Chapter 40 I hope you will never understand my efforts

Individual contracted spirits attacked continuously, but none achieved an A-grade, and even B-grade was rare.

Chen Shu, it's your turn. Fang Ke's eyes showed anticipation.

They had thought he was useless, but he was hiding his strength so deeply.

Chen Shu stepped forward and summoned his golden slime.

Among everyone's contracted spirits, the golden slime was unique. It was the only F-grade.

What a shame, considering his level five Beastmaster status.

Right, even a D-grade contracted spirit would likely have decent offensive capabilities.

The golden slime had low potential, with mediocre attributes across the board. Its only commendable trait was its vitality, but this advantage was useless in the exam.

Moreover, slimes were extremely slow to attack; in five seconds, it could probably only manage one strike.

Goo-gii! Goo-gii!

The golden slime bounced around, its large eyes filled with curiosity as it observed the surrounding contracted spirits.

Go! The Second High School's Yellow Flash!

The slime's eyes widened, feeling incredibly ferocious, but to others, it looked utterly adorable.

From afar, the slime bore a resemblance to the testing equipment, albeit much smaller.

Goo-gii!

The slime wiggled its rear and then charged forward.

Activating its level three charge skill, its speed suddenly surged, truly possessing a hint of the Yellow Flash's flair.

Is it going to ram into it? Everyone watched the golden slime with curiosity.

But when it was ten meters away from the yellow sphere, the slime suddenly leaped, its size instantly quadrupling.

Another active skill?!

The crowd exclaimed. The slime's speed had clearly increased due to a skill, and now its enlarged size was definitely another active skill.

Two combat skills already surpassed most students.

In reality, the slime's ability to leap was also derived from a skill: Violent Sit-Kill.

The four-meter-tall golden slime resembled a giant piece of excrement, its massive rear descending upon the yellow sphere.

Bang!

Both were yellow spheres, appearing almost indistinguishable, creating a somewhat comical scene.

Goo-gii! Goo-gii!

The golden slime strained its large eyes, its expression resembling constipation as it continuously pressed down on the yellow sphere.

Its master had commanded it to crush its own kind.

The yellow sphere developed a significant dent but ultimately did not collapse.

Let alone a level five Beastmaster, even a level nine Beastmaster couldn't have damaged it.

Goo-gii!

The yellow sphere suddenly rebounded, sending the golden slime flying towards the ceiling.

Quickly recall it! Director Liu immediately instructed.

He wasn't worried about the slime's safety but rather about the ceiling of the Beastmaster Hall being smashed.

The sheer weight of such a behemoth was evident.

Chen Shu willed it, recalling the golden slime. As long as it was within a certain range, he could recall his contracted spirit at any time, but summoning it again would take some time.

Attack Intensity: B!

Finally, a grade appeared on the monitor.

The other Beastmaster students were astonished.

Chen Shu, however, was not surprised. If the golden slime couldn't even achieve a B-grade attack intensity, it wouldn't have been able to severely injure Zheng Nan's Azure Feather Eagle.

As for A-grade, it was certainly out of reach.

Xu Xiaoyu was the only one in the entire grade who had achieved it. She was also the only level seven Beastmaster with an A-grade contracted spirit, her combat power far superior to the slime's.

B-grade! It's B-grade, another prospect for the senior high special training class?

Fang Ke clenched his fists slightly, excitement in his eyes.

Li Yuan had truly sent him a genius. In just one month, the person had grown to this extent.

No! It's highly likely Chen Shu was playing the fool all along.

Even if he didn't know the reason for his actions, he was Chen Shu!

Does he need a reason to do things?

If Fang Ke could figure that out, he'd need to see a doctor.

The students of Beastmaster Class Five had complex expressions as they looked at the slacker of their class.

Heavens, don't play like this!

Cough, cough. Chen Shu coughed, speaking earnestly, "No one in this world is a genius; only through continuous effort can one become strong."

Everyone was slightly taken aback: Is he trying to motivate us?

"Look at me. After a month of hard work, I've gone from a level one Beastmaster to a level five Beastmaster."

Chen Shu sighed deeply, "I hope you never understand my efforts."

The entire room was once again silenced.

Going from level one to level five Beastmaster in a month, did that sound like something a human would say?

All the Beastmaster students present had cultivated diligently for two years, yet most were stuck at the level three Beastmaster stage.

I'm getting the urge to beat him up.

I feel the same way. This guy is too much of a nuisance!

Even Xu Xiaoyu's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but want to summon her fire bird.

Director Liu quickly intervened, "Alright! Continue the exam, we must finish the Beastmaster subjects today!"

If a full-blown brawl were to erupt, the scene would be unimaginable.

At the same time, he gave Chen Shu a deep look. That F-grade slime had actually grasped two combat skills.

Did you save the Milky Way in your previous life?

The offensive test concluded quickly, and the speed test commenced.

Speed here didn't just refer to physical movement but also encompassed the speed of nerve reactions.

The yellow sphere in the testing area suddenly deformed, revealing a Gatling gun, its barrel slowly rotating, exuding an oppressive aura.

This is so high-tech!

Chen Shu was shocked. He had assumed this world's technology was similar to his previous one, given that household appliances were TVs and refrigerators.

But now it seemed there was a slight difference.

"The speed test begins now!" Director Liu announced.

The Gatling gun didn't fire actual bullets but rather rubber projectiles coated with dye. Even if the contracted spirits were hit, they wouldn't be injured.

The speed test primarily evaluated the contracted spirits' evasion and reaction speed.

Chen Shu's golden slime's performance once again stunned everyone.

Not because it was too strong, but because it was too poor.

Even the slowest contracted spirits would make a token effort to dodge.

But the golden slime simply fell asleep, catching the projectiles like raindrops without missing a single one.

In a sense, this was the opposite of a perfect score.

Speed Rating: F-grade!

As expected, Chen Shu secured the worst rating.

This was a relief to many, who thought the slime was a highly specialized contracted spirit.

With Chen Shu having already received two F ratings, his overall score would be significantly impacted, making entry into the special training class virtually impossible.

The speed test ended quickly, and the final assessment, testing the contracted spirits' defense, was about to begin.

Despite receiving an F rating, Chen Shu remained remarkably calm.

The defense assessment would determine his final grade, and besides, he still had his academic scores to boost his overall standing.
