# Chapter 848: Academic Exchange Group
Li Mingshan paced back and forth in his study, feeling restless!
Was Holy Star's Igor planning to make a move on Jiangnan to test if he had taken the Void Nails?
Should he warn him or not?
If he warned him, with that kid Jiangnan's shrewdness, he would definitely sense something off about his identity!
But if he didn't warn him...
If Jiangnan died, who would carry the banner of Hua Xia's Space System in the future?
However, thinking that Jiangnan was currently at Pioneer Academy, and that Bose Body named Jiangning was following him!
Li Mingshan felt a bit more at ease!
Igor wouldn't be stupid enough to charge into Pioneer Academy and make a move, right?
That bunch of old geezers at the Nursing Home weren't pushovers!
---
Jiangnan, who was in class, felt his heart bleeding!
He had lost ten gold bricks in anger!
In the coming days, he would have to set up his stall like crazy!
He silently swore that the gold bricks he had lost, he would earn back with his own hands!
In just three days, the students had already gotten used to the academy that was as shabby as a warzone!
When eating in the cafeteria, students on the first and second floors could still greet each other!
When sleeping in the dorms, instead of looking up at the ceiling, they now gazed at the starry sky!
Other than being a bit cold, could there be anything more poetic than this?
And during this time, on international headlines, under the influence of behind-the-scenes promoters, a story was gaining momentum!
It had attracted a lot of attention!
The Free Glory Academy of Mi Guo and the Paladin Academy of Ying Guo publicly extended an invitation for academic exchange to the Pioneer Nursing Home!
And received a positive response from Hua Xia!
A great nation? What was there to fear?
As soon as the news broke, it completely exploded the internet!
Those with discerning eyes could see that this was a move by Mi Guo and Ying Guo to regain face after their defeat in the Abyss, proposing this academic exchange!
It was meant to dampen Hua Xia's prestige, to win back one round, and they would certainly prepare meticulously!
But who would have thought that the Pioneer Nursing Home would accept so boldly?
Were they that confident?
Netizens from various countries had their own opinions!
"This is going to be interesting. A clash of the three countries' top-tier academies?"
"Aren't Mi Guo and Ying Guo just asking for trouble? Their students got beaten so badly by Jiangnan in the Abyss, and now they're sticking their faces out to be slapped again?"
"Give it a rest! The Abyss situation is complex with many influencing factors. Hua Xia just took the cake first, but that doesn't prove they're stronger than other academies!"
"Tsk tsk! I'm curious to see what an academy that produced the World's Strongest Platinum looks like!"
"Pfft~ After this wave, that title might change hands, yo~"
The debate was raging hot!
Meanwhile, Mi Guo and Ying Guo both stated that they would bring their own press corps to broadcast the entire academic exchange process!
No need to prove strength; the results would speak for themselves!
At this moment, domestic public opinion exploded!
"Oh wow? You guys are so amazing now? Who gave you the courage? Cheese?"
"So they're coming openly to kick the academy and find face? But why am I not worried at all?"
"Nonsense! With Boss Nan around, nobody has face! Would we lose? Just put your hearts in your pants!"
"Speaking of which, I'm really curious what the Pioneer Nursing Home looks like inside? Our country's top academy, and we know nothing about it~"
The voices online surged wave after wave!
After three days of fermentation, this was no longer an ordinary academic exchange!
It had escalated to a matter of the academic standards of the three countries!
It wasn't just about the academy's face, but the nation's face!
Domestic media were like sharks that smelled blood!
They immediately proposed to the academy to record the entire academic exchange and broadcast it online!
It was a perfect opportunity to promote national prestige and also serve as publicity for the academy!
But when Xiao Chuihuo thought about the current state of the academy...
He felt a pang in his heart!
Broadcast my ass!
If they broadcast this, with dormitories that don't even have ceilings, who would enroll?
Reverse publicity?
However, the media side then proposed that the profits from this broadcast could be split 50-50 with the academy!
The money could be used to build new teaching facilities!
Xiao Chuihuo agreed immediately!
There was no point in going against money; coincidentally, repairing the academy would cost a lot!
Jiangnan's ten gold bricks were far from enough!
As soon as this news broke, domestic netizens were even more thrilled, full of anticipation!
And according to reliable sources, the personnel from both Mi Guo and Ying Guo academies, along with their press corps, had already departed and arrived in Hua Xia!
---
At this moment, Jiangnan was setting up his stall at the academy gate, hawking nonstop!
But there were barely any customers in front of his stall. Over the past few days, the students' needs had almost been saturated!
The spare cash in their pockets had also been pretty much squeezed dry by Jiangnan!
Right now, Jiangnan was pulling two girls, not letting them leave!
"Look at these six-nuclear-bomb milk bottles! They're great! After drinking, you self-destruct! Buy two bottles!"
The two girls' faces turned pale with fright. Who would dare buy that?
