Chapter 41: Bell and Imprint
“Hey, you two, what are you whispering about!?!” Xia Yan exclaid in displeasure while staring at the pair of siblings.
Han Jiangxue placed a hand on Jiang Xiao’s shoulder and brought him into the cave. “You can totally trust Xia Yan much as I do. In fact, the profession of an Awakened is not safe. If anything happens to one day, she will be the only person you can rely on in this world.”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Why did she say those words all of a sudden?
Xia Yan was just as stunned. She stared at Han Jiangxue and asked, “Why are you saying this to your younger brother?”
Han Jiangxue patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder and tilted her head towards Xia Yan. “That’s her Star Bead.”
Jiang Xiao hesitated for a mont before saying, “I can sense that this Star Bead contains a dical Star Technique.”
Xia Yan’s eyes widened and she questioned, “What do you an?”
“I an what I said, literally.” Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders.
Xia Yan asked, “You can extract Star Techniques from the Star Beads of humans?”
Jiang Xiao answered, “I don’t know, I’d like to try.”
“I’ve really found a great person to latch on.” Xia Yan leaned back and looked into Jiang Xiao’s eyes with an intense gaze.
“I’m just particularly sensitive towards dical Star Techniques. I hope you can let try,” Jiang Xiao said anxiously.
“I know. I relied on you two to make it this far. I’ll do my best to complete the task that you’ve given and beco one of the mbers of the squad, and make us a cohesive team that’s closely-knit and share the sa goals,” Jiang Xiao said, making a statent that would help from another perspective.
Xia Yan put her hands on her waist and stared at Jiang Xiao before lanting. “Oh, Xiaopi, Xiaopi, I hope you won’t be able to acquire any other Star Techniques apart from the dical ones...”
“Are there other dical creatures of other dinsions in Beijiang?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“Yes...” Han Jiangxue frowned and began to think.
Han Jiangxue imdiately answered him without thinking. It seed she had already done her research and co up with a concrete plan for Jiang Xiao’s future and the Star Techniques that he would acquire.
“Lava Ghoul,” she answered.
Xia Yan nodded and agreed. “Yes, they’re the only conventional dical creatures of other dinsions. There are so doors of Dinsional Spaces of other dinsions in the group of volcanoes near the other side of Wuchi. There are Lava Ghouls in there, and I obtained my Star Techniques Burning Fla and Bursting Flas there too.”
Jiang Xiao asked, “Lava Ghoul?”
Xia Yan nodded and explained, “Yes, Lava Ghouls. They’re disgusting creatures that maximize the Star Technique effects of healing comrades. Whenever a treatnt is applied, plenty of Lava Ghouls surface.”
“Cluster dical Star Technique?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“Yes, the dical light condenses into an entire patch that connects from one Lava Ghoul to another. It then forms a treatnt web that resembles a spider web that has clear healing effects.” Seemingly having realized sothing, Xia Yan asked excitedly, “You an?”
“I can feel that it contains dical Star Technique, but it’s different from the White Ghoul Witch’s Star Technique. So, I wanted to ask if we have any dical creatures in our hotown.” Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders.
“Yeah, you can’t think. This Awakened seems to be in his forties. He’d inevitably be the kind that travels and intrudes everywhere. There are plenty of dical creatures in Huaxia.” Seemingly still a little worried, Han Jiangxue continued, “If it’s a low-quality dical Star Technique that isn’t too domineering, and you only have 9 star slots...”
“He can upgrade the quality of his Star Techniques. What are you afraid of?” Xia Yan interrupted, undermining her concerns. She continued, “Look at his upgraded Green Glow and compare it to the previous Brass Quality Green Glow. The difference is huge.”
“That makes sense.” Han Jiangxue nodded, seemingly deep in thought. “If it’s the Lava Ghoul’s ‘Bell’, it should be considered very ideal. After all, it’s a cluster dical Star Technique.”
So it’s really called Bell?
What’s going on in this Star Map? Why is the information given exactly the sa as what is known to the general public?
“Bell?” Jiang Xiao asked in bewildernt.
“When the dical light is connected to the target’s body, a clear and lodious jingle will be heard. It will ring once whenever it’s connected to a target, and the sound is pleasing to the ears,” Han Jiangxue explained.
Xia Yan pursed her lips and seed to have recalled so bad mories. She said in displeasure, “Co on, lodious? That sound makes my head hurts. This Star Technique is disgusting.”
