The Damn One Named Chen Shu Is Me

Zheng Nan's gaze locked directly onto Chen Shu—he had clearly come prepared.

He took a few steps forward, and the others didn't dare get close, even stepping back a bit.

After all, senior students naturally carried a kind of pressure. That was a universal rule in school.

Zheng Nan slightly looked up at Chen Shu and let out a mocking laugh.

"So you're the damn Chen Shu, huh?"

As he spoke, he reached out his right hand, intending to slap Chen Shu's face.

Chen Shu remained expressionless and instantly grabbed Zheng Nan's wrist.

At the same time, three options appeared in front of his eyes.

[Option 1: Let go of Zheng Nan's hand and let him slap your face while grinning flatteringly and saying, "Brother Nan, that feels great." Completion reward: Title "The Wise Yield to Circumstance." Equip effect: Increases appetite by 50%.]

[Option 2: Say seriously, "You've got the wrong guy, big bro. I'm Zhang Dali." Completion reward: Golden Slime size +10%.]

...

...

[Option 3: Counterattack directly and show your flair. Note: Zheng Nan is a Level 6 Beastmaster. Completion reward: Skill Book: Overlord Body.]

Chen Shu's mouth twitched, nearly bursting out laughing at the first option.

The content was already outrageous, but the reward? That was insane.

A title that increased appetite—talk about "The Wise Eat Well."

He didn't have time to think it through and chose the third option without hesitation.

He had already beaten up a Level 9 wanted Beastmaster; what's a mere Level 6?

Chen Shu gripped Zheng Nan tightly with his left hand and suddenly slapped him hard with his right.

Bang!

"Yeah, I'm Chen Shu. Got a problem with that?"

In an instant, Zheng Nan's head whipped to the side, his brain buzzing.

Are students this violent nowadays?

What happened to the universal school rules?

What happened to respecting upperclassmen?

Though he was a Level 6 Beastmaster, Zheng Nan was thin and no match for Chen Shu physically.

"You wanna die?!"

Zheng Nan's face turned pale with fury, fists clenched tight, rage boiling in his chest.

"What? Planning to summon your contracted beast?"

Chen Shu raised his palm and slapped him again.

According to the official Beastmaster Code, summoning a contracted beast at will was forbidden.

If a contracted beast harmed someone or caused a scene, the Spirit Control Bureau would personally investigate.

To maintain social order, Huaguo had issued all sorts of strict laws.

"If you dare summon it, we'll dare call the Spirit Control Bureau."

The students of Beastmaster Class 5 all chimed in threateningly.

Normal scuffles were one thing, but summoning a beast and injuring someone was a whole different matter.

"Come to the school's Beastmaster Hall if you've got the guts!"

Zheng Nan, furious, hadn't expected to get beaten up so badly.

"You think I'm as dumb as you? Show up just to get my ass kicked?"

Chen Shu sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm, enough to enrage anyone.

"Been playing too much Plants vs. Zombies, huh?"

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"

Having taken several solid slaps, Zheng Nan was already dazed and asked instinctively.

"Means your brain's already been eaten."

"I'll ask you one last time. Yeah, I'm Chen Shu. Got a problem with that?"

Chen Shu lightly patted Zheng Nan's face, looking smug and arrogant.

Everyone froze for a moment.

Amid the thick fog of chaos, they couldn't even tell who the real villain was anymore.

"No... no problem..."

Zheng Nan's face was full of frustration as he finally chose to back down.

Had he known this guy was so big, he would've brought more people.

"Alright! Break it up!"

At that moment, the homeroom teacher, Fang Ke, slowly walked into the classroom.

"Naughty Chen, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Fang, we were just messing around. Little Nan recently leveled up his beastmaster rank and wanted to spar with me."

Everyone around was speechless—what kind of nonsense was that?

What kind of beastmaster, after getting stronger, chooses to fight personally? Shouldn't they go to the Beastmaster Hall?

"Alright, Zheng Nan, go back to your own class."

Fang Ke nodded slightly, completely accepting the ridiculous explanation.

With a bruised and swollen face, Zheng Nan left Beastmaster Class 5. Before leaving, he shot Chen Shu a venomous glare.

"Naughty Chen, be careful. Zheng Nan's the type who'll do anything when pushed too far."

Fang Ke gave a warning, as he had some impression of this senior student.

Chen Shu responded with disdain, "He can talk big all he wants. Says he can do anything? Then give him a college entrance exam."

Fang Ke: "..."

"Cut the crap and come with me to the office."

Chen Shu's face immediately drooped, reluctantly following Fang Ke.

"Naughty Chen's really savage—he beat up both Zheng brothers. Those two have a bit of a name at South River No. 2 High."

"Yeah, Zheng Yi is the class rep of Beastmaster Class 3, and Zheng Nan is a member of Class 1. They're definitely top university material."

"You think Naughty Chen's gonna get revenge taken on him? If he gets ambushed, things could get ugly."

Everyone was talking, a few of them visibly worried.

While beastmasters can't casually summon their contracted beasts, in remote areas, who knows?

As long as no one's seriously injured or killed, the Spirit Control Bureau wouldn't fully investigate.

"I don't think Chen Shu will get ambushed..."

The aloof Xia Bing said softly.

Everyone was stunned, then slowly nodded in agreement.

Although Chen Shu's beastmaster level wasn't high, he was extremely cunning—

More importantly, he never played by the rules and always managed to pull off the unexpected.

"Teacher, I really didn't hit anyone. Zheng Nan just came to ask me a question."

"What question?"

"He asked if I was Chen Shu, and I politely answered him."

Fang Ke looked speechless. "Then how did he end up with a face full of bruises?"

"Well, every time I answered, he got so emotional he kept headbutting my hand. I was completely stunned."

Looking at Chen Shu's innocent expression, Fang Ke couldn't help but sigh inside.

How the hell are you able to lie so seriously with a straight face?

"Alright, I won't hold it against you. After all, he did provoke you first."

Fang Ke already knew the situation and had deliberately not stepped in—his real goal was to let Chen Shu teach Zheng Nan a lesson.

"But what happened with Zheng Yi—that's on you."

"Beastmaster combat isn't supposed to involve the person directly. If someone gets hurt, how would the school explain it to their parents?"

If everyone acted like Chen Shu and ignored the rules, the school would be in chaos.

Everyone's been educated from a young age that the human body is fragile. During combat, you're supposed to rely solely on your contracted beast.

Contracted beasts have high vitality and can recover from even serious wounds.

But if a person dies—everything's over.

"Teacher, I was just showing him the harshness of the real world. When you enter the dimensional rift, the wild beasts won't just target your contracted spirit."

"If you can't even protect yourself, no matter how strong your spirit is, it's useless."

"Spare the rod, spoil the child—I mean, the strong are born through hardship. I was doing it for their growth."

Fang Ke was actually momentarily persuaded and fell silent.

"Clearly, my words have touched your soul."

Chen Shu cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Fang, I'll leave you to reflect on that. Farewell!"

Fang Ke: "..."
