'Xie Fengyu's' simple words instantly filled Chen Shu with killing intent, making him unable to resist acting on the spot.
"Don't get excited..."
Ling Chen's voice was calm, "I just want to tell you something."
"No, you're not even worthy of talking to me?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with disdain.
"You're truly arrogant?"
Ling Chen's expression turned cold. Although he knew the other party was deliberately saying this, he was still provoked.
After all, he considered himself a peerless genius, full of self-conceit. Now, being deemed unworthy of even talking to, he naturally couldn't suppress his anger.
Ling Chen paused, calming his anger, and said with a sinister smile:
"I'm not worthy, but Fang Si is, right?"
"Hmm?!"
Chen Shu's gaze immediately turned sharp. He grabbed Ling Chen by the neck, killing intent surging in his eyes, and a cold,肃杀 aura permeated the entire street.
"Don't get excited..."
Seeing this, Ling Chen said faintly, "I am Xie Fengyu now, not Ling Chen!"
Looking at Xie Fengyu's face, Chen Shu's movements paused. He forcibly suppressed his killing intent and said word by word:
"If you dare to touch her, the consequences will be very serious!"
He finally understood why he had felt uneasy...
"She's just bait, I truly want you!"
Ling Chen smiled slightly and said faintly:
"If you want to save her, come to the capital of Lan Country. I'll give you a chance! And haven't you always wanted to kill me?"
"What exactly do you want?"
Chen Shu took a deep breath, trying to negotiate with the other party, thinking of rescuing Fang Si first.
Ling Chen said calmly, "Do you think I lack anything? Come obediently to the capital of Lan Country. I'll be waiting for you here..."
"Okay! I'll come!"
Chen Shu agreed without hesitation.
"Bold! I'll give you half a day!"
Ling Chen smiled and said, "Remember, come alone, otherwise I can't guarantee Fang Si's safety..."
"Deal!"
Chen Shu suppressed his killing intent, forcing himself to calm down.
"Then, goodbye..."
Ling Chen waved his hand, revealing a sinister smile.
The next second, Xie Fengyu closed her eyes, her body suddenly went limp.
"Xie Fengyu!"
Chen Shu held her, his expression suddenly stunned. She had already lost her life...
"You bastard!"
He clenched his fists, killing intent surging uncontrollably in his eyes, his terrifying aura exploding.
"Ling Chen, you will die..."
He carried Xie Fengyu and, with a long-distance teleportation, left the continent and arrived at a desolate island.
"Guji!"
Xiao Huang was summoned. Sensing its master's emotions, it rubbed against Chen Shu, wanting to make him feel better.
Chen Shu petted Xiao Huang and, carrying Xie Fengyu, headed straight for Lan Country in the west.
Chen Shu had an impression of this medium-sized human power.
During the Beast Taming World Championship, Lin Han from Lan Country had caused a stir like a dark horse. At the final award ceremony, Chen Shu had exposed his identity as a member of the Salvation Church.
"Ling Chen is from the Church?"
Chen Shu faintly thought of a possibility.
Otherwise, given his current status, there was no need for betrayal. Moreover, having infiltrated for so many years, he must have had a purpose from the beginning.
"I truly underestimated him!"
Chen Shu sat on Xiao Huang's head and forced himself to calm down.
If he acted impulsively, not only would he fail to save Fang Si, but he would also be dragged down. This was the worst possible outcome.
"Ling Chen's own strength is unfathomable..."
Chen Shu's thoughts churned as he muttered to himself:
"Being able to control a King-tier Rank 2 Beast Tamer, he is definitely not to be underestimated, at least King-tier Rank 3 in strength."
He analyzed based on the intelligence he already possessed and finally concluded:
Ling Chen's strength was between King-tier Rank 3 and Legendary, possibly even pseudo-Legendary.
As for Legendary, it was basically impossible, as there were only four Legendary Beast Tamers in the world, and they were powerful figures from a thousand years ago.
"The other party is very likely a core member of the Church, no wonder he could improve so quickly..."
Chen Shu stroked his chin, thinking of the special abilities of the Salvation Church, which could devour human contracted spirits to increase their strength.
"It seems that the fallen powerhouses over the years are not solely due to the Night Organization..."
Chen Shu then thought of his former enemy Bai Yang.
That person was a genius cultivated by the Night Organization, and he was also a core member of Ling Chen's Genius Club.
Could it be that all along,
The Night Organization and the Salvation Church had a cooperative relationship?
One responsible for killing, the other for devouring?
As Ling Chen's identity surfaced, he immediately understood many things.
"Ling Chen, who is at least King-tier Rank 3, is not easy to deal with..."
Chen Shu sighed and muttered, "If he's pseudo-Legendary, it's even more troublesome."
"If the old man could help, that would be great..."
He hadn't informed anyone and left China alone, worried that it would provoke Ling Chen, thus putting Fang Si in danger.
After all, there were still Uncontrolled individuals in the country.
Everyone might be Ling Chen's eyes, so he dared not seek help.
"First, try to improve my strength!"
He thought of the system rewards he had previously obtained and muttered to himself:
"Extreme Skill Points, two Bloodline Evolutions, [Wind Control] skill book..."
He didn't hesitate and directly gave the [Wind Control] to Xiao Huang, greatly increasing its resistance to wind-attribute attacks.
"Skill points and bloodline evolution must be handled with care..."
Chen Shu murmured, his eyes showing contemplation.
Currently, among his contracted spirits, only Xiao Huang was S+, while the others were SS-class. If he used two Bloodline Evolutions on them, they could be promoted to SSS-class!
This meant he was about to possess his first SSS-class Ultimate form contracted spirit!
"But the rabbit won't do... it has a bloodline lock..."
Chen Shu shook his head, immediately excluding the rabbit, as its bloodline lock was still present.
When a contracted spirit's potential rating was SS+, if it underwent Bloodline Evolution again, it would impact the bloodline lock, with a small chance of breaking through to SSS-class!
However, Chen Shu's Husky had consumed a Bloodline Bead, and the little spirit had swallowed the essence of the Bat King, both of which had unlocked their bloodline locks, allowing them to break through to SSS-class with a hundred percent certainty!
Xiao Huang also had no lock, but its level was only S+. Two evolutions could only push it to SS+, without any qualitative change.
"Then the Husky..."
Chen Shu hesitated for a moment, then finally chose the intelligent-looking Husky.
Although the little spirit's abilities were also quite heaven-defying, it was ultimately just an auxiliary contracted spirit.
Facing the unknown strength of Ling Chen, the improvement of the Husky was clearly more meaningful.
Chen Shu no longer hesitated and directly gave the two Bloodline Evolution opportunities to the Husky...
Two dazzling halos suddenly appeared, surging with unfathomable power, and merged into the Husky's body...
"Awoo—"
The lively Husky yelped twice, then fell into a slumber, its body involuntarily emanating a terrifying power...
Who would have thought that an ordinary Husky could one step at a time, ascend to the SSS-class Ultimate form!
"Foolish people have foolish blessings, and so do foolish dogs..."
Chen Shu shook his head and muttered to himself:
"SSS-class Husky, don't disappoint me..."
