I can't tolerate this? You can insult me, Chen Shu, but insulting my school and my principal, Chen Shu and I are sworn enemies!
Chen Shu stood tall and righteous, his eyes still filled with surging anger.
Shen Wushuang nudged Chen Shu and whispered, "That's too much."
*Slap!*
Unexpectedly, the principal slammed the table and declared, "Not at all! A student this arrogant indeed deserves to suffer a bit!"
Looking at the two furious individuals, Shen Wushuang felt like an outsider.
Seeing this, Chen Shu seized the opportunity and said, "Principal, I formally request to personally challenge them and flatten Nanjiang No. 1 High School!!"
Forget it!
The principal, who was furious moments ago, immediately deflated and said, "Nanjiang No. 1 High School is very strong, and Lin Zixuan is only among their top five."
"Principal, we can try."
Shen Wushuang said seriously from the side.
The principal raised an eyebrow. "Teacher Shen, do you think he can win?"
Nanjiang No. 1 High School has consistently held the title of the city's top school.
Shen Wushuang nodded. Although Chen Shu was unreliable, he hadn't lost yet.
Chen Shu stood up, calm and composed, and said, "Principal, as long as the money is right, I can even crush S-class Contracted Spirits!"
The principal was slightly stunned. "What money?"
Chen Shu said, "Don't hired fighters charge a fee? How much did Sister Fang Si charge back then?"
The principal's mouth twitched, and he fell silent.
He knew back then that Fang Si and the other two often hung out together. So it turns out you siblings have similar personalities?
He sighed and said, "Fang Si charged a million back then..."
"If you can truly win, then the school will give you a million!"
Chen Shu nodded. "In that case, I'll take two million!"
The principal frowned, surprised by the exorbitant demand, and couldn't help but say, "Do you think you're worth more than Fang Si, who is S-class?"
"No, no, Principal, times have changed, inflation has driven up prices, so the fee for hired fighters naturally needs to double."
Chen Shu said calmly, "Currently, the school is on a downhill trend. The Principal must be preparing for a comeback this year. If I can flatten Nanjiang No. 1 High School, it would be equivalent to the vanguard, sounding the charge. Not only would it boost morale, but it would also make the school famous throughout the city!"
"Such a good deal, two million isn't a loss, is it? Not at all!"
Shen Wushuang and the Principal watched Chen Shu speak eloquently, and a thought simultaneously crossed their minds:
This kid will surely achieve great things in the future!
"As long as you can defeat Lin Zixuan first, I'll give you a two million working fee!"
The Principal looked at Chen Shu deeply and finally spoke.
Although the opponent's Contracted Spirit was only F-class, this confidence alone was enough to overshadow countless people.
Mainly, Nanjiang No. 2 High School was already in a bad state. Even if they lost, there would be no negative impact.
Chen Shu said, "Lin Zixuan has already lost. I beat him up twice."
The principal's mouth twitched. "I mean in a Beast Tamer's battle style."
"If all students were like you, others might think Nanjiang No. 2 High School has become a gathering place for thugs."
"Fine! Let's start with Lin Zixuan then!"
Chen Shu stood up and strode out of the principal's office.
Shen Wushuang and the Principal exchanged glances and followed closely behind.
Outside the Beast Taming Hall,
"Wake up!"
Chen Shu quickly woke up the unconscious Lin Zixuan.
Lin Zixuan's eyes slowly opened again, and the first thing he saw was Chen Shu's face.
Almost instinctively, his body trembled. He propped himself up with his hands and retreated several meters, shouting in terror:
"What do you want to do!"
Seeing Lin Zixuan's natural reaction, the principal's mouth twitched. "What exactly did you do to him?"
Chen Shu grinned and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid, I, Chen Shu, am always reasonable. As the saying goes, it is a joy to have a friend from afar..."
"Even if he comes from afar, we will vanquish him, right?"
Lin Zixuan's eyes were full of vigilance, and he immediately summoned his Shadow Beast.
