Chapter 2696: The Ruthless Burst Machine
The moment this was brought up, the people of the Matter Alliance were like cats whose tails had been stepped on—they immediately bristled!
Still blowing up?
Lightning striking twice was one thing, but you couldn't be making a third visit to the outhouse, could you?
Ming Sha's gaze immediately fell on Yuan Jing!
(˵ಠĹ̯ಠ˵) "This leader, you wouldn't want our Matter Alliance position to be destroyed once again, would you?"
"With just a small sacrifice from the Star Mirror Clan, we can exchange for millions of hostages and keep the Matter Alliance position safe. Why not do it?"
"And Jiangnan only said he wanted to use you, he didn't say he'd abuse you. He'll let you go later, right?"
Yuan Jing was frantic:
(งథYiథ)ง "Ptooey! Who was it just now that said our Matter Alliance was united in heart? Now you want to sell us out?"
"We'll be released later? Who can withstand what they'll do? No way, no way, I'd rather die than go! That's Jiang the Devil!"
"When I joined the Matter Alliance, it was agreed that all races would be protected by the Alliance. You can't do this!"
The Metal Clan leader urged:
(*͡°͜ʖ͡°) "Aren't we protecting the hostages? You just sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self!"
The Crystal Clan leader nodded: "Exactly, exactly. Besides, even if you don't agree, Jiangnan will still come grab you. Since you can't change the result, why not give up struggling from the start and choose to enjoy it?"
Yuan Jing: !!!
(´థYiథ)σ "Scumbags! You bunch of animals! No way, the Star Mirror Clan will never yield!"
But Ming Sha, the Immortal Kingdom, and the others didn't care about all that. They directly surrounded the Star Mirror Clan!
With a clang and bang of "persuasion," they even promised to allocate some strategic resources to compensate the Star Mirror Clan for their sacrifice to the Matter Alliance. In the end, they "persuaded" the Star Mirror Clan to agree!
In the time it took to fart, a million Star Mirror Clan elites were sent to the front of the Carbon Alliance position, each with a bitter face like a gourd!
The two sides smoothly completed the hostage exchange!
Yuan Jing felt life was hopeless, and even the world lost its color!
Because he was also among this group of elites being sent in, you know!
Gu Qiong urged:
꒰⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷᷄Yiᵒ̴̶̷᷅٥⸝⸝꒱ "Jiangnan! I've sent the Star Mirror Clan leader over for you to use. Don't you need to show some sincerity?"
"Among these released hostages, there isn't a leader-level one, right? How about you let my main body go? Like this..."
Jiangnan curled his lip: (ꐦ°᷄～°᷅) "Dreaming of eating shit, are you? What's the Chaos Race's rank ranking, and what's the Star Mirror Clan's? Is there any comparison? Yuan Jing's caliber isn't enough! You want to exchange your main body for this? Ptooey!"
Gu Qiong panicked:
٩꒰⸝⸝▼Yi▼⸝⸝꒱ "I'll add people! I'll add people, okay? I'll give another 500,000 Star Mirror Clan elites to exchange for my main body. What do you think..."
Yuan Jing: ???
٩(ꐦఠ口ఠ)و "Gu Qiong! You're going too far, oh! If you want to add, add your own Chaos Race. Why add our Star Mirror Clan for nothing?"
"There's no such thing as selling out teammates like this! I'll just ~%?…;#*'!"
But Jiangnan didn't pay attention to Gu Qiong's price hike. With so many Star Mirror Clan, it was enough!
He turned around and led his people back to the position!
Meanwhile, the hostages who had been released all had red eyes!
They never expected that falling into Jiangnan's hands, they could still have a day of regained freedom!
As the saying goes, if the Great Nan doesn't die, there will be blessings to come!
The various races of the Matter Alliance quickly surrounded them, full of curiosity!
