"What?!"
Bai Yang was a bit stunned. In an instant, he heard Bai Wan exclaim:
"Brother, be careful!"
But it was too late for him to react.
A figure kicked out, directly sending him flying!
*Bang!*
Bai Yang's body flew several meters away, finally crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Who?!"
Bai Yang's expression turned angry. Just as he was about to get up, another flying kick came!
*Bang!*
He was sent flying several more meters!
"You're asking for death..."
*Bang!*
"I'm warning you!"
*Bang!*
Bai Yang was kicked around like a ball several times, finally learning his lesson and stopping his threats.
He dodged a kick at the last moment, managing to steady himself. Just as he was about to look towards his attacker,
a dark bag opening descended upon him!
Chen Shu's expression was calm as he covered Bai Yang with a urea bag.
"Serves you right for showing off!"
*Bang bang bang!*
Following that were a barrage of heavy punches, making Bai Yang stagger backward.
"That's enough, you bastard!"
Bai Yang roared as he retreated. The space above his head cracked, and a ferocious black lion appeared.
The black lion was about to roar when it saw two pairs of intelligent eyes.
"Awoo!"
Two dog heads stared intently at the black lion, their mouths slightly open as if smiling.
*Boom boom boom!*
In an instant, a torrent of skills was unleashed, accompanied by various dazzling lights.
Bai Yang's expression changed drastically as he immediately sensed his contracted spirit was severely injured.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Bai Yang asked in shock, unable to see the other person due to the urea bag.
"Four words: Your Fiery Bandit!"
Chen Shu grinned, found his mark, and delivered a heavy punch!
*Bang!*
Bai Yang fell unconscious, a limp sack of flesh, his previous arrogance gone.
"Chen Pi, amazing!"
A Liang and Wang Jue looked on, both giving a thumbs-up.
The person before them was the top student of the second year, and Chen Shu had managed to take him down.
"Piece of cake!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly. Once he launched a surprise attack, there were few who could resist.
"What did you do to my brother?"
Bai Wan's expression changed, and she looked at Chen Shu with fear, as if he were a demon.
Chen Shu glanced at the three of them and asked, "A Liang, what's the situation?"
The two explained the events to Chen Shu.
Two minutes later, Chen Shu's gaze was peculiar as he sized up the trio, exclaiming in shock:
"You guys are even more shameless than I am?!"
"..."
The three wanted to say something, but perhaps out of fear, they remained silent.
"Taking my brother's belongings is like taking the Fiery Bandit's belongings!"
Chen Shu said, crossing his arms. "Tell me, how do you want to resolve this!"
"We... were wrong..."
Bai Wan lowered her head and said with extreme awkwardness.
Chen Shu said, "And then?"
"I've already admitted my mistake, what more do you want?!"
Bai Wan looked up, her eyes blazing with anger, seemingly not understanding why he was being so aggressive.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding of the situation?"
"It's not impressive for a man to bully a girl!"
A girl's eyes flashed with anger as she spoke, "Are you still planning to hit us?"
"How could I, the Fiery Bandit of Nanjiang, do such a thing?!"
A strange smile crept onto Chen Shu's lips.
Hearing this, the three couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least they wouldn't be beaten.
However, the next sentence caused their expressions to change drastically.
"You three will slap yourselves until my two brothers are satisfied. Only then can you leave!"
"You?!"
The three trembled, pointing at Chen Shu, shocked at his audacity.
"These are your brother's exact words. I'm just repeating them!"
Chen Shu said calmly.
"I'll give you ten seconds to compose yourselves. If you don't start slapping yourselves, I'll blow up your entire school!"
"???"
The three were slightly stunned, but they didn't think he was joking.
Soon, the sound of 'papapa' echoed through the air!
The three girls' faces were filled with grievance, their previous arrogant demeanor gone.
At this moment, Bai Wan's gaze flickered towards Chen Shu, her heart filled with hatred.
For so many years, protected by Bai Yang, she had always been the one bullying others. When had she ever been bullied like this?
"A Liang, Old Wang, it's our turn!"
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows, a wicked smile on his face.
Hearing this, Bai Wan and the other two trembled, a sense of dread filling their hearts.
With the strength of that Fiery Bandit, wouldn't they twist their heads askew?
However, when she saw the two men walking towards the unconscious Bai Yang, her heart couldn't help but relax slightly.
Her brother had strong physical conditioning,
perhaps... probably... maybe he could withstand it?
In this barren land, the sound of 'papapa' echoed through the heavens!
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu and his two companions left arm-in-arm, taking two criminals with them to submit their mission.
"Sister Wan, what do we do now?"
The faces of the two girls were swollen, and they held their faces, speaking with grievance.
"It's all because you're useless and don't even know how to accept missions!"
Bai Wan didn't even dare to make a facial expression; the slightest pull caused pain.
"Are you two taking revenge for personal grudges? You hit me so hard!"
"Sister Wan, how could that be?!"
The two denied it, but dared not meet Bai Wan's gaze.
"I won't argue with you anymore. Help me carry my brother back first!"
The three approached Bai Yang's location, finding him still covered by the urea bag, his face hidden.
Bai Wan's hands trembled slightly as she finally gathered the courage to remove the bag.
"Holy cow! What level of fierce beast is this?!"
The two girls did a tactical retreat, then backed away several more steps.
The once handsome Bai Yang had been beaten into a pig's head, truly resembling a fierce beast.
"Sister Wan, is this his butt or his head?"
...
Chen Shu and his two companions first went to the Spirit Suppression Army to submit their case. With the proof slip, they returned to Huaxia Academy.
"Chen Pi, Bai Yang isn't weak. Is he really okay?"
Wang Jue asked with some concern. The title of top student was quite imposing!
"What are you afraid of? As long as they're Black Iron level, I'm not afraid!"
Chen Shu shrugged, not paying it much mind.
Besides, if he really couldn't win, he could always resort to sneak attacks!
The following days became incredibly peaceful.
Chen Shu attended classes during the day, learning various knowledge, especially about items from異空間 (alternate dimensions), which he could recite by heart.
At night, he went to the Duoling Arena to compete.
Throughout his matches, Chen Shu maintained a winning streak, never losing!
His ranking also steadily climbed, eventually reaching the top ten!
The reputation of the Fiery Bandit of Nanjiang soared, and most people eagerly anticipated his matches.
Every night, the vast Duoling Arena was packed, all to witness his fights.
Undoubtedly, Chen Shu, at Black Iron two-star, became the most dazzling star of November!
"Uncle Li, do I have a match tomorrow?"
Chen Shu sent a message to Uncle Li, who managed the Duoling Arena.
With just one more match, he would be in the top two and qualify for the championship competition!
"There is one. I need to call and ask about your opponent!"
Uncle Li replied immediately, his attitude towards Chen Shu extremely courteous.
Then, he dialed another contestant's number.
"Hello, Old Wang, tomorrow night is your match against the Fiery Bandit of Nanjiang!"
"Old Li, I'm sorry! I'm getting married tomorrow, I really can't make it..."
"Married? Aren't you single?"
"Yes, I'm going on a blind date tomorrow morning and getting married that night!"
"..."
Uncle Li of the Duoling Arena twitched his mouth. Could his excuse be any more ridiculous?!
Chen Shu's two contracted spirits were indeed too powerful.
He couldn't accurately predict his opponents' defense and had to fight with all his might.
Over the past month, his opponents had sustained injuries of varying degrees, naturally instilling fear in their hearts.
"Old Li, no more talking, my phone only has 98% battery left. I'm hanging up!"
"..."
