An unprecedented event!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our class has Tang Lie, who comes from a prestigious family and possesses an A-rank contract spirit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One tragic figure after another appeared on screen. Down below, Tang Lie and the others sat frozen in their seats...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CHEN SHU! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Long was the first to shoot to his feet, eyes blazing with shock and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, wasn't this just great. Now the entire city knew their lives were like a tea table — absolutely covered in cups.[1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu hadn't expected this either. Out of the entire video, this was the ONE segment that could air normally...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out he actually spoke proper Mandarin when he was complimenting people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the murderous glares from Tang Lie and the others, Chen Shu put on his most sincere face: \"At least you guys are the positive characters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was praising you! Couldn't you tell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh... heh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group clenched their fists, barely restraining themselves from throwing punches right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lie in particular was boiling with rage. Chen Shu had actually told the entire world about the crotch fire incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, Chen Shu casually fidgeted with his backpack, \"accidentally\" letting the corner of his urea bag peek out...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lie and the others felt their hearts seize. Sanity returned instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... just you wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Long dropped a single threatening line, then was the first to sit down obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lie took a deep breath. \"Don't look down on a young man just because he's poor!\"[2]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he and Wang Yun sat down as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu flashed a grin and replied coolly: \"No worries, Young Master Tang. We've also got 'Don't mock the middle-aged poor,' 'Don't mock the elderly poor,' and of course, 'Respect the dead'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage, the principal's jaw had hit the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have imagined? Tang Lie and the others — students hailed as geniuses — were getting beaten up on a daily basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time crawled by, and the video segment finally ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal stood at the podium, his expression a complicated mess. He stepped forward and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sure you all saw Chen Shu's... uh... forget it. Assembly dismissed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire student body sank into stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal's carefully prepared speech had been rendered completely useless. He'd expected Chen Shu to inspire the students with positive energy. The result was the exact opposite...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the endless telegram beeps, all they'd gotten was a highlight reel of Du Long and company's greatest humiliations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang was about to lead the Special Training Class back to the arena when, unexpectedly, the principal called out to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all head back first. Self-study! Especially you, Chen Shu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu shrugged. What do you mean \"especially me\"? I have the highest grades in the class, thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group returned to the Special Training Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Long and the others kept their eyes locked on Chen Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If looks could kill, Chen Shu would have died a thousand deaths by now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't rest until I have my revenge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lie muttered to Wang Yun and the others under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could practically feel the stares of strangers boring into his crotch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu met their glares with a level gaze. \"Keep staring and I'll beat the hell out of all of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Long and the others twitched. This guy is unbelievably arrogant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, their brains could think whatever they wanted. Their bodies were far more honest — every pair of eyes immediately snapped forward, not daring to look at Chen Shu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Shen, I think you need to get Chen Shu's personality under control. Our school is supposed to be producing outstanding students!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal spoke with the weight of a man carrying the world on his shoulders. \"I don't want Nanjiang Second High producing a bandit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang said nothing. He simply looked at the principal with a deeply meaningful gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't say a single word, but the message came through loud and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's personality — you think that's something a person can change?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The strong are allowed to be a little... eccentric. Maybe Chen Shu will make Nanjiang Second High's name ring across the entire country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang gave the principal a consoling pat on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, whether that name would ring for good reasons or bad reasons was anyone's guess...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eternal fame versus eternal infamy — Chen Shu was clearly better suited for the latter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principal, look on the bright side. At least Chen Shu's grades are excellent. With his strength, he's guaranteed at least a spot at a top university.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal could only nod. At worst, Chen Shu would single-handedly raise this year's senior class average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, it's now November. I trust your practical combat abilities have improved considerably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang surveyed the class. \"We're now entering the cultivation phase!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cultivation period will last two months. There will be only one competition during this time — but with double the prize money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu raised an eyebrow from below. Isn't this my weak point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two months. Whoever improves their Beast Tamer level the most takes first place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this announcement, fighting spirit blazed across every face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lie and the others turned their gazes toward Chen Shu, their expressions screaming two words: NOT. SATISFIED.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At long last, they'd arrived at their area of strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's Beast Taming talent was only Common. His cultivation speed was laughably slow — he couldn't possibly compete with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... everyone had conveniently forgotten that Chen Shu still held the highest Beast Tamer level in the entire class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The training location won't be here at the arena. The ambient spiritual energy here is far too thin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang led everyone out of the Beast Taming Arena. A bus was already waiting outside the school gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell me we're going to an Alternate Dimension?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu spoke up, a glint of excitement in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fat chance. Frost Canyon is completely locked down right now. I wouldn't dare bring you there again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched — a clear you know damn well why expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, the bus rolled north, arriving at the suburbs on the city's edge. It finally pulled to a stop in front of a cluster of buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang led the group off the bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's eyes darted around. The first thing he spotted was a massive boulder sitting in front of the building complex. Painted on it in red letters:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Best Beast Taming Dojo in the City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at this devastatingly literal name, Chen Shu was rendered completely speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really nailed it with the naming, huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang led them into the dojo, said something to the receptionist at the entrance, and guided the group deeper into the complex. They eventually arrived at a cultivation chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber was completely empty. Vast and barren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting tomorrow, no more lectures. You have one task each day: cultivate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang continued: \"This is the highest-grade cultivation chamber in the city. The daily rental is a hundred thousand yuan! I hope you'll make the most of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every school's Special Training Class had a dedicated cultivation period, specifically for boosting Beast Tamer levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you wanted to get into a Huaxia Academy, Level 9 Beast Tamer was the baseline!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang then explained the dojo's various features and gave them a tour of the facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By evening, the group returned to school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike everyone else's excitement, Chen Shu looked thoroughly deflated. His eyes radiated pure misery and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating every single day — even a dog wouldn't do something this boring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1] \"Life is like a tea table, covered in cups\" (杯具\u002F悲剧): A classic 2009-era Chinese internet meme. 杯具 (bēi jù, \"cups\") is a homophone for 悲剧 (bēi jù, \"tragedy\"). The full meme — \"Life is like a tea table, covered in cups (tragedies)\" — parodies the dramatic literary tradition of comparing life to everyday objects. It went mega-viral after historian Yi Zhongtian's \"How tragic!\" clip spread online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[2] \"Don't look down on a young man just because he's poor!\" (莫欺少年穷): A Qing Dynasty proverb made iconic by the webnovel Battle Through the Heavens, where the underdog protagonist uses it as a declaration of future greatness.
