The next morning, the first day of the New Year,
Chen Shu had planned to sneak away, but his father caught him and made him accompany him to visit relatives.
His parents were quite proud that Chen Shu had become a student in the special training class.
The relatives offered polite congratulations, saying Chen Shu was promising and would surely become a powerful Beast Tamer in the future.
However, his younger siblings treated him like a celebrity, constantly surrounding him.
Many even took out their phones to take photos with him, treating him like a big star.
They likely wanted to show off at school.
Which middle school student didn't know that Chen Shu had single-handedly defeated seven middle schools in Nanjiang City?
Having such a photo was like a talisman, allowing them to walk around with impunity.
For several consecutive days, Chen Shu was busy with visits.
Finally, it was over!
Chen Shu felt a wave of fatigue and sighed, "I can finally get a good night's sleep!"
He hadn't slept in the mornings these past few days and felt his sleep schedule was completely off.
Not sleeping in the morning was a complete waste of time!
Just as he was about to fall asleep, his phone suddenly rang.
"Who is it? Disturbing my sleep so early in the morning? Don't they want to live?"
"It's me, Shen Wushuang!"
"Teacher Shen, did I just say that in my sleep? I feel a bit disoriented."
Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched. "Your reaction is indeed fast. I'm just reminding you that school starts in three days!"
Chen Shu instinctively asked, "School? What school?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Shen Wushuang was stumped. "How am I supposed to answer that? School?!"
Chen Shu shook his head and instantly sobered up, saying, "That can't be right, didn't the winter break just start yesterday?"
Shen Wushuang chuckled, "Chen Pi, you're getting a bit bold, joking with me? You're finished! I'm telling you directly, you're finished!"
Chen Shu was about to explain, "No, Teacher Shen—"
*Beep beep beep~*
"It's over. I've offended Old Shen. I guess I'll have to find a chance to bury him!"
As he was thinking this, Fang Si suddenly called.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. "Telepathy? I was just thinking of burying Shen Wushuang, and Fang Si called."
"Hello, Sister Fang Si!"
Fang Si's anxious voice came through, "Chen Pi, can I borrow your classmate's Thunder Bird!"
Chen Shu immediately asked, "Did something happen?!"
He had been looking for something to do, and if he didn't stir up some trouble, school would start soon.
Fang Si said, "Why do I feel like you're a bit excited?"
"It's an illusion, all an illusion. I just want to step forward!"
Chen Shu explained, "Tell me, what's wrong? Have fierce beasts appeared again?"
Fang Si said solemnly, "A fierce beast tide is about to appear!"
"Holy crap!"
Chen Shu's expression changed. A group of fierce beasts and a fierce beast tide were two different concepts.
The first fierce beast tide he encountered was the Steel Fang Rat, which had shocked him greatly at the time.
Just as he was about to speak, another option appeared before his eyes.
As expected, when something happens, options are easily triggered.
It's not that Chen Shu wanted to cause trouble; he just wanted to get stronger. Was that wrong? Not at all!
[Option One: Support Fang Si and suppress the fierce beast tide together! Completion reward: Skill 'Deterrent Roar' +1! If the beast tide is successfully repelled, additional reward: a large amount of Beast Taming Power.]
[Option Two: Turn a blind eye and remain indifferent! Completion reward: a moderate amount of Beast Taming Power!]
[Option Three: Seize the opportunity, deploy explosives in Nanjiang City, collude with the fierce beasts, and become famous overnight! Completion reward: advance to Black Iron level Beast Tamer.]
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. The third option was too outrageous.
The key was that it was actually tempting!
He shook his head, forcibly dispelling the stray thoughts, and said,
"Did an异空间 (Yì Kōngjiān - Other Dimension) fall? Otherwise, why would there be a fierce beast tide? That's not right, the 异空间 in Nanjiang City are all normal level. A Silver level Beast Tamer could handle it."
Fang Si said, "It's fierce beasts from a new 异空间. A relatively stable spatial fragment has appeared to the east of Nanjiang City."
Connecting Blue Star and the 异空间 is a spatial channel, and spatial channels are formed by countless spatial fragments gathering together to eventually become stable.
The new space is in its nascent stage, and spatial fragments will spill over to Blue Star.
The previous groups of fierce beasts descended through these fragments.
However, the fragments are extremely unstable and cannot accommodate a large number of fierce beasts. They will naturally collapse after a period of time.
But there are exceptions. If several spatial fragments happen to collide, a relatively stable small channel will form, and it might lead to a fierce beast tide.
However, the probability of this happening is not high. Unfortunately, they encountered it.
"Sister Fang Si, I'll be right there!"
Chen Shu said excitedly, barely able to contain his smile!
"No! It's too dangerous. There's a Silver Lord! Three Imperial Dragon Guards are already fighting!"
Fang Si immediately refused, truly worried about Chen Shu's safety.
"Sister Fang Si, let me go. Saving Nanjiang City is my bounden duty, Chen Shu!"
"I'll come to your place later!"
Chen Shu hung up the phone directly and simultaneously called Xu Xingxing.
In the upscale villa district north of Nanjiang City,
Xu Xingxing looked at the Beast Taming Pearls on the table and couldn't help but wail,
"Why am I eating this stuff again this morning?!"
He had scorned Chen Shu for forcefully improving himself using Beast Taming Pearls last semester, only to find himself doing the same during winter break.
The butler, dressed in a black tailcoat, said, "Young master, there's no other way. Your progress is too slow!"
Sigh!
Xu Xingxing looked out the window with a dejected expression and couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I'm not happy at all."
*Ding ding ding!*
"Is someone calling me?"
Xu Xingxing picked up his phone: "Hello? Chen Pi?"
"Xiao Xing, lend me your bird!"
"???"
Xu Xingxing was confused. "What kind of suggestive talk is this early in the morning?"
"Hurry up, I don't have a flying contracted spirit!"
Xu Xingxing suddenly realized and said, "Oh, you mean the mutated Thunder Bird?"
"What else do you think it is? Hurry up and let Little Thunder Bird come to our neighborhood!"
Xu Xingxing had no choice but to nod: "My friend needs me for something, so I might not be able to train today!"
The butler smiled and said, "Let Little Thunder go, young master. You can continue cultivating!"
Five minutes later,
*Pfft*
Chen Shu was rinsing his mouth when he suddenly looked up and saw outside the bathroom window.
"Holy crap, whose butt is that coming from?"
Outside the window, a bird's butt with blue feathers, somewhat dark and black, was shaking non-stop, looking incredibly cheeky.
"Mutated Thunder Bird? So fast?"
Chen Shu immediately realized. After a quick rinse, he grabbed his backpack,
He flipped directly from the balcony and landed steadily on the back of the mutated Thunder Bird.
Soon after, Chen Shu picked up Fang Si, and the two of them rode the Thunder Bird towards the direction of the beast tide.
ps: The book title will be changed soon. I'm really bad at naming things. Do you guys have any good suggestions, preferably related to beast taming! Don't suggest things like "Memoirs of a Fierce Bandit" or "How to Become a Lawless Criminal."
