Chapter 258: Gold Quality Bell?

The appearance of the “zombie” girl made Jiang Xiao’s heart waver. Logically speaking, Jiang Xiao should keep his mind off everything else during the final lap before the extremely important national college entrance examination.

However, the mysterious appearance and departure of that girl, the mysterious Star Beast that she had mentioned, as well as the words that she whispered into his ear made Jiang Xiao ponder over it again and again.

“Liars will have their hearts torn apart.”

What did that mean?

Did she say that in a moment of spite? Or is that a threat?

Or is it... some kind of Star Technique that’s like a curse?

Jiang Xiao was a little confused and flustered, and his emotional state was directly reflected in the test results.

At this stage, Jiang Xiao had basically determined which three out of the six subjects he was going to sit for. They were History, Geography, and Politics.

In the end, he decided to give up Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Since they were unsuitable for him, he couldn’t force it.

A breakup should seem decent and no one had to apologize at all.

Jiang Xiao had already cast his science textbooks in the corner. However, due to his distraction, the results of his History test were not satisfactory.

Han Jiangxue was feeling anxious for him. If nothing went wrong, Jiang Xiao would be sitting for Mandarin, Math, English, Political Studies, History and Geography for the national college entrance examination.

Among these six subjects, Han Jiangxue was the least worried about Political Studies.

Yes, Jiang Xiao was a postgraduate and a member of the workforce in his previous life. When he turned on his full abilities, he would be able to do well. In the entire Year Three cohort, he was ranked amongst the top few students for English and Political Studies.

On the other hand, Jiang Xiao was doing pretty decent in History, but if he wanted to get into Beijing Star Warrior University, he would have to achieve results beyond that.

The trio was now practicing for the test during their morning exercises. Han Jiangxue had been helping Jiang Xiao memorize the content covered in the syllabus for History.

Jiang Xiao really envied Li Weiyi who could lie on the table and take a nap while everyone else was too busy to even have breakfast.

To be fair, Li Weiyi paid attention to them too.

After confirming the current pace of their lives, Li Weiyi took the initiative to help buy breakfast for them, which varied between buns, fried dough sticks, pies, bean curd, soy milk, preserved egg, and lean meat porridge. He almost fed Jiang Xiao too.

Li Weiyi kept a rather low profile. If Jiang Xiao was the one who received the admission letter from the military academy in advance, he would have been on cloud nine and become really arrogant.

What about Li Weiyi?

He kept a low profile both in real life and online.

He did not update his Weibo page at all, unlike Jiang Xiao, who did not have too many posts but only posted about his victories and the awards he received.

Jiang Xiao was very sure that if he were to receive a letter of admission from the Beijing Star Warrior University, he would also take a photo of it and upload it on Weibo.

He felt that since he had put in the effort to obtain the letter, it wouldn’t be overboard to show off about it online and fish for some compliments.

At this point, Jiang Xiao already had more than 80,000 fans on Weibo. He won himself plenty of fans because he had won the championship in the provincial leagues and the Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition.

Like account holder, like fans. The fans who had left messages and comments on Jiang Xiao’s Weibo post were all extremely mischievous. If Jiang Xiao were to upload a photo of his admission letter to Beijing Star Warrior University, probably numerous jokes would appear in the comments.

The exciting last lap of the national college entrance examination was about to end soon. It was not that they were about to sit for the examination soon, but rather, the annual National High School League was about to begin.

Besides, Jiang Xiao had also been working hard to concentrate and prepare himself for the final competition before the written college entrance examination.

The Beijiang Provincial High School League could not be compared to this competition at all.

The National League was not inferior to the important competitions that would be held during the college entrance examination. If the Beijiang Provincial League could attract the attention of the people in Beijiang, as well as the surrounding provinces, the National League would attract the attention of everyone in the nation. When they entered the semi-finals and truly become the top eight, they would definitely attract the attention of the entire world.

A nation would be strong if the youths were strong.

Over the years, the competitions of the highest level were all feasts for the eyes of people all over the world.

Although the students were below the Nebula Stage, they already had enough star slots and exciting battle tactics which would definitely grasp the attention of everyone every year.

Even the National League for high school students would affect the overall direction of the Awakened students. The MVP of every final competition had been a Rules Awakened student for seven years straight.

They reckoned that the winner should be a Rules Awakened too, judging from the information gathered by various provinces.

