Forget it.
Chen Shu and the other quickly left, not wishing to linger any longer.
Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly erupted, shaking the black market.
Chen Shu looked up and saw two Contracted Spirits appear on the street in the distance.
A large bird, entirely crimson, took flight, its sharp talons faintly glowing with fire.
The other was a towering shadow, two meters tall, its entire form black but solid.
The two were locked in a fierce battle.
Despite the advantage of flight, the crimson bird was being suppressed.
The shadow extended a black line, like a rope, binding the firebird.
Nearby, Xu Xiaoyu's expression was grim. She hadn't expected a crisis to erupt in the black market.
The red bird was her Contracted Spirit, an A-rated Flame Bird.
Someone had openly released a Contracted Spirit to cause trouble. The Spirit Suppression Bureau would be here soon.
People murmured amongst themselves, all moving away from the street.
Although the black market had high-level Beast Masters, they clearly didn't want to get involved.
The Beast Master controlling the shadow had reached level nine. To subdue him, a Black Iron level Beast Master would be needed.
But Black Iron level already signified a powerful individual, qualified to form a Beast Master team and explore dimensional rifts.
Such a powerful figure wouldn't easily appear in the black market.
Zhang Dali, though an ordinary person, had parents who were both Black Iron level Beast Masters.
Otherwise, given his personality, he would have been beaten up long ago.
That was Xu Xiaoyu's Contracted Spirit.
Zhang Dali looked at the Flame Bird. When it awakened, it had caused a stir throughout the entire grade.
Chen Pi, what do you say? It seems it's time for us to act.
Indeed, it's time for us to make a move!
Chen Shu's expression was solemn, his fists clenched slightly.
The two exchanged glances and nodded at each other.
The next moment, they bolted, directly heading for the nearest southern entrance.
Their ability to navigate the martial world for years was largely due to their talent for escaping.
Seeing that the battle between the two Contracted Spirits was about to spill over,
If not now, then when?
But as they ran with their heads down, Chen Shu's vision suddenly presented him with options.
[Option One: Release the Golden Slime and forcefully defeat the shadow monster. Completion Reward: Beast Master Level +1]
[Option Two: Stand by and do nothing, escaping amidst the chaos. Completion Reward: Slime's Charge Skill +1]
[Option Three: Capture the leader first, directly ambushing the shadow monster's master. Completion Reward: Golden Slime's All Attributes +5%! Note: System prompt received, target location locked]
[Option Four: Shout loudly, calling for the crowd to come and watch the excitement. Completion Reward: Title: "Not Human"! Equip Effect: Own damage against non-human lifeforms increased by 20%]
Chen Shu's expression flickered. The "Not Human" title instantly captivated him.
It sounded domineering, but the effect was too niche.
Dali, come with me, let's go beat someone up!
Chen Shu suddenly stopped, deciding to save Xu Xiaoyu.
As soon as he spoke, he took out a large sack from his backpack.
You're carrying a urea sack with you?!
Zhang Dali looked shocked.
He thought he was already invincible, but found someone even fiercer than him.
Less nonsense, come on!
Chen Shu's vision suddenly changed.
At the end of the street, a person was emitting a crimson glow.
Beast Masters below Black Iron level would not easily expose themselves.
They could only control one Contracted Spirit, and their true forms were quite fragile.
Only Black Iron level Beast Masters awakened a second Contracted Spirit, at which point their true forms gained protection.
A bald-headed burly man stood by the street, calmly manipulating the shadow monster.
His face bore an evil smile; he looked like a villain.
He was practically begging to have "I am evil!" carved onto his forehead.
To distract the opponent, Chen Shu released the Golden Slime in advance.
Although he was only a level two Beast Master, the slime had grown considerably through multiple choices, now standing nearly half a meter tall, resembling a moving pile of dung.
Goo! The slime opened its large eyes and bounced in place.
Under Chen Shu's command, the Golden Slime approached the battlefield.
The red-glowing man's vision suddenly blurred. A huge yellow object bizarrely appeared and slammed into the shadow monster.
What the hell, where did this poop come from!
He was startled and immediately realized a Beast Master had intervened.
The slime used its Giantization skill, growing to nearly two meters, appearing quite imposing.
While the man was distracted, two high school students stealthily approached.
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali's stealth capabilities were stronger than professionals; it was clear they had done such things often.
Less than a meter away from the man, the two couldn't help but grin, letting out chuckles.
The man seemed to sense something and suddenly turned back.
But in an instant, a sack flew directly at him, obscuring his vision.
Following that, a barrage of blows ensued.
Liu Wuyi couldn't help but shout, feeling his head buzz, even becoming disoriented.
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali, like berserkers, continued to beat him.
If the opponent's Contracted Spirit had attacked them, they could have been in mortal danger.
The two held nothing back. Although just high school students, they were both quite tall, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sit in the back row of classrooms for so long.
Stop hitting, damn it, stop hitting!
Liu Wuyi struggled, feeling incredibly unlucky, wondering why he was suddenly ambushed.
"Beast Master Class Three's monitor, Zheng Yi. Let's knock him out first."
"Third Middle School's number one, Brother Wang Teng, will we be in trouble if we hit him like this?"
"We can't worry about that anymore."
The two shouted loudly, playing off each other, instantly betraying Zheng Yi and Wang Teng.
This person dared to act in the black market, clearly not someone to be trifled with.
The onlookers were speechless. Who would address someone like that?
At this moment, Liu Wuyi's mind grew increasingly foggy. Suddenly, a sharp pain struck him, and he directly lost consciousness.
Without its master's control, the shadow monster instantly returned to the Beast Master Space.
Chen Shu also put the slime into his Beast Master Space.
Below, Xu Xiaoyu was stunned. She hadn't expected the crisis to be resolved so suddenly.
Could it be that a powerful expert intervened?
As Xu Xiaoyu wondered, she spotted a gathering crowd elsewhere.
She recalled her Flame Bird and walked into the crowd.
She saw two students relentlessly beating someone on the ground.
The person's body was still, and a urea sack was covering his head.
You guys?
Xu Xiaoyu recognized Chen Shu and Zhang Dali.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you came at the right time. This scoundrel, he actually attacked you openly. But don't worry, I've already subdued him."
Chen Shu spoke, occasionally kicking the person on the ground.
You guys handled it?
Xu Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. She had thought some powerful expert had acted, but it turned out to be these two?
