Chen Shu grinned, and saw the husky and the space rabbit return into Xiao Huang's mouth.
Xiang Yao had her three fake contracted spirits do the same.
Boom!
At this moment, two terrifying [Death Fire Pillars] spewed out, and the scorching temperature spread.
"Roar!"
The two fake huskies, unwilling to be outdone, released their [Death Fire Pillars].
However, the gap between level 1 and level 10 was too vast. The fake Death Fire Pillars were instantly shattered and overwhelmed.
Boom!
The twenty-meter-tall fake slime was sent flying backward. Even with its astonishing defense, it couldn't withstand the fiery impact.
Just then, over its head, more than a dozen [True Damage Ice Spikes] appeared.
Facing the slime, the husky showed no mercy.
It seemed the relationship between the two contracted spirits was indeed quite good...
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The ice spikes flew towards them, but they were transferred away by the Space Rabbit's spatial portal. Great Wind Novel.
Xiang Yao was truly a genius, mastering basic combat skills instantly.
But this did not affect the outcome of the battle.
Chen Shu's three contracted spirits were completely dominating her.
Although they were all the same skills, the damage and effects were vastly different. It was clear they were imitations.
Even with the augmentation from the Purple Tail Spirit Rat, the fake contracted spirits' strength remained unimpressive.
The wood element spirit continuously released healing skills.
But it was merely a drop in the bucket. The husky's damage was too high!
Xiang Yao's primary force, the Four-Eyed Demon Fox, besides replication, also possessed various mental魅惑 (charm) skills.
But unfortunately, facing three contracted spirits of the "smart" type, its effect was minimal.
Her team composition included control, healing, and support, along with a monstrous Monarch skill, making her truly formidable.
However, in the face of absolute firepower, it was quickly deciphered.
"Surrender!"
Chen Shu grinned. He hadn't been too clear about his own skill levels.
But now, with Xiang Yao as a comparison, he understood immediately.
Xiang Yao remained silent, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
She was supposed to counter Chen Shu, but the situation had reversed, with Chen Shu perfectly countering her!
In just five minutes, all three fake contracted spirits were defeated.
And Xiang Yao's three contracted spirits were already incapable of fighting.
"I lost..."
She could only recall her contracted spirits, her eyes filled with dejection. She hadn't expected to stop at the semi-finals.
The venue fell silent. No one had expected Chen Shu's semi-final match to be so effortless.
But the next moment, it erupted into clamor, with people discussing heatedly.
"I feel like Chen Shu perfectly countered her, don't you?"
"He absolutely shut her down!"
"Wang Sheng was also countered before, their luck is really bad!"
"Could it be that Chen Shu's strength is so overwhelming that he counters everyone he faces?"
"That makes sense!"
At this moment, the two had already left the competition stage.
Xiang Yao turned her head, her bright eyes looking at Chen Shu, and said seriously:
"I want to ask a question!"
Chen Shu replied without hesitation: "Taoguo!"
"???"
Xiang Yao was completely bewildered. What was he even saying?
Besides, didn't people usually say "Aiguo," but he said "Taoguo"?
She took a deep breath and said:
"I want to ask, just how high are your skill levels?"
As a participant, she naturally understood the root of her defeat.
There was definitely something wrong with the opponent's skill levels!
If it was just one or two skills with a large gap, she could understand.
But the opponent had completely crushed her with all skills, which was simply outrageous!
"Quite high!"
Chen Shu thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Let me put it this way: it's equivalent to me selling off Huaxia University. The higher the school president's blood pressure, the higher my skill level is!"
"..."
Xiang Yao was instantly speechless. What kind of absurd analogy was that?
But she had to admit, it was quite vivid...
"I have a different opinion!"
Liu Feng had already arrived behind him and had also heard Chen Shu's analogy, saying:
"I think, the higher his ashes are scattered, the higher his skill level is!"
"..."
Xiang Yao's eyes widened, and she immediately took her leave.
These teachers and students were one more outrageous than the other. She couldn't afford to provoke them...
"Do we really need to make such comparisons..."
Chen Shu chuckled and said, "Teacher, I'm almost going to win the championship. Is it too much to sell a school?"
"??"
Liu Feng's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Shu cut him off.
"We'll split the money from the sale fifty-fifty!"
"Well..."
Liu Feng was stunned, and faintly felt a touch of temptation.
Just as the teacher and student were discussing the feasibility,
"Achoo!"
Qin Tian of Huaxia University sneezed seven or eight times in a row, looking bewildered.
"What's going on? Is someone targeting me for no reason?"
...
Chen Shu's match concluded, successfully securing a spot in the world competition.
No one had expected a twenty-one-year-old student to fight his way through and qualify for the finals!
In the afternoon, it was time for the Iron group semi-finals.
A Liang and his group confidently took the stage. After their previous battle, they had gained sufficient confidence.
"This is likely to be a tough fight."
Liu Feng murmured, watching the opponents on the field.
"No way, I thought A Liang's tactics were good, and with the mutated thunderbird's psychological humiliation, wouldn't it be an easy win?"
"It's not that easy!"
Liu Feng sighed and said, "The opposing captain has a divine skill!"
Clearly, he was not optimistic about A Liang's group.
As expected, at the start of the battle, A Liang and the others suffered a severe blow.
The mutated thunderbird was actually restrained!
With its speed, it could dodge most skills, and it possessed skills to break free from control. It could be said that no contracted spirit could hold it.
But unfortunately, it encountered a control-type divine skill!
The thunderbird plummeted to the ground, its eyes vacant, unable to unleash any skills, completely rendered useless.
Xiao Xing's connection with the thunderbird was forcibly severed.
The Thunder Ape and other contracted spirits desperately resisted, trying to hold on until the thunderbird recovered.
But unfortunately, their defense and offense capabilities were too weak, and they were ultimately defeated by the opponent.
A Liang and his group missed out on the championship and runner-up spots, and could only strive to compete for third place.
"A Liang, look on the bright side!"
Chen Shu comforted him. It was already beyond expectations for the three of them to reach this stage.
"Sigh, I'm fine."
A Liang shook his head, but the disappointment in his eyes was undeniable.
They were just one step away from the summit, but unfortunately, they were defeated. Naturally, they were unwilling.
"It was my fault."
Xiao Xing also sighed. Success and failure revolved around the thunderbird!
"Actually, you've done quite well!"
Liu Feng smiled and said, "With a bit more effort, you have a chance to get third place, and you can also participate in the world competition."
A Liang and the other two nodded, can only do their best.
In fact, they had discussed various tactics, but they were basically centered around the mutated thunderbird.
With the thunderbird incapacitated, the team's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Another five days passed, and the second semi-final match was about to begin!
The Silver group matches were still highly anticipated!
Fang Si vs. Jiang Wendust!
