Chapter 955: New Spirit Skill! Spatial Displacement
Zhong Yingxue, awakened from her excitement, quickly broke free!
She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and her face was blushing so hard it seemed ready to bleed!
Gripping a towel with both hands, she lowered her head and stammered an explanation.
(⑉Ծ﹏Ծ⑉)‧º·˚
"It's... not what you think! I just wanted to check if you were still breathing!"
"And... and give you some CPR on the side. Yeah, that's it!"
Jiangnan wore a funny expression. *I believe you, you liar!*
(˵ಡ.̮ಡ˵)
"Didn't you say you had something to tell me in person? Well, you've 'told' me with your mouth, now it's time to say it, right?"
Zhong Yingxue's face turned even redder. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
Already thin-skinned, how could she handle this? Covering her face, she curled up into a ball!
Xia Yao glared: "Oh, you little rascal, Jiangnan! So you heard everything we said? You've been faking death the whole time?"
"Do you know how heartbroken we were? I felt like dying just now! You're so bad! So bad!"
The Big Wolf Girl cried while pounding her fists on Jiangnan's chest, but soon she was laughing like an idiot between sobs!
(°¯᷄ꇴ¯᷅۶)۶(•̀◡•́๑)
Zhong Yingxue also came to her senses: "What exactly happened? You were clearly dead for almost a day, how could you—"
Jiangnan smiled wryly: "I did die, but I didn't really die!"
With that, he explained the sheep biscuit situation to the two, leaving them dumbfounded.
Could this ability be any more absurd? It really scares people to death!
But thankfully, Jiangnan had faked his death and used it to escape the encirclement of the Dragon Loach!
Now that they saw Jiangnan alive and well, Xia Yao finally felt relieved, finding him incredibly endearing no matter how she looked at him.
Jiangnan stood up and said: "Better go tell everyone outside. They're probably still digging my grave, right?"
On a slope outside the cave, Xiong Er had already dug a large pit.
Everyone stood by the pit with grim expressions. Wu Liang had somehow found a tombstone somewhere and was carving on it.
The inscription read:
"Dream of 900 Million Beauties"
"The Tomb of Nan Shen—Jiang Nan—Tomb"
Jiangnan glanced at it and nearly died of anger!
"Brother! You can't just do a half-assed job like this! You carved a wrong character on the tombstone and just scratched it out and rewrote it?"
"And you didn't even get 'tomb' right in the end? You illiterate thug!"
As soon as Jiangnan's voice rang out, everyone turned to look!
Seeing Jiangnan standing there intact, their jaws dropped to the ground!
=͟͟͞͞(Ŏ◊Ŏ(꒪ᗜ꒪(°Д°(ଵ㉨ଵ‧̣̥̇)
Dead for a whole day! He was already starting to stink, and they even dissected him. How the hell did you come back to life?
A real ghost story!
Zi Yuan rushed to Jiangnan's side, touching him all over, her face full of disbelief!
"You... you're not dead?"
Jiangnan curled his lips: "Sorry, I tweaked my fate stats before entering the Void Sea. I have infinite lives! Isn't that standard procedure?"
"As for your dream... it was really a letdown!"
Mila's face immediately lit up with a brilliant smile, like sunlight spilling down!
She threw herself into Jiangnan's arms like a baby bird returning to its nest!
Wu Liang and Xiong Er were overjoyed. They tossed the tombstone aside and burst into laughter!
They rushed over and gave Jiangnan two bear hugs!
"Haha! I knew those bastards couldn't take down my Brother Nan! The guy who can kill Nan Shen hasn't been born yet!"
Everyone rushed over and hugged Jiangnan, instantly dispelling the gloomy atmosphere!
Jiangnan opened a Space Wormhole, reached in, and with a flick, Liu Mang let out a scream as Jiangnan "grabbed" him!
"Nan... Nan Shen! Is this how you greet people? Isn't that a bit too avant-garde?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Held it in for 24 hours, I was about to burst! And you dare to talk? I almost got beaten to death by those vicious beasts, but I was almost killed by *dissection* instead! Who said they wanted to cremate me?"
Liu Mang shuddered. Xia Yao's forehead dripped with cold sweat, wearing a guilty expression!
But everyone was curious about Jiangnan's resurrection, so he explained the sheep biscuit situation.
After hearing it, Zi Yuan's mouth twitched. What the hell did my prophecy even predict?
Could it get any more coincidental? I worried for nothing the whole way!
I'm never messing around with prophecies for Jiangnan again!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth:
"But getting jumped by those vicious beasts is real. Dammit, I have to get my revenge!"
"Besides, I need to get that silver ring in the cave at the Void Sea core!"
"The runes on that ring are even more complex than the core's. I have a feeling it's something good!"
Most importantly, his Vendor Cloth and other stuff were still on the island. That was his biggest trump card. He had to get it back!
Everyone got excited again. It truly was "life is short, make money while you can!"
"How are we going to do it? If you can get the Spirit Pearl of the Void Dragon Loach and learn the Warp Bubble, Brother Nan, you'd really become a god!"
Jiangnan shook his head: "Not realistic. The Void Dragon Loach is too strong. Even with everything I've got, I couldn't take it down!"
