The group disembarks the train full of vigour!
Everyone carries massive rucksacks!
Yu Qingqing even has a frying pan hanging off the outside of her bag, goodness knows what for!
Only Jiang Nan’s group!
Travels light!
Sunglasses, chest bag, baseball cap!
Headphones on, jamming to tunes!
Zhong Yinxue even has a DSLR slung around her neck!
It makes Zheng Wei and the others grind their teeth in envy!
People compared to people, it’s infuriating!
You lot really aren’t here for a holiday?
All humans the same!
Why are you so brilliant!
The group presses on without pause, boarding the coach!
Straight to Bai Shan Airport!
Teams converging from all over the province will rendezvous at Bai Shan Airport!
On the coach!
Jiang Nan sits in the back row, Zhong Yinxue gently leans on his shoulder for a nap!
While Yu Qingqing and Lin Chuqing sit up front whispering!
“Chuqing! You really fancy that salted egg Superman? It’s been ages, any leads yet?”
Lin Chuqing’s pretty face flushes: “Shh! Xiao Yu! Keep it down, I haven’t told anyone else!”
“I found his award video online! Says he won 50 million!”
Xiao Yu’s eyes widen: “Wow! Dynamic light beam aside, so loaded too, total dream guy!”
Jiang Nan: ???
Cold sweat instantly breaks out!
What total Nan Shen?
No! Not me!
Shut it!
Keep talking and the cat’s out of the bag!
If everyone finds out, where’s my dignity?
Bloody hell!
You big campus belle!
Fancy anyone but a sodding salted egg Superman?
The coach barrels into the deep woods, winding up the mountain road!
Finally arrives at Bai Shan Airport!
Garrisoned by troops, security tight, and the car park already has plenty of coaches!
They head to the waiting hall, where Jiang Nan’s group is truly taken aback by the scene!
Heads bobbing everywhere, each with huge rucksacks!
Teams assembling here, plus news media from all over, long lenses and mics thrust at seed teams from top schools!
After all, in this era of spiritual energy revival!
Spiritual Martialists are at the forefront, and high schoolers as the pillars of future society!
The high school All-Star Tournament draws attention from all walks!
Major platforms broadcast live for ratings!
Under the site staff’s guidance, after registering personal info, each gets a satellite watch!
When it reaches Jiang Nan, his identity info glitches again!
The staff checks with superiors, face pales, hurriedly inputs for Jiang Nan, hands back the ID with both hands!
It draws sidelong glances from plenty!
But Jiang Nan pays no mind, eyeing the hall full of contestants.
His eyes sparkle!
Prime business opportunity, can’t miss it?
Pats Wu Liang’s shoulder: “Bro! Your time to shine!”
Wu Liang blanks, then face lights up with excitement!
“Got it, Nan Ge! I’ll sort it proper!”
Zhong Yinxue and Xia Yao look puzzled, what are these two scheming?
So under the baffled stares of their schoolmates!
Jiang Nan deftly whips out the stall cloth, lays it down, neatly stacks Hulk-brand shorts and antidote mung beans!
Puts down the little stool!
Jiang Nan steps one foot on the stool, one hand with a megaphone!
Bellows:
“Everyone, quiet down!”
The voice from the megaphone echoes through the whole waiting hall!
The venue abruptly hushes!
Everyone’s baffled!
What’s up?
Starting?
But then…
“Come on! Step right up and have a look!”
“Latest Hulk-brand shorts, gospel for beastification Spiritual Martialists!”
“30,000 each! Time-limited discount! Today only!”
The contestants: ???
What the bloody hell?
They trace the voice, see Jiang Nan hollering passionately at the stall!
One hand megaphone, one hand cartoon shorts!
Waving the flag!
Throwing spirit! Throwing flair!
The crowd blanks out!
Bloody hell!
In this solemn waiting hall, you set up a bloody stall?
Selling shorts?
What sort of immortal is this!
“This bro’s a legend, bloody hell!”
“Golden shorts? Diamond-encrusted or what? 30,000 a pop?”
“Not five-coloured with lights, right? Haha!”
Zhong Yinxue and Xia Yao cover their faces!
Heavens! So dedicated!
When is this, and you set up a stall?
Selling shorts at that?
Stop waving those shorts!
So embarrassing!
[Resentment value from Zhong Yinxue +333!]
[Resentment value from Xia Yao +333!]
Qin Shou and the others are baffled too!
Bloody hell time-limited discount…
Back at school, clearly 10,000 each!
Reverse discount, eh?
Jiang Nan sees all eyes on him, hurries: “Plenty might not know our products yet!”
“Big guy!”
Wu Liang excited: “On it!”
“Rip!”
Wu Liang’s clothes shred apart, he transforms straight into a four-metre black bear!
The little divine dragon shorts on him glaringly conspicuous!
Jiang Nan: Pfft…
Bloody hell!
Why’s your taste getting bolder each time, bro!
This wrong path, how’s it veering further!
Zhong Yinxue and Xia Yao’s minds go blank!
Thought just now was embarrassing enough!
Didn’t expect! Even more mortifying!
Lin Chuqing, Qin Shou and the lot back off over a hundred metres!
Yep! Right!
We ain’t from the same school as these two clowns!
We don’t know ’em!
Gasps ripple through the crowd!
“Oof bloody hell! What the sod is that! My eyes! Eyes!”
“Oh! Look at that misplaced sass!”
“Tsk tsk tsk! Opened my eyes today!”
“This black bear so burly, seems decent, who knew he’d… eww~”
“Hulk-brand shorts? Withstands full beastification? Such a thing exists?”
“I’ll take two!”
Eye-searing as it is, the beastification ability contestants’ eyes light up!
Jiang Nan’s spot on!
These Hulk-brand shorts, gospel for beastification indeed!
30,000 each! Not pricey!
Plenty rush over to buy right then!
Jiang Nan’s over the moon!
And after a buzzcut burly hunk buys 10 pairs of Hulk shorts!
He approaches Wu Liang, their gazes lock!
The burly hunk’s eyes gleam with excitement!
Licks his lips: “In Thousand Islands Lake! Care for a spear duel?”
The words drop, the whole venue quiets a beat!
This… so direct?
Actually hooks one?
Jiang Nan’s eyes bulge, face full of horror!
Bloody… bloody hell?
This burly brute wouldn’t be…
Wu Liang perks up at the words!
Hmph!
From young to now, aside from Jiang Nan, I’ve never bowed to anyone!
Wanna fight me? Bring it!
“Hmph! Why not? My great blade’s been thirsting!”
The burly hunk’s eyes shine: “Good! I’ll wait!”
He steps up, claps a big hand hard on Wu Liang’s rear!
Wu Liang grins ferociously!
Such a novel challenge method!
Steps up and gives the burly hunk’s rear a clap too!
Jiang Nan: !!!
Bloody hell!
Bro!
You bloody misunderstood something, right?
Don’t you think your chat’s off?
Not even on the same wavelength!
