Although the third option was tempting, it only looked more cost-effective,
but in reality, it was even more so!
Unfortunately, apart from Old Man Ye, the other two chief examiners were also Golden rank.
Even if he became Silver rank, he would definitely be reincarnated on the spot.
Chen Shu honestly joined the queue.
A few minutes later, the system's reward was issued, clearly recognizing that he had chosen the first option.
A large amount of Beast Taming power appeared out of thin air, but due to the bottleneck, it was not directly absorbed into his body.
Instead, it transformed into a large amount of spiritual energy, constantly pouring into his body like white mist.
At this moment, Chen Shu was ignited!
"What the heck, Old Xie, Xiao Xing, why is there fog?!"
Chen Shu was a bit dumbfounded; his vision was obscured.
He had long understood the "Blazing Sun Hills" and knew there couldn't be a foggy weather situation without reason.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately trembled and tactically leaped backward.
Xie Sunan, with his classic question mark face, asked, "What kind of performance art are you up to now?!"
Xu Xingxing swallowed, saying, "Chen Pi, did you swallow a nuclear bomb?"
"Swallow a f***ing what!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. "Can you be any more outrageous?
Do you think that thing is something a human can swallow?" Da Feng Novel Network
The commotion of the three was immediately noticed by others.
When they saw Chen Shu enveloped in white mist, everyone panicked.
"What the hell is this?!"
"Report! Someone is self-immolating!!"
The people around immediately distanced themselves from Chen Shu, fearing they might be affected.
Some even summoned ice-attribute contracted spirits, intending to help Chen Shu cool down.
Chen Shu exclaimed, "You're the one who's self-immolating?!"
"This voice sounds a bit familiar..."
"It's the Nanjiang Bandit!!"
"Holy cow, could it really be Chen Shu?"
"Has the heavens finally come to collect this monster?!"
The crowd erupted. If it were an ordinary person self-immolating, it might not have caused such a stir,
but the Nanjiang Bandit had too much attention.
From infants in swaddling clothes to ninety-year-old elders, he was known by everyone!
"Silence!"
Ye Qing frowned. A terrifyingly enormous black bear appeared, its fearsome aura making people tremble, instantly calming the scene.
The corner of his mouth twitched. "You kid can really cause trouble. Today is the college entrance examination!"
Ye Qing asked, "Chen Shu, what's your situation?"
"Don't ask me!"
Chen Shu shrugged, looking innocent.
"I really didn't want to cause trouble, I was just breaking through, is there a problem?"
The large amount of Beast Taming power from the system's reward was still impacting his bottleneck, and the white mist permeated the air.
He instantly became the most eye-catching person on the scene!
"Old Ye, I feel like this guy is breaking through!"
Another Golden rank Beast Tamer said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he doubted his own sanity, as it was too unbelievable.
"Nonsense? He hasn't even cultivated."
At this, the three chief examiners fell silent.
"This is just lining up, and breakthroughs are as simple as eating and drinking?"
"Unscientific! Unscientific!"
"Everyone cultivates by sitting properly, why is your style so bizarre?"
"Old Ye, what do you say about this?"
The other two chief examiners were at a loss. In hundreds of years of college entrance examinations, they had never encountered such a situation.
"How should I know?!"
Ye Qing rubbed his forehead. He remembered Chen Shu saying he would become Black Iron rank before the college entrance examination,
but he never said he would break through on the spot!
"Teacher..."
Chen Shu raised his hand and said, "I think we should continue the exam first!"
"As a senior in high school, breaking through to Black Iron rank on the spot is reasonable, right?"
At these words, everyone looked at him silently. Though they said nothing, it felt like they had said everything.
"What kind of goddamn reasonableness is this?!"
"Even a sci-fi movie wouldn't dare film it like this!"
Finally, Ye Qing frowned and made a decision.
"Line up first! Continue the college entrance examination!"
Only then did everyone re-form their queues, while Chen Shu remained enveloped in the white mist, silently lining up.
People around him kept looking over, feeling utterly absurd.
"Is this really not a dream?"
He even had a headline ready for tomorrow's news: "Unbelievable!! Nanjiang Bandit breaks through while queuing for the college entrance examination and feels it's perfectly reasonable!"
Not only the examinees, but even the examiners and the Spirit Suppressing Army kept glancing over!
College entrance examinations happen every year, but missing this scene would be a lifelong regret.
"Truly inexperienced."
Chen Shu sneered, noticing people stealthily taking photos of him with their phones clicking away.
What should have been a two-hour potential rating assessment had now stretched to three hours without completion.
Finally, it was Chen Shu's turn.
The invigilator responsible for recording scores swallowed hard, looking at the person shrouded in white mist up close.
As the white mist began to dissipate, he could faintly see Chen Shu's calm face.
The invigilator first took out his camera to snap a photo, then said,
"Chen Shu, classmate, could you please display your contracted spirit panel?"
Chen Shu displayed the panel information of the Slime, though all its skills were hidden.
A large 'E' appeared, leaving the invigilator bewildered.
"Rumor has it the 'Poop Monster' is S rank, and textbooks say Slimes are F rank.
What the heck is this 'E'?"
"Just record it as it is."
Ye Qing walked over and said,
He also hadn't expected Chen Shu's potential rating to be so low. Could such a contracted spirit win the championship?!
"Wait..."
Chen Shu interrupted him.
As everyone looked on in confusion, he waved his hand and said,
"I'll break through first, please wait a moment."
With that, the spiritual energy surrounding his body was rapidly absorbed.
A breakthrough aura emerged within Chen Shu.
"Everyone, step back!"
Ye Qing immediately ordered, telling people to stay away from Chen Shu, as he always managed to cause trouble.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a Slime appeared. Without using its giant form, its height of four meters and five still possessed an oppressive presence.
Moreover, the dazzling golden light emanating from its body made it impossible to look directly at.
Another bloodline evolution!
Of course, this was not gifted by the system, but brought about by the breakthrough.
"Holy crap, he actually broke through?!"
The examinees below exclaimed. Although they found it incredibly absurd, their envy was almost overflowing.
Breaking through to Black Iron rank before the college entrance examination basically secured a spot in the Hua Xia Academy!
"There's no justice! His contracted spirit is so fierce, and his cultivation speed is so fast! Is the gap between people really this big?"
Suddenly, the college entrance examination felt a bit bland.
Everyone exchanged glances, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, feeling utterly dejected.
"Did you hog all the glory? What are the rest of us even here for?"
