# Chapter 897: Don't Be Stubborn! Pictures Prove It
Eagle Country's Shilande Castle!
Lance was sprawled on the sofa, wearing glasses, concentrating on an ancient book!
The door suddenly burst open, and the butler, drenched in sweat, rushed in carrying a computer!
"Lord Lance! Something terrible has happened!"
Lance closed his book in annoyance: "What now? Always 'something terrible'! Can't there ever be good news?"
The butler said urgently: "Look! That Jiangnan guy has listed the Mithril Greatsword again! This time it's for ten billion!"
Lance's eyes widened: "What? Didn't I have Sean bring the money to buy back the sword? Why is it listed again?"
He snatched the computer and stared at it, his face turning green!
[Grudge Value from Lance +1001!]
He almost wrote Lance's name directly on it! Wasn't it supposed to be nine swords?
How did it become ten? Did he count the one still left in my hands too?
You listed the sword in my pocket for sale? Are you insane?
Furious, Lance immediately called Sean!
"Hey? Where's the sword I told you to buy back?"
On the bus, Sean wiped his nosebleed, his expression frozen!
"Mas... Master? There was a little accident. Don't worry, I'll get the sword back for you sooner or later!"
"Al... Also, could you give me the remaining sword you have? I still owe Jiangnan one sword. I need to send it to him!"
"A man must keep his word!"
Lance: (ꐦ⊙益☉ꐦ)!
"What? I don't understand. I gave you nine billion, and not only did you NOT get the sword back..."
"...You also lost the only one I had left? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Even a mole wouldn't be this brazen, right?
Sean covered his face with his hand, ashamed beyond words. He didn't know how it happened either, but things just turned out this way!
"I lost the sword in a... in a match, Master! Just give me the sword! It's not like keeping one does you any good anyway!"
"If... if really necessary, I'll buy it from you!"
[Grudge Value from Lance +1000!]
Lance almost choked on his breath!
"How did you lose? You bunch of useless idiots! You lost a sword in an academic exchange, didn't you know you could win it back through matches?"
Sean: (´-﹏-`٥)
"We... we didn't win a single match! Jiangnan isn't human! He's a god!"
Lance, lying on the sofa, almost choked on his own spit!
"Damn it! What use do I have for you people!"
Martin, who was在一旁, couldn't take it anymore. He snatched the phone and shouted at Lance!
"Stop standing there criticizing without getting your hands dirty! You weren't here! It was so embarrassing! I lost several billion too!"
"I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense in the first place! Don't contact me again!"
With that, he hung up furiously. Lance crushed his phone, his hands trembling!
The butler looked worried: "Lord Lance, should we still buy back the sword?"
Lance said angrily: "Forget it! What dignity is left anyway? Let it hang there!"
...
At this moment, Jiangnan, eating dinner, watched Lance's constantly refreshing grudge values and chuckled to himself!
The money he'd barely managed to squeeze out of Lance was taken by the system!
Jiangnan felt a bit uneasy about it!
So why not just fleece Lance again?
A Dao Heaven Rank powerhouse, was he worried about a little wool?
Jiangnan was fantasizing about the happy life of having 10 billion in hand!
Unfortunately, this was destined to be just a beautiful dream!
Night had fallen, but inside the Spirit Pet Building's egg incubation chamber, it was still bustling with activity!
Shirley was sitting in the center of the incubation chamber, drenched in sweat. Her spiritual energy surged as she divided it into five elements, injecting them into the egg bed!
Fire-roasted egg, water-soaked egg, earth-buried egg, wood-wrapped egg, metal-coated egg!
She also had to constantly monitor the flame temperature, water flow rate, etc. Wearing glasses, she clutched a spirit pet textbook, reading intently!
(｡ᓂ‸ᓀ)▓
Juggling five tasks at once, she felt like she was about to split apart!
"What kind of damn spirit pet textbook is this? 'Mixed Element Barbecue Method'? Doesn't that sound super unreliable?"
Shirley seriously suspected she wasn't there to hatch an egg, but to cook!
Before long, her spiritual energy was completely depleted. Shirley reluctantly opened a glass jar and took a bite of durian pulp!
(꒪ͦཀ꒪ͦ||) Ugh~
"Wuwu~ Why do I have to go through this? Damn it! Jiangnan! You bastard!"
[Grudge Value from Shirley +1000!]
But thinking about the spirit pet she was promised, Shirley was filled with anticipation again!
"Egg hatcher's soul, egg hatcher's pride, egg hatchers are the cream of the crop! Let's go!"
...
