# Chapter 587: Developing New Clients
Everyone's gaze turned to Gao Xingyu, with a hint of shock in their eyes!
No way!
Nan Shen is already this freakishly strong, and someone still wants to fight him?
Gao Xingyu is indeed recognized as powerful in the school year, but Nan Shen...
He's not even human, dammit!
Xia Yao was so angry she stomped her feet, her little face turned to the other side!
Hmph! How annoying!
Xiao Chuihuo's eyes lit up: "Well, at least there's one with some guts! You fight Jiangnan, if you can beat him, first place goes to you!"
Secretly, he also felt a bit of anticipation—maybe this kid could actually beat that brat Jiangnan!
The explosion just now wasn't small!
If that were the case, it'd be good to let Jiangnan eat some humble pie!
Everyone was stunned. No way? An actual fight?
Gao Xingyu also looked at Jiangnan, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
Jiangnan grinned: "Sure! Get on the platform!"
On the platform, Jiangnan stood casually with his hands in his pockets!
Meanwhile, Gao Xingyu had a solemn expression, spiritual energy surging violently!
Gold Eight level was absolutely rare for his age!
Gao Xingyu looked at Jiangnan with hands in his pockets and frowned slightly: "Still keeping your hands in your pockets? Jiangnan! I hope you drop the joking attitude and take this match against me seriously!"
"Otherwise! You might get hurt. Until I lose consciousness, I won't give up in this match!"
Jiangnan was startled, then his face darkened.
Where the hell am I not being serious?
I'm being very serious, okay?
Do I really have to take my hands out?
╭∩╮(｡˘•～•˘｡)╭∩╮
Is this good enough?
Gao Xingyu: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง
Still flipping me off?
Ahhh!
And the rings on both fingers have MB written on them?
Who are you looking down on?
[From Gao Xingyu, Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Gao Xingyu...]
"Hmph! Looking down on me, huh? Just you wait!"
"Blood Creation Activation!"
In an instant, Gao Xingyu's face turned red, blood vessels bulged, and blood dripped rapidly from his scratched fingertip!
Jiangnan rolled his eyes!
You told me not to keep my hands in my pockets, so why are you getting so worked up?
So strange!
Fine, I'll be serious for once!
Just as he was about to grab his halberd, Jiangnan's face darkened even more.
Both my hands are flipping someone off, how am I supposed to grab a halberd, dammit!
Xiao Jiuwo, who had been watching Jiangnan's expression intently, said sweetly, "Master～ let me help you!"
With that, she picked up Jiangnan's halberd and stuffed the shaft into the little hollow of Jiangnan's left palm!
Jiangnan felt so touched inside. How was this a spirit pet? It was like marrying a little wife and bringing her home!
Holding the halberd while flipping someone off was a bit awkward, but at least he could hold it.
On the platform, the referee: "Are you both ready?"
The two nodded!
Everyone present held their breath!
The referee dropped his hand: "Begin!"
"Boom!"
The marble platform cracked under Jiangnan's stomp!
With the massive force plus teleportation, within microseconds, Jiangnan had already rushed in front of Gao Xingyu!
The blood-drinking halberd swung horizontally in a brutal arc, the sound of air splitting deafening!
Gao Xingyu had barely heard the referee's words when, in a daze, Jiangnan was already upon him!
What flickered in Jiangnan's eyes was biting sharpness, rolling killing intent like black clouds pressing down on a city!
In that moment, Gao Xingyu's perception of Jiangnan magnified infinitely, pressing down like a green mountain!
It no longer seemed like Jiangnan, but a ferocious wolf tearing at its prey's throat!
Gao Xingyu's face turned pale, his hands and feet icy cold, as if falling into an ice cellar, his heart shrouded by immense fear!
His body froze in place, unable to move even if he wanted to!
Would he die?
Surely he would die, right?
No! This is a match! Jiangnan won't kill me!
Move! Move, dammit!
Gao Xingyu gritted his steel teeth, his eyes splitting!
Just as he was about to raise his hand!
The blood-drinking halberd Jiangnan had swung out violently came to a dead stop right in front of Gao Xingyu's neck!
From extreme motion to extreme stillness—just an instant!
But the gale it stirred up blew Gao Xingyu's long hair wildly, dust and smoke swirling on the platform!
"Boom!"
The marble wall at the edge of the arena actually cracked from the force of the wind!
In that moment! The entire venue fell silent!
Jiangnan stood expressionless in front of Gao Xingyu, the halberd already horizontal across his neck!
Even the referee was stunned!
I just barely said "begin," and it's already over?
