"???"
Everyone's expression froze. Was this what they called clarification?
"Nanjiang Fierce Bandit?"
At this moment, a man in black walked over, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu looked back and saw the golden arm badge on the man's right arm.
His expression instantly solidified. He had bumped into trouble again?
"Uh... what fierce bandit? I don't know him at all!"
Chen Shu shrugged and, with A Liang and the others, immediately merged into the crowd.
"Damn it, I finally tried to be high-profile, and ended up so pathetic!"
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man wasn't pursuing them.
"This kid..."
The man touched his chin and smiled, shaking his head. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Captain Wang, what's wrong?"
At this moment, three boys wearing similar arm badges ran over.
"Nothing."
Captain Wang didn't say much and asked, "Did you successfully register?"
"Yes, we registered."
The three boys nodded excitedly. They were newly promoted Dragon Guards, also Silver-ranked, and under twenty-five years old, so they were eligible to register.
"It's a shame Brother Ling Chen can't register. Otherwise, he would definitely take first place!"
One boy sighed with regret in his eyes.
"Alright, who told him he's twenty-five? Besides, the national competition is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even if he participated, he might not win the championship."
The Dragon Guard captain shook his head and led the three away from the building.
"Please register me for the Silver group!"
Chen Shu and the others had arrived at the registration area.
The staff member took his ID card and checked his information, murmuring to himself.
"Chen Shu, Huaxia Academy, two... twenty years old?!"
Her eyes widened, disbelief in them. She looked back and forth twice, finally confirming it was true.
"Chen Pi, you're twenty?!"
A Liang and the others turned to look. They were in their second year of university, so they should be nineteen.
"Of course!"
Chen Shu curled his lips and said, "As the top genius of the academy, isn't it reasonable for me to have repeated kindergarten?"
"..."
A Liang and the others widened their eyes. It turned out the fierce bandit also had unpleasant memories.
Chen Shu said, "Please register me!"
"Oh, okay."
The staff member finally reacted and quickly processed his registration with an extremely good attitude.
"Mr. Chen, your registration is complete."
The staff member smiled and said, "The schedule will be automatically sent to your phone. Please pay attention to it."
"Thank you."
Chen Shu nodded and took back his ID card.
"The three of us are registering for the Black Iron team competition!"
A Liang and the two others quickly crowded over, looking extremely excited.
The staff member took their ID cards and looked at the information, sighing.
"It seems there are still more ordinary people..."
"???"
A Liang and the other two twitched their mouths. This was a bit too insulting...
The staff member ignored their expressions and asked, "What's your team name?"
"Team name?"
The three of them paused slightly, clearly not expecting this part.
After a while, A Liang's eyes rolled. "How about 'The Handsome Combo', I'm Handsome!"
"???"
Wang Jue and Xiao Xing turned to look at him with strange expressions.
You've said it all, what else can we say?
Xu Xingxing pondered for a moment and said, "Then I am... the combo."
At that instant, Wang Jue's breathing hitched. The pressure was all on him.
Chen Shu and the others also looked over, with subtle anticipation.
"Get lost!"
Old Wang directly refused to play along and turned to leave. In the end, he bore it all alone...
"No, Old Wang, don't go!"
Chen Shu and the others immediately burst into laughter and chased after him.
"What kind of people are these..."
The staff member had a strange expression, not expecting to encounter such absurd four people.
...
"Old Wang..." Da Feng Novel
Chen Shu and the others left the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association and came to the street.
Just as they were about to comfort Wang Jue, a voice came from behind.
"Chen Shu!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and looked back.
He saw a tall young man in white, with a handsome face and an outstanding temperament, unlike ordinary people.
"You're here to register too, right?"
The young man walked over, a hint of emotion in his eyes, and said.
"I originally wanted to have another match with you, but unfortunately, I'm already Silver-ranked!"
"You are the first peer I've acknowledged. Catch up to me quickly, and I will consider you my rival!"
"..."
Chen Shu and the others exchanged glances, falling into a moment of silence.
After a while, Chen Shu tentatively asked.
"May I ask who you are?"
"???"
The young man was slightly stunned, his eyes widening. "I'm treating you as my rival, and you just forgot me?"
"Long family, Long Jiang!"
"Oh~~~"
Chen Shu seemed to remember instantly.
But in the next second, he said calmly, "I have no impression at all!"
"..."
Long Jiang's head was filled with black lines. He reminded him, "The annual championship of the Kyoto Spirit Fighting Arena, the finals!"
"Hmm? I seem to recall!"
Chen Shu suddenly had an impression and immediately took out a small notebook from his bag.
"December 31st, defeated an unknown nobody, strength rating: B, probability of defeating me: 1%..."
"Stop, stop!"
Long Jiang's mouth twitched. "Can you be any more insulting?"
"I didn't expect it was you!"
Chen Shu finally remembered the man's identity and smiled, explaining.
"You changed... your shoes, I almost didn't recognize you..."
"..."
Long Jiang sighed. Since losing to Chen Shu, he had thought of countless scenarios for their reunion.
But he never expected it would make him so defensive.
"Forget it, you fight well in the Black Iron group, and we'll settle this later!"
He shook his head and was about to turn away.
"Xiao Jiang!"
Chen Shu called out to him and said, "I'm still fighting in the Black Iron tier at my age, who are you insulting here?"
"???"
A Liang and the others turned to look, their hearts instantly struck. "Are you going crazy?"
"What do you mean?"
Long Jiang's expression was stunned, and he didn't quite understand. But then he said, "You're not Silver-ranked already, are you?"
"Can't help it, can't control it!"
Chen Shu shrugged, feigning a helpless and distressed expression.
"But last year you were still Black Iron two-star?"
Long Jiang's expression stiffened, disbelief in his eyes.
He was older than Chen Shu and spent every day in his family's cultivation room, making rapid progress.
Yet, after all his hard work, he was overtaken by a student?
"Don't be so surprised!"
Chen Shu curled his lips and said, "As long as you have scientific cultivation methods, becoming Silver-ranked is not difficult at all?"
