Chapter 2813: Whisper
Wu Gang was originally a burly man of the Wujia Clan, with a physique as sturdy as an ox and a body like an iron tower!
But just now, he twisted his body, pinched his fingers in a lotus gesture, and spoke to Jiangnan in a honey-coated, squeaky voice!
Add to that his dense, steel-wool-like beard, chest hair, and shiny bald head!
It was truly a unique flavor~
Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Ugh~
Over on the human side, unrestrained laughter rang out, especially from Xiao Chuihuo, who laughed the most heartily!
(͡°ヮ͡°)✧ "Little Nan! Well done! That's exactly how it should be!"
If all the Star Devourers lose face, then I, Xiao Chuihuo, won't be the only one losing face!
If everyone sacrifices their dignity, then this world will surely become a beautiful place~
Jiangnan's forehead beaded with sweat: (•́ω•̀٥)
"Ah~ It seems the effect of the buff just wore off~"
"Wouldn't it be better to buy more to extend it? Dear Star Devourer ancestors, you don't want your cute looks to be seen by the entire Starry Sky, do you?"
"Of course! You can also choose to bluff your way through being cute—if you're not afraid of losing face!"
Wu Gang was nearly furious, his resentment generating phantom images!
(งᵒ̌┏益┓ᵒ̌)ง "Brother Jiangnan! Do you believe I'll hit you, baby? You're just too bad!"
Jiangnan's face was red from holding back laughter:
(´థжథ)σ "Pfft~ Stop acting cute. Your words have no threatening power at all!"
Wu Gang was frantic. How could this be?
Why couldn't he control himself from speaking in that whiny tone?
Jing Ming gritted his teeth:
(｡･ˇ┏～┓ˇ･)☛ "You little bad guy~ Tell me, baby, how can I get back to normal? Or do you believe I'll cry in front of you?"
Jiangnan barely suppressed his laughter:
(´థ⥎థ) "No way~ Just wait for the side effects to wear off, or you can renew the buff!"
"Or you can cry for them, maybe it'll trigger your opponent's protective instinct, make them pity you, and they might just forfeit!"
(ﾉ)థꇴథ) "But most likely, they'll be disgusted to the point of vomiting! Pfft~ I've already imagined the battle scene of a cute muscular Star Devourer. No, no, let me laugh a bit more, ahahaha..."
Jiangnan crouched on the ground, laughing and pounding the wall. The Star Devourers' gazes could have eaten him alive!
When you sold it to us, you didn't say it would turn out like this!
Even the Carbon Alliance's own Star Devourers glared at Jiangnan resentfully.
It was indeed fierce, but weren't the side effects a bit too much?
Sheng Qingmou stared at his own beard and chest hair, nearly blinding himself.
Du Lulu and Jing Huayue were originally quite beautiful, but after using the Strongman Pill, they became very rough!
Wu Gang and Ye Chou gritted their teeth so hard they nearly shattered. What could they do?
They had to pay up!
They couldn't go to the battlefield pinching and punching each other's chests, saying, "You're so bad, you little rascal~"
Who would want to watch that?
Besides, with Carbon Alliance members using buffs to stir things up, they had no choice but to use them too!
Otherwise, some might lose their promotion qualifications, and others might fail their challenge and lose 1.5 million!
So Jiangnan made another hefty sale!
Every step was a trap, every trap different!
Since Yang Jian was the one collecting the money, he charged exorbitant prices, making those Star Devourers feel like complete suckers!
They wanted to argue and haggle with Yang Jian, but the words that came out of their mouths became:
(ʃƪᵒ̴̶̷̥́┏～┓ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "Ah~ Gege~ Brother Yang Jian~ Little Jian Jian! Just say yes to me, okay~ Baby is having such a hard time. Can't you pity me a little? Please~"
Yang Jian's eyes bulged wide, and he turned around to vomit!
They continued haggling, tugging at Yang Jian's sleeve and twisting:
(ʃƪᵒ̶̶̷̀┏3┓˂̶́) "Is it okay, gege~?"
Yang Jian:!!!
Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠)_ "Ugh~ Ugh wa! Fine! Sell! Sell it to you! Stop making that damn sound! Ugh~"
Earning a little money these days isn't easy either, is it?
After the participating Star Devourers bled a huge amount during the challenge matches,
the first round of challenges proceeded in full swing!
Some groups had a relatively normal style, but not all Star Devourers were willing to spend money to renew the Strongman Pill.
Thus, some battle scenes were extremely bizarre!
For example, when unleashing a powerful move, they would shout:
"Die already, little stinky baby~"
Or "Star-Crushing Fist," "Demon-Demon Possession," "Carbon-Silk Cutting Chop"—none of them had a normal style!
They didn't look like the pinnacle duels of the Starry Sky's top experts at all!
Instead, they were like a large-scale live tear-down show between two muscular cute guys!
The people of the Starry Sky Races were dumbfounded, watching with great interest!
After all, such a bizarre scene wasn't something you could see anytime!
