hai Tianqing accompanied the students and said in a bid to comfort them, “During the league, there will be a rearrangement of monsters and creatures in the arsenal. There should be no Ape Ghoul King. Besides, the authorities wouldn’t give you any excessively difficult tasks.”

Li Weiyi remained silent for a long time. Most of the time, he would be right in front of the team, especially when they were in tunnels. When the Ape Ghouls punched his shield, he could feel the extremely solid and strong impact.

“I don’t know how the bald man found our hiding spot,” Xia Yan said in disgruntlement.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao said, “They entered when we first stepped into the cave. Although we blocked the exits, there were still stone pots left at the entrance by the savages.”

“Oh.” Han Jiangxue nodded, seemingly deep in thought as she found Jiang Xiao’s analysis to be very reasonable. “I reckon they should have decided to open up the blocked tunnel after seeing the equipment used in daily life. Unfortunately, they couldn’t seal the opening again after they entered, causing the Ape Ghouls to rush and squeeze in again.”

“Oh? By the way, where’s the bald man? Did he survive? Did he get rescued by the guards? We killed one of his teammates,” Xia Yan said softly and anxiously.

The Awakened whom Han Jiangxue blasted into her Sky Smasher had already had its Star Bead harvested by Han Jiangxue and its corpse fed to the Ape Ghoul.

“You don’t have to worry about the bald man and the female Awakened. I’ve never met the remaining one before,” Jiang Xiao said.

Xia Yan was flabbergasted.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiao in shock. According to his words, they thought about another horrifying piece of truth.

“Xiaopi?” Han Jiangxue asked, concerned.

“After the Ape Ghoul King slapped me, I was smacked to the other end of the forest where the bald man’s team had chosen to explore. I saw the couple, but I failed to see the rest. I witnessed with my own eyes the two of them dying. I reckon they must have abandoned the other Awakened and left him to die.”

Xia Yan walked towards Jiang Xiao and put an arm around his waist before lowering her head and moving her lips towards his ears. She whispered, “How did they die?”

Jiang Xiao tried his best to move his body sideways, but under Xia Yan’s power, he didn’t break free and instead answered, “They were killed by the Ape Ghouls.”

“Is that really the case?” Xia Yan asked gently.

After saying silent for a while, Jiang Xiao said the truth, “I have a good teacher.”

Xia Yan got a great shock and she thought about the time when she picked up the human corpse in front of Jiang Xiao and tossed it at the White Ghouls.

“How does it feel?” Xia Yan asked as her voice gradually become tender and gentle.

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Are you going to be a caring elder sister?

Wow, you sound so gentle, but I can’t get used to it.

Jiang Xiao looked up at Xia Yan with an apprehensive gaze, but he managed to see a look of concern in her beautiful eyes.

Regardless of how much they usually bickered, Xia Yan undeniably cared about him deep down.

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, “Don’t think of me as such a fragile person. They tried to use me as bait and restrained my ankles to give themselves more time to flee. I only did what I should have.”

“Okay,” Xia Yan said while resting her elbow on Jiang Xiao’s shoulder, after which she propped her arm up and gently patted his head. She continued, “I’m just scared that your psychological barrier will be detrimental to your future growth. I’m also scared that you might grow too accustomed to this and become a jaded, cold-blooded animal. Hey, I’m feeling really conflicted.”

Jiang Xiao said, “Confess to me. My heart will definitely be melted by you.”

“I don’t want to be a little dog,” Xia Yan said as she lowered her head slightly. All of a sudden, she bit Jiang Xiao’s earlobe and pulled it outwards.

Although her actions were wild and sexy, Jiang Xiao found it to be a form of mockery and punishment.

Regardless of what they were murmuring about, Hai Tianqing understood what Jiang Xiao’s first sentence meant. He said, “Everything that happened here, stays here. Don’t let any information leak.”

No one responded, but the students knew that many bloodbaths took place in the arsenal.

However, no one showed any sympathy for the Awakened.

During this tour in the arsenal, Jiang Xiao obtained some Skill Points that came from “Silver Quality First Kills”, “Silver Quality Ten Kills”, “Nebula First Kill” and “Leapfrogging”.

It seemed that the Awakened in Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher were in the Nebula Stage.

Every casualty of the Nebula Stage was worth five Skill Points. However, only three Skill Points were awarded for “Nebula First Kill”.

However, the points awarded for Leapfrogging were still the same, at five Skill Points.

However, at this juncture, Jiang Xiao was already in the Nebula Stage. If he was to kill other Awakened in the Nebula Stage, probably no Skill Points would be awarded for Leapfrogging.

The expedition to the Arsenal this time was unusually dangerous, and Jiang Xiao had spent almost all of the Skill Points he saved up, leaving him with only 14 left.

However, there was a huge increase in his abilities.

Jiang Xiao had been working and training hard in order to strike a balance between his Star Power and his body.

After all, he was now in the stage where he would be experiencing growth spurts. Unless necessary, Jiang Xiao even felt that he ought not to waste his Skill Points during a low-level stage like the Stardust Stage.

Not a single Skill Point should go to waste.

Where there were risks, there were also benefits. At this point, Jiang Xiao had really gained a lot. In his internal Star Map, there were two more Star Techniques, namely “Nostalgia” and “Dawn”.

Besides, those Star Techniques had also been upgraded to Gold Quality using Star Beads and Skill Points.

The trip this time allowed Jiang Xiao to understand the cruelty that existed in normal Dimensional Spaces. Not only were there relentless and menacing creatures of other dimensions, but there were also threats from other humans.

Perhaps, he really ought to give himself an output Star Technique.

However, he really had very few star slots. If he wanted to acquire an output Star Technique, he would have to consider extremely carefully.

Green Glow was already a remarkable technique that could launch brutal and strong attacks, accompanied by repelling effects.

Besides, White Ghouls were rampant and Jiang Xiao could upgrade his Green Glow quality. Hence, to Jiang Xiao, Green Glow was considered the best technique he could have.

Every star slot was precious to him.

Just like everyone else, Jiang Xiao wanted to be almighty and all-rounded, but his star slots did not allow him to do so.

Jiang Xiao wanted a teleportation Star Technique, a resuscitation Star Technique, and...

There were too many functional Star Techniques that he wanted so that he could become a unique and excellent healer.

Although... those Star Techniques seemed to only exist in dreams for Jiang Xiao, he still dreamed of having them and coveted them greatly.

Should I just make do with Green Glow for the rest of my life?

Maybe I should work hard to upgrade Green Glow and cultivate it to a formidable quality.

Maybe I should be a super boxer...

Okay, shall I be a punching healer?
