Nine Star Burden

Chapter 80: Hai Tianqing

The door of the training room was suddenly opened and Hai Tianqing entered gracefully.

Hai Tianqing looked at Li Weiyi who was lying flat on the ground, followed by the other three who were chatting with each other. “I told you guys to practice your formation and yet, you guys are resting.”

Uh…

Jiang Xiao took a step back and avoided Han Jiangxue’s palm before turning around to look at Hai Tianqing.

Am I going to be punished?

He seemed to have given the teacher of his practical class a poor impression.

Xia Yan waved her hand at Hai Tianqing without any fear and said, “Ah, Hai Tianqing, we were training very hard just now when I suddenly received a call from my parents informing me that I’m allowed to participate in the trip to the snowfield. So, I decided to tell my teammates about it.”

“Okay, follow me to the outdoor practice field.” Hai Tianqing said, “Let me see your 2-2 to 3-1 formation.”

Why is there a need to go to the outdoor field to practice our formation?

Isn’t it just getting into the formation?

Are we going to have a practical battle?

Jiang Xiao was suddenly excited, but he wanted to see what the gentle and easy-going Hai Tianqing could get up to!

Jiang Xiao walked out of the school’s gymnasium and followed Hai Tianqing back to the Year Three Teaching Block, after which they trod all the way to the basketball court and continued to walk towards the end of the block. They crossed a small forest and arrived at a sand field.

“2-1-1,” said Han Jiangxue.

Huh?

Aren’t we going to demonstrate the transition of a 2-2 formation to a 3-1 formation?

What kind of order is Han Jiangxue giving?

Jiang Xiao was still in doubt, while Li Weiyi and Xia Yan seemed to have subconsciously stood side by side in front of Han Jiangxue. They then slowly stepped forward, pulling away from Han Jiangxue.

“Go back, back away, Xiaopi. Pay attention to the sky,” Han Jiangxue said quickly.

This so-called exercise seemed to be carried out in the form of conventional combat.

“You trust him very much.” In the distance, Hai Tianqing turned around and faced everyone. “If you are by his side, you can use Sky Smasher to provide some resistance.”

Han Jiangxue remained silent while Xia Yan said, “I lack a knife.”

Hai Tianqing pushed the gold wire glasses up his nose bridge before suddenly flying towards Xia Yan.

With a sullen expression, Xia Yan took a step back while Li Weiyi replaced her and lit up his faint Star Map. He then spread his arms apart to form the Black Shield and stood in front of the two of them.

Hai Tianqing’s right fist was covered with a rich green light that struck them quickly like lightning.

Whoosh~

A tornado suddenly formed in front of Hai Tianqing.

Hai Tianqing was very fast and he reacted rather quickly. He managed to avoid the small tornado and reached Li Weiyi in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Jiang Xiao who was at the back was completely stunned. Did that Black Shield… just shatter?

Green Glow?

One punch?

Shattered just like that?

Jiang Xiao’s Green Glow was of Silver Quality and just now, he managed to strike Li Weiyi and cause him to retreat with just one blow. However, he did not manage to damage the shield.

Yet, Hai Tianqing managed to shatter the shield effortlessly.

Li Weiyi strode backward, and when he took the third step back, he arched his legs and leaned forward before gliding backward.

Xia Yan who took half a step back and also extended her Green Glow-encased leg.

To Jiang Xiao’s surprise, Hai Tianqing retreated by a few steps and at the next moment, he finally figured out why he retreated. It was because a tornado appeared in front of Xia Yan.

Did Han Jiangxue miss again?

At the same time, a White Flames Star Map appeared in front of Han Jiangxue’s tall and slender body. She then pushed Li Weiyi with her left hand and darted forwards quickly.

Clearly, it was a result of countless team cooperation.

Li Weiyi, who was “flying” at low altitude, shouted loudly, “Burning Flame!”

Xia Yan immediately activated Burning Flame, after which the fine flames climbed up her slender legs.

Is this is to… reduce the damage caused by the fire element as much as possible?

But how can the impact of the explosion be resisted?

Li Wei seemed to have no concerns at all as he landed heavily on the spot beside Hai Tianqing, blowing up the sand.

Han Jiangxue flipped her left hand and Xia Yan suddenly flew upwards.

