Ye Xingxuan frantically patched up the crystal eggshell.
By this time, Jiangnan had already teleported after her on Little Dimple and snapped his fingers.
“Void Black Hole!”
A powerful suction erupted, pinning the crystal egg firmly against the black orb. Ye Xingxuan’s pretty face went white with fear.
Her spiritual energy drained rapidly, but she just managed to withstand the crushing force of the void black hole.
Jiangnan tried to open a spatial wormhole inside the egg to drag her out, but the wormhole refused to form within it.
Jiangnan: (｡˘•～•˘｡)
Ye Xingxuan said smugly, “Hehe. You’ve got nothing on me, have you?”
“Save your energy and go pick on someone else. I’ve felt quite enough of your special attention.”
Jiangnan gritted his teeth. “I refuse to believe this. No one knows how to crack an egg better than me.”
He flung out void chains that wrapped around the crystal egg and swung it through the air like a meteor hammer.
Then, like throwing a discus, he hurled the egg downward.
The impact smashed an entire stone-pillar mountain to pieces.
“Little Dimple. Ice and Fire!”
“Got it, master~”
Please forgive me for helping the villain. I’m only trying to survive.
Sorry, my fellow egg.
The creature opened its mouth and unleashed a Great Inferno, then its body turned deep blue and a Snow Kingdom Descent crashed down.
The two attacks alternated, one scorching, one freezing.
Under the rapid expansion and contraction, cracks soon spread across the crystal egg’s surface.
Ye Xingxuan clenched her teeth, utterly shocked.
How could Jiangnan’s spirit pet have dual attributes? Ice and fire?
She had never heard of such a thing. If this continued, she really would not hold out.
Her spiritual energy was almost gone.
Still unable to break through, Jiangnan looked furious.
He even considered pulling out his little stool to smash her with it, but too many people were watching. Better not reveal his trump cards carelessly.
He teleported down, gripped his Blood-Drinking Halberd with both hands, swung it in a full circle and struck.
Bang!
The crystal egg flew off, new cracks appearing on its shell.
It travelled who knows how far. Before it could land, Jiangnan teleported after it and struck again.
The live-stream chat exploded.
“Hahaha! Confirmed. South God really did go and train with the athletics team!”
“Javelin, baseball, discus, and now golf?”
“That shot gets 82 points! The other 18 I’ll give you as 666!”
“Oh, look at this overwhelming power. It’s just unfair.”
Eight consecutive strikes left Ye Xingxuan feeling as though she herself would shatter. The world spun around her.
Her pretty face was deathly pale. Her spiritual energy was spent.
“No more. I really can’t take it. Stop hitting me.”
Jiangnan replied, “Just one more. Just one.”
Ye Xingxuan: !!!
[Resentment value from Ye Xingxuan +1000]
Was this open to negotiation?
Jiangnan aimed carefully and swung again. The crystal egg flew once more.
It smashed with perfect precision into a mountain cave. One shot, straight in the hole.
Birdie~
Inside the cave, Ye Xingxuan’s last trace of spiritual energy ran out. She could no longer maintain the crystal egg.
She could not even sustain her beast form.
The eggshell dissolved into specks of spiritual light. The starlight scales on her body vanished, and she returned to human shape.
Ye Xingxuan slumped in the cave, rubbing her head, full of frustration.
Jiangnan teleported to the cave entrance, looked inside, and froze.
His eyes widened.
This… she… I… heavens!
Hiss.
Jiangnan felt his heart race, as if it would leap out of his throat.
Blood rushed to his head, and two streams of nosebleed trickled down uncontrollably.
Ye Xingxuan saw him stiffen at the entrance and suddenly felt a chill all over.
She looked down.
“Eeeek!!!”
A high-pitched scream echoed through the cave.
Jiangnan wiped the blood from his face, quickly turned away and closed his eyes.
“Sorry about that. I only wanted to give you extra attention. I didn’t see anything. Honestly, I’m wearing a welding mask.”
Ye Xingxuan: !!!
“Pah. You didn’t see anything, yet you’re having a nosebleed?”
[Resentment value from Ye Xingxuan +1000]
Jiangnan sweated profusely. “Well… it’s because you’re all so weak. I’m worried. It’s internal heat. Really, I’ve been worrying myself sick.”
He prepared to teleport away. The girl needed her dignity. Best to leave first.
Ye Xingxuan stamped her foot in panic. “Don’t go. Clothes. Give me some clothes. How am I supposed to leave like this?”
Her spiritual energy was gone, and her own clothes had been shredded by her dragon feathers earlier.
Only then did Jiangnan realise. He straightened his expression. “I still recommend my Hulk-brand shorts and vest.”
“That way, this won’t happen again next time, even in full beast form.”
[Resentment value from Ye Xingxuan +1000]
“You’re still advertising at a time like this?”
“I’ll buy them. Fine, I’ll buy them.”
Jiangnan: (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
“Another set sold. Choke on that.”
He handed her a Hulk-brand shorts and vest set.
Relieved, Ye Xingxuan quickly put them on. They fitted perfectly, hugging her body.
She was going mad. How did he guess her size just by looking?
And he claimed he couldn’t see?
Jiangnan then produced shoes, socks, leggings, a sweater, a down jacket and a full set of women’s clothing, dressing her properly from head to toe.
Ye Xingxuan stared in astonishment. Why did his dimensional space contain so many women’s clothes?
And the fashion sense was excellent.
Dressed in the outfit Jiangnan gave her, Ye Xingxuan felt she looked even cuter than before.
Jiangnan cleared his throat. “Can I go now?”
Ye Xingxuan: (๐≖‸≖)
[Resentment value from Ye Xingxuan +555]
“Go, go. Hurry up and bully someone else. No more special attention for me, understood?”
Jiangnan nodded eagerly and shot out of the cave like the wind.
The live-stream chat completely exploded.
“Hiss. Look. South God is bleeding. His face is covered in blood.”
“His hands too.”
“Heavens. He’s really bleeding. Is Ye Xingxuan that strong? What kind of fierce battle happened in that cave?”
“Worthy of Dao Tian’s granddaughter. So many students couldn’t touch Jiangnan, yet Ye Xingxuan made South God bleed.”
Xing Da was ecstatic. Finally, someone had done it.
Kyoto Spiritual University’s reputation was saved.
“Quick. Send the announcement. The students need encouragement right now. Tell everyone to learn from Ye Xingxuan.”
Because it happened inside the cave, the sky-eye system could not capture it. No one saw what actually took place.
No one knew how Ye Xingxuan had made Jiangnan bleed.
The staff promptly issued a notice. Every trainee’s communication bracelet received the message.
“Ye Xingxuan has successfully injured Jiangnan. Jiangnan is bleeding. Ye Xingxuan is rewarded with one top-tier mandarin duck hotpot voucher. All other trainees, continue the effort. Learn from Ye Xingxuan.”
The announcement went out, and every trainee stared in shock.
“Hiss. Ye Xingxuan is that powerful? How on earth did she do it?”
“She actually succeeded. Big Sister Xingxuan really is something.”
“No way. I need to ask her how she did it. Maybe we can pull it off too.”
Even Ye Xingxuan herself, seeing the notice on her bracelet, was stunned.
This… counted?
It was just a nosebleed.
The blood on Jiangnan’s face and hands was from his own nose.
Had they misunderstood something?
But then she thought again. It was true.
If Jiangnan had not seen her, he would not have bled.
In the end, it was still her doing.
She had felt thoroughly cheated, but now she felt she had come out slightly ahead.
Quite nice, actually.
