Everyone in the duel arena was stunned when they heard the recording from the loudspeaker.
Was this place being treated like a vegetable market?
Truly, the young calves feared no tigers.
Xu Yang shook his head, finding it utterly absurd.
How could a student be so arrogant? Was there any justice left?
I will let you know that true beast masters are not like you hothouse flowers!
Chen Shu pointed to the arena below and kindly reminded him,
Brother, I think you should check on your contracted spirit first.
Xu Yang froze for a moment and looked down, his eyes widening instantly.
What the hell? Where did this giant yellow sphere come from?
And where was his contracted spirit?
The entire duel arena fell silent. Everyone finally reacted, their eyes filled with shock. Many even stood up.
A terrifying slime, twenty meters in size, was soundly asleep. Its body twitched slightly, as if rubbing against the ground.
The Flame Wolf that had been roaring earlier had vanished without a trace.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Yang's forehead. He faintly heard the whimpering of his contracted spirit, as if it were about to die.
Could it be under that opponent's butt?
I... I concede!
Xu Yang's eyes held unwillingness, but he could only accept his fate.
One moment he was spewing threats, the next, his face was slapped so unexpectedly.
As I said, no one will reimburse your medical expenses.
Chen Shu shook his head and put away the slime.
As soon as the slime disappeared, a pool of blood appeared on the ground below. A Flame Wolf lay in the blood.
It struggled to lift its head and looked at its master, its eyes filled with an inexplicable meaning, as if saying:
I'm practically dying, and you're still playing it cool.
It was truly unbelievable that Chen Shu from Nanjiang Second High School had actually won!
The host walked into the gladiatorial arena, disbelief etched on his face.
Every year, the senior year special training class came here to hone their combat skills, but their training always began with being crushed by fellow beast masters.
The combat experience of both sides was not on the same level.
Who knew that on the first match today, Chen Shu, a student, had actually ambushed an veteran beast master.
Had times changed?
Chen Shu remained calm and looked at the surrounding audience, then released another recording from the loudspeaker.
Let me say it again, surrender immediately if you encounter me, the Nanjiang Bandit!
Do not harbor any侥幸心理 (jìlǐn xīn lǐ - hope for luck)! The unlucky fellow across from me is the prime example!
For a moment, everyone's faces were covered in black lines. They never expected to encounter such a formidable student right from the start.
Xu Yang's face turned green. You're going too far!
I will definitely be back.
He silently recalled his Flame Wolf and left the duel arena.
Chen Shu then put the megaphone back into his backpack and returned to the private room.
Teacher, awesome! Unbelievably awesome!
Ouyang Bao's eyes were filled with admiration. This was what an old schemer looked like!
He felt that the profound art of sneak attacks he had learned was merely the tip of the iceberg.
The loudspeaker Chen Shu released at the beginning had instantly captured everyone's attention.
The slime below then seized the opportunity for a combo, quietly finishing off the Flame Wolf.
The entire process was seamless, truly a textbook example of an ambush.
The students in the special training class all stood up, their expressions complex, not knowing what to say.
Basic operation! Everyone settle down!
Chen Shu waved his hand, acting incredibly humble.
Shen Wushuang sighed. The purpose of bringing students to the duel arena was to gain practical combat experience by facing beast masters from society.
Chen Shu, on the other hand, had given an veteran beast master a lesson on his first outing.
You should rein it in a bit.
Finally, Shen Wushuang commented and remained silent.
Following that, it was Xu Xiaoyu's turn to battle.
Following Chen Shu's astonishing performance, the social warriors became instinctively wary of the students from Nanjiang Second High School.
Xu Xiaoyu's opponent was an eighth-level beast master with a C-class contracted spirit.
One was a genius student, the other a social beast master. In terms of combat power, there was naturally a significant gap.
However, the battle did not go as smoothly as expected.
In the end, after a fierce ten-minute battle, Xu Xiaoyu narrowly secured a victory based on her inherent combat strength.
The audience in the duel arena all shook their heads. It seemed there was only one old schemer in the class, and the rest were normal.
Then, Tang Lie and the others also took turns, their opponents all being beast masters with rich combat experience.
The special training class had outstanding talent, but overall they won less and lost more. This outcome did not surprise the audience.
It was the same every year, but after a month, the students in the special training class would see significant improvement.
Teacher, why isn't there a match for me?
Xu Xingxing asked. He was an eighth-level beast master and possessed an A-class mutated Thunderbird, ranking among the top in the class.
Little Xing, let's just watch obediently, alright.
Shen Wushuang patted Xu Xingxing on the shoulder.
Xu Xingxing said dejectedly, Teacher, do you think I'll embarrass the school if I compete?
A moment later, Shen Wushuang nodded directly.
With your Thunderbird's speed and lack of attack capability, if it drags on for another two hours, the audience will probably all leave.
He was worried that the duel arena would directly blacklist Nanjiang Second High School.
Teacher Shen, I think I can fight!
Xie Sunan walked over, her eyes filled with determination.
Shen Wushuang said, Forget it. Actually, both of you have quite rich combat experience.
You're always hanging out with Chen Shu, so even if you're not that good, you'd still be trained.
The two sighed and sat to the side, boredly playing with their phones.
Little Xing, are we really going to be so idle?
Xie Sunan said, I'm a seventh-level beast master, and you're an eighth-level beast master. In fact, our combat strengths are both very strong.
Tell me! What are we lacking?
Xu Xingxing pondered for a moment and said, Self-awareness.
The day's matches for everyone quickly concluded.
In the afternoon, the special training class from Daxing City Third High School arrived at the duel arena.
Those who were feeling down were instantly comforted when they saw the opposing team's battles.
At least we're not the worst.
Shen Wushuang's gaze, however, fell upon Chen Shu beside him.
Although Chen Shu had committed many misdeeds and bullied his classmates, it was undeniable that he had also honed everyone's combat skills.
Social warriors might have more combat experience than Chen Shu,
but in terms of cunning, they were far inferior. This was innate talent.
