Chapter 850: I Resonated! (Bonus Chapter)
Close combat, three consecutive bursts fired without warning!
Even Martin didn’t react in time, and by the time he came to his senses, he’d been hit right in the face!
Martin was completely frozen!
Gotta say, a Dao Heaven level powerhouse is terrifyingly resilient, taking three consecutive bursts without budging an inch!
But his sunglasses were shattered, leaving only the frames.
The cigar dangling from his mouth exploded into a sunflower, and his entire person looked like he’d been struck by lightning!
The wind from the sneeze lifted Nicole’s skirt, startling her into covering it!
(๑˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)“Ya~ How annoying!”
[From Martin’s Resentment Value +1000!]
At that moment, everyone present and the livestream viewers were dumbfounded!
“Ahhh! That guy just sprayed a Dao Heaven face-to-face! Face-to-face! And it was even three consecutive bursts!”
“Pfft haha~ Look at Martin’s face, it’s really black—well, black in every sense!”
“You can drop the suspicion now! Nan Shen definitely did that on purpose! This is deliberate revenge!”
“Damn! Why didn’t he sneeze a little harder? Then her skirt would have blown up!”
Jiangnan: (⸝⸝՞ก՞)“Ah la la~ Sorry, I’m really sensitive, allergic to air! I sneeze a lot!”
“You wouldn’t get mad at me just for sneezing a few times, would you?”
Martin: (ꐦಠ益ಠꐦ)!
What the hell is “allergic to air”? Usually, I never see you sneeze!
You clearly aimed that right at me!
And three consecutive bursts?
“You think I wouldn’t dare touch you? I’ll tear you apart right now!”
He raised his big hand and swatted at Jiangnan’s crown!
Everyone was shocked!
Was Martin really making a move on Jiangnan?
But Jiangnan wasn’t flustered at all, looking completely relaxed!
Just then, with a loud bang, Zhao Dezhu charged over from a distance!
He swatted Martin’s hand away!
Martin gritted his teeth: (ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅)“Old bastard!”
Zhu Ye squinted: (｡͡’Д‾́)“Little bastard!”
Suddenly, the atmosphere was thick with gunpowder. Those two had already fought on the sea!
Jiangnan looked proud. If he were outside, he might be afraid.
But where was this? Pioneer Academy!
He had backing everywhere. He didn’t believe Martin and Nicole could touch a single hair on his head in his own territory.
So why be scared? Just be arrogant!
Martin growled: “What’s your meaning? We’re here for an academic exchange, and you spray us right away? First my apprentice, then me?”
“Is this your hospitality?”
Zhao Dezhu turned and gave Jiangnan a stern look!
“What’s your problem? Didn’t I tell you not to sneeze at people? It’s rude!”
Jiangnan: (´◔₃◔`)“I didn’t sneeze at anyone.”
Zhao Dezhu: (･᷅ὢ･᷄)“He didn’t sneeze at anyone!”
[From Martin’s Resentment Value +1000!]
Ah, damn it!
No one can be this arrogant!
You two are singing a duet, insulting people in turns, right?
Zhao Dezhu cleared his throat: “As you can see, our kid caught a cold recently. He didn’t do it on purpose.”
Martin glared: “Bullshit! He did it on purpose. He sprayed us! Why didn’t he spray you? He…”
Before he finished, Jiangnan let out a nuclear-powered sneeze right at Zhao Dezhu!
Zhao Dezhu’s expression didn’t change: “Thorny Counter-Armor!”
“Boom!”
A loud noise, and Jiangnan’s face turned pale, his chest tight from the backlash!
“Zhu Ye! Good skill!”
Zhao Dezhu calmly wiped the dark soot from his face. He’d drunk Nuclear Milk, so he was prepared.
The scene stunned everyone!
At the Pioneer Academy, were teacher-student relationships this harmonious?
Zhao Dezhu: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
“You’ve seen for yourselves, just an ordinary cold. You’re not really mad, are you?”
“If this is all the tolerance you have, then I don’t see the point in continuing this academic exchange.”
Martin clenched his fists, joints cracking!
“Alright, alright! Just you wait!”
He was full of pent-up anger, but there was no way he’d call off the exchange.
That would mean he got sprayed for nothing!
Charles crawled out of the woods, eyes red with anger!
“Jiangnan, don’t get too cocky. I…”
But Jiangnan opened his mouth toward Charles again!
(°¯᷄口¯᷅°) Ah~
Charles: !!!
He immediately assumed a defensive posture, spirit energy flaring!
“Gravity Shield!”
Jiangnan: (ૢ⁼̴~⁼̴) Mmm~ so sleepy.
Yawning, Jiangnan put his hands behind his back and walked toward the academy.
Charles froze!
Danny: (๐･᷄ᗜ･᷅)☛ Ha!
“And you have the nerve to talk about me? Jiangnan just sneezed, and look how scared you are!”
[From Charles’ Resentment Value +1000!]
Charles’ face turned green!
Can you be any more annoying?
