The improvement in strength did not make Jiang Ning blindly confident.
He understands that a lion uses all his strength to fight a rabbit, and what's more, the opponent is not a weak rabbit, but a black bear that is more powerful than the lion.
"Zhao Yuan, you want to use this gambling fight to get rid of me, why don't I want to destroy you..." Jiang Ning whispered, his hands were not idle, and after carefully tracing the talisman with cinnabar,
Begin to silently rub the birth talisman of the Yang Formation.
Every sixteen talismans can be used to form a formation. Jiang Ning did five sets in one breath before stopping.
At this time, it was already dark outside, and there were less than twelve hours left before the gambling battle between Jiang Ning and Zhao Yuan.
He stood up and stretched, preparing to take a good rest in preparation for tomorrow's life-and-death battle, when there was a knock on the door.
"It's so late and you two are still not sleeping!" Jiang Ning said angrily. He walked over and opened the door. His expression suddenly became strange and he said: "Uh... why is it you?"
He originally thought it would be Zhang Xuan and Zhou Hao, but he didn't expect it would be Wang Yan.
Today, Wang Yan is wearing a peach-pink skirt with wide sleeves and a small braid on the left temple. She is quiet yet lively. Coupled with her delicate little face, it makes Jiang Ning, a big man like Jiang Ning, completely ignorant of romance.
Straight men were a little crazy watching it.
"Why, I can't come?" Wang Yan raised her pointed chin slightly, showing an arrogant look like a little peacock and said: "It's quite impressive. One person can wipe out an entire clan, and the news has spread to the top of the college. It's so majestic!
"
Jiang Ning looked embarrassed.
It was so majestic that I almost lost my life there...
"You don't want me to come in and sit down?" Wang Yan said, pushing her shoulder away from Jiang Ning unceremoniously, sitting down at the table, pouring tea and drinking.
Jiang Ning scratched his head, thought for a moment, and didn't close the door, only concealing it.
"What brings you here?" he asked.
Wang Yan shook the tea cup in her hand and glanced around: "Nothing's wrong. I just knew you were back and came over to have a look. At least I'm a friend. You helped me when I took the exam."
This girl is so convulsed...Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows.
He sat next to him warily, and said with a half-serious and half-suspicious look: "I don't dare to be your friend. For someone as righteous as you, I can't tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. People like Jiang who kill fellow disciples can't reach that high."
.”
When Wang Yan heard what he said, she looked defensive again. For some reason, a trace of grievance suddenly emerged in her heart.
In fact, after the confrontation between Jiang Ning and Wang Jin in the square, Wang Yan also figured out the doubts after returning, and speculated that Li Gu's death might really have nothing to do with Jiang Ning.
Later, she learned from her instructor that the evil ghost she took the Xuntai exam was killed by Jiang Ning, and she felt even more indebted to Jiang Ning.
After struggling for a long time, she finally made up her mind to apologize to Jiang Ning, only to be told that Jiang Ning had left the academy to complete her mid-year exam.
This made Wang Yan feel upset and annoyed.
What I regret is that my hesitation and attitude at the time disappointed Jiang Ning, which caused the relationship between the two to become like this. What I regret is that Jiang Ning should not have finished the XNUMXth exam by himself without saying a word.
It was clearly agreed that Wang Yan would help Jiang Ning in her mid-term exam, and when Jiang Ning took the exam, she would also help.
In fact, as long as Jiang Ning really comes to ask her for help, even if Jiang Ning is still suspicious, even if she is still angry, she will still agree to help without hesitation.
But unfortunately, Jiang Ning didn't find him...
Wang Yan couldn't describe what she was feeling at that time. She was sad, aggrieved, and inexplicably angry. Even she didn't know why she felt such emotions.
When she heard the news about Jiang Ning's return today, she immediately put on a nice dress and came over to apologize to Jiang Ning. But she didn't expect that as soon as she saw Jiang Ning's face, she couldn't hold back the dignity of saying sorry.
Coupled with Jiang Ning's current attitude, Wang Yan felt even more uncomfortable.
"Yes, it's good that you know." Wang Yan didn't want to let herself fall behind in front of him, so she pretended to be brave and said: "Evil people will have their own retribution, so you should take care of yourself in tomorrow's gambling battle!"
After saying that, Wang Yan slammed the teacup on the table, stood up and left.
Jiang Ning looked at the teacup and said nothing for a long time.
After a long time, he smiled to himself, cleared the table, sat on the bed, closed his eyes and began to practice.
The next day, just as it was getting dark, Jiang Ning heard noises coming from outside. After a while, there were footsteps approaching.
"Brother Ning, are you awake?"
It was Zhou Hao's voice.
After not seeing him or Henry Zhang for two or three days, Jiang Ning thought that these two guys had forgotten their big day, so Jiang Ning opened the door happily.
Sure enough, Henry Zhang and Zhou Hao were standing at the door with eight or nine people with smiles on their faces.
Among these eight or nine people, Jiang Ning knew some of them.
It was the group of fellow disciples who were rescued by him when he set fire to the dungeon of the Prosecution Department, including Fire Butterfly, the strong man and the good-for-nothing old man.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Ning asked.
Henry Zhang said in high spirits: "Cheer for my brother!"
Jiang Ning couldn't laugh or cry.
Is it to cheer or to see off... He patted Henry Zhang on the shoulder and led everyone to Zhiyin Square.
On the way, Henry Zhang leaned into Jiang Ning's ear and whispered: "Brother, don't worry, I have made all arrangements. Today's patrol, the disciples guarding the mountain are all my own. If you can't beat them, just escape from the academy."
Zhou Hao added from the side: "Wu Jiudao, that old guy, has no favors. As long as you lose, he will definitely hand you over."
"So Brother Ning, if you are not sure, you can escape down the mountain now."
Jiang Ning's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
This... the little guys are really prepared for a rainy day!
"Uh... I shouldn't have to run away for the time being," Jiang Ning replied.
After thinking for a while, he added: "But thank you anyway. If necessary, I will escape directly."
Henry Zhang and Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them walked to Zhiyin Square arm in arm.
The square was crowded and bustling.
They were all students who heard the news and ran over to watch the fun.
This is the first time Zhao Yuan has been provoked since he became the chief student, and it is also the first time he takes action after taking this position.
Both students and teachers are looking forward to it.
I want to see how far Zhao Yuan, who was very prosperous back then, has grown since becoming the Foundation Establishment Realm!
As for Jiang Ning, well... no one has any hope.
Except Su Zhao and the students headed by Zhang Xuan and Zhou Hao.
Chen Jinrong, who was sitting in the stands, had a cold look in his eyes. In order to wait until today, he had made all preparations. Even if Zhao Yuan failed on the stage, he was sure that Jiang Ning would die on the stage.
As Jiang Ning entered, the huge Zhiyin Square gradually became quiet.
"I heard that not long after Jiang Ning entered the academy, he massacred the director of the academy's inspection department. In private, many people called him Jiang Ning, the Fierce God."
"Then isn't he very powerful?"
"He is quite powerful, but his opponent today is Zhao Yuan."
Listening to the students' discussion, Jiang Ning looked neither sad nor happy.
It is said that Tianjiao's signature skill is to kill enemies by leaping through ranks. Since he can compete with the famous Wu Shiyi at the same level, he may not lose to the Zhao Yuan in front of him.
"Today, Jiang also wants to pick up this signboard!" He thought to himself.
