Pearl Milk Tea with Added Sugar

Jiang Nan was quite happy for Wu Liang!

It seemed Wu Liang hadn't been keeping everything under control for nothing!

Of course, he had no idea exactly how Wu Liang was keeping things under control!

Looking at the results on the screen, Jiang Nan snapped a photo and sent it to Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao!

He added:

"Hurry up and praise me! (?>?<?)"

Zhong Yingxue: Little brother is amazing! I'm giving you ninety-nine little hearts! I left one out because I'm afraid you'll get too cocky!"

South God: Received!

Then Xia Yao actually sent over a short video?

Jiang Nan opened it!

Xia Yao was lying facedown on her desk, flashing the screen a mischievous smile!

Then she puckered her lips and kissed the camera! (^３^)

Mwah! Mua!

Jiang Nan was so startled that he hurriedly closed the video!

Oh no!

That was the feeling of his heart skipping a beat!

Wolf Slayer: First place in the Heavenly Lake Spirit Ruins! There'll be rewards too!

South God: I don't want any other rewards. Once I take first place, just change your username!

Wolf Slayer: ??? I'll strangle you!

[Resentment Points from Xia Yao +888!]

Hehehe?

Messing with her like this was so fun!

Li Xiang took a deep breath and steadied his emotions!

And there was still the Heavenly Lake Spirit Ruins! Just wait!

Li Muyan had now successfully broken through to Bronze One-Star!

His Strive for First Place Team was absolutely stacked!

Meanwhile, Wu Liang had Jiang Nan and Tang Qianya, two deadweights! How could he compete?

Teacher: "All the results have been announced! Students, board the buses in order according to your seating assignments!"

"The coaches are already waiting outside!"

"This practical assessment isn't just for Jiangcheng No. 1 High School!"

"Yuwen No. 2 High School and Jiangbei High School will also be participating. All three schools will be taking part together!"

"I hope that while keeping yourselves safe, you'll also strive bravely for victory!"

"All right, get on the buses!"

Whether their academic grades were good or bad, every student was brimming with excitement!

They were just waiting to enter the Spirit Ruins and show off their skills!

The students grabbed their backpacks and rushed toward the buses!

Jiang Nan, on the other hand, was much more comfortable!

With headphones on and a small shoulder bag slung across him, he looked like he was heading out on a vacation!

The other students kept shooting him disdainful looks!

A rookie was still a rookie. Once he entered the Spirit Ruins, he would be in for a rude awakening!

Jiang Nan was sitting by the window on the bus, listening to music, when a gentle female voice suddenly sounded beside him!

"South God? What a coincidence!"

Jiang Nan smiled slightly. It was Tang Qianya!

Having such a beauty sitting beside him for the trip was pretty nice too!

The bus slowly pulled away!

As soon as she got on, the girl started snacking on dried fruit, occasionally handing Jiang Nan a piece as well.

Li Xiang looked utterly sour!

Look at him! A girl was sitting beside him, even feeding him!

Then look at the person next to him—he got on the bus and immediately started playing King's Pesticide, screaming curses at the game!

"Luban! Use your hands! Stop playing with your feet!"

"Brother, is that a tumor sitting on your neck? You're even more of a giveaway than a minion!"

It was damn real!

After the bus had been driving for over ten minutes and Tang Qianya had finished a bag of chips, she suddenly remembered something. Her little face went pale with shock, filling with regret!

"Oh no! I left my phone in my desk! I forgot to take it!"

Jiang Nan froze. "Is it important?"

Tang Qianya said, "My mom was worried about me. She told me to call home and let her know I was safe once I arrived! If I don't call, she'll definitely worry!"

"Use mine!"

Tang Qianya smiled bitterly. "I don't remember my mom's number. I can't even remember my own number..."

Jiang Nan: ???

What a silly girl!

So he raised his hand and said, "Driver, could you stop for a moment? My friend left her phone at school. We'll go back to get it and be right back!"

The driver barely acknowledged him. "Can't stop!"

The teacher frowned. "A phone? Is it urgent?"

