The two left the competition grounds and walked on the academy's sports field.
Liu Feng was silent, a hint of melancholy in his eyes. He couldn't withstand Chen Shu's attack?
"Teacher, how was my damage?"
Chen Shu turned to look, a smile curving his lips.
"It was alright!"
Liu Feng regained his composure and said, "A little stronger than an ordinary Silver-ranked Beast Tamer."
"As expected of a Gold-ranked Beast Tamer, you could gauge the damage without even receiving the skills!"
Chen Shu gave him a thumbs-up, admiration in his eyes.
"..."
Liu Feng's lips twitched. Was this kid trying to annoy him?
"What's the situation with your clone skill?"
He considered himself well-traveled, but the Beast Tamers he knew who possessed clone skills were only three, and each could only create one clone.
"It's about the level!"
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "As the skill level increases, the skill undergoes a qualitative change. Didn't you know that?"
"For example, at Clone Level 5, you can create an extra clone. At Charge Level 20, you can..."
"Wait! Wait a moment!"
Liu Feng's eyes widened. "Charge at how many levels?"
"Level 20!"
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Based on my accumulated experience, skills reaching Level 20 will definitely undergo a qualitative change!"
"..."
Liu Feng fell silent, speechless for a long time.
After a while, he said with a worried expression:
"Do you know the highest level of my skills?"
"Hmm?"
"Level seven..."
Liu Feng sighed, instantly feeling dejected.
Chen Shu nodded, speaking with a serious expression.
"Level seven doesn't cause a qualitative change. Why not raise it to Level 20?"
"???"
Liu Feng turned to look at him, staring directly without a word.
But the next second, all four of his contracted Golden Spirits appeared, seemingly ready to unleash their skills on the spot.
"Uh..."
Chen Shu took a step back, chuckling awkwardly. "Don't be rash, don't be rash..."
"Are you trying to be like 'let them eat cake'?"
Liu Feng glared at him and cautioned, "Don't casually expose your skill levels!"
"Don't worry!"
Chen Shu shrugged, knowing what he was doing.
"Be careful in the World Competition too! You might encounter strong enemies or those who counter you!"
Liu Feng patted his shoulder, not wanting Chen Shu to be careless.
He understood that if nothing unexpected happened, Chen Shu had a high probability of winning the world championship, or at least securing a top-three finish.
"For the time being, don't leave the school!"
Liu Feng said, "I'm worried that Dark Night will be enraged and send people to kill you!"
"Thank you for your concern, Teacher!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "I'm not too scared, actually..."
"You're not scared, but I am!"
Liu Feng said earnestly, "What if you encounter an assassin and throw a nuke again? What will happen then? How will you explain it to the public?"
Chen Shu mumbled, "If it really comes to that, we can just say there was a nuclear incident in the capital..."
"Get lost!"
Liu Feng directly gave him a rap on the head and said, "Who would believe such a preposterous explanation!"
"Now, go back to your dorm obediently!"
"Oh."
Chen Shu drooped his head, then added, "By the way, are there any rewards for me this time?"
Liu Feng said calmly, "It would be good enough if you weren't punished. Go back and wait for your prison notice!"
"??"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. What did he mean by prison notice?
Just as he was about to ask, Liu Feng turned and left.
"I am a hero!"
He sighed and walked towards his dorm...
Liu Feng, however, had already turned back, watching Chen Shu's receding figure, and muttered to himself:
"The era is about to change because of him..."
...
"Clone at Level 5 did indeed create an extra one."
Chen Shu stroked his chin. In fact, it was initially just his guess, as Gigantification at Level 6 was the special effect that enhanced defense.
After his previous tests, the extra clones inherited all skills, but their effectiveness was only half.
It seemed he still needed to increase his skill levels to gradually improve the combat power of his clones.
Even so, it had significantly boosted the combat strength of "Er Ha."
Shortly after, he returned to his dorm.
"Ah Liang and the others aren't back yet?"
Chen Shu looked at the empty dorm, then turned and went back to his room, collapsing onto his bed to sleep.
The Dark Night organization incident had exhausted him, and he could finally rest well.
...
Days passed by.
The nuclear incident from the day before was reported the next day.
The culprit was naturally the universally condemned Dark Night organization.
As for the nuclear bomb, it was merely an emergency measure taken by the official personnel.
As a plague on Blue Star, the use of nuclear weapons was understandable.
In an instant, the public rejoiced, feeling immense pride: China had become the safest major power on Blue Star!
It was known that the other three major powers had Dark Night strongholds, and assassination incidents occurred frequently, even frustrating Legendary Beast Tamers who could not eradicate them.
As for the greatest contributor, Chen Shu, there was no publicity or reporting.
The first reason was that the World Competition was about to begin, and Chen Shu would have to go abroad, where he would likely be targeted by the Dark Night organization.
The second reason was the concern that this fellow would get too carried away and throw nuclear bombs whenever there was a problem...
In dorm 333,
Chen Shu sat in front of his computer, a hint of dejection in his eyes. He muttered to himself:
"As expected, no company is willing to hire me!"
He, the notorious bandit of Nanjiang, the foremost figure of the new era, could only choose to become a loafer?
Just then, a voice came from behind him:
"Think about it from a different perspective. At least there are no criminal organizations in the country anymore!"
"Hmm?" Da Feng Novel
Chen Shu turned around and saw Qin Tian walking out from the balcony, followed by Liu Feng and an elderly man with a vigorous spirit.
"Elder Li?"
Chen Shu immediately got up, respect in his eyes.
Through the television reports in the past few days, he had understood the old man's identity – the former Commander-in-Chief of the Spirit Suppression Army!
His entire life had been spent suppressing fierce beasts from异空间 (alternate dimensions) and safeguarding the security of Blue Star.
Such a person deserved Chen Shu's respect!
Of course, there was another factor that couldn't be ignored: perhaps Elder Li could actually get him a nuclear bomb permit...
"Young friend Chen Shu, no companies are hiring you?"
Li Jianguo's eyes held a hint of surprise. "Are the current companies' requirements so high?"
"There really aren't any!"
Chen Shu sighed and said, "Elder Li, I just want 51% of the company's shares. Is that really too much?"
"???"
Li Jianguo was slightly taken aback. Was he speaking Mandarin? He didn't quite understand...
He said, "Little Chen, let me see your resume!"
As soon as Chen Shu handed it over, Qin Tian snatched it away, his expression showing a hint of panic.
This wasn't a resume at all; it was a living guide to imprisonment!
Qin Tian chuckled and explained, "Elder Li, this thing... it's not suitable for all ages..."
