In Modu,
Chen Shu arrived in Modu that very day, thanks to the spatial teleportation skill of the Space Rabbit.
“As expected of the most economically prosperous city in the country…”
Chen Shu gazed at the surrounding tall buildings, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Modu’s resident Beast Tamers and overall strength were inferior to those in the capital, and it couldn’t compare to the resource-rich Dragon River Province, where many strong individuals gathered.
However, due to its unique geographical location, most domestic and international beast taming resource trades were conducted here, which also led to its immense economic prosperity.
“Let’s head to the local Imperial Dragon Guard department first…”
Chen Shu looked at his phone. He had tried calling Fang Si, but there was no answer. He surmised she had likely gone into another dimension again.
The next second, his body vanished and instantly reappeared in front of a luxurious building.
“This is almost comparable to headquarters…”
Chen Shu glanced at the Imperial Dragon Guard department and walked straight in.
As soon as he entered, someone was already waiting for him.
“Brother Fiend?”
A man in black with a golden armband looked at Chen Shu.
Despite being older than Chen Shu, his eyes were filled with adoration and respect.
“Hm?”
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.
The man made a gesture and said, “The Minister has been waiting for a long time. Please.”
The two took the elevator to the highest floor of the building, arriving at the Minister’s office in the innermost section.
“Minister, he has arrived.”
The man brought Chen Shu to the department and then turned to leave.
“Little Chen, sit.”
A man over fifty, but remarkably well-built, stood up and smiled slightly at Chen Shu.
His demeanor was relaxed, but his heart was somewhat heavy.
As a King-tier cultivator, he could actually sense a hint of danger from Chen Shu…
No wonder he was called the number one Golden Beast Tamer internationally!
Chen Shu was also sizing up the man before him, not expecting him to be a King-tier Beast Tamer!
However, as the Minister of the Imperial Dragon Guard in Modu, it was reasonable for him to possess such strength.
On one hand, it allowed him to protect the city, and on the other hand, it could deter foreign Beast Tamers who came for trade.
“As expected of the legendary Southern River Fiend!”
A hint of admiration flashed in the Imperial Dragon Guard Minister’s eyes.
Chen Shu nodded and said, “Minister’s praise.”
“…”
The man was momentarily stunned, then his mouth twitched, and he said,
“Big brother, that character is pronounced ‘miu’…”
Is he illiterate from Huaxia Academy?
Chen Shu shrugged and said lightly, “It means the same thing… the same thing…”
“…”
The Minister shook his head, no longer dwelling on the topic.
A fiend, a bit illiterate, was understandable…
“I am Zhang Jianguo, Minister of the Imperial Dragon Guard. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
The man extended his hand, and Chen Shu clasped it briefly.
However, at that moment, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, wanting to test Chen Shu’s strength.
He instantly applied force with his right hand. A King-tier’s physical quality was no joke.
However, Chen Shu remained calm, even starting to exert his own strength.
Their right hands clasped, and a contest began.
Chen Shu also wanted to see the gap in physical quality between himself and a King-tier.
“Hm?”
Zhang Jianguo’s expression changed in surprise, realizing Chen Shu was not simple. He increased his grip further.
However, no matter how hard he tried, Chen Shu appeared as calm and composed as ever, without the slightest hint of surprise.
‘Could this guy withstand the strength of a King-tier?’
He raised an eyebrow, a thought forming in his mind, wanting to try with his full might.
But just then, his body trembled.
Chen Shu’s left hand, at some unknown time, held a blue urea bag…
Looking at the sinister smile on Chen Shu’s lips, he instantly let go…
If he guessed correctly, if he had used his full strength, this fellow would have certainly ensnared him.
In fact, Zhang Jianguo’s guess was not wrong…
Chen Shu had already realized that his physical strength was indeed inferior to that of a King-tier.
But this did not mean his combat power. With the help of the divine urea bag, he was confident in subduing even a King-tier.
Of course, this was purely physical confrontation. If he brought his contracted spirits, he would still be no match for a King-tier.
Seeing that the other party still held the urea bag, Zhang Jianguo said with a hint of vigilance,
“Little Chen, what is this?”
“It’s my first meeting, and I don’t have any good gifts. I specifically prepared this for Minister Zhang.”
Chen Shu smiled slightly and handed over the blue urea bag.
“You’re too kind, too kind…”
Zhang Jianguo nodded with a smile, simultaneously feeling relieved.
Chen Shu holding the urea bag indeed gave people a great sense of pressure.
“I won’t beat around the bush.”
Zhang Jianguo picked up a file from the desk and handed it to Chen Shu, saying,
“Fang Si strongly recommended that you participate. In fact, even if she hadn’t said anything, headquarters would have assigned you a spot.”
“A spot?”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, already connecting it to something.
As expected, Zhang Jianguo nodded and said,
“It’s an upcoming ruin! But it’s a bit unusual…”
“Unusual?”
Chen Shu was slightly surprised, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“Its rules seem to have been overturned.”
Zhang Jianguo said slowly, “The specific information is on here. Take a look yourself.”
Chen Shu nodded and focused on the information about the ruin.
“Sky Ruin…”
“Location: Nightmare-level Otherworld [Endless Swamp]…”
As half an hour passed,
Chen Shu’s expression gradually became a bit strange. It was indeed a very unusual ruin.
According to the information provided, there were no checkpoints within the ruin, not even a hint of any guidance.
The ruin only contained countless illusory beings roaming about. As long as they were killed, there was a chance to obtain rewards…
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a smile on his lips, and said,
“So I just have to kill indiscriminately?”
“No…”
Zhang Jianguo shook his head and said,
“Actually, the rewards from killing are not high, but we have no other way, as there are simply no rules or checkpoints.”
“We speculate that this is a semi-finished ruin…”
