Outside the cultivation room, Shen Wushuang, with a smile on his lips, watched Chen Shu within. From Chen Shu's expression yesterday, it was clear that he had absolutely no interest in cultivation and definitely wanted to slip away. He had intentionally placed himself to guard the door, and the black and white giant python guarded the downstairs. Now, Chen Shu was trapped with no escape.
"You're forcing me to do this, Old Shen!" Chen Shu returned to his original position, lay down again, and opened the urea bag. He swallowed a beast-taming pearl, and a surge of beast-taming power immediately coursed through his body. "Hmm, what a relaxing way to cultivate!" Chen Shu stretched languidly, smacking his lips, but the people around him seemed not to hear him, continuing their cultivation.
"Damn, they can stay so calm?!" Chen Shu got up and went to each person's side. No matter what he said, there was no reaction. "Should I find someone to beat up?" Chen Shu stroked his chin, his gaze locking onto Tang Lie. Just then, a massive snake head appeared outside the window, as if warning him. "Violence has never been my preference; it seems I need to find another way." Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he abandoned this idea.
"Let's see what you can do!" Shen Wushuang smiled, believing that if no one paid attention to Chen Shu, he would eventually get bored and start cultivating. "Let the black and white giant python watch you first." Shen Wushuang walked towards the restroom.
At this moment, Chen Shu was rummaging in his backpack and actually pulled out an assembled barbecue grill. He then took out charcoal, alcohol, and skewers. Chen Shu's proficiency was astonishing; in a short while, he had the barbecue equipment assembled. "Roasting beast-taming pearls, I love eating them. The faster they ascend, the more desperately one should eat. If I don't eat them now, I won't have a chance to eat them again." Chen Shu hummed, placing the skewers on the grill. The charcoal burned fiercely, and the smoke spread, completely overpowering the spiritual energy that permeated the room.
The black and white giant python outside the window simply stared at Chen Shu. With its limited intelligence, it was difficult to comprehend such an outrageous act. It wasn't just contract spirits; even ordinary people would be completely bewildered by this scene.
"Cough, cough..." Xie Sunan and Xu Xingxing, who were closest, were immediately choked awake by the smoke. When they saw Chen Shu in the smoke, their eyes widened instantly, as if they had witnessed something utterly astonishing.
"What the hell! You're barbecuing in the Beast Taming Arena?!" Xie Sunan's mouth twitched; he had still underestimated Chen Shu's level of absurdity. "You are truly fearless." Xu Xingxing was equally shocked. The next second, he leaned closer and said, "Did you bring any meat skewers?"
Soon, the smoke spread, and more people woke up, their cultivation state forcibly interrupted. Although it wouldn't have any lasting effects, they naturally felt displeased, like being suddenly slapped while fast asleep.
"Chen Shu, what are you up to now!" Xia Bing looked at Chen Shu through the smoke, her head filled with black lines. She suddenly realized that Chen Shu's absurdity seemed to have no bottom. Whatever he did was considered normal.
"Uh..." Chen Shu looked up and saw that the surroundings were enveloped in smoke, making it seem like a fairyland. "What the heck is this charcoal?" Chen Shu realized something was wrong; he could barely see the people around him. The smoke was spreading faster than he could have imagined!
"No! If Old Shen finds out about this, he'll probably bury me on the spot!" "Chen Pi, something's not right, put out the fire first!" Xu Xingxing casually picked up a bottle of water, somewhat worried that Chen Shu would set the Beast Taming Arena ablaze. Chen Shu took it and immediately poured it on. Instantly, the flames leaped up.
"What the hell! Why did you give me alcohol?!" Chen Shu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but curse. Xu Xingxing hadn't expected this either, explaining, "I just grabbed it. Who carries alcohol when they go out?" In an instant, flames erupted, smoke billowed, and various alarms blared. The scene instantly became chaotic, and students scrambled towards the outside of the cultivation room, not daring to delay further.
"Damn! Xia Bing, don't run, use your ice wolf to put out the fire!" Unfortunately, no one heard him. Chen Shu was the only one left in the cultivation room. "Forget it, I'm running too!" Chen Shu grabbed his backpack and the urea bag and ran straight out of the cultivation room.
At this moment, Shen Wushuang emerged from the restroom. From a distance, he saw the smoke coming from the cultivation room. "Huh? Has the spiritual energy in the Beast Taming Arena become this dense?" He raised an eyebrow and immediately spotted Chen Shu fleeing. "Chen Pi, stop!" Shen Wushuang thought he was trying to escape and grabbed him with one hand.
