Chapter 69: Where's My Box?! (Extra Update!!!)
And the teacher actually didn't check!
They put it on the scale!
7 jin 6 liang!
The big screen at the hotel showing the rankings flashed wildly!
The other teams were:
Strive for First Team: Bronze-level Spirit Beads x4! Black Iron-level Spirit Beads x17!
Yi Giao Wo Li Giao Giao Team: Bronze-level Spirit Beads x3! Black Iron-level Spirit Beads x11!
Then came Jiangnan...
Jiangnan's Team: Spirit Beads 7 jin 6 liang!
Straight to the top of the rankings!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is this really not a vegetable market?
Jiangnan was probably the first person ever to calculate Spirit Bead scores by weight!
And talk about that team name, way too flashy!
Not a single team name from Jiangcheng No.1 High School was serious...
The Resentment Value was refreshing like crazy!
Jiangnan smiled brilliantly and immediately snapped a photo of the rankings!
He put away the Spirit Beads, ran back to Xia Yao's side, and said proudly, "One month of socks, it's settled!"
Xia Yao was so angry she ground her teeth!
Couldn't you just let me win for once?
Wouldn't second place still let me get into Songjiang Spirit Martial?
[Resentment Value from Xia Yao +1000!]
She couldn't help but glare at Jiangnan. "Hmph! Such a blockhead!"
Jiangnan: ???
He was totally confused!
How was he a blockhead?
Was Xia Yao, this silver-haired wild dog, actually expecting him to wash her socks for her?
Hmph!
As if!
Doesn't he have a reputation to uphold?
After some tallying, there was no surprise!
Jiangnan firmly secured first place with 7 jin 6 liang!
The school organized the students to head back.
Zhong Yingxue, knowing Jiangnan was safe, drove herself back to Jiangcheng!
She wanted to stay with him a bit longer, but Xia Yao couldn't wait any longer!
She was eager to go home and try the effects of the White Rabbit candy!
They agreed to have a meal together during the break and then parted ways...
On the bus, Jiangnan started fiddling with his phone!
The moment he connected to the internet, his phone went into a crazy vibration mode!
Jiangnan was stunned as he watched it vibrate for half an hour!
Opening Weibo, messages were 99+!
It was absolutely exploding!
Scrolling through the comments, everyone was worried about his safety. The little candle and prayer emojis were flooding the screen!
Jiangnan felt a warmth in his heart.
So he posted a Weibo update!
Nan Shen:
Posted from iPhone 11 Pro Max!
Strength and good looks really do go hand in hand!
No way around it!
Songjiang Spirit Martial! Here I come!

One image was the final ranking board!
The other was a group photo of the three of them in the Ling Xu!
In the photo, Jiangnan and the other two were striking poses, grinning like crazy!
Behind them, Li Xiang's team was angrily hunting spirit beasts, looking furious!
It made a stark contrast!
Just after posting, Jiangnan dozed off.
When he woke up, the comment section had already hit over ten thousand!
"Haha, I knew he was fine! Good people die young, but scoundrels live forever!"
"What the hell are these team names? Way too flashy!"
"Yeah, you're right! When you've got looks, everything you say is right!"
"7 jin 6 liang? Am I seeing things?"
"Other teams count by beads, Nan Shen's team counts by jin? 666!"
"Glad you're safe!"
Little Fish: "Are you coming to our school? I'll treat you to grilled fish! Excited.ing!"
Jiangnan cracked up!
He replied to Little Fish: "Braised carp in an iron pot? Grilled yourself over charcoal?"
[Resentment Value from Yu Xiaoqing +333!]
Nice~
The bus drove all the way back to the school. The students, exhausted from the day, came home and slept for a whole day!
The next day was the award ceremony!
Jiangnan, Wu Liang, and Tang Qianya stood on the award stage as a matter of course!
They were all a little excited!
Jiangnan was especially eager, rubbing his hands together!
Because the school would award Spirit Beads with Spiritual Arts!
They were uniformly distributed by the Spirit Martial Association, each corresponding to the individual's abilities!
A Space System Spirit Bead?
He had been looking forward to it for a long time!
What surprised Jiangnan was that Li Xiang's team had managed to snag second place!
Forever second?
That was pretty good!
But on the stage, Li Muyan stood far away from Li Xiang's team and remained silent the whole time!
He seemed to be in low spirits!
Not for any other reason, but because his neck still hurt. It hurt so much he couldn't sleep!
Just how hard had Jiangnan chopped the back of his neck?
Li Muyan was starting to suspect he had a fracture!
As if sensing Jiangnan's gaze, Li Muyan glared back fiercely!
Jiangnan glared back!
Oh? Still got some spunk?
Jiangnan raised his hand into a knife-hand shape, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. He provocatively winked at Li Muyan!
Li Muyan flinched and instinctively covered the back of his neck!
He shrank his neck and didn't dare look at Jiangnan anymore!
Only then did Jiangnan withdraw his hand with satisfaction.
On the other side, the teacher began distributing Spirit Beads!
Each person was given a small red box containing their Spirit Bead!
Tang Qianya received a Silver-rank Wood Attribute Spirit Bead! Spiritual Art: Vine Whip!
Wu Liang got a Silver-rank Spirit Bead! Spiritual Art: Berserk!
Both suited their abilities!
When it came to Jiangnan, the principal came up to shake his hand, smiling warmly.
"You're pretty good, young man! Outstanding performance! You're a pillar of the nation, blah blah blah..."
His mouth was like a machine gun, rattling on and on!
He shook Jiangnan's hand until it was sweaty!
Shaking it up and down!
Jiangnan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, his smile stiffening...
Stop shaking, dammit!
Stop talking!
It's been almost ten minutes already!
Just give me my little box already!
Finally, the principal finished!
Jiangnan quickly reached out his hand.
But the principal cleared his throat twice, turned around, and walked away...
"Alright! The award ceremony is officially over!"
"Come on, everyone! Smile! Photo time! This will hang in our hallway!"
Jiangnan: ???
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Did you forget something?
Did you leave the house without taking your meds?
You shook my hand and talked for over ten minutes!
Where's my little box?!
Where's my Spirit Bead and Spiritual Art?!
Jiangnan reached out his hand toward the principal again.
Then he even wiggled his fingers suggestively!
Wasn't that obvious enough?
The principal glanced at Jiangnan, then turned his head and said, "Okay! 1, 2, 3! Cheese!"
Jiangnan: !!!
Damn it!
You did that on purpose, didn't you?
Are you retaliating against me for blowing up the testing machine by not giving me my reward?!
Where's my box?!
The box I earned through life-and-death struggles?!
*Click!*
The shutter clicked!
That marked the official end of the final exam!
In the photo, everyone showed brilliant smiles!
They held their little red boxes!
Only Jiangnan looked bewildered, his hands stretched out!
The message was clear:
See that? First place!
In my hands?
Nothing at all!
