They were classmates, and Jiangnan had never intended to go too far!

But Li Xiang had repeatedly come looking for trouble!

Jiangnan felt it was time to teach him a lesson!

At noon in the cafeteria, Jiangnan had just walked in when he saw a burly man stand up and call out:

"Brother Nan! Over here!"

His booming voice instantly drew everyone's attention!

"Holy crap! Did I hear that right? Wu Liang, the top dog, called Jiangnan Brother Nan?"

"You don't know? He went to Class One this morning and acknowledged Jiangnan as his boss on the spot!"

"No way, did you see Weibo? That blue-and-white outfit Wu Liang wore this morning... eugh~ And now he's gotten so close to Jiangnan!"

"Jiangnan may be a bit trashy, but he is pretty handsome. The two of them couldn't possibly be..."

They exchanged glances, all staring at one another in disbelief!

The fujoshis nearby had stars in their eyes as they whispered among themselves.

"Which one do you think is the top? And which one's the bottom?"

"Didn't you see Weibo? Wasn't the f** Wu Liang wrote after his name obvious enough?"

"Who would've thought? Jiangnan looks so sunny and handsome, yet he's the top!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! For his final exam grades, Jiangnan really stopped at nothing—he even sold his soul..."

As he walked over, listening to the whispers, Jiangnan's face turned completely black!

Why didn't any of them study properly instead of thinking up this kind of crap every day?

Sold his soul, my ass!

If souls could be sold for money, Jiangnan would've sold his long ago!

With a sour expression, Jiangnan arrived in front of Wu Liang. The guy had even thoughtfully gotten his meal for him!

"What's wrong, Brother Nan? Did someone mess with you? If it's inconvenient for you to make a move, tell your little brother! I'll teach him how to behave!"

Jiangnan looked troubled, but when he saw the "Winnie the Pooh" secretly peeking at him nearby, his mood gradually improved.

"Big Guy, are you good at studying?"

Wu Liang froze, then said smugly, "Every exam, I use my strength to tell everyone exactly how many students there are in our grade!"

Jiangnan nearly face-planted into his food tray after hearing that!

So he was last from the bottom every single time?

Jiangnan said with a dark face, "This final exam, get into third place in the academic subjects! Got it?"

Wu Liang patted his chest. "Third from the bottom? No problem!"

Jiangnan: "..."

From the top, damn it! Third from the top!

Wu Liang's eyes widened. "Brother Nan! Have you lost your mind? Even if you stuffed the books straight into my head, I still couldn't place third!"

Jiangnan rolled his eyes. "Fine, your whole body is muscle—but is your head full of muscle too?"

"You have to make the top three! Otherwise, don't hang around with me anymore!"

Wu Liang looked aggrieved. "Why?"

Jiangnan said, "Have you ever considered your future? Are you just going to keep drifting along like this, then inherit the family business and become some local bully?"

"Is this as far as your life goes?"

"The world is so vast and wonderful! I want to climb high and take a look—the higher, the better. The question is, can you keep up?"

Wu Liang fell silent after hearing that. He knew Jiangnan genuinely wanted what was best for him.

Jiangnan said in a muffled voice, "Make the top three in the grade, and I'll take you to Songjiang Spiritual Martial Arts!"

Wu Liang froze, finally understanding what Jiangnan meant.

He also understood just how profound Jiangnan's words—Follow me—really were!

Bang!

Wu Liang's face flushed red as he slammed his palm onto the table.

"Fuck! I'm in!"

The sudden bang plunged the entire cafeteria into silence.

Jiangnan looked at his food tray, which had been shaken hard enough to spill...

Brother!

Did you have to get this fired up?

I hadn't even taken a bite yet!

Tang Qianya, who had been startled beside them, said timidly, "I can help Brother Wu with his studies."

Wu Liang looked deeply moved. "This time, I'm counting on you!"

"If it really comes down to it, I'll go find them one by one! Whoever scores higher than me—I'll hammer them!"

