For geniuses of the same level, an A-rank contracted spirit might be considered ordinary, or even unimpressive.
However, Chen Shu's contracted spirits had all evolved step by step.
Four years ago, his Little Yellow was just an F-rank contracted spirit, but now it was on the verge of evolving to A-rank, a significant leap.
"Come on!"
Chen Shu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and muttered, "I'm not asking for an evolution that skips ranks, but at least give me some monstrous skills and talents…"
The next second, he used the opportunity for bloodline evolution provided by the system!
"Goojee~~~"
For a moment, the slime's adorably round eyes closed, and golden light emanated from its body, making it seem more like a light-elemental contracted spirit than a physical one.
Time gradually passed.
The golden light on Little Yellow's body grew increasingly dazzling, almost blinding.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's expression flickered. Could there be another unexpected change?
"Goojee! Goojee!"
Just then, Little Yellow opened its eyes, its gaze filled with brilliant golden light, and its aura became extraordinary.
Boom!
The next second, Little Yellow unleashed its giant form and shot into the sky!
With its formidable physique, it forcefully shattered the ceiling of the Beast Taming Hall and surged towards the campus.
"Holy crap! Is it acting up again?!"
Chen Shu's eyes widened as he looked at the broken ceiling above, his mind reeling.
"Not good! Something big is about to happen!"
Chen Shu's expression changed drastically. He quickly summoned his Spatial Rabbit and, using his [Spatial Secret Power], his body instantly vanished.
Meanwhile,
Above the academy, a colossal yellow sphere hovered.
Its body was enveloped in a brilliant golden light, making it impossible to look directly at.
However, the slime was currently entangled by countless green vines, unable to move at all.
"What the heck is going on?!"
The students below gazed upwards, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Chen Shu's contracted spirit was naturally known to everyone; it was the only "poop monster" in the world!
But many also recognized the green vines as Qin Tian's contracted spirit, and a speculation immediately formed in everyone's minds.
Had the Nanjiang Bandit started fighting with the Principal…
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu teleported to the top of Little Yellow. Upon seeing the surrounding vines, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness the Principal had appeared in time!
"Chen Pi, are you going insane again?!"
Qin Tian approached Chen Shu and said, "Didn't we just agree you wouldn't cause trouble? And you're already having a 'special situation' so soon?"
Fortunately, he had been cautious and had been monitoring the entire campus with his contracted spirit…
"Uh…"
Chen Shu scratched his head and said, "Principal, it really is a special situation. My contracted spirit is a bit out of control…"
He hadn't expected something like this to happen either. He thought that DuoHa's episode back then was just an isolated incident…
Could contracted spirits experience such things when evolving to A-rank bloodline?
"Out of control?"
Qin Tian furrowed his brow and looked directly into Little Yellow's eyes. He believed him to some extent.
"Goojee!"
Little Yellow's body trembled, and its aura surged, but it still couldn't break free from the constraints of a King-rank contracted spirit.
"Hmm? Its bloodline rank…"
Qin Tian's gaze was sharp, and he immediately detected something amiss. He exclaimed, "Is this thing evolving?!"
Chen Shu's eyes widened, and he said with equal shock, "Uh… is it evolving? Oh my god! No way?"
"…"
Qin Tian's lips twitched. "Can you stop acting so deliberately?"
"Deliberately? I think it's pretty natural…"
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "I honestly don't understand."
"Cut the crap!"
Qin Tian pouted and said, "Let's head back to the Beast Taming Hall first!"
With a thought, he commanded his contracted spirit to forcibly take Little Yellow down.
Little Yellow's combat power was immense, but against a King-rank, it was still somewhat lacking.
Before long, the two of them left the academy's airspace and returned to the Beast Taming Hall, leaving behind a crowd of people buzzing with discussion.
"What exactly is going on with you?!"
Qin Tian asked, his mind utterly bewildered.
After only a day, his contracted spirit had evolved directly?
"It just evolved like this…"
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "My contracted spirit is like this. It does these things without warning. I really can't help it."
"Stop messing around!"
Qin Tian frowned. Although he had witnessed it, his eyes were still filled with surprise.
Evolving out of the blue, even legendary contracted spirits wouldn't dare to do something like this.
"Let's see the result first."
Qin Tian didn't press further. He knew Chen Shu had his secrets, but as the Principal, he only needed to ensure his students could grow. He didn't need to know the specifics.
"Goojee! Goojee!"
Little Yellow's eyes shone with brilliant light, but it could only be confined in place, unable to move.
The two waited idly. Once Little Yellow's abnormality ceased, it would signify the completion of its bloodline evolution.
Just then, Chen Shu asked, "Principal, your contracted spirit…"
Qin Tian's green vines had lost their crystalline sheen and were now dull, showing no signs of improvement.
This was likely a side effect of consuming that bottle of red potion back then.
Clearly, the side effects of that potion were entirely different from those of the berserk potion; after all, it was human-made, not system-produced.
"It's nothing serious…"
Qin Tian shook his head and said, "When the economic situation improves, I'll apply for a recovery potion from higher up."
Although the beast incident had ended, it had still caused economic losses.
Moreover, the government needed to reward the Beast Tamers who had contributed during the event, and resources were somewhat tight, not to mention the potion Qin Tian needed wasn't cheap.
"Mmm."
Chen Shu nodded, his eyes thoughtful.
Time gradually passed. He had expected it to take several days, as DuoHa's episode had taken that long.
But to his surprise, by evening, the golden light on the slime had dimmed.
"Received Evolution Boost: Defense +5%!"
Evidently, similar to DuoHa's previous episode, the bloodline evolution had brought an unexpected pleasant surprise.
"Huh? It's done?"
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow and said, "Quick, open its status panel."
"Okay!"
Chen Shu nodded and quickly opened the slime's information panel.