He then felt relieved and shouted loudly, "If you have the guts, come and have a proper duel with me."
"Alright, I'll grant your wish! Bring out the competition stage!"
Chen Shu was the first to enter the Beast Taming Hall.
The Shadow Beast leaped and also landed on the competition stage.
Lin Zixuan's eyes burned with anger. "Since you want to court death, I'll fulfill your wish. Let me see the strength of your Contracted Spirit."
Chen Shu suddenly spoke. "Look, your principal is here!"
"Do you really think I'm stupid enough to fall for your staged competition?"
Lin Zixuan sneered, completely unfazed.
But just as he was speaking, a deafening roar erupted.
*Boom!*
A slime, over ten meters in size, instantly descended, exuding a terrifying sense of pressure.
The Shadow Beast, almost instinctively, unleashed its life-saving skill.
Its body emanated black light, as if teleporting, and it arrived at another spot, narrowly avoiding the slime's crushing descent.
"You're attacking sneakily from the start?!"
Lin Zixuan's eyes were filled with fury. He hadn't expected anyone to be so shameless.
Although he said he wouldn't fall for their staged competition, his attention had still been diverted.
"Is surprise attacking illegal?"
Chen Shu shrugged, utterly unconcerned, and said.
The principal on the side twitched his mouth and said, "Is this the top student of our class?"
Shen Wushuang was also a bit speechless and nodded. "He's a Beast Tamer, as long as he wins, that's all that matters."
Lin Zixuan looked at the massive slime, his anger turning into solemnity and caution.
"Damn it, who gave me the wrong intelligence?!"
Before setting out, he had investigated the geniuses of Nanjiang No. 2 High School, and naturally, there was information about Chen Shu's slime.
However, the intelligence only stated that it was slightly larger in size, slow-moving, and not to be feared.
This is what they call "slightly larger"?
Lin Zixuan's brow furrowed. He even worried that the slime would sit on and crush the Shadow Beast in one go.
*Roar!*
The Shadow Beast roared and unleashed its innate skill, Dark Restraint. Streaks of black light extended out, like chains, controlling the slime in place.
"Prepare to die!"
Seeing that it was restrained, Lin Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Shadow Beast's claws were enveloped in a dark glow, and it slashed forward several times.
Several black light claws condensed instantly landed on the slime's body.
"Too overconfident!"
The principal frowned, not expecting the slime to not dodge at all, as the skill's lethality was extraordinary.
Shen Wushuang, however, was completely unfazed. Chen Shu was not that simple.
*Whoosh whoosh*
The slime actually closed its eyes and instantly fell into a deep sleep.
*Bang! Bang!*
Several Dark Shadow Claws tore at the slime's body. The Dark Shadow Claws themselves had a certain armor-breaking effect,
but the slime's defense was too high at the moment, only managing to tear its skin and causing a small amount of bleeding.
Such damage was too light and had almost no impact on the battle.
Chen Shu grinned. "Little guy! It's my turn!"
The slime's body moved, emitting a deafening snore, as if a car was revving its engine.
*Boom!*
The Dark Restraint binding it was instantly broken, and it charged madly towards the Shadow Beast.
The yellow sphere, as big as a small mountain, rolled continuously, causing the competition stage to vibrate slightly.
"Quick, dodge!"
In an instant, dark light appeared on the Shadow Beast's four limbs, and its speed increased significantly.
It ran around the competition stage, temporarily escaping the crisis with its extreme movement speed.
Lin Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief. "No matter how big you are, you can't outrun my Contracted Spirit!"
Chen Shu, however, was not in a hurry.
The slime's mouth bulged, and it directly unleashed a combo skill, transforming into flight mode.
"Ah, this?!"
Lin Zixuan's mouth hung open, staring blankly at the enormous slime flying.
The Shadow Beast was also astonished, and then it began to run desperately.
But the slime kept flying above its head, the shadow cast upon it exuding an oppressive aura.
One fleeing, one chasing, it was trapped!
