The classroom buzzed with noise.
Some were busy contacting old teammates, while others discussed the spirit beasts in the Heavenly Lake and Spirit Ruins.
Only Jiang Nan sat quietly by the window.
"Why isn't South God looking for teammates?"
Li Xiang sneered, "He's that strong? Dual-element awakening! Does he need teammates?"
Liu Quanwu chuckled, "Isn't that right? Our South God is the one who punched the testing machine into explosion!"
"Could he really think the spirit beasts in the Spirit Ruins would just stand there foolishly like the testing machine for him to hit? Haha!"
"Our South God has never even been to the Spirit Ruins! No fear! He has Teleportation! When it comes to escaping, he's top-notch! Staying alive is no problem!"
"Haha! Forget killing spirit beasts! South God probably hasn't even killed a chicken, right?"
"A loser is always a loser! Dual-element awakening? Heh... what a joke!"
"With his conditions, what idiot would team up with him? He's just dead weight!"
Listening to the stream of cold remarks.
Jiang Nan stretched lazily.
He wondered if he should earn some more Resentment Points.
The team list had to be submitted this afternoon.
Jiang Nan wasn't planning on finding teammates!
Teleportation, Great Strength, and several Skill Points!
Jiang Nan didn't believe he couldn't make it through on his own!
From the very beginning, he had aimed for first place in the academic year!
His classmates were all waiting to see Jiang Nan make a fool of himself.
Just then, the classroom door was kicked open!
Wu Liang, dressed in a school uniform, barged in. His bruised and swollen face stunned everyone.
"Where's Jiang Nan? Where is he?"
His eyes scanned the room, spotted Jiang Nan sitting by the window, and he broke into a wide grin...
This smile sent a shiver down the spines of the students in the classroom.
"Holy crap! South God is about to get beaten up!"
"How did he provoke Wu Liang, that menace?"
"Is he that strong?"
"His dad is the biggest used car dealer in the north, you know... dealing in used cars, you get it!"
"Even the people on the streets of Jiangcheng call Wu Liang 'Young Master Wu'!"
Clearly, a good show was about to unfold. Wu Liang's aggressive demeanor meant there was no escape!
Li Xiang and Liu Quanwu couldn't help but show gloating smiles!
As for helping out?
Don't be ridiculous! It was already considerate enough that they weren't joining in the beating!
Wu Liang strode up to Jiang Nan and said with a solemn expression, "South God! Be my big brother! I want to learn skills from you!"
The moment he said that, Li Xiang and the others' jaws dropped!
Learn skills? Recognize him as a big brother?
Wasn't he here to beat up Jiang Nan?
So he was here to become a disciple?
Had his head been filled with water!
What skills could Jiang Nan possibly have!
Jiang Nan curled his lips, "You're no good bird either!"
Li Muyan was stunned, as if she had never known Jiang Nan before!
Talking so tough to someone like Wu Liang, who had a fearsome reputation? Was he looking for death?
Wu Liang shook his head, "I've investigated the matter. The barbecue stall incident was the fault of Baldy and his gang. I've already sent people to teach them a lesson!"
"Incidents like this will absolutely not happen again!"
"I was an idiot last night! Big brother was right to hit me! I admit it!"
Liu Quanwu was dumbfounded! All the students were stunned!
Their faces were filled with disbelief!
What was going on? Did the two of them have a fight last night?
Was Wu Liang's miserable morning all Jiang Nan's doing?
Besides having more strength and being able to Teleportation, what else could he do?
Wu Liang's strength was famous throughout the school, he was incredibly strong!
And now Wu Liang was bruised and swollen, while Jiang Nan seemed completely fine?
But the scene before them told them!
Everything was really happening!
Jiang Nan smiled brilliantly, "You're very durable! Heavenly Lake, Spirit Ruins, can you help me tank damage?"
Wu Liang's eyes lit up!
He patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me! As long as I, Wu Liang, am still standing, I will absolutely not let you get hurt!"
