Dolly opened his mouth to defend himself, "I just don't want the device on the arena to be damaged!"
"Give it a rest."
Qin Tian shrugged and said, "You don't need to explain to me!"
He turned and prepared to leave. As if remembering something, he added,
"Also, if there's a next time, I'll kill more than just your contracted spirit!"
"..."
Hatred flickered in Dolly's eyes, but he dared not make a move. He was no match for Qin Tian anymore.
Just then, he seemed to recall something and sneered, "Those two bottles of potions, the side effects aren't pleasant, are they?"
Qin Tian's steps faltered as soon as he heard this. He turned back and smiled, "That's still better than dying."
"You?!"
Dolly clenched his fists, his anger barely contained.
"Dolly!"
Bu Lin shouted, her eyes carrying a warning. You can't beat him, and you can't curse him, so you just have to accept it...
The group left the arena. Due to this unexpected incident, the finals had to be temporarily postponed.
"Principal, what exactly happened?"
Chen Shu, the person involved, was still a bit bewildered. He said, "You guys weren't hungry, and decided to gather resources on the spot, and that's how you killed that contracted spirit, right?"
"???"
Qin Tian and the others twitched their mouths. Did they really think everyone was as crazy as him?
Liu Feng, sitting in his wheelchair, spoke up, "The situation is like this..."
After a while, Chen Shu remained silent, merely gazing at the group before him. He hadn't expected that because of him, Qin Tian and the others had all gone berserk, even killing a King-tier contracted spirit on the spot.
"Chen Shu, the atmosphere is already like this..." Wang Jue grinned and said, "How about you kowtow to everyone..."
"???"
Chen Shu's expression was odd. Was this guy dreaming? He didn't say anything, but took a deep breath, a strange look in his eyes.
"Principal, I want to ask a question."
"Ask away."
Qin Tian nodded, a premonition dawning on him. Chen Shu spoke seriously,
"Are you all doing this... to get my nuclear bomb formula?"
"???"
Everyone turned to look at him, their eyes filled with confusion. They were caught completely off guard. Qin Tian's expression was peculiar. He had expected the other party to ask why they did what they did, and then he could lecture them a bit. But Chen Shu wasn't playing by the usual rules.
"If you really want it, just join my Fiend Squad, and nuclear bombs will be no problem!"
*Slap!*
Qin Tian directly rapped him on the head and said, "If you mention nuclear bombs again, I'll bury you right here!"
"Then it must be for my urea bag formula!"
"Old Liu, take care of this guy for me!"
*Boom boom—*
Liu Feng's hands moved like blurs, his speed accelerating to 180 mph as he charged towards Chen Shu.
"We can't let this guy run today!"
The others also rushed forward, intending to catch and beat up Chen Shu.
"Damn it, I was wrong!"
Chen Shu dashed forward, but a deep sense of gratitude filled his eyes. He glanced back at everyone, memorizing their faces...
...
The group, accompanied by laughter and chatter, returned to their accommodation in China.
Chen Shu asked, "Principal, I left the protective device. I wasn't disqualified from the competition, right?" If he couldn't participate in the finals because of this, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"It was a special circumstance, so naturally not. If they dare to disqualify you, then the World Championship would be pointless." Qin Tian said calmly, "It's just that the finals might be postponed for a while."
Chen Shu nodded, relieved. As long as he could participate in the finals, other issues weren't a big deal. Then, as if recalling something, he asked, "By the way, Principal, why can Sinclair form a contract with a ferocious beast?" If that were true, he could directly contract a Monarch and rule the other dimensions.
"Stop thinking nonsense." Qin Tian seemed to have read his mind and smiled, "You think it's your partner, but it's actually a killer that can end your life at any moment!"
"Humans and ferocious beasts can never coexist peacefully!" History had already proven that attempting to control a ferocious beast was akin to handing over your life. No one would do that.
"Then Sinclair..."
"He's no longer human!" Qin Tian's eyes held a flicker of killing intent as he said, "Currently, the only humans worldwide who associate with ferocious beasts are those in the Sacred Imperial Society. They have even assisted ferocious beasts in attacking human territories in the past."
"..."
Chen Shu fell silent, recalling the members of the Sacred Imperial Society he had encountered during the national competition. No wonder Sinclair harbored hostility towards him; it was because of that bloodline bead.
"It's just a bead, isn't it? Was it worth sending a Silver Monarch for?" Chen Shu shrugged, a hint of complaint in his eyes.
"Do you think bloodline beads are like Chinese cabbage?" Qin Tian glared at him, clearly already aware of the matter.
"However, it wasn't entirely for you. The main reason is the spatial divine skill offered as the championship reward!"
"My South River Fiends aren't as important as a divine skill?" Chen Shu's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. "It seems I need to do something drastic to the Sacred Imperial Society next time!"
*Bang!*
Qin Tian smacked the top of his head. "You need to be careful, kid. The world's three great criminal organizations are all targeting you now."
Ah Liang asked from the side, "Three great organizations?"
"That's right. Due to the spiritual energy resurgence, too many people want to break free from the law and have become international criminals. However, only three organizations possess the strongest power." Qin Tian nodded and looked at everyone, saying, "Your talent is top-notch, and you will face them sooner or later, so consider this an early briefing."
The others looked on with curiosity. Unlike the Fiends, they had long ago dealt with these three organizations, even forming deep-seated grudges. Most beast tamers hadn't even heard of the names of these organizations.
Qin Tian cleared his throat and said, "First, the first organization is called Dark Night, the world's number one assassin organization. They have assassinated prominent figures in various countries, and even some King-tier existences have fallen."
"The second organization is the Salvation Church, whose goal is to cause global chaos and war between nations."
"The third criminal organization is the most low-key, known as the Sacred Imperial Society. However, its members collude with ferocious beasts, making them a thorn in humanity's side."
Everyone nodded, memorizing the names of the three organizations.
"They are finished!" Chen Shu declared righteously. "I will level these three organizations sooner or later!"
"???"
Qin Tian and the others turned to look at him. Was that something a Fiend should say? Chen Shu then muttered to himself, "They've actually stolen the spotlight from my Fiend Squad, they truly deserve to die!"
