Brother Wang Teng, I've always seen your potential!
Chen Shu grinned. Although reality was harsh, at least the other party had courage!
The rest shook their heads, their minds already scarred.
They didn't wish to surpass Chen Shu, only hoped he would stop bullying them!
Xia Bing asked in a low voice, "Chen Pi, what exactly did you do?"
Xu Xiaoyu also looked over with confusion.
The atmosphere of this beast-taming competition seemed a bit off.
They had even prepared for a tough battle, but in the first match, their opponents surrendered directly.
Xu Xiaoyu remained silent, as if she finally understood Chen Shu's previous words.
Perhaps bringing his photo onto the stage could truly win them first place.
It's unavoidable, his charisma shone through.
Chen Shu sighed and said, "It's this damn kingly aura of mine!"
The corners of their mouths twitched, and they didn't ask further, already having a guess.
This guy probably fought the beast-taming competition last week.
The second match began.
Fortunately, the two teams didn't need to surrender, and the battle officially commenced!
This also relieved the audience, Da Feng Fiction Network.
If it were all anticlimactic, what would be the point of watching?
However, while the combat arena was active, both teams were somewhat listless.
No matter how hard they tried, they could only achieve second place, and their hearts lacked great passion.
For the school, second and third place were honors,
but as students, they only wanted to win first place and seize the opportunity to witness talented students from across the province.
Now that first place was reserved, they felt as if their energy had been drained.
"Damn it, doesn't it feel like a fixed match!"
"I agree, the three of them are fighting their own battles, with no exciting coordination at all."
"I feel like I'm getting ripped off for this year's tickets."
The six people on the combat stage looked dejected.
Lin Zixuan from Nanjiang First Middle School said, "Captain, should we win this match?"
Jiang Tian's expression was calm, "Do you want to surrender to Nanjiang Second Middle School?"
He was unwilling to bow his head to his nemesis again.
The other two also shook their heads and said, "How about we lose gracefully?"
"Yeah, make it look convincing!"
Meanwhile, the team from Nanjiang Fourth Middle School also began their discussion.
"Captain Du Li, do we win?"
"Win what! I don't want to surrender in front of them!"
The two middle schools were in a qualifying match, and whoever won would face Nanjiang Second Middle School, which essentially meant facing humiliation.
Although both second and third place came with prize money,
for top geniuses of a school, Renminbi couldn't compare to face.
One person weakly said, "Actually, we can strive for second place, the whole city will remember us."
Du Li from Nanjiang Third Middle School said, "Do you know what the most dangerous spatial anomaly in the world is currently?"
The person was startled and replied, "China's Dragon Abyss!"
"And the second most dangerous?"
Du Li said earnestly, intending to impart a lesson:
"It's that the world only cares about first place, and no one pays attention to second place."
That team member straightforwardly said, "The Western Beast Lair!"
"???"
Du Li was taken aback and asked, "What about the third?!"
"Africa's Death Altar!"
"???"
Du Li's mouth twitched, "You better stop talking!"
"What do you do all day? Read extracurricular books, right?"
Although high school has geography, it mainly describes Chinese spatial anomalies. As for the world's major spatial anomalies, that's university-level knowledge.
"I wanted to tell you something but forget it, I don't want to say it anymore!"
Du Li pouted and said, "In short, we have to lose, and we have to lose beautifully! Lose without anyone noticing, understand?!"
The other two nodded, appearing to obey their captain's orders.
Thus, the two teams that decided to slack off began to fight with all their might.
This time, they wanted to slack off to their heart's content!
The contracted spirits of both sides exchanged skills, and each skill could "accidentally" hit, injuring the contracted spirits on the stage.
This battle could be described as full of passion, devoid of skill.
"Damn it, this is getting a bit boring to watch."
Many spectators yawned. Since the skill cooldowns were quite long, they had been exchanging blows for nearly half an hour.
"It's about time!"
The three members of Nanjiang Fourth Middle School exchanged glances. Their contracted spirits were already injured, so withdrawing from the competition was reasonable!
Just then, Jiang Tian said,
"Your school is truly formidable! We concede!"
With that, Nanjiang First Middle School immediately recalled their contracted spirits.
This scene stunned the members of the third middle school.
"Wait, big brother, your Wind Thunder Birds only lost a couple of feathers, is that enough to surrender?"
Jiang Tian said calmly, "You don't understand, it sustained internal injuries!"
With that, he directly led his teammates away from the combat stage.
This beast-taming competition had truly been ruined by Chen Shu!
Shen Wushuang sighed, already realizing what was happening.
There were still four schools left to compete. Fortunately, Fifth Middle School wanted to obtain the second-place reward; not every genius disregarded prize money.
Fifth Middle School's valiant fight managed to provide some excitement for the audience,
but the other schools that were slacking off were not worth watching at all.
Even the principals of the respective schools lowered their heads, remaining silent. The competition had become a huge embarrassment.
Next, it was time for the four advancing teams to compete.
Still no surprises, upon seeing Nanjiang Second Middle School, they immediately surrendered.
The progression of the matches was incredibly fast. By the afternoon, the championship final had begun.
In the beast-taming hall, one-third of the audience had left.
The remaining two-thirds were still somewhat naive, believing the final battle would be more exciting.
"Next, let's welcome Nanjiang Second Middle School and Nanjiang Fifth Middle School to compete for this year's championship!!"
*Clap, clap*
Sparse applause erupted from below the stage.
Everyone feigned a little enthusiasm, wanting to witness the battle between the two teams.
Chen Shu and the others walked onto the combat stage with calm expressions, waiting for the other team.
However, no one from Nanjiang Fifth Middle School had arrived for a long time.
"Huh?"
Chen Shu frowned, thinking that the other party was being a bit disobedient and was planning to settle the score later.
"It seems the students from Nanjiang Fifth Middle School are a little nervous. Let's give them some time."
The host smiled and tried to smooth things over.
Just then, a piece of white cloth flew from somewhere, landing precisely at the contestant's position.
This scene left the audience and the host completely dumbfounded.
"What the actual fâ"
The principal of Fifth Middle School covered his face, not even daring to look at the others. His students were truly outrageous.
Gazing at the gently fluttering white cloth, everyone was equally stunned.
So, for the championship final, they weren't even sending people to compete anymore?
