No doubt Wu Liang’s next three days will be an absolute spectacle!
Come nightfall, it will be excavators clashing with road rollers, sparks flying everywhere, won’t it?
It will be oil rigs pounding against granite mountains, howling all the while, won’t it?
It will be comets smashing into Earth, volcanoes erupting, tsunamis raging, won’t it?
Jiang Nan gave a dramatic shiver and shook his head vigorously.
He could not think about it any more, he still had dinner to eat soon!
The leeks and the Viagra had already been arranged for Wu Liang. Jiang Nan hoped Wu Liang would be the one on top!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were holding Jiang Nan’s little hand as they walked home.
Only now did Jiang Nan notice, with surprise, that both Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had reached Golden Five Stars!
Xia Yao was at the very peak of Golden Five Stars, seemingly on the verge of breaking through to the next.
And that soft ring of flesh around Zhong Yingxue’s waist was gone!
He could faintly make out clear abs on her stomach. It was explosive!
An elemental ability user training her body to this level? How much suffering must that have taken?
In places he could not see, Xuexue and Langmie had been giving their all. Jiang Nan felt a pang in his nose.
“How many hours do you two sleep each day? Don’t ruin your bodies!”
Zhong Yingxue said shyly, “These past few days I couldn’t sleep, so I trained a bit more. Now that you’re back, I can finally sleep.”
Xia Yao giggled, “The new semester starts soon, and the annual ranking battles are coming up! We’re cramming at the last minute. We can’t fall behind!”
“You don’t need to worry. Hardly anyone in the academy can beat you!”
Jiang Nan looked smug. “Be confident! Drop the ‘hardly’!”
Zhong Yingxue let out a puff of laughter. “Don’t you drop the ball. There’s still the written exam. You’ve missed weeks of classes. Don’t fail it!”
Jiang Nan’s little face instantly darkened.
“Don’t worry. I’ll tutor you tonight and make you a late-night snack too.”
Jiang Nan blinked, then his face lit up with excitement. “Late-night snack? Does this snack need to be warmed up first before eating? Or…”
Before he could finish, Zhong Yingxue’s face exploded with red. She glared at him fiercely. “What are you thinking? It’s… it’s a proper late-night snack, not… not… oh!”
Jiang Nan was about to tease Xuexue some more and opened his mouth to speak, when suddenly from the boys’ dormitory area, a figure vaulted over a balcony!
A loud shout: “Master!”
It gave Jiang Nan quite a fright.
Wei Teng, carrying three knives, came rushing over in a flash, his expression brimming with excitement.
That shout roused the entire dormitory area. Students poked their heads out to look.
“Blimey! Nan God is back from harvesting corn in America? I heard he blew up the whole cornfield?”
“District 53 is gone! We had a nice New Year at home, but Nan God went and ran a dungeon, and soloed it no less!”
“Who knows what happened? They say it was a natural disaster. Isn’t Nan God basically that natural disaster?”
“Tsk… why come back so early? The annual ranking battles haven’t even started! Who in our year can take Nan God?”
At that moment, the girls’ dormitory area erupted too.
“Little junior! Got time tonight? Big sister wants to hear your corn-harvesting story!”
“Are you setting up your stall again? Big sister will definitely support your business!”
At this point, Liuli had grown out a neat crop of short hair. She stood on the seventh-floor balcony gripping a fruit knife, teeth clenched, beautiful eyes scarlet!
Even after nearly a month away, her popularity remained scorching.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao shielded Jiang Nan behind them and glared fiercely back at the girls’ dormitory. “What’s so good about a corn-harvesting story?”
“Yeah! We’re not telling you lot!”
Jiang Nan grinned happily. He was about to pull Xuexue and Langmie home for dinner when Wei Teng blocked the way, looking thrilled.
“Master! Spar with me again! I’ve been waiting for you for half a month!”
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue rolled their eyes. This guy!
Every day he came knocking at the villa asking if Jiang Nan was back, three times a day. They were utterly fed up.
Jiang Nan smiled. “Maybe later. I’m rushing home for dinner. The food will get cold!”
Wei Teng panicked. “No way, just a quick one. I’m going mad holding it in!”
“I’ve reached Platinum, and I’ve mastered all of Master Liu’s knife techniques! I’ve grown stronger!”
“Neither of us uses abilities. Let’s spar again, pure skill this time!”
Jiang Nan politely refused. “Really, not today. It’s inconvenient!”
The paralysis ring’s thirty-minute effect had worn off, and his left hand’s golden middle finger was still stuck upright!
He was left-handed. Holding a knife or halberd with his right felt wrong!
