"Another good effect!"
Chen Shu smiled, it was at least a perfect match for the spatial rabbit,
Doubling the attack speed indirectly increased the probability of the first two effects.
"Hmm? The first effect seems to have changed?"
Just as he was about to close the Contracted Spirit panel, he instantly noticed the difference.
The original first effect had a "chance" to stun, but now it had a "higher chance."
Clearly, the evolution of the weapon not only added extra passives but also improved the previous attributes.
As for the second effect, perhaps because forced shattering was too overpowered, it remained a low probability.
However, it was also possible that the increase in probability was not significant enough to cause any noticeable change.
"Another huge leap!"
Chen Shu muttered to himself, his anticipation for the upcoming national beast taming competition growing.
"Chen Shu, the preview for the official competition is out!"
At this moment, A Liang excitedly shouted from the living room.
"Here it is!"
Chen Shu withdrew his contracted spirit and left the room.
He saw A Liang and the other two lying on the sofa, with a virtual screen suspended in front of them, displaying the preview for the official beast taming competition.
Chen Shu quickly joined them, also showing great concern.
He looked at the information on the screen and read aloud:
"On June 15th, the official competition for the Iron and Silver tiers will commence. Location: Holy Beast Island..."
Half an hour later, everyone had finished browsing the information, their expressions filled with excitement.
"Chen Pi, it seems there are divisions!"
A Liang pointed to the list for the Silver tier.
A total of twenty-five qualifying rounds had led to two thousand one hundred Silver contestants entering the official competition, truly the pillars of the future.
Although the official competition would not have artificially arranged opponents, there would still be some intervention.
The organizers had specifically divided a "Prodigy Group" based on the contestants' talent and performance in the qualifying rounds. This group consisted of only twenty-four individuals, all possessing exceptional talent.
According to the rules, opponents in the official competition were randomly matched.
However, there was one stipulation: members of the Prodigy Group would not face each other prematurely.
If someone managed to defeat a member of the Prodigy Group, they would smoothly replace their position and receive the same treatment.
The organizers needed to select unparalleled geniuses capable of participating in the world competition, so it was understandable to have such a Prodigy Group drawn from the strongest batch of individuals.
"Let me see!"
Chen Shu continuously browsed the Prodigy Group list. Ji Feng, Jiang Duoyu, and others were all on the roster.
Finally, he saw his own name at the very end.
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Not bad. It seems the officials have recognized my strength!"
A Liang asked, "Is it possible they were worried you'd blow up Holy Beast Island in a fit of rage...?"
"Completely possible!"
"Agreed!"
Wang Jue and Xu Xingxing quickly nodded, not expecting A Liang to have hit the nail on the head.
"My strength is also very powerful, okay?"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He said, "While throwing nuclear bombs is my signature move, don't overlook my other shining points because of it, alright?"
"Give it a rest!"
The three of them pouted and continued to look at the information about the beast taming competition.
"Huh?! The officials have released some of the rewards!"
Chen Shu's eyes instantly lit up as he saw what concerned him the most.
A Liang's expression also stiffened, and he immediately clicked on it.
Silver Tier Partial Rewards:
"100th - 200th place: Reward: Ten Silver-grade Beast Taming Pearls + twenty bottles of any Silver-grade potions!"
"30th - 100th place: Reward: One designated Silver-grade skill + forty bottles of any Silver-grade potions!"
"10th - 30th place: Reward: Two Golden Lord Core materials + one hundred bottles of any Silver-grade potions!" Da Feng Novel
"5th - 10th place: Reward: One Silver-grade True Treasure with designated attributes + one Golden-grade skill!"
"Rewards for the top five will be gradually announced as the competition progresses. Please stay tuned!"
Chen Shu's body trembled continuously, appearing to be afflicted with a severe illness.
"I say, Chen Pi, do you have to be like this?"
Although A Liang and the other two were equally excited, seeing Chen Shu's demeanor made them unable to hold back.
"Occupational hazard, I'll be fine after a short rest!"
Chen Shu lay on the sofa, taking deep breaths.
"..."
The three of them were speechless, but looking at the rewards, they were quite shocked.
Such a grand gesture was likely something only the major powers of the world could offer.
Just the rewards for 5th-10th place, receiving a Silver-grade True Treasure and a Golden skill, would cost at least three billion on the market, and you might not even be able to buy them with money.
The rewards for the top five were probably even more incredible, and they couldn't even imagine the champion's reward.
"Huh? Chen Shu, someone online has analyzed the popular contestants for the Silver tier championship!"
A Liang finished browsing the official information and then saw a post related to the competition.
He clicked on it, and the post was written by a blogger with millions of followers, listing the ten most top-tier geniuses in China.
"No need to guess, I must be on it!"
Chen Shu forcefully suppressed his excitement, regained his composure, and his gaze shifted to the screen in front of him.
Top Genius Ranking (Order does not represent strength):
"Jiang Wenchen: The contemporary eldest son of the Jiang family, a beast taming family. His level is Silver two-star. He single-handedly overwhelmed his opponents in the qualifying rounds with just one contracted spirit! Rumored to be the most outstanding person from the Jiang family in hundreds of years! Combat Power Rating: Five Stars."
"Ji Feng: Heir of the Ji family, a beast taming family. His level is Silver two-star. His strength is unfathomable, and countless geniuses wish to gain his recognition! Combat Power Rating: Five Stars!"
"Wang Sheng: His father is the captain of the nation's number one ranked King's Beast Taming Regiment. His level is Silver two-star. It is rumored that his three contracted spirits have been cultivated to their peak! Combat Power Rating: Five Stars!"
"..."
Chen Shu browsed the list one by one, his expression gradually becoming puzzled.
"I'm not on here as the Nanjiang Bandit?!"
He looked at A Liang and the other two, saying indignantly:
"Without me on the list, I can only say it lacks a bit of credibility..."
"Who said you're not on it?"
A Liang raised an eyebrow and pointed to the end of the list.
There, a line of text was displayed, specifically in striking red:
"Special Individual: Chen Shu, the top genius from Huaxia University, nicknamed the Nanjiang Bandit!"
"Based on scientific analysis, his combat power shouldn't be too strong, but he has repeatedly defied science, making his strength unassessable!"
"Combat Power Rating: None! Danger Rating: Max!"
"Blogger's Friendly Reminder: This individual is ferocious in personality and arrogant in his actions! If you happen to encounter him, do not provoke him! Can't we just live peacefully..."
