# Chapter 1101: Anti-Jiangnan Mode
Upon hearing this news, how could Jiangnan hold back?
He was simply eager to return home!
Chasing all the reporters away, Jiangnan prepared to drag the island back to the Academy!
He greeted Yang Jian, and the Star Gate and core fragment weren't left in Jing Du, but were brought back by Jiangnan instead!
After all, it was a matter of great importance, and the Academy's safety factor went without saying!
Plus, the most formidable spell array expert in the country was Han Menglu, and Jiang Ning would help too!
Later, a specialized research team would be sent from above to assist with the Star Gate repair work at the Academy!
He also bid farewell to Liu Mang and Li Si!
Jiangnan rode Xiao Jiuwo, dragging an iron chain as he flew toward Rongcheng Academy!
His heart was filled with anticipation. He hadn't been back in over two months—Xiao Yeye must really miss me, right?
(︶.̮︶✽)
I wonder if the reconstruction work is done yet!
After all, that was built with the little money I scraped together!
…
The morning medal ceremony caused a huge stir internationally!
Especially the exclusive interview with Jiangnan afterward, which sparked heated discussions online!
"Boss Nan is at Platinum Nine! Hurry up and get to Diamond! The world has suffered long enough!"
"If he doesn't reach Diamond, the World's Strongest Platinum will always be Boss Nan! He was already the strongest back when he was Platinum Three—who knows how strong he is now?"
"If Boss Nan reaches Diamond, he might not necessarily get the strongest title, right? After all, the higher the level, the bigger the gap!"
"Hmph—won't get it? It'll belong to Boss Nan sooner or later, just a matter of a few stars!"
Meanwhile, overseas, Danny, Charles, Sean and the others watched this news, feeling deeply frustrated.
Could they only compete for the title of World's Strongest Platinum once Jiangnan reached Diamond?
Picking up the title he didn't want…
But even with frustration, there was no solution. When Jiangnan was at Platinum Five, ten of them couldn't beat him one-on-ten!
And now he's at Platinum Nine?
As for the younger crowd, they were absolutely buzzing!
(･᷄‿･᷅) "Thanks for the invite. I'm in Fog City, ranked ninth in the National All-Star Tournament. Already received my interview notice. Boss Nan, wait for me!"
(#)ᵔᗜᵔ(#) "Grandpa was so excited when he heard I was going to the Nursing Home for a volunteer interview, he gave me his favorite big slap!"
(๑•̀ٹ•́)و "Brother's time to shine has come! When that happens, I will outshine everyone and radiate brilliance!"
(❛ั～❛ั∗) "I heard the test is super hard, with a terrifying elimination rate. I've already set up a rookie chat group. Little buddies, come to the bowl and group up!"
At Capital Spirit University, among the trainees Jiangnan had led, many with outstanding performance received interview qualifications!
Wang Zhan and Xiang Zu were currently engaged in an intense sparring match in the training room, sweat flying!
"Haha! With just this little skill, when that Jiang Devil sees you, won't he scold you to death?"
"You think you're all that? Bring it on! I've gotta shock the Jiang Devil big time!"
At the Ye family villa, Ye Xingxuan shook her head like a rattle-drum!
(乛～乛｡) "No! I'm not going! If I go, won't I become Xinghe's junior? I, as the older sister, would lose all face!"
Ye Zhenguo was so angry his beard and eyebrows shot up!
(ꐦ☉益☉)☞ "You got the spot but won't go? How explosively filial!"
"Become Xinghe's junior? You wish! It's not even certain you'll be selected!"
"Brother Jiang wouldn't even spare you a glance. I offered nine kisses from my granddaughter in exchange for treasure from Brother Jiang, and he still wouldn't trade!"
Ye Xingxuan: ???
What the heck—using my nine kisses to trade treasure with Jiangnan?
Is this how you act as a grandfather?
Did I agree to this?
[Ye Xingxuan Resentment Value +1000!]
And the problem is Jiangnan didn't even agree?
(˘•～•˘｡) "Hmph! Fine, I'll go! I'll pass the selection in no time! Pfft, stinky grandpa! Ye Pikachu!"
Ye Xingxuan ran out of the room without looking back.
Ye Zhenguo's face darkened—was this incident never going to be let go?
But at least Xingxuan was going now, so my efforts weren't wasted!
"Heh—those noble families must be itching to get involved too, right?"
With this move, Jiangnan had completely established the Nursing Home's reputation!
When they blocked the gates in Qing City, the seven-person team managed to block three Ling Xu?
That achievement was truly eye-catching!
At Jiangcheng No. 1 High School training room!
Zhou Yuqing was doing weighted frog jumps, sweat soaking her hair, strands sticking together!
A freckled little girl ran over excitedly, waving an envelope!
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)ᓄ✉
"Yuqing! It's the Nursing Home interview notice! You got one too!"
"What? Really?"
Zhou Yuqing ran over with a face full of surprise. Looking at the envelope, her eyes reddened—all her hard work hadn't been in vain!
Her pretty face was full of yearning!
"Brother Jiangnan! Little Qing is coming!"
And as the official document was issued, the internet exploded!
The Pocket Rabbit became the new national treasure of Hua Xia, under key protection!
The official document was released!
"Hiss—has our giant panda's cuteness lost its charm? The Pocket Rabbit is now a national treasure?"
"Cut it out! Look at how hungry the pandas are, no food to eat. Boss Nan took all the bamboo shoots from the mountain!"
"Haha! The key point is, Pocket Rabbits aren't just cute—they're practical too! A treasure pouch, you know?"
