Nine Star Burden

Chapter 949: The horse and the halberd

Translator: 549690339

When Jiang Xiao and Yi qingchen returned to his courtyard, they saw a tall figure standing at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting for Jiang Xiao to return.

“Little Tao?” Yi qingchen looked at Chen lingtao suspiciously,”what are you doing here?”

Chen lingtao’s expression was a little awkward as he touched his head in embarrassment.”Hehe.”

Yi qingchen immediately thought of something and didn’t say anything further. He followed Jiang Xiao into the courtyard and sent him to the door before saying,””Rest early. I’ll kowtow to you tomorrow.”

Jiang Xiao looked extremely uncomfortable. As a modern person, he still wasn’t used to such actions. Regardless of whether it was done by himself or others, Jiang Xiao always felt very awkward.

Jiang Xiao said,”just serve me some tea. Keep it simple. I’ll start teaching you the skills tomorrow. The ceremony doesn’t have to be too complicated.”

Yi qingchen nodded his head.”It’s fine for everything to be simple. However, we can’t mess up the rules. You should quickly go to sleep.”

After saying that, Yi qingchen turned around and left.

When Jiang Xiao closed the door, he saw Chen lingtao standing in the courtyard. He stopped closing the door and said,””What are you standing there for?”

Chen lingtao stammered,”I want to … Want to learn. I want to learn the giant blade from you. No, I want to learn the heavenly halberd from you, sister qingchen.”

Jiang Xiao chided.”What exactly do you want to learn? haven’t you decided yet?”

Chen lingtao hurriedly replied,”I’ll learn. I’ll learn everything. I’ll learn whatever you teach me!”

In fact, Jiang Xiao didn’t care about it at all. He would be fine as long as he didn’t have to deal with 10 sheep. Otherwise, he would be distracted and might not be able to take care of them.

Jiang Xiao sized Chen lingtao up and said with a smile,””What if I don’t teach you?”

“I’ve been standing here the whole time,”said Chen lingtao with a serious face.

Jiang Xiao laughed,’Oh? Are you forcing me?”

“No, I’m just trying to fight for it. I’m just trying my best.” Chen lingtao shook his head.

“Yes.” Jiang Xiao stopped teasing him and asked,”are you using the shield-bearer’s defensive battle style or the shield-bearer’s strength battle style?”

Chen lingtao’s eyes brightened and he hurriedly said,”Fight with all your might!”

“Yes.” Jiang Xiao nodded and said,”with your physical condition, you should learn the heavenly halberd from qingchen. Go back and be on time tomorrow.”

“Really?” Chen lingtao asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Xiao waved his hand and chased Chen lingtao away.”Don’t tell anyone yet. I can’t take care of another disciple. You two are just right.”

Jiang Xiao then closed the door.

As Jiang Xiao walked towards the bathroom, he thought to himself, even if he doesn’t accept me, this kid will probably still take the video, right?

Jiang Xiao had no doubts about the Yi family’s ability to dig out the video.

Of course, anyone could take a video recording and analyze the movements frame by frame. The key was that there had to be someone who could recognize the goods.

The Yi family’s martial artists and staff members were obviously of very high combat skills, which was why they could deduce Jiang Xiao’s dual-blade routine based on the video.

While washing his face and brushing his teeth, Jiang Xiao chuckled in his heart. The martial arts arena was lit up by torches, but the quaint little house was full of electrical equipment, just like a guest house …

It was a quiet night.

The next day, in the middle hall of the house on the north side of the martial arts practice field, Jiang Xiao sat in the main seat and looked at the dozens of people in the house.

One could see Yi qingchen’s status in the clan. Many of the people here had rushed back from other places, showing how much importance they placed on Yi qingchen.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t remember their identity and strength in a short period of time. However, before he sat on the main seat, Jiang Xiao shook hands with all the big shots under the recommendation of his second uncle, Yi zhixiao.

This room full of Star Warriors could really be said to be filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. From the majestic Star power in these people’s bodies, they were all experts.

Yi qingchen wanted to practice the heavenly halberd technique. Strictly speaking, Jiang Xiao’s technique didn’t have a master. In fact, the master did give Jiang Xiao some “guidance” during critical moments.

Although Jiang Xiao practiced hard on his own, he would use his skill points to advance when he was about to reach the final stage.

Without the first step, they moved on to the second step.

Jiang Xiao took the acknowledgment letters from his two disciples and read them carefully before nodding his head. He wasn’t pretending to be satisfied, but rather, he could feel the meticulous preparation of his two disciples.

The next step would be to pay respects to his master.

[Courtesy: third, kowtow.] And the gifts.

To Jiang Xiao, this “courtesy” was more like a shackle that made him have no choice but to treat his two disciples seriously.

Given Jiang Xiao’s character, he would definitely try his best to fulfill his promise. However, the apprenticeship gift from ancient Huaxia gave Jiang Xiao a huge psychological cue.

Yi qingchen and Chen lingtao were serious about it, and at this moment, Jiang Xiao was even more serious.

Be it Chen lingtao or Yi qingchen, both of them had a strong head and there were cracks on the floor. Jiang Xiao could no longer sit still and hurriedly stood up to help the two of them up.

For the first time, Jiang Xiao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The two of them served the tea in turn and completely changed the way they addressed Jiang Xiao and called him “master.”

Jiang Xiao took a sip of tea and nodded repeatedly.

Although he wasn’t sure what he should say, there was nothing wrong with saying ‘okay’.

