# Chapter 586: How About Letting Me Have Some Sense of Participation? (Fourth Update)
Gao Xingyu, poked by Jiangnan's finger, convulsed all over and froze in place!
The expression on his face was absolutely spectacular!
He was completely furious!
After barely making it through the match, why did you have to poke me?
Aaaah! You're not human!

Meanwhile, Jiangnan had his hands in his pockets, pretending he hadn't done anything, whistling as he strolled away...
Xu~ (´◔ε◔`)
...
Hearing Han Menglu's match end notification, everyone still standing on the desert battlefield couldn't help but shed tears of emotion!
The only reason they were still standing wasn't because of their strength! It was luck!
It was because Jiangnan hadn't come to collect their heads...
The fog dispersed, sunlight poured down, and the surviving students finally got a clear view of the whole scene!
They saw over a hundred people lying on the desert, covered in yellow dirt, foaming at the mouth!
Looking at the "group photo" of over two hundred people embedded in the marble wall!
The lucky students shivered violently!
Nanshen was way too inhumane!
You embedded them all in the wall?
Did you create a wall of merit or something?
Does it have to be this cruel?
What was even more despairing was that everyone in the Cut Down Southern Alliance, every single guy, was wearing nothing but underwear!
That was the only property Jiangnan had left them; everything else had been stripped clean by the Void Black Hole!
All had been poisoned by the Diamond Giant Durian!
Looking at Jiangnan again, he stood on a sand dune with his hands in his pockets, looking completely relaxed!
Fresh and clean, not even a scratch, let alone a wound...
"The facts prove it! Nanshen really is a god! So powerful it's despairing, you know?"
"No! This is impossible! I don't believe it! E hahaha! Don't hold me back! I'm not crazy!"
"This isn't a gap, it's a chasm! I can't even see Nanshen's shadow, how can I catch up? We're not even in the same dimension! Wuwah~"
"Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Ugh~ Save me! Save me! It stinks like crazy! Hell is nothing compared to this!"
At this moment, the surviving students couldn't help but redden their eyes, tears streaming down! Was it emotion? Relief? Or despair?
Some had hollow eyes, as if their souls had been lost; some girls sat on the ground, wiping their tears with the backs of their hands, feeling terribly wronged!
Ye Xinghe spat out a mouthful of old blood, looked at the photo wall of over two hundred people, sucked in a cold breath, and gave Jiangnan a thumbs up!
Awesome!
Tao Xinyi looked relieved, her eyes full of little stars at Jiangnan!
At this moment, including Jiangnan, there were 23 people left from Class 10!
The other nine classes took up the remaining spots, with only seven or eight people per class!
This had basically secured Class 10's top positions in the ranking battle!
The other nine mentors had faces blacker than coal balls. Losing the match wasn't the problem; the psychological blow was the hardest to deal with!
If they'd known this would happen, they shouldn't have let Jiangnan participate in the match!
At this moment, a group of nurses wearing gas masks worked extremely hard to pry the over two hundred people off the photo wall!
They carried them on stretchers to Li Bing, looking very anxious!
"Sister Li Bing, what's wrong with them? We can't cure them?"
"Exactly! Their injuries have healed, but why can't they move? How strange!"
"They're all staring with their eyes wide open, looking like they're in a lot of pain!"
Li Bing pinched her nose, couldn't help thinking of Ye Zhenguo screaming from Jiangnan's poke, and couldn't hold back her laughter!
"Take them away! Don't worry about them! They'll be fine in a while. That little rascal Jiangnan has a sense of restraint!"
Wang Dong and the others were getting anxious!
What do you mean "fine in a while"?
We're in a lot of pain, you know? Our whole bodies are paralyzed and we can't move!
Can you at least try to treat us?
What kind of acupressure technique is Jiangnan's? Even recovery spiritual techniques can't cure it?

[From...]
At this moment, the senior students were also buzzing about the desert battlefield. After all, that photo wall was way too shocking!
Wei Teng said excitedly, "I really want to fight Master again, I..."
Niu Dabiao rolled his eyes: "You should be grateful! Count yourself lucky you're not in the same year as Jiangnan! Otherwise, we'd be the ones getting messed up!"
At this moment, Xiao Chuihuo, whose face was pitch black, was cursing on the viewing platform, spit flying everywhere!
"Huh? Tell me! Did you do that on purpose?"
"I think you just wanted to blow me up!"
"I swear I'll never let you participate in this kind of activity again, or I'll change my name to read backward!"
Jiangnan looked at the viewing platform in shock, startled into a shiver: "Diu—why is the Dean's face so dark? Did Big Black infect him?"
"What's he saying over there? He's so excited! Must be angry at those useless students, right?"
