**Chapter 603: Even If It's a God! I'll Kill Him for You**
Jiangnan's words startled Xing Da!
*He's already betting his own season tickets? Those are the Yuanyang Pot tickets!*
*What if something goes wrong? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?*
*Does he really have that much confidence in his own strength?*
But words said are like water spilled—Xing Da couldn't exactly say anything about it.
After confirming the competition rules, the 100 trainees below were so excited their faces flushed red, itching to start immediately.
Even the students in the audience were already looking forward to the live broadcast of the match.
After all, a starting round this explosive had never happened in previous years!
Xing Da didn't waste any time and immediately led the group toward a domed building.
That was precisely the entrance to the spatial gate of Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins.
For top-tier schools like Jingdu Lingda, the campus naturally controlled a Spirit Ruins as a training ground.
The core control lay in the hands of the school administration, though they couldn't achieve the same level of mastery as Han Menglu.
And Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins was a genuine Gold-grade Spirit Ruins.
Most of the spirit beasts inside were Gold-grade, though there were certainly Platinum-grade ones as well.
It was more than suitable as a competition arena.
Xing Da, acting as the guide, walked at the very front, drawing countless eyes along the way.
As he walked, the flip-up toupee on the back of his head flapped up and down.
Every student who saw Xing Da's face went through three distinct expressions.
Σ(ﾟдﾟ๐)
(⑉ԾжԾ⑉)
ꉂꉂ(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๐)
"P-President... hello!"
"Pfft~ The president looks so flashy today!"
"So dazzling!"
Xing Da looked confused. Why did he feel especially popular today?
Every student who saw him had a brilliant smile on their face.
*It must be because I've been working so diligently as president lately, earning the unanimous praise of all students, and they've begun to respect me from the bottom of their hearts!*
*What a wonderful feeling!*
*It even makes my scalp feel cool and my ears and eyes clear!*
But Jiangnan and the others walking behind were about to burst from holding in their laughter as they watched the flapping toupee.
Xia Yao whispered, "Mmm~ Xiao Nan! Is it really okay not to tell Uncle Da?"
Jiangnan put on a serious expression: "Shh~ The president needs to save face, you know? Be a considerate little cutie, got it?"
Passing through the entire campus, the group entered the domed building.
Many staff members were busy collecting Spirit Ruins data.
Xing Da waved his hand grandly: "Open Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins. The training competition will commence immediately. The Spirit Ruins footage will be live-streamed on the school's website. Everyone..."
Before he could finish, all eyes in the hall focused on Xing Da.
First, they froze, then laughter echoed throughout the hall.
┳━┳◟(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅ૂ๑)
People were slapping tables and laughing, some even rolling under the tables.
"Pfft, hahaha! President, your toupee! The toupee!"
"The flap is up! Poor double-sided tape. Let me laugh first!"
Xing Da's smile froze. *Toupee?*
He instinctively reached up and touched his head.
!!!
*How the hell did it flip up?*
*Was it blown by the wind when Jiangnan landed?*
*So I've been walking around with a flipped-up toupee, gave a speech at the award ceremony, and then crossed the entire campus?*
*I...*
[Resentment from Xing Da +1000!]
[Resentment from...]
The resentment instantly maxed out!
*No wonder my scalp felt cool. How could it not be cool?*
*And respect? My dignified and fierce president image is completely ruined!*
Xing Da darkened his face: "Why didn't you remind me?"
Jiangnan: (´◔ з ◔`) *You didn't let me talk either...*
Xing Da covered his face, ripped off the toupee, and threw it to the ground in frustration. *Why bother wearing it anymore?*
*Why did it have to be Jiangnan?*
*What bad luck!*
Seeing Xing Da's embarrassment turn to anger, the staff quickly composed themselves and opened Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins.
The heavy Kibinititanium-Magnesium alloy gate slowly opened. Such precautions were taken to prevent any spirit beasts inside from accidentally breaking out and causing threats.
Jiangnan grinned, pulled out the information on his five-person team, and handed it to Xing Da.
"Copy it and show it to them. I'm handing them the opportunity—don't waste it."
With that, he led Zhong Yingxue and the others straight into the Spirit Ruins.
The trainees' faces turned green.
"This is an insult, a blatant insult! I'm not reading it!"
"Giving us their info? That's like showing us all their cards!"
"Isn't that like handing us the boss raid guide? Slapping us in the face!"
"I'd rather starve than accept handouts. Forget the preparation, Dean! Let us in now!"
But Xing Da, flipping through the documents, looked grave: "Shut up! Anyone who doesn't want to see the info can quit the training right now!"
"He's giving you the raid guide—can you even beat it? Take a good look!"
With that, he handed the documents to the staff for copying and distributed them one by one.
Xing Da was inwardly shocked. The information was extremely detailed, even covering skill range, effects, and so on.
But the more detailed it was, the more worried Xing Da became.
