“What do you mean?”
Liu Feng asked, puzzled.
“It’s just a bit strange, I can’t quite put my finger on it,” Chen Shu shrugged and said, “Maybe I’ll only see what’s wrong when I fight him.”
Actually, it wasn’t that he could see it, but rather he was hoping the system would trigger some options…
Just then, the advantage of the Snow Country prodigy on the stage had become quite apparent.
Finally, after a series of skills, the number one from the Immortal Kingdom successfully secured the victory.
With this, the top four of the Silver group were all national champions from the four major countries.
Lin Han, originally from the Lan Kingdom, had been a dark horse, but unfortunately, he met Chen Shu early. Otherwise, he might have really made it into the top four.
“There’s still some time before the semi-finals, you can all have a good rest,” Qin Tian looked at Chen Shu and the others and said, “No need to train further, just adjust your state.”
“Understood, Principal.”
A Liang and the others nodded, their hearts filled with a bit of excitement. They were only two matches away from becoming world champions!
Qin Tian then said, “Chen Pi, you’d better stay put in your room. Don’t go to any other locations on the island.”
“Why?”
“For love and justice!”
“…”
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched. What did that have to do with him! He drooped his head, preparing to go back and brood for a while.
Just then, a man in a tailcoat walked over elegantly, a strange smile on his lips. It was the recently victorious contestant from the Immortal Kingdom. He sized up Chen Shu and said in fluent Chinese, “You are Chen Shu, right?”
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and replied, “Hm? I’m your uncle, what’s up?”
“???”
The man was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit uncomfortable, as if he had been taken advantage of.
“I hope to meet you in the semi-finals!” he said with a slight smile, “The finals are a battle between me and Jona. Although it’s a bit rude, I still have to say it.”
“You… are redundant!”
“???”
Everyone’s eyes widened, instinctively taking a step back. Were you not afraid of the urea bag at all?
The onlookers also turned their heads, not expecting two top prodigies to engage in a pre-emptive offline solo match. This was even more exciting than beast taming battles!
The eyes of the others filled with anticipation. Compared to Chen Shu’s superb combat skills, his urea bag was clearly more of a spectacle!
“What is it?”
The man, seeing everyone’s actions, also realized something. A smile played on his lips, “Not everyone is afraid of you!”
With that, he calmly took out a hat and said, “After my research during this period, I solemnly declare that your urea bag… is scrap!”
Instantly, he pressed a switch, and flames erupted from the hat.
“Ah, this…”
Everyone’s mouths hung open. This was a scene they hadn’t anticipated. Liu Feng on the side twitched his mouth and said, “What kind of mad inventor is this?”
“Hm?”
Chen Shu was slightly stunned, feeling that the hat seemed familiar. “Do you know Shen Wushuang?” He remembered Shen Wushuang had invented an anti-urea hat before, but it didn’t have flames, but rather sharp iron spikes.
The man from the Immortal Kingdom looked confused and said, “What Shen Wushuang?”
“A coincidence?” Chen Shu shook his head and muttered to himself, “The ancients truly didn’t deceive me. Where there is a Crouching Dragon, there must be a Phoenix Fledgling.”
The man, wearing the flaming hat, calmly leaned over and whispered, “Remember my name, Sinclair! Also known as, the Bandit Buster!”
“Hm?”
Chen Shu felt no anger but rather contemplation in his heart. He could sense a strange hostility from the other party. Perhaps it had been hidden before, but now that the semi-finals were about to begin, the opponent seemed unable to hold back.
“Alright!”
Just then, Brin from the Immortal Kingdom walked over and forcibly stopped Sinclair. Wasn’t this just giving oneself away for free?
Sinclair smiled slightly and said, “My Lord Brin, it’s fine!”
“A person must always pay for their mistakes.” He patted Chen Shu on the shoulder, his eyes filled with a meaningful look.
“Did I dig up your ancestral grave?” Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and asked, “Also, do you really think your hat is invincible?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a black bag opening was directly thrown over, the movement smooth and natural. Sinclair didn’t dodge but assumed a defensive posture. He had practiced combat skills, and as long as he wasn’t covered, he wasn’t afraid of Chen Shu’s physical prowess.
However, the bag was thrown violently, and the flames did not burn through it but were directly extinguished.
“Holy… *cough*… What the heck?!” Sinclair panicked, the smell of urea from his nostrils making his head feel a bit groggy.
Bang!
Liu Feng on the side, to prevent Chen Shu from beating up another contestant, directly rammed into him with his wheelchair.
“Ah~~~”
Sinclair was sent flying instantly, falling to the ground in a sorry state, his arrogance completely gone.
“Chen Shu!” Qin Tian quickly intervened, not wanting any more incidents. Chen Shu smiled slightly and stopped attacking.
“He’s truly courting death.” Brin from the Immortal Kingdom saw this and prepared to leave the scene with Sinclair.
“Why…” Sinclair took off his hat, only to see that the flames on it had been completely extinguished. On the other hand, the urea bag showed no signs of being damaged.
“Did you really think my Bandit Brother’s destined weapon was ordinary?” Chen Shu sneered and said, “Fire resistance and resistance to sharp objects are the most basic, don’t you understand?” Since he had seen Shen Wushuang’s anti-urea hat, he had the idea of improving it. If it could be easily destroyed, it wouldn’t be called a divine artifact.
“Scram, I don’t feel like hitting you today.” Chen Shu waved his hand, not pursuing the matter further. With onlookers all around, and even various Kings present, he couldn’t make a move. It was better to create a false image of amiability…
“…”
Sinclair looked wronged. Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces, he quickly got up, preparing to leave the scene.
“Hold on!” Chen Shu turned his head and said calmly, “Pick up your hat. Pick up your hat!”
Sinclair’s heart trembled, and he quickly picked up his hat and fled the scene in a panic.
“Truly like picking up a cigarette butt in a toilet, asking for trouble!” Chen Shu clapped his hands, but his mind was constantly replaying Sinclair’s appearance. He remembered that he didn’t seem to have any conflict with the man.
“Alright, everyone disperse, disperse.” Qin Tian said, leading Chen Shu and the others away from the area.
…
“Do you have a grudge against him?” Qin Tian turned to look, also having realized something.
“I’ve never met him,” Chen Shu shook his head and said, “I’m just an ordinary bandit. Who could I possibly offend?”
