In this moment, the entire spirit pool fell as silent as the grave!
You could truly hear a pin drop!
Chu Tianba sat amid the “goose down blizzard”, “clouds and mist swirling”!
The whole person, he just…
Sigh! Ethereal and otherworldly!
“Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Urgh! I’m gonna puke!”
“Stinks to high heaven! Chu Tianba, what massive grievance are you suffering!”
“Pfft hahahaha! True, not a peep from above, but below’s putting on quite the show! Haha!”
“You said we’d go the upper route! How’d you veer to the lower? Goose hahahaha!”
“This fart! It’s got real power! Blasting to the heavens, essential stuff!”
“Pants ripped to shreds, still okay? South God’s got shorts! Fancy one?”
A thunderclap from flat ground!
Shocking the whole field!
The players all laughed themselves silly!
Chu Tianba’s face was truly beet red this time!
In all my years, have I ever let one rip so loud?
I’m 170 jin! And it lifted me 5 cm?
What kind of firepower is this?
No face left to show anyone, okay?
Su Die’s face twisted in frenzy, fleeing the scene like her life depended on it!
“Die! Where you off to?”
Su Die said with disgust: “Gonna keep my distance from you, stinks!”
Chu Tianba panicked, rushing to explain: “Die! No! Listen to me! I…”
“Bang!”
A massive boom, more down feathers flying!
“It’s not what you…”
“Bang!”
“This fart, it’s not me…”
“Bang!”
“Don’t shun me, I…”
“Bang!”
Chu Tianba:!!!
He whipped round and slapped his own rear!
“You bloody well gonna let me finish? Stop interrupting me!”
“When I’m talking, don’t butt in!”
In this moment, everyone was floored!
Bloody hell!
What the?
You two in sync or what?
This the legendary “so mad I even smack myself”?
Su Die was near madness, pinching her nose: “Don’t come near! Stinks to death!”
Chu Tianba was desperate: “How could it stink? Loud farts don’t stink! Stinky ones don’t boom!”
“Don’t believe me? Sniff… Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Urgh!”
Chu Tianba dropped to his knees with a retch!
“Bang!”
A fresh puff of down drifted from the rip…
Su Die:!!!
Who you kidding, not even ghosts would buy that!
In a flash, the spirit pool reeked with an indescribable odour!
Jiang Nan calmly pulled a stack of gas masks from his alternate dimension!
Slapped one on Zhong Yinxue and the others!
The crowd was dumbfounded!
This prepared?
Your alternate dimension a bottomless bag of wonders or what?
Xia Yao sidled up to Jiang Nan all sneaky, whispering in his ear: “Little Nan! You sneak some little yellow beans in there again, huh?”
Jiang Nan heh heh grinned: “Smart cookie, you! Little clever clogs!”
Xia Yao’s big eyes curved into crescents: “You’re so naughty~”
“I just like the naughty ones! Haha!”
Jiang Nan beamed with pride, on the little yellow beans front! Never bowed to anyone!
Then Xia Yao scampered to Zhong Yinxue: “Xuexue! Don’t just eat whatever Little Nan gives you from now on, got it?”
“He’s proper bad! One slip and you’re done for!”
Jiang Nan:???
In this moment, even Chen Xuan couldn’t hold back, pinching his nose!
“This player! Rein it in a bit!”
Chu Tianba was near tears, I bloody well want to rein it in too!
If I could control it!
Right now, it’s calling the shots!
[Resentment value from Chu Tianba +1000!]
At this point, his glare at Jiang Nan could kill!
Definitely the popping candy’s fault!
But knowing that, so what?
Fancy starting a scrap in the spirit pool?
The popping candy was bought by me, eaten by me!
Chu Tianba was going mad, by now the popping candy’s effects had kicked in proper!
Everyone hustling to cultivate!
Just that each one enduring the gas attack, a real bliss and agony mix!
Chu Tianba didn’t want to waste time either!
Just sat to cultivate, but couldn’t hold a thing, one after another blasting out!
The down in his pants nearly all floated away!
“Mate, we’re begging you! Hit the loo!”
“Can’t stay here anymore!”
“Hold it in and burst! Spare us! You’re worse than South God!”
Chu Tianba really couldn’t stick it, cos by now he didn’t even know what was coming out!
Clutching his still-fluffing pants, bolted for the bathroom!
Gone half an hour!
When he emerged, Chu Tianba’s face had paled a full shade!
Back and sat five minutes!
Off again for half an hour!
…
By day’s end!
Chu Tianba had slimmed a full 10 jin!
Person swaying like a reed!
Steel teeth near ground to dust!
What use was scoffing that popping candy?
Cultivation time all day barely three hours!
Rest all bloody in the bog!
Over the day, just Chu Tianba alone forked over a cool 100,000 resentment value to Jiang Nan!
As for embarrassment?
He stopped caring!
Long bloody since lost it all!
Now even if Jiang Nan handed popping candy for free, he wouldn’t touch it!
Over the next few days, Jiang Nan finally quit the antics!
Instead, hunkering down to gear up for the beast hunt ahead!
Terrifying bit!
On day 14, Ye Xinghe, with popping candy’s boost! Charged ahead unstoppable!
Smashed through silver ten stars! Into gold!
Kicked up a right storm!
Jiang Nan hadn’t figured Ye Xinghe for such momentum!
Plus he started at silver six stars, so not all that surprising!
Those who used the popping candy, all saw massive gains!
Thought that’d be it!
But no one clocked, right before wrap-up!
Xiong Feng team’s Qi Yu hot on Ye Xinghe’s heels!
Pushed to gold one star!
One spirit pool session, and out popped two golds!
Can imagine, the beast hunt after!
Xiong Feng and Xing He teams holding absolute edge!
Jiang Nan’s team, once the hot favourite, no longer so clear-cut!
But Jiang Nan wasn’t fussed!
Chose to flog the popping candy, he’d clocked this scenario ages ago!
Thus, the 15-day spirit pool cultivation wrapped for good!
Right now in the hotel lobby!
The screen rankings fully out!
First place:
Jiang Nan’s team! Total points: 230
Second place:
Xing He team! Total points: 150
Third place:
Xiong Feng team! Total points: 140
Fourth place:
Qing Ning team! Total points: 110
Fifth place:
Qin Ling team! Total points: 90
…
Rankings dropped, Jiang Nan’s team still miles ahead of second by 80 points!
Downright scary!
How many spirit pearls to claw that back?
Just that outsiders had no clue Jiang Nan’s phone clutched 27 points in IOUs!
As for the once powerhouse Tian Ba team, didn’t even crack top ten!
But right now online, the rankings sparked fierce debate!
“Haha! South God lives up to the name! 230 points before beast hunt even kicks off, who can top that?”
“One of a kind in all these years!”
“Can’t wait for the beast hunt live stream!”
“Heh! Don’t count your chickens!”
“Don’t forget, second and third got two golds! Little dragon man Ye Xinghe! One-punch Qi Yu! Both gold!”
“Fresh breakthrough, but leagues above silver! Total dominance!”
“Yeah! Beast hunt full of twists, flip on a dime!”
“No matter! Still backing South God!”
“Membership topped up! Parked for the stream!”
