Chapter 257: Caesar
“Don’t, don’t, don’t, Xiaopi, this, this, this matter can be discussed properly!” Wu Haoyang frantically repeated, without his previous domineering aura at all.
“Aha!” Jiang Xiao pointed at him as if trying to say “I gotcha!” He continued, “I knew it was you, Qian Zhuang!”
Wu Haoyang was dumbfounded.
Jiang Xiao took another mouthful of noodles and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Why are you wearing Wu Haoyang’s clothes?”
Wu Haoyang was speechless.
“What are you people doing here?” All eyes were on Wu Haoyang and Jiang Xiao, who was eating grilled noodles. Before they even knew it, the real star of the show had already arrived.
When the students saw Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan, they instantly cheered and egged them on.
Xia Yan looked dazed. Of course, she had also seen Wu Haoyang in the middle of the square. However, he was supposed to be domineering and fierce. Why was he smiling at Jiang Xiao?
What happened?
“Go, go ahead and fight her first,” Jiang Xiao said while patting Wu Haoyang’s shoulder. He continued, “After you lose, go buy me some grilled noodles.”
An informal sparring challenge began just like that.
Upon hearing that they were going to fight each other, Xia Yan instantly sobered up and asked Han Jiangxue for the weapon before das.h.i.+ng towards him with the wooden sword.
Jiang Xiao was stuck in the crowd craning his neck to watch their fight. Could the wooden giant sword and the wooden crescent sword really fight each other!?!
They exchanged blows, and even the surrounding spectators couldn’t help but cheer.
The group of students had just been provoked. They were infuriated and couldn’t help but stomp Wu Haoyang to death.
They seemed rather fascinated and admired the two strong warriors from deep within.
There had never been such a strong high school student in Beijiang Province before!
Putting aside Han Jiangxue, who had 30 star slots, Xia Yan, who had 28 star slots, was already way stronger than other students her age!
Not to mention Wu Haoyang who was in the peak of the Nebula Stage!
How powerful were the people from the top echelon of the Beijiang Province? How competent were the champions of the provincial leagues?
Gao Junwei and Yu Zhen could be considered tyrants!
The formidable and powerful figures of Beijiang Province, like Han Jiangxue, Xia Yan, and Wu Haoyang, would definitely be able to defeat Gao Junwei and Yu Zhen easily.
Su Rou was on cloud nine today and there was a huge mess in the live-stream. The two of them were elite melee fighters who could represent all high school students in Jiangbin Province. What else was there to say?
The live-stream experienced a sudden surge in views, and Su Rou was looking at Xia Yan with an almost loving gaze…
Just as the battle was in full swing, Jiang Xiao felt that his left hand was being held.
Huh?
Which hero is it?
Taking advantage of me while we’re in the crowd?
Jiang Xiao turned his head, only to see something extraordinary.
He saw a beautiful side profile and the beautiful face of a girl that was so fair that it seemed to be emitting light.
She was 1.68 meters tall and was in her early twenties.
She had soft, curly, and blond shoulder-length hair, a high nose bridge, and blue eyes.
Because the sky was dim and the street lamps in the field were brightly lit, her skin seemed to be glowing and her eyes were a charming, ocean blue color.
She was obviously a Caucasian girl, probably of Nordic ethnicity. Her skin was almost pale and Jiang Xiao felt that her skin tone was not healthy.
“You have indeed seen it before,” the girl said while holding Jiang Xiao’s hand.
Her English was not pure and she had a special accent. Fortunately, Jiang Xiao’s English was not too bad and he had no problem with simple communication.
“Who is it?” Jiang Xiao asked, holding onto her icy cold hand after realizing that she was beautiful.
“My pet, the dream I’ve been chasing for. Its imprint is on you,” the girl said softly.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
The girl took a deep breath while her blond, shoulder-length hair glistened under the light.
Jiang Xiao asked, “You mean… I’ve been marked?”
The girl’s breathing stagnated and she glanced at Jiang Xiao in her peripheral vision. However, she did not turn her head in the end, and instead, continued to look at the compet.i.tion. She asked, “Where is it?”
“Who were you before this?” Jiang Xiao asked. Although he was confused, it did not prevent him from picking up girls.
The girl asked, “Where is it?”
