This was a no-brainer.
Chen Shu would have chosen it just for the bandit's aura.
"Du Long, while I'd love to accept your challenge," Chen Shu paused deliberately.
Du Long looked over, intending to use provocation to force Chen Shu's hand.
But at that very moment, a yellow figure appeared above Yalóng's head!
"What the hell! You ambushed me again!"
A colossal creature, over ten meters long, materialized instantly.
The slime's eyes were resolute, its expression contorted as if determined to make the Yalóng below aware of its might.
Du Long's reaction time was too slow; he hadn't anticipated Chen Shu pulling this move.
However, the Earth Yalóng reacted a fraction faster. It had been ambushed before, and as a victim, it naturally had lingering trauma.
A sharp earth spike suddenly emerged, looking incredibly keen.
Given the slime's immense size, it was impossible for it to dodge.
"Damn, that was a quick reaction!"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow slightly but remained unperturbed.
The slime opened its massive maw, wind howling. Using the wind's thrust, it forcefully altered its descent trajectory, barely evading the earth spike.
Shen Wushuang nodded approvingly. Chen Shu's skill usage was becoming increasingly proficient.
"Huh? Did Chen Shu's slime get a little bigger again?"
"Yeah! This damned oppressive feeling, it's like the Earth Yalóng is truly just a bug."
Many people showed surprise. The slime might not be good at anything else, but it was big! Unbearably big!
"An eighth-tier Beast Master?"
Shen Wushuang sensed the fluctuations of beast-mastering power from Chen Shu and immediately knew he had broken through.
In an instant, Xu Xiaoyu and Tang Lie both looked over.
"I remember his beast-mastering talent was ordinary..."
Most students in the special training class possessed excellent talent; otherwise, they wouldn't have stood out from their grade.
Shen Wushuang was baffled. Ordinary talent, and a contract spirit of the lowest F-grade, yet he was this strong?
Clouds of mist swirled, making them feel like the true cattle and horses.
"Even if you've become an eighth-tier Beast Master, I, Du Long, am still not afraid!"
Du Long roared, both to bolster his own spirits and those of the Yalóng.
Boom!
As soon as the words left his mouth, a tremendous sound echoed. The Earth Yalóng was sent flying!
It finally landed at the edge of the battle platform.
The Earth Yalóng looked over with complex eyes, its gaze seeming to say, "Master, you're not scared, but I am!"
It currently felt a dull ache all over its body, as if it had been hit by a mountain.
As a slime, occasionally beating up a dragon was perfectly reasonable.
"You bug aren't any good, huh?"
Chen Shu sighed, feeling a sense of invincible loneliness from his lofty position.
"Damn you! You're too arrogant!"
Du Long's expression turned furious. The Earth Yalóng instantly braced its four limbs and charged towards the slime.
Roar!
A strange fluctuation appeared on the ground where the slime was, as if an earthquake had struck.
Its round, bulging body became stuck and unable to move.
"Die!"
The Earth Yalóng lunged, its sharp colossal claws striking down.
Facing such a perilous situation, the slime yawned listlessly and immediately fell into a slumber.
"You must be kidding me! This is too much!"
The Earth Yalóng's eyes flared with ferocity, intending to gravely injure it with its claws.
Bang!
There was no sound of flesh being pierced as expected, but rather a crisp impact.
The Yalóng's front claws instantly cracked, and blood splattered.
"Bite it!"
The Earth Yalóng attacked using various parts of its body, but to no avail.
Huuu...
The slime showed no signs of waking.
In contrast, the Earth Yalóng panted heavily, already exhausted.
Chen Shu looked distressed and advised, "How about we stop? There's no need to torment your contract spirit. Do you have a grudge against the Earth Yalóng?"
Du Long was almost spitting blood, his fists clenched. The Earth Yalóng couldn't even break through the opponent's defense.
Having awakened a dragon-type contract spirit, he had always been hailed as "someone else's child."
Naturally proud, he never expected to be repeatedly thrashed by a slime.
"I concede!"
Du Long sighed deeply, his eyes even becoming a little moist.
"How proud can I be? I'm just as vulnerable, aren't I?
You class monitor will always be your class monitor, understand?"
Chen Shu walked to the front of the classroom, looking down at the crowd.
"I know many of you are unconvinced. Today, I'll give you a chance! As long as you can defeat me, I'll offer ten high-grade beast-taming beads!"
"Of course, if you lose, you'll have to give me one high-grade beast-taming bead!"
Chen Shu's eyes darted around. It was time to harvest some beloved leeks.
"A tenfold multiplier, surely no one would dare to back down?"
Chen Shu's gaze fell upon Tang Lie and the others, not even sparing Xu Xiaoyu.
In his eyes, leeks knew no status!
Suddenly, Chen Shu remembered something and pointed to the back row, saying, "Hey, Xie Sunan, you sit down! This has nothing to do with you!"
The divine skill "Love is a Light" always delivered. Who dared to ignore it?
"No one wants to fight? Is the dignity of geniuses being trampled by a commoner like me like this?"
Chen Shu sighed, putting on a disappointed look of someone who failed to inspire.
Shen Wushuang twitched his mouth, feeling an urge to beat Chen Shu up.
Just then, Hong Ming stepped forward.
"I will!"
He looked resolute, his eyes filled with burning battle intent, and said, "Chen Shu, if you want to fight, I will fight!"
Instantly, a ferocious Violent Ape materialized.
Roar!
It let out a roar, like the Monkey King just breaking free from his seal, ready to tear the heavens and earth apart.
One minute later...
"My monkey ah~~~"
Hong Ming's eyes were red as he caressed the downed Violent Ape beside him, looking as if he were about to ascend.
"Chen Shu! You're truly ruthless!"
"How was I supposed to know? When such a massive slime sat down, you foolish monkey didn't even dodge. Life is already short, and it insisted on taking a shortcut."
Chen Shu struggled to suppress his laughter, finally bursting out in a giggle.
Shen Wushuang twitched his mouth and said, "Alright, hurry and collect it, then go see the school doctor!"
He hadn't expected the Violent Ape to be so arrogant. With that small physique, trying to lift a slime? Was this a joke?
"Next!"
Chen Shu rubbed his hands. He hadn't expected to get a high-grade beast-taming bead so easily.
Tang Lie, from below the stage, gave Wang Yun a look.
Wang Yun whispered, "Young Master Tang, I really can't beat him."
"Who told you to fight him directly? Don't you understand a war of attrition? First, wear down that monstrous creature's stamina, then I'll make the final move and take him down!"
"Alright..."
Wang Yun sighed. So, he was just cannon fodder?
He stepped forward and declared loudly, "Chen Shu, I, Wang Yun, am the first to refuse you!"
As he passed Hong Ming, he whispered, "Please help me get in line."
