Chen Shu's face wore a mocking smile,
You think you're fooling me? Ten billion to buy the life of his contracted spirit!
"Farewell!"
Chen Shu shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to the other party, and left the room.
"Seeking death…"
The middle-aged man watched his retreating back and muttered,
Having Chen Shu voluntarily surrender was merely an added safeguard; whether he accepted or not, the outcome would remain unchanged.
Soon, it was Chen Shu's turn to enter the arena.
"The first death match is about to begin, and I'm sure everyone has been eagerly awaiting it! Each person has five minutes for betting!"
At this moment, Chen Shu and his opponent took their positions.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu sized up his opponent. He had expected an older beast tamer, but this person was roughly his own age.
He asked, "My opponent is you?"
However, the other party completely ignored him, closing his eyes to rest.
"Don't you understand Chinese?"
Chen Shu frowned and said,
"Betting time has ended, the match officially begins!"
Chen Shu also bet his entire 250 million on himself to win, with odds of 1:1.
Clearly, the beast taming arena considered his opponent's strength to be on par with his.
Despite this, the vast majority still bet on Chen Shu to win,
His invincible performance last night had left too deep an impression.
"Bet, go ahead and bet!"
The owner of the beast taming arena smiled,
With just one match today, he would recoup all the losses of the arena!
The young man below spoke, "Your talent is good, but there's a gap between people!"
Saying this, he summoned his contracted spirit.
Whoosh!
A small blue tree appeared, swaying its leaves and emitting a chilling aura.
"A plant contracted spirit?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, his expression shifting slightly.
He had seen plant contracted spirits that were basically healing types; he hadn't expected one of the ice element.
"I'll tell you, it's an SS-grade Ice Demon Tree!"
The youth spoke fluent Chinese, a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
"It's your honor to die by my hand!"
"Remember my Chinese name: Lu Yu!"
He had watched Chen Shu's battles last night; if it were him, he could have done the same!
"Where is your other contracted spirit?"
Chen Shu summoned his contracted spirit and looked at his opponent.
"Truly ignorant!"
Lu Yu chuckled and pointed to the Ice Demon Tree below.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. He saw a blue vine wrapped around the trunk of the Ice Demon Tree, moving slowly like a venomous snake.
Lu Yu sneered and said, "My other contracted spirit is S-grade. How do you expect to fight me?"
"So, both your contracted spirits are half-crippled?"
Chen Shu's expression was peculiar.
He hadn't expected someone to awaken two plant contracted spirits, and both of the ice element.
Lu Yu spoke, "Hmph! For every gain, there is a loss. I will show you what true skills are!"
"Indeed powerful!"
Chen Shu nodded in agreement and wasted no more time.
"Gu Ji!"
The slime used [Charge], its speed skyrocketing, instantly lunging forward.
Hiss hiss hiss!
At this moment, an ice wall appeared in front of it, forcefully blocking the slime.
Simultaneously, the blue vine swayed slightly, shining with the light of its skills.
Hiss hiss!
A small ice cage appeared around the husky's body.
"Let's see how you fight me!"
Lu Yu smiled faintly. With the husky controlled, the opponent essentially had no chance of winning.
Chen Shu shook his head and issued another command to the slime.
"Gu Ji!"
The slime didn't ram the ice wall head-on but leaped up, soaring above the Ice Demon Tree.
"Useless!"
Lu Yu chuckled. Another horizontal ice wall condensed above the Ice Demon Tree, supported by two ice pillars below.
"Not enough to watch!"
Chen Shu shook his head. The slime's body suddenly grew ten times larger, transforming into a yellow mountain!
"Huh?!"
Lu Yu's eyes widened, his expression startled, and he muttered to himself:
"What is this?!"
Boom!
[Violent Sit-Kill] combined with its massive size, directly shattered the ice wall, sending ice shards scattering across the ground.
The two plant-type contracted spirits could only watch as the slime sat down, despair welling up in their hearts.
"His combat experience is this terrible?"
Chen Shu shook his head. The opponent didn't seem like a criminal, more like a family genius.
Lu Yu hadn't realized he was at a disadvantage the entire time.
Two plant-type contracted spirits, weren't they just gifts for the taking?
"Hmm?"
Lu Yu's expression changed drastically. His contracted spirits couldn't use skills anymore?!
"You can write your will now!"
Chen Shu smiled. The husky, which had been controlled, released an ice ball.
[Dog Shadow Trace] activated, and its body instantly teleported fifty meters forward.
At the same time, the slime's size shrunk, perfectly revealing the Ice Demon Tree's body.
"You can't kill me!"
Lu Yu's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted to stop him.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's brow twitched. He inadvertently noticed the tattoo on the back of the other party's hand!
Church?
At this moment, Lu Yu actually recalled both his contracted spirits.
This was a violation of the rules of the bloody beast taming arena!
"He's provoking the beast taming arena, truly seeking death!"
"What a shame, now even he himself is going to be dealt with…"
The bettors around smiled, as if watching a show.
If one dared to recall their contracted spirits prematurely, the beast tamer themselves would face immediate death.
Screech!
At this moment, a large bird engulfed in flames appeared, powerfully breaking through the protective shield of the arena stage.
"Holy crap! A Gold-tier Beast Tamer?!"
Everyone in the arena exclaimed, not expecting a Gold-tier expert to intervene.
The firebird flew in, landing directly beside Lu Yu.
Its gaze held murderous intent, and with a clear cry,
A stream of fire breath attacked, aimed directly at Chen Shu.
A moment of life-or-death crisis ensued!
Chen Shu's expression remained unchanged. A bottle of potion appeared in his hand, and he recalled his contracted spirit.
Boom!
The flames spewed forth, directly destroying the shield.
Chen Shu's entire fighting position was engulfed in flames, and scorching heat radiated outwards.
"Who dares to cause trouble?!"
Only then did the Gold-tier beast tamer of the bloody beast taming arena arrive, belatedly.
Screech!
Lu Yu mounted the firebird, spread its wings, and directly flew away from the arena.
The entire beast taming arena descended into chaos, with many people wanting to escape as quickly as possible.
Once Gold-tier experts engaged in battle, the residual energy was not something they could withstand.
But the expected great battle did not occur.
The firebird escaped, but the Gold-tier beast tamer did not pursue.
The venue gradually stabilized.
"Everyone, there's no need to worry!"
An old man riding a flying dragon arrived in the center of the beast taming arena, calming the crowd.
The aura of a Gold-tier expert spread, bringing relief to everyone.
The spectators returned to their seats.
"Damn, bringing bodyguards to a death match? Truly shameless!"
"What a shame for the Nanjiang Brute, gone so easily!"
"Fortunately, we won our bets. If he's dead, he's dead. We can burn some paper for him later!"
The audience chattered amongst themselves, but none seemed too concerned about Chen Shu's fate.
The flames on the fighting platform were extinguished, but Chen Shu had long since disappeared, not even a trace of ash left behind…
In a private room of the beast taming arena,
"Lu Yu actually lost? And so quickly!"
The owner of the beast taming arena muttered to himself, not expecting such a result.
A staff member entered and asked,
"Boss, how should the bets be handled?"
"What else can we do? We can't possibly kill everyone, can we?"
He shook his head and said, "Give it to them as usual. Consider it a loss."
"Fortunately, that brat is dead. Otherwise, the arena would have to keep losing money!"
At this moment, a cold glint appeared in Chen Shu's eyes.
If he hadn't used a teleportation potion to escape beforehand, he would have likely perished on the spot.
He held a bottle of gray potion in his hand, a smile on his lips, and muttered to himself,
"Since you dare to cheat, I can only retaliate!"