*The data is right here. So what if you know it?*
*Can you beat them?*
*Can a Gold-grade spirit warrior really be this strong?*
At that moment, looking at Jiangnan's team information, the trainees fell silent, their scalps tingling.
Jiangnan had even written down his Eight Gates Discharge and Blood Incineration durations.
Almost no weaknesses—comprehensive development.
Any one of them could stand on their own as a spirit warrior.
When they got to Xiong Er, everyone's brains went blank.
"Wait... can someone explain to me? What's with a Platinum-grade spirit beast?"
"Holy crap! That bear in clothes is a spirit beast with three Gifted Spiritual Arts?"
"Are you kidding me? I remember it was talking just now—it became sentient?"
"A spirit beast is here as one of our instructors? I'm not even as good as a bear?"
Xing Da covered his face: "Who the hell knows how that happened. No one is allowed into Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins before eight o'clock. All of you, go to the prep room and discuss tactics!"
"Don't be afraid of losing face—if we lose, Kyoto Lingda's reputation will be even more humiliated!"
The trainees, though unconvinced, had no choice but to obey Xing Da.
...
Inside Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins, on the top platform of a towering cylindrical stone mountain hundreds of meters high.
The figures of Jiangnan and his five appeared.
Sword Mountain Spirit Ruins wasn't vast, but its spiritual energy was dense.
As far as the eye could see, there were towering cylindrical stone mountains—a typical water-eroded sandstone landscape.
Shrubs grew between the mountains, and piercing beast roars could be heard faintly. In the sky, a number of Gold-grade birds of prey soared.
Jiangnan grinned: "Langmie and Xuexue as a pair—one close-range, one long-range—good enough."
"Brother Bear and Second Bear as a pair—tank and heavy artillery group—also solid."
Zhong Yingxue smiled sweetly: "Mm, Yao Yao and I will find a vantage point right away."
Wu Liang patted his chest: "Don't worry! I won't let Brother Nan down!"
Xiong Er stretched lazily: "Feels like home here! There's plenty of time—Brother and I will recruit some underlings and build up our forces."
Jiangnan covered his face. *Xiong Er's local emperor mode is online again, huh?*
Then he pulled out a few glass jars of durian pulp and some small ginseng, handing them out.
"Take them with you, just in case."
Xia Yao's pretty face was full of excitement: "Xiao Nan, what about you and Xiao Jiuwo?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Me? I'm going to block the door."
"Give this training competition a perfect start."
Seeing the smile on Jiangnan's face, everyone shuddered.
*Perfect start? More like a hell start, right?*
Brother Bear and Second Bear headed east, and soon, miserable beast roars rang out from over there.
Meanwhile, Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue found a sturdy stone mountain to hold their position.
Jiangnan grinned: "Xiao Jiuwo~"
The ever-watchful Xiao Jiuwo smiled sweetly: "Is Master tired? Come rest in my arms for a while. I'll call you when they arrive!"
With that, her body expanded to over twenty meters and lay down on the mountain peak.
Jiangnan pounced into Xiao Jiuwo's embrace, lying on the soft fur, warm and cozy.
|⁼̴ᴗ⁼̴๐)
Afraid Jiangnan might be cold, Xiao Jiuwo spread her wings over him, shielding his entire body in her embrace.
"Master, Master~ Do you want Xiao Jiuwo to sing a lullaby to help you sleep?"
Jiangnan rubbed his cheek against her: "If you keep this up, I'll fall in love with you, I'm telling you."
Xiao Jiuwo: ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧
*Fall in love with me? Then Master won't eat me, right?*
"Xiao Jiuwo will work hard to make Master fall in love with me!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, the trainees who had studied Jiangnan's team's information were brimming with confidence.
Each carried their usual weapons.
The data did show they were strong, but not impossible to beat—there were still opportunities.
The problem was that Jiangnan was too confident, revealing all his cards.
As the gate slowly opened, the trainees' excitement surged.
"No need for talk—go straight for Jiangnan. If we can make him bleed, we get the season tickets. Big chance!"
"Hmph! He'll pay for his arrogance!"
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes: "Son of Death, don't you dare steal my kill later. Others may fear you, but I don't!"
Xiang Zu said calmly: "Whoever grabs it gets it."
Then he turned his gaze to Ye Xingxuan and smiled gently: "You can come with me later—I'll get you a few tickets."
Ye Xingxuan looked pained: "That's the Southern God! Do you even know what you're saying?"
Xiang Zu sneered: "Southern God? Hah—as long as you like, even if it's a god, I'll kill him for you!"
Ye Xingxuan: (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
*God, this guy is so chuunibyou!*
*How could he say something so cheesy out loud?*
*So embarrassing!*
Seeing Ye Xingxuan cover her face, Xiang Zu's lips curled into a smile. *Is she shy?*
*Ultimately won over by my tenderness and looks, huh?*
*Tch—women!*
*Jiangnan, get your neck ready and wait for me!*