(๑◔～◔ิ๑) "Brother? How was life in the Matter Prison? Did you suffer any grievances? My uncle and aunt were both captured. Did you see them inside?"
Many people stepped forward to ask!
But the moment this was brought up, all those hostages became cocky!
(︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "Hey~ you have no idea, we didn't suffer any grievances in the Matter Prison at all. It's just that Jiangnan made us beat the Bose, and the harder we beat them, the better the treatment!"
"Aren't we out now because we performed well?"
Hearing this, the Matter Alliance couldn't help but widen their eyes!
∑(°口°๑) "Iron brother, awesome! Did you actually lay hands on them?"
The hostage curled his lip:
(｡･ˇ↼ˇ･) "Of course. What's there to be afraid of? Just go for it!"
"Have you never beaten them before? A Starry Sky Overlord! I punched him right in the face, kicked his kidneys again and again, made him howl! The feel was absolutely amazing!"
Listening to the hostages' descriptions, the Matter Alliance couldn't help but swallow!
(｡･ˇ﹏ˇ･｡:) "Aren't you afraid those Bose bodies will come out and retaliate against you?"
(͡°͜ʖ͡°) "Hmph! Come out? Jiang the Devil makes sure they can come out! Bose bodies are fragile in the Stygian Force Field. I'm afraid I might beat them to death. Starry Sky Overlord? Not so impressive!"
Clearly... Jiangnan's purpose wasn't just to release the hostages...
When the hostages in the Matter Prison saw that Jiangnan hadn't broken his word and had really released all those who fought hard, what reservations did they have left?
They struck even harder and more eagerly when beating the Bose, striving to get out early!
Meanwhile, Jiangnan led Yuan Jing and the others back to the Stygian River!
The Star Mirror Clan was extremely self-aware and directly headed toward the Matter Prison!
Jiangnan was taken aback: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅) "What are you doing?"
Yuan Jing put on a bitter face:
(;´༎ຶ﹏༎ຶ`) "Going inside to squat. When you use us, can you please be gentle? Be tender? Our Star Mirror Clan are fragile items, so handle with care!"
"And... whatever you do, don't let the Insect Race use us. We really can't take it! I'm begging you!"
After saying that, he kept muttering to himself. Who knows who had such a unique interest and actually had improper thoughts about the Star Mirror Clan? This was really...
Jiangnan's mouth twitched:
(•́ω•̀٥) "Who told you you were going to the Matter Prison? We exchanged for you for a great purpose!"
"That Void Illusory Mirror and Heart-Reflecting Mirror of your Star Mirror Clan are still somewhat useful, right?"
"This time we called you over to help humans break through their inner demons and temper their minds! Use the Heart-Reflecting Mirror to create their most feared, desperate scenes, help them break through their limits, and manifest their Willpower!"
"This should be quite easy for your Star Mirror Clan, right? After all, the Star Mirror Clan is famous as professional bursters!"
He said this with a teasing look at Yuan Jing!
(˵ಡ▿ಡ)✧
Yuan Jing's face turned green. What the hell is a professional burster!
Back during the Cosmos Grand Hunt, every time the Star Mirror Clan used the Heart-Reflecting Mirror to shine on a human, that human would burst!
The burst rate was 100%. The Star Mirror Clan team was completely wrecked, and their leader died horribly!
Since then, the Star Mirror Clan had earned the title of professional bursters. Some people even specifically sought out the Star Mirror Clan during preparation periods to help them break through inner demons!
They were chased away by the Star Mirror Clan. This was an utter disgrace!
The Heart-Reflecting Mirror skill wasn't meant to be used like this, dammit!
Seeing Yuan Jing's bad expression, Jiangnan raised an eyebrow:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "What? You're not willing?"
"If you're not willing, I'll call the Insect Race..."
Yuan Jing shook his head like a rattle:
(ﾟ﹏ﾟ≡ﾟ﹏ﾟ) "No, no! Willing, willing! Use us however you like!"