[From…]
Hu Shuo was ecstatic! This was exactly the kind of thing they loved to film!
He waved to the reporter team: “Hurry, follow!”
The group walked toward the Pioneer Academy!
Guan Hu also brought a few mentors to greet them—after all, this was an academic exchange, they had to give face.
But as soon as they entered the academy gate, Martin, Nicole, and the others were stunned by the sight.
Even Hu Shuo and the domestic reporter team were shocked!
What kind of design was this?
Wasn’t it too unique?
Potholes everywhere, like the surface of the moon!
The playground was cracked like a spiderweb, the technology building was riddled with holes!
The dormitory building had no roof, the teaching building walls were missing!
Was this really the Pioneer Academy?
Not some nuclear explosion site? It was a complete ruin of broken walls!
Martin’s eyes lit up—finally a chance!
(･᷄ꇴ･᷅): “Ha! No way? Is this your academy? Can it be any more run-down?”
“Even the shooting range at our Free Radiance Academy is newer than this!”
Tom put his hands behind his back, disdainful: “Is this really a place for humans? This is the level of your academy?”
“Haha! Today I’ve seen it all!”
“If China’s top institution is this shabby, your strength is obvious!”
The exchange students whispered and burst into laughter.
In the livestream, netizens were stunned too!
“This isn’t lifting a veil—it’s ripping open a wound! Why is it so broken?”
“What the hell? It’s worse than a normal Spirit Martial university, so run-down!”
“Hey hey, is this really not going to collapse? I see a ‘danger’ sign on every building!”
“The learning environment for Nan Shen and the others is way too harsh… I feel so sorry…”
At this moment, both Guan Hu and Zhao Dezhu’s faces were dark as coal!
They glared hard at Jiangnan!
So embarrassing! If Jiangnan hadn’t activated his second passive skill, would the academy be in this state?
“Ahem, Jiangnan! Lead the delegation on a general tour of the academy.”
They couldn’t bear this shame, so they had to hand the humiliating task to the culprit.
Jiangnan patted his chest: “Leave it to me. I know the academy well.”
Charles laughed loudly: “Stop making me laugh! What’s there to see in this dump?”
“Drafty everywhere, full of holes, even a demolition site is better!”
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips, looking disdainful!
“You know nothing! This is specially renovated by our academy into a ‘Gariggeigei battle-damage wasteland style’!”
“There’s no second one like it in the whole world! Unique! Do you know how much it cost just to renovate it like this?”
“A full twenty thousand catties of gold! You do the math!”
The delegation was stunned!
Wait, this wreck cost twenty thousand catties of gold to renovate?
Were they out of their minds?
Now Zhao Dezhu and Guan Hu’s faces were black as pitch!
This guy really could talk his way into heaven!
Charles sneered: “Don’t blow smoke. I’ve never heard of any ‘wasteland style’!”
“Twenty thousand catties of gold? Pfft! If you had that money, you could hire me to renovate! Isn’t it just destruction?”
Jiangnan snorted: “Don’t challenge the depth of art with your ignorance. What do you know about art?”
“Look at this building. It’s wrecked, but none of it has collapsed. The whole thing maintains a delicate balance!”
“It’s full of artistic atmosphere while still meeting the students’ daily needs!”
“Can you do that? Don’t talk nonsense! We hired countless top art design masters from across the country, spending an entire night (year) of design and renovation!”
At this, Martin and Nicole were slightly taken aback.
One night of design?
And if you looked at it from this angle, there really was a bit of an artistic vibe.
From a viewing perspective, each building was in a delicate balance—almost collapsing but not, nearly falling but not.
Nicole opened her mouth: “Th-this is art? It feels so abstract!”
Shirley pulled out her phone to take pictures, hand on chin in deep thought: “To be fair, it does have a certain vibe.”
Data Emperor frantically flipped through his book: “Hmm—wasteland style? It’s about three parts similar to the wasteland style of York City. It is indeed a form of artistic expression.”
Now, Zhao Dezhu and Guan Hu were dumbfounded!
How did this become art?
What “top art design masters from across the country”?
They blew it all up themselves!
Jiangnan’s silver tongue was godlike!
If he went into sales, he could sell a rough house at a luxury renovation price!
Seeing everyone appreciating the art, Charles’ smile froze.
Forgive me, but I absolutely can’t see what’s so great about this!
But if he said he didn’t understand, wouldn’t that make him look low-class?
“Ah, n-now that you mention it, there really is a bit of artistic energy rushing at my face!”
“Yeah, that… that York-style gangster vibe! Mm, I appreciate it!”
Jiangnan grinned and patted Charles on the shoulder!
“This brother has quite the artistic sense! Our Pioneer Academy has the word ‘pioneer’ in it!”
“So when it comes to fashion and art, we must stay at the forefront of the times!”
“Did you resonate? The blend of destruction and rebirth in the building style?”
“It really makes one lost in thought, full of emotion!”
Charles: (•́ω•̀٥)…
“I-I resonated!”
