"Reward obtained: Space Rabbit comprehends exclusive skill + Slime gains all skills plus one + Elemental Beast's elemental attributes increased by 5%."
Chen Shu's face was filled with a smile as the system's prompt echoed in his mind.
He opened the panel for his contracted spirits and, as expected, the Slime's skills had all increased by one.
The most significant of these was Gigantification, which at level seven could increase the Slime's size by fourteen times.
On the Space Rabbit's panel, a slot for an exclusive skill had appeared.
[Space Mark: Can apply an unavoidable spatial mark to a target (ineffective against humans)! When the Space Rabbit is within five meters of the marked target, all attacks from its exclusive weapon will hit with 100% accuracy! Note: Distance is related to spatial attribute.]
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback as he reread the description of this exclusive skill.
Before long, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
What excited him was not the skill's effect, but the last sentence: distance is related to spatial attribute!
After all, the exclusive skills of Erha and the Slime had no levels and thus their effects did not get strengthened.
However, their effects were so monstrously powerful that they wouldn't be phased out.
But the Space Rabbit's exclusive skill was different; it was an ever-growing one.
Perhaps it was related to its talent [Space Favoritism], or perhaps [Space Mark] was particularly special.
"What if the spatial attribute grows to an insane degree..."
His eyes gleamed as he imagined the Space Rabbit being ten thousand meters away from an enemy, yet still hitting every blow by wildly swinging its carrot!
This scene was quite outrageous!
The only pity was that it was ineffective against humans.
Otherwise, if it could mark a Beast Tamer, even a King-level Beast Tamer's body probably couldn't withstand a few hits.
"Heh heh~~~ Heh heh~~"
Chen Shu, standing on the combat platform, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter chillingly eerie.
Such a scene instantly left the global audience a bit bewildered.
"Has the Southern River Bandit gone mad?"
"Could it be that after winning the championship, he couldn't accept it and suffered a mental breakdown?"
"What if his enemy drugged him, causing his sanity to be affected?"
"Is there even a possibility that this guy was a bit deranged to begin with..."
Countless people were discussing, unable to comprehend Chen Shu's behavior.
"Chen Pi, hurry up and get down! Stop acting crazy here!"
Qin Tian, with a dark expression, walked directly to the side of the competition stage and shouted at Chen Shu.
He admitted that this guy had talent and strength, but his mental state was also becoming a pressing issue...
"Uh..."
Chen Shu immediately snapped back to reality, instantly realizing that he was being watched by nearly ten billion pairs of eyes.
'How can a bunch of mortals understand my joy?'
He couldn't help but think to himself, and then calmly walked off the stage and onto the competition platform.
The host, seeing this, also leaned in.
Although China had won the championship, he felt a touch of displeasure, but a professional fake smile still appeared on his face.
"Player Chen Shu! Congratulations!"
"Thanks, you too!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly and said, "Your Free Alliance also got the runner-up, which is quite commendable!"
"..."
The host's expression froze. If he spoke like that, it wouldn't be much fun...
He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and began:
"Now, your mood must be incredibly excited, right? Can I, on behalf of the global audience, ask you a few questions?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shu's eyes instantly lit up with excitement, and he turned to open his combat bag, taking out a stack of documents.
"???"
The host's expression froze, and then his eyes widened.
*Slap!*
Qin Tian below patted his forehead, already sensing something bad was about to happen.
"If you don't want the competition to have any issues, skip the interview immediately!"
He quickly used the technological equipment to quietly tell the host.
"Huh?"
The host on stage was taken aback, and immediately heard Qin Tian's words through his earpiece.
He glanced at the other King-level Beast Tamers above, who had also heard, but none of them spoke to stop it.
Are you kidding?
Dolly had previously tried to stop Qin Tian, and everyone had seen the aftermath. Who would dare to go against his wishes now?
Moreover, it was just a small matter.
The host nodded silently, looking at Chen Shu's expectant gaze and saying,
"It seems that student Chen Shu is not ready, so we'll have to interview you next time!"
"???"
Chen Shu's eyes widened in disbelief.
I've pulled out such a stack of papers, and you're telling me I'm not ready?!
"The Black Iron group finals in the afternoon will proceed as scheduled. We welcome everyone to tune in on time!"
The host smiled slightly and then cut off the global broadcast equipment.
When his gaze fell upon Chen Shu, his expression stiffened.
He saw Chen Shu had put away the documents and was rummaging through his combat bag, muttering to himself:
"You haven't tasted urea, have you?"
"..."
The host's expression was one of great alarm, and he quickly said,
"Brother! Brother! It wasn't my intention; Principal Qin told me to do this!"
"Principal Qin?"
Chen Shu frowned and looked at the host, saying, "Really?"
"If you dare to lie to me, it won't just be about you, but your ancestors' graves too!"
"..."
The host's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's true, I wouldn't dare lie to you!"
This guy could even kill King-level Beast Tamers, so how could he, a beginner Beast Tamer, dare to provoke him even if he ate dragon gall?
Chen Shu looked at Qin Tian with a face full of grievances. Compared to winning the championship, he actually preferred interviews...
Qin Tian pretended not to see, flew into the sky, and discussed the final matters of the World Championship with the other King-level Beast Tamers.
"Alas..."
Chen Shu could only sigh helplessly and leave the competition stage.
"Chen Pi, congratulations!"
Below, A Liang and the others said with smiles, genuinely happy for Chen Shu.
Because of Chen Shu, over a billion people in the country now felt a great sense of honor.
Especially since Chen Shu was so young, only twenty-two years old, and had already won the highest honor for a Beast Tamer!
"It's alright, I guess."
Chen Shu forced a smile, not expecting his interview to be cut short!
A Liang raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong with you? You're so dejected?"
"Yeah, aren't you happy about winning the championship? That's too much!"
Wang Jue and the others also gathered around, their eyes filled with confusion.
"Brothers!"
Chen Shu looked at everyone and slowly said,
"If someone were targeting me, what would you do?"
"Targeting?! Who!"
Wang Jue immediately stepped forward, slung an arm around Chen Shu's shoulder, and said,
"Tell me who dares to target you! Tonight I'll send my Space Bird after them!"
"Someone else dares to target my brother?"
A Liang also came forward full of loyalty and said,
"You just say a name, and we'll handle the rest!"
