The slime's massive size made it difficult to evade attacks, but it also increased its attack range.
The contract spirit, not fast, couldn't dodge its charge at all.
Meow!
The Fiery Lion let out a mournful cry like a kitten and was sent flying backward, landing outside the competition stage.
Chen Shu felt a surge of joy, another high-grade beast-taming bead in hand.
However, he maintained a solemn expression, approaching the slime with concern.
The slime spat out another large mouthful of colorless liquid, its big eyes narrowed, appearing extremely weak.
"I won't fight anymore! I won't fight!"
Chen Shu immediately exclaimed, "My slime is seriously injured. If I lose, it's ten high-grade beast-taming beads, a full 1.12 million! I can't afford to lose!"
He deliberately emphasized the 1.2 million with a heavy tone, causing the others to feel a stir in their hearts.
"No! Since you set the rules, how can you go back on your word?!"
The chubby Sun Ziyang stepped forward again, his face flushed with excitement, summoning his Golden Claw Beast.
Chen Shu laughed inwardly, never expecting them to take the bait so easily. "You guys are too young!"
But his face was one of extreme distress, as if he were in a difficult predicament. Finally, he nodded reluctantly.
Shen Wushuang, standing beside him, twitched the corner of his mouth, a look of exasperation on his face.
"Your slime is spitting so much saliva, doesn't it get tired?"
He glanced at the hyped-up students and couldn't help but shake his head. They were simply too foolish.
This was practically a handout.
As expected, the Golden Claw Beast let out another mournful cry and flew out of the competition stage.
The slime's injuries seemed to have worsened, panting heavily.
Although some people saw through the charade, the problem was that Chen Shu kept stirring up their emotions, constantly emphasizing the significance of ten high-grade beast-taming beads, as if obtaining them would allow them to enter Huaxia Academy.
Another person stepped onto the stage to challenge, wanting to defeat the faltering slime.
But ideals were grand, while reality was harsh.
Out of the twenty-four people in the class, seventeen eventually fell to the slime's charge.
"Alas, my slime is not doing well! It needs to be healed!"
Chen Shu put on a pained expression, his eyes scanning the people below.
But the remaining individuals remained unmoved, silently watching his performance.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, "Xiao Yu, aren't you going to try? 1.2 million!"
"No!"
Xu Xiaoyu decisively refused. Only those who knew him understood that this guy was truly putting on an act.
She dared to bet that the slime was currently retaining most of its strength.
"Committee Member Xia, aren't you going to try?"
Chen Shu looked at the former class representative, Xia Bing. However, she remained unmoved.
"Loan King, aren't you going to try? Your sister is about to awaken her Beast Master talent, and you'll need money, right?"
Wang Qinghan completely ignored him. "You're the loan king!"
"Alas! What a pity, what a pity!"
Chen Shu sighed. With the power of his skills, augmented by the system and potions, and the suppression of an eighth-level contract spirit, he had become invincible in the class.
"Hey! Xie Sunan, why are you standing up! Sit down!"
Chen Shu's peripheral vision caught sight of him, his body stiffened, and he suddenly shouted.
"You're a bit devious. Once I find a way to counter 'Love is a Light,' I'll definitely deal with your insect-butterfly!"
"In that case, the matches for today end here."
Chen Shu happily concluded the competition and said to Shen Wushuang, "Teacher, just give me eighteen high-grade beast-taming beads for this month."
A total of seventeen beast-taming beads, valued at 2.04 million. Wasn't this faster than robbing a bank?
Unfortunately, they couldn't hold such an event every month. The people in the class would surely be wary and wouldn't fight Chen Shu again unless their strength improved.
"Everyone, continue practicing your skills."
Chen Shu waved his hand and returned to the group of six.
By this time, the school infirmary was already crowded with students from the special training class.
"Line up, everyone, line up!"
The school doctor frowned, surprised by the number of contract spirits injured today.
The school doctor sighed and asked, "Who is it? Who acted so ruthlessly? I remember the last time something like this happened was three years ago with Fang Si."
"Doctor, it's Chen Shu, who was following Fang Si back then,"
An old hand from Nanjiang Second Middle School said.
Back when Fang Si was around, the entire junior high was thrown into chaos by Chen Shu and Zhang Dali.
They thought things would calm down after Fang Si left, but they didn't expect Chen Shu to grow up himself.
"Chen Shu?" The school doctor's eyes flickered as if remembering something. "Then it seems to be their tradition."
Three years ago, Fang Si also beat up everyone in the class, and it was a bloody free-for-all.
In the evening, Chen Shu arrived at his shop in the black market.
As expected, with a hefty price drop of 5,000, all five bottles of high-grade strength potions were sold out.
Although the profit was only 50,000, it amounted to 1.5 million per month.
Chen Shu wasn't in a hurry. Even after entering university, he could still have Wang Tianba and the others manage the shop for him.
"Help me acquire the raw materials: Kaihui Fruit, Green Leaf Flower, and Jump Fruit."
Chen Shu could currently refine six types of potions: Strength Potion, Size Potion, Defense Potion, Speed Burst Potion, Intelligence Potion, and Jump Potion.
The first three potions had already been fed to the slime up to their limit, while the latter three had hardly been configured.
The Speed Burst Potion was learned while running alongside the thief Li Hua (this plot point was not written, so just know it), the Intelligence Potion was obtained before the final exam, and the Jump Potion was learned when he was dug into the ground by Shen Wushuang.
In reality, the Intelligence Potion and Speed Burst Potion had little effect on the slime, especially the former.
But Chen Shu could refine them himself, and since the cost wasn't high, he fed them all to the slime; there were no downsides.
However, the Jump Potion could increase the height of "Violent Sitting Kills," indirectly increasing the airtime and skill damage.
"The income from the shop will be managed by you guys, primarily for acquiring medicinal ingredients."
Chen Shu didn't take the shop's money, having absolute faith in Wang Tianba.
"Trusting is not about suspicion, but about utilizing."
"Oh, right, your monthly salary is 10,000 yuan. Brother Tianba, as the shop manager, you get 20,000 yuan per month."
Chen Shu left the shop. He would leave the specific work arrangements to Wang Tianba.
He only needed to concoct Strength Potions at school every two days. He wouldn't have to personally handle other matters for the shop.
Peaceful times slowly passed.
Chen Shu's daily routine involved arguing with people, concocting potions, disciplining the troublemakers in the class, and, oh yes, occasionally studying.
Three weeks flew by.
The students in the special training class gradually became excited.
Shen Wushuang had said he would take them to an adventure in another dimension in October.
Chen Shu was also a little excited. Bullying a group of weaklings every day was rather boring.
He really missed the taste of the Ice Field Rabbit Lord.
ps: Another chapter added today! Otherwise, I'd seem too weak. A new interdimensional adventure is about to begin. If you like it, please give a good review, urge more updates, and add it to your bookshelf. Thank you, thank you!!!!