"Better to absorb the Spatial Displacement from that Grimace Beast and strengthen myself as much as possible. That's the only way I'll have a chance to survive in the Void Sea!"
"Anyway, I'm only Platinum rank. I've got plenty of skill slots. I'll think about the rest later!"
Zhong Yingxue suddenly remembered: "There are still over a thousand Spatial Spirit Pearls in Little Glutinous Rice's pocket! See if there's a better one!"
With that, she pulled Little Glutinous Rice out of her pocket!
The little rascal, very clever, started pulling Spirit Pearls out of his pocket one by one, holding them in both hands and offering them to Rabbit Boss!
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled. Jackpot!
Even if you put all the Spatial Spirit Pearls in the world together, you probably wouldn't have as many as he had in his hands!
So he began to pick through them. These were the snacks of the Void Dragon Loach.
Most of them were Platinum-grade Spirit Pearls, with a few Diamond ones, but no Starlight-grade at all!
Jiangnan examined them one by one. There were Spatial Distortion, Spatial Fracture, Spatial Imprisonment—a whole bunch!
Not that there weren't any impressive attack-type skills, like Spatial Rift, but none of them were as amazing as Spatial Displacement!
He pulled out the Grimace Beast's Spirit Pearl and examined it again!
*Skill Range: 3000 meters. Can mark up to 3 objects through touch. Marked objects can be freely swapped within range!*
*But the marks only last 3 minutes before disappearing. They need to be re-applied!*
*Also, if a marked object leaves the 3000-meter range, it cannot be swapped!*
Everything else was fine, but the marking restriction was quite limiting!
Jiangnan paused. Wait!
He had a Starlight-grade trash Spatial Spirit Pearl—the one Li Mingshan had given him!
*Spatial Mark: Can leave a spatial mark on any object or creature through touch!*
*Maximum sensing range: 100,000 meters in radius. Can sense the surrounding space and instantly teleport to the mark!*
*Mark duration: 24 hours!*
Jiangnan's face flushed red with excitement. If he merged this with Spatial Displacement, wouldn't he take off?
Last time he played matchmaker with the system, he got a Fusion Card!
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He gripped both Spirit Pearls in his palm!
[Confirmed host's wish!]
[Fusion Card activated!]
In an instant, Jiangnan felt his palm grow hot, and a spiritual light shone through!
[Fusion complete!]
Jiangnan was super nervous. He opened his palm to find only one Spirit Pearl left. After the fusion, its quality had even reached Starlight grade!
He quickly checked it!
*Spatial Displacement: Can leave a spatial mark on any object through touch! Mark lasts 24 hours!*
*Maximum sensing range: 100,000 meters in radius. Marked objects can be freely swapped within range!*
*Can also instantly teleport to the mark. Currently can leave up to 3 marks simultaneously!*
Jiangnan was so excited he pounded his chest on the spot!
٩(｡˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅)۶ Hell yeah!
After the fusion, not only did it retain all the advantages of both skills, but the mark duration and maximum range were greatly enhanced!
Adding insult to injury! Perfect!
Zhong Yingxue and the others stared at him in shock!
What could make him so happy? He was probably brain-dead from dying!
What was there to hesitate about? This was it!
He immediately absorbed it. The surging spiritual energy of the Starlight-grade Spirit Pearl flooded into Jiangnan's body!
It flushed his face red and sent pain through his body!
His level instantly broke through Platinum 3, reaching Platinum 4, and continued to grow!
It finally stopped at the peak of Platinum 4!
The Spirit Pearl turned to ash, but Jiangnan's eyes were exceptionally bright!
He casually opened a Space Wormhole, reached in, and pulled his hand back!
Then he looked at Xia Yao with a mischievous grin!
"Hit me! If you can hit me, I'll let you... hehehe!"
Xia Yao's eyes lit up with excitement: "Really?"
Then she hesitated: "You want to practice your moves? But if you say that, I definitely won't be able to hit you. Better let Wu Liang—"
Before she could finish, Xia Yao threw a heavy cannon punch straight at Jiangnan's face!
It reached his face in an instant. Jiangnan raised an eyebrow!
Oh ho! Big Wolf Girl is playing mind games now? Catching me off guard?
But Xia Yao felt her vision blur. A "bang" sounded, and she felt like she had hit something solid!
Her eyes sparkled! She hit him?
Could she finally ride the Southern guy?
But when she looked at Jiangnan, he was still standing in the same spot, seemingly not having moved at all. Meanwhile, Liu Mang stood beside him, dumbfounded, with a black eye!
(๑◉ࡇʘ̆)???
Xia Yao was stunned: "Did you use Space Wormhole to redirect the attack?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Nope! Before you hit me, I swapped Liu Mang over. After you hit him, I swapped him back!"
Everyone was stunned. He completed two Spatial Displacements in such a short time?
He pulled Liu Mang over to take the hit for him?
Xiao... Xiao Nan is so sly!
Liu Mang: (ﾉ)◉益ಥ) "So you think you're funny, huh?"
You're holding a grudge!
I just said I wanted to cremate you. It's not that serious, bro!
