Chapter 298: Don’t Interrupt Me When I’m Talking
At this moment, the entire Spirit Pool was dead silent!
So quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Chu Tianba sat amidst a "blizzard of goose feathers," surrounded by "clouds and mist"!
The man himself was just...
Sigh! Ethereal and immortal-like!
"Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Ugh! I’m gonna throw up!"
"Gross! Chu Tianba, how much grievance have you suffered?!"
"Pfft hahaha! Up top, not a sound; down below, it’s quite the party! Haha!"
"Told you to take the upper road! How’d you end up on the lower road? Ha ha ha!"
"That fart! It’s really something! Sending a man flying is a must!"
"His pants are blown to bits, and he’s still hanging in there? Nan Shen’s got shorts over there! Want a pair?"
A sudden blast on flat ground!
Stunned the entire audience!
The contestants were laughing their heads off!
Chu Tianba’s face was truly red as a beet this time!
In all my years, have I ever been this loud?
I weigh 170 jin! And it lifted me 5 centimeters?
What kind of power is that?
I can’t show my face anymore, alright?
Su Die looked utterly horrified, fleeing from the scene as if escaping death!
"Die! Where are you going?"
Su Die said disdainfully, "I’m getting away from you. You stink!"
Chu Tianba panicked and quickly explained, "Die! No! Listen to me! I—"
"Bam!"
A thunderous roar, and the down feathers flew again!
"It’s not what you—"
"Bam!"
"This fart, it wasn’t me—"
"Bam!"
"Don’t reject me, I—"
"Bam!"
Chu Tianba: !!!
He turned around and slapped his own rear!
"Can you just let me finish talking, dammit? Don’t interrupt me!"
"When I’m talking, don’t butt in!"
At this moment, everyone was stunned!
Holy crap!
What’s this?
Are you two a system or something?
Is this the legendary "I get so mad I even hit myself"?
Su Die was about to lose it, covering her nose: "Don’t come near me! It stinks to death!"
Chu Tianba got frantic: "How could it stink? Loud farts aren’t smelly! Smelly farts aren’t loud!"
"Here, smell it yourself... Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Ugh!"
Chu Tianba knelt on the ground and retched!
"Bam!"
A burst of down feathers floated out through the tear...
Su Die: !!!
Even a ghost wouldn’t believe that, alright?
For a moment, the Spirit Pool was filled with an indescribable smell!
Jiangnan calmly pulled a bunch of gas masks out of the Alternate Dimension!
He put them on Zhong Yingxue and the others!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Such thorough preparation?
Is your Alternate Dimension some kind of magic pouch or what?
Xia Yao mysteriously crept up to Jiangnan and whispered in his ear: "Little Nan! Did you secretly slip some Detoxifying Soybeans in there again?"
Jiangnan grinned slyly: "You’re the smart one! Little clever ghost!"
Xia Yao’s big eyes curved into crescent moons: "You’re so bad~"
"I just love the bad ones! Haha!"
Jiangnan looked smug; when it came to slipping Detoxifying Soybeans, he’d never been outdone!
Then Xia Yao ran over to Zhong Yingxue: "Snowy! From now on, don’t just eat whatever Little Nan gives you, got it?"
"He’s too mischievous! You’ll get caught off guard!"
Jiangnan: ???
At this point, even Chen Xuan couldn’t hold back, covering his nose!
"Contestant! Please, control yourself!"
Chu Tianba was about to cry. I really wish I could control it!
If I could control it, I would!
Now I have to listen to it!
[From Chu Tianba: Resentment +1000!]
At this moment, his gaze at Jiangnan could kill!
It must be the Jumping Candy’s fault!
But what good did knowing that do?
Try making a move in the Spirit Pool?
The Jumping Candy was bought by himself, and eaten by himself!
Chu Tianba was going insane. By now, the effects of the Jumping Candy had fully kicked in!
Everyone was trying to focus on training!
