"What... what's burning?"
Qin Tian's expression froze. He glanced over and immediately saw Chen Shu's appearance.
"Damn! What's going on?"
He took a tactical step back, moving away from Chen Shu.
"Uh... normal situation, no need to panic!"
White mist continuously rose from Chen Shu's body, making him look incredibly strange.
"This isn't because he ate luosifen, is it?"
"I suspect he didn't eat noodles, but a nuclear bomb..."
Everyone nodded in agreement, instinctively moving away from him, their eyes filled with caution.
Did normal people exhibit such symptoms?
"Something's wrong... his aura?"
Qin Tian had regained his composure and immediately detected fluctuations of spiritual energy within Chen Shu.
"He... he's become Black Iron level three?!"
Qin Tian's eyes widened, filled with shock.
Having been in the field for decades, he had never witnessed such a situation. He broke through for no reason?
"This kid?!"
Liu Feng frowned, recalling the time Chen Shu broke through to Black Iron level two.
He had also broken through after eating some luosifen.
However, he remembered there being no white mist back then...
"Do geniuses have anomalies when they break through?"
The surrounding students' mouths hung slightly agape, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This was just spiritual energy resurgence, not some fantasy world. Was it really this outrageous?
"He seems to be burning even more intensely..."
Just then, someone pointed at Chen Shu, their voice laced with even greater shock.
Everyone looked over in unison. Indeed, Chen Shu's entire body was shrouded in white mist, revealing nothing.
"Chen Shu, are you alright, kid?"
Liu Feng sprinted to Chen Shu's side, his eyes filled with concern.
"I'm fine, I just can't see you clearly!"
Chen Shu said, speaking from within the dense fog, a calm smile on his lips.
He wouldn't have any white mist when breaking through from Black Iron level two to three.
However, breaking through from Black Iron level three to Silver was a major realm advancement.
A massive influx of spiritual energy surged forward, directly assaulting the bottleneck within his body.
His body couldn't absorb it instantly, causing the spiritual energy to condense into a thick mist on his surface.
"This fog is getting thicker and thicker!"
At this moment, the crowd retreated several meters again. The area within ten meters of Chen Shu was enveloped by the thick fog, appearing extremely bizarre!
"Isn't this a ghost encounter?"
"I said he wasn't from Blue Star back then!"
"It's over! The peaceful academy is about to be attacked by an unknown lifeform parasite..."
The crowd began to panic, with some even opening the doors of the sparring arena, preparing to flee the scene of misfortune.
"Everyone, don't panic!"
Qin Tian's voice was calm as he soothed the panicked crowd.
He, a King-level practitioner, hadn't sensed any danger, proving it was indeed a normal situation...
But this was simply too outrageous. How could white mist continuously emerge from his body?
Was he truly burning up?
At this moment, the white mist had already spread, covering nearly half of the sparring arena...
"Old Liu, what do you think?"
Qin Tian and Liu Feng stood at the edge of the white mist, discussing.
"Use your eyes..."
"Huh? At a time like this, you're still joking?!"
"No, Brother Qin, although he's my student, I've never seen this situation before!"
Liu Feng's mouth twitched. The range of the white mist was too vast!
"This seems to be the atomization of spiritual energy..."
An old professor extended his right hand, touched the white mist, and stated with certainty.
"Elder Liu, are you sure?!"
Qin Tian turned to look, his eyes filled with shock.
He had indeed suspected it was ambient spiritual energy,
but even the academy's top-tier training rooms didn't have this level of spiritual energy!
Professor Liu nodded and said, "I've been researching spiritual energy resurgence for decades. I can recognize spiritual energy even if it turns to ash!"
"This kid..."
Qin Tian stroked his chin, deep in thought.
At this moment, the white mist spread again, enveloping everyone.
The vision range of a Black Iron level Beast Tamer was significantly reduced, with visibility dropping to less than two meters.
The stabilized crowd began to panic again...
"Old Liu, his aura is still rising!"
Qin Tian's expression trembled. He stared intently at Chen Shu's figure through the white mist.
"Still rising?"
Liu Feng was startled upon hearing this. "Isn't he already Black Iron level three?"
"This kid... he's not going to directly reach Silver, is he..."
His voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with horror.
Qin Tian's brow was also furrowed. He said uncertainly:
"Probably... not... Is breaking through really easier than drinking water?"
At this moment, both the formidable King-level Beast Tamers and the esteemed old professors were flustered...
Although Chen Shu always acted unconventionally,
today's events were still unacceptable...
This was no longer human behavior!
Qin Tian's expression trembled, and he said, "His aura has reached the peak of the Black Iron level!"
"The white mist is thinning... he's still absorbing!"
Liu Feng took a deep breath. His eyes were no longer filled with excitement and anticipation,
but rather a sense of sheer absurdity, the greatest absurdity in the world!
Qin Tian said, "He might not break through. The Silver level requires not only spiritual energy but also one's state of mind!"
For example, Su Han at the time had a lingering shadow from Chen Shu, which caused him to be unable to break through to Silver for a long time.
At this moment, Chen Shu closed his eyes, feeling a qualitative change in his thoughts.
In the next instant, his two contracted spirits appeared beside him!
Chen Shu hadn't actively summoned them; they had left his Beast Taming Space automatically.
"Hoo hoo hoo~~~"
The Slime slept soundly with its eyes closed, drool continuously flowing from its slightly parted mouth.
However, its body seemed to be coated in a layer of golden light, and its aura began to change.
The Husky above its head also closed its eyes.
Its front paws instinctively clawed, and it let out yelps. Its aura was undergoing a transformation.
A breakthrough in a major realm would not only awaken new contracted spirits,
but also cause existing contracted spirits to undergo a bloodline evolution!
"He really broke through..."
Qin Tian's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at the two contracted spirits within the white mist, feeling as if he were dreaming.
So, there were people who could break through two levels in a row...
"Is the textbook going to be revised again?"
An old professor sighed. Chen Shu's Golden Slime had already caused one revision of the textbook.
How long had it been before another revision was needed?
Liu Feng turned and said, "I think we can directly publish a 'Brute Force' version of the textbook..."
This was completely inhuman!
The crowd continued to watch Chen Shu, not moving away,
but they dared not approach, fearing they might interrupt his breakthrough.
At this moment, Chen Shu's two contracted spirits underwent a qualitative change, and their combat power was greatly enhanced.
"Mmm... so comfortable..."
Chen Shu opened his eyes and couldn't help but groan, feeling incredibly refreshed.
His brain seemed to have undergone an indescribable change.
His intelligence might not have increased, but he felt completely different from before.
Chen Shu shook his head, no longer dwelling on it. He fixed his gaze on the cracking space beside him.
His third contracted spirit was about to appear!