Although the exchange delegation had left Huaxia, the incident hadn't subsided online!
That photo of Jiangnan smiling with a peace sign had even made international headlines!
Title: The World's Strongest Platinum is Born, Huaxia's Jiangnan! The Divine Southern Man!
Pentagon Warrior! 1 vs 10 Complete Victory, Don't Be Stubborn, Pictures Prove It!

In the photo, Sean, Charles, and the others were sprawled on the ground, with Jiangnan as the only one standing!
As soon as this image was released, the Spirit Martial circles of Mi Country and Eagle Country were filled with wails!
"This... there's no hope. They went looking for confidence, but only came back with broken hearts!"
"Heheh, good thing our Lantis Academy had foresight and didn't join the fun, or there would've been 15 people on the ground!"
"Jiangnan is only Platinum 3. Doesn't that mean he's constantly breaking the world's strongest platinum record?"
"Everyone, please be rational and don't exaggerate. Jiangnan won, but it wasn't that easy!"
(Insert↻Image).jpg!
As soon as this image was released, netizens pushed it to the top!
This was exactly the picture of Jiangnan making a peace sign while spitting blood. Countless people @Nan Shen below it!
"Giggle~ Classic scene! Saving it!"
"Wasn't the real purpose of Nan Shen spitting that blood to save face for Sean and the others, giving them at least some psychological comfort?"
"For the sake of the exchange delegation's dignity and international relations, Nan Shen really went through a lot!"
Nan Shen: (･᷄ὢ･᷅) "Don't talk nonsense. Sean and Charles tried very hard. They're a group of opponents worthy of respect!"
"The main reason I won this match was mostly luck. I'm only a tiny bit stronger than them!"
As soon as the reply came out, netizens exploded!
"Damn! Even the reply is so diplomatic! The spitting blood diplomacy is confirmed!"
Jiangnan scrolled through his phone, chuckling, thinking about his Platinum skill!
If he'd had his Platinum skill during this match, winning might have been even smoother!
So he called Yang Jian!
"Hey? Brother Jian? Are... are you at home?"
Yang Jian's eyes widened: "Nonsense! Where else would I be if not at home? And you!"
"You brought back six pounds of chives? Do you know how I've been these past two weeks? Dinner every night has been chive pancakes! I still have half a bag left!"
Jiangnan chuckled: "This is for my unborn nephew's sake!"
"The exchange delegation has been sent off. If nothing else comes up, I'll head to the Western Frontier in a couple of days!"
Yang Jian paused, then smiled: "Good kid! I saw the photo. That slap was loud enough!"
"As for the Void Sea, its danger level is no joke. It's basically an unexplored area with no safety guarantees!"
"If you're going, I'll have Li Mingshan accompany you!"
"At least he can ensure your safety. I'm afraid you might die in there..."
Jiangnan shuddered, his heart sinking to the bottom!
He had just gotten rid of Nova, and now Li Mingshan was coming?
There were also Bose particles inside him, so...
"Did Grandpa Li offer to come himself?"
Yang Jian was surprised: "I haven't mentioned it to him yet, but if I do, he'll agree!"
Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief. So it wasn't his own request!
If that were the case, it almost confirmed that Li Mingshan was a person of the Holy Star!
But without knowing the full situation, Jiangnan still didn't dare to let Li Mingshan accompany him!
If it really was what he suspected, he wouldn't even know how he died in the Void Sea!
"Forget it. If Grandpa Li moves, the country will have to go into Level 1 alert again!"
"Don't you know my skills? It's just the Void Sea. I'll get the Spirit Bead I want and come out. I can handle it!"
Yang Jian hesitated for a moment: "Alright. That area is under Big Thunder's jurisdiction. If anything happens, he can come to help!"
"I'll inform the Dean about everything else!"
With the Void Sea matter settled, Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief!
He found Shanmao's WeChat and sent a message!
Nan Shen: "Still at the forward base? I'll be heading to the Western Frontier in a few days!"
Luo Tianhong: "Oh~"
Jiangnan: (･᷄～･᷅)
She replied pretty quickly, but just "oh" and that's it?
His thumbs flew across the screen!
"Don't you miss me at all? You're so heartless, so cruel, so cold! You've changed! You're not the..."
Before he finished typing, another message popped up!
Luo Tianhong: I do~
Jiangnan: (๑•̀ꇴ•́)و
He rolled around on the bed hugging his phone!
٩(｡⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)۶٩(ﾞ)۶٩(｡˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅｡)۶
Nan Shen: How much?
Luo Tianhong: Get lost!
Jiangnan: ಠ╭╮ಠ
