The two were completely disbelieving of Chen Shu’s words.
Despite the slime’s arrogance at school, it would be instantly annihilated if it dared to fight a Silver Lord.
Alas, no one believed the truth these days!
Chen Shu sighed, finished tidying up the barbecue grill, and fell asleep.
The next morning,
after breakfast, the three of them arrived at the classroom.
The cultural subjects teacher announced, "Today is the assessment, which will determine your rankings for the February competition!"
A group of students were all invigorated, and some even cast challenging glances at Chen Shu.
"If I can't beat you, can't I at least do better on the tests?"
Although Chen Shu’s cultural subject scores were the highest in the entire grade last year,
everyone had been studying throughout the semester,
while Chen Shu had been goofing off. How could he possibly keep up?
Chen Shu yawned, paying them no mind.
The moment he received the exam paper, options immediately appeared before his eyes.
[Option One: Achieve last place! Completion Reward: Obtain the title "Unsupportable Ruffian"! Wearing Effect: System rewards are halved!]
[Option Two: Achieve a top ten ranking! Completion Reward: Ten Basic Grade Beast Taming Pearls]
[Option Three: Achieve a top five ranking! Completion Reward: Skill "Wind Taming Power" +1]
[Option Four: Achieve first place! Completion Reward: Answers to the college entrance exam's final challenging questions and a large amount of beast taming power]
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched. Especially the first option, how could that even be considered a reward?
He decisively chose the fourth option; the abundance of beast taming power and the answers to the challenging questions were all very useful to him.
Especially the former. Although Chen Shu had mastered all the knowledge from high school,
the challenging questions couldn't be solved just by knowing the material.
There were no challenging questions in the second-year final exams, which allowed him to get a high score of 396.
It was different now; with the challenging questions, he could at most achieve 380 points.
Did the system predict the future?
Chen Shu rubbed his chin and then understood.
The answers would likely be given on-site, and just one answer wouldn't require precognitive abilities.
If he could get the answers, Chen Shu’s cultural subject scores for the college entrance exam would be close to full marks.
Combined with his beast taming scores, he would definitely get into Huaxia University!
As the exam papers were distributed, Chen Shu immediately got into the zone and began writing furiously.
The knowledge rewarded by the system was directly imprinted in his memory, never to be forgotten, no matter how much time passed.
The cultural subjects teacher came to Chen Shu’s side,
not to observe his performance, but to prevent him from cheating!
"Putting on a show again?"
He shook his head and sighed.
"Hmm? Hmm!"
But when he saw Chen Shu's exam paper, he was stunned.
Chen Shu was answering questions at an astonishing speed, like a machine, without any hesitation.
"You can actually do them?"
Teacher Liu looked incredibly surprised, constantly scrutinizing Chen Shu.
Chen Shu did not reply, but focused on completing the exam.
The exam, which was originally scheduled for two hours, he finished in half an hour. As for the final challenging questions, he simply abandoned them.
Chen Shu then raised his head and said,
"Aren't these simple? Anyone can do them."
Instantly, the entire class turned their gaze towards him. "You really are a jerk!"
"Teacher, I'm submitting my paper!"
Teacher Liu snapped back to reality and almost instinctively nodded.
Chen Shu immediately got up and vanished.
He sat in Chen Shu's seat and continuously looked at the answers on the exam paper.
"All correct, all correct, not a single mistake."
Teacher Liu couldn't help but let out a sigh, "He's both fast and accurate, much better than I am."
"No wonder he’s so arrogant and can be the class monitor; turns out he’s genuinely capable!"
The people around them also heard the teacher's self-talk and felt a sense of suffocation.
"His beast taming skills blow everyone away, and his cultural subject scores are just as amazing. Are you letting anyone else live?"
"The key is, you never seem to work hard!"
Everyone's hearts became unbalanced, filled with melancholy and despondency.
"Chen Shu!"
Shen Wushuang grabbed Chen Shu as he was making his escape.
"Skipping class in public again?"
"How could that be?! I finished my exam and came out to rest."
Chen Shu inwardly thought, "How could I be so unlucky? Caught by Old Shen again."
He didn't know that Shen Wushuang was constantly watching him now.
After a winter break, he thought he could relax a bit, but it seemed Chen Shu hadn't changed at all.
"Come with me to the principal's office!"
Shen Wushuang said, and strode ahead.
Chen Shu had no choice but to follow.
Soon, the two arrived at the principal's office.
The principal took a sip of tea and said, "Teacher Shen, are you really going to let Chen Shu be the captain for the beast taming competition?"
It was late February, and the city's beast taming competition had already started registration.
"Principal, there's no need to think about it. No one in the class can beat him."
Shen Wushuang said with extreme confidence.
"With Chen Shu's monstrous slime, he can beat anyone in a fight."
"Although it's an F-class contracted spirit, it seems to have no upper limit."
"Who knows how much it has improved over the winter break."
The principal's eyes held a thoughtful gaze.
"I also know the strength of Chen Shu's classmates, but last year, his beast taming level was higher."
He believed that Chen Shu's dominance in all the middle schools last year was mainly due to the level advantage of being a ninth-level beast tamer.
Now, in the second semester, geniuses would basically reach the ninth level.
Chen Shu's original level advantage had completely disappeared.
"More importantly, if Chen Shu is the captain, I fear Nanjian Second High School's reputation might decline again."
"This is completely negative publicity!"
"Principal, you don't need to worry. Our target isn't the city competition, but the provincial one!"
Shen Wushuang said, "I believe that with Chen Shu leading the team, we will achieve a good ranking, at least not worse than Fang Si back then!"
"You have that much confidence in him?"
The principal's eyes widened. Shen Wushuang's statement implied that Chen Shu was even stronger than Fang Si.
"Don't worry! Let him lead the team!"
As the class advisor, Shen Wushuang had the right to decide. Informing the principal was not a consultation.
"Alright then!"
The principal nodded helplessly.
"I object!"
Chen Shu immediately understood. Judging by the principal's reaction, it seemed he was reluctant for him to participate.
"I want to study, and no one can stop me! The ocean of knowledge has already captivated me!"
Shen Wushuang and the principal looked at him in unison. "Is he making excuses again?"
"Even if the student ranked last in the grade said this, they wouldn't be too suspicious."
"But coming from you, is it really appropriate?"
The principal said earnestly,
"Student Chen Shu, this competition is an honor for the school, and even more so for you."
Chen Shu closed his eyes, beginning to rest.
Shen Wushuang waved his hand, directly interrupting the principal.
"Trying to reason with Nanjian Ruffian is like trying to educate fierce beasts; it might be more effective."
Shen Wushuang seized the key point and directly said,
"Name your price!"
