Gao Junwei’s Star Bead was not too eye-catching and his Star Technique, Charge, was undoubtedly the only one that was interesting. However, Jiang Xiao wouldn’t use a star slot to absorb that Star Technique.

At this time, the Jiang Xiao was holding onto Mrs. Gao’s Star Bead.

Among the Star Techniques that could be combined together, the few that he wanted were not present.

Razor-sharp, Perception, and Swiftness were clearly the Star Techniques of the Ghost Tiger because Razor-sharp and Perception were all of Silver Quality and were not from the Brass Quality Star Beads of the Dog-headed Walker.

However, the issue was that there were four Star Techniques belonging to the Ghost Tiger. Hence, once was missing.

Obviously, Mrs. Gao did not acquire that Star Technique.

If Jiang Xiao were to acquire all three Star Techniques together, he would be incurring a loss.

Everyone knew that low-level Star Techniques could be replaced by high-level ones, but if Jiang Xiao were to acquire all three together, what should he do about Howl?

When absorbing the Ghost Tiger Star Bead, would Howl be merged into the three-Star-Technique star slot? Or would it light up another star slot and occupy one alone?

Jiang Xiao already had a pathetically low number of star slots in the first place. He dared not take the gamble at all.

Besides, he wanted Perception and Swiftness, but he didn’t want Razor-sharp. If he wanted Perception and Swiftness, there was a special monkey-species creature of another dimension in northern Hubei Province that could provide him with them. They also had several other interesting Star Techniques.

Jiang Xiao looked at his internal Star Map to see that the remaining Rules Star Techniques in Mrs. Gao’s Star Bead from the Ice Soul—Ice Bomb, Ice Mist Armor, and Ice Roar—were unexpectedly complete.

However, the Dimensional Space of Ice Soul, Ice Cave, was not open to the public and it was very difficult to upgrade the Star Techniques.

Sigh, if only Han Jiangxue could absorb Ice Roar. Unfortunately, apart from Jiang Xiao, the others could only use human Star Beads for the replenishment of Star Power. They couldn’t acquire any Star Techniques from human Star Beads.

The newly emerged Light of Lightning and Chain Lightning made Jiang Xiao’s eyes glisten. Having personally experienced the “Light of Lightning” emitted by Mrs. Gao, he definitely knew how powerful it was.

Light of Lightning turned out to be of only Silver Quality!

The power emitted by Mrs. Gao was outrageous!

On one hand, it may be that the lightning-series Star Techniques were extremely destructive, and on the other hand, it could be that Mrs. Gao was extremely competent too.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao smacked her into the Sky Smasher...

Logically speaking, the Silver Quality Star Technique, Light of Lightning was excellent. Its instantaneous casting speed was rapid and it was extremely powerful. Besides, it was also of Silver Quality and was very suitable for Han Jiangxue.

He decided to go check if the Dimensional Space was opened yet once he went back. If it didn’t work, he would just go to Ruifeng Business Firm to take a look. However, he reckoned that it definitely wouldn’t be cheap since it contained Gold Quality Star Techniques.

Jiang Xiao’s sigh could be heard in the cave, accompanied by the crackling sounds of the campfire. He moved slightly because his right leg was tingling from remaining in the same posture for a long time.

Why did Jiang Xiao maintain the same posture for a long time? It was because of the girl resting with her eyes closed.

Han Jiangxue rested her head on Jiang Xiao’s shoulder. As Jiang Xiao moved her body slightly, she would tremble a little like an insecure child. She wasn’t in deep sleep and she slowly opened her eyes.

“Mmm...” Han Jiangxue stretched her legs and moved her body before saying, “Go to sleep, I’ll keep a lookout.”

Jiang Xiao said, “Let’s go back, we’ve stayed in the snowfield for several days. Second Last told us to go back before the Lunar New Year.”

Han Jiangxue hesitated for a moment before saying, “Let’s stay for two more days.”

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said, “Look at your watch. We’ve been counting the days. It’s already the 29th of the lunar month. I don’t want to celebrate the Lunar New Year here.”

Han Jiangxue rubbed his head with a smile and said, “It doesn’t matter where we celebrate the Lunar New Year, it’ll always just be the two of us.”

“Uh...” Jiang Xiao murmured, “I want to eat dumplings and drink some warm dumpling soup.”

She was slightly stunned because she did not expect him to say such words.

“I don’t know how to make dumplings from scratch. Let’s buy some frozen ones,” Han Jiangxue answered, seemingly indirectly agreeing to Jiang Xiao’s suggestion.

Jiang Xiao handed the Star Bead of the peak of the Galaxy Stage to Han Jiangxue and said, “Now you do.”

Han Jiangxue looked at him expressionlessly and said, “Is that so?”

“Uh...” Jiang Xiao waved his hands frantically and said, “If you don’t know how to, so be it. It’s alright, I’ll learn how to make them from online tutorials.”

He wanted to be mischievous, but Goddess Xue did not play along and cooperate.

Han Jiangxue smirked and chuckled. “After the Lunar New Year, use this Star Bead to breakthrough together. I think I’m almost at the peak of the Nebula Stage.”

“Huh?” Jiang Xiao was completely stunned. What’s going on? I’ve been training so hard every day and yet, I’m only in the Nebula Stage, which I managed to advance to using Skill Points.

Yet, you’re almost at the peak?

Are you still human?

Are you still my sister?

Tsk tsk, is it a big deal to have 30 star slots?
