Chapter 156: Great Healer Wants to Attack

“Teacher Hai?” Jiang Xiao sat up to see that there were still three Ape Ghouls on his sword which was continuously emitting a steady stream of Star Power and vitality which surged into his body.

“He led the Ape Ghoul King to the supply point and we’ve also released our signal flare. The guardians should be on their way here and might have already met him,” Han Jiangxue said as she picked Jiang Xiao up by his shoulders.

Li Weiyi, who was ahead of the team, had already defended them with his shield. He was holding onto a long sledgehammer in his right hand, which was shrouded in Green Glow, and blasting away the numerous Ape Ghouls attacking them.

Li Weiyi was supposed to be at the front line, but the swift and nimble warrior Xia Yan beat him to it. Not only did she already enter the battlefield, but she had also already stabbed an Ape Ghoul!

Whoosh!

Xia Yan drew a beautiful arc from the top to the bottom with her giant sword.

A fiery red Flame Arc was formed by the steel sword and it blew away all the leaves scattered on the ground. She then slashed an Ape Ghoul near her with precision and force.

Roar! Roar!

The Ape Ghouls pounded their chests, and when they discovered additional members in the team, they actually activated the Star Technique Brutality.

Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned. Right from the start, the Ape Ghouls chasing him had never once activated the Star Technique Brutality.

There were more than ten Ape Ghouls, but none of them had ever activated Brutality!

What’s going on?

Do they also abide by the principle of increasing combat power only when there are more opponents?

Jiang Xiao suddenly felt insulted and humiliated. Even though he killed several Ape Ghouls, it turned out that they didn’t take him seriously at all.

What a great… insult!

If the group of Ape Ghouls had really activated Brutality, it would definitely be a different situation for Jiang Xiao.

Han Jiangxue waved her hand and overlapping layers of space appeared on her left.

She reached forward with both hands and pointed at the two Ape Ghouls that were pounding their chests vigorously. She then shot them with Barren Wind…

The two gigantic Ape Ghouls flew over with a whistling sound, but there was nothing for them to leverage on in the air. Hence, there was no outlet for them to release their energy, and they had no choice but to flaunt their fangs and roar while pounding their chests. However, their efforts were futile because they still ended up in Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher.

On the other side, the flames were burning unrestrainedly. Li Weiyi put away his shield and stomped his foot on the ground, after which the Ape Ghouls in front of him got blasted away.

Not far from his left, Xia Yan stepped on an Ape Ghoul corpse and lifted her sword again, after which she slashed it down forcefully at the Ape Ghoul that had been blasted away by Li Weiyi. She then threw another fiery Flame Arc…

Output, this is output!

Look at them, now look at yourself, Jiang Xiao!

Jiang Xiao questioned himself and wondered if he had gone mad because he actually criticized and mocked himself.

But then again, should I start to consider acquiring some output Star Techniques?

In a team, Jiang Xiao’s identity was indispensable and he also played an important role. He could even bring about a qualitative improvement to the team.

However, once he was alone, his weaknesses would be exposed. He didn’t have any standard output Star Techniques and simply relied entirely on his Basic Techniques. He would sometimes seize the opportunity to use his healing to his benefit.

Maybe, I should really think about choosing an output Star Technique?

Forget it, I’ll think about that when I go back.

In order to make himself more useful, Jiang Xiao extended his left hand and pointed his fingers to the air, after which he hurriedly gave the three of them a shot of Dawn.

“Retreat! 2-1-1!” shouted Han Jiangxue loudly.

Li Weiyi’s figure swiftly emerged from Bursting Flames and dashed towards Han Jiangxue.

Xia Yan couldn’t be bothered about the corpse of the Ape Ghoul beneath her feet either. She frantically retreated because she discovered that the remaining Ape Ghouls had all activated their Brutality Star Techniques.

That meant that the battle would end only if one side died.

At least, the Ape Ghouls would have nowhere to run because they were completely muddled up and killing was the only thing they could think of.

If one of the parties could flee, it would be Xia Yan’s team.

“Eight Ape Ghouls have activated their Brutality Star Technique. It won’t be easy to deal with them,” Li Weiyi said while holding up his shield.

“2-2.” Xia Yan said abruptly, “Xiaopi, follow me. We’ll chase them and try to destroy them.”

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly and said, “The best way is for you two to defend the front and stop the Ape Ghouls. Once the two in my Sky Smasher die completely, we can kill another two.”

