Chen Shu quickly donned a gas mask and was able to leave the community with ease.
It seemed most people didn't know him well, only recognizing his face and not his aura.
"It really feels like New Year's."
As Chen Shu walked down the street, his mood instantly lifted.
He noticed no signs of being monitored along the way, so it seemed the Spirit Suppression Bureau wouldn't bother him anymore.
Nanjiang No. 2 High School.
It was already January, and the final exams were approaching. Students were diligently studying in their classrooms.
As soon as Chen Shu arrived at the school gate, he was stopped.
"Who are you?"
"Uncle, it's me, Chen Shu!"
"You say it's you, so it's you?"
The security guard said, "There are criminals in Nanjiang City right now. You can't go in!"
Clearly, all schools had received news from the Spirit Suppression Bureau, emphasizing the importance of protecting students' safety.
"Uncle, it really is me!"
Chen Shu took off his gas mask, revealing his face.
The security guard looked him up and down and said, "You do look a bit like him. I'm not sure, I'll have to ask the principal!"
Chen Shu's lips twitched. Had he become so unrecognized?
He then took out a bag of urea and shook it a few times. A pungent smell immediately spread.
The security guard flinched, his nose twitched, and he exclaimed:
"That's the genuine smell! It really is you?!"
"..."
Chen Shu remained silent, not expecting that a bag of urea would be more recognizable than his own face.
"Can I go in now?"
"Of course, our school's honored student can definitely enter!"
Chen Shu nodded and returned to his familiar school, muttering to himself:
"Should I find Old Shen for a chat first? Will the special training class not be at the school?"
He followed his memory of the route and arrived outside the Beast Taming Hall. Just as he was about to push the door open,
"Brother Chen Shu!"
A surprised voice called out from behind him.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu turned around and saw a girl smiling brightly at him.
"Qingxue?"
Chen Shu immediately recognized her. Wang Qingxue had grown significantly taller, her features were still delicate and cute,
but her demeanor was entirely different from her sister's, bearing a slight resemblance to Chen Shu's.
"Brother Chen Shu, you've really returned?"
Wang Qingxue's expression was excited. She hadn't expected to meet Chen Shu at school.
"I've been following your competitions. Every match you fought was so brilliant!"
"And your match against Sister Sisi Fang was so intense!"
"And, and, your commercial lines were so well-recited..."
Wang Qingxue's eyes sparkled with admiration, as if she were looking at a guiding light in her life.
Chen Shu smiled, simply listening to Wang Qingxue's words.
She was now about 1.6 meters tall, completely different from the elementary schooler she used to be.
He felt a touch of emotion,
Who would have thought that this thirteen-year-old girl in front of him was only ten three years ago...
Chen Shu said, "By the way, Qingxue, why are you here at the Beast Taming Hall?"
Wang Qingxue replied, "I'm here to collect the resources distributed by the special training class."
"You're in the special training class?"
Chen Shu's lips twitched. He remembered that people only awakened their first contracted spirit at fifteen.
Were the special training classes so lenient now?
"Teacher Shen asked me to join, saying I should store the resources first and use them later."
"..."
Chen Shu was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Old Shen to be so blatant with favoritism.
"Let's go, I'll take a look."
The two headed straight for the Beast Taming Hall.
"Everyone, I hope you will cultivate diligently. The school's conditions are getting better and better!"
In front of the Beast Taming Hall, Shen Wushuang, wearing black-rimmed glasses, spoke sternly.
"You have five times more resources than Chen Shu's batch! I hope at least one person can get into Huaxia University this year!"
Upon hearing Chen Shu's name, everyone seemed to be injected with adrenaline.
They clearly saw him as the ultimate goal to surpass!
Originally, according to the special training class's training plan, they should have been at the Douling Arena in Daxing City.
However, because Chen Shu won the championship, the school's resources surged, leading to a rearrangement of the curriculum.
"Now, begin training your combat skills!"
Shen Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the diligent students with a hint of pride.
Nanjiang No. 2 High School was thriving, and as a teacher of the special training class, he felt a sense of honor.
At this moment, a male student stepped forward and asked,
"Teacher, my contracted spirit's skill, [Meteor Fire], is too prone to losing control midway. Are there any ways to improve it?"
"Your contracted spirit's obedience is not high, and you've just learned the skill, right?"
Shen Wushuang pondered for a moment and said, "Skill control can only be improved through repeated practice and increasing proficiency!"
"Thank you, Teacher."
The male student nodded. Just as he was about to return, a voice was heard:
"One more thing, your contracted spirit's fire attribute might not be sufficient!"
"Hmm?"
Everyone turned to look and saw a young man standing with a little girl.
"I suggest you buy some fire potions first and max out the attributes!"
Chen Shu walked over with a smile and said,
"What can a Black Iron stage cultivator understand? Of course, you should listen to us Silver stage cultivators!"
"Chen Shu! Just shut up!"
Shen Wushuang's lips twitched. Upon hearing such respectful words, he immediately recognized Chen Shu.
"Teacher Shen, you recognized me so quickly?"
Chen Shu widened his eyes. He was wearing a gas mask.
Shen Wushuang pouted and said,
"Never mind wearing a mask, I could recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"
"..."
Chen Shu removed his mask, looked at the crowd, and smiled warmly:
"Hello, junior fellow students. I am Chen Shu!"
Instantly, the entire venue erupted. Everyone's expressions turned incredibly excited.
"It's really Senior Chen Shu!"
"I actually get to see my idol in person! Oh my god!"
"Brother Bandit, I love you!"
Chen Shu felt pleased and smiled, saying, "The college entrance examination is approaching. Everyone needs to work hard!"
"Since you're here, teach them."
Shen Wushuang stretched lazily, wanting to rest.
Chen Shu, having nothing else to do, didn't refuse and said,
"Feel free to ask me any questions you have about your studies!"
His eyes were full of confidence, and he added,
"What a Black Iron stage cultivator at thirty-eight cannot answer, a Silver stage cultivator at twenty-one can!"
"..."
Shen Wushuang, standing beside him,'s lips twitched.
It was one thing to say Black Iron stage, but to deliberately add the age...
It was as if you had stacked both physical penetration and magical penetration!
A male student raised his hand and asked, "Senior, can we ask anything?"
"Anything!"
In an instant, the students swarmed forward, asking:
"Senior, I want to ask, how can I skillfully use a urea bag?"
"I have a question too. What are the precautions for using a butcher's knife? Should I buy a special sharpening stone!"
"Big shot, you made your nuke at home. Are there any detailed tutorials?"
"..."
Chen Shu was stunned.
Were the students this wild now...