"As long as you let us go after you're done!"
Jiangnan nodded in satisfaction:
(︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "Work well. If you do well, I'll reward you with a hundred or eighty base planets later!"
Yuan Jing's glasses immediately lit up. There was such a good thing?
Following the Matter Alliance, all they did was get beaten up!
Working for the Carbon Alliance, they even got rewards!
∠(｀ω´*) "Guaranteed to complete the mission! At this moment, we are emotionless burst machines! We'll arrange everything clearly for you!"
Jiangnan nodded: "Good! Then go to the Dimensional Gap and prepare. Later, I'll send people there for the Star Mirror Trial!"
"Oh, by the way~ Your Heart-Reflecting Mirror can grasp the opponent's weaknesses, right? After the work is done, a round of passionate big mouth slaps is inevitable. Be mentally prepared!"
Yuan Jing was terrified. There were also big slaps to take?
When they were swapped in, no one mentioned anything about getting beaten!
But what else could they do? This was Jiangnan's turf. When in Rome, do as the Romans do!
Fine, big slaps it is!
So one by one, they were all taken to the Dimensional Gap to prepare. They couldn't use their skills on the Stygian River!
Wu Zang and Yakeli were dumbfounded. What the hell is an emotionless burst machine!
This actually works?
Using the Star Mirror Clan's Heart-Reflecting Mirror to simulate desperate situations, pressure the will, bring the most realistic experience, force those undergoing the Star Mirror Trial to break through their own limits, and use the Mind-Only Method to manifest Willpower!
Once Willpower was successfully manifested, that was the entry into the Mind-Only path!
This way, the risk and intensity were controllable, making it perfect for beginners!
It was definitely a great aid for cultivating the Mind-Only Method!
Wu Zang also rubbed his forehead:
(ﾉ)´-﹏-`) "You really don't waste anything, do you? Is this the dirty trick you mentioned?"
Using the Star Mirror Clan as trial tools—is that even possible?
Jiangnan said smugly: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Just say whether it's dirty or not!"
Wu Zang gave a thumbs up: "Dirty! Extremely dirty!"
Once the Star Mirror Clan was ready, Jiangnan immediately notified the Human Transcendent Group, Triumph Group Army, and others to go to the Star Mirror Trial and see if they could master the Mind-Only Method!
Carbon Alliance member races who were interested could also give it a try!
Xuexue, Wolfbane, and the others had already gone. Du Lingyu, Ye Yeyuan, Ye Jinshe, and others also had a strong interest!
Because no matter how many times they saw it, Jiangnan's Void Cutting was always so cool!
Who would complain about having too many skills?
They pulled the Insect Sixth Sister and wanted to go participate in the Star Mirror Trial, since they had nothing better to do anyway!
But Insect Sixth Sister was completely dumbfounded!
(๑מּ,﹏מּ) "If I remember correctly, we should be in the middle of a Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, right? Why are we doing business, collecting debts, and working as mercenaries?"
"And now you've set up a Star Mirror Trial, sparking a full-scale training craze? We... we haven't done a single proper thing yet?"
In this month-long offensive and defensive battle, they had done everything except actually fight a proper battle!
The most crucial thing was that they still had a massive number of base planets!
She didn't even know where to start complaining!
Lying down and winning was making me a bit uneasy!
Yang Jian awkwardly scratched his head:
(⌒ㅂ⌒;)୨ "We might have been a bit too reckless, huh? I feel like we should at least show some respect to this offensive and defensive battle!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes:
(꒪ัꇴ꒪ั*) "Ah~ isn't it just fighting? If you can't sit still, then let's fight one!"
"This has always been in my plan anyway. Looking at the current situation on the field, it's about time to start preparing!"
Wu Zang was taken aback: (๑•̌д•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Is this action plan also very dirty?"
Jiangnan grinned slyly: (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) "Dirty~ very dirty. But before the action, we need to confirm one thing!"
