Chapter 1097: Give It a Rest! (Bonus Chapter)
A portion of the Pocket Rabbits were left under Chubby Orange's care, after all, the Tiger Hunting Army needed them to transport supplies!
Rabbits sleep with rabbits, rabbits give birth to rabbits, and before long, there would be an endless supply of bunnies!
As for the little rabbit bastard, it stuck close to Zhong Yingxue, successfully becoming Xuexue's spirit pet!
Xia Yao, seeing there were no more cute babies to dote on, snatched Xiao Jiuwo away and refused to let go!
That morning, Zi Yuan, Chubby Orange, Wang Dalei, and the others all came out to see them off!
Except for those who had to stay behind to guard the Western Frontier and suppress the No Man's Land, everyone else who had made significant contributions in this operation would follow Yang Jian back to Jingdu to be awarded honors!
First, because the Western Frontier had just been stabilized, this was needed to steady the overall situation within the country and declare a major victory!
Second, heroes should not remain nameless. Those soldiers who fought with their lives deserved to be rewarded, to receive honor!
On the transport plane heading to Jingdu, Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, Li Si, Zhang San, and the others were all seated!
They were preparing for takeoff!
Zi Yuan and Chubby Orange kept waving!
٩(థ﹏థ*) "Come back and visit often~"
(｡Ф⌂Ф)ฅ "Add me on Feixin, we'll chat later!"
Without realizing it, everyone's eyes had become red-rimmed. Even the green ivy forest in the distance was waving at Jiangnan.
Jiangnan rubbed his eyes.
(｡•́﹏ก̀｡) "Mm-hmm, I will! Take good care of my big boy, aw!"
When Chubby Orange heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then squatted on the ground and let out a loud "waaa," his tears splashing on the ground like a water gun!
(๑´༎ຶ口༎ຶ) "Wah-"
Jiangnan: ???
Isn't...isn't crying this hard a bit much?
I didn't know Chubby Orange was usually so fierce but was so reluctant to part ways. He's a cat with deep feelings after all!
The cabin door closed. Everyone sitting inside knew they were going to Jingdu to receive little medals, and they all looked a bit excited!
Jiangnan was also very happy!
"Brother Jian, this time you wouldn't give me seven or eight little medals, would you? Enough to cover the right side of my chest too?"
Yang Jian rolled his eyes. "Do you think they're ‘Good Student’ award certificates? Why would you want seven or eight?"
Then he grinned. "You'll know when we get back. But hey, why are you tying an iron chain to your hand?"
They saw an exceptionally thick iron chain tied around Jiangnan's arm!
He directly tore a hole in the cabin wall using a Space Wormhole, and the chain extended outside!
"Ah~ this is..."
Before Jiangnan could finish his sentence, the plane's engines started and it began to accelerate!
The iron chain instantly snapped taut, and Jiangnan was yanked violently from his seat!
With a "bang," his face slammed into the cabin wall, completely squished!
～唔(ರε(#ರ)۶】
Everyone looked bewildered. What was going on?
The pilot was puzzled as well!
Holy crap? The thrust is already at 80%!
Why isn't the plane moving?
Push it to 100%!
Inside the cabin, Jiangnan was seen standing upside down on the ceiling, assuming a horse stance!
Holding the iron chain with both hands, he let out a series of angry roars!
(ʘ̆益ʘ̆۶)۶ "Rooar!"
Meanwhile, outside the airport, Zi Yuan and Wang Dalei's faces darkened!
(̿▀̿‸▀̿̿)̄…
A chain extended from the cabin up into the sky!
The other end of the chain was connected to the Sky Island. The plane's engines were at full throttle!
Yet it couldn't budge an inch!
There was no need to guess; it must be Jiangnan's doing. How could it possibly fly like this?
A little plane trying to pull a big island?
Inside the cabin, Yang Jian glared.
☚(ŎдŎ|||) "What the hell did you tie to the other end of this chain?"
Zhong Yingxue covered her face. (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) "It should be the Sky Island he brought out from the Void Sea."
Li Bing was extremely excited. Jiangnan alone was holding back a fully throttled jet transport?
Could he be any more powerful?
Yang Jian was anxious. "What were you thinking? Let go! How can this plane possibly pull that floating island?"
Jiangnan shook his head. (˘•～•˘۶)۶ "No way! I finally managed to bring it out. I have to take it back to the Academy! This is all money!"
Everyone else couldn't help but laugh. How were you planning to bring back such a huge floating island?
Why were you so persistent?
With a "boom," a large hole was torn in the cabin, and Jiangnan was pulled out by the chain!
The transport plane lurched forward sharply, lifting its nose, causing everyone inside to tilt!
After shaking off Jiangnan, the transport plane took off directly!
Yang Jian stuck his head out of the hole and saw Jiangnan hanging from the chain, looking regretful.
"Follow on your own! Don't be late! Everything is ready over there; you're needed. Give it a rest!"
Jiangnan nodded.
(๑•̀～•́)و "I'm pulling the island right now! You guys go on ahead! I'll be there soon!"
Yang Jian: ???
Damn 'pulling the island'!
That's not what I meant!
The plane disappeared into the distance in a flash. Jiangnan looked down and saw Zi Yuan, Wang Dalei, and the others standing by the airport, watching him with slightly twitching eyes.
Jiangnan waved awkwardly.
They had just said their goodbyes, and here they were meeting again.
Looking up at the Sky Island, Jiangnan also felt troubled.
