"So fast?"
Chen Shu was also stunned, looking at the lingering golden light in the sky with a hint of surprise.
This bird… was even faster!
"Fine, I'll go back and prepare the medicine too."
Chen Shu shook his head, looking at the remnants of various barbecued items on the table, and murmured to himself:
"A Liang, I'll pay for today's bill, as a memorial for you."
...
Time flew by,
Soon, it was the day the training camp was to open. San Feng 11
During this period, Chen Shu had been at home preparing medicine, occasionally meeting up with Xiao Xing and Old Wang. He hadn't caused any more trouble.
Early in the morning,
The three of them, Chen Shu, Xiao Xing, and Old Wang, gathered at the entrance of the residential area.
Xiao Xing asked, "Chen Shu, are we leaving?"
"Waiting for someone."
Chen Shu waved his hand, as if sensing something. He turned his head and said, "They're here!"
Fang Si, looking valiant and heroic, trotted over to the three of them.
Clearly, Fang Si would also be participating in the training camp.
"Sister Fang Si."
Xiao Xing and Old Wang's bodies trembled as they looked at Fang Si, sensing that her aura was even stronger than A Liang's.
"Huh? Why are there only two of you?"
Fang Si was slightly taken aback. She remembered that they were a trio.
Xiao Xing sighed and said, "Don't mention it. Some people just disappear while we're talking…"
"…"
Fang Si's expression froze. What kind of way was that to put it?
"Disappeared? Could it be that he's missing? But don't worry too much. Perhaps he just died suddenly."
"?"
Xiao Xing and Old Wang both looked at Fang Si. You certainly know how to talk…
However, thinking that she grew up with Chen Shu, they felt a sense of understanding. After all, birds of a feather flock together.
"Sudden death is unlikely."
Chen Shu explained from the side:
"This kid was always looking for shortcuts, even daring to eye the training camp's resources. I tried to dissuade him, but it was no use. Alas… I really did my best."
"You dissuaded him?"
Fang Si's gaze was peculiar. She now understood why A Liang had been taken away…
Chen Shu smiled and shook his head, "Alright, let's go. A Liang will likely still participate in the training camp."
For a moment, the four of them stood frozen in place, all waiting for something…
The atmosphere gradually grew a bit quiet.
"What are you guys waiting for?"
Chen Shu looked at the three of them and broke the silence first.
Old Wang's mouth parted slightly and he said, "Brother, what are you waiting for? Teleportation!"
"No teleportation today, we'll take Xiao Xing's Thunder Bird!"
"?"
The three of them looked confused. No matter how fast the Thunder Bird was, it couldn't compare to teleportation. Wasn't this pure self-inflicted suffering?
"I'm used to teleporting all the time. Today, I want to experience the feeling of flying."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "We have plenty of time, don't worry."
"You've flown enough and now you want to experience walking?"
Xiao Xing shook his head and summoned the mutated Thunder Bird.
Now, the golden light on the Thunder Bird was even more dazzling, and the Ying Long bloodline within it was gradually being stimulated. It was a whole lot stronger than before.
The four of them got on the Thunder Bird's back and instantly ascended into the sky, heading straight for the [Skyfire Desert].
...
Half an hour later,
The four of them were flying high in the sky, occasionally seeing various contract spirits.
With the change in official policy, modern means of transportation had gradually been replaced by contract spirits. As long as the contract spirits were qualified and registered, they could fly in the sky or run on the ground.
A Black Iron-ranked Iron Blood Bird was flying in the sky, carrying over ten passengers to the capital.
Just as the passengers were discussing amongst themselves,
A golden light suddenly zipped past them, instinctively making them shiver.
The passengers' bodies trembled, thinking they had encountered some danger, as beast taming transportation was a new industry and not entirely safe.
"Everyone, please do not panic."
The leading beast tamer soothed the Iron Blood Bird and then exclaimed in amazement:
"That was the world's fastest Silver-ranked contract spirit, also ranked fifth on the flight rankings."
"That monstrous Thunder Bird?!"
The passengers' bodies trembled, their eyes filled with surprise. They quickly looked towards the sky, but could only see a streak of golden light.
The A Liang trio had already gained considerable fame, and as the team's signature Thunder Bird, it was naturally well-known.
The public had specifically created various rankings, including a flight ranking, which primarily ranked by flying speed.
Most of the individuals on the rankings were Gold-ranked beast tamers, with Xiao Xing being the only Silver-ranked anomaly.
Moreover, it was predicted that if the mutated Thunder Bird evolved to its peak, it could even rival space-element contract spirits.
Over time, its name was no longer Mutated Thunder Bird, but Monstrous Thunder Bird…
"Xiao Xing, your contract spirit is quite famous."
Chen Shu stroked the Thunder Bird, also noticing the gazes of the passing beast tamers.
"It's alright."
Xiao Xing said modestly, but his eyes held a hint of pride.
Who would have thought that he would continue down the path he had chosen back then…
To maintain its purity, the Thunder Bird had not learned any offensive skills, and all its skills were for evasion…
If the Ying Long, the king of the skies, knew that its bloodline had been inherited by such a peculiar creature, what would it think…
Soon, the four of them surged into the northwestern region, arriving at their destination:
[Skyfire Desert]
At the Spiritual Suppression Army's outpost, nearly a hundred people had already gathered, silently waiting for something.
Clearly, Chen Shu and his group were the last to arrive…
"So hot?"
Chen Shu squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.
The sky was filled with fiery red clouds, and there was no sun, yet the temperature here was terrifyingly high.
If an ordinary person came here, they would likely die from the heat within two minutes.
"Fang Si, Xu Xingxing, Wang Jue, report to your positions!"
Liu Feng glanced at the four of them and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately stiffened and entered the formation obediently.
Chen Shu whistled, looking at the well-behaved students, and felt a surge of comfort.
Liu Feng gave him a helpless look and then said,
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin."
Instantly, the hundred students straightened their bodies, their gazes collectively fixed on Chen Shu, filled with eager anticipation.
"…"
Chen Shu instinctively took a step back, his eyes filled with wariness and confusion.
What was with that look?
"Buddy, what's going on?"
Chen Shu looked at the King-ranked beast tamer beside him and asked,
"It's understandable for the guys to look at me like this, but why are the girls looking at me like this too?"
"???"
