Chapter 868: Is He Also Sick?
Teleporting straight to the playground, Jiangnan was stunned. Wasn't this supposed to be an academic exchange?
Why was no one here?
Just as he was wondering, he noticed a crowd gathered around the physical training room, even Hu Shuo's livestream van was over there!
He quickly squeezed through.
There, Guan Hu and Zhao Dezhu were arguing endlessly with Martin and Tom!
Spit flying everywhere!
Guan Hu glared: "Bullshit! Comparing defense abilities in the physical training room? No spirit energy, no abilities - what's there to compare? Who can take a beating better?"
Zhao Dezhu fumed: "Are you crazy to win? No way!"
But Tom argued back: "When comparing defense, of course you compare primitive defense!"
"Spirit warriors can encounter anything in battle, even spirit-binding fields. When that happens, the only thing you can rely on is your own physical defense!"
Martin sneered: "What? Scared now? We're not afraid, and the top academy of Huaxia doesn't even have this much courage?"
Zhao Dezhu curled his lip: "Cut it out, afraid of you? Lost two matches yesterday, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
Both sides were red in the face.
Jiangnan was a bit stunned, not expecting Martin and them to be so extreme, wanting to compare defense under spirit-binding conditions?
If that was the case, he'd only be stronger - his reputation as a "River-Crossing Dragon" wasn't for nothing!
But the strength of the other academy students would be greatly weakened!
Facing Tom and his crew who were prepared, they'd definitely be at a disadvantage...
However, Jiangnan wasn't focused on the argument. His peripheral vision landed on Nova!
She was standing nonchalantly in the crowd, with huge dark circles under her eyes, looking completely listless!
When she saw Jiangnan and Xia Yao, she gritted her teeth.
[From Nova...]
Seeming to sense Jiangnan's gaze, Nova quickly looked away!
Jiangnan chuckled inwardly, asking quietly: "How is it?"
At this moment, Jiangning and Jiangjing were hidden in the void, observing Nova!
A voice echoed in his mind.
"Nova does have Bose particles in her body, but the quantity is very small. If we weren't this close and observing carefully, we wouldn't have noticed!"
"Also, the way the Bose particles are stored in her body is like... like they were forcibly stuffed in..."
"Yours is a symbiotic relationship, while hers is more like a parasitic one."
Jiangnan furrowed his brows deeply, his heart sinking.
Damn, this resentment-value girl really did have problems!
Since she also had Bose particles in her body, it meant she had been in contact with a Bose entity!
Choosing this time to target him, was she after that crystal nail?
All the researchers from the American Deke Lab were "their" people?
That influence wasn't small at all!
Wait!
Jiangnan suddenly remembered that Li Mingshan also had Bose particles inside him!
Could he have problems too?
At the thought, Jiangnan's face turned pale!
As a Dao Heaven-level spatial-type of Huaxia, if he really had issues and wanted to cause trouble, it would be far too easy!
But for now, he couldn't jump to conclusions; he still knew too little.
Jiangning: "Need me to eliminate her? I can help!"
Jiangnan shook his head.
Nova couldn't be touched. First, killing Nova during an academic exchange would be too troublesome since she represented America!
If Nova was really after the nail, killing her would indirectly admit that he had the nail!
That would only bring him bigger trouble!
He couldn't kill her; he had to play along!
And this was also a good opportunity to learn who was behind Nova!
Jiangnan grinned slyly.
Trying to scheme against me? Watch me dig up even your ancestors' graves!
"Buzz~"
His phone vibrated. Jiangnan pulled it out and saw:
Nephew Big Thunder:
"Uncle, uh... that exchange thing, you could drag it out a few more days, cough~"
"Since you're exchanging, go deep with it. Don't waste the opportunity, keep it up!"
Jiangnan: (≖ᴗ≖๑) Oh?
His eyes drifted to Nicole, whose pretty face was flushed and glowing!
When she saw Jiangnan looking, Nicole shyly said: "Uncle..."
Before she could finish, Jiangnan gave her an OK sign!
Meanwhile, Guan Hu and Tom were still arguing, both grabbing each other's collars, shouting in each other's faces!
They were about to throw fists!
Xiao Chuihuo pushed his wheelchair in, looking calm and indifferent!