The challenge matches were in full swing!
However, Jiangnan wasn't very concerned about the results and progress of the matches. Instead, he was thinking about how to squeeze another wave of money from them.
Meanwhile, in the Shenzang Jiutu, the black-gray dust and ashes were heavier than before!
Wang Youzhi looked around suspiciously, frowning.
Something didn't seem right.
Just as Jiangnan was focused on his money-making plan, a faint whisper suddenly reached his ears!
The voice was very weak, to the point of being indistinct!
It was as if someone was softly murmuring beside his ear!
"Hey... you...?"
The voice was very familiar, as if he'd heard it somewhere before, but Jiangnan couldn't recall where!
This whisper stunned Jiangnan!
Σ(°△°|||) Huh? Damn it?
Who dares to transmit a message and scold me?
And it's a female voice...
Is it some Star Devourer who just got ripped off by me, feeling indignant, secretly cursing me?
Pretty clean execution, huh? But I've got my tricks!
Jiangnan closed his eyes. In the darkness, countless crystalline threads of cause and effect appeared!
But he was shocked to find that the voice just now had no causal threads at all!
No causal strands were connected to it!
It was like a rootless duckweed, just ringing in his ears!
Jiangnan was stunned. Everything has cause and effect. Nothing happens without leaving traces.
How could it not be tainted by any cause and effect?
Among all the Star Devourers present, there shouldn't be such an impressive existence, right?
Or maybe because they were in the Shenzang Jiutu, where everything was chaotic and disordered, cause and effect could not be traced?
Jiangnan frowned. Was it some old world will in the Shenzang Jiutu talking to him?
Coming all the way just to scold me?
Does the old world will have nothing better to do?
Jiangnan still thought it was some Star Devourer, so he glanced around at the various Star Devourers!
(ง◔皿◔ิ)ง
Gritting his teeth so hard they creaked!
Yang Jian beside him broke out in a cold sweat. Hey, we're making money, but you don't have to go this far!
The look in your eyes is like you want to strip them down to their underwear!
However, Jiangnan wasn't the only one experiencing something strange.
Leaning against the wall, Jiang Fan watched the arena with calm, unruffled eyes.
But in his heart, a whisper sounded. It wasn't a single person's voice but a combination of multiple voices, indistinguishable between male and female.
"Do you... hate this world?"
Jiang Fan's gaze sharpened as he scanned the entire venue. Then he sneered, closed his eyes, and activated his full perception!
Still, there was no gain!
His body emitted strange fluctuations, and then he resumed his original posture, looking toward the battlefield.
But deep inside the Shenzang Jiutu, amidst the endless dense black dust and ashes,
the void currents there were even mixed with traces of dark red blood!
Extreme chaos filled every corner!
The next moment, a void fluctuation flashed!
A four-dimensional figure stepped out from the higher dimension, holding a starlight sword, gradually revealing itself.
It was Jiang Fan's starlight clone. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's as he scanned the surroundings and barked:
"What the hell are you? Get out of here! Stop playing tricks and say what you have to say!"
"Was it you mumbling just now? The deceased will of an old era?"
"If you're already dead, don't come out to disturb the living. Don't you know it's annoying?"
"Speak!"
At that moment, Jiang Fan's body erupted with intense starlight, like a brilliant meteor, stirring things up deep within the Shenzang Jiutu!
Wherever the starlight shone, whether dust, ashes, or anything else, everything was crushed!
Jiang Fan recklessly destroyed everything!
But no matter how he destroyed, the place remained unresponsive!
Nor did the voice in his heart sound again!
Jiang Fan's expression turned cold: "I don't care what you want to do. Just don't mess with me!"
"Otherwise, I won't mind letting you die a second time!"
"Don't doubt whether I can do it!"
"And... don't speak in my heart casually. It's annoying!"
With that, the starlight clone exploded violently, the starlight blazing intensely, stirring the depths of the Shenzang Jiutu into turmoil!
Until Jiang Fan's starlight clone disappeared, there was no reaction!
In the Zhongzang Land, Jiang Fan stood against the wall, holding his shoulders, and snorted coldly!
"Hmph, a bunch of shady snakes and rats!"
Meanwhile, Xiao Chuihuo, who was enjoying the challenge matches with gusto, also paused!
He felt a slight chill on his back, as if some murmuring voice echoed in his ears!
Xiao Chuihuo squinted, turned back to look into the chaotic black void, his gaze chilly!
Whatever it was,
don't mess with me!
On the side, Wang Youzhi watched the reactions of Jiangnan, Xiao Chuihuo, and Jiang Fan, and his head grew even bigger.
These three... all had the potential of the Cosmos Realm, after all.
What's going on?
Besides the three of them, no one else seemed to notice anything unusual, not even Qian Li!
The challenge matches continued normally and were almost over!
After determining the final list of qualifiers, a new round of grouping would begin. Jiangnan was still staring wide-eyed, searching around.
Damn it, let me find out who scolded me!
I hold grudges very seriously!