"Huh? They self-destruct? N-no buy!"
Jiangnan urged, "Not the kind of self-destruct that kills you! They explode six times in three minutes, and the power is huge!"
"With the academic exchange coming up, you can totally use this as a trump card, right?"
The two girls were a bit tempted, their eyes sparkling, but they still looked hesitant!
"Really? But will they have any weird side effects like the other stuff?"
Jiangnan waved his hand: "Absolutely none!"
The two girls: (≖‸≖)‸≖)
"I don't believe you, you handsome little devil!"
Seeing they didn't believe him, Jiangnan gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, opened a bottle, and downed it in one go!
His body turned red, and a countdown appeared in his eyes!
With a teleport, he shot into the sky!
"Boom boom boom~" Six nuclear explosions!
Crimson light flashed above the academy!
Like a human cannon!
☁︎☀︎☁︎
(꒪ͦﾛ꒪ͦ)꒪ͦﾛ꒪ͦ)
Completely charred black, Jiangnan fell from the sky and quickly scurried over to the two girls, his face covered in black ash, looking smug!
(⸝⸝･᷅ꇴ･᷄) "How about that? Powerful, right? See! No side effects! Buy two bottles, okay? There's a discount!"
The two girls covered their faces and screamed!
"Ah~ Boss Nan, your clothes all blew off!"
(ﾉ)﹏❛ั(ヾ)﹏◔(ヾ)
Jiangnan's body stiffened. All he had left on was a set of Crimson Spider Silk outfit!
"These are just external things! Don't mind the details! Without sacrifice, how can there be gain?"
The two girls were about to go crazy. How could they not mind?
If they used this in front of everyone, wouldn't they end up completely naked?
"Not buying!"
With that, they ran off, leaving Jiangnan standing alone, looking dejected!
I even demonstrated it myself for you, and sacrificed a set of clothes! Why won't you buy?
Money was getting harder and harder to earn these days!
He silently packed up his stall, threw on some clothes, and went for a walk in the small grove below!
---
At this moment, outside the winding path, three luxury buses were parked!
It turned out that the Mi Guo and Ying Guo academic exchange groups had arrived.
Martin, in a suit, wearing sunglasses and chewing a cigar, got off the bus!
Looking very displeased!
"What the hell is this place? Can it get any more remote?"
Behind him followed a blonde woman!
She wore tight pants, sneakers, a white hoodie, and her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail!
On her pretty face were round-framed glasses. It was Nova Sophia!
She wasn't just the chief researcher at Dek Laboratory; she was also a mentor at Free Glory Academy!
She had specially applied to come as the lead mentor for the academic exchange group!
Whenever she thought of Jiangnan, Nova gritted her teeth!
Not only did he level her fortress, but he also drew emoji faces on the third floor?
Hmph! This time, you're in for it!
Coming with Martin and Nova were five others!
All top students from Free Glory Academy!
Among them was Ivy!
At this moment, with her hair in two buns, she looked weakly at Pioneer Academy!
Her expression was a mix of conflict, fear, and a bit of anticipation!
O(´◔~◔`)O
In front of Ivy, a young man with striking red hair and skull-shaped earrings chuckled lightly!
Under his eyes was tattooed a line of English text:
Wake Up!
Very distinctive!
He stood with his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant!
"Ivy, why have you been so listless all the way? Thinking about the Abyss?"
Ivy didn't respond, turning her head away, her expression dimming!
The red-haired young man narrowed his eyes: "Looks like the Abyss left you with quite a shadow!"
"Just wait. I'll get our dignity back. No matter how arrogant Jiangnan was in the Abyss, he'll be even worse off this time!"
"I have no intention of letting go of the title 'World's Strongest Platinum'!"
"At the same rank, no one can stand before me and talk!"
Ivy: (乛~乛‶)
Martin grinned and heavily patted the red-haired young man's shoulder!
"Charles! Good attitude. I didn't bring you for nothing. Crush them all the way, understand?"
Charles grinned: "Rest assured, Master!"
The others also had eager expressions!
Just then!
The door of the neighboring bus opened!
Nicole stepped out, wearing a white dress, her hair in two ponytails, and a sun hat, taking a deep breath — impressive!
Martin was stunned: "You? Where's Lance? Why didn't he come?"
Nicole smiled: "He was too embarrassed to come himself, so I came in his place. What? Don't like it?"
Martin said leisurely: "How could I not like traveling with beauty?"
As he spoke, his eyes roamed over Nicole's figure!
Nicole glanced at Martin, looking disgusted: "Forget it! If you lived up to your name, maybe, but... tsk tsk~"
Martin glared. Who are you looking down on?
Just then, from the distant academy gate, crimson light flashed continuously, and six explosions echoed!
Charles's lips curled into a smirk: "Setting off fireworks to welcome us? At least they have some manners!"
