The Raptor monster truck has been heavily modified!
Its off-road capability is absolutely top-notch!
Even in the mountains and forests, it’s not slow at all!
The teams that set off earlier are now pushing themselves to the limit, frantically racing forward!
All aiming to reach the spirit beast gathering point as quickly as possible, to secure a good spot!
So they’re glaring at each other, none willing to yield!
Those with physical enhancement abilities are managing fine!
But the elemental mages are exhausted, panting like worn-out dogs!
Sweating buckets, tongues hanging out like dead dogs!
Li Xiang’s team, having started early, is currently at the front of the group. Li Xiang, drenched in sweat, is gulping down water!
Faintly, there seems to be the sound of an engine roaring!
Many people hear it too, their faces full of suspicion!
This is the Spirit Ruin world, how could there be the sound of a car?
Hmm!
It must be a mistake, probably just the roar of some spirit beast?
But the engine sound grows louder!
The students can’t help but turn to look back.
They see a black Raptor monster truck, carrying a dozen people, speeding along wildly!
Jiangnan, holding a megaphone, shouts, “Come on, make way, don’t want to crash into anyone!”
The teams are stunned: ???
What the heck?
What’s going on?
Where did that bloody car come from?
Li Xiang, Li Muyan, and the others are dumbfounded!
Holy crap! Isn’t that Jiangnan?
While they’re still in shock, the Raptor floors it and zooms past.
Mud and water splash everywhere, covering Li Xiang and his four teammates from head to toe!
Instantly, they’re transformed into mud people!
The only way to tell male from female is by the bit of flesh on their chests!
“Bloody hell! Jiangnan!!!” Li Xiang roars in fury, shouting at the top of his lungs!
But the car’s already out of sight!
[Resentment points from Li Xiang +1000!]
[Resentment points from Li Muyan +1000!]
[Resentment points from…]
The teams that were desperately running are gobsmacked!
What kind of god-tier team is this?
Where did they get a car?
Some immediately report it as cheating!
But there’s no response!
“Who are they? Where’d they get that car? That’s way too cool!”
“That’s Jiangnan from Jiang City No.1 High School! The car’s probably stored in his dimensional space!”
“This… this move is just too slick!”
“Space ability! So envy-worthy!”
“How do we even compete? What’s their team called?”
“Everything Jiangnan Says Is Right!”
“No! What kind of name is that? I’m asking for their team name!”
“Everything Jiangnan Says Is Right! That’s the team!”
“…”
Along the way, the resentment points list keeps refreshing like crazy!
Jiangnan’s grinning ear to ear!
If he could race or take exams every day, wouldn’t he be over the moon?
How does he make himself happy?
When others are miserable, he’s happy!
But it’s not Jiangnan being a jerk!
It’s the system’s fault!
The system’s the jerk, what’s it got to do with Jiangnan?
…
The people in the car gradually get off!
And Jiangnan’s team eventually stops too!
Because they’ve run into spirit beasts!
A pack of red-faced baboons!
Red-faced baboons:
Social spirit beasts! Mostly Bronze-level!
Extremely aggressive, with powerful physical abilities!
The baboon leader has a spiritual skill: Fearful Roar!
It can briefly stun enemies, causing dizziness and rigidity!
The pack Jiangnan’s team encounters has about seven or eight baboons!
Last night, Jiangnan thoroughly studied Zheng Wei’s notes!
So the moment he sees these red-faced baboons, their info pops into his mind!
Jiangnan’s interest is piqued; this is his first time seeing spirit beasts!
Unlike baboons in the outside world, red-faced baboons are massive, standing one and a half metres tall even when crouching!
Under their golden fur are bulging, well-defined muscles!
Their red monkey faces are ferocious!
The engine roar of the Raptor has already drawn their attention to Jiangnan’s group!
They cast wary glances!
“What’s the plan? Shall we take them on?” Jiangnan says casually!
Wu Liang nods, “I’m with you!”
Jiangnan grins, “I’ll pull the aggro in a bit! You tank the damage! Protect little Tangtang! Leave the rest to me!”
Tang Qianya, a bit nervous, asks, “What… what do I do?”
Jiangnan replies, “Stay behind the big guy! With your wood-based ability… there’s plenty of vegetation here, just control their movements!”
Tang Qianya nods eagerly like a chick pecking at rice, “Got it!”
The trio gets out of the car!
Wu Liang equips his iron shield and chopper blade, activating his beast transformation, turning into a bear-man over two metres tall!
Tang Qianya’s hands glow green, looking slightly tense!
Jiangnan draws his Tang sword, smiling, “Ready?”
Wu Liang slams his shield down, “Let’s do this!”
In a flash, Jiangnan teleports, appearing instantly among the baboon pack a hundred metres away!
The move is so sudden the baboons don’t even react!
His Tang sword slices through the air, carving a stunning arc!
With one swing, blood splashes as the head of a baboon over a metre tall is cleanly severed!
Jiangnan grabs it casually, grinning wide!
Tang Qianya gets goosebumps all over!
A Bronze-level red-faced baboon couldn’t withstand a single strike from Jiangnan?
That’s… that’s just too clean and brutal!
The stench of blood instantly enrages the baboon pack. They grab nearby rocks and sticks, hurling them at Jiangnan!
A baboon, nearly two metres tall and clearly larger than the others, the pack leader, opens its mouth and lets out a thunderous roar!
It’s the Fearful Roar!
Jiangnan feels like his heart’s been punched, briefly losing focus.
Taking advantage, a red-faced baboon swings a fist at him!
Tang Qianya’s hands flash with green light, controlling nearby vines to rapidly entangle the baboon leader!
But in less than three breaths, the leader breaks free!
By then, Jiangnan snaps back, teleporting back to his team!
He’s still holding the baboon’s head!
“Big guy, tank it! Take out the leader first!”
The Fearful Roar is too troublesome; a moment’s lapse in battle could be fatal!
Having learned his lesson, Jiangnan decides to target the leader first!
The enraged baboon pack charges forward, swinging sticks and rocks at the iron shield!
Wu Liang’s face flushes red, letting out a fierce roar!
His chopper blade swings wildly, knocking one baboon flying!
Jiangnan teleports again, appearing mid-air!
His Tang sword plunges into the back of the airborne baboon’s head.
By the time it lands, it’s dead!
The baboon leader’s eyes turn red, unleashing another Fearful Roar!
All three briefly lose focus!
The leader slaps down, forcing Wu Liang back three steps!
But Wu Liang charges forward with his shield!
With a “bang,” the baboon leader stumbles, falling backward!
Jiangnan seizes the moment, teleporting to the leader’s shoulder!
His Tang sword plunges deep into its neck, sinking to the hilt!
But another baboon swings a fist at Jiangnan’s head!
Unable to pull the sword out, Jiangnan abandons it, turns, catches the baboon’s fist, and throws it over his shoulder toward Wu Liang!
Wu Liang’s chopper blade slices it in half!
With the baboon leader dead, the remaining four red-faced baboons are no threat and are taken out in just over thirty seconds!
Six baboon corpses lie scattered on the ground.
Tang Qianya’s heart is pounding!
This… is this what they call carrying the team?
The whole fight took less than a minute?
That fast? Is that really okay?
