May 20th.
Chen Shu was taking a nap when his phone rang.
"Chen Pi, what the hell are you doing? Are you coming to school or not?"
Shen Wushuang's roar came through. He had thought Chen Shu had gone home for a reason, but it turned out the guy simply hadn't shown up.
"I'm on vacation!" Chen Shu said seriously.
"We're about to have the college entrance examination, what kind of vacation is this?"
"Champion's vacation!"
"???" Da Feng Novel Network.
Shen Wushuang fell silent. Had this guy set himself another holiday?
He took a deep breath to calm his anger and said, "Perhaps you should write next year's national calendar?"
"The country hasn't invited me, otherwise I'd definitely write it myself. I think having three hundred and sixty days of vacation a year is reasonable!"
"You're truly sick!"
Shen Wushuang said, "Hurry up and come to school. We're issuing student ID cards today! If you miss the college entrance examination, Nanjiang City will probably support me burying you!"
Nanjiang City had finally produced a prodigy, and if he missed the college entrance examination, it would be pure nonsense.
"Oh, oh!"
Chen Shu tidied himself up. Just two days ago, he had completed the system's option rewards and obtained two bottles of the explosive potions he had been longing for.
He walked into the school calmly and with his head held high. A champion should have the demeanor of a champion!
"Hello, Senior Chen Shu!"
"Hello, Senior Chen Shu!"
As soon as he entered the school, students passing by immediately greeted him with respect. Some even took out their phones to take pictures.
"Mm! It's good when everyone is good!"
Chen Shu walked with his hands behind his back, feeling refreshed. In a burst of enthusiasm, he began to stroll around the campus. Everyone he met greeted him voluntarily. Chen Shu's popularity was immense, just like a big star. He was a household name in Nanjiang City.
"All good, all good!"
Chen Shu nodded, feeling like he had reached the pinnacle of life.
*Thwack!*
Suddenly, Chen Shu was hit on the head!
"Who is it? Who dares to touch the Nanjiang Bandit?!"
Chen Shu turned around and saw Shen Wushuang's face, as gloomy as if it were about to rain.
Shen Wushuang said, "We're issuing student ID cards, what are you showing off about?"
Chen Shu was talented, but he was also genuinely sick. "You're the only one left in the entire grade. Are you taking the exam or not?"
"Taking it! Taking it!"
Chen Shu went to the place where student ID cards were being issued. The students in the grade were all waiting for him.
"Hello everyone! Thank you for your hard work!"
Chen Shu walked over with his hands behind his back, like a leader inspecting the troops. Was there a problem with the strongest in the grade making a grand entrance?
He approached the staff, entered his information, and then grinned, taking a very sunny photo.
"Everyone, you are free to review!"
Shen Wushuang said, and then called Chen Shu over specifically. "Also, you need to behave yourself during this period! Don't disrupt anyone else's studies! If you're really bored, go home!" He was truly worried that Chen Shu would cause trouble again, and if he were the only one to get into university while everyone else failed, wouldn't that be ridiculous?
Chen Shu didn't go home. For him, school was just another place for vacation.
As the college entrance examination drew closer, everyone in the grade became hurried. Only a minority were slacking off; the vast majority were studying diligently. "Sharpening your sword before the battle, even if it's not fast, it will be bright!" With the college entrance examination approaching, the teachers no longer intervened, allowing for completely free study.
The next morning, Chen Shu, having nothing better to do, went to the Beast Taming Hall. He saw students in the special training class working hard, either sparring with each other, practicing skill techniques, or improving the obedience of their contracted spirits.
As Chen Shu stepped into the Beast Taming Hall, the entire place fell silent. The pressure of the "Bandit" descended once more! Everyone looked at him with complex expressions, some in fear, some in admiration. But they all understood one thing: the gap between them had widened too much. They were no longer on the same level. Even the strongest, Xu Xiaoyu and Du Long, couldn't see his back.
"You're all training well!"
Chen Shu stood with his arms crossed and went to the front, saying with a pounding chest and stamping feet, "As the class monitor, I feel very guilty! I haven't paid enough attention to everyone's studies all this time! Today, I will personally guide you all!"
Everyone looked up, secretly anticipating some secret techniques. However, Tang Lie and others sensed something was amiss. Could this guy be so kind?
*Boom!*
A thirty-six-meter slime instantly appeared, making the competition platform tremble. "I assume everyone's beast taming levels have improved. You can all come at me together. If you can defeat me, each of you will be rewarded five million Chinese Yuan!"
For a moment, everyone's expressions changed, and their breathing quickened. Five million was a huge sum for ordinary students. "Of course, the registration fee for the challenge is one hundred thousand, a fifty-fold return. Don't miss out!"
As soon as he said this, everyone seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and they snapped back to reality. "You're here to make money again, aren't you?!"
Without hesitation, everyone turned and walked towards the outside of the Beast Taming Hall.
"Hey, no, the registration fee is only fifty thousand! Okay!" Chen Shu immediately stopped him. No one was taking up such a rewarding offer? "Thirty thousand, ten thousand, fine! I won't charge anymore! Come and fight for free!"
Chen Shu retreated again and again, but even for free, no one challenged him. In the end, only Chen Shu and Xie Sunan remained in the Beast Taming Hall.
Looking at the eager eyes of the other, Chen Shu's body trembled. He pointed and said, "You, don't do anything rash!" He didn't want to enjoy the 'light of love'!
"We are brothers, how could I make a move on you!" Xie Sunan leaned closer and said, "Brother, I'm counting on you for the college entrance examination!"
"What the heck, you're not trying to cheat, are you? That's illegal!"
Xie Sunan was stunned. Was that something you should say? He shook his head and said, "This year's college entrance examination will be conducted in groups of three to four people to better assess teamwork ability."
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and stroked his chin. This was actually quite good. Xiao Xing's Thunderbirds had invincible speed, coupled with Lao Xie's reconnaissance skills and his own overwhelming combat power, wouldn't they be able to blast through ordinary-level异空间 (Yì Kōngjiān - alien/otherworldly space) directly?
"Of course, the specific college entrance examination scores will still be evaluated based on individual performance. You won't get extra points just because you're riding on someone's coattails. If the gap between you is too large, it might even affect the examiner's subjective impression, resulting in a lower score."
"Xiao Xing!"
The two left the Beast Taming Hall. The three of them walked on campus, discussing the strategy for the college entrance examination. Only after Chen Shu left did the students from the special training class return to the Beast Taming Hall.
"To achieve good results in the college entrance examination, we must achieve victory through surprise!"
Chen Shu licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a wicked light, and said, "I suggest we blow up the [Fiery Sun Hills] directly!"
Xu Xingxing: "???"
Xie Sunan: "???"
