Fly free, Little Nan — the Wheelchair Will Push Itself

If it were only relying on the slime's weight and jumping ability, it would be impossible to leap that high.

Naturally, this was the effect of the skill "Violent Butt Slam."

At the same time, the slime also used its gigantification skill—a four-meter-wide yellow sphere suddenly came crashing down.

Everything happened in an instant, so fast that no one else had time to react.

The Azure Feather Eagle's pupils shrank, and it tried to flap its wings and escape, but it was already too late.

Boom!

Those outside the arena felt the ground shake.

"Damn it! You ambushed me!"

Zheng Nan's expression turned ugly as the golden slime's body expanded and firmly pinned the Azure Feather Eagle underneath.

Although the eagle was fast and had the advantage of flight, now that it was pinned down, there was no chance of escape.

...

...

"Crush that Azure Feather beast for me!" Chen Shu grinned with a sinister smile.

"Gugu!" Although the golden slime had a gentle personality, it was still angry from being beaten earlier.

Its giant rear kept wiggling on top of the eagle.

The Azure Feather Eagle let out a pained shriek, feeling like all its organs were crushed.

Once pinned by the slime, it was a living nightmare.

"How is this possible?! An F-rank slime can't have two active skills!"

Zheng Nan clenched his fists, his eyes full of disbelief.

In just a short time, the Azure Feather Eagle had taken heavy damage, blood spilling everywhere.

The reversal was too sudden, leaving the others dumbfounded.

"This slime is way too sneaky!"

Wang Yu muttered. Everyone had assumed the slime was gravely wounded, but now it was full of energy—not a trace of weakness.

Despite being F-rank, slimes had one unignorable trait—their vitality was extremely high.

The Azure Feather Eagle was so strong that everyone had forgotten about the slime's durability.

As they say, like master, like contract beast…

"I lost..."

Zheng Nan looked utterly miserable and finally said in defeat.

Just as he was about to recall the Azure Feather Eagle, the golden slime voluntarily bounced away and no longer pinned it down.

"Hm?"

Zheng Nan's eyes flickered. He didn't expect the opponent to give up the advantage.

Now that the eagle was alert, even if the slime used a skill again, it wouldn't land another successful slam.

The Azure Feather Eagle trembled slightly, still feeling a bit concussed and dizzy.

"Chen Shu, don't let it take off!!" Xu Xiaoyu warned.

But in the next moment, Chen Shu sent a mental command.

The golden slime's eyes widened with rage, its body trembling slightly before launching forward like an arrow.

The Azure Feather Eagle, having just taken off half a meter into the air, was startled—its vision filled with a flash of yellow charging toward it.

The next second, its body was sent flying.

When facing a contract beast, Chen Shu had no reason to hold back—even if it was killed, it didn't matter.

Coincidentally, the Azure Feather Eagle flew straight toward Zheng Nan.

Bang!

Both master and beast were launched several meters through the air before crashing hard to the ground.

Fly free, Little Nan—the wheelchair will push itself!

"Cough… cough…"

Zheng Nan clutched his chest in pain, coughing uncontrollably.

"You lost."

Chen Shu spoke calmly. The Azure Feather Eagle had been forced out of the battle arena, which counted as a loss.

"Three skills?! How can you have three skills?! That's not possible!"

Zheng Nan clenched his fists again, pain wracking his body, but unable to hide his shock.

An F-rank slime having at least three combat skills was absurd—completely unheard of!

But it was real.

Xu Xiaoyu covered her mouth with her hand, also utterly shocked.

Even her A-rank Firebird only had two combat skills.

"Because it's the Yellow Flash of South River High!"

Everyone: "???"

Chen Shu recalled the slime into his beast space and turned to leave with Xu Xiaoyu.

"Bro, are you okay?"

Zheng Yi rushed over, eyes full of worry.

"Cough… cough… I'm fine. I won't be staying at South River High anymore, so don't mess with Chen Shu again."

Zheng Nan's face was pale, still coughing, but his expression was stern as he warned his younger brother.

Chen Shu may act unconventional, but his strength is undeniable. Coupled with how well he hides his abilities, there's no way the Zheng brothers can handle him.

After so many encounters, they hadn't gotten the upper hand even once.

"I get it," Zheng Yi sighed, a defeated look in his eyes, finally giving up on causing trouble for Chen Shu.

…

"Chen Shu, is your contract beast really F-rank? It feels even stronger than my Firebird," Xu Xiaoyu asked curiously, like a child eager for answers.

"Of course not," Chen Shu replied mysteriously. "Actually, my contract beast is an SSS-rank 'Universe Invincible Poop.'"

Xu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. "There's no such name! Unless you show me its contract information."

"I prefer to keep a low profile," Chen Shu said with a straight face.

"Hmph!" Xu Xiaoyu pouted unhappily, then suddenly remembered something.

"You're already a level 5 Beastmaster. If you can improve just a bit more, you might qualify for the special training class."

"Yeah, we'll see," Chen Shu nodded. With his current strength, he could likely make it into the top 20 of his grade.

But with one week left, everyone would be doing everything they could to improve. It was still possible he'd get pushed out.

Whether he made it into the senior year special training class would all come down to luck. In any case, even if he didn't get in, he could still ace the college entrance exam.

"You should try to buy some Beastmaster Orbs to train. If you reach level 6, you'll definitely get in," Xu Xiaoyu suggested.

"We'll see," Chen Shu replied vaguely.

His Beastmaster talent was average, and his training efficiency was too low—it just wasn't realistic for him to improve that way.

The two went their separate ways.

After the battle, Chen Shu's contract beast had gained a new talent: "Thick Armor."

Thick Armor: Greatly increases defense. When the contract beast is sleeping, the effect triples.

It was clearly a solid defensive skill and perfectly suited for the golden slime.

Chen Shu walked to the classroom door, where a young teacher was enthusiastically lecturing on key biology topics.

"It's almost the end of term, and they're still teaching?"

Chen Shu muttered under his breath, quietly opening the back door to return to his seat.

"Hey? Which student are you?" the biology teacher suddenly turned around, spotting Chen Shu sneaking in.

"…," Chen Shu fell silent.

I'm the protagonist, aren't I? Do I really have so little presence?

Chen Shu reacted quickly: "Teacher, I'm in this class. I had an upset stomach earlier—had a whole waterfall moment in the restroom."

"…," the biology teacher looked speechless. "Just sit down."
