"???"
The old man stared at him strangely and said, "Can you speak like a human, kid?"
It had only been a few days, and he wanted to leap across a major realm. Did he not consider himself human, or other beast tamers?
"..."
Chen Shu said with a serious face, "I really..."
"Alright, go back,"
The old man shook his head and said, "You've just broken through to Golden Three-star, don't be too impetuous. Also, if you don't speak like a human again, I'll hit you."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Did he have to be so direct?
He felt helpless in his heart, cupped his fists, and turned to leave Long Yuan.
"This brat..."
The old man shook his head. It was the first time he had ever met someone so outrageous.
...
Chen Shu and Dali arrived at the Long Jiang River but did not rush back to Nanjiang City.
"Dali, I'm going to the capital. Do you want me to take you home?"
"No need. I was planning to go to the capital anyway."
"You're going to the capital?"
"Mm, to visit my mentor and my senior sister..."
"Your senior sister, your senior sister..."
Chen Shu repeated in a strange tone, rolling his eyes at the same time.
Dali glared at him and said, "That's pure jealousy!"
"..."
Chen Shu curled his lips and, with a blink of an eye, brought Dali to the capital.
Now that the Spatial Rabbit's attributes had surged again, even without consuming the Berserk Potion, the number of spatial marks had reached over a thousand. It could be considered a god-tier skill for travel.
"I'm leaving now."
Dali waved his hand and strode into the Capital Spirit Chef University.
Chen Shu shook his head and, with another blink of an eye, appeared at Huaxia University.
The university was as it always was,
But the students had been replaced by batches and batches.
Chen Shu walked along the small paths of the university, heading straight for Liu Feng's office building.
Many students along the way saw Chen Shu and their expressions froze, but by the time they reacted, Chen Shu had already gone far.
As the world's number one prodigy, and having recently killed a Beast Emperor, which had shocked the globe, his fame was imaginable.
In an instant, the news of Chen Shu's return to school spread throughout the university.
"This is it, right..."
Chen Shu looked up at the three-story building in front of him, feeling a bit nostalgic.
The first time everyone had a gathering, it was on the rooftop of the small building, but who knew it was Liu Feng's office.
It was also then that Chen Shu was forced to agree to Liu Feng's request to participate in the Beast Taming World Competition, eventually growing all the way and making a name for himself globally!
"Old Liu! Is Old Liu there?!"
Chen Shu shouted at the top of his lungs, a smile on his face.
In an instant, the students passing by looked over, their eyes showing a hint of curiosity.
After all, Liu Feng was the Vice Principal of the university, and he was known to be strict and hot-tempered, possessing even more deterrence than Qin Tian. Yet, someone dared to address him like that?
But when they recognized Chen Shu, the students were relieved.
If it was the Nanjiang Bandit, then everything made sense.
"Hurry in!"
Liu Feng strode out, glaring at Chen Shu. Couldn't you show some respect to your teacher?
Chen Shu then trotted into the office building.
"Huh? Old Qin, you're here too?"
He looked at Qin Tian in the office and was a little surprised.
"..."
Qin Tian smiled and shook his head. He didn't mind Chen Shu's address, especially since this guy had just killed a Beast Emperor.
If they really had to fight, neither of them was confident they could handle Chen Shu.
"We were discussing something, and you've arrived at a good time."
Qin Tian said, "The matter of the training camp, has the old man told you about it?"
"He told me, he told me."
Chen Shu nodded and, making himself at home, sat on the sofa.
"The old man hired me as an instructor and said he would give me hundreds of billions in resources as salary every month..."
"Wait! Wait!"
Qin Tian and Liu Feng's eyes were strange. Could this guy just make things up so casually?
"What's wrong?"
Chen Shu asked in confusion.
"Hundreds of billions? Are you dreaming?"
Qin Tian glared at him and said, "You should just go somewhere cool and stay there."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched and he said, "No, as the third strongest person in humanity, isn't this price not too high?"
"Third? Is that another one of your family's rankings?"
"I have data to support it!"
Chen Shu said righteously, "Right now, the strongest in all of humanity is naturally the old man. Second is Old Joe, the legend from the Free Alliance. Third is me."
"No, you, a Golden-tier, are on the same level as two legends?"
"Right now, we are the only three in all of humanity who have killed Beast Emperor-level creatures. If I'm not the third strongest, then who are you?"
"..."
Qin Tian and Liu Feng fell silent instantly. It seemed to make some sense.
Liu Feng asked with doubt, "Did you kill it with your own strength?"
"Uh... yes."
"Looking at the celestial phenomena back then, you kid must have thrown hundreds of bottles of potions, right? Your 'technology and ruthless methods' are quite outrageous."
"..."
Chen Shu said matter-of-factly, "The potions were personally brewed by me. If I throw potions, isn't that also my own strength?"
"..."
The two fell silent again. Being able to brew potions useful for legends was indeed a skill.
"Chen Pi, that potion..."
Liu Feng rubbed his hands and said, "Can you get your teacher a thousand or eight hundred bottles too?"
"?"
Chen Shu glanced at him indifferently and said, "Teacher, you really dare to dream big..."
"Alright, let's stop joking."
Liu Feng shook his head, understanding the priceless value of such potions, and changed the subject.
"There's a training camp meeting happening soon, so you should come along."
"Okay," Chen Shu nodded.
"Let's have dinner tonight and you can tell us about your experiences."
Liu Feng's eyes showed a hint of anticipation. He clearly wanted to know the whole story.
After all, a Golden-tier killing a legend was too unbelievable!
...
While everything was calm within Huaxia, the global situation also saw changes.
The ferocious beasts had now wiped out humanity's first major country.
Logically, they should have advanced unchecked and continued their attacks on other human forces.
But to everyone's surprise, the beast offensive suddenly slowed down.
Although the ferocious beasts still surrounded all human forces except China,
The number of high-level ferocious beasts had retreated significantly.
And more importantly, the Canghai Shark Emperor had disappeared, not appearing on Blue Star.
The Beast Emperors in the alien dimension were also gone, as if they had vanished without a trace.
However, humanity did not dare to be careless and maintained strict defenses.
But everyone breathed a silent sigh of relief. At least the current offensive pressure had eased, allowing them to recuperate slightly.
...
In the principal's conference room of Huaxia University,
Seven or eight people were already seated inside. Except for Chen Shu, everyone else possessed King-level strength.
Among them were official personnel, as well as experts from beast taming families and civilian beast taming groups. They were the instructors for the training camp.
As a Golden Three-star, Chen Shu was an anomaly. However, no one objected, and they even frequently showed him respect!
"Alright, since everyone is here, I'll briefly explain."
Liu Feng stood up and said, "First, on behalf of the officials, I thank everyone for agreeing to be instructors and cultivate the younger generation of prodigies."
"I'll start by telling everyone what they want to know, regarding the instructor rewards."
At this, everyone's gaze turned towards him.
"After the training camp concludes, the officials will award resources ranging from fifty to two hundred billion, based on the performance of each instructor!"
Upon hearing this, many nodded. Even for King-tiers, this was a considerable amount of resources.
Chen Shu, however, remained unfazed. He had already snatched up resources worth hundreds of billions, so he naturally didn't care much about a mere ten billion.
But the reason he was willing to be an instructor was that
Fang Si, A Liang, and other acquaintances were actually students in the training camp.
This piqued Chen Shu's interest.
The thought of him appearing as an instructor made him a little excited.
