Chapter 418: Calm Down! You Can't Beat Him!
The academy leadership had to pay a heavy price to secure the freedom of those little cats!
If you mess with Jiangnan again? What if you get caught again?
Dean Xiao's last shred of face would be wiped clean off!
Get caught by the rats, then have the higher-ups spend favors to bail us out?
What a disgrace!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious as he bowed deeply to the 54 bruised and battered senior students.
"Thank you for your sacrifices, seniors!"
"Your spirit of enduring beatings, getting beaten until you spit blood and meow like cats just to help us complete the test—that's something every one of us should learn from!"
"Salute!"
[From Lin Chen's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Liuli's Resentment Value...]
[From Chang Fa...]
...
In an instant, the resentment values exploded!
Are you trying to piss us off or praise us?!
Why does it make me want to hit you so badly?!
Can you please stop rubbing salt into our wounds?!
Even though you beat us until we don't look human, you're the real dog here!
Lin Chen, with a face like a pig's head: "I... I thank you!"
Jiangnan beamed brightly: "Hey, why are you being so polite with me?!"
Guan Hu's face turned pitch black!
You call this good acting?!
I have nothing to say!
He turned and walked out of the Toy House. He just couldn't watch anymore!
Jiangnan chuckled, picking out 30 people from the crowd.
These were the ones who came with him—Leng Yan, Ning Youyou, Qi Yu, Ye Xinghe, and the others.
"So, Coach Hu just said we performed so well that we passed the test directly. We just wait here until it's over!"
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Then they were hit by a huge wave of joy, so excited they could jump!
Coach Hu, my ass!
This is obviously some kind of under-the-table deal! You even hesitated while reading out the names earlier. Obviously, you decided this yourself!
Dozens of grateful gazes turned toward Jiangnan.
"Nan Shen is amazing! I've got nothing to say!"
"Thank you!"
"Hey! You're the best!"
"Sure enough, following Nan Shen, even if there's no meat, there's soup to drink!"
Unlike the excited group, the other little mice's faces instantly turned white!
Nan Shen has made it ashore! The cats are released! And we didn't hold back when catching those cats earlier!
You're setting us up for disaster!
Looking at the 54 bristling, bruised cats, they all turned and ran without a second word!
Whoosh—they vanished without a trace!
The old cats turned and chased after them, their faces full of indignation!
"Little bastards, don't run! I can't beat Jiangnan, but I can sure beat you!"
"You! You didn't hold back earlier! You just wait!"
"That kid who knocked out one of my front teeth! Step up! I promise I won't kill you!"
[From Liu Chuanfeng's Resentment Value +666!]
[From...]
Jiangnan pouted.
These people are weird! I saved them, and they're still mad at me!
Ingrates! Hmph! (￣^￣)
In a few moments, only Jiangnan and his 30 were left below the lighthouse.
Qi Yu scratched his head: "What do we do now?"
Jiangnan opened the Alternate Dimension directly!
With a brilliant smile: "So... want to throw a party to celebrate getting admitted?"
...
Without Jiangnan causing trouble, the old cats finally let loose!
They caught wildly!
Once caught, they didn't bother sending them back to camp. If it wasn't too far, they went straight to the lighthouse.
A team of 8 old cats managed to bring back 20 little mice!
From far off, they saw the lighthouse area brightly lit, with loud, rowdy music echoing out.
The old cats looked confused. What's going on now?
When they reached the lighthouse, they were completely stunned by the scene before them!
In the middle of the green lawn, a huge bonfire was burning!
An earth-element ability user had created a spectacular swimming pool!
A water-element ability user had filled it with water!
There were people grilling skewers, playing old-school video games, playing Landlords, and dancing!
People were splashing in the pool!
Jiangnan stood on a Spatial Barrier in the sky!
He was holding a suona, playing "Natural"!
The high-pitched sound of the suona, combined with the roaring music from the speakers, brought the whole place to life!
Beside him, Zhong Yingxue sent dozens of Crimson Lotus Explosive Fireballs into the sky, like fireworks exploding. The scene was breathtaking!
"No way? This song can be played on a suona too?"
"Nan Shen is amazing! I've got goosebumps!"
"Literally ascending to heaven? Is there anything Nan Shen can't do?"
"Uh... give birth?"
"Hurry! Everyone lie down and listen! That's the minimum respect for the suona!"
At this moment, the old cats who had brought back the mice were completely dumbfounded!
Hey hey hey! Are you kidding me?!
Now these little mice are this cocky? Having a party at the lighthouse?
You're slapping us old cats in the face!
"Brothers! Charge! There's only 30! We can take them!"
"So arrogant! Who's that guy playing suona in the sky?"
"Get him! Does he think we're nothing?!"
"He's practically shitting on our heads! What's with this attitude?"
A few old cats, red-eyed, were about to charge!
At that moment, a bruised cat—Chang Fa—got anxious and rushed to the front, ignoring everything!
"Brothers! Listen to me! That's Jiangnan! It's Jiangnan!"
"So what if it's Jiangnan? We still need to catch him!"
"What are you afraid of?!"
Chang Fa's face darkened: "You really haven't been beaten by the real world yet!"
"Five temporary camps were all taken down by Jiangnan's team. They captured all of us!"
"He caught 54 out of 100 mice! You're lucky you didn't fall into his hands!"
"Coach Hu had to come forward, gave him favors, and only then did he let us go!"
"Don't provoke him again! If he catches you again, he'll definitely use you to trade for Spirit Beads! Wuwuwu..."
As he spoke, Chang Fa started crying in grievance.
Several old cats were dumbfounded!
He's that fierce? No wonder we met several cats with bruised faces on the road!
When we asked what happened, they stammered and didn't want to say, only uttering one sentence:
"Alas... just retreat in front of Nan."
The little mice who were caught were also stunned!
Same nine years of compulsory education, but why are you so outstanding?!
A group of people arrived at the lighthouse, sending the mice to be eliminated.
Smelling the aroma of grilled skewers, listening to the explosive music, watching the girls splashing in the pool—
They were filled with envy, jealousy, and hate!
How infuriating!
[From Feng Xin's Resentment Value +999!]
[From Huo Hua's Resentment Value +666!]
[From...]
"Damn it! No! I can't swallow this!"
"Hey, you up there playing suona! Come down! Fight me one-on-one! I don't believe you can beat me!"
Jiangnan:
╭∩╮(͡⚆͜ʖ͡⚆)╭∩╮
"Come at me!"
Feng Xin: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)
"You really haven't been beaten! Come down! Get down here!"
[From Feng Xin's Resentment Value +1000!]
Chang Fa panicked! He pounced on Feng Xin and tackled him to the ground!
"Don't provoke him! You can't beat him! Even the Long-Haired Witch went bald! Wei Teng was chopped down with a green onion by him! You'd get wrecked too!"
Feng Xin: "Let go! I don't believe it!"
Chang Fa: !!!
"Brother! I'm trying to save you! Why don't you appreciate it! Quick! Someone drag him away!"
The other old cats dragged Feng Xin away.
Jiangnan looked disappointed. Just a little more, and he'd have gotten the Spirit Beads!
I'm acting so arrogant, and still no one wants to fight me?
At this moment, the 20 new students being eliminated at the lighthouse looked at Jiangnan like he was a god!
We just want to know—
How did you make these old cats so scared of you?!
This game of cat and mouse took a full 40 hours to complete!
The old cats stood at the lighthouse, breathing a heavy sigh of relief.
The nightmare... is finally over!
