"Isn't this a bit too harsh..."
Liu Feng looked at the expressions of the trainees and felt that he might have gone a bit too far. He had intended to correct the trainees' arrogance, but now, one by one, their Dao hearts had collapsed...
"If I had known, I would have gone myself..."
Liu Feng stroked his chin, considering whether to ask the officials to arrange a psychological master to help adjust the trainees' mindsets...
Just then, a determined voice rang out,
"Next battle, I'll go!"
Everyone looked over, their dejected eyes showing a flicker of anticipation. It was the Golden Beast Tamer, Long Yu!
Long Yu, wearing a black vest, stepped forward with confidence in his eyes. He then summoned his four contracted spirits!
"Roar!"
The black dragon crocodile at the forefront prostrated itself. Its scales shimmered with a deep metallic luster, and its aura surged to its peak!
"My Heavenly Armored Crocolisk, its innate skill can greatly reduce elemental damage!"
"I'm confident in this battle!"
Long Yu's expression was calm, and he looked at Erha without the slightest fear. He knew he couldn't defeat Chen Shu, but with the attribute advantage, delaying for two minutes seemed achievable.
"Let's begin."
Chen Shu remained unfazed and gave Erha instructions.
"Awoooo!"
A fireball shot out, incredibly fast, instantly arriving before the opponent! The Heavenly Armored Crocolisk stepped forward, its massive tail whipping with a sonic boom. It intended to block the incoming fireball by itself!
Boom boom boom!
The crocodile's giant tail collided with the fireball, erupting in a deafening roar. In an instant, the crocodile's scales were enveloped in a deep, dark light, its damage reduction for elemental skills skyrocketing!
"Elemental skills in front of it..."
Long Yu's smile vanished, replaced by shock.
Boom!
The Heavenly Armored Crocolisk's scales instantly shattered, blood flowing profusely. It curled up into a ball, trembling.
"How could this be?!"
Long Yu's pupils contracted, unable to believe what he was seeing. In the next moment, Erha unleashed several ice balls, incapacitating all four of his contracted spirits.
"Lost just like that..."
Everyone present murmured, their minds a little stunned. Both were Golden rank, and although there was a difference of two minor levels, the gap was simply too vast.
"Next."
Chen Shu shook his head, showing no surprise. The opponent's crocodile was indeed good at countering elemental skills, but they were not on the same level, and the supposed countering effect was more like a joke.
"..."
Long Yu took a deep breath, his face filled with dejection, and returned to the crowd unwillingly.
"Brother Long, try to look at it positively," a young man beside Long Yu comforted him. "At least you forced out Erha's second skill."
"..."
Long Yu fell silent. Was this really comforting him... His goal was to last two minutes, complete the challenge, and even fantasize about landing a few blows on Chen Shu to shock everyone! But in the end... forcing out the opponent's second skill was considered success...
With Long Yu's defeat, the trainees fell silent again, with no one stepping forward for a long time. Even the Golden rank Long Yu only lasted two seconds, making their participation seem rather pointless...
Some cast their gazes towards Fang Si and A Liang, who were considered the strongest of this batch and had the highest chance of passing the challenge. However, both ignored the gazes, silently grumbling in their hearts, "Are you kidding me?! This is just asking to be humiliated..."
After a long pause, the surroundings remained silent, with no more trainees stepping forward to challenge. Lotteries still offered a sliver of a chance, but this challenge was clearly impossible.
"Then this challenge is over."
Liu Feng showed no surprise. He looked at the dejected faces and comforted them, saying, "Everyone, you don't need to mind it too much. Chen Shu shouldn't be treated as a normal person."
"..."
Chen Shu turned to look, thinking, "Are you badmouthing me here?"
Just then, a trainee raised his hand, indicating he had something to say.
"This trainee, please speak."
"Teacher, we want to ask," the trainee said with confusion, "If Teacher Chen fought against a King-rank Beast Tamer, what would be the odds?"
Upon hearing this, the others looked on with curiosity towards the other instructors, clearly wanting to get an answer to this question. If Chen Shu fought the other instructors, it would be enough to settle it. They also wanted to see if Chen Shu was truly invincible...
For a moment, the nine instructors froze, then exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation in their eyes. In fact, based on Chen Shu's performance, they also couldn't fathom his strength.
"Since the trainees want to see, shall we give it a try?"
Chen Shu smiled, feeling a hint of interest. He scanned the nine instructors and summoned all his contracted spirits.
Chen Shu licked his lips and said with fighting spirit, "Who among you will go?"
"We..."
Just as Liu Feng was about to speak, he heard synchronized footsteps approaching. He glanced to the side and his face instantly turned grim. The other eight instructors all took a step back, making Liu Feng stand out conspicuously. Their intentions were clear... Since Chen Shu was his student, Liu Feng was naturally the one to face him.
Liu Feng found himself in a difficult position, facing the expectant gazes of the others.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself, "Teacher Liu, shall we begin then?"
As soon as he spoke, Little Huang's eyes moved, and its body suddenly expanded, instantly reaching nearly nine hundred meters in size, like a colossal mountain!
"Gugu! Gugu!"
Little Huang's eyes were adorably blank, looking down at Liu Feng below, waiting for his contracted spirit to appear.
"It's just too big..."
The trainees' gazes were filled with astonishment as they looked up at the colossal creature, feeling that their own contracted spirits were like a joke...
Someone spoke, "Who said only that Erha has combat power?"
"This is just playing people for fools..."
The crowd was horrified and simultaneously felt fortunate: Fortunately, Chen Shu didn't let this giant round ball participate, otherwise, today's challenge would not have ended without casualties...
"Teacher Liu, it's your turn."
Chen Shu looked at Liu Feng, appearing eager to fight. Upon hearing this, the other trainees looked towards Liu Feng, their hearts filled with anticipation for this battle! Would someone of Golden rank truly beat a King rank? Of course, that was assuming Chen Shu didn't use any special supplements... With the public disclosure of the miracle potion, everyone understood the reason behind Chen Shu's previous victories against King ranks. However, today was a spar, and no supplements could be used; they could only rely on their own strength.
Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Liu Feng pouted and said, "He is a student personally trained by me, Liu Feng. Any blow struck against him is a pain in my heart!"
"..."
"Everyone, get ready, the intensive training is about to begin!"
"..."