Zhong Yingxue couldn't hold back her laughter!
Are you sure the Dean isn't talking about you?
The desert venue was cleared; this venue was basically unusable now!
The advancement list was submitted, and the match list was randomized!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Menglu also began constructing the stage for the advancement and ranking matches!
An hour later, on the benches in the rest area at the edge of the arena!
The atmosphere in the Class 10 area was quite lively, everyone discussing the flying Gundam from earlier. Yu Qingqing even fed snacks to Xiao Jiuwo to reward her!
Looking over at Classes 1-9, their faces were dark, as if they'd lost all their dreams!
"Ugh—I'm gonna puke. What the hell is this smell on me? Can't wash it off! Such a waste of my soap!"
"Even marinating in a cesspool for 18 years wouldn't be this strong!"
"What do we do! Not only did we not make the top 100, but we also stink like this. My girlfriend won't want me anymore..."
Cursing while vomiting, the area in front of the benches was covered in enough vomit to be pixelated!
That scene? Yi—
"That damn Jiangnan, let's go reason with him and make him explain! Come on, come on!"
"Exactly! How are we supposed to face people smelling like this?"
Immediately, three or four hundred people stood up and glared fiercely at Jiangnan!
However, Jiangnan didn't want to talk and simply raised both middle fingers at the crowd!
The group immediately shrank their necks and sat down in perfect unison!
"Ah... well... I actually kind of like this lingering fragrance too—ugh!"
"A stinky man is a stinky man! You gotta be a little stinky! It's called manliness! We should even thank Nanshen!"
"Yeah! We can only blame ourselves for being inferior in skill, how could we blame Nanshen?"
"Nanshen was actually pretty decent; he only made me spit three mouthfuls of blood and knocked out two front teeth! He didn't go all out!"
Gao Xingyu covered his face!
You guys need to be this cowardly? And you still want to reason with Jiangnan?
Jiangnan doesn't even reason!
Just then, the top 100 match list and the elimination ranking match list were both released!
All displayed on the holographic projection above the arena!
Before Jiangnan could even look!
A mournful wail echoed through the sky, like that groundhog howling by the roadside!
A Gold Rank 8 strong man knelt on the ground, holding his head and crying, his face full of grief!
"Why? Why has heaven been so unfair to me! I barely made it to the top 100!"
"Why do I have to face Nanshen! How the hell can anyone beat him!"
ᕙ(|||꒦ິkou꒦ີ)ᕗ—Ah!
"I forfeit!"
Jiangnan: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)ˀ̣ˀ̣
The match list had been out for less than 10 seconds, and I already won one match?
Xia Yao covered her mouth and snickered: "I'll bet a kiss that you'll be sitting on the bench until the end!"
Wu Liang covered his face!
I think you just want to kiss Brother Nan!
Jiangnan laughed: "How is that possible? You're underestimating the heroes of the world too much!"
Xia Yao said confidently: "Just wait and see!"
Then she went to the stage for the ranking match. There were many stages, enough for everyone to compete simultaneously!
Zhong Yingxue and the others easily defeated their opponents and advanced to the top 50!
As soon as the second wave of matchups came out!
A short-haired girl saw her matchup and immediately started crying!
"Wuwah—no! I don't want to fight that demon! He'll beat me to death! I forfeit!"
Jiangnan: ...
As soon as the third wave of matchups came out!
"Ah! Heaven! Earth! What was the point of all my struggles along the way! I've had the worst luck ever to run into Nanshen! I forfeit..."
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)
Seriously!
It's been three rounds already!
My butt hasn't left the bench even once!
How about letting me have some sense of participation, okay?
If this keeps up, I'll be guaranteed a spot in the top ten!
Xia Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead, her pretty face full of triumph!
Haha! You're definitely going to kiss me!
Even if I lose, I'll kiss you—so I don't lose either way!
But the meaning is different!
At this moment, on the viewing platform, even Xiao Chuihuo couldn't stand it anymore!
Their confidence had been too badly crushed!
Every time they ran into Jiangnan, they'd cry and whine. What kind of behavior was that?
They'd completely lost all face, you know?
He directly announced: "In this year's ranking match, let's just give Jiangnan first place directly. What's the point of competing anymore?"
"Does anyone object? If not, let's just give it to this little brat!"
Jiangnan was stunned!
Diu—really getting first place directly?
Do we have to be this perfunctory? At least go through the motions, you know? This is making me really embarrassed!
All the students shook their heads. After what just happened with the photo wall, who would dare object?
Xia Yao was ecstatic! Grandpa Dean, thank you!
You're so great!
Just then, Gao Xingyu took a deep breath and said: "I! I object!"
Xia Yao: (｡•ˇ～ˇ•｡)
So frustrating!
