Nine Star Burden

Chapter 69: Rush!

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Bursting Flames!

Bang!

The explosive sounds filled the air one after another, and a figure flew out of the fire. It was Gao Junwei!

However, Gao Junwei’s body and flesh were still intact even though his clothes were torn, charred, and tattered.

It was because Gao Junwei managed to activate his Star Technique in time:

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Burning Flame!

It was the Star Technique that Xia Yan used the most because she liked covering her sword with fire.

At this moment, Gao Junwei was rather dumbfounded because he had been severely damaged by the fire element Star Technique even though he did have some defense and protection from the explosion.

Gao Junwei bore with the pain and flew towards the back under the strong impact. At last, he fell onto the ground and continuously rolled behind.

Gao Junwei was a Nebula Stage Awakened who was definitely experienced in controlling Star Power. Hence, he could use his Star Power to shield himself while using Burning Flame to cover his body, thus allowing himself to be unaffected by the flames.

However, Gao Junwei’s clothes were shredded and burnt by Yi Lianna’s Bursting Flames and the sharp-eyed students all noticed the Star Beads that had fallen onto the ground.

At this moment, Gao Junwei had no choice but to use Burning Flame to cover his body, or at least cover the bottom half of it.

Otherwise, it would be utterly embarrassing to run around naked in front of everyone.

“Go! Go!” Zhu Wen yelled loudly while trying his best to raise his legs. However, his legs did not seem to obey him as he staggered backward with his brother Zhu Wu. Feeling numb from head to toe, they could not maintain a steady-state.

However, everyone saw how hard the brothers worked. Although they were scurrying away in a frenzy and messy manner, they were traveling towards Gao Junwei!

As the only output, the cannon-like Yi Lianna immediately condensed another fireball and charged forward together with Jiang Xiao.

It was different from when Han Jiangxue released Barren Wind and controlled the direction of the wind. Han Jiangxue had to stand up on a steady gait and concentrate on controlling the direction of the Barren Wind, but Yi Lianna could sprint because she only needed to focus on condensing the Star Technique Bursting Flames in her hand. Before releasing the fireball, she would have to consider the position of the opponent and the route that she was going to take.

Jiang Xiao quickly crushed a Star Bead in his pocket and waved his hands, after which two rays of Blessings landed on the Zhu brothers. They finally stopped staggering and began walking on a steadier gait.

Of course, the upgraded Blessing had a great effect, but the diminishing of the overwhelming current was what gave them the ability to control their bodies again.

Gao Junwei was badly injured and he painstakingly tried to turn over while slowing pushing his tattered clothes down. He then propped himself with all his might while hearing the cheers that came from beneath the stage.

It was because the Zhu brothers had already rushed forth!

Gao Junwei’s expression changed abruptly and his lips curled into an icy-cold smile.

He knelt on the ground with his back facing the brothers, after which he quickly condensed a fireball in his hand.

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Bursting Flames!

Gao Junwei also had Bursting Flames in his Star Map, which consisted of two Brass Quality, three Silver Quality, and one Gold Quality Star Techniques.

Xia Yan had once mentioned that she rarely used that Star Technique because she would only use them to provoke the opponents or increase her reach.

At this stage, the difference between the Melee Awakened and the Rules Awakened was not as great as expected. With the improvement of the quality of Star Power, all Awakened would begin to confirm their own path, and the Star Techniques used by the Melee Awakened would be less powerful than the Star Techniques of the Rules Awakened.

Besides, as the Star Beads and Star Techniques improved, the frequency of the Melee Awakened absorbing High-Quality Star Beads would be smaller than that of a Rules Awakened.

The shape of Star Maps would determine the future of the Awakened, as well as the extent that the Rules Awakened and Melee Awakened could exhibit their power.

Of course, the rules would show as the Awakened continued to grow.

At this moment, Gao Junwei, who was shrouded in light, perfectly concealed the fireball in his hand.

That Star Technique would allow him to make sneak attacks too.

Gao Junwei had his back facing the four people from Class 2 and his front facing the three members of his own Year Three team.

Xia Yan was just about to give a verbal reminder but was stopped by Han Jiangxue who put a hand on her shoulder.

It was up to the others to deduce why the three of them did not take part in the battle, be it because they were tolerating Gao Junwei’s capriciousness, affirming his abilities, or other reasons.

However, if Xia Yan were to verbally remind the Year One students, the entire situation would be different. If that were the case, they might as well kill Gao Junwei.

Li Weiyi could not bear with it at all. He was extremely in awe of the bunch of children.

He felt that the conflict between him and Gao Junwei could totally be resolved during the next trip to the Dimensional Space or in private.

Although Gao Junwei’s selfish and cruel character caused everyone in the team to be dissatisfied, Li Weiyi was clearly the one who was in the greatest conflict with him, and also the one who wished he would die.

Li Weiyi did not plan to implicate Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan in this. However, he did not expect Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan to look for Li Weiyi and come up with a special proposal.

Li Weiyi was obviously pleased to welcome a Medical Awakened into the team, even if he were a greenhorn.

Well, how bad can Han Jiangxue’s brother be?

When Li Weiyi found out that Jiang Xiaopi only had nine star slots, he was completely bewildered.

There was nothing much in this vast world.

He initially thought that Han Jiangxue’s younger brother would be an excellent talent, but he did not expect him to be a little garbage.

However, since Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan were so determined, Li Weiyi decided to give it a try.

After watching the battle between the Year One students, Li Weiyi felt that Jiang Xiao’s abilities were great. Just like the insiders, he knew that Jiang Xiao was lowly qualified, but his supreme Star Techniques would help him in the battle.

Li Weiyi was filled with remorse while watching the Year One students go toe-to-toe against each other to resolve the conflict between him and Gao Junwei.

Perhaps, his mindset would apply to Yi Lianna now.

However, the Zhu brothers did not think much of it.

They were doing it for their brother and their pride. What did it have to do with Li Weiyi?

The brothers dashed towards Gao Junwei who was struggling to get up. Zhu Wu’s hand was emitting Green Glow and he leaped up to charge towards the back of Gao Junwei’s head.

Zhu Wen stood beside his brother and began to feel like something was amiss.

All of a sudden, Gao Junwei moved!

He turned around and launched the fireball that he had been hiding.

Zhu Wen exclaimed in horror, “Zhu Wu!”

Zhu Wu was dumbfounded. The fireball coming his way was blazing hot. If he were to be struck by it, he would probably lose his combat abilities!

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Bursting Flames!

Its power was incredibly massive, and even the White Ghouls’s coarse and thick skin could not withstand its impact. Even Gao Junwei himself was badly damaged by the blow just now.

Zhu Wu did not have strong defensive powers like Gao Junwei or the Star Technique Burning Flame that could help repel the damaging effects.

Zhu Wen leaped up with Green Glow in his hand, after which he flew towards Zhu Wu.

Green Glow was indeed a Beijiang godly technique that rose with the generations of Awakened from Beijiang.

The repelling effects had infinite purposes.

However, he did not have a choice because the brothers were too close to the scheming Gao Junwei.

At the instant that the brothers flew away from each other, the fireball had already exploded in between them.

Bang!

The brothers were completely drowned in the explosive flames that propelled them away.

“Ah!”

“Watch out!”

“Will the brothers be bombed to death?”

“Why is buzzcut boy still dashing in? Is he out of his mind?”