With the document out, all nations saw Hua Xia's attitude toward the Pocket Rabbit!
But the immense strategic value couldn't be ignored either. If overt methods didn't work, only covert ones remained!
At Hongguo's Ma'er Island!
Qian Benying, dressed in cool summer clothes, lay on the garden's wooden deck eating watermelon, only eating the sweetest heart of the fruit!
Each slice, she only took three bites!
Liuhua had a timid expression, eating the remnants of the watermelon Qian Benying had left behind!
(๑◔～◔ิ๑)…
Ever since Ying Jiang found out she had signed a billion-yuan IOU with Jiangnan, she had been subjected to unfair treatment!
Not only did she have to wash Ying Jiang's clothes and socks, but she could only eat leftover watermelon!
By the garden edge sat a silly old man with drool stains on his clothes!
(◞꒪﹃꒪) "Ehehe—eat! Baby wants watermelon too!"
Qian Benying's face darkened!
(*͡■～■͡*) "Eat my ass! You're not getting any! Eat the rind!"
"Can't remember your bank card password, can't remember the treasury location? That Space Spirit Pearl of mine is still unresolved!"
"It's all your fault! If I'd known, I wouldn't have picked you up!"
Looking at Gong Qi, Qian Benying was furious. The only stockpile of Space Spirit Pearls in Hongguo was in Gong Qi's hands!
But Odin had banged his head silly, and even the most advanced medical treatment couldn't fix him!
Now she had no Spirit Pearl to use!
And he wouldn't leave, clinging to her!
Yamata no Orochi, a Dao Heaven-level powerhouse—too bad his brain was fried!
Just then, the phone rang!
Qian Benying answered, her brows furrowed!
ᕦ(*•̆口•̆) "What? You want me to steal Pocket Rabbits? No way I'm going!"
Wasn't that walking right into a trap? If she went, she'd definitely run into Jiangnan, and he'd probably demand money from her!
Remembering the time in Nightless City when Jiangnan fed her a Spirit-Binding Pearl, she shuddered!
This young lady never wants to meet him again!
On the other end of the phone: "Just bring back two, one male and one female. It shouldn't be hard for you!"
"If you succeed, we'll figure out a way to get you a Spirit Pearl!"
Qian Benying glared: "Not hard? How is it not hard? It's hard as hell!"
"I'm not going, not going! The Sakura Group isn't the only one, is it? Go find Jing Ming to send!"
With that, she hung up in frustration!
Going would be nonsense. Back in the Abyss, she'd just reached Platinum, and he was already that freakish!
Just saw the news—he's at Platinum Nine now?
Steal his precious rabbit? That's asking for trouble!
Why not lie at home eating watermelon?
Air conditioning, watermelon, Wi-Fi?
I could lie here for a whole year!
But… where will I get a Spirit Pearl?
Qian Benying tugged at her hair in frustration, looking troubled!
…
Rongcheng Pioneer Academy!
After renovation and expansion, it looked vastly different from before!
The scale was several times larger!
Physical training, heavy training, cultivation rooms, various advanced training facilities—all fully equipped!
Various research institutes were built with unique styles, and there was even a dedicated spirit pet parking and walking area!
The scale was now comparable to the top-tier Spirit Martial Universities!
It finally had the feel of a premier domestic academy!
And all buildings used steel-frame structures reinforced with concrete!
On the exterior insulation layer, 100mm of armored alloy steel plates were added, then painted over!
They could withstand direct hits from rockets and grenades!
So everything looked particularly sturdy and heavy!
When the contractor received the job and design plans, they were dumbfounded!
Is this building an academy or a bunker?
As for Jiangnan's standalone Maple Forest Villa, after reconstruction, there were no buildings around it at all!
It looked extremely spacious…
At the moment, Xiao Chuihuo sat in his wheelchair, overlooking the completely rebuilt campus!
A look of satisfaction on his face!
(◞⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "Good! I've dreamed of this scene countless times. This is the academy of my dreams!"
"The money wasn't wasted!"
Beside him, Guan Hu was full of heartache—far from being wasted, the money wasn't even enough!
Between the little money Jiangnan had scraped together and the funding from above, it was all spent!
This wave had completely drained the academy's accounts!
Hopefully, after this expansion, they could recover a bit of blood!
"But the money was indeed spent on the blade's edge. Jiangnan will be back soon; then we'll know if it's any good!"
Xiao Chuihuo: !!!
He was jolted awake!
(‧̣̥̇◞థ‧̣̥̇口‧̣̥̇థ) "What? What thing? That little brat is coming back? So soon? The Western Frontier is done?"
Guan Hu scratched his head: ୧(￣‸￣) "Dean, didn't you watch the news? Jiangnan was medal-ceremonied in Jing Du this morning! Promoted to Young Marshal!"
"And he dragged an island—pretty flashy. Should be back today, right?"
Xiao Chuihuo's eyelids twitched, sweat pouring down his forehead!
☚(ʘ̆～ʘ̥̆‖) "Island? What island? You mean that island?"
In the distance, a floating island sped toward them! On Xiao Jiuwo, Jiangnan raised his arm and shouted, face full of excitement!
٩(*´ᗜ`*)۶ "Xiao Yeye! I'm back! You even came out to greet me personally? Hahaha!"
Xiao Chuihuo's face was full of urgency, and he turned to roar!
(◞ಠ口ಠ) "Quick! Move fast! Start the Anti-Jiangnan Mode!"
"Absolutely can't let him demolish the newly built academy!"
The next moment, the piercing alarm of the Pioneer Nursing Home sounded!