Only until the preheats of the National High School League that took place dozens of days before the actual match did everyone pay attention to the barren Beijiang Province, which was the northernmost province in China.

Why was it barren?

Because the Beijiang Province had never emerged as champions.

It was the same every year, without exception.

Everyone could see the development of the three northern provinces.

The teams that represented Beijiang Province would often arrive and leave early.

Out of the three northern provinces, only Liaodong Province was competent enough. However, the teams that represented Liaodong Province had never made it to the semi-finals and did not even come close.

The ones who had really produced significant and satisfactory results were the brave warriors from the Mongolian grasslands. Although they did not make it to the semi-finals, they were dominant enough.

Strictly speaking, the students from the Eastern Five League of Dameng Province were not from the three northern provinces.

However, due to historical reasons, the Eastern Five League and the three northern provinces were inextricably linked to each other. They all spoke in standard Beijiang Mandarin. Thus, the officials of the educational institutions of the North Three Provinces felt immense pride.

Back to the main topic. Why did everyone shift their attention to the “barren” Beijiang Province after the preheats of the National League?

Without a doubt, it was because of Han Jiangxue!

This year, she was the only Awakened student with 30 star slots in the entire nation!

In fact, it wasn’t just for this year. The last time a contestant had 30 star slots was in the year 2001. The contestant was from Southern Guangdong Province and he was the one who led his team to achieve stellar results.

In other words, another “God” had appeared after fifteen years!

Han Jiangxue had a high reputation in the three northern provinces and people often talked about her astonishing qualifications, which were absolutely the best in the world. However, she didn’t gain much exposure because the broadcast of the provincial leagues could only reach out to a limited audience.

People simply felt that they had heard about her or seen some news about her somewhere before.

However, when the National League rose and the participants of every province were exposed by the media, Han Jiangxue shot to fame in Beijiang Province!

It was without warning at all.

The facts had proved that plenty of people had the attributes they deserved. The only difference between them was a “platform”.

How famous had Han Jiangxue become?

Not only did she dominate the Weibo hot search rankings for several days, but she was also on the national news channel.

Jiang Xiao could understand how his “Little Jiangxue” felt because he had gained even more followers on his Weibo account, who were fans of Han Jiangxue and called themselves Jiang Xiao’s “brother-in-law”.

Han Jiangxue also had her own Weibo account which contained only a minute amount of information. She did not update her account regularly or bothered to manage it. It was more like an account that she had created to supervise him. Jiang Xiao had been managing his Weibo account for a long time and he only managed to get more than 90,000 fans thanks to the clout. Yet, the number of Han Jiangxue’s fans exceeded six figures even without doing anything.

Well, she was a girl, after all.

If her parents had given her a beautiful face, she would easily win the attention and favor of others as long as she had a better personality and was less pretentious.

However, if she was beautiful, and at the same time, knowledgeable and competent, she would definitely be a heavyweight.

Han Jiangxue was extremely famous. 200 teams from all over the nation that consisted of plenty of young talents were all ranked below “Goddess Xue”.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was seated on the ground in the training room.

He was holding onto a record of information about the participants and flipping through it joyously.

He flipped through the pages quickly and muttered, “26, 27, 25, 28, 25, 26, 26, 27, 24?”

Jiang Xiao was taken aback for a moment and he asked, “24 star slots? How did you get in?”

Li Weiyi looked at Jiang Xiao in shock and thought, Shouldn’t you be the one asking this question?

How did he get in with 24 star slots?

Shouldn’t you ask how someone with 9 star slots came in?

“Hey!” a female voice exclaimed from the door.

Jiang Xiao looked over, only to see that Xia Yan had popped her head in and was winking at him.

Jiang Xiao asked, “What are you doing?”

Xia Yan glowered at him and exclaimed, “I told you to come over, why do you have so much nonsense to say!?!”

Xia Yan then glanced at Han Jiangxue, who was seated quietly beside her and absorbing Star Power.

Filled with doubt, Jiang Xiao walked over, only to see her smiling at him with her hands behind her back. “Say something nice and I’ll show you something.”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Say something nice?

Are you dreaming? Bring it here!

Jiang Xiao wrapped his hands around Xia Yan’s slender waist and touched her hands behind her.

At the next moment, Xia Yan was stunned and she lowered her head to look at Jiang Xiao lying in front of her chest.

Jiang Xiao was rather stunned after touching the item in her hand.

The information displayed in the internal Star Map was of a Star Bead from the Lava Ghoul Witch!
