The next morning, at Beast Tamer Hall Number One,
Wang Yuan had been waiting inside early, feeling uncertain, even suspecting he had been tricked.
"Still not here?"
He frowned, as he was still the only one in the entire arena.
He muttered to himself, "Just to waste my money?"
Since he didn't have a student card, he had rented a battle arena using Chinese Yuan, which was several times more expensive than the halls outside.
But as he was pondering, the arena doors opened, and four people slowly walked in.
"They're here?"
Wang Yuan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
A smile curved his lips, and he said, "I didn't expect you to actually dare to come!"
"Did you think I would be afraid?"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "I've even defeated a Beast Emperor. You, a mere Gold Beast Tamer, are no match for me!"
He scanned the surroundings, a hint of regret in his eyes.
He had originally wanted the entire school to watch, but because it was a battle between Gold-level combatants, the arena's defensive shield might not be able to withstand it.
If, by chance, others were accidentally injured, it would be troublesome...
"Chen Pi, the principal isn't here. Won't this beast taming hall be smashed to pieces..."
A Liang's eyes held a trace of worry.
With the current technological advancements, it was no longer able to block the fighting power of Gold-level combatants. They had originally intended to ask Qin Tian to come and erect a defensive shield using earth element spirits.
But unfortunately, Qin Tian had something to do today and didn't even answer his phone.
"No need to worry."
Chen Shu said softly, then his gaze shifted to Wang Yuan, and he said,
"Let me remind you first: whoever loses will have to fully compensate for all the damaged facilities!"
"No problem!"
Confidence blazed in Wang Yuan's eyes, and he said, "Instead of worrying about the buildings, you should worry about yourself!"
The defensive equipment on the battle stage could withstand the momentary power of Gold-level combatants, but it couldn't hold up against sustained attacks.
"Before the battle begins, let's discuss the stakes first!"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, not rushing to start.
"Didn't we already agree?"
Wang Yuan spoke, "If I win, all of Wang Jue's family shares go to me. If I lose, I won't be involved in the dispute anymore."
"You're daydreaming, aren't you?"
Chen Shu scoffed and said,
"This is Old Wang's money to begin with. If you win, you get it for free. If you lose, you won't lose anything. Do you really think our Dorm 333 is a charity?"
"Hmm?"
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Then what do you want?"
"You can bet two hundred billion!"
Chen Shu said calmly, "The shares Old Wang holds are worth more than that. Actually, you're still making a profit."
"Impossible!"
Wang Yuan refused outright. Even though he was confident, he didn't dare to gamble that high.
If he lost, he might not even be able to leave the Huaxia Academy...
Wang Yuan stated, "I can only give you five hundred million. That's my bottom line! If that's not acceptable, I will forfeit the match!"
His eyes were filled with caution, refusing to be led by Chen Shu.
"Fine! Truly shameless!"
Chen Shu nodded and said,
"But I'll add one condition: if you lose, you have to drink my specially made laxative tea!"
"Laxative tea?"
Wang Yuan was slightly taken aback. What kind of strange fetish was this?
"Alright, I agree!"
He nodded. With his Gold-level physique, he could basically be immune to all kinds of poisons, let alone a mere laxative.
"Let's begin!"
Chen Shu nodded, stepping onto the battle stage first, simultaneously summoning his three contracted spirits.
From afar, A Liang and the other two kept their distance, fearing they might be caught in the collateral damage.
A Liang's eyes held some concern as he said, "Old Wang, if you really win, are you sure such a shameless person will keep his word and stop bothering you?"
"Of course not."
Wang Jue shook his head and said, "But as long as Chen Shu can defeat him, it will make him wary, and our goal will still be achieved."
Just then, both sides had summoned their contracted spirits.
"Gu Ji! Gu Ji!"
A faint glow appeared in Xiao Huang's eyes, and its body suddenly expanded!
In an instant, a body spanning a hundred meters appeared, transforming into a small mountain peak, exerting immense pressure.
Chen Shu deliberately didn't unleash its maximum size, hiding some of his strength.
However, even so, it still managed to shock Wang Yuan.
He had only seen Chen Shu's Slime on television, and at that time, he just thought it was a very large contracted spirit.
But now, seeing it with his own eyes, he hadn't expected it to be so enormous...
"Wait a moment!"
There was vigilance in Wang Yuan's eyes, and he said,
"Let's fight it normally. Don't do that stuff from low-level beast tamer duels."
Looking at the Slime's size, he dared not stand directly below the battle stage.
If the protective shield was breached by a skill, this fellow might directly use his contracted spirit to deal with him personally.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu frowned slightly, then chuckled, "Are you a little scared?"
"Hmph!"
Wang Yuan snorted coldly. He wouldn't dare to attack Chen Shu himself, but this guy dared to attack him, which was already a bit unfair.
"Then I'll let you have an advantage."
Chen Shu shrugged and took a step, using a spatial portal to enter Xiao Huang's mouth.
Wang Yuan also took a step, arriving on the back of a giant blue crocodile. A circle of ice appeared around him, protecting him.
The duel between the two officially began!
Wang Yuan's four contracted spirits were not weak. Despite his arrogance, he possessed talent.
He had also graduated from Huaxia Academy back then, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enter the academy so easily.
Wang Yuan's four contracted spirits were an SS+ Ice Giant Crocodile, an SS Flame Silkworm, an S+ support-type Gleaming Spirit, and a defensive-type Thorn Dragon.
"As expected, the Ice and Fire are the main forces..."
A smile played on Chen Shu's lips, excitement in his eyes.
When Wang Jue had told him about Wang Yuan's contracted spirits, he had already determined that he could handle him with ease.
"Roar!"
Instantly, the Ice Giant Crocodile grew to ten meters in length. Frost spread across its blue scales, and its aura was incredibly ferocious.
On its back, the Gleaming Spirit flapped its wings, and a dazzling light permeated, merging into the body of the Ice Giant Crocodile.
In an instant, its Ice attribute surged again, reaching the level of a Gold Two-star.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—
A blue light appeared in the giant crocodile's eyes, and the temperature of the entire battle stage dropped significantly. Frost even began to form on the protective shield.
In the blink of an eye, blue ice cubes appeared everywhere on the battle stage, as if it had transformed into a world of ice and snow.
"Let me show you the strength of a Gold-level!"
A mocking look flashed in Wang Yuan's eyes, as if he could already see the outcome.
"This guy still thinks he's going to win..."
A Liang shook his head, a hint of pity in his eyes.
At the world competition, due to the broadcast equipment being shut down prematurely, the global audience had missed the classic scene of the Slime tanking a Silver Monarch's attack...
Boom, boom, boom!
At that moment, countless ice spikes shot towards the Slime, preparing to eliminate it first!
Xiao Huang, however, seemed oblivious, simply sleeping soundly in place.
"Is this what a world champion is?"
Wang Yuan muttered to himself, "Giving up resistance right from the start?"
