Dashing Student-Chapter 1095: Admitting Mistakes
The Divine Calculator, looking like a sleazy beggar, drooled with eyes glinting and constantly giggled foolishly.
It seemed he had already obtained those drool-worthy treasures from Chen Nan’s body.
Each one made him green with envy.
But Chen Nan sneered, moved a bit, and felt the mana surging within him. Indeed, the array had no effect on him.
Suddenly, he stepped on the Seven Stars, his body disappearing instantly with a sinister grin, his smile chilling.
"Divine Calculator!"
He laughed wildly as he arrived behind the Divine Calculator.
Before the Divine Calculator could react, Chen Nan grabbed the back of his head and slammed it hard against the ground.
Then he straddled the Divine Calculator, raining punches down like a storm.
"For coveting my treasures!"
"For scheming against me!"
"You tricked me twice and still want a third time?"
"There’s always retribution for scheming, and your retribution is me!"
With each sentence, he hit once hard, leaving the Divine Calculator with no strength to fight back.
Soon, the Divine Calculator’s face swelled to the size of a pig’s head.
"Junior Brother, stop hitting, I know I was wrong..."
The Divine Calculator’s voice was tinged with sobs.
Only then did Chen Nan stand up, letting the Divine Calculator go, feeling refreshed, having vented his anger from the Great Swamp.
"Let me tell you, I never ate the Detoxification Pill you gave me."
Chen Nan sneered twice; this Divine Calculator not only used him as cannon fodder to explore paths but also tricked him and fought with him for things.
Even at the end, he still wanted to plot against him, which was truly detestable.
However, it was the Divine Calculator who led him to find the Mystic Yin True Water and because of his Teleportation Array that allowed them to escape at the crucial moment. Chen Nan is not someone who doesn’t distinguish right from wrong.
So earlier, he was just venting, without really using a deadly hand, otherwise, the Divine Calculator would have been beaten to death long ago.
Initially, Chen Nan thought the Divine Calculator had hidden his cultivation, which was indeed true, but he was only a Third Layer Golden Core Stage Cultivator, having practiced magic to conceal his aura.
At the same time, he was not outstanding in other aspects, except his high attainments in arrays.
Thus, the outcome of Chen Nan’s close encounter was only a beating.
"Divine Calculator, this is for scheming against me, don’t blame me for hitting you, it would be unreasonable if I didn’t."
The Divine Calculator nodded repeatedly, his pig-headed face looking quite comical.
"Right, right, Junior Brother hit me right, I was possessed."
Seeing Chen Nan raise his hand, he instinctively shrank his head, clearly having been beaten into fear.
Chen Nan sneered, "I know you can’t stop yourself from eating shit, but don’t provoke me again."
"Next time I see you, I definitely won’t show mercy, I remember everything you’ve done to me."
After saying this, he parted ways with the Divine Calculator.
The situation of the Divine Calculator is understandable, like a pervert having a covetous obsession towards beauties.
His obsession was with those Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Secret Treasures and similar valuables.
He just didn’t expect to be taught a harsh lesson this time.
The Divine Calculator silently shed tears, feeling extremely wronged inside.
He never imagined that his schemes would ultimately lead to failure.
From the beginning, they never believed him!
"Alas, how did this Daoist offend such a vindictive person?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Initially, he chose Chen Nan because he saw the desire in Chen Nan’s eyes, thinking Chen Nan was easy to manipulate.
Even if Chen Nan wasn’t after the Mystic Yin True Water, he would still bring Chen Nan over.
Now he somewhat regretted it, realizing he shouldn’t have become enemies with Chen Nan.
But what’s done is done, and there’s no remedy.
He took out the ancient compass from his hand, feeling slightly comforted, believing that with this item, he could definitely surpass Chen Nan quickly.
"Jue Mingzi, I absolutely won’t give up. Next time I see you, I’ll take everything you have!"
...
Of course, Chen Nan didn’t know that the Divine Calculator still wouldn’t give up, but he didn’t care either.
But he knew that the ancient compass was certainly not simple; its value even possibly exceeded the Mystic Yin True Water.
Otherwise, with the Divine Calculator’s stingy nature, it’s impossible he would have handed over the Mystic Yin True Water so easily.
But none of that mattered now; the Mystic Yin True Water was what Chen Nan needed most at the moment.
Turning to look in the direction of the Divine Hall, the battle between the Demon Ancestor and the three Nascent Soul Cultivators continued.
Remembering the enormous pressure brought by the Demon Clan, Chen Nan shuddered.
"I hope we never meet again in the future."
He said silently, then quickly hurried towards the outskirts of the Southern Marsh.
At this time, the miasma in the Great Swamp was thick, and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators wouldn’t last long before being corroded by the miasma, their flesh melting away.
Even Golden Core Stage cultivators find it difficult to stay in the Great Swamp for long.
After taking a Detoxification Pill, Chen Nan quickly fled and finally left the Great Swamp after a few days.
However, his body bore marks of miasma corrosion, the scars appearing quite gruesome.
But under his strong recovery power, he quickly returned to normal.
"Now I need to find a place to refine the Mystic Yin True Water, to advance to the Golden Core!"
Chen Nan clenched his fist, his face full of excitement. This trip into the Southern Marsh was indeed worthwhile.
But soon, his excitement faded, and he even felt a chill in his heart.
Because he realized he barely had any Spirit Stones on him now.
But to condense a Golden Core, with his current Spirit Root, it would take an unknown number of Spirit Stones.
Where to find these Spirit Stones was truly a headache.
Impossible to go robbing homes and wiping out families.
The storage bags left by the hundreds of cultivators killed by the Demon Ancestor were left there too.
But unfortunately, the situation was urgent then, and Chen Nan had no chance to pick them up; otherwise, he’d have made a fortune.
Contemplating, he headed toward a distant city to sell the useless items on him and accumulate Spirit Stones.
If all else failed, he would work on Alchemy for others to earn Spirit Stones and enter the Golden Core Realm first.
Chen Nan felt a pang of emotion: "No wonder they all say the most important aspects of cultivation are the four things: techniques, companions, resources, and places, with resources being the third; clearly, one cannot do without."
Just as Chen Nan reached a clearing, he suddenly stopped.
"Having followed me all this way, aren’t you going to come out and meet?"
He seemed to be speaking to the air.
But just as his voice fell, a cold light appeared suddenly, silent and unnoticed until it was about to strike him.
Chen Nan forcefully executed the "Seven Stars Stepping Gang Technique," his body suddenly flashing out as he looked towards where the cold light emerged.
There, a figure gradually appeared, as if walking out of the void.
"Yama Hall?"
Aside from that place, Chen Nan couldn’t think of anywhere else with such exquisite concealment techniques, even the attacks were undetectable.
"Hehehe, you’re smart, but unfortunately, a mission from Yama Hall has never failed, you must die!"
Being repeatedly assassinated, no matter how good-tempered one is, it becomes unbearable.
"How did you know I wasn’t dead?"
Chen Nan regretted asking after speaking, because even the Hehuan Sect’s demoness Yao Li found out he wasn’t dead, so it wasn’t surprising that Yama Hall could.
Clearly, a way to resolve the assassination threats was needed.