Such a huge thing, even if he used Rabbit engines, it probably couldn't fly to Jingdu, right?
It would be exhausted halfway...
But using Teleportation and the like couldn't move it either.
Could he only brute-force pull it?
Jiangnan landed, grabbed the chain with both hands, his muscles bulging. He let out a breath and a shout!
He stomped the airport asphalt pavement to pieces, veins bulging on his forehead!
In three minutes, he had only moved ten meters. Jiangnan had completely wrecked the airport.
Zi Yuan rubbed her forehead.
(⇀‸↼‶) "Is Boss Nan planning to pull this island all the way to Jingdu at this speed? The kid would have kids by then?"
Wang Dalei said darkly: "If you put this much effort into your cultivation, you'd be Dao Heaven level by now, right?"
But Jiangnan looked determined. Give up this island? No way!
He had to take it back no matter what.
Wang Dalei was about to lend a hand. Just then, Jiang Ning appeared high in the sky, watching Jiangnan and snickering.
"You go. I'll follow you!"
Saying this, her body dove straight into the floating island, merging with it!
The entire island's weight seemed to vanish; Jiangnan could pull it easily now!
Jiangnan was ecstatic!
He immediately pulled an off-road vehicle out of the Alternate Dimension, tied the chain to the tow hook, stomped on the gas, and sped off towards Jingdu, pulling the floating island behind him!
Inside the car, Jiangnan wasn't idle either. He started eating Small Ginsengs like snacks!
Ever since he got the Small Whip, eating Ginseng no longer made his nose bleed!
All the excess blood was absorbed by the Small Whip, eliminating another side effect!
Ah, nice~
Under this relentless supply, the Small Whip's level quickly surged to the Gold Peak!
But this was far from enough for Jiangnan.
He then took out the Mother Vine's Dao Heaven level spirit pearl, which was the size of a washbasin!
The vine tendrils on his wrist began to slowly absorb the abundant spiritual energy from within!
He dared not absorb too much at once—after all, this was a Dao Heaven level spirit pearl with terrifying spiritual power. Absorbing it all at once might kill him. He could only nibble at it slowly!
"Boom!"
The Small Whip burst through to Platinum level. At this rate, it should catch up soon!
On the highway, Jiangnan drove very fast, pressing the speedometer past its limit!
But he wasn't worried about breaking traffic laws, because he was, in fact, driving *above* the highway!
Many people in the traffic flow felt the sky darken for a moment, as if something was blocking the sun!
They couldn't help but look up at the sky, and their eyes nearly popped out!
Σ(›O口O‹||)
An off-road vehicle was driving in the sky, terrifyingly fast, swift as the wind!
But that wasn't the worst part. Behind the off-road vehicle, an iron chain extended all the way up into the sky!
A massive floating island was being pulled through the air by the car!
This surreal scene left people stunned. They pulled out their phones to take pictures and post them online!
Title:
Shocking! Today, Bro saw a ghost on the highway! A car driving in the sky! And it's pulling a fucking island?
(picture).iap
As soon as it was posted, the comments exploded!
"Hiss~ This is Photoshopped, right? Bro, at least respect the laws of physics when you shop! Do we govern by Newton here?"
"It's not Photoshopped! I saw it on my feed too, it's a video! It's real!"
"I'm on the highway right now, I thought it was a mirage! Until I heard the engine roar..."
"Who's this awesome? I'm more curious about the car's powertrain. How much does it cost all-in? What's the fuel consumption per 100km? Is it any good to drive..."
Many people had captured the flying car pulling the island, but it didn't cause a huge stir!
Because today, all major media, journalists, and video platforms were focused on the Jingdu International Sports Stadium!
After 42 days, the spirit calamity in Dike No Man's Land had been suppressed, the Western Frontier crisis was resolved, and everything was back on track!
This was the largest award ceremony in recent years!
Unlike before, even the Chief Commander of the Spirit Martial Force was attending, making it extremely formal!
The matter of the Western Frontier was of national concern, and the large-scale Spirit Ruin outbreaks in multiple uninhabited areas this time were a worldwide event!
As the first country to completely suppress its spirit calamity, this award ceremony was also a show of strength!
Zhong Yingxue and the others arrived, hurriedly prepared, and the award ceremony was about to begin!
The stands around the stadium were packed to capacity, filled with a sea of people. Countless cameras and microphones were aimed at the green field!
On the grass stood a large number of Dragon Abyss and Dark Night soldiers, all those who had performed outstandingly in this incident!
Zhang San, Li Si, Liu Mang, Guan Tai—they were all there!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stood at the very front, dressed in formal attire!
Everything was ready. The ceremony was being broadcast live online!
Everyone was lined up, but one position at the very front remained empty!
Zhong Yingxue and the others were frantic!
Xiao Nan was the first to receive the award, but he hadn't arrived yet. They didn't know if he was still pulling the island in the Western Frontier!
Many people's eyes were fixed on the empty spot in front!
The audience was also buzzing with discussion!
"Isn't the spot at the very front for Boss Nan? That defense battle at Clear City was absolutely insane!"
"No need to say, it must be Boss Nan! I heard that our country's first Beast Martial Army, the Tiger Hunt Army, was established largely thanks to him!"
"Haha! He's like the founding father of the spirit pet world. Is Boss Nan getting promoted again this time?"
"Hey, it's about time. Why hasn't Boss Nan shown up? I see Flame Queen and the others are already here?"