Jiangnan: "..."

Brother, with your last-place strength, are you planning to hammer the entire grade one by one?

That was quite a workload!

After eating, Wu Liang entered full-on study mode!

He glared so hard at the books as if he wanted to glare them to death...

Jiangnan looked pleased.

There was a reason he had chosen Wu Liang!

First, this guy could really take a beating. He was naturally gifted in that regard.

On top of that, he was honest, decent, and not full of schemes.

Jiangnan could tell from fighting Wu Liang just how strong his willpower was!

No matter how many times he was knocked down, he would always try to get back up. That was truly valuable...

And the real reason Jiangnan had chosen him was what he'd said: "As long as I, Wu Liang, am still standing, I'll never let you get hurt!"

Back in class, during the lunch break, the school began broadcasting the team rosters!

A gentle female voice rang out from the speakers.

Sea of Stars Team! Members: Wang Mengfan, Li Jinlong, Liu Yang, Xu Yang.

Only I Am Supreme Team! Members: ...

Not Mad, Not Alive Team! Members: ...

Prosperous, Democratic, Friendly, Harmonious Team! Members: ...

Jiangcheng Folk Dance Team! Members: ...

One Giao Me Li Giao! Giao! Team...

The young lady making the announcements had already started complaining, and even her speech became a little halting...

These were way too hard to read, weren't they? Some even came with pinyin?

She couldn't help grumbling inwardly. What kind of bizarre team names were these?

Teachers: ...

Principal: ???

Looking at the long list below, the young lady's head throbbed. At last, she spotted a somewhat normal team name.

Strive for First Place Team! Members: Li Xiang, Li Muyan, Liu Quanwu, Ling Feng.

The moment this team was announced, discussions erupted.

"That's definitely a seeded team! Two Great Archmages! One close-combat fighter and one Shield Warrior! Their damage output is off the charts!"

"Li Xiang is Bronze Three Stars! Li Muyan will definitely reach Bronze before the final exams too! Two Bronze Archmages? Tsk, tsk!"

"Ling Feng is incredibly fast! Liu Quanwu's Beastified Rhinoceros is a Heavy Armor Tank too! They're unbeatable!"

"First place is in the bag!"

Li Xiang, seated near the front of the classroom, turned around and shot Jiangnan a provocative look!

Li Muyan sneered as well. This time, during the final exams, she had to win back her honor!

After announcing two more teams, the young lady's voice suddenly stuttered!

Then, filled with resentment, she read out:

"Jiangnan Says It's All Team! Members: Jiangnan! Wu Liang! Tang Qianya!"

[Resentment Points from Zhang Hong +999!]

"Pfft... What did Jiangnan even say for it all to be right?"

"Who cares what he said? It's right anyway! Hahaha!"

"That team name is so shameless!"

"There's no shameless, only shameless-er!"

Wu Liang sat in the classroom and gave a thumbs-up. "Brother Nan is Brother Nan! So cultured!"

Tang Qianya covered her face beside him!

No! This was way too embarrassing!

Liu Quanwu sneered. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. One Wu Liang carrying two deadweights? Impressive, impressive!"

"I was wondering why there were only three people. If a fourth Wu Liang showed up, then..."

Clang!

Before Liu Quanwu could finish, Jiang Nan spoke up. "If you dare say one more word, believe it or not, I'll take you out right now?"

As he spoke, Jiang Nan grabbed his chair and stood up, still wearing a brilliant smile.

He even reached into Other Dimension Space and pulled out a brick!

The classmates were all stunned! Jiang Nan, who was usually so quiet and meek, was actually fighting back?

Liu Quanwu's expression turned incomparably ugly!

Just then, the teacher walked in.

"Jiang Nan, what are you doing with a brick?"

"Ah... I didn't have a ruler for drawing lines, so I grabbed a brick to use!"

[Resentment Points from the teacher +666!]
