On the television screen, a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old stood on stage.
Her appearance was beautiful, her smile pure, yet she exuded a sense of danger.
What drew even more attention was that she was clutching a bag of urea in her right hand, creating a strikingly incongruous image…
"Holy crap! Qingxue?"
Chen Shu blinked, instantly recognizing his trained successor.
"What did she do? How did she get on TV?"
"Just a small matter."
His father, Chen Ping, glanced at him and said, "She just beat up all the Beast Tamers from the major universities in Nanjiang City!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shu's eyes immediately showed a smile of gratification.
She was following his path…
"You're still smiling, you brat!"
His father glared at him. "She's a perfectly fine girl. If she ends up like you, won't her future be ruined?"
"..."
Chen Shu said with utmost seriousness, "Dad, what are you talking about? Look at me now, aren't I the world's number one genius?"
Chen Ping paused, not refuting him, but still reminded him:
"Just teach her about Beast Taming, alright? Don't teach her anything else."
"That won't do!"
Chen Shu said decisively, "It's a package deal. Since she's learning my Beast Taming knowledge, she can only become a fierce bandit."
"..."
Father Chen Ping shook his head and was about to speak when Chen Shu vanished instantly.
He cursed good-naturedly, "This kid…"
…
Nanjiang City Second Middle School,
Chen Shu instantly appeared in front of the school's Beast Taming Hall.
From the scene on television, he recognized it as his alma mater's Beast Taming Hall.
Ahead, hundreds of people were already gathered, and this was just outside the hall.
If they were inside, it would surely be a sea of people, with most of the audience there for Wang Qingxue.
Now, with her victory, everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
They couldn't see the Great Bandit, but witnessing the growth of the Little Bandit was a novel experience…
"This little girl is actually this popular?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He himself hadn't been this famous back then.
"Brother, speak carefully, this is the new generation of Nanjiang's Fierce Bandit!"
A man in front whispered a reminder.
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows. "Are you that scared?"
"Of course! You have no idea what these four words represent in Nanjiang City and even globally!"
"What do they represent?"
"They represent…"
The man deliberately turned his head, leaning closer to Chen Shu, lowering his voice even further.
But as he was about to speak, he clearly saw Chen Shu's face and froze, dumbfounded.
Chen Shu asked curiously, "Brother, you haven't told me what they represent yet?"
"They represent… love and peace…"
"???"
Chen Shu blinked, a smile appearing in his eyes. He was quite quick-witted…
"Brother Bandit, why are you here?!"
The man's eyes were filled with admiration, it was the first time he was so close to Chen Shu.
But after regaining his composure, he wanted to distance himself, as no one wanted to get hit by a urea bag.
"Hey!"
Chen Shu put an arm around him. "Don't rush, am I that terrifying?"
The man shook and nodded his head, his limbs stiffening slightly.
"I'm just waiting for someone, just be quiet."
Chen Shu released the man and looked towards the Beast Taming Hall ahead, waiting silently.
Half an hour later,
Wang Qingxue, amidst the crowd, arrived outside the Beast Taming Hall. Standing beside her were Shen Wushuang and the principal of Second Middle School.
The portly principal smiled and said, "Old Shen, Qingxue's future training will still depend on you."
"Of course! I wouldn't trust anyone else to train her."
Shen Wushuang adjusted his glasses. Years had passed, and his appearance hadn't changed much, but his strength had undergone a qualitative leap. He had already advanced to the Silver Beast Tamer level!
Having taught Chen Shu and Fang Si, Old Shen had received considerable resources, which naturally propelled his own progress.
With his current strength, it was somewhat beneath him to remain at a middle school. However, Shen Wushuang genuinely wanted to retire at Second Middle School, and he was content with his role.
"I'm planning for Qingxue to undergo training in a dangerous-level spatial anomaly by the end of the year,"
Shen Wushuang said with a smile. "What do you both think?"
"Okay."
Wang Qingxue nodded calmly, her heart undisturbed.
But at that moment, her expression froze. She stopped in her tracks, covering her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Hmm?"
Shen Wushuang and the principal both paused, following Wang Qingxue's gaze, and were equally stunned.
Not only the three of them, but the other onlookers also turned their attention towards a young man in the distance.
At this moment, the scene seemed to fall silent.
Seeing this, Chen Shu immediately threw several spatial imprints, taking Wang Qingxue and the others away from the location.
In the principal's office,
Shen Wushuang's expression was surprised, but he quickly reacted.
He smiled and said, "Chen Pi, you brat, you finally remembered to come back to school to visit?"
"Teacher, what kind of talk is that?"
Chen Shu pouted. "Respecting teachers is one of my fine virtues!"
"Well said! But can you get up from the principal's chair?"
"..."
Chen Shu was seen lounging with his legs crossed, leisurely occupying the principal's chair.
"Principal, please sit, sit!"
"Uh, you should sit…"
The portly principal looked flustered, having no intention of sitting down. He continued,
"I assume Chen Shu is here to reminisce. You two chat, I won't disturb you."
With that, he voluntarily left his own office…
"The principal is still the same as ever…"
Chen Shu sat down again. "He's too good at navigating social situations."
"..."
Shen Wushuang shook his head and also sat down, asking, "What are you planning to do at the school again?"
Chen Shu was about to speak when he was interrupted.
"Let's make one thing clear: the school's educational resources are to be prepared for Qingxue. If you misbehave, then you can take them."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. "Teacher, what kind of talk is that? I'm an honorary student of the school, not some fierce bandit!"
"Are you or not, don't you have it clear in your heart…"
"..."
Chen Shu no longer argued. In fact, he didn't care about those resources anymore.
"I just saw Qingxue on television, and I came specifically to see her."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingxue's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Chen Shu with a face full of joy.
Shen Wushuang, hearing this, tentatively asked, "Haven't you thought about seeing your teacher?"
"I have! I've been thinking about it!"
Chen Shu nodded earnestly. "I dream every day of letting you have a close encounter with nature."
