Qin Tian did not stand on ceremony and naturally sat over, completely unaware of the trap in Chen Shu's words.
"By the way, Principal, you must have come to find me for something, right?"
Chen Shu's gaze fell upon the backpack in Qin Tian's hand. The other party usually didn't carry such a thing.
"Your materials have been synthesized!"
Qin Tian placed the backpack on the table, a smile on his lips.
"Success?"
Chen Shu was overjoyed and said, "As expected of me, the chosen one, to obtain it with just ten years of my lifespan."
He quickly opened the backpack. Inside, a heart, blazing like fire, was stored in a container. It was covered with flame patterns, appearing somewhat bizarre.
"..."
The four of them froze, truly something else, aren't you...
A Liang said, "Isn't it just a ferocious beast material? I think ten years of lifespan is more important..."
"It's not my lifespan."
Chen Shu pouted and said casually.
"..."
A Liang and the others fell silent again. It seemed they had misunderstood Chen Shu once more...
"There's no probability of failure, right?"
Chen Shu asked, as his [Ice Control] had succeeded directly back then.
"Of course."
Qin Tian nodded, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes.
"Goo goo! Goo goo!"
Chen Shu opened Xiao Huang's beast-taming space and threw the flame heart to the slime.
In a short while, a fiery glow appeared in its eyes but quickly vanished, indicating it had already digested it.
"Got it!"
Chen Shu had been staring at the status panel and saw the new talent immediately, displaying it for all to see.
[Flame Immunity (Evolvable): Immune to 90% of flame damage. If related skills or talents are comprehended, it will be absorbed and converted into evolution experience.]
"As expected, a low-spec version of Fire Control..."
Chen Shu's expression brightened, showing no disappointment.
As long as he comprehended similar flame defense skills, he could gradually evolve it into [Fire Control]. At that time, Xiao Huang would be immune to both ice and fire.
Generally speaking, ice and fire attributes are relatively common elemental types, meaning that dual ice and fire immunity would have a considerable scope of application.
"Comfortable, comfortable!"
Chen Shu grinned and closed Xiao Huang's beast-taming space.
"Another monstrous skill."
A Liang and the others muttered, their eyes filled with envy.
They had all witnessed [Ice Control]. In the future, any enemies with ice or fire attributes who encountered Chen Shu would likely weep uncontrollably.
"I feel like I can beat up Old Liu now!"
Chen Shu said contentedly, then asked,
"By the way, Principal, where is he? I haven't seen him for a long time."
When Chen Shu first returned to school, he had seen Liu Feng, but he hadn't seen him since, and it had been over a month.
"Him?"
Qin Tian sighed, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Huh?!"
Chen Shu and the other three's hearts tightened, and they immediately turned to look. Could something bad have happened?
"Alas..."
Qin Tian shook his head again, as if filled with regret.
"No, Principal, can you just say it directly..."
"He..."
Qin Tian composed himself and slowly said, "He might be breaking through..."
"???"
Chen Shu and the others twitched their lips. So this was the reason for your hesitation?
"Principal, breaking through isn't dying. You're acting so sad, it's like we're observing a moment of silence."
Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, pouting.
"What do you know?!"
Qin Tian glared at him and said, "He's about to become a King-tier! Then he'll be on equal footing with me! Will the Principal's position still be secure!"
"..." Da Feng Novel Network
Chen Shu and the others all pouted. What a scheming old man!
Just then, A Liang asked,
"That's not right. Didn't Teacher Liu have some inner demons? He's breaking through so easily?"
"It might be because of Chen Shu."
Qin Tian smiled and said,
"You saved him back then. I saw that Old Liu's inner turmoil had subsided quite a bit. Haven't you seen the wheelchair smoking from overuse?"
"..."
Chen Shu and the others pondered for a moment. Liu Feng did seem a bit different back then.
Qin Tian added, "Coupled with the fierce beast incident giving him some enlightenment, he went into seclusion to try and make a breakthrough."
"I see!"
Wang Jue nodded and said excitedly, "Does that mean our teacher will be King-tier from now on?!"
"I always thought Teacher Liu was quite powerful and would become King-tier sooner or later!"
Xu Xingxing was also filled with excitement.
A Liang's eyes darted around and said, "Chen Pi, didn't you say you wanted to beat someone up just now?"
"Beat someone up? What beat up?"
Chen Shu looked confused and said, "He's my teacher. Have you all forgotten the fine tradition of respecting teachers and valuing virtue?!"
"..."
The four of them had black lines all over their faces, accustomed to Chen Shu's rapid change of demeanor.
Time passed, and the five of them enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
Because of Liu Feng's impending breakthrough, their moods became extremely joyful.
Although Qin Tian said that, he secretly hoped for Liu Feng to break through.
On a smaller scale, Huaxia Academy would gain another King-tier, making its teaching staff even stronger.
On a larger scale, China would have another top-tier combatant, which could at least alleviate some of the pressure from Longyuan.
In the evening, while they were all chatting idly, a knock sounded at the door.
"Huh?"
A Liang and the others looked startled, a hint of confusion in their eyes.
It had been too long since they heard a knock on their dorm room door.
Qin Tian and Liu Feng never used the door, Chen Shu had the teleportation skill, and A Liang and the others all had keys.
"Likely looking for me."
Chen Shu opened the door and saw a Dragon Guard standing at the entrance.
"Are you student Chen Shu?"
The Dragon Guard smiled slightly, then handed him a delicate package, saying,
"From the Beast Taming Resource Bureau!"
"Thank you."
Chen Shu nodded, took the package, and returned to the dorm.
"Treasures from the official resource bureau?"
A Liang and the others gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"Don't touch it, it's a treasure worth billions!"
Chen Shu grinned and then carefully opened the package.
Inside, there were only two bottles of blue potion, as pure as sapphires, exuding a strange charm.
"Hmm?"
Qin Tian, however, was stunned, and then his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What is this? It looks like Old Wang's elderly oral liquid..."
A Liang raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be some kind of grandpa's oral liquid?"
"Get lost!"
Chen Shu pouted, then said lightly,
"Old Qin, here's to repaying your favor!"
He smiled slightly and handed the two bottles of potion to Qin Tian.
"You redeemed this?"
Qin Tian took a deep breath. Although his expression was calm, his chest was heaving, clearly indicating his inner turmoil.
"Of course, your contracted spirit hasn't recovered, has it?"
Chen Shu shrugged and said,
"I inquired. The Resource Administration Bureau's all-purpose recovery potion can alleviate your contracted spirit's weakened state. Fortunately, I have my Moon-tier authority and Huaxia points."
Back then, Qin Tian, in order to save him, had his two contracted spirits directly ingest the potions, causing their combat power to surge and powerfully obliterate a King-tier contracted spirit.
Although Chen Shu was not in mortal danger at the time, he remembered this favor.
Especially since Duoli was an official of the Free Alliance. One wrong move could even lead to international chaos, with extremely severe consequences. Yet Qin Tian acted decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
"..."
Qin Tian's gaze was deep as he carefully took the two bottles of blue potion.
A single bottle was worth one hundred thousand Huaxia points. If purchased with Huaxia currency, it would cost a full three billion!
Even for a King-tier, this was not a small sum. A King-tier lord was not worth this much.
"I never expected..."
Qin Tian looked deeply at Chen Shu and said,
"The Scoundrel still has a conscience!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Was this praise or an insult?
