"Alright everyone, settle down," Liu Feng waved his hand, "As long as each of you gives your all, I guarantee that this two-month training camp will bring about a qualitative change in you!"
The crowd nodded in unison, the excitement in their eyes still lingering.
Liu Feng glanced at Chen Shu and said, "Chen Pi, you're the main lecturer today. It's your turn to take the stage."
Chen Shu, with a calm expression, walked to the very front of the crowd.
The crowd looked on with anticipation, completely focused, unwilling to miss a single moment. After yesterday's challenge, everyone harbored deep respect for Chen Shu; this was the deterrence of strength!
Chen Shu cleared his throat and said, "Today, the knowledge points I will be covering are mainly about special fierce beasts and the matching techniques of certain skills."
Following this, he began his lecture... His experience was so vast that his teaching came naturally. Among these, the so-called special fierce beasts primarily referred to high-level Lords and exceptionally rare Monarch beasts. Although the types of Monarchs varied, Chen Shu's summarization revealed some common characteristics.
The crowd listened intently, silently noting down every word Chen Shu spoke. Although they couldn't access this level now, they would undoubtedly have opportunities in the future. Perhaps at a critical moment, it could save their lives.
In addition to knowledge about fierce beasts, Chen Shu's lecture on skill pairings also opened their minds, as if a new world had been unlocked. Chen Shu's contracted spirits possessed multiple attributes and a considerable number of skills, including five divine skills, which made Chen Shu's understanding of skill pairings no weaker than that of top-tier Royal-level individuals.
The nine instructors beside them also listened with rapt attention, afraid of missing a single word, appearing as humble learners. Clearly, Chen Shu's lecture also offered them insights. For a moment, the nine exchanged glances, sharing the same sentiment: "The younger generation surpasses the elder..."
"He has truly surpassed me..." Liu Feng murmured to himself, his eyes filled with gratification and a hint of wistfulness. He could no longer shield Chen Shu...
As the day gradually passed, the students' reverence deepened, transforming them into devoted fans. They now understood the meaning of "there is always someone better." Their so-called talents and abilities seemed childish in front of Chen Shu, utterly insignificant. The students' mindsets underwent a significant transformation; their innate arrogance seemed to vanish, replaced by humility and a desire to learn.
"Alright everyone, today's teaching concludes here," Chen Shu cleared his throat, looking at the crowd, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
For a moment, everyone looked disappointed, as if they hadn't had their fill.
"Should we ask Chen Pi to lecture for a couple more days..." Liu Feng stroked his chin, considering a change to the training camp's plan.
Soon, it was time for the six o'clock training session. The spiritual energy within the mountain surged again, and the students, having gathered their composure, hurried into their cultivation.
...
The days at the training camp were simple, filled with lectures and cultivation. The only free time was spent on daily hunts for the three meals. Though seemingly monotonous, everyone was immersed in it, experiencing visible progress each day, whether it was their beast taming power or their understanding of beast taming.
Chen Shu, on the other hand, was quite leisurely. He spent his days reading magazines, sleeping, and playing single-player games, completely relaxing his mind and body...
In the blink of an eye, the theoretical courses were nearing their end... Despite only twenty short days, everyone had undergone transformations to varying degrees.
On the third day, Xiao Xing successfully broke through to Silver three-star, becoming the second Golden Beast Tamer after Ji Feng. On the sixth day, Wang Sheng of the King's Beast Tamer team completed his breakthrough. On the eighth day, Jiang Yu, from a beast taming family, achieved a breakthrough. On the eleventh day, Xiang Yao of the Xiang Group consumed a Monarch True Pearl brought from home and successfully advanced to the Golden level! She was the genius who had competed against Chen Shu in the national competition and had vowed to buy out all the urea stores nationwide... it was that time Chen Shu felt the pressure of money. On the thirteenth day, Bai Xin from a beast taming family broke through to the Golden level. On the sixteenth day, Chen Shu's close friend Wang Jue successfully broke through.
Apart from the emergence of Golden Beast Tamers, everyone else also made significant progress. As of today, the weakest among the hundred students were at Silver three-star, and their combat skills had also greatly improved.
"This is truly extravagant; they used twenty Monarch True Pearls, including some from the Golden level," Chen Shu shook his head in amazement, having learned from Liu Feng that the Spirit Gathering Device burned one Monarch True Pearl daily. "It seems the old man has truly emptied his coffers." According to Chen Shu's understanding, the official armory did not have that many Monarch True Pearls.
"Everyone, today marks the end of our theoretical courses," Liu Feng gazed at the spirited crowd, sensing that each individual had undergone a qualitative change! For a moment, his heart was filled with gratification. "As per our original plan, today we will conduct a comprehensive test, and the grand prize will be resources worth five hundred billion!"
At this, the students' expressions stirred. If divided equally, each person would receive five billion in resources. While this might be a small sum for Chen Shu, for Silver Beast Tamers, it was an astronomical figure!
"The test will not involve combat; it will all be written content," Liu Feng stated. "The material will cover everything taught by our ten instructors, including combat techniques, characteristics of fierce beasts, skill combinations, contracted spirit cultivation, and cultivation essentials..." "I hope all of you will give your best. You are not just taking a test; you are earning resources for yourselves!" With that, the students sat cross-legged on the ground in perfect order, simultaneously opening their training camp watches. Virtual screens appeared before them, and each began to answer the questions diligently. Meanwhile, the ten instructors roamed around, warning everyone against any thoughts of cheating.
"So this is what it feels like to be an invigilator..." Chen Shu stood with his arms crossed, looking relaxed, wandering through the crowd. Whenever he approached, the students would straighten up, instinctively feeling a sense of pressure.
"Um, Teacher Chen..." A female student raised her hand, speaking with a hint of fear, "Could you please not keep walking around me..."
"Hmm? You're not trying to cheat, are you? Trying to get me to move away?"
"No..." The girl quickly denied, "The problem is, you've been pacing next to me for half an hour..."
"..." Chen Shu coughed lightly and quietly moved in another direction.
The exam lasted for the entire day. Given the vast scope of the content, everyone was fully focused, fearful of not being able to complete the paper due to time constraints. At six in the evening, with Liu Feng's call to stop, the hundred students reluctantly ceased their writing.
"Over the next two days, we will grade the papers and release the scores," Liu Feng announced. "You have all worked hard during this period. Please take the next two days to rest and adjust your condition." The students nodded, but the usual joy of a holiday was absent. Everyone was now engrossed in cultivation, finding it hard to break away...