"What's all this fussing about a small matter? Let them compare however they want!"
"Are our kids afraid of anything?"
As soon as Xiao Chuihuo spoke, the room fell silent!
Martin looked at Xiao Chuihuo with a light laugh!
"The old Fire God still has that boldness, after all these years, his style hasn't faded!"
Xiao Chuihuo sneered: "Hmph, just a crippled old man!"
"The world belongs to you young ones now!"
Everyone looked at Dean Xiao.
Fire God? Was that the dean's international code name?
Not many internationally had code names with the word "God" in them.
Jiangnan was one of them.
Since the dean had spoken, there was no need to argue anymore.
"Then let's do it in the physical training room. How do we compare?"
Tom grinned, full of confidence!
"Slap each other's face! Whoever can't take it loses!"
Once he said that, the air went still. Everyone's eyes widened.
Holy shit?
This was even more brutal than arm wrestling. Was there no normal event in this exchange?
When Guan Hu heard that, he shuddered violently, his eyes full of terror!
He immediately crouched down, covering his face.
୧(‧̣̥̇˃᷄口˂᷅‧̣̥̇)୨
"N-No way! Don't... don't slap anymore! D-Don't come any closer!"
Now not only Tom and his crew were stunned, but even Qin Shou and the others were baffled!
Just mentioning slapping faces, and Director Hu scared like that?
Did he have some psychological trauma?
Zhao Dezhu kicked Guan Hu a few times angrily!
"What are you doing? Get up! Don't be embarrassing! It's livestreaming!"
But Guan Hu couldn't snap out of it. He kept muttering while crouching!
"I know you're enthusiastic, but don't all come to greet me! How about I kneel to you?"
Danny was stunned: "Whoa? Isn't that the same post-traumatic stress disorder I got?"
"Abbreviated as PTSD!"
Shirley: (⇀‸↼‶)...
So that's why you were always entering saint mode yesterday?
Can you not abbreviate things casually?
After shortening it, the disease sounded weird!
Actually, it wasn't Guan Hu's fault!
Of his 32 teeth, except for the two front teeth knocked out by Jiangnan!
The other 30 were all buried in the Sahara Desert!
Even now, he often had nightmares, remembering that miserable experience!
Jiangnan quickly went over, grabbing Guan Hu's shoulder: "Brother Hu! Stay calm! This is Huaxia, this is the academy, not the Khaba clan anymore!"
Guan Hu swallowed, calming down a bit, but cold sweat still dripped from his forehead!
It seemed he'd need a while to recover!
Martin and Tom exchanged glances, gaining confidence!
Last night's tactic wasn't wasted!
This time, they were going all out!
Even if they still lost, at least they'd hit Jiangnan's face!
Literally slapping his face!
One slap down, no matter how tough Jiangnan was, his face would swell!
Screw everything else, beat Jiangnan up first!
Otherwise, the fire in their hearts wouldn't go out, and they'd really have a heart attack!
The reason they chose the physical training room was to prevent Jiangnan from using wormhole barriers to dodge attacks!
No matter what, this slap had to land on Jiangnan's face!
Just to hit Jiangnan, Martin and Tom had stopped being human!
Now, looking at Jiangnan, they both grinned fiercely!
They could lose the match, but Jiangnan had to be hit!
Jiangnan also shuddered inwardly. How could he not see their intention?
They were coming straight for his face!
Going all out, huh?
To hit me, can you try any harder?
When it came to face-slapping, he was an expert among experts!
It was all about being ruthless!
Face-slapping had to be a one-hit kill, slap the head right off!
Never let the opponent have a chance to get up; otherwise, you'd get slapped!
But Danny and his crew weren't pushovers either!
Their physical fitness was outstanding!
Charles's physique wasn't even much worse than his!
Without abilities and spirit energy, one-shot dealing—Jiangnan wasn't even sure he could pull it off!
But the most important thing was who struck first!
If the opponent got the first strike, he'd be hit first!
Seeing Jiangnan not responding, Charles raised an eyebrow: "What? Scared, coward? Can't handle it?"
Jiangnan rubbed his nose: "How do we decide who goes first?"
Martin shrugged: "Rock-paper-scissors. Winner goes first. Any objections?"
Jiangnan: (΄◞ิʖ̫◟ิ‵) Oh ho?
