"..."
Everyone's faces were covered in black lines. With your ability to cause trouble, it was possible you'd offend anyone.
Liu Feng spoke, "Perhaps it's just animosity between contestants."
"Maybe so."
Qin Tian nodded and said, "Chen Pi, you should stay put for now. I'll use my skills to seal your room."
"??"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. "Principal, you don't have to be so ruthless, do you?"
"Brother Qin, there's really no need. I'll keep an eye on Chen Shu!"
Liu Feng leaned over and said,
"Don't even mention Chen Shu. I feel like Xiao Xing's Thunderbirds can't outrun my wheelchair anymore."
"..."
Everyone fell silent. Had he finally gained some confidence?
Chen Shu returned to his room and indeed found the exit sealed by Qin Tian's Earth Element Spirit...
...
Time flew by, and it was already mid-August.
During this period, Chen Shu was indeed well-behaved and did not engage in any bandit activities.
"Chen Pi, the list for the semifinals is out!"
A Liang's voice sounded from outside, laced with excitement.
"Coming."
Chen Shu replied casually.
He was currently hunched over his desk, carefully pouring a black powder from a glass apparatus.
"Success!"
There was only a tiny amount of powder in the bottle, but it had been purified from a large quantity of laxatives.
With nothing else to do, he had spent this time purifying laxatives.
As his strength increased, the Bandit Brand Laxative was becoming a bit outdated, so he could only keep purifying it.
"Good heavens, if someone ate this, their head might just come out of their rear end..."
There was excitement in his eyes, as if he were admiring a work of art...
"Supreme Edition Bandit Laxative! Keep it safe."
Chen Shu summoned his Space Rabbit and instructed it to store it carefully, as it might be useful at a critical moment.
"Woo woo~~"
The Space Rabbit sniffed and immediately tried to swallow it in one gulp.
"What the heck, you want to become the Sprinter God?"
Chen Shu, with lightning reflexes, snatched the laxative away and forcibly placed it into the Space Rabbit's storage space.
He dusted himself off, stood up, and opened his room door.
"You're really going to fight that person from the Immortal Kingdom."
A Liang presented the match list, which clearly stated: Chen Shu vs. Sinclair!
"That's perfect then. Let's see just how peculiar this guy is."
Chen Shu shrugged, his eyes filled with confidence.
He then asked, "What about your opponents?"
"The Black Iron Group from Lan Country!"
Although Lan Country's Lin Han had already been eliminated by Chen Shu, the Black Iron Group members had still managed to reach the top four.
Chen Shu remarked, "That might be a tough fight."
He had fought Lin Han before, and although he had won, the opponent's strength was not weak.
And the Black Iron Group from Lan Country was also difficult to deal with.
"It's all the same for the top four. There are no weaklings anymore."
A Liang shook his head, stating that regardless of who they fought, the difficulty would be the same.
Just then, Qin Tian and Liu Feng also walked over, offering some encouragement to Chen Shu and the others.
The next morning, the semifinals of the World Championship officially began!
"Everyone, today is the semi-finals of the World Championship!"
The host arrived on the competition stage and said,
"After the previous three rounds of competition, the remaining contestants can be said to be geniuses among geniuses!"
"I believe the semi-finals will not disappoint the global audience!"
"Next, the competition officially begins!"
"Please welcome Andre from the Free Alliance and Andre from Snow Country!"
The contestants below applauded, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Even though they hadn't made it into the top four, they still hoped to witness spectacular matches.
After a short while, a man and a woman appeared on the competition stage.
Jona's appearance was as usual, with a confident glint in her eyes, as if the championship title was already hers.
And Snow Country's Andre was powerfully built, showing strong fighting spirit even when facing Jona.
"Please proceed to your combat positions!"
The two individuals walked to their respective combat platforms, preparing to begin the match.
"Chen Pi, how long do you think it will take Jona to win?"
A Liang asked, clearly confident in Jona's victory.
"It won't be that easy."
Chen Shu's expression was calm. "Andre's strength is not weak. If Jona underestimates him, it's not impossible for her to lose."
"You don't think so?"
A Liang replied, "Her Angel Contract Spirit, when fully unleashed, is a genuine Gold tier."
"Let's wait and see."
Chen Shu looked up at the competition stage, his eyes also filled with interest.
At this moment, both sides had summoned their respective contract spirits.
Jona still had two contract spirits of Light and Dark attributes, as well as an SSS-rank Angel wielding a golden longsword!
Andre's three contract spirits were all SS+ and exclusively of the Ice and Snow attribute.
Roar!
A massive Icefield Mammoth, a small blue tree radiating chilling aura, and a plump ice silkworm.
The ice silkworm lay on the tree crown, while the small tree stood on the mammoth's back, forming a trinity.
Boom boom—
Just then, the devices between the two sides were removed, and the battle officially commenced!
"Hah!"
The Angel let out a soft cry, flapped its wings, and transformed into a golden light, shooting forward.
Its gaze was extremely cold, and its longsword, carrying unparalleled might, suddenly slashed down!
Roar!
The Mammoth roared, and blue light permeated its body, revealing a layer of incredibly tough ice armor that also protected the other two contract spirits on its back.
Bang—
A crack appeared on the ice armor, but it did not fully shatter.
"Hm?"
Jona was slightly surprised, not expecting the opponent's defense to be so robust.
Just as her Angel prepared to unleash its skills, Andre was also not idle.
The ice silkworm on the tree crown trembled, releasing several skills in succession.
Various blue auras appeared, continuously integrating into the mammoth's ice armor.
The blue tree's body shivered, and snowflakes flew from its branches, all merging into the ice armor.
The surprisingly defensive Mammoth also roared, its ice armor continuously strengthening, even reaching a thickness of a meter.
In an instant, its defensive power had increased severalfold!
The Angel's entire body was enveloped in golden light, and the longsword slashed again, filled with sharpness!
Bang bang—
There was still a fierce collision, but the ice armor showed no cracks.
With the combination of the three contract spirits' skills, Andre's defense had also reached the Gold tier!
As the number one in Snow Country, how could he not have some tricks up his sleeve?