Bang!

There was another muffled noise, and Li Weiyi flew out of the flames, holding the cracked black shield.

This time, at least the shield was not broken.

Hai Tianqing’s swift actions caused his center-parted hair to become messy and unkempt.

Han Jiangxue suddenly pressed her right hand down and Xia Yan flew in the air again, darting toward Hai Tianqing like a cannonball.

At the same time, Xia Yan yelled, “I said, I need my sword!”

Whoosh!

A ray of sacred light cast down and shrouded Hai Tianqing.

Han Jiangxue’s eyes lit up, and she thought, Seems like my little brother has good control of timing.

The side effects of the Silver Quality Blessing were known to all.

It was no wonder that the teachers called Jiang Xiao the toxic healer.

Jiang Xiao did not stop and instead continued to heal Li Weiyi.

Xia Yan looked at the dumbfounded Hai Tianqing, after which she started smiling.

Her slender body turned sharply in the air, and she swept her beautiful leg downwards.

However, Xia Yan’s arrogant face suddenly grew sullen and she kicked Hai Tianqing’s head forcefully. Why did a supposedly fatal attack become a wake-up call for Hai Tianqing?

An intense wave of Star Power began to spread open, and Hai Tianqing managed to grab Xia Yan’s ankle.

What kind of defensive power is this!?!

Han Jiangxue shoved his right hand violently, and Li Weiyi, who was shrouded in Sacred light, took a few steps back and immediately flew towards Hai Tianqing.

Bang!

Hai Tianqing grabbed Xia Yan’s ankle and slammed her down onto the ground.

“Ah…” Xia Yan couldn’t bear with the pain and winced. Before she could even react, Hai Tianqing pressed his knee against her back.

Looking at Li Weiwei who was colliding into him, Hai Tianqing squinted and smiled slightly, but he suddenly lost control of his body and darted towards Li Weiyi.

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Barren Wind!

It was from Han Jiangxue.

Hai Tianqing put his left elbow in front of himself and seemed to have accepted his fate. He wanted to go toe-to-toe against Li Weiyi, but within this short period of time, Hai Tianqing suddenly swung his right hand!

The intense wave of Star Power flowed and was struck by lightning.

Han Jiangxue’s pupils constricted and she turned around to push Jiang Xiao away.

Jiang Xiao felt that something was amiss when he heard the buzzing above his head. Bearing Han Jiangxue’s instructions in mind, he hurriedly retreated.

Bang!

A flash of lightning landed on Jiang Xiao’s side, blowing up the sand.

Whoosh~

It then blew Jiang Xiao away.

It seemed… everything was alright.

However, everything behind had already been set in stone.

Han Jiangxue lowered her head quietly without turning around because she already knew what was going on behind her.

Hai Tianqing and Li Weiyi both stopped getting pushed by Han Jiangxue’s Barren Wind. Unlike Li Weiyi who was stumbling, Hai Tianqing landed earlier and brushed past Li Weiyi who was colliding into him. However, he did not let Li Weiyi off.

Hai Tianqing stretched out his arm and strangled Li Weiyi, who quickly dashed towards him, after which he put the latter on the ground.

Li Weiyi could not resist Hai Tianqing’s intense Star Power because of the huge difference in their physiques.

If the two had no external help, there would still be a chance if they collided at the location set by Han Jiangxue.

However, if Han Jiangxue gave up pushing their bodies and caused them to fall onto the ground, Li Weiyi would definitely die going against Hai Tianqing without any extra help.

Hai Tianqing slowly stood up, pushed his gold-framed glasses up his nose bridge, and turned to look at Xia Yan. “It’s indeed a thrill. I had an advantage because of my physique.”

Xia Yan snorted with laughter and tried her best to climb up. “What kind of a monster are you…”

Hai Tianqing didn’t say anything and instead stared at Jiang Xiao smilingly. “Good, keep working hard.”

Jiang Xiao was in a complicated mood and he quietly cast a “Bell” on his teammates.

Accompanied by the crisp and melodious ringing, Hai Tianqing stepped out of the battlefield and passed by Han Jiangxue. He whispered, “You’d better listen to the teacher and work on your transition from 2-2 to 3-1.”

Han Jiangxue lowered her head and bit her lip without saying anything.
