# Chapter 782: Nine Star Flash
Jiangnan felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat!
Xia Yao grinned mischievously: "I told you, before we leave the abyss, both of us had to reach Platinum!"
"I'm stupid, I didn't make it to Platinum, so..."
Seeing Xia Yao's flushed cheeks and shy expression, who could resist that?
Was Big Lang Mie about to fulfill the promise she made back then?
Jiangnan swallowed hard: "So what?"
Xia Yao pressed her forehead against his, her face growing even redder, just about to speak!
"Boom!"
A dull thud rang out. Xia Yao stood frozen in place, and Jiangnan was dumbfounded!
Countless streams of spiritual energy surged madly toward Xia Yao, even forming a visible cloud of spirit energy!
Xia Yao's level had actually broken through to Platinum?
And the ultimate motivation was to pry into Jiangnan's little secret?
At this moment, Xia Yao's face was filled with disbelief, excitement overwhelming her!
٩(๐˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)۶ "Yahooo~ Platinum! I finally made it to Platinum!"
Jiangnan was stunned!
So you decided to break through to Platinum right now?
You can't do this to me!
His face practically looked like he was about to cry. His good thing had just been ruined like this!
Xia Yao didn't dare delay, quickly focusing her mind to complete the breakthrough!
To help her break through more smoothly, Jiangnan crushed three Diamond-grade Spirit Beads, raising the surrounding spiritual energy concentration!
At this moment, Xia Yao's total spiritual energy reserves and physical fitness had undergone a qualitative leap!
Excitedly, she threw her arms around Jiangnan: "Haha, I'm Platinum now! You're a step too late~"
(๐❛ัꇴ❛ั(｡)•́~•̀)
Jiangnan took out a Small Ginseng and handed it to Xia Yao!
"Here~ Heal your injuries first. I have a gift for you later!"
Hearing there was a gift, Xia Yao's eyes sparkled as she quickly ate the Small Ginseng!
While she was healing, Jiangnan prepared a set of clothes for Wolfbane and set them aside.
He also took out the Starlight-grade Spirit Bead he had "traded" from Heidi.
Xia Yao, whose nose was still bleeding, dashed over excitedly, her eyes gleaming!
"Wow~ Starlight-grade! Didn't you already give one to Xuexue? How is there another? This..."
Jiangnan looked smug: "Heh, pretty awesome, right?"
"This is the best Spirit Bead I can get right now. See if you can use it!"
"If it's an attack skill, absorb it directly. If it's a defense skill, give it to Wu Liang. I'll find another one for you!"
Big Lang Mie specialized in close combat. She had four skills: two movement skills, one control skill, and one attack skill!
Although the Steel Claw was powerful, it was still too one-dimensional. At Platinum rank, she needed a stronger attack skill!
As levels increased, skill slots became fewer and fewer. Not a single one could be wasted!
Xia Yao nodded repeatedly. The best one was the one that suited her!
She quickly took the Spirit Bead and began examining it. Her excited wolf tail stood straight up!
"It's an attack skill! Super powerful!"
Jiangnan grinned: "Perfect, absorb it and let's see!"
As the surging spiritual energy rushed into her body, Xia Yao's pretty face flushed red!
In an instant, her level shot up to Platinum Two, showing just how pure the spiritual energy of a Starlight-grade Spirit Bead was!
As the Spirit Bead in her hand turned to powder, Xia Yao excitedly leaped into Jiangnan's arms, hanging on him like a koala!
)⁼̴ﾛ⁼̴(~ෆ
"Giggle~ Nine Star Flash! Xiaonan, you're awesome!"
(˵ಡ◡ಡ): "So... should I break my promise?"
Jiangnan's body stiffened. Break the promise?
That meant he wanted both? Jiangnan immediately fell into a fierce internal struggle!
What should he do?
If he gave up halfway, he would be unworthy of the word "Nan" in his name!
But right now, he was wearing that crimson little triangle!
If Big Lang Mie found out he was wearing this, he'd be mortified!
His lofty image would completely collapse!
At this moment, the devil and angel inside Jiangnan were locked in battle!
ଘ(๐•̀﹏•́)⊃━☆Ψ(｀～´#)^
Then the devil beat the angel to death!
ଘ(˘◠˘(#)Ψ(｀ꇴ´#)^Hehehe~
Jiangnan: (｡ෆヮෆ)
"Alright, alright! Let's..."
Before he could finish, Xia Yao grabbed his shoulder and pulled him outside!
"Come on! Let's go test the power of the new skill! Hmm? What were you about to say?"
Jiangnan looked dejected: (°¯᷄～¯᷅°) Nothing!
Xia Yao snickered: "I'm not going anywhere. What are you so down about?"
That made Jiangnan feel a bit better, then he asked: "What was that you said about Nine Star Flash earlier? Is that the new skill?"
Xia Yao immediately got excited: "It's the innate skill of a Silver Star Marten!"
Jiangnan raised his hand and released six layers of Spatial Barriers stacked together, smiling brightly!
"Want to give it a try?"
Xia Yao couldn't wait. She dashed far away!
She immediately went into half-beast transformation, extending her wolf claws: "I'm starting now! Get ready!"
Jiangnan waved his hand. His Spatial Barriers weren't weak in defense either!
Xia Yao directly activated Blood Incineration. Wolf King!
She stacked Light Feather and Silver Shadow on herself, and even used the Steel Claws!
"Steel Claw. Nine Star Flash! First Flash!"
In an instant, silver starlight lit up around Xia Yao's body, covering her entirely, making her look as dazzling as a galaxy from afar!
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, Xia Yao's figure vanished from where she stood!
Jiangnan only saw a flash of silver light before his eyes, and Xia Yao was gone!
The next moment!
"Clang!"
One Spatial Barrier was torn apart, but blocked by the next!
Jiangnan was stunned. This was Big Lang Mie's usual peak attack power? Nothing special!
However, after delivering that strike, Xia Yao didn't stop. She shot out at even greater speed and circled back!
"Second Flash!"
"Clang!"
This time, three Spatial Barriers were ripped apart. The attack power was twice that of the first!
At this moment, the silver starlight covering Xia Yao had partially turned crimson!
"Third Flash!"
"Boom!"
The last three barriers were effortlessly shredded. Jiangnan quickly released more barriers, barely blocking them!
Jiangnan was shocked: "The attack power is three times the first flash?"
By now, Xia Yao's speed was nearly too fast for Jiangnan's eyes to track!
By the fifth flash, the six Spatial Barriers in front of Jiangnan were instantly torn apart!
Jiangnan quickly threw out a Space Wormhole!
Xia Yao charged headfirst into it without looking back, slamming into a rock mountain!
"Boom!"
Covered in dust, Xia Yao walked out, most of the silver starlight around her now turned crimson!
Jiangnan quickly raised his hand: "Stop! No more! If you keep going, I'll have to cheat with wormholes!"
Xia Yao quickly dissolved her skill, excitedly running up to Jiangnan: "Is the Nine Star Flash powerful? The ninth strike can deal nine times the damage of the first!"
"The starlight around my body has a charging effect. Speed and power both stack!"
"Hmm~ But my physical strength probably can't support me reaching the ninth flash..."
Jiangnan swallowed: "Are Starlight-grade Spirit Bead skills always this overpowered?"
Xuexue's Nine-Headed Phoenix, Lang Mie's Nine Star Flash!
Ahhh! He was so jealous!
His own Platinum-grade skill still hadn't shown up!
