# Chapter 176: March to Thousand Lakes Island! (Bonus Update!!!)
Jiangnan's gaze fell upon the brown-haired youth, his brow slightly furrowed!
"Who is this? So arrogant?"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Now this is going to be good! The strongest combatant of Qingyun Spirit Martial! Sky King Qi Feiyu!"
"Damn? That's Qi Feiyu? The Silver Three-Star one?"
"What the hell? He's only a senior in high school and already Silver Three-Star? Is he even human?"
"No wonder he's so arrogant. By comparison, Southern God's rank looks pathetic... only Bronze Seven-Star..."
Hu Shuo quickly directed the cameraman to focus on the two!
He had just been interviewing Qi Feiyu!
But halfway through the interview, he'd abandoned him to interview Jiangnan instead!
Qi Feiyu naturally felt displeased!
Jiangnan squinted and said, "On what grounds? You'll find out soon enough!"
"Don't spew crap in front of me. If you haven't had breakfast, go left fifty meters past the toilet and take a right!"
"If you're looking for a sense of superiority, go find it somewhere else. Don't waste my time doing business!"
The crowd immediately erupted into cheers!
"Ingenious! Insulting without a single curse word! Is Southern God also one of my fellow netizens [from the 'Zuan' region]?"
"Southern God doesn't back down at all!"
"He's really tough!"
Some even whistled, eager to watch the drama unfold!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao's expressions also soured as they glared angrily at Qi Feiyu!
Qi Feiyu's face turned completely cold!
He sneered, "Still Bronze? A useless piece of trash like you actually dares to challenge me?"
"You'll soon regret your words! In Thousand Lakes Island, I'll give you and your friends special treatment! In my own way!"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao, his eyes roaming over their bodies!
He extended his scarlet tongue and licked his lips!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao felt disgusted and hid behind Jiangnan!
Instead, Jiangnan grinned: "Hah! Is that so? You really want to play with me?"
Zhong Yingxue looked at Jiangnan's smile and knew that this time, he was truly angry!
Last time when Xia Yao was captured, Jiangnan had the same expression!
Qi Feiyu sneered coldly: "No! I just want to prove that your proud spatial ability means nothing in my eyes!"
"As for this pile of junk, you'd better pack it up now. This waiting hall is no place for you to sell trash!"
Jiangnan was amused despite his anger: "Are you even in charge of my street vending?"
Qi Feiyu raised his hand and called out, "Security! Here's a participant deliberately disrupting public order. Are you not going to do anything?"
"Is this the style of the All-Star Tournament hosted by the Spirit Martial Association? Absolutely ridiculous!"
The two staff members looked helpless as they stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, please pack up your stall. Don't make things difficult for us."
Jiangnan squinted: "Is there a rule that says I can't set up a stall here? Who gave you the authority?"
Qi Feiyu looked at Jiangnan with utter contempt, seemingly enjoying the sight of him being cornered!
Staff: "There's no rule, but..."
Just then!
"He can set up his stall here!"
Qi Feiyu frowned: "Who said that?"
"I said it!"
"Who the hell do you think you are?"
"President of the Jiangcheng Spirit Martial Association. Is that enough qualification?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Feiyu was stunned! The students were also stunned!
An energetic old man dressed in formal attire, accompanied by a young girl with pigtails, walked into the venue!
Jiangnan grinned: "What's the matter, President Shen? Is this your turf?"
Shen Hong laughed: "We're the organizers here. Forget setting up a stall; even if you were selling barbecue skewers, it'd be fine!"
"Haha! I knew you'd come, little brother!"
He stepped forward and patted Jiangnan on the shoulder with great familiarity!
"Don't try to get chummy with me! You still owe me a meal and 436 yuan!"
Shen Hong's face immediately darkened!
Damn! Does he have to remember that so clearly?
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao also covered their mouths in surprise!
How could they not recognize the president of the Jiangcheng Spirit Martial Association?
They saw him on TV all the time!
How did Jiangnan know President Shen?
And they seemed so familiar with each other, with Shen calling Jiangnan "little brother"?
Oh my god! What kind of seniority was this?
The participating contestants were also baffled. What was going on? Did Southern God really have this kind of connection?
Qi Feiyu's expression darkened. Unwilling to back down, he said, "What? Just because you two know each other, Jiangnan can set up a stall in the waiting hall?"
"This isn't a place for favoritism!"
Shen Hong frowned. This kid was clueless!
"First of all, the waiting hall is a free activity area. There are no rules restricting contestant activities!"
"If you have any objections, you can report them up the chain! But first, figure out who you're talking to!"
There was already a hint of fire in his words!
As the president of the Spirit Martial Association, what did he care about some so-called genius? He didn't have the right to challenge him!
As for Jiangnan, it was different!
Shen Hong knew that the name Jiangnan carried far more weight than just being a genius!
Just the contribution of the Vitality Ginseng alone was a great achievement!
Qi Feiyu's eyes were bloodshot, unable to save face. He coldly said, "Thousand Lakes Island... you'll see!"
With that, he turned and left, full of resentment!
Jiangnan squinted: "Don't worry! Even if you don't come to me, I'll come for you!"
Shen Hong patted Jiangnan's shoulder and said cheerfully, "This is my granddaughter, Shen Miao. She'll also be participating in this All-Star Tournament. If you run into her in there, please look after her a bit!"
The pigtailed girl walked over and gave Jiangnan a sweet smile: "Hello, Brother Jiangnan!"
Jiangnan smiled: "Don't worry!"
Since he was being given face, he would naturally return the favor!
Respect was always mutual!
Shen Hong chuckled: "I'll get back to work! I wish you great results!"
As soon as Shen Hong left, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao immediately crowded around curiously!
Zhong Yingxue: "Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan! How did you get to know President Shen?"
Xia Yao: "Did you sell him that kind of color-fading underwear?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes!
"That old man went out for dinner in his pajamas without any money. I paid for him..."
[From Zhong Yingxue: Resentment +333!]
[From Xia Yao: Resentment +666!]
What kind of ridiculous reason was that!
Could he be any more evasive?
Just then, the contestants finished assembling!
And Shen Hong took the stage to announce the competition rules!
"First! I'm very pleased that everyone can participate in this All-Star Tournament!"
"I'm sure many of you are familiar with the All-Star Tournament format!"
"But it's still better if I go through it once!"
"The All-Star Tournament will be held in the Thousand Lakes Island Spirit Ruins! It's an elimination tournament with 99 teams competing!"
"The competition will last for two weeks!"
"I believe everyone has received their respective satellite watches. The watch will display your current location and the range of the signal reception area!"
"Throughout the competition, all contestants must remain within the signal reception area!"
"Once you are exposed outside the signal reception area, you will be immediately eliminated!"
"Furthermore, the range of the signal reception area will be adjusted every two days! The range will continuously shrink until it's gone!"
"During this period, contestants can hunt spirit beasts for spirit beads! You can also hunt other teams to obtain supplies and reduce competition!"
"There will only be one championship team that survives to the end! They will receive a prize of 100 million yuan! We will select the top three teams to participate in the national competition!"
"Your watches have surrender functions, rescue functions, and positioning functions! Specific competition rules and operating instructions will be distributed to everyone later!"
"Additionally, inside the spirit ruins is not a lawless place! Deliberately harming others' lives is prohibited!"
"The entire competition will be monitored by the Heavenly Eye System! Any violations will be subject to legal punishment!"
"Finally, I wish everyone the best of luck in securing first place while ensuring your own safety!"
Jiangnan was completely dumbfounded after listening!
What the hell?
What kind of All-Star Tournament was this?
There's even a shrinking poison zone?