Jiang Xiao said, “I have plenty of time to waste with you.”
The girl remained silent for a while, then said casually, “You can call me Caesar. Where did it go?”
“Caesar? Seems a little overbearing. Or… do you foreigners only have those same few names? Is that why famous people share the same name with at least one person?” Jiang Xiao muttered.
He suddenly felt her cold hand clench slightly. She said in a stern yet amusing voice, “Tell me, where is it? Your answer is going to concern your life.”
Jiang Xiao was extremely bewildered. A Nordic girl sneaked into his school and held his hand for no reason. She even snapped at him somehow.
Jiang Xiao asked helplessly, “What is it?”
The girl tried her best to purse her lips and said slowly, “The magical Star Beast that allows you to see the future.”
Jiang Xiao was shocked, and he suddenly thought of the battle that took place on New Year’s Eve.
The Dimensional s.p.a.ce was opened rather abruptly and the battle was incredibly peculiar as well. Under the chaos of time and s.p.a.ce, Xia Yan became a predecessor while Jiang Xiao actually went back to the past and became a prophet.
Hence, those were not dreams at all.
That was a special kind of creature of another dimension!?!
Was what Jiang Xiao experienced, the peculiar Star Techniques exhibited by the creature of another dimension?
Is this girl here to find that weird creature?
Jiang Xiao digested the shocking piece of news and pondered for a while before saying, “I don’t know. I’ve never seen it. If it weren’t for your appearance, I might never know that such abilities exist. I thought I was just dreaming.”
The girl finally turned around, raised her head slightly, and looked at him with an intense gaze.
Her dark blue, ocean-colored eyes seemed to contain the deep sea, making Jiang Xiao deliberately avoid her gaze.
He felt rather uneasy.
Logically speaking, no one would feel comfortable being stared at by a pale-skinned zombie.
The girl looked at Jiang Xiao quietly and suddenly tiptoed while leaning forward. She then moved her lips closer to his ears and said softly, “Liars will have their hearts torn apart.”
The girl then let go of Jiang Xiao’s palm and backed away.
“Wow! So cool! G.o.ddess Yan! G.o.ddess Yan! G.o.ddess Yan!”
“Xia Yan! I want to give you a baby!”
“So suave! Keep going!”
All of a sudden, the students grew extremely agitated and got into an uproar. They began dancing and cheering loudly.
Jiang Xiao was slightly surprised, but his reaction was extremely fast. He frantically reached out in a bid to grab the girl trying to leave. However, the crowd seemed to deliberately go against him.
Why is she like an illusory dream that can pa.s.s freely through crowds, while I’m like a 140-kilogram Peppa pig?
“Shut up!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed, causing everyone to fall silent.
The students were all flushed and they seemed to have suffered internal injuries.
Jiang Xiao tried his best to push the students away and ran out with all his might. At last, he was greeted with the sight of the empty parade square.
Hai Tianqing could be heard reprimanding the students at the back. Jiang Xiao had never heard him speak so loudly and in such a serious tone before. “What are you doing around here? Don’t you know that cla.s.s is ongoing now? Hurry and get back to cla.s.s!”
The students quickly dispersed. However, they were all rather refreshed.
Hai Tianqing was good at picking opportunities.
Previously, Xia Yan had only taken a slight advantage. She might have to fight dozens of rounds for there to be a clear winner. Yet, Hai Tianqing voiced up to stop them at this moment. He had not only saved Jiangbin High School from embarra.s.sment, but he also stopped another private battle.
Everyone left quickly and the noisy parade square was soon empty.
There was only a lonely figure left facing the empty parade square and feeling a little confused.
“Xiaopi?” Han Jiangxue’s voice suddenly came from behind him. “Why are you s.p.a.cing out here? Go back to cla.s.s.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xiao shook his head, trying to make himself wake up. He then turned around and saw the look of concern in her eyes.
At this time, the two of them were the only ones left on the parade square.
“What’s wrong?” She reached out and touched his head.
However, Jiang Xiao stopped her and held her hand tightly.
Han Jiangxue was slightly shocked and subconsciously struggled but to no avail. Hence, she let him hold onto her.
Jiang Xiao held her hand tightly and thought to himself, At least you’re real.
