Half an hour later, Chen Shu and the other two arrived at Beast Taming Hall No. 2. Inside, two people were facing each other.
"Teacher, you're here!" Ouyang Bao waved his hand, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Mm, what's the situation?" Chen Shu walked over and asked.
Before Ouyang Bao could speak, the man opposite him spoke first.
"You are Chen Shu, the number one genius in the academy?" The man smiled, his eyes filled with arrogance, and said, "I am Li Sen, the top scorer in the college entrance examination for Dawang City!"
"Hello!" Chen Shu extended his hand and shook it lightly, immediately sensing his physical fitness. *A normal person?* In his eyes, there was confusion. *A basic beast tamer dares to challenge me?*
"I'm here today to defeat you!" Li Sen declared, "Among those at the same level, I have never lost, nor will I ever!"
"..." Chen Shu found it a bit amusing. He had expected a monstrous new student, but instead, he got a hothead.
Chen Shu turned and said, "Ouyang Bao, are you messing with me?"
"Master, I really wasn't!" Ouyang Bao said innocently, "I received his call early this morning, and as soon as he arrived, he asked me if your level was Black Iron!"
"And then?"
"I said no, and he immediately got all excited, insisting on challenging you!"
"..." Chen Shu's mouth twitched. So, if he wasn't Black Iron, he must be basic?
"Young man, don't you go online usually?" Logically, there should be his combat videos and various information online. How could someone be so ignorant?
"Since I was scammed out of eight thousand yuan in an online relationship, I've never been online again!" Li Sen said calmly, "The internet is too deep; I can't handle it!"
"..." Chen Shu's mouth twitched. *Where on earth did this person crawl out from?*
He turned away directly, uninterested in wasting time with a hothead. At that moment, an option appeared before his eyes.
[Option 1: Accept the challenge and defeat Li Sen! Completion Reward: Enhanced Burning Potion *1, Berserk Potion *2]
[Option 2: Directly pull out a urine bag and give the young man a heartfelt greeting! Completion Reward: Five Silver-grade Beast Taming Pearls]
[Option 3: Refuse the challenge and leave! Completion Reward: Small amount of Beast Taming Power]
Chen Shu was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected a new student to trigger an option for him. He looked back and forth at the options. He had initially locked onto the second option, but the reward wasn't very satisfying. Moreover, the Enhanced Burning Potion made his heart flutter... The previous explosive potion had been so effective that Han Fei had become addicted to it!
"You're quite lucky, kid!" Chen Shu turned and smiled, saying, "In that case, I'll have a match with you!"
"Really?" Li Sen's eyes widened with surprise. As long as he defeated Chen Shu, he would be the number one genius in the academy. Wouldn't he soar to the top?
Chen Shu asked, "Do you have a wager?"
"What wager?"
"You don't even know your Brother Han Fei's rules!" Chen Shu shook his head and said, "If you lose, promise me one thing, how about it?"
"No problem!" Li Sen agreed without hesitation, his mind set on victory and fame.
"Let's begin!" He walked to the edge of the competition stage and summoned his contracted spirit.
*Roar!* A contracted spirit, entirely crimson and resembling a leopard, appeared. It looked fierce, with two tails at its rear.
"Hmm? An SS-grade contracted spirit?" Chen Shu immediately recognized the contracted spirit's grade. He had fought with contracted spirits of various grades and was adept at distinguishing them. Although the contracted spirit before him was only level nine, its aura was extraordinary!
"You can actually recognize it?" Li Sen's eyes were filled with pride. "If you're not confident, then concede!"
Chen Shu smiled at this and directly summoned his nine-meter-tall slime.
"Hmm?" Li Sen was slightly stunned, not expecting the opponent's contracted spirit to be so large! However, he had absolute confidence. Potential rating represented combat power!
Li Sen said solemnly, "Let me test the strength of the number one genius!"
Just as he was about to attack, the space beside the slime suddenly tore open.
"Awooo!" A husky hopped out and onto the competition stage. It looked at the opposing contracted spirit and was momentarily stunned. *Fighting such a weak contracted spirit?* It didn't even dare to unleash its skills, fearing it would instantly obliterate it. The husky yipped, thinking what a foolish contracted spirit. The intellectual dominance made it wear a smug smile!
"You?" Li Sen's eyes widened as he pointed at Ouyang Bao, saying, "Didn't you say he wasn't Black Iron level?!"
"I really wasn't!" Chen Shu shrugged. At that moment, the space beside the two contracted spirits tore open again. A plump rabbit hopped out, carrying a three-meter giant carrot, exuding an oppressive aura.
*Hoo hoo~~* Its gaze was shrewd, constantly sizing up the opponent's contracted spirit, its eyes filled with eagerness.
*Woo~~* Li Sen's contracted spirit trembled. It immediately sensed something was wrong, especially a strange chill emanating from its rear...
"You have three contracted spirits?!" Li Sen's expression was stunned, and he was momentarily bewildered. *What foolish thing have I done?! I actually wanted to challenge a Silver-grade beast tamer?!*
Chen Shu grinned and said, "Can we begin now?"
*Hoo hoo~~* The spatial rabbit vanished instantly and appeared in the air, preparing to knock the opponent unconscious before torturing it. However, it missed! Of course, it wasn't because the opponent had dodged, but because Li Sen had recalled his contracted spirit. They were two major levels apart; what was there to fight?
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You concede?"
"Big brother... I admit I might have spoken a bit too loudly just now..." Li Sen chuckled dryly, saying, "Is there any possibility that we were just joking around..."
"Of course, it's possible!" Chen Shu walked over and said, "Now you owe me a favor!" His gaze was peculiar as he sized up Li Sen, unable to resist chuckling.
"Big brother, I'm a decent person; I sell talent, not myself!"
"Hmm?"
"Uh... I sell talent, but not myself!"
"Get lost!" Chen Shu shouted, "What you sell is none of my business!"
Li Sen said mournfully, "Big brother, what do you want?"
"Simple!" Chen Shu snapped his fingers and said, "Help me recruit people!"
"Recruit whom?"
"Given your good talent, you must be among the best of the new students!" Chen Shu smiled and said, "At least forty of the top fifty new students must be in my urine bag club!"
"How is that possible?!" Li Sen exclaimed. Some people would join the Beast Taming Association, or no club at all. Gathering forty people would be too difficult!
Chen Shu smiled faintly and directly pulled out a butcher knife, holding it to Li Sen's neck.
"Is it still possible now?"
"..." Li Sen's eyes contracted, and his body trembled slightly. *Is he serious?*