……

After changing his words, Yi qingchen brought out the pony from the ruins of calamity.

As for Chen lingtao, who was given as a gift, he had obviously planned for a long time. Jiang Xiao didn’t think that he could prepare everything in one night. He should have prepared the gift in advance.

Chen lingtao’s apprenticeship gift was a 2.5-meter-long halberd. The exquisite craftsmanship of its structure was enough to make Jiang Xiao’s eyes shine.

Of course, Jiang Xiao wouldn’t ask what the weapon was made of during the process of acknowledging his master. However, he was very sure that the cold weapon that the Yi family was able to bring out couldn’t be solely based on its craftsmanship. The material of this mighty heavenly halberd was definitely the best in the world.

Most importantly, Jiang Xiao had a sense of deja vu about the material of the halberd. It was not made of the modern industrial material of human society, but rather …

The more Jiang Xiao looked at it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He was shocked and suddenly realized that he finally knew why the material seemed familiar!

Wasn’t this the stone body of the void Phantom?

Due to the different characteristics of each creature of other dimensions, not only were their star techniques different, but their bodies were also different.

For example, in the Dragon Cave, Jiang Xiao used the transforming stars into martial arts-flower blade to attack the diamond-ranked Star Dragon, but the sharp flower blade couldn’t penetrate the star Dragon’s skin.

In the strange ball, Jiang Xiao also used his flower blade to attack the diamond-ranked Desperado, whose skeleton was shattered with one slash.

Only the diamond-ranked Desperado could be cut into pieces by Jiang Xiao’s flower blade under the blessing of the “seal of holy power”.

The main point was here!

Jiang Xiao had once used a flower blade to cut off the arm of the void scourge in the void dimension.

What was the result?

The flower blade shattered! The void specter’s arm had also been cut in half, but it had not been completely cut off by the flower blade!

As for the void scourge, it was a grade lower than the StarDragon and the alien planet Desperado. It was only a Platinum-ranked creature.

There was indeed a gap in their ranks, but in terms of biological characteristics, the powerful physical defense of the void scourge was far stronger than that of the diamond Desperado. It could even arm-wrestle with the StarDragon.

Jiang Xiao was secretly surprised. The Yi family actually used the stone body of the void shadow to Polish a halberd?

Furthermore, the color of this heaven scorcher halberd wasn’t a pure gray-white color. It was an even darker color!

In other words, this weapon wasn’t simply polished, but was compressed through some modern industrial Technology or the magical star techniques of Star Warriors?

At this moment, Jiang Xiao had completely become a spoiled child. He thought that since the essence of the weapon was already in place, could he paint it in other colors? To make the weapon look cooler?

The red horse silver halberd, the red horse Black halberd, or the red horse red halberd?

Tsk tsk … This is going to be fun!

Under second uncle Yi zhixiao’s lead, the simple ceremony was finally over.

The guests had yet to leave and were prepared to stay for the banquet at noon. With so many people coming from thousands of miles away to support them, the second uncle of the Yi family naturally had to receive them properly.

At the banquet, Jiang Xiao met a lot of people, and his two new disciples followed beside him to thank the guests for coming.

Among the many guests, there were a few people worth paying attention to.

One of them was Chen lingtao’s father, and the other was Yi qingchen’s mother.

At this moment, Chen lingtao’s father was just an ordinary father. He repeatedly urged Chen lingtao to study hard and such.

And Yi qingchen’s mother … It was around noon, when the banquet started.

The principal of Star Warriors University in Yanzhao province was the second university Principal that Jiang Xiao had met in his life.

The first one was yang chensan, the vice-principal of Star Warriors University in Beijing. At this time, he was no longer the vice-principal. After the previous Vice-Principal was transferred this year, yang chensan had been appointed and promoted as the vice-principal by the higher-ups.

As for the second principal …

“Mister Jiang, I’ll leave my daughter qingchen in your care.” Mrs. Yi, Dong tingyue, shook hands with Jiang Xiao.

Yi qingchen’s mother was named Dong ting Yue, and her name was very beautiful.

She was already in her mid-fifties, but she was not kind, let alone kind. She was thin, had a high nose bridge, and the corners of her eyes were slightly hanging. Although she was a little old, her capable temperament had not diminished, and she looked like a strong woman.

To be able to become the principal of Yanzhao star martial University, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Even the principal of an ordinary University wasn’t just a title. It was definitely a position that held multiple positions. Most of them had some status in other state institutions and might even play an important role, not to mention the principal of Star Warrior University.

Jiang Xiao nodded and replied,”of course! Of course!”

However, Jiang Xiao felt that something was amiss and Mrs. Yi’s action of shaking hands quickly changed.

She was still holding Jiang Xiao’s hand and patting the back of his hand with her other hand.””The future generations are formidable, the future generations are formidable!”

Clearly, principal Dong no longer treated Jiang Xiao as Yi qingchen’s master, but as his junior instead.

Jiang Xiao looked at Dong ting Yue and realized that her expression had eased a lot. Her stern gaze had also softened, and there was a hint of admiration and joy in her eyes.

Or even … Hmm, was this joy or love? Jiang Xiao couldn’t quite tell.

Jiang Xiao was willing to take principal Dong’s state, words, and actions as a compliment to himself and the joy of his daughter having a good master.

‘But …’ Jiang Xiao couldn’t lie to himself. He always felt that principal Dong was looking at his future son-in-law …

Well, it was a little troublesome.

…

Thanks to speechless 36 and Kazach for the 50000 Yuan reward.
