Chapter 51: Carried? (50 Urges to Add More Updates!)
The massive off-road vehicle was heavily modified!
Its off-road capability was simply MAX!
Even through the forest, it wasn't slow!
Meanwhile, the teams that had set out earlier were going all out, sprinting like crazy!
All they wanted was to reach the spirit beast gathering points as fast as possible and grab a good spot!
So they glared at each other, no one giving an inch!
Those with abilities that enhanced physical fitness were fine!
But those elemental archmages were exhausted like turtles!
Sweating buckets, tongues hanging out like dead dogs!
Li Xiang's team had set out early!
So they were at the very front of the group. Li Xiang was drenched in sweat and drinking water!
Faintly, he seemed to hear the roar of an engine!
Many others noticed it too and couldn't help looking confused.
This was the Lingxu world—how could there be the sound of a car?
Hmm!
They must have misheard; it was probably some spirit beast's roar!
But the engine sound grew louder and louder!
The students couldn't help turning around to look.
They saw a black off-road vehicle pulling over ten people as it tore wildly across the terrain!
Jiangnan was holding a loudspeaker:
“Coming through! Make way, make way! Wouldn't want to hit anyone!”
The teams: ???
What the fuck?
What was going on?
Where the hell did that car come from!
Li Xiang and Li Muyan were stunned!
Holy shit! Wasn't that Jiangnan!
While they were spacing out,
The off-road vehicle floored it and zoomed past.
Splashing mud water drenched Li Xiang and his three teammates!
They instantly became mud men!
A smell of dirt filled their mouths!
The only way to tell male from female was the two lumps on their chests!
“Damn it! Jiangnan!!!”
Li Xiang flew into a rage, roaring at the top of his lungs!
But the car was already out of sight!
[Resentment from Li Xiang +1000!]
[Resentment from Li Muyan +1000!]
[Resentment from...]
The other teams that had been running for their lives were dumbfounded!
What kind of godlike team was this?
Where did they get that car!
Several people immediately reported cheating!
But they got no response!
“Who are they? Where did they get a car? That's insane!”
“That's Jiangnan from Jiangcheng No.1 High School! He must have stored the car in his alternate dimension!”
“This... this move is way too slick!”
“Space-type! So enviable!”
“How are we supposed to play against this? What's their team called?”
“Everything Jiangnan Says Is Right!”
“No! What do you mean everything is right? I'm asking what their team name is!”
“'Everything Jiangnan Says Is Right'—the team!”
“...”
All along the way, the resentment list refreshed like crazy!
Jiangnan couldn't stop grinning!
If only he could have competitions and exams every day—wouldn't he be having a blast?
How could he make himself happy?
When others were unhappy, he was happy!
It wasn't that Jiangnan was a jerk!
It was the system!
His system was a jerk—what did that have to do with Jiangnan?
——
The people in the car gradually got off one by one!
Jiangnan and his group also stopped after a while!
Because they had run into spirit beasts too!
A group of red-faced baboons!
Red-faced baboon:
A pack spirit beast! Mostly at the Bronze rank!
Highly aggressive, with strong physical abilities!
The baboon leader possessed a spiritual technique: Fearful Roar!
It could briefly stun enemies, causing dizziness and stiffness!
The group Jiangnan encountered had about seven or eight individuals!
Last night, Jiangnan had studied Zheng Wei's notes thoroughly!
So the moment he saw those red-faced baboons, the information popped into his mind!
Jiangnan became interested; this was his first time seeing spirit beasts!
Unlike regular baboons,
Red-faced baboons were extremely tall—even squatting on the ground, they were about a meter and a half high!
Under their golden fur were bulging, developed muscles!
Their red monkey faces were fierce and unusual!
Now, because of the off-road vehicle's engine noise, the baboons had noticed Jiangnan's group!
They glared with wary eyes!
“What do you say? Want to take a shot?” Jiangnan said casually.
Wu Liang nodded: “I'll follow your lead!”
Jiangnan grinned: “I'll pull aggro! You tank the damage! Protect Little Tangtang! Leave the rest to me!”
Tang Qianya couldn't help feeling nervous: “Then... what should I do?”
Jiangnan: “Stay behind the big guy! Since your ability is wood-type, there's a lot of vegetation here. Just control their movements!”
Tang Qianya nodded like a chick pecking rice: “Okay!”
The three of them got out of the car!
Wu Liang equipped his iron shield and glaive, activated beast transformation, and became a two-meter-tall half-bear humanoid!
Tang Qianya's hands glowed green, looking a bit nervous!
Jiangnan drew his Tang sword and grinned: “Ready?”
Wu Liang slammed his iron shield: “Let's wreck them!”
In a flash, Jiangnan teleported, instantly appearing in the middle of the baboon group a hundred meters away!
The move was so sudden that the baboons didn't even react!
His Tang sword cut through the air, drawing a stunning arc!
With a swift stroke, blood splattered!
The head of the man-sized red-faced baboon was cleanly severed!
Jiangnan casually picked it up, grinning!
Tang Qianya got goosebumps all over!
A Bronze-rank red-faced baboon couldn't even withstand one slash from Jiangnan?
This... this was way too clean and efficient!
The pungent smell of blood instantly enraged the baboon pack. They grabbed nearby rocks and branches and hurled them at Jiangnan!
The baboon leader, nearly two meters tall and clearly larger than the others, opened its mouth and let out a furious roar!
The sound was thunderous!
That was Fearful Roar!
Jiangnan's heart felt like it had been punched hard, leaving him disoriented for a moment!
Seizing the opportunity, the red-faced baboon swung a punch at him!
Tang Qianya's hands glowed green, controlling the surrounding vines to rapidly entangle the baboon leader!
But within three breaths, the leader had broken free!
By then, Jiangnan had snapped out of it and teleported back!
He was still holding the baboon head!
“Big guy, tank! Kill the leader first!”
Fearful Roar was too troublesome—a moment of distraction in battle could be fatal!
Jiangnan had learned his lesson and decided to take out the leader first!
The frenzied baboon pack charged over in a few steps, smashing their clubs and rocks against the iron shield!
Wu Liang's face flushed red as he let out a roaring shout!
He swung his glaive wildly, smashing one baboon flying!
Jiangnan teleported again, appearing midair!
His Tang sword stabbed straight into the back of the head of the baboon that had been sent flying!
By the time it hit the ground, it was dead!
The baboon leader's eyes turned bloodshot, and it let out another Fearful Roar!
All three of them froze for a moment!
It slapped down, sending Wu Liang stumbling back three steps!
But then Wu Liang charged forward with his shield!
“Bang!” The baboon leader staggered and fell backward!
Jiangnan seized the moment, teleporting onto the leader's shoulder!
His Tang sword stabbed deep into its neck, burying the blade to the hilt!
But another baboon swung a fist at Jiangnan's head!
Without time to pull out his sword, Jiangnan let go, caught the baboon's fist, and tossed it over his shoulder to Wu Liang!
Wu Liang's glaive split it in two!
The baboon leader was dead. The remaining four small red-faced baboons were no threat. Within thirty seconds, they were all taken down!
Lying all over the ground were six baboon corpses.
Tang Qianya's heart pounded wildly!
So... so this was what they called getting carried?
Had a whole minute even passed?
Was it too fast?
