Chapter 1 You've Seen the Imperial Capital Star Warriors at Four in the Morning?

No, you haven't, because you can't test into it... uh, no, because you're not a Star Warrior.

Jiang Xiao had, and he saw it while crawling.

Yes, at this moment, Jiang Xiao was struggling to crawl on the plastic track of the stadium...

"Get up! Jiang Xiaopi! Don't act like a caterpillar here!" Qin Demon's roar echoed throughout the field, and as he spoke, a soccer ball slammed into Jiang Xiao's butt.

Jiang Xiao's butt and the soccer ball were both very elastic. The soccer ball hit his butt, and then flew high into the air, where Qin Wangchuan, who had arrived later, skillfully used his strength to stop the soccer ball at his feet.

Qin Wangchuan shouted loudly, "Have you reached your limit? Bless yourself! Then run!"

Jiang Xiao finally used his blessing, and a beam of light fell, restoring his strength.

At the same time, Jiang Xiao's heart was bleeding. He knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep today.

Yes, he hadn't just gotten up for a morning run, but had been running all night.

With the help of the blessing, Jiang Xiao finally got up, took a step, and continued to run forward.

Bang!

The soccer ball accurately hit his butt again, bounced back, and was controlled by Qin Wangchuan again.

With this kind of footwork, why are you a Star Warrior?

Why not go play professionally and make a name for yourself, and instead be a small instructor here?

"Your classmates have already gone to participate in the opening ceremony training! They are fighting to the death in another dimension, but you are running circles here! Why!?" Qin Wangchuan kicked Jiang Xiao's butt with the ball while roaring behind Jiang Xiao.

Qin Wangchuan: "Because you chose the Pioneer Army! Because you are a Pioneer Apprentice!"

Jiang Xiao's body suddenly tilted, I dodge~

Eh~ Footwork, footwork...

The soccer ball flew past him.

Qin Wangchuan was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily, "Your Pioneer comrades are all Star River stage, they are training in higher-level dimensional spaces, but what about you? You can only run circles here! Because you are a Nebula stage newbie! A newbie!"

Qin Wangchuan scolded Jiang Xiao while running to pick up the ball.

The scene was extremely comical for a time.

Jiang Xiao hadn't run even half a circle, and Qin Demon was chasing after him with the ball again!

He continued to roar loudly, "What did you come to the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy for after all your hard work? Isn't it to receive higher education? Isn't it to seek better resources? Look at what you are doing now? Others are training in dimensional spaces, training tactics, and honing their skills, but you can only run circles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiao hurriedly focused his attention. He knew that the ball was coming again.

Footwork, footwork~

Bang!

Jiang Xiao covered his butt. Damn it, wasn't it already diamond-level? Why does it still hurt so much?

"Because you are a Nebula stage newbie! You can't even be considered a Star Warrior, you only deserve to run circles here!" Qin Wangchuan stopped the soccer ball.

Jiang Xiao looked at Qin Wangchuan with a resentful expression,

A Chuan is so strict!

I really want to twist your head off and use it as a ball...

"Look at Gu Shi'an! He is already at the peak of the Nebula stage! What about you!? Jiang Xiaopi! What did you do during your vacation? Is it fun to play cards!? Is it interesting to grill skewers and sing karaoke?" As Qin Wangchuan spoke, he bounced the soccer ball and suddenly kicked it into the air.

Jiang Xiao, who was running frantically, suddenly felt the star power fluctuate in his body.

Turn around! Grab!

Jiang Xiao suddenly turned around and kicked the soccer ball back without unloading it.

He didn't know how to play soccer, and he didn't have any rules. He just kicked it back, and he didn't control the angle well, so he kicked the ball into the high sky.

"Good job, Jiang Xiaopi! How dare you..." Qin Wangchuan's words stopped halfway, because he keenly felt the violent star power fluctuation coming from Jiang Xiao's body.

This is... advancing to the Star Power realm?

Qin Wangchuan was stunned. No way?

He leveled up from being scolded?

Advancing to the Star Power realm requires a huge influx of star power to help Star Warriors break through their shackles. In other words, they need to absorb high-quality star beads to fill themselves up.

This Jiang Xiaopi... he was just running circles like a dead dog, panting for breath, and didn't absorb any star beads at all. Could he advance to the Star Power realm?

You know, this level of star power fluctuation is definitely not a small increase in realm, but should be the state when breaking through a barrier.

Qin Wangchuan knew that Jiang Xiao had always been in the late Nebula stage. Was he about to break through to the peak of the Nebula stage?

In fact, Jiang Xiao's star power had always been sufficient. He had already reached the peak of star power, and could even be called a half-step Star River. His advancement in the Star Power realm didn't require external help, only his physical fitness needed to keep up.

Qin Wangchuan hurriedly rummaged through his pockets to find star beads, but he didn't bring any high-quality star beads with him because he had been training Jiang Xiao since last night.

Qin Wangchuan was a little anxious and hurriedly said, "Reverse Flow Light, put it on me, it's better than nothing. I'll try my best to transfer star power to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the star power fluctuations on Jiang Xiao's body had disappeared without a trace.

Da... da... da...

At the same time, the soccer ball that flew into the sky also fell down, bounced high again, and fell again.

Qin Wangchuan: ???

It's over?

Was it successful or not?

It shouldn't be successful, right? Why was it so short?

