At this moment, not only Xu Cang was stunned, but all the Dragon Abyss heroic spirits were also bewildered. They were no longer focused on killing ferocious beasts. They had slept for hundreds of years and had a psychological expectation for the development of the times, but the current situation was truly outrageous!
However, under the explanation of modern beast tamers, the heroic spirits learned that Chen Shu was an anomaly and did not represent the majority. If everyone could kill a legend, what would be the point of the ferocious beasts still being here?
“Uh…”
At this moment, the great Beast Emperors at sea were also shaken. They instinctively thought that another Beast Emperor had fallen, but upon seeing the purple pupils, they realized it was a human’s contracted spirit.
“This kid…”
Shark Emperor floated on the sea, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity. Killing a legendary creature once could be attributed to an accident, but this was the second time. It did indicate something…
“He’s growing too fast!”
Soul Dragon Emperor sighed, his expression filled with apprehension. He now felt that his repeated setbacks against Chen Shu were somewhat understandable…
“What can we do?”
The great Beast Emperors exchanged glances, all with a hint of helplessness. In terms of combat power, any one of them could easily defeat Chen Shu, but the problem was that this fellow didn’t engage them head-on…
Amidst the discussions of the Beast Emperors, they still decided that destroying humanity first was the more reliable approach. As long as Chen Shu’s power base was destroyed, he might not be able to grow.
For a time, the frontal battlefield between the two sides became extremely fierce again. However, the ferocious beasts, already at a disadvantage, were now retreating steadily, much like humans in the past. With the interference of the uncontrolled no longer present and the news of Chen Shu’s legendary slaying, humanity’s morale soared to an unprecedented level.
Simultaneously, the various beast tamers who were resting at home were all filled with righteous indignation and rejoined the battlefield! Beast tamers from different eras cooperated, and everyone wanted to prove to everyone that their era was the strongest. Thus… the ferocious beasts met their doom…
“He changed the tide of battle single-handedly. He truly is my student…”
Liu Feng sat in his office. Although he no longer had combat power, he had been paying close attention to the battlefield and naturally understood the reversal of the situation. At this moment, his eyes were no longer dispirited but filled with pride and relief. The other beast tamers felt the same, all proud that humanity had the formidable bandit of Nanjiang.
Chen Shu’s prestige nationwide was now second only to the old master. The old and the young, they carried the hope of all humanity! Gradually, a saying began to circulate among the populace: “One King-level in a hundred years, one Legend in a thousand years, one formidable bandit in ten thousand years…” This showed how highly people regarded Chen Shu, even more so than a Legend. After all, he was only in his early twenties, with infinite possibilities for the future. Perhaps he could truly surpass Legends and reach the pinnacle of beast taming…
…
At this moment, Chen Shu gazed at the dissipating phantom in the sky, his mind also a bit bewildered. “I killed a Legend?!” Chen Shu kept repeating, looking at the sky. He remembered that he had been invaded by soul power and had lost consciousness, so he had no idea what kind of mutation had occurred.
“What a pity, it can’t be displayed…” He actually didn’t want to use the urea bag at first, but the phantom above showed no movement, indicating it couldn’t recreate the previous combat scene.
“Regardless, it’s a good thing.” Chen Shu stroked his chin and stopped thinking about it. Perhaps when his strength was sufficient, everything would be revealed…
“At least there’s some gain…” At this moment, he led his contracted spirits to a ruin. He saw a ball of pure purple light floating there, emitting extremely pure soul power…
While the other contracted spirits of Ling Chen had little value, only the Purple Soul Emperor possessed legendary traits. Its soul power was incredibly precious. Just as Chen Shu was about to carefully collect it, another anomaly occurred!
The purple soul power, as if it had gained consciousness, drifted away into the distance.
“Hm?” Chen Shu looked alert, initially thinking the Purple Soul Emperor was still alive, but he detected no life aura, realizing he was overthinking.
“My thing can still run away?” Without hesitation, he led his contracted spirits and followed decisively. However, the speed of the soul power was astonishing, reaching tens of thousands of meters away in an instant.
“Hm?” Chen Shu looked into the distance and saw a black-robed figure standing on a ruin. He was holding a special container in his right hand. The soul power flew rapidly towards it, like a bird returning to its nest, directly entering the container.
“Sorry, you can’t take what belongs to the Church!” The man’s gaze fell upon Chen Shu, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, but inwardly, he was filled with shock. Ling Chen had not informed anyone, including the Salvation Church, about their battle beforehand, intending to avoid interference from others. However, the fall of the Purple Soul Emperor had alerted the Pope, who sent someone to investigate, thus coincidentally encountering Chen Shu. It was fortunate for them that this action allowed them to successfully reclaim the residual power of the Purple Soul Emperor.
“Hm? Yan?” Chen Shu was slightly startled, recognizing the identity of the person as the Rank-3 King-level Archbishop ‘Yan’.
“We are partners, aren’t we? Taking my things like this isn’t very good, is it?”
“Partner my ass!” Archbishop Yan cursed directly, recalling the humiliating experience on the Freedom Continent before…
“Calm down!” Chen Shu waved his hand and said, “This is my spoils of war. Hand it over, and I’ll let you leave!”
“Arrogant!” Archbishop ‘Yan’ curled his lips, “Do you still have any combat power now?”
“More than enough to beat you!” Chen Shu’s lips curved upwards, and he took out the Berserk Potion again. Although his contracted spirits were currently in a weakened state, they could still be revived by consuming medicine, albeit with a more terrifying subsequent weakened state. However, the little spirit had a death resurrection ability, which could remove the weakened state, so it wasn't a major problem.
Watching Chen Shu’s contracted spirits gradually regain their combat strength, ‘Yan’s’ heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively felt a sense of crisis. As a core member of the Church, he was very aware of the combat strength of the young Pope Ling Chen. Although he was also a Rank-3 King, his strength relied on his bloodline abilities, making him the weakest among those of the same rank… Facing the ferocious Chen Shu, he admitted he was afraid…
