"This panel..."
Chen Shu touched his chin, his eyes filled with excitement.
Although he hadn't learned any new talents, his [Mighty Shield], [Charge], and [Dominant Body] had all leveled up, and their skill effects had been further enhanced.
The most important aspect was the special Lord enhancement, which had leveled up [Giantization].
The impressive Lv8 Giantization could magnify his size by sixteen times, and Xiao Huang's base size had also increased.
Even in its normal form, it was thirteen meters tall. If amplified by [Giantization], it would directly expand to two hundred meters.
Moreover, it was a large sphere, making its visual impact much greater than creatures of similar size.
"Goo gi! Goo gi!"
A glint appeared in Xiao Huang's eyes, and its body suddenly expanded, almost touching the ceiling of the sparring arena!
This was the Beast Taming Hall of Huaxia Academy, but it was already struggling to accommodate the slime's battle.
Fortunately, he no longer needed to participate in any competitions and likely wouldn't visit the Beast Taming Hall often in the future.
"This thing..."
Qin Tian's eyes widened, staring straight up at the large sphere in front of him. A question naturally arose in his mind:
Are you truly a Silver Contracted Spirit?!
Based on his experience, even Gold-grade contracted spirits didn't reach this extent unless they were King-grade.
"Goo gi!"
Xiao Huang also seemed a bit excited, its large eyes darting around, feeling that its vision was incredibly expansive.
"Principal, is it acceptable..."
Chen Shu smiled slightly, a hint of pride in his eyes.
Size was the main attribute for slimes, and its importance was self-evident.
Firstly, the range and power of various attack skills were enhanced. Secondly, it had ingested a Grandmaster-grade size potion, and its size was closely related to its damage reduction ability.
Xiao Huang now might not be able to contend with Gold-grade contracted spirits, but at least it could hold its own for a while.
"Hmm, I can only say it's barely acceptable..."
Qin Tian composed himself, regaining his composure, and said lightly,
"It now has a bit of the style of my youth."
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and asked,
"Principal, did you also win a world championship in your youth?"
"..."
Qin Tian's expression froze instantly, and he became somewhat silent...
You really know how to break through my defenses...
"A trivial question..."
Qin Tian pouted and said, "Alright, put away your contracted spirit."
Chen Shu said innocently, "Principal, you haven't answered me yet..."
"Get lost!"
Qin Tian's mouth twitched, and he turned to leave the Beast Taming Hall, no longer able to stay.
"He's leaving already?"
Chen Shu's expression brightened. Looking at the damaged ceiling above, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Does this mean I don't have to pay?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Qin Tian's voice boomed from the loudspeakers around the arena:
"Go to the Dean's Office to pay the compensation. If you're short by even a cent, I'll send you to the Spirit Control Bureau!"
"..."
Chen Shu drooped his head, not expecting to escape after all...
...
In the evening, Chen Shu went to the Dean's Office.
As the Beast Taming Hall used special materials, many of which came from other dimensions, their value was naturally considerable. He had to pay a fee of several million.
"Kid, you burned down the dormitory when you first enrolled."
The teacher in the Dean's Office had a peculiar smile in his eyes, saying,
"Now in your senior year, you've broken the Beast Taming Hall again. You truly haven't forgotten your original intentions..."
"Heh heh... It's alright..."
Chen Shu gave a dry laugh and said, "Teacher, I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"Mm, go ahead."
The man nodded, then seemed to recall something and said,
"Keep up the good work. The school's renovations all depend on you!"
"..."
Chen Shu's footsteps faltered. Is he praising me or insulting me here...
...
In Dormitory 333,
As soon as Chen Shu opened the door, he saw A Liang and the others on the sofa.
"Huh? You're back?"
"Just got back. The appraisal took quite a while, too much material."
A Liang smiled, and his expression was somewhat strange as he looked Chen Shu up and down.
"What's wrong? Is there a nuclear bomb on my face?"
Chen Shu's expression stiffened, his eyes filled with confusion. What kind of look was that?
A Liang said, "The school forum is all about you..."
"Hmm? What did I do?"
Chen Shu took the computer from A Liang and looked at the information on the forum.
[Shocking! South Jiang Bandit Fights Principal Qin Tian Above the Academy to Contend for the Position of Principal!]
[Pure nonsense upstairs, it's clearly the bandit who buried 108,000 nuclear bombs underground, but Qin Tian accidentally discovered it, and then they fought!]
[This is the real news. It's rumored that the bandit ran out of money and specifically approached Qin Tian, wanting to extract some gold coins.]
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Could this get any more absurd...
He asked, "Aren't these people afraid of Qin Tian finding trouble with them?"
A Liang shrugged and said,
"It's a public forum, and it's not real-name registered. As the saying goes, a virtual network is a virtual home, and a virtual ancestral grave is not afraid of being dug up..."
"..."
Chen Shu smiled at this, no longer paying it any mind.
He had also been a prominent figure online, so he could understand the current audacious behavior of these people...
"But even if they say that, what's with the looks from you four?!"
A Liang and the others' gazes remained peculiar, making Chen Shu feel a bit uncomfortable.
"You guys don't actually believe it, do you? It was all a misunderstanding."
"Of course not..."
Wang Jue smiled and said, "Extracting gold coins and contending for the principal position are all nonsense."
Chen Shu nodded, "That's more like it."
"But the burying of nuclear bombs might be true..."
"Get lost!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched and he said, "If I had that many nuclear bombs, I would have leveled Dragon Abyss long ago! That's where the real money is!"
"That's true... Huaxia Academy isn't as wealthy as Dragon Abyss."
A Liang and the others nodded, withdrawing their strange gazes.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "Have you guys found any Lord materials you like?"
"Mm, we selected one or two useful skills."
A Liang and the others' eyes were filled with excitement, clearly satisfied with the new skills.
"Also, selling the materials might take some time. We'll try to do it within three days!"
"No problem!"
Chen Shu nodded, estimating that he could get over four billion, including thirteen Gold Lords, as well as Lords and mutated fierce beasts from the [Blazing Volcano].
Although it was a number that ordinary people couldn't imagine, it was still insufficient for purchasing high-level beast-taming resources.
At least Chen Shu couldn't think of anything to buy right now that would further improve his strength.
He already had quite a few skills, and the new skills were only Lv1. Unless they were particularly monstrous skills, the improvement wouldn't be significant.
"By the way, Chen Pi, I have some bad news."
A Liang seemed to recall something, and his gaze became serious.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Shu's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Has the official issued a ban on nuclear bombs?"