"Ha..." Jiang Xiao slowly exhaled, suppressing the star power scurrying around in his body. His chest was hot, like he had drunk a small glass of spirits.

Qin Wangchuan walked over and said with concern, "It's okay, remember this state. With the experience of the first breakthrough, the probability of success next time will be higher."

Jiang Xiao weakly said, "Put away your concerned face. I need ruthless spurring and violent training."

Qin Wangchuan: ???

"Peak stage, Instructor Qin." Jiang Xiao sighed, shook his head, and continued running.

Qin Wangchuan was completely stunned,

What?

He reached the peak stage just like that?

Doesn't everyone's breakthrough attract wind and clouds and cause a huge commotion?

You're...

How is this like playing around?

Qin Wangchuan was stunned for a long time, then ran up with the ball and passed it short.

Jiang Xiao stretched out his leg to receive the ball, but his technique wasn't very good, and he stopped the ball more than two meters away...

Very good!

Jiang Xiao clenched his fists. Based on this stop, I should be qualified to enter the national team, right?

Qin Wangchuan chased after him, running with the ball while turning his head and asking, "Peak stage?"

Jiang Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Would I lie to you and get away with it?"

Qin Wangchuan nodded silently and said, "It seems that you trained very hard during your vacation."

Jiang Xiao looked up at the sky and said quietly, "Maybe the training level of the Night Watch Army's instructors is higher than that of the Pioneer Army's instructors."

Qin Wangchuan's face stiffened, and then he kicked the ball fiercely. The almost-deformed soccer ball "whooshed" and hit Jiang Xiao's butt.

Then, Qin Wangchuan's roar came: "Run! Break through to the Star River stage today!"

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao's full-speed figure, but nodded secretly in his heart.

This is just a child who is not yet an adult. Although he is glib on the surface, his heart is so calm.

Tell me, who wouldn't be overjoyed when they break through the Star Power realm?

Look at Jiang Xiao again, it's as if he wasn't the one who just broke through the barrier. He's not arrogant or impetuous, and he's still running with his head down.

Teachable!

Teachable!

Qin Wangchuan didn't make Jiang Xiao run to death again. The two trained until about 7 o'clock, and then went to the cafeteria to eat together.

The Pioneer Apprentice's lunch and dinner are made by professional Pioneer Army chefs, but there is no breakfast.

Jiang Xiao and Qin Wangchuan each ordered a bowl of tofu brains, several baskets of steamed buns, and a few side dishes, and sat down to eat.

Interestingly, because this is an international metropolis, when Jiang Xiao ordered tofu brains, the old man selling breakfast specifically asked Jiang Xiao whether he wanted sweet or salty.

Jiang Xiao and Qin Wangchuan were both from the Three Northeast Provinces, so, for them, what is sweet tofu brains?

So...

So Jiang Xiao ordered a sweet tofu brains to try those heretical foods.

After a mouthful of sweet tofu brains,

Eh?

It's quite tasty?

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, and then took another bite...

While the two were eating breakfast, Jiang Xiao said, "Registration for the World Cup participant trainees is about to begin."

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao, "What's wrong?"

"Uh." Jiang Xiao knew that what he said wasn't accurate, and restated, "The school selection competition, registration is about to begin."

Qin Wangchuan nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and continued, "Let's put aside the World Cup selection competition for now. I heard that to participate in the school registration, you need the joint recommendation of three Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy teachers. And these teachers can't be 'administrative', they can only be 'martial', they can only be teachers related to practical classes."

Qin Wangchuan obviously misunderstood, and said, "Don't worry, although your sister doesn't have practical class teachers, the Pioneer Army is jointly taught with the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy, and her Pioneer instructor is considered a practical class teacher and will recommend her."

Qin Wangchuan ate a steamed bun, and continued, "However, it is indeed a bit difficult for freshmen to obtain recommendation qualifications. The students in their third and fourth years have followed many practical class teachers, participated in many training missions, and know many teachers, but Han Jiangxue doesn't know many practical class teachers."

Looking at Jiang Xiao's thoughtful appearance, Qin Wangchuan smiled, "Your sister's team is very strong, the captain and teammates will help your sister get the teacher recommendation."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "What about me?"

Pfft...

Qin Wangchuan just took a sip of tofu brains, hurriedly turned his head away, coughed for a while, then picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, turned his head to look at Jiang Xiao, and said, "You want to participate in the World Cup?"

Jiang Xiao blinked, "Ah."

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao with a strange expression and said, "I thought the rumors were fake, thought you were just joking, you really want to participate?"

Jiang Xiao: "Ah."

Qin Wangchuan: "Do you have a team?"

Jiang Xiao: "I'm participating in the solo competition. Can you find me a few Pioneer instructors to write a recommendation?"

Qin Wangchuan looked straight at Jiang Xiao, pondered for a long time, seemingly thinking about how to phrase his words, and said, "Xiaopi, I know you have a certain amount of strength and have achieved certain results. You are very confident and want to win glory for the country. But the World Cup is not a domestic competition, especially since you are a support, the solo competition is very disadvantageous."

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao with a serious expression and said, "I can't promise to write you a letter of recommendation. The World Cup is not just your personal honor, but also the honor of the country. We can't mess around."

Jiang Xiao waved his hand casually and said, "I'll just conquer you with my strength."

Qin Wangchuan: ???