Jiang Nan was silent for a moment...
Then he smiled and patted Wu Liang's shoulder, "Follow me! We're short a shield in the team!"
Wu Liang was a little confused.
What team? Wasn't Jiang Nan alone?
Wu Liang didn't know.
The team Jiang Nan was talking about wasn't at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!
It was at Songjiang Spirit Martial!
Li Xiang, standing beside them, couldn't help but interject, "Wu Liang, you should think carefully! The Spirit Ruins are very dangerous! Bringing a dead weight like Jiang Nan, achieving good results will be as difficult as climbing to heaven!"
How could Li Xiang watch Jiang Nan join a strong team? The stragglers should act like stragglers!
Wu Liang suddenly turned around.
"Riiip!"
His upper school uniform was suddenly torn apart by his iron-like muscles. His eyes turned scarlet, and his fangs grew wildly!
He grabbed Li Xiang by the collar!
"Damn it! Watch your mouth! How dare you speak to my big brother like that?"
Li Xiang was choked so hard he couldn't breathe. Facing Wu Liang's scarlet eyes, cold sweat immediately broke out...
"I... I was just giving some advice!"
Wu Liang: "Do you f***ing care about my business?"
Just as he was about to make a move, Jiang Nan kicked Wu Liang's butt: "Alright, alright! You really love ripping your clothes! Do school uniforms grow on trees?"
Wu Liang's attacks cost him clothes?
The clothes-ripping maniac?
Wu Liang threw Li Xiang out, smashing him onto the teacher's desk. Chalk fell all over the floor...
"I'll listen to you!"
Li Xiang sat on the ground, his face filled with malice, gritting his teeth in hatred!
But facing Wu Liang, he really couldn't stand his ground!
The classmates swallowed. How did Wu Liang end up recognizing that straggler Jiang Nan as his big brother?
Just now, Jiang Nan kicked him, but Wu Liang wasn't angry at all. Instead, he seemed completely obedient.
Everyone looked at Jiang Nan with different eyes.
Just then, a long-haired beauty in a miniskirt secretly peeked through the classroom door.
Seeing Wu Liang there, she said with a happy face, "Brother Wu? Want to team up with me?"
"My teammates from last year don't want me anymore..."
Wu Liang looked at Jiang Nan: "My front-row seatmate! Tang Qianya, Black Iron Nine Stars wood-element ability, what do you think..."
Jiang Nan was stunned: "Winnie the Pooh?"
Wasn't this the Young Lady he met in the corridor that day?
Tang Qianya looked at Wu Liang and asked Jiang Nan for his opinion, also looking surprised.
Why was Wu Liang asking Jiang Nan?
As soon as she heard Jiang Nan speak, Tang Qianya's face flushed red, and she angrily said, "I'm not wearing Winnie the Pooh today!"
Jiang Nan: "I don't believe you!"
Tang Qianya: "It's really not Winnie the Pooh! If you don't believe me... if you don't believe me, you..."
She stomped her feet anxiously. She couldn't let him see even if she didn't believe him!
[Resentment Points +663 from Tang Qianya!]
Jiang Nan was amused. This girl was quite cute!
"Alright! No problem!"
Wu Liang smiled and nodded, bending down to pick up the school uniform that had burst open, and swaggered out of the classroom.
But Jiang Nan's body stiffened slightly!
Just now, when Wu Liang bent over, he clearly saw a dazzling blue and white on his lower back!
Brother!
Are you serious?
You're still wearing it!
Did you awaken some strange attributes?
Jiang Nan shivered uncontrollably!
He regretted his decision just now...
Li Xiang stood up with a dark expression and walked up to Jiang Nan, saying coldly, "Once you enter the Heavenly Lake Spirit Ruins, you'll know how formidable I am!"
Jiang Nan shrugged, "I really don't know where you get your sense of superiority from!"
"Heavenly Lake Spirit Ruins... I'm looking forward to it!"