"Teacher Shen, quickly put out the fire! The Beast Taming Arena is going to catch fire!" "What?" Shen Wushuang was stunned and instantly saw the fire raging in the cultivation room. His expression turned serious, and he summoned his Ice Phoenix, easily extinguishing the fire with its skills. However, the thick smoke still lingered.
A moment later, staff members from the Beast Taming Arena arrived. The two of them left this building. Everyone in the building rushed outside, only to see the cultivation room on the fifth floor still shrouded in smoke.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly catch fire?" "In all these years, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. It's truly bizarre!" "I think it was deliberate, don't you?" "Nonsense, who would start a fire in the Beast Taming Arena!" The others were chattering, unable to understand the cause of the fire. Only the students from the beast-taming class stared intently at Chen Shu, seeking an explanation. Chen Shu, however, remained completely unfazed, clenching his fists slightly, appearing righteous.
"How despicable! If I catch that arsonist!!" "You're really good at pretending!" "Xiao Yu, tell me what happened." Shen Wushuang looked at Xu Xiaoyu. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he smiled kindly, "Chen Pi, if you dare to run, I'll bury you right now!"
"Heh heh..." Chen Shu gave a dry laugh and stopped. Ten minutes later, Shen Wushuang's expression was indescribable, a mix of a smile and anger. "You're barbecuing in the Beast Taming Arena? Why don't you do it at a gas station?" Shen Wushuang stared intensely at Chen Shu, his eyes filled with disbelief. Chen Shu seemed inspired and said, "Uh, I've barbecued in an alternate dimension, and I've barbecued in public restrooms, but I've never done it at a gas station. Teacher, you've reminded me, I'll go right now!" With that, Chen Shu eagerly ran towards the exit.
"Stop!" Shen Wushuang immediately caught the fleeing Chen Shu. "Teacher Shen, I'll pay! I'll pay whatever it costs!" Chen Shu knew he couldn't escape and had to accept his fate. "Hmph! All losses will be charged to you!" "No problem!" Chen Shu readily agreed, as long as he could avoid trouble, the cost didn't matter.
Half an hour later, the Beast Taming Arena had handled everything. In the end, Chen Shu paid a compensation fee of 300,000 yuan, which included equipment for absorbing spiritual energy, which was naturally quite valuable. He was also successfully blacklisted by the best Beast Taming Arena in the city.
"Damn! A meal of barbecue cost 300,000! This is outrageous!" Chen Shu couldn't help but complain. "You know it's outrageous?!" Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched. In all these years, he had never seen anyone barbecue in a cultivation room. He had gone to the restroom for a moment, and the Beast Taming Arena was set ablaze. Who could he even complain to?
"Chen Shu, come out with me! The rest of you, continue cultivating!" Chen Shu, with his head hanging low, left the cultivation room. Shen Wushuang asked, "Do you really not want to cultivate?" "I don't have talent, I can't even achieve basic meditation." "Then how did you get your beast-taming level?" "Uh, I got it by courting death."
"What?!" Chen Shu's mouth twitched; he didn't know how to explain the source of his beast-taming power. "Teacher Shen, I promise! By the end of this year at the latest, I will become a level nine beast tamer! Please let me go, won't you?" Shen Wushuang stroked his chin and said, "Then what do you plan to do for the next two months?" He couldn't change the teaching plan for just Chen Shu, and diligent cultivation was a required course for every student. "I have my own plans. I guarantee that in two months, I will be a level nine beast tamer!"
Shen Wushuang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll trust you one more time! Also, no matter what happens outside, don't report my name!" Shen Wushuang added, as he didn't want to be taken away by the Spirit Suppression Bureau while teaching. "Absolutely no problem!" Chen Shu immediately and decisively gave his assurance.
[Unlocked New Entry: Stamina Potion!] Although the story was convoluted, the outcome was as desired. In fact, Shen Wushuang didn't want Chen Shu to leave so easily, but the problem was that he was already on the Beast Taming Arena's blacklist. If they insisted on keeping him, they would have to pay a daily risk fee of ten thousand yuan. Chen Shu put away his backpack and strode out of the Beast Taming Arena.
"He's truly a legendary figure!" Shen Wushuang had only known Chen Shu for a little over two months, but he was already deeply impressed and would probably never forget him. Although he lost 300,000 yuan, Chen Shu had added another colorful stroke to his absurd life.
