"A rather perverted..."
Qin Tian paused, then continued:
"Spatial Divine Skill!"
"???"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. What kind of explanation was that? It was as good as saying nothing.
"I don't know either."
Qin Tian shrugged and said, "This kind of thing hasn't appeared before, and the old man didn't tell me. How would I know?"
"Perhaps once your contracted spirit consumes it, you'll understand."
"Is that so..."
Chen Shu nodded and said, "It is indeed a bit difficult for you. This thing is not something a King-level can comprehend."
"???"
Qin Tian was slightly stunned. How dare a Silver-level say such a thing?
"What about the half corpse of that Monarch?"
Chen Shu glanced at the tray and asked, "And the spot for that ruin."
"Do you think these two things can be carried on a tray?"
Qin Tian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll give them to you after we get off stage!"
"That's good then."
Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was afraid someone would intercept it halfway."
"Who would dare to intercept your stuff, kid?"
With that, he smiled and left the competition stage.
Seeing this, the host loudly announced again:
"Now, please welcome the runner-up of the Silver Group, Joanna, to the stage!"
Soon, Joanna, dressed in a white evening gown, elegantly walked onto the stage.
She looked at Chen Shu, smiled slightly, and intentionally moved closer to him.
At the same time, the person awarding her the prize was Dori from the Free Alliance, who was also holding the runner-up prize.
The main prize was a core material from a Beast Emperor, and it was damaged, meaning the success rate of comprehending it wouldn't be high. It was several levels below a Divine Skill.
Immediately after, other contestants also came onto the stage.
According to the rules of the competition, the top eight participants all received substantial rewards and were invited to the stage.
About ten minutes later, thirty-two people were standing on the stage, including the eight from the Silver Group and the eight teams from the Black Iron Group.
A group of people stood on the competition stage, facing the gazes of countless people worldwide, their expressions and demeanor full of confidence.
The warm sunlight shone down, falling precisely on everyone's shoulders, making it seem as though each person was carrying the light of hope.
People from all over the world believed that given a little time to grow, this group of individuals would undoubtedly support the future Blue Star!
The host announced loudly: "Now, please invite Principal Qin of Huaxia Academy to the stage for a speech!"
According to the procedure, a King-level Beast Tamer would be invited to the stage. Who it would be depended on who the champion of the Silver Group was.
Qin Tian, with a gentle smile, calmly walked to the center of the competition stage.
"First, I am honored to personally bring this year's World Championship to a perfect conclusion!"
Qin Tian's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but it carried the authority of a strong individual, commanding inherent respect.
"In this year's World Championship, all the contestants performed exceptionally well, and the excitement of the battles has surpassed that of the previous session!"
"However, I believe the most outstanding among them is Chen Shu, the contestant from Huaxia!"
The crowd below was not surprised; some even curled their lips.
You two are clearly in cahoots. It would be a miracle if you didn't praise Chen Shu.
Qin Tian ignored the crowd below, mainly facing the live broadcast equipment, and continued:
"His contracted spirits are not of high level, and he doesn't even have an S-rank one. He is not on the same level as other contestants!"
"And most importantly, he is not the son of some major conglomerate or the heir of a beast-taming family. He comes from an ordinary family in a small city!"
Upon hearing this, many viewers worldwide were in an uproar, some even finding it hard to believe.
They had investigated Chen Shu's background information, but online information was often half true and half false.
Now, coming from the principal of a top academy, its authenticity was beyond doubt.
Qin Tian's expression turned serious, and he said:
"I can responsibly say that all his resources were snatched... uh... earned through his own hard work!"
He almost misspoke, but the people below seemed unsurprised...
Chen Shu, standing behind him, twitched his mouth and thought:
'Principal, are you perhaps a fan of mine... no, a hater...'
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Qin Tian coughed and continued:
"What I want to say is that to become a powerful Beast Tamer, one needs not only talent and wealth but also personal effort!"
He suddenly turned around, his gaze falling on Chen Shu, and asked:
"Contestant Chen Shu, did you achieve everything through your own hard work?"
"Uh..."
Chen Shu was stunned. How should I answer this?
Looking at the surrounding live broadcast equipment, Chen Shu could only brace himself and step forward, saying:
"Yes, hard work can achieve everything. Of course, a little help is also needed..."
Qin Tian was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Help? What specifically do you mean?"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Should I just say it's a cheat?
"I think I understand what Contestant Chen Shu means."
At this moment, Qin Tian immediately interjected, saying, "This help refers to a good learning environment and a group of good teachers and friends! Am I right, Contestant Chen Shu?"
"That's right, absolutely right!"
Chen Shu couldn't help but give a thumbs-up. As expected of the Principal, his reflexes were indeed top-notch!
Afterward, Qin Tian recounted Chen Shu's various achievements, of course, all beautified, and frequently mentioned Huaxia Academy.
His goal was not to recruit students. In fact, the top academies in the country were all focused on cultivating their own people and did not have excess resources for outsiders.
Qin Tian saying this was purely for showing off...
Half an hour later, Qin Tian coughed and concluded.
"Of course, all other contestants are also excellent."
"My speech is over."
"???"
The pupils of the thirty-one people behind him twitched. That's it?
Aside from Chen Shu, all the other thirty-one were simply summarized as "other contestants"?
Indeed, what kind of outrageous student produces what kind of outrageous principal!
The World Championships of previous years never had such a nonsensical speech; the entire address contained only two keywords:
[Chen Shu] [Huaxia Academy]...
The host breathed a sigh of relief. The speech was finally over.
He walked onto the stage and said, "Alright, now please have Principal Qin step aside, and we will take a group photo next."
As he said this, a piece of equipment was brought in front of the group, ready to take a photo.
The host reminded: "Please raise your prizes!"
Everyone raised their prizes with smiles on their faces.
But at that moment, Lin Han, standing beside them, did not follow suit. Instead, he walked directly to Chen Shu's side.
The host called out, "Contestant Lin Han..."
Lin Han ignored him and continued to look at Chen Shu, a faint smile on his lips.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He thought to himself: 'Why is he looking at me like that? Could he be another pervert...'
