Nine Star Burden

The dumbfounded Cai Yao looked at Jiang Xiao, unsure of what he meant.

Why did he think I was belittling him when I said 10 seconds? 

Sound of Silence is an abnormally functional Star Technique, and a duration of 10 seconds is long enough, alright? It’s enough to reverse the situation and decide our survival.

On the real battlefield, one second was enough to kill someone, what more 10 seconds.

Cai Yao looked at him and asked, “How large is it?”

1

Jiang Xiao was stunned. What kind of questions are these? Is this girl doing this on purpose?

She just asked me how many seconds it would last, and now she’s asking for the size. 

How should I answer her? 

1… 16? 

Years old? 

Cai Yan continued to probe, “What’s the scope of the realm of Sound of Silence?”

As soon as she finished speaking, roaring could be heard coming from the end of the corridor.

Everyone panicked and turned over to see that Shen Xing was flying over. After all, the girl was still a little immature. Hence, there was a trace of anxiety on her always indifferent face. She yelled, “They’re here! They found me.”

Shen Xing’s Mandarin was not perfect, but everyone understood her.

The sounds of dense footsteps could be heard, together with the sounds of zombies yelling, which was rather spooky and hair-raising.

Oh no, we actually alarmed the enemies! 

Shen Xing nimbly made a sharp turn and quickly dodged the arrows coming her way.

A frightening dark-green-colored poisonous arrow brushed past her.

The dark-green-colored poisonous arrow flew past Shen Xing’s ponytail and intentionally or unintentionally darted towards Xiong Chumo’s face!

The only Shield Warrior of Cainan Province immediately went up as a bunch of flowers grew out of his hand…

Wait a minute. 

A bunch of fresh flowers? 

Is everyone from Cainan Province that romantic? Brother, we’re fighting. Can you be more serious? 

The male Shield Warrior dealt with the poisonous arrow with one hand while a bunch of fresh flowers bloomed unexpectedly in his hand. The flowers were fascinating, like red roses, alluring, beautiful, and fragrant.

The flowers that came from the Dimensional Space were just like red roses on Earth. The way they bloomed resembled a couple’s budding romance.

“Wow!” Xia Yan’s eyes lit up. It wasn’t that she was not attentive during the fight, but rather, the flowers were too beautiful.

No, “beautiful” was no longer enough to describe the brilliant shield of blooming flowers. It was simply fantastical and dreamy!

Husky Xia was dedicated and loyal and would only admire Goddess Xue’s grace. She wouldn’t be distracted by other beautiful things!

Okay.

Unless the flowers were simply too beautiful…

Jiang Xiao thought, If I had this Star Technique, it would save me a lot of money when wooing girls, right? Even if I send her a thousand stalks of flowers every single day, it’d be a piece of cake, right? 

Why is this kid desperately fighting here? It’s so boring to fight and kill. Why doesn’t he go home and become a florist? He’d definitely get huge profits. He can meditate at night to restore Star Power and then sell flowers in the morning.

Most of the audience had never seen such a scene before. They couldn’t help but sigh. In the pitch dark Ancient Imperial Mausoleum, the shield of roses looked particularly mysterious and beautiful.

…

This cluster of red roses was not just beautiful, and it was also stronger than imagined. It had unique flower thorns, and its defensive power was much stronger than what was shown on the surface. It managed to stop the poisonous arrow immediately and even incorporated it into the flowers!

Everyone was overjoyed. Why? Because of the characteristics of the Arrow Of Plague!

Under normal circumstances, the poisonous arrow would explode, and the poisonous fog would fill the entire corridor, causing everyone to become passive.

The shield of flowers in the Shield Warrior’s hand caused the Arrow Of Plague to melt directly. What was that!?!

A series of arrows struck, and the shield of roses grew bigger and bigger in the hand of the Shield Warrior from Cainan Province’s team. It gave them an unprecedented sense of security.

“Attention!” Xiong Chumo exclaimed, showing the dominance of the commander of the main attacking team. “Han Jiangxue, get your Chain Lightning ready! Qi Yan, catch up with your Wind Blade. When Jiang Xiaopi launches the first shot of Sound of Silence, Cai Yao will count silently for ten seconds. You must work well with Jiang Xiaopi and listen to my commands!”

While speaking, Xiong Chumo raised her left hand high while a light-yellow-colored flower bloomed in her hand.