But they all had to endure the poisonous gas attacks, a truly agonizing experience!
Chu Tianba didn’t want to waste time either!
The moment he sat down to train, he couldn’t control himself, letting out one blast after another!
The down in his pants was almost all gone!
"Consider it a plea from us! Go to the bathroom!"
"We can’t stay here anymore!"
"Stop blasting! Spare us! You’re even worse than Nan Shen!"
Chu Tianba couldn’t stay any longer, because by now he didn’t even know what was coming out anymore!
Clutching his pants, which were still shedding down feathers, he rushed straight to the restroom!
Gone for half an hour!
When he came out, his face had turned a full shade paler!
He sat back down for just five minutes!
Then another half hour!
...
One day passed!
Chu Tianba had lost a full ten jin!
He was practically swaying on his feet!
His steel teeth were nearly ground to powder!
What was the use of eating that Jumping Candy?
He hadn’t even managed three hours of training all day!
He spent the entire time in the bathroom!
Over the course of one day, Chu Tianba alone had given Jiangnan a full 100,000 points of resentment!
As for losing face?
He no longer cared!
He’d already lost it all!
Even if Jiangnan gave him Jumping Candy for free now, he wouldn’t dare eat it anymore!
Over the next few days, Jiangnan finally stopped pulling any more tricks!
Instead, he conserved his energy to prepare for the upcoming Hunting Beast Operation!
But the terrifying part was!
On the 14th day, with the help of Jumping Candy, Ye Xinghe broke through like a force of nature!
He smoothly broke through Silver Ten Stars and entered Gold!
This caused quite a stir!
Jiangnan hadn’t expected Ye Xinghe’s momentum to be so fierce!
Plus, the fact that he was originally at Silver Six Stars made it less surprising.
Those who had used the Jumping Candy all saw significant improvements in their strength.
Everyone thought this would be the end.
But no one expected that, just before the end,
Qi Yu from the Xiong Feng Team would follow Ye Xinghe’s lead and also push through to Gold One Star!
In one Spirit Pool training session, two Golds had emerged!
It was easy to imagine that in the subsequent Hunting Beast Operation,
the Xiong Feng Team and the Xinghe Team would hold an absolute advantage!
The originally highly favored Jiangnan Said So Team no longer had such a clear edge.
But Jiangnan wasn’t worried.
Since he had chosen to sell the Jumping Candy, he had already considered this scenario.
Thus, the 15-day Spirit Pool training session officially ended.
At this moment, in the hotel lobby,
the rankings on the screen had been fully finalized!
First place:
Jiangnan Said So Team! Total Points: 230
Second place:
Xinghe Team! Total Points: 150
Third place:
Xiong Feng Team! Total Points: 140
Fourth place:
Qing Ning Team! Total Points: 110
Fifth place:
Qin Ling Team! Total Points: 90
...
With the rankings out, the Jiangnan Said So Team still led by a wide margin, 80 points ahead of second place!
This was already quite terrifying!
How many Spirit Beads would it take to close that gap?
But the outside world had no idea that Jiangnan still had a 27-point IOU in his phone.
As for the originally powerful Tianba Team, they hadn’t even cracked the top ten.
But by now, intense discussions had already erupted online about the ranking list.
"Haha! Nan Shen is still Nan Shen! Before the Hunting Beast Operation, he already scored 230 points. Who else can claim that?"
"This is a first in all these years!"
"I can’t wait to watch the live broadcast of the Hunting Beast Operation!"
"Heh! Don’t get too excited too soon!"
"Don’t forget, second and third place each have a Gold! Little Dragon Man Ye Xinghe! One-Punch Qi Yu! Both are Gold!"
"Even though they just broke through, they’re on a completely different level from Silver! They have absolute advantage!"
"Yeah! The Hunting Beast Operation has too many variables; it could flip at any time!"
"Whatever, whatever! I still support Nan Shen!"
"Membership already paid! Waiting for the live stream!"
