Chapter 1146: How Could I Not Cooperate with Your Performance?
While noisily wolfing down noodles, Jiangnan was secretly laughing his ass off inside!
Finally, they're here!
So it wasn't that they wouldn't fight—they just thought they didn't have enough manpower and went back to call for reinforcements?
With so many Black Hoods, even if Wang Zhan and the others had their treasures, they wouldn't be able to hold out, right?
Then they'd definitely have to beg for help from him, and he'd have to play along properly, wouldn't he?
Ye Xingxuan and the others wouldn't be able to detect the Black Hoods' tracks!
From far away, Huayin saw Jiangnan sitting in midair eating noodles!
She gritted her teeth in anger: (ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅) "Damn it! He knows the plan and still lets us act? Is he that confident?"
Milano sneered, "Take out Jiangnan first! He's the biggest threat!"
"You surround the students; we can use them as leverage against Jiangnan later."
Just as they were about to make a move, Huayin's expression tightened. "Someone's coming. Wait."
Sure enough, hurried footsteps came from the north tunnel.
Sensing the Black Hoods hiding again, Jiangnan rolled his eyes.
Who's coming at such an inconvenient time?
Then he saw Beifeng leading over thirty people, rushing out of the tunnel in a panic.
They happened to run into Ye Xingxuan and the others.
Wang Zhan and Xiang Zu immediately went on alert.
Beifeng scanned the area, and the moment he saw Jiangnan, his eyes lit up like he'd found hope.
Jiangnan was the support staff—he could definitely contact the academy, right?
He was safe now.
So he hurried over to report.
(#ʘ̆益ʘ̥̆) "There's a group of Black Hoods! They're terrifyingly strong! They captured over three hundred of us!"
"Even the support staff got caught! Hurry and contact the academy! Call for backup!"
Jiangnan paused, then chuckled inwardly.
Good going, Director Hu and the others—they captured over three hundred in one go?
He glanced at Beifeng, expression unchanged.
(•︠～•︡๑) "Mm, got it."
Beifeng: ???
What do you mean "got it"?
Just acknowledging it is enough? Aren't you going to send help?
Can't you at least show some reaction? Aren't you surprised at all?
"Y-You're not going to rescue them?"
Jiangnan waved a hand casually.
(︶～︶๑)۶ "That's not something you need to worry about. The academy has its own arrangements..."
"By the way, they captured over three hundred? How did you escape?"
How did Director Hu mess up and let so many slip through?
Hearing this, many students looked downcast, not daring to meet Jiangnan's eyes.
(´-﹏-`‧̣̥̇)…
Beifeng remained silent. Now that he'd seen Ye Xingxuan and the others, he decided to stay and join the group.
With Jiangnan here—someone with a reputation—there shouldn't be any more trouble.
Xie Xie and the others were stunned too. Beifeng's group ran into Black Hoods as well?
Damn!
That short freak really did have accomplices!
Huayin was shocked. Even knowing so many students were captured, Jiangnan remained unmoved?
That meant he'd expected this!
"Damn it! What's Jiangnan planning? Does he have some winning move?"
Milano squinted. "Who cares? More people just means we can take them all out at once."
With that, he reached out his hand, and countless nearly invisible threads shot out.
Silently piercing the rock walls, weaving and winding, they spread throughout the entire cave chamber—dense and nearly undetectable.
"Silk Cocoon Cave!"
Zhou Yuqing frowned sharply and suddenly shouted.
(๐･᷄⌂･᷅) "Watch out! Someone's here!"
Her echolocation detected the threads in the air.
Milano sneered. "Sharp! Attack!"
"Soul Lasso!"
In an instant, Jiangnan felt a lock-on sensation.
A finger-thick thread formed into a lasso and shot straight toward him.
At the same time, over twenty Black Hoods drew short blades and charged from all directions, straight at the students.
Beifeng: !!!
Damn!
Black Hoods again?
Is his luck really that bad?
His gaze immediately fell on Jiangnan. This guy was the world's strongest Platinum. He should be able to hold them off, right?
Just as the lasso was about to snare Jiangnan,
his figure vanished instantly, and the lasso missed.
But it didn't stop—it turned and continued chasing him.
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow. This instructor's ability is interesting. A locking technique?
It won't stop until it hits the locked target?
Going after me first, the support staff, to make the students feel truly helpless with no one to turn to?
Good plan!
For your performance, how could I not cooperate?
Jiangnan hesitated for a split second in midair, as if deciding which direction to teleport.
That brief delay was enough—the Soul Lasso snared him!
It wrapped around his waist, pinning both arms.
Jiangnan's expression changed dramatically.
∑(°口°๑) "Damn! A locking technique? I was careless! I didn't dodge!"