The flower grew on a vine that climbed down Xiong Chumo’s left hand and coiled around her fair arm before extending outwards.

The faint floral fragrance immediately lingered around everyone, and they couldn’t help but feel invigorated and clear-headed after smelling it.

They seemed to experience the feeling of waking up in the morning and taking a deep breath of fresh air after getting sufficient sleep.

“3… 2… 1!” Xiong Chumo finished counting down, and while they were fully focused, Han Jiangxue threw out a shot of Chain Lightning.

Crack!

The damage done by Chain Lightning was undoubtedly high. Not only did it dart towards the Ancient Warriors Tomahawk, it even electrocuted them and caused them to turn numb.

However, there was also a slight mistake during the process, because the Chain Lightning had hung itself on Shen Xing’s body!

Shen Xing took the lead in escaping, and there was a distance between her and the Ancient Warriors behind. According to normal situations, the Chain Lightning should be leaping nearby.

However, for some reason, the lightning leaped onto Shen Xing’s body. But, fortunately, everyone was rather far away, and the lightning leaped back again.

That left Shen Xing devastated as her fast-moving figure suddenly stiffened and leaped forwards before falling heavily to the ground. However, she still glided forward.

“Shen Xing!” the Rules Awakened Qi Yan shrieked in horror.

This is a damned manslaughter! 

Xiong Chumo was on the verge of tears because of distress.

She hurriedly said, “Cai Yao, help. Throw out White Starfall.”

Cai Yao didn’t hide her skills either. She waved her left and right hands repeatedly, and several stars gleaming with white light fell and landed on Shen Xing.

“Qi Yan, come on, use Wind Blade!” Xiong Chumo gritted her teeth and threw out a vine that coiled around Shen Xing’s body and pulled her back forcefully.

Qi Yan took two steps forward and reached forward with both hands as the wind howled.

Amidst the frantic wind, the Wind Blade slashed everything in its path.

The Ancient Warriors stopped one after another, raising their arms and covering their faces to resist. The scene was rather frightening because the Ancient Warriors were bleeding, and their wounds were clearly visible.

Their wounds were so deep that even the bones could be seen!

Qi Yan had a smug and proud expression. However, everyone underestimated the Ancient Warriors’ strength. In other words, they’d underestimated their combat capabilities.

Severed limbs?

Ordinary humans would have already begun rolling on the ground in pain, but the Ancient Warriors seemed unable to feel pain due to their high tolerance!

Even the ones whose arms were cut off by the Wind Blade had them grown out while breathing!

Unlike its initial fleshy state, the new arms were made of bone. No matter what it was, they could use it without any fusion to fight.

It was a gift from the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior!

As long as the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior was there, it would be hard for them to be destroyed unless their heads were cut off.

Qi Yan couldn’t control the slashing of the Wind Blade. Besides, that was the modus operandi of the Star Technique.

The large-scale Wind Blade obviously consumed plenty of Star Power. Qi Yan had already broken out into sweat that stuck to his shoulder, but the four Ancient Warriors Tomahawks were still alive.

Not only were they alive, but they also gained bone arms and legs. The “Tripod” Soldiers they had seen at first now also had four limbs.

If it had any more legs, it could be a ladybug.

It was not that Jiang Xiao and Cai Yao did not use Sound of Silence, but rather, they couldn’t find it at all.

The situation at this time showed the combat style of the main attacking team, and the contestants were also asking themselves if they would attack better than the Cainan Province team did.

The Cainan Province team was really unlucky to encounter the Soul Of The Ancient Warrior during their first time being the main attackers.

In the corridor, the creatures could be considered the focus, but the people ought to pay more attention to the unassuming, broken bones on the ground and under their feet.

“Work hard, Qi Yan!” Xiong Chumo threw away the little yellow flower in her hand, which withered and turned black as soon as it fell to the ground. It then turned into stardust and disappeared, appearing rather dreamy.

A cluster of blue flowers bloomed again in her hands. The flowers did not have a specific name and simply floated, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Everyone found their Star Power constantly rising!

Having gained some support, Qi Yan snapped back to reality all of a sudden and increased his power and output!

Three seconds later, the badly cut Ancient Warriors began to reveal Bone Shields growing on their bodies!

Next, the peculiar soldiers with Bone Shields all over their bodies grabbed the axes made of Star Power and strode towards everyone with menacing expressions…