“Trust my judgment, Xiaopi can do it,” Xia Yan said.

Han Jiangxue almost laughed out of anger. “How long has he been learning from you?”

Xia Yan dragged the giant steel sword along and looked like she was ready to charge. She said, “He’s always like this. No one will know his true abilities until the critical moment arrives. Judging from what I just saw, his basic skills are extremely solid.”

Slightly stunned, Han Jiangxue asked, “Are you serious?”

Xia Yan nodded and said, “Blow those Ape Ghouls away as fast as you can. Let us face as few as possible.”

At this moment, Jiang Xiao also stood up and stepped on the Ape Ghouls on the wooden sword to pull them out.

No one expected that most of Jiang Xiao’s Star Power had recovered at this moment.

The Star Power provided by the three Ape Ghouls made Jiang Xiao feel extremely comfortable.

He didn’t dare to show it because, at this moment, no one in his team knew that his Nostalgia had already been upgraded to Gold Quality.

However, he reckoned that his team would probably discover the difference after the battle began.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Han Jiangxue continuously blew at the flying Ape Ghouls and asked, “Xiaopi?”

Jiang Xiao pulled a fancy trick with his sword which he held onto with both hands. His actions were almost the same as Xia Yan’s as he yelled in a heavy Beijing accent, “Screw it!”

Xia Yan had a smile of approval on her face as she strode towards him and said, “Speak properly. Why do you have to put on a Beijing accent?”

Jiang Xiao hurriedly caught up and yelled, “I’ll beat him to death!”

Xia Yan leaped up and held onto the sword with both hands before placing it behind her head. She smiled and cursed. “I said, talk normally and use Beijiang slang instead!”

Jiang Xiao flew forward and watched as the Ape Ghouls got blown away by Han Jiangxue. At last, the remaining Ape Ghoul scrambled towards him as he yelled, “What are you doing? Why do you bother about me?”

Xia Yan was finally comfortable!

She jumped up and swung her sword downwards, releasing a blazing Flame Arc. Even though she was in the air, the halo of Nostalgia on her ankles was flickering. Hence, there was also a hint of purple light in the halo of Nostalgia around her ankles.

The angst Ape Ghoul were not to be trifled with and they easily dodged Flame Arc. However, it suddenly swayed unsteadily and flew up before hitting the crimson Flame Arc.

It was Han Jiangxue’s assist.

Bang!

The Flame Arc blasted on the Ape Ghoul’s body, causing it to curl up while placing its large arm in front of its face to minimize the damage.

The huge body was bombarded and blasted down, while the Ape Ghoul’s body turned over and landed on the ground. Before it could even climb up, a wooden sword was stabbed downwards into the Ape Ghoul’s body, forming a huge pit in the ground.

At the same time, Xia Yan landed steadily, holding the sword beside her before rolling around gently and standing up again.

Han Jiangxue looked in admiration at the way that her teammates cooperated. While waving her arms and smacking away the Ape Ghouls that had flown in from afar, she calculated the time. After a few minutes, she activated Sky Smasher and pulled the two Ape Ghouls out.

When Barren Wind rose again, another two Ape Ghouls flaunted their fangs and were thrown into the Sky Smasher helplessly.

Li Weiyi, who was supposed to fight at the forefront, became idle at this moment. On the surface, he was standing next to Han Jiangxue and protecting her, but in reality, he was just observing.

At this moment, Li Weiyi thought to himself, This kid has just joined the team but is growing way too quickly.

Jiang Xiao was just a sixteen-year-old teenager who ought to live a stable life in Year One. Yet, he got dragged to Year Three and was made to take part in the training with them.

However, look at Jiang Xiao now!

Not only was he allowed to fight together with Xia Yan, but he could also even avoid being besieged by the Ape Ghouls and survive.

Regardless of strength, Jiang Xiao’s mental state and willpower were far better than that of his peers of the same age.

Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan had a tacit understanding with each other. With Han Jiangxue’s help, he managed to keep the situation in control.

Han Jiangxue’s Barren Wind and Sky Smasher had become ultimate weapons, and the crazy Ape Ghouls were finally wiped out with their cooperation.

Everyone quickly collected the Ape Ghoul Star Beads and charged towards the South without hesitation.

They were relieved to meet the guards who were on patrol before they reached the supply point.

When they saw the Chinese soldiers, the children felt much safer.

The battle finally came to an end.
