"..."
Everyone's faces went blank. So this was the reason you hated them?
If the leaders of the three organizations knew this, they would probably spit blood on the spot...
Wang Jue seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, Principal, are the people from the Free Alliance really not going to cause trouble?"
"He's the one who should be worried now."
Qin Tian shook his head and said, "Because it involves the Sacred Beast Union, no one would say anything even if I killed five of his contracted spirits."
"If he dares to pester us, let Grandpa's contracted spirit make a trip."
His expression was calm, without a hint of worry.
Beast Tamers still had to abide by the rules, but as long as their strength reached a certain level, they would possess absolute authority.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried.
Just then, Chen Shu leaned over and said softly, "Principal, the injuries of your two contracted spirits..."
Liu Feng had already said that Qin Tian had downed two bottles of potions.
The side effects of things that boosted contracted spirits' strength were bound to be unimaginably severe.
He sighed silently, regretting that he hadn't used a teleportation potion earlier to directly leave the arena. That way, everyone wouldn't have worried.
But the time was too tight back then.
From the protection device shattering to the water surging in was only a moment.
He instinctively thought that the protective barrier around the arena also had spatial power to block it. If teleportation failed, he would truly be finished.
In the critical moment, Chen Shu could only choose to return to Little Yellow's mouth. Because it possessed [Ice Control], it was immune to water-attribute damage and could guarantee absolute safety.
At the same time, the Silver King's skills were formidable, and he didn't even dare to show his head. He could only wait for the organizers to intervene.
But he hadn't expected that his temporary disappearance would cause Qin Tian and the others to go berserk, even killing a King-level contracted spirit.
"It's not a big impact."
Qin Tian shook his head and smiled, "As long as you can win the championship, everything else is irrelevant."
His expression was relaxed, but the others remained silent.
Qin Tian and Duoli were both Kings. Although the former was slightly stronger, it was basically impossible to instantly kill one of the latter's contracted spirits. This showed how powerful the boost from those two potions was, which also meant its side effects would be terrifyingly large.
"No problem, the championship is mine!"
Chen Shu nodded confidently, and then turned back to prepare to buy some medicine to treat King-level contracted spirits.
"Alright, everyone go back to your rooms."
Qin Tian smiled and said, "Everyone can rest for a while. A Liang, your Iron group matches will also be postponed for a bit."
Now that the protective device of a battle stage had been destroyed by the merfolk, they dared not rashly start the matches.
Everyone nodded and entered the rooms.
But at this moment, Chen Shu was slightly stunned. He scanned everyone and said, "Where is Sister Fang Si?"
"Hmm?"
Everyone's expressions froze, and their minds went blank for a moment.
They looked around, and indeed, Fang Si was nowhere to be seen.
Wang Jue said uncertainly, "Sister Fang Si isn't celebrating, is she?"
"???"
Chen Shu turned to look at him. You really know how to talk!
"Old Wang, don't talk nonsense. Sister Fang Si wouldn't be that heartless."
A Liang leaned over and said, "Chen Shu, maybe she's just going to arrange a banquet for you?"
"Get lost!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He already wanted to kick them both.
He said with some worry, "Principal, ask the staff to look for her. I'm a bit worried the people from the Free Alliance might..."
"Fine."
Qin Tian nodded and said, "But don't worry, Origin Island is covered with technological equipment, so nothing will happen."
Even if Duoli held any hatred, he wouldn't dare to attack the contestants now. Otherwise, not only would he be executed, but the entire Free Alliance would be affected.
Just as Qin Tian was making a call, a panicked cry for help came from a distance.
"Help! There are terrorists on the island!"
A man's face was panicked, as if pursued by a great terror.
"Hmm? Isn't this Master Jie?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"It's you?!"
Jack's expression greatly changed. He quickly looked at Qin Tian at the very front.
"Principal Qin, save me! Your contestant has gone mad!"
Behind him, a girl with a cold expression was holding a blood-stained butcher knife in her right hand...
"..."
Everyone instantly held their breath, their eyes filled with shock.
"Fang Si!"
Qin Tian shouted urgently, not expecting her to be so fierce...
"Chen Pi is gone, what are you still alive for?!"
Fang Si ignored Qin Tian, her gaze fixed on Jack, and raised her butcher knife again...
"It's all Duoli's doing, why are you looking for me?!"
Jack's eyes were filled with terror. He had just come to watch a match, and now he was being chased with a knife.
Fang Si's expression was cold, and she said, "I'll find him later, I'm just sharpening my knife on you for now!"
"..."
Jack finally couldn't hold it in. Tears appeared in his eyes. What kind of karma did I create!
Just as he was stunned, he accidentally stumbled and fell to the ground.
"You're finished!"
Fang Si walked forward with the knife, decisively raising her butcher knife!
But at this moment, a familiar voice came,
"Sister..."
Chen Shu called out, not expecting Fang Si to directly attack someone with a knife...
"Hmm? Hmm?!"
Fang Si was slightly stunned, then her body trembled violently. Disbelief flickered in her eyes. She turned to look at the crowd and instantly locked onto Chen Shu's figure.
"You..."
In an instant, her eyes turned slightly red, but she immediately suppressed her emotions.
"Oh my god."
Jack also breathed a sigh of relief, muttering silently in his heart, "Thank you, bandit!" If you had appeared any later, he would probably have become another soul under the butcher knife...
"Alright, you can leave now."
Qin Tian looked at Jack and gave him a meaningful glance. Killing Duoli's contracted spirit before was a situation of emergency. But if Jack died now, it would be very difficult for them to handle.
Jack scrambled away, panicked, and left the scene.
"You're not dead?"
Fang Si's gaze was fixed on Chen Shu, and she slowly walked over.
"..."
Chen Shu, who had been smiling, suddenly froze. A inexplicable panic arose in his heart.
"Sister, how about we put the butcher knife away first..."
Fang Si's words, coupled with her right hand holding the knife, made Chen Shu feel as if she was here to finish him off...