Han Jiangxue looked at Xia Yan sympathetically. Only the two of them knew what this gaze ant.
It seems that the two of them had so horrid experiences in that Dinsional Space.
Xia Yan looked at Jiang Xiao and said, “Absorb it, Xiaopi. Give your sister an eye-opener. If it’s successful, I’ll earn myself a competent teammate. It’s been so many years and people have always been the ones to suck up to . It’s really annoying.”
Jiang Xiao looked at Xia Yan’s long and beautiful legs before saying abruptly, “Actually, I’d like to suck up to you too. I’m just scared that you won’t let do it.”
“Huh?” Greatly stunned, Xia Yan turned to look at Han Jiangxue and asked, “Can I kick him?”
Han Jiangxue responded calmly, “You’re his ntor now. It’s up to you.”
“Okay.” Xia Yan nodded and glowered at Jiang Xiao nacingly. “Hurry and absorb it! Stop wasting ti! Regardless of whether you succeed or not, your training will have to be intensified. How does that saying go? Oh right, spare the rod and spoil the child.”
Jiang Xiao scratched his head and wondered, Is she taking advantage of ?
I must get my pride back.
Jiang Xiao glanced at Han Jiangxue and asked, “Sis?”
“Once a ntor, always a father,” Han Jiangxue answered calmly.
“Yes, I’m Daddy,” Xia Yan said while nodding firmly.
Damn it, you...
Jiang Xiao raised his hand and gave her a Blessing.
Xia Yan moaned. “Mm...”
Basking comfortably under the Sacred light, Xia Yan was filled with imnse pleasure that made her body quiver slightly while she enjoyed the wonderful sunlight and wind.
Just as she enjoyed it, she seed to hear a crisp jingle from Heaven.
Ding-ring-ring...
A white ray of light condensed and appeared in Jiang Xiao’s hand. It passed more than a ter and connected to Xia Yan’s body.
The light that was full of sincerity didn’t seem to want to stop. It was still looking around for signs of life. It then connected itself to Han Jiangxue, who was beside Xia Yan, turned around and surged into Jiang Xiao’s body again.
“I...” Xia Yan opened her eyes abruptly and looked at the dical ray of light that was surrounding the trio and shuttling through them. She could not help but be shocked.
In Jiang Xiao’s internal Star Map, the third star slot suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling silver light.
In the Star Technique tab, there were not only just two more Star Techniques but also an upgrade in all of his Star Techniques.
–
Blessing, Brass Quality Level 5
Decoy, Brass Quality Level 5
Green Glow, Silver Quality Level 3 (4/10)
Endurance, Silver Quality Level 3 (4/10)
Bell, Silver Quality Level 1
Imprint, Silver Quality Level 1

Even the strongest Awakened would have at most only four Star Beads and four Star Techniques embellished in their Star Map during the Stardust Stage. However, Jiang Xiao already had six Star Techniques...
Each of his star slots contained two Star Techniques.
However, Jiang Xiao did not choose to absorb Burning Fla and Bursting Flas. Logically speaking, the two Star Techniques that contained fire elents were rather practical too.
When surviving in the wild, igniting a fire and warming one’s body were very practical skills, and they could even be used for adding flas to weapons.
However, Jiang Xiao really had too little star slots, so he had no choice but to give up absorbing both the Silver Quality Star Techniques that belonged to the sa star slot.
What made Jiang Xiao a little miserable was that there was no change in his Star Map.
It seed that he couldn’t absorb Star Maps from human Star Beads or use them to increase the number of star slots.
Han Jiangxue said gently, “Tell it’s what I think it is.”
Jiang Xiao nodded smilingly and his Big Dipper Star Map appeared.
The silver light of the third star slot was rather eye-catching.
“Yes, one, two Star Techniques in one star slot. Bell and...”
“Imprint?” Xia Yan remarked in awe. “I really don’t know if I should feel fortunate for the dical Awakened or sad for you. You only have nine star slots.”
“Oh, so it’s called Imprint. From now on, I’ll be able to leave an imprint on your bodies before the battle begins. That will prevent from accidentally treating the enemies,” Jiang Xiao said pretentiously.
Han Jiangxue asked, “This dical light shuttled through the three of us and circled twice around us. Can the refraction of this light be controlled?”
Jiang Xiao thought about it and answered, “I’ll try.”
