The match begins!
Chen Shu's gaze was calm, exuding an air of assured victory.
Xu Xiaoyu also summoned her Flame Bird, while Xia Bing remained motionless.
"She's not summoning?"
Yu Ke from Nancang Second Middle School frowned and inquired.
"To defeat you, two contracted spirits are enough!"
Chen Shu grinned, his eyes filled with arrogance.
Upon hearing this, the three from Nancang Second Middle School glared, finding the opponent utterly presumptuous.
They were all considered prodigies, praised wherever they went. When had they ever been treated like this?
"What scheme is this kid cooking up now?"
Shen Wushuang stroked his chin, his eyes filled with contemplation.
Given Chen Shu's temperament, he wouldn't hesitate to resort to sneak attacks even against a low-level beast tamer.
It was unlikely he would hold back against a formidable opponent.
Roar!
Instantly, the fierce battle between both sides erupted!
The Golden Armored Ape let out a roar, unleashing its innate skill, Golden Armor, its entire body enshrouded in golden light as if clad in invincible armor.
Its limbs pounded the ground as it charged forward with incredible speed.
Caw!
The Flame Bird's eyes shimmered with the glow of its skills, spitting out several football-sized fireballs.
However, their target was not the Golden Armored Ape, but the massive Slime.
Boom boom boom!
"Damn it, Xiaoyu, you've betrayed us!"
Fortunately, Chen Shu was prepared, ordering the Slime to use "Sleep Strike" in advance.
The new innate skill, "Resistance," came into play.
The Slime had already consumed a sufficient amount of basic resistance potions. Coupled with the system's resistance rewards and the "Resistance" innate skill, its elemental resistance became exceptionally high.
Of course, the percentage bonuses were not additive, so it couldn't reach 100%. Nevertheless, it far surpassed contracted spirits of the same tier.
Even the level nine Flame Bird's skills failed to breach its defenses.
"My contracted spirit is being controlled!"
Xu Xiaoyu's expression turned grim. The moment the fireballs were unleashed, she realized she could no longer control their target.
Indeed, a faint purple glow appeared in the Flame Bird's eyes.
The Golden Slime found itself in a precarious situation, surrounded.
Chen Shu remained unfazed, directly ordering the Slime to unleash the "Dominant Body" skill, followed by "Charge."
The rampaging Slime charged forward with immense momentum.
Gazing at the behemoth resembling a small mountain, the Golden Armored Ape showed a hint of hesitation in its eyes.
"What in the world is this? Can I really ram it?"
However, under Yu Ke's command, the Golden Armored Ape roared and charged forward with unwavering resolve.
The distance between them rapidly closed!
As the two contracted spirits were about to collide, some spectators excitedly took out their phones and began capturing the moment.
But in a flash, the Slime leaped into the air, soaring right over the Golden Armored Ape.
"Uh oh, its target is me!"
Another member of Nancang Second Middle School exclaimed, his contracted spirit being of the plant type, its movement speed far too slow.
Captain Yu Ke did not panic and said sternly, "Leave it to me!"
Golden light emanated from the Golden Armored Ape's eyes, and its speed surged significantly as it pursued the Slime.
A triumphant smile spread across Chen Shu's lips.
The Slime in the air exuded gusts of wind, a direct result of acquiring "Wind Control" from the Iron Feathered Beast Lord.
Utilizing the wind, the Slime forcefully altered its direction.
"Violent Sitting Strike's" target shifted to the Purple Winged Phantom Butterfly.
Because the Golden Armored Ape's speed had increased dramatically, the Purple Winged Phantom Butterfly could not keep up and was forced to remain in its position.
Chen Shu seized the opportunity he had created!
"Truly insidious! Damn it!"
"A model for us to emulate! This is clearly the demeanor of a great beast tamer!"
The spectators began to murmur, having not expected everything to unfold according to Chen Shu's plan.
"As expected, not simple!"
The owner of the Phantom Butterfly let out a soft huff, surprised that Chen Shu's true target was her contracted spirit.
However, she remained calm. As a control-type contracted spirit, having a life-saving skill was essential, otherwise, she would be focused down immediately.
The Purple Winged Phantom Butterfly's wings glowed with an intense purple light, making it impossible to look directly at, and its speed increased severalfold.
Just as it was about to flutter away,
A small ice prison appeared, trapping it firmly in place!
"What?!"
The three from Nancang Second Middle School exclaimed in shock, completely taken aback by this turn of events.
The others were equally stunned. The Slime, which had always relied on brute force, was actually ice-attribute?!
"No, look at its mouth!"
Someone quickly noticed the anomaly. The Slime's massive mouth opened,
And within its dark maw stood a Frost Wolf.
The Frost Wolf's eyes emitted a blue light, clearly indicating that the ice prison originated from it.
As a control-type contracted spirit, how could it only have the innate skill "Ice Domain"?
Boom!
Seizing the moment, the Slime directly sat down.
The contrast between the Slime's colossal backside and the delicate body of the Phantom Butterfly was stark, causing many to involuntarily cover their eyes.
"With that one sit, it'll probably turn into a butterfly specimen."
"Wait!"
The owner of the Phantom Butterfly's expression turned panicked. The Phantom Butterfly's defense was too weak; it couldn't possibly withstand that weight.
In an instant, she recalled the Purple Winged Phantom Butterfly, averting a tragic fate.
But at the same time, this meant she forfeited the match.
"Damn it! When did it get in there!"
The three from Nancang Second Middle School clenched their fists. With the loss of the Phantom Butterfly's control, the situation became critical.
Chen Shu smiled without speaking. While everyone was still in shock,
The Slime let out a silent yawn.
Xia Bing, having received prior instructions, had summoned the Frost Wolf into the Slime's mouth, concealing it.
However, this summoning method had stringent requirements:
First, the Slime had to open its mouth, ensuring Xia Bing could see, and simultaneously, the Frost Wolf's size had to be small enough. If the massive mouth couldn't accommodate it, the summoning would fail.
"This trickery is elaborate!"
Minister of Education Wang Qing was taken aback, his heart filled with astonishment.
Chen Shu had truly mastered the art of beast tamer combat!
"He's truly a sly old fox! Who would have thought a high school student could pull this off?"
"I declare Chen Shu, courtesy name 'Sly Fox,' title 'Nanjian Fierce Bandit'!"
"I declare your declaration valid!"
Spectators watching the live broadcast online immediately flooded the chat, engaging in lively banter.
"It's time to go!"
Chen Shu grinned, believing this match was practically won.
The Golden Armored Ape was a melee-type contracted spirit, only capable of head-on combat.
The Slime, however, declared, "This is my strong suit!"
Boom boom boom!
The two ferocious contracted spirits clashed continuously, showcasing the beauty of raw power.
Nancang Second Middle School's captain, Yu Ke, declared,
"I refuse to believe a mere Slime can truly contend with my Golden Armored Ape!"
Half a minute later,
"Awooo~~~"
The Golden Armored Ape was pinned beneath the Slime's posterior, its mournful cries filling the air.
