Zheng Nan’s gaze locked onto Chen Shu, clearly having prepared beforehand.
He strode forward a few steps, while the others dared not approach, even retreating a few paces.
After all, senior students always exuded a certain aura of pressure, a universal rule in the school.
Zheng Nan looked up at Chen Shu slightly and let out a sneer.
"So you're that Chen Shu bastard?"
With that, he extended his right hand, intending to pat Chen Shu's face.
Chen Shu's expression remained unchanged as he instantly grabbed Zheng Nan’s wrist.
Simultaneously, three options appeared before his eyes.
[Option One: Release Zheng Nan’s hand, let him slap your face, and say with a fawning smile: "Brother Nan, that feels great." Completion Reward: Obtain the title "A Wise Man Knows When to Yield," Wearing Effect: Increase food intake by 50%.]
[Option Two: State seriously: "Brother, you've mistaken me for someone else. My name is Zhang Dali." Completion Reward: Golden Slime’s body size increases by 10%.]
[Option Three: Counterattack directly and show your true colors. Note: Zheng Nan is a Level Six Beast Tamer. Completion Reward: Skill Book: Indomitable Body.]
Chen Shu's lips twitched. Upon seeing the first option, he almost burst out laughing.
He could tolerate the content being so servile, but the reward was too outrageous!
A title that increased his appetite, truly "a wise man knows when to eat."
He didn't have time to ponder further and directly chose the third option.
He had even beaten up a wanted criminal who was a Level Nine Beast Tamer; a mere Level Six Beast Tamer was nothing.
Chen Shu gripped Zheng Nan’s wrist tightly with his left hand and then swung his right hand fiercely.
*Bang!*
"So I'm Chen Shu, got a problem?"
Instantly, Zheng Nan’s head snapped to the side, his ears ringing.
Are all students this violent now?
What about the school’s universal rules?
The fear of senior students?
Although he was a Level Six Beast Tamer, Zheng Nan was thin and wiry, no match for Chen Shu.
"You're looking for death?!"
Zheng Nan’s face turned ashen, his fists clenched, feeling a surge of anger from his chest.
"What? You want to summon your contracted spirit?"
Chen Shu’s right hand formed a palm and struck again fiercely.
According to the official Beast Taming Code, Beast Tamers were not allowed to summon their contracted spirits at will.
If a contracted spirit injured someone or caused a disturbance, the Spirit Suppression Bureau would personally investigate.
To maintain social stability, China had enacted various stringent laws.
"If you dare to summon, we'll call the Spirit Suppression Bureau."
Chen Shu’s classmates from Class Five of Beast Taming threatened.
Normal fights were minor skirmishes, but summoning a contracted spirit to injure someone was a different matter.
"If you have the guts, come with me to the school's Beast Taming Hall!"
Zheng Nan felt his anger surge, not expecting the other party to be so ruthless, beating him relentlessly.
"Do you think I’m as stupid as you, coming here to get beaten?"
Chen Shu sneered, his tone filled with sarcasm that made anger boil.
"I think you've played too much Plants vs. Zombies."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Zheng Nan, having taken several hard blows, felt his mind becoming fuzzy and asked almost instinctively.
"Your brain has been eaten away, that's what."
"I'll ask you one last time, so I'm Chen Shu, got any problems?"
Chen Shu patted Zheng Nan’s face with an arrogant air.
Everyone was slightly stunned.
The fog of confusion descended, making it difficult to tell who was the villain.
"No... no problems..."
Zheng Nan, utterly humiliated, finally chose to back down.
If he had known this kid was so strong, he should have brought more people.
"Alright! Everyone disperse!"
At this moment, their homeroom teacher, Fang Ke, slowly entered the classroom.
"Chen Pi, what are you doing?"
"Teacher Fang, we were just playing around. Xiao Nan recently leveled up his beast taming and wanted to spar with me."
Everyone was speechless; that excuse was too far-fetched.
Which Beast Tamer, upon becoming stronger, would choose to fight in person? Wouldn't they go to the Beast Taming Hall instead?
"Alright, Zheng Nan, return to your classroom."
Fang Ke nodded slightly, completely accepting the explanation.
The bruised and swollen Zheng Nan left Class Five of Beast Taming, casting a venomous glance at Chen Shu as he went.
"Chen Pi, be careful. Zheng Nan is a confrontational person; if you push him too far, he'll do anything."
Fang Ke reminded him, having some impression of this senior student.
Chen Shu dismissed it with disdain: "You're bluffing. He'll do anything? Then give him a college entrance exam."
Fang Ke: "..."
"Stop with the nonsense. Come to the office with me."
Chen Shu’s face immediately fell, and he reluctantly followed Fang Ke to the office.
"Chen Pi is truly fierce, beating up the two Zheng brothers. These two have some reputation at Nanzhong High School."
"Exactly. Zheng Yi is the class monitor of Class Three of Beast Taming, and Zheng Nan is a member of Class One of Beast Taming, definitely a future key university student."
"Will Chen Pi be retaliated against? If he gets ambushed, there might be trouble."
Everyone started discussing, with some worry.
Although Beast Tamers couldn't casually summon their contracted spirits, secluded places were another matter.
As long as no serious injury or death occurred, the Spirit Suppression Bureau wouldn't thoroughly investigate.
"I don't think there's much chance of Chen Pi being ambushed,"
The aloof Xia Bing said softly. Da Feng Novel Network.
Everyone was startled, then felt it made sense.
Although Chen Shu’s beast taming level wasn't high, he was too cunning.
Crucially, he didn't play by the rules and always did surprising things.
"Teacher, I really didn't hit anyone. Zheng Nan just came to discuss a matter with me."
"What matter?"
"He asked if my name was Chen Shu, and I answered him amicably."
Fang Ke was speechless. Then where did the injuries on his face come from?
"Every time I answered, he became so emotional that he kept hitting his head against my hand, which confused me."
Looking at Chen Shu's innocent expression, Fang Ke couldn't help but sigh.
"How can you be so calm? You're spewing nonsense with a straight face."
"Alright, I won't pursue this further, as he was the one who came to provoke me first."
Fang Ke had already learned about the situation and hadn't intervened, intending for Chen Shu to teach Zheng Nan a lesson.
"Zheng Nan's situation was his own fault, but Zheng Yi's case is your wrongdoing."
"The school does not permit students to fight personally in Beast Tamer battles, otherwise, if they get injured, how can we explain it to the parents?"
If everyone acted like Chen Shu, disregarding the rules, the school would have been in chaos long ago.
The education everyone received from childhood was that the human body was fragile, and during combat, one could only rely on contracted spirits.
Contracted spirits had strong vitality and could recover slowly even after severe injuries.
But if a person died, everything would be over.
"Teacher, I was just telling him about the harshness of the world. If you go to dimensional gateways, fierce beasts won't just target your contracted spirit."
"If you can't even protect yourself, having the most powerful contracted spirit is useless."
"Spare the rod and spoil the child... cough, it's out with the strong. I was also cultivating them both."
Fang Ke was momentarily convinced, remaining speechless for a long time.
"I believe my words have deeply touched your soul."
Chen Shu clasped his hands. "Teacher Fang, please take your time to comprehend. I bid farewell!"
Fang Ke: "..."