Before Tang Qianya could say anything.

Li Xiang spoke up. "Why didn't you think of that earlier? Stop the bus? Make everyone on the bus wait for you alone?"

Someone immediately echoed him. "Exactly! We want to get there early too!"

"How annoying!"

"There's no signal in the Spirit Ruins anyway! What do you need a phone for? Taking selfies?"

Seeing Jiang Nan's face gradually darken, Li Xiang sneered repeatedly!

Tang Qianya's eyes reddened as she bit down hard on her lower lip!

She gently tugged at Jiang Nan's sleeve and whispered, "South God, thank you! It's fine, forget it! It's all right. I was careless. I shouldn't have..."

Before Tang Qianya could finish, Jiang Nan patted her head and said lightly, "Wait for me!"

As he spoke, his body vanished from his seat in an instant!

Holy shit?

Where did he go?

Not only the students, but even the teacher and Tang Qianya were startled!

Then, through the bus window, they saw it!

Jiang Nan's figure instantly appeared by the roadside a hundred meters away!

He had only appeared for the blink of an eye before vanishing again!

In less than a few moments, he was completely out of sight!

What was he doing?

Holy shit!

You could use teleportation like that?

Wasn't the Space Element way too awesome?

Had he gone back to get Tang Qianya's phone?

Li Xiang snickered!

The bus was still moving, after all!

It would be strange if Jiang Nan could make it back!

So what if you wanted to show off?

Showing off would get you struck by lightning! It would be hilarious if he got left behind!

Then, three minutes later!

Jiang Nan abruptly reappeared in his seat!

It was as though he had never left at all!

He was holding two cups of milk tea and a phone!

"Here! Drink up! This one has sugar in it. You should like sweet drinks!"

Tang Qianya froze. Looking at the milk tea and phone on her little tray table, her eyes brimmed with tears.

"Mm! Sweet things are my favorite! Thank you, South God!"

The bus fell silent!

In that short time!

He had teleported back to school again and again, retrieved her phone!

And he'd even found time to buy two cups of milk tea?

Then teleported all the way back and caught up with the bus?

Impressive!

Too impressive, wasn't it?

The pinnacle of excellence!

Even the teacher froze for a moment before sternly saying, "Don't ever do something this dangerous again. There won't be a next time!"

Jiang Nan just drank his milk tea and listened to music.

He didn't answer.

If you wouldn't stop, Old Man would go back and get it himself!

It hadn't delayed you guys, had it?

Li Xiang ground his teeth in frustration, but he couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head and furiously play his game!

Only Li Muyan frowned deeply!

What level was Jiang Nan now, exactly?

Was he still Black Iron Seven Stars like before?

But how many times had he teleported back and forth? Could his spiritual power really hold up?

The only answer was that Jiang Nan's cultivation was far stronger than they had seen!

But how was that possible?

He'd leveled up after only a few days?

And wasn't his talent supposed to be the most useless E-class?

Li Muyan couldn't figure it out!

Yet she faintly had a bad feeling that becoming enemies with Jiang Nan might have been a mistake!

The bus drove for a full four hours before finally arriving at Changbai Mountain!

Changbai Mountain was still a tourist attraction, especially in summer, when it was packed with visitors!

However, Heavenly Lake was no longer open to the public!

And troops were stationed at the entrance! No one was allowed to enter at will!

Of course, Jiang Nan and the others weren't there to sightsee!

They took the cable car straight to the mountaintop!

At the entrance, they saw soldiers armed with live ammunition!

There were even fortresses, bunkers, and the like, with all entry and exit strictly controlled!

Standing atop the mountain, Jiang Nan looked out at a glance!

The waters of Heavenly Lake were like a vast mirror, utterly still. Mist rose from its surface, shrouding everything in haze.

Above Heavenly Lake hung a bizarre, kaleidoscopic gate like a shattered mirror, emanating intense Spatial Fluctuations!

This was the true entrance to the Heavenly Lake Spirit Ruins!

Jiang Nan's eyes were filled with anticipation!