All the trainees widened their eyes, utterly incredulous!
"Sigh～ Nan Shen doesn't even need three seconds anymore?"
"I didn't even see it, dammit! That halberd strike was insane. If Nan Shen hadn't stopped, Gao Xingyu's head would be gone!"
"Why didn't Gao Xingyu move? He had a chance to counter! How did he get taken down that easily?"
Ye Xinghe: "Ha～ Move? You think it's that easy? Try standing in front of Nan Shen yourself! That deathlike fear! I never want to experience it a second time!"
Ever since that last fight with Jiangnan in the Jade Dragon Spirit Ruins, Ye Xinghe had felt it!
That battle-hardened killing intent from the battlefield was no joke!
And Jiangnan now was even stronger than back then!
Xiao Chuihuo on the bleachers wasn't surprised by this result.
He said calmly, "See that? The difference between a killing sword and an ornamental sword!"
"Gao Xingyu is still a bit green!"
Zhao Dezhu smiled bitterly, "Jiangnan is young, but he's been roaming the world, hands already stained with blood. Pressure suppression? Tsk tsk tsk～"
"Let these sprouts go out and get some real experience!"
Xiao Chuihuo said worriedly, "But then people will die again. Sigh～"
Why were there only just over three hundred old students left?
This was the reason!
Xiao Chuihuo didn't want to let new trainees venture out too early; he wanted them to learn more life-saving skills at the academy.
But what must be experienced will eventually be experienced.
Why was Jiangnan terrifyingly strong?
Simply because he had gone through it all earlier than anyone else!
Gao Xingyu's face was pale, with a bitter smile. In that short time, cold sweat had soaked his back!
A serious Jiangnan was absolutely suffocating!
"I... I concede!"
Though unwilling, at this stage, he was no match for Jiangnan! Even ten of him wouldn't be enough!
Jiangnan withdrew his halberd and smiled brightly: "Your ability has great potential! But you need to understand, on the battlefield, there's no referee shouting 'begin'! And there's no winning or losing!"
"The one who survives is the winner; the ones who lose are all dead!"
Gao Xingyu bit his lower lip hard and nodded heavily!
Jiangnan pulled out a Vitality Ginseng and tossed it to Gao Xingyu: "Here～ Eat one, and you'll discover a new world. Next time you want one, it'll cost you some money!"
Jiangnan wasn't stingy about developing his client base. This was called hunger marketing!
Gao Xingyu was stunned, looking at the shriveled, ugly ginseng with confusion.
A new world? Is it really that miraculous?
He just stuffed it into his mouth and ate it!
The next moment, Gao Xingyu's eyes widened, his face turning red. His fingertips were like high-pressure water guns, spraying blood wildly!
Blood sprayed from under his nostrils three meters away!
Gao Xingyu was dumbfounded, his face full of excitement!
Holy crap! What terrifying blood-creation effect is this?
Compared to this little ginseng, his own specialty was complete garbage!
His blood could explode! If he paired it with this ginseng?
Wouldn't he take off on the spot?
"Holy crap! Nan Shen, you got more? How much? I'll buy!"
Jiangnan chuckled, pulled out his vendor cloth, and spread it on the platform, pulling out ginseng after ginseng!
"100,000 each, no bargaining!"
Gao Xingyu's eyes lit up: "Give me 100 first! Transfer! Transfer!"
...
At this moment, watching Jiangnan lay out his vendor cloth on the platform, all the trainees covered their faces!
What kind of nonsense is this?!
Wasn't this supposed to be the decisive battle for the top spot?
How did it turn into a street vendor setup?
Why does everything related to Nan Shen always end up turning into a street stall, dammit!
Xiao Chuihuo's face darkened: "Go, go, go! Set up somewhere else! I already gave you first place, don't disturb their matches here!"
Jiangnan pouted. Fine, I won't set up here!
He had already gotten ten million anyway. He packed up his vendor cloth, slung it over his back, and headed toward the old student area!
I'll set up over there!
Everyone covered their faces again!
So this is our school year's top student?
He never forgets to run his little street stall, no matter the time!
Xia Yao pouted. Did Xiao Nan forget about the bet?
Meanwhile, the old students watched Jiangnan heading their way with his vendor cloth and shuddered collectively!
Is he coming to mess with us again?
Don't you dare come over here!
But Jiangnan's little mental abacus was clicking away. The new students' matches weren't worth watching.
The old students' elimination rounds, however, were intensely fierce—the perfect opportunity to sell goods!
Watch me scam... no, watch me drain all your pocket money!