"Hiss—what material is this rope? So tough! I can't break free?"
Milano was stunned. Wait, he actually caught him?
Then he grew excited.
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و "Got you in my lasso? You're done for now!"
Jiangnan sneered: (･᷄Д･᷅)☛ "You think I'm the world's strongest Platinum for nothing?"
With that, he teleported again, but the lasso moved with him.
No matter how many times he flashed through the air, he couldn't break free.
Milano eagerly reeled in the silk, trying to pull Jiangnan back.
(๑ิᗜิ) "Keep teleporting! You're stepping deeper into the abyss! Hehehe~"
Jiangnan snickered inside. That laugh was pretty villainous, gotta admit.
And he'd laid out all those threads in the air to limit my teleportation, right?
He wanted them to stick to me?
Not bad. I'll play along.
So Jiangnan kept teleporting, deliberately flying into the thickest parts of the thread web. Soon he was covered in silk.
Milano was ecstatic. So what if he's a space-type? He still fell for my trap!
"Snap!"
In an instant, Jiangnan was suspended in midair, wrapped in countless nearly invisible threads.
They were extremely tough, even cutting into his flesh.
His limbs were bound, limiting his movement. A hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
(๑Ő益Ő) "F**k! When did you set up these threads? I didn't even notice! I fell for it!"
"You were prepared for this? If I struggle now, I'll be sliced apart by these threads, right?"
"Th-This ability is so broken!"
Milano burst out laughing.
(*≧ᗜ≦)ﾉ "That's right! Exactly! You get it! Just surrender obediently!"
Ye Xingxuan, Wang Zhan, and the others were dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Why is Nan Shen narrating while fighting?
And from the looks of it, Nan Shen is about to lose?
How is that possible? Nan Shen losing? Could the enemy really be that strong?
Jiangnan gritted his teeth, face twisted.
(｀⌒´メ) "Surrender? You think I don't have ranged skills?"
"Void Black Hole!"
His eyes locked onto Milano's left side.
(͡⚆～͡⚆)✧
In an instant, Milano felt goosebumps rise.
He subconsciously looked left, and sure enough,
a Void Black Hole bloomed, erupting with terrifying suction.
But Milano was ready. "Silk Cutter!"
He swept his hand, and five crystalline silk threads slashed through the air.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The black hole was shattered the moment it appeared. Even the rock wall behind it was mercilessly cut apart.
The power was terrifying!
Jiangnan was shocked: =͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "What? You could predict my ability? Th-This... such strong combat instincts!"
Milano: ???
Didn't you just tell me you were going to use a ranged black hole? You even shouted the skill name!
"Hmph! All your struggles are futile!"
"Tangled in a Cocoon of One's Own Making!"
With a grab of his hand, all the threads in the cave chamber contracted violently.
In an instant, Jiangnan was wrapped up tight, turned into a spool of thread.
Milano pulled the lasso, and Jiangnan flew straight toward him.
He raised his fist and aimed for Jiangnan's stomach.
"Think you're tough?"
Jiangnan watched the fist punch through the air with three sonic booms.
Mm, let him hit. Three sonic booms? Not much force.
"Boom!"
The fist slammed into Jiangnan's gut. Milano felt like he'd punched an alloy plate. His abs hurt his knuckles.
He was shocked. That punch was 80% of his strength. This guy's physique is amazing!
Jiangnan grinned secretly. This instructor held back. The punch was soft as cotton.
Better spit out some blood, though. Not a single drop would seem fake.
So Jiangnan's eyes bulged, his face turned pale, and he sprayed bright red blood three meters away, covering an entire wall.
*Pthwaa~* ꉂꉂ(˃᷄ε˂᷅#)
He collapsed on the ground, curling up, making "heh heh heh" sounds.
The students were frantic: "Nan Shen! Dodge! Get away!"
If a single punch made Nan Shen cough up that much blood,
even Heavenly War God Tianqing couldn't do that!
Just how strong is this Silk Guy?
Is he Starlight?
Milano stared at his own fist in disbelief.
Wait, am I that strong?
So Jiangnan was just pretending? His physique wasn't really that tough?
Seeing Jiangnan on the ground in pain, Milano was ecstatic. He lifted his foot to kick him in the face.
"Hehehe~ Today is the day you fall from your pedestal!"
Jiangnan pouted.
Tch, kick the face? That's a bit much. This instructor is definitely getting revenge.
Fine, let him hit the stomach, but the face is off-limits.
So Jiangnan teleported, pulling the lasso far away.
"I can still move! I'm not done yet! Classmates, run! This guy's ability completely counters me!"
"I'll hold him off! Go! *Pthwaa~*"
And he spat out another mouthful of blood.
