"???"
Uncle Li's body stiffened. Chen Shu and the others' eyes were glowing, like hungry wolves!
Are you really students?
"Do you still want the key to the treasury?"
Just then, two middle-aged men walked over.
One of them, with a crew cut, had a strange smile on his lips, and most people's expressions shifted.
Chen Shu's body also trembled, and he let out a dry laugh, saying:
"Teacher Liu... Teacher Liu, hello..."
The arrivals were Liu Feng and the owner of the Dou Ling Arena!
Liu Feng's gaze was sharp, and he asked, "Are you here to compete, or to rob?"
"I was just livening things up, I didn't intend to rob anyone!"
"Alright! All of you, hurry up and prepare! Tonight, the Dou Ling Arena will be maintained by you!"
Liu Feng's smile vanished, and he chided.
"Chen Shu!"
Liu Feng walked over, patted his shoulder, and said gently:
"If you lose tonight, I'll scatter your ashes!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he shivered. Was he that ruthless!
...
At this moment, countless spectators were extremely excited, looking forward to the birth of the annual champion tonight.
Time quickly arrived at eight o'clock sharp.
Due to the departure of the original host, Xu Xiaoyu became the new host.
She walked onto the competition stage with a smile, showing no signs of nervousness.
Although it was her first time, having been with Chen Shu for a long time, her psychological resilience was top-notch!
"Dear audience!"
Xu Xiaoyu's voice was pleasant, and she said with a smile:
"Tonight is the final of our Dou Ling Arena Championship! I believe everyone has been eagerly anticipating it!"
She wasted no time and directly announced the contestants' information.
"First, let us welcome the first contestant! This year's most popular contestant! The Southern Jiang Bandit: Chen Shu!"
"Bandit! Bandit! Bandit!"
Tens of thousands of people in the arena rose in unison, shouting in perfect unison, their momentum earth-shattering!
"This is getting exciting!"
Xie Sunan exclaimed, surprised by Chen Shu's popularity.
"It's a shame I didn't participate..."
A Liang shook his head, looking extremely regretful.
"..."
The others wore strange expressions. Did your participation make any difference?
"To be able to crush opponents all the way from Bronze Tier Two, Chen Shu's combat strength is indeed extraordinary!"
Xu Xiaoyu smiled, genuinely happy for Chen Shu.
Then, she continued, "Not only are his two contracted spirits powerful, but his own combat experience is also not to be underestimated..."
Xu Xiaoyu spoke at length about Chen Shu's strengths.
Even though the audience was already well aware of them, they still listened with great interest, as if Chen Shu's praise brought them honor.
Ten minutes later,
Xu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Now, please welcome Chen Shu to the stage!"
Chen Shu left the contestant's passage and stepped onto the competition stage, greeting the surrounding audience.
"Now, for our second contestant!"
At this moment, a young man in white was already waiting in another contestant's passage.
To prevent Chen Shu from playing dirty, the Dou Ling Arena had specifically separated the two contestants...
"They'll introduce me any second now!"
A smile flickered across the young man's lips. His combat strength was also powerful, but Chen Shu's overwhelming aura made him seem a little dim in comparison.
Xu Xiaoyu said calmly, "Please welcome, Long Jiang!"
However, there was only silence, not another word...
"That's it?"
Long Jiang's eyes widened. Had the host been bribed?
After a ten-minute introduction for Chen Shu, I'm being dismissed with a single sentence?
We're both aspiring genius beast tamers competing for the championship, why such differential treatment!
He sighed and had no choice but to go on stage.
Only a small portion of the crowd cheered for him, but their voices were immediately drowned out by the cheers for Chen Shu.
In a private box at the very top,
Liu Feng and the owner of the Dou Ling Arena watched the scene below with great interest.
Even Golden Tier beast tamers still looked forward to the annual battle.
"Old Liu, can your student really win?"
The owner chuckled and said, "He's from the Long family!"
"What is the Long family?"
Liu Feng said lightly, "My student is from the Bandit's family!"
"..."
Below, the two had already arrived at their combat positions.
Both of them appeared calm, without any arrogance, but their eyes revealed strong confidence.
Both were convinced they could win the championship!
Listening to the cheers of the crowd below, Chen Shu said faintly:
"According to tradition, shouldn't we start with some mutual flattery?"
"???"
Long Jiang was slightly taken aback, and he smiled and said:
"I've studied your matches thoroughly! You're very strong, and not just ordinarily strong!"
Chen Shu nodded in agreement, saying seriously:
"Your intuition is really accurate!"
"???"
Long Jiang's mouth twitched. Was he complimenting me or himself?!
He took a deep breath and continued:
"Moreover, your combat experience far surpasses that of your peers. Honestly, even I might not be able to win against you!"
Chen Shu nodded, "You sure know how to talk!"
"Get lost, I'm not playing anymore!"
Long Jiang's eyes widened. Was this what you call mutual flattery?!
A mischievous smile played in Chen Shu's eyes.
He stroked his chin and said, "By the way, you don't seem very old, and I've never seen you before!"
"I didn't go to school!"
"You didn't even get nine years of compulsory education? Don't you have an obligation!"
"..."
Long Jiang rubbed his head. The match hadn't even begun, and he was already feeling a bit defensive.
"I'm from the Long family!"
"Does being from the Long family mean you don't have to study? Knowledge is the ladder of human progress!"
"..."
Long Jiang fell into silence, then summoned his contracted spirit.
He had already figured it out, chatting with Chen Shu was a form of mental torture!
