Chapter 26: Southern God is a Good Man
Jiangnan let out a sly chuckle from behind the screen!
It was enough to send chills down anyone's spine!
Looking at Zhong Yingxue's reply, even though he had been found out, a warm current still flowed through his heart!
It felt good to be remembered!
But Xuexue's naturally dazed look was just too cute!
He had originally wanted to mess around in the class group chat a bit more!
But his circle of friends had been forcibly force-fed a wave of poison chicken soup by Jiangnan, so they really couldn't get riled up anymore.
Watching the list of resentment values refresh intermittently, Jiangnan slowly drifted off to sleep.
But the other residents weren't so lucky!
Wangcai's happy dog life continued...
When night fell, it was a passionate battle, with howling and wailing!
This caused countless villagers to lie in bed cursing their mothers in the middle of the night.
Since they couldn't sleep anyway, they might as well make babies...

Bathed in warm sunlight, the body-warming Wu Liang suddenly woke up!
He had already returned to human form, but his face was swollen and bruised!
There wasn't a single piece of material possession on his entire body!
To be completely destitute, with nothing but the clothes on his back—this must be what it meant!
Indeed!
The moment he opened his eyes, Wu Liang was blinded by the flash of a camera.
A crowd had gathered at the entrance of the alley.
"Oh my~ Young people these days sure are bold!"
"This young man has quite the assets!"
Some auntie: "Slurp~ Hehe!"
"Couldn't he have been tricked into something? Tsk tsk tsk!"
The aunties revealed wolfish glances!
A young girl shyly covered her eyes, but couldn't help peeking through her fingers.
Wu Liang's mind buzzed...
He slowly began to recall what had happened yesterday!
He hurriedly looked around, only to find that Guangtouqiang and Daobalian had long since vanished!
"Damn it!"
Now he didn't even have a single piece of clothing!
He couldn't bear the stares of the uncles, aunties, and young girls anymore!
He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
It was then that he suddenly noticed a pair of shorts covering his chest!
"This... did Southern God leave this for me?"
"Returning good for evil! What a good man!"
A hint of gratitude actually arose in Wu Liang's heart!
Guangtouqiang and Daobalian had run off...
He had nothing left on him, but in the end, Southern God had left him a pair of shorts!
Although...
These shorts were triangle-shaped with Pikachu on them!
But at least they were shorts!
Wu Liang put on the shorts with a heart full of gratitude!
Hmm?
They were actually a bit comfortable!
That was a feeling that boxer briefs had never given him!
And it was on this day!
Wu Liang converted from a boxer briefs faction to a briefs faction!
The onlookers' gazes toward Wu Liang suddenly turned terrified!
They quickly cleared a path for him.
Cell phone flashlights went off in frenzied ten-shot bursts, turning the narrow alley into a star-studded runway.
Wu Liang walked out of the alley with such audacity!
Recalling the battle from yesterday, Wu Liang's expression turned serious!
He never would have thought that Jiangnan, who was called a waste, could be this strong!
That spear technique! The hand-to-hand combat! And the flying brick!
Just thinking about it made Wu Liang's blood boil!
Indeed, being low-key was the most awesome kind of showing off!
What he wanted to do most now was to find Jiangnan!

In the morning, Jiangnan arrived at the classroom.
The classroom fell into its usual dead silence for a moment—last night's poison chicken soup had really choked them up.
So much so that as soon as Jiangnan entered the classroom, the list of resentment values began to refresh...
Li Xiang still couldn't forget that double bang, and as for Li Muyan? She'd been dumped...
Hmm...
During morning self-study, Liu Quanwu was lying on his desk playing with his phone. He saw something and let out a snicker.
Not long after, Jiangnan's phone vibrated.
He opened it and saw that Liu Quanwu had shared a Weibo post in the class group.
"Isn't this Wu Liang from Class 2? Hahahaha!"
"I'm laughing my ass off! Is this guy making his debut publicly?"
"And Pikachu? Seriously? How cute can you get? Hahahaha!"
"Wu Liang's body is absolutely killer! Oh my god! Are those muscles for real? I'm in love..."
"You love him? But he doesn't love you! Hahaha!"
Jiangnan clicked on it curiously, only to see something that burned his eyes!
The title:
Shocking! A freakishly muscular man appeared at the morning market on Pedestrian Street! Is it a distortion of human nature or a collapse of morality?
(Nine-grid image)
It was full of pictures of Wu Liang walking openly down the street in nothing but a pair of shorts! He strode like a dragon and tiger, his face lost in thought...
The comments below had also exploded.
"I admire this brother's courage! Thumbs up for Pikachu!"
"I saw him at a roadside stall eating breakfast this morning. Sorry, but I've already spit out my tofu pudding! Compensate me for my breakfast money!"
Fencing Male Group: "Brother, the big family welcomes you!"
Southern God: "Jiangnan night market shorts are cheap now, ten bucks for two, with the same style!"
...
Jiangnan shakily exited Weibo, covering his face with his hand!
Last night, he had really just grabbed a pair of shorts and given them to him...
He never imagined!
It would be this explosive!
Wu Liang actually wore them...
So he casually placed an ad. Well, no loss this time...

The teacher clapped the blackboard and said, "The end-of-term exam is coming!"
"As a member of the Spirit Martial class, the practical test will be held at the Tianchi Lingxu of Changbai Mountain!"
"I hope everyone will form teams in advance and make thorough preparations!"
"Any Spirit Beads obtained in the Lingxu will belong to you! It would be even better if you can find Spirit Beads containing Spiritual Arts!"
"The top ten in the grade will be rewarded with Star Beads containing Spiritual Arts. And to prepare for the college entrance exam, this time the duration for entering the Lingxu will be extended from the previous seven days to half a month. Everyone, be mentally prepared!"
"Team formation is not limited to members of this class. The best setup is: one tank! One mage! One melee! One controller!"
Instantly, the classroom buzzed with discussion.
"Tsk tsk tsk! The Tianchi Lingxu of Changbai Mountain! A place that makes people both love and hate it!"
"Our school is just no good. Over at Songjiang Spirit Martial, they started using the team model from their first year. We're just free range!"
"Don't even mention that. Let's think about team formation!"
"Hehe, I'll stick with my old teammates from last year. We have chemistry!"
Jiangnan listened in silence, but his mind was on the matter of Spiritual Arts.
Low-level Spirit Beasts in the Lingxu rarely had Spiritual Arts!
Even if they did, it was extremely hard to find one that matched one's own attribute!
A Spirit Warrior can only absorb Spiritual Arts corresponding to their own ability attribute.
Each time they level up, they can absorb one Spiritual Art.
For example, Jiangnan, at Black Iron Rank.
He could only absorb one Spiritual Art, and it had to be of the Space attribute!
Although China was vast and rich in resources, with countless Lingxus,
Space-type Spirit Beasts were too few, and the Association strictly controlled them!
Even if there were any, Jiangnan couldn't get his hands on one.
The only Teleportation he had was innate.
There were also geniuses who could comprehend their own ability techniques.
But Jiangnan couldn't do that...
Still, he wasn't worried. Among his peers, very few had absorbed Spiritual Arts.
After all, Jiangcheng No.1 High School wasn't exactly a proper school for training Spirit Warriors.
But Jiangnan didn't know whether this time, the reward for the top ten in the grade—Spirit Beads containing Spiritual Arts—would net him one of the Space attribute.
