# Chapter 273: Dare to Fight Me
For a moment, the sounds of punching and kicking grew even louder!
Accompanied by Wu Liang's aggrieved wails!
Qin Shou, Brother Eyes, and Du Yue, passing by the corridor, heard the screams and fighting sounds coming from the room and exchanged bewildered glances!
"What's going on? They're fighting?"
"They're all teammates! How did a conflict break out?"
"Let's go mediate!"
As soon as they entered the room, they saw four Chang Weis beating up Lai Fu!
Wu Liang: !!!
Salvation! Salvation at last!
"Quick! Quick, save me! They..."
Qin Shou glared: "Are you looking down on me?"
Brother Eyes: "I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you!"
Du Yue: "Get him! Beat him up!"
The three charged in with red eyes and joined the beating!
The number of Chang Weis went from four to seven!
Oh... no wait! Eight!
Even little Mila was joining in, babbling as she hit!
Wu Liang covered his head, tears streaming down his old face!
What the hell!
You come in and beat me up without a word, just beat me up!
And you say I'm arrogant?
[From Wu Liang: Resentment +1000!]
The room was getting livelier and livelier!
Shen Miao and Guo Guo, who had just finished shopping, also returned!
Passing the corridor, they heard Wu Liang's miserable screams from the room!
They couldn't help but look anxious and quickly knocked on the door: "Brother Wu Liang?"
"What's wrong with you? Do you need..."
Wu Liang: !!!
"No! Don't open the door! Don't come in!"
Getting beaten by eight people was already miserable enough!
If two more came in, he really couldn't take it...
Shen Miao and Guo Guo were both stunned, but the screams didn't sound fake!
Shen Miao: "Brother Wu Liang! Are you in some kind of danger? Can't speak freely? Is that why you said the opposite?"
Guo Guo nodded: "That must be it! That's how it works in the movies!"
"Let's go in and check!"
Wu Liang was going crazy!
Don't just make up scenarios in your heads, you two!
The door opened...
And the number of people beating up Wu Liang increased to ten!
As they hit, Guo Guo asked curiously: "Why are we beating him anyway?"
Yu Qingqing: "I don't seem to be as angry anymore either!"
Qin Shou: "Don't overthink it, just hit him! Everyone's doing it!"
"That's true too..."
So Guo Guo and Little Fish continued hitting!
[From Wu Liang: Resentment +1000!]
Three minutes later, everyone wiped the sweat off their foreheads and sat in a row on the bed!
All looking satisfied!
Wu Liang was swollen all over from the beating, lying on the ground, aggrieved tears streaming down!
He had been beaten by ten people for a full three minutes!
It was a miracle he wasn't dead!
Jiangnan covered his face: "I think I know how the previous owner of this spirit bead died..."
He must have been beaten to death!
What kind of terrifying spirit technique effect was this?
The taunt was maxed out!
Zhong Yingxue looked thoughtful: "It's a very powerful spirit technique! Wu Liang is a tank after all. If used well, it could be a huge help to the team!"
Xia Yao: "It seems the effect lasts about three minutes!"
Wu Liang silently cried tears!
Hey hey hey!
Doesn't anyone care about me?
You almost beat me to death!
He finally understood—this technique was meant to make him take a beating!
And he could even choose who to taunt!
What a great technique!
What a damn great technique...
Jiangnan grinned: "Let's give this technique a name!"
Wu Liang spat out a mouthful of old blood and forced out four words!
"Dare to fight me!"
Jiangnan gave a thumbs up: "Arrogant enough!"
...
The news of Jiangnan arriving in Jingdu and checking into a hotel spread like wildfire!
And the All-Star Preliminary Ranking Tournament was set to be held three days later!
This almost confirmed that the reason the tournament was postponed was because of Jiangnan!
Many reporters and media were camped outside the hotel every day, just waiting to catch Jiangnan!
But for two straight days, Jiangnan never stepped out of his room!
It wasn't because Jiangnan was a homebody!
It was because the effect of the Hey Black Garlic still hadn't worn off!