After more than half a month of chaos, Jiang Nan was physically and mentally exhausted. He genuinely did not want to fight.
Wei Teng took a deep breath, straightened up, and turned his face away. “Ahem… you wouldn’t… happen to be scared of me, would you?”
“Afraid of losing face if you lose to me? I’ll give you three moves… how about one?”
Jiang Nan’s face darkened. This provocation was pathetic!
No confidence at all, mate?
I didn’t want to show off, but you’re forcing me?
“Three minutes! I’ll put you down!”
He shoved both hands in his pockets and stood casually in front of Wei Teng.
Wei Teng was ecstatic. Finally, Master agreed!
Before the annual ranking battles, if he could have one all-out fight with Master, he would definitely improve!
Then rushing up the rankings wouldn’t be impossible!
As he spoke, he drew his three knives, one in each hand and one in his mouth!
All spirit blades. Even his gear was brand new!
At that moment, both boys’ and girls’ dormitory areas went wild!
“No way? Fighting the moment he gets back? Jiang Nan vs Wei Teng rematch? Wonder if Nan God can hold his own!”
“Nan God might struggle this time. Wei Teng’s Platinum now!”
“Struggle? Get out of it! Even Platinum Xiao Zhen couldn’t take Jiang Nan. Wei Teng’s no match!”
“You forgot? They agreed no abilities, pure physical…”
“Don’t talk rubbish! Ask around ten miles in any direction! Ever heard of the Overriver Dragon?”
Everyone was speechless. Nan God was still the same Nan God! Unsolvable Nan God!
Right now, Xiao Zhen and the Qi Delong-Dong Qiang brothers were leaning over their balcony watching eagerly, faces full of excitement!
Wei Teng narrowed his eyes. “Lion-Tiger! Draw your blade! Please instruct me! Slurp~”
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes. You still haven’t mastered not drooling when biting the knife?
Talking with a lisp? No expert aura at all, mate!
“No need to draw a blade against you! Come on then!”
Wei Teng paused. “Then what will you use? A spring onion?”
Jiang Nan grinned and shook his head. “No, no, no! I’ll use this!”
He pulled his left hand out of his pocket!
Jiang Nan: (˶‾᷄ٹ‾᷅˵)-`凸´-
On his left hand, an upright golden middle finger gleamed especially brightly!
On the middle finger was a big gold ring engraved with MB!
Wei Teng stared, his face turning green with anger!
You said instruct me, and you really use a finger to teach?
And it’s the middle finger?
Who are you looking down on?
I know you’re strong, but you don’t have to humiliate me like this. If you’d used index and middle finger together as a sword finger, I wouldn’t have said a word!
But the middle finger?
[Resentment from Wei Teng +1000!]
[From Wei Teng…]
First time he used a spring onion against me, second time even more outrageous, using a middle finger?
Is this insulting me or insulting me?
Wei Teng exploded. He felt his pride mercilessly trampled!
“Master! I’m telling you, don’t regret it! These three are all spirit blades. You don’t want that finger anymore, do you?”
Jiang Nan wore a profound expression. “You don’t understand Master’s realm!”
What’s wrong with using a finger?
This golden finger of mine is invulnerable to blades and fire, completely unbreakable! Rock hard!
Even Yang Jian couldn’t snap it when he tried. Spirit blades are nothing!
Grandmaster-level knife techniques can easily be performed with a finger!
Since you want instruction, I’ll give you proper instruction!
At this moment, the crowd watching from the dormitory buildings looked stunned and let out a collective “ooh”!
“Nan God might be overdoing it this time?”
“No one shows off quite like this. I don’t know if he can pull it off, but the taunting is maxed out!”
“Catching spirit blades with a finger? Mad! If you don’t want the finger, give it to me!”
“By the way, why is Nan God’s finger gold?”
Even Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao started worrying!
Little Nan! We know you’re strong!
But take it a bit seriously, alright?
Just one finger, how do you fight?
Wei Teng clenched his teeth, leaned forward. “Ultimate move! Asura Mode!”
In an instant, the whites of his eyes turned black, muscles swelled wildly, veins bulging like cyan demonic patterns!
Physical abilities soared!
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up. Another secret technique to boost the body?
Interesting! Just wondering if it’s as fierce as Blood Burn!
“Boom!”
A blast sounded in place. Wei Teng’s figure nearly vanished instantly, bringing three streaks of cold light rushing forward at extreme speed!
Yet Jiang Nan kept his right hand in his pocket, left hand middle finger raised, face relaxed and carefree!
“Blood Burn. Emperor Engine! Activate!”