But Jiangnan hadn't been idle either!
He had already accumulated over 1.1 million skill points!
Originally prepared for the Sahara Desert trip, he hadn't ended up using much.
With Yun Fei's private event and a few previous street stalls, he had earned a large number of skill points.
This time, Jiangnan wasn't planning to save them!
Out with the old, in with the new!
He directly dumped the skill points into Blade Mastery!
Originally, Blade Mastery had already been upgraded to the highest level!
Jiangnan wanted to see what lay beyond the highest level!
[Added Skill Points: 1,000,000!]
[Skill Upgraded! Blade Mastery (Grandmaster): MAX!]
Instantly, countless memories flooded in!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up—it had reached max level?
The 1 million skill points were well spent!
The improvement was astonishing!
Grandmaster and the highest level were completely different tiers!
Jiangnan was now confident he could use the tip of a blade to embroider on a fly's wing!
"Dong dong dong!"
A knock came, and Xia Yao pushed the door open!
"Xiao Nan, let's go! We have to draw lots! The ranking tournament starts tomorrow!"
Seeing Xia Yao's rosy complexion, Jiangnan put little Mila on his shoulders!
"You two have already absorbed it?"
Xia Yao grinned: "Three stars! Xuexue got four! I can't wait to show off my skills!"
As soon as they left the hotel, a flood of reporters surged forward, countless cameras aimed at Jiangnan!
"Nan Shen! Can you tell us what you were doing in Africa during that period you disappeared?"
"Was the All-Star Tournament really postponed because of you?"
"What's your relationship with this little girl?"
"Many contestants have declared war on you, but you haven't responded—are you afraid? What's your stance on this?"
Jiangnan's face showed shock, and he looked behind them in panic: "Holy crap! Look over there! Oh my god! That's... that's..."
The reporters all turned around, cameras following Jiangnan's gaze!
Under a roadside elm tree, a couple was hugging and kissing, holding each other's faces and going at it with deep passion!
Glancing sideways, the reporters' long guns and short cannons startled the two!
They quickly separated, their faces red!
The reporters all curled their lips—what's so surprising about that?
Just a kiss, right?
When they turned back, where was Jiangnan at the hotel entrance?
He had already taken everyone and teleported away!
Instantly!
All the reporters' faces darkened!
Wasn't this just an upgraded version of "Look! UFO!"?
Damn it!
[From Zhou Ye: Resentment +1000!]
[From Sun Kai: Resentment +666!]
[From...]
Very satisfying!
They made their way to the Jingdu Spirit Martial Association Hall!
At that moment, almost all the contestants had already arrived!
Waiting for the upcoming battle list draw!
The moment Jiangnan walked in, the entire hall fell silent!
Then murmurs erupted!
"Oh! If it isn't Lord Jiang? So you finally decided to show up?"
Jiangnan: "You look like an old madam soliciting customers at a hair salon—just missing a handkerchief!"
[From Ma Hao: Resentment +888!]
"You made so many of us wait for you alone? How can you be so shameless?"
Jiangnan: "I can!"
[From Song Changfeng: Resentment +1000!]
"Pacifier War God? Where's your pacifier? What, weaned? Hahaha!"
Jiangnan: "Didn't wean off milk—I came after having my fill at your house!"
"I'll fucking..."
[From Huang Tianming: Resentment +999!]
A short-haired girl sneered: "Hmph! He's only good with his mouth!"
Jiangnan grinned: "I'm not just good with my mouth—you can try when there's no one around!"
"Well... never mind! Even with the lights off, I can't bring myself to do it with a face like yours!"
The short-haired girl was so choked she stomped her feet!
[From Liang Yu: Resentment +1000!]
At that moment, Jiangnan went full verbal assault, slapping back hard!
A one-man war against the crowd, never backing down!
Damn whoever!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao couldn't help but laugh beside him!
When had they ever seen Jiangnan come out on the losing end?
Thanks for the gifts, my darlings! Spinning around to give you all muah muah!
