Not even wings could save him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You forced me into this, Old Shen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu returned to his original spot, lay flat on his back, and opened the urea bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He popped a Beast Taming Pearl into his mouth, and a surge of Beast Taming Power immediately coursed through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm... now THAT'S an easy way to cultivate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu stretched lazily, smacking his lips all the while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the people around him acted as though they hadn't heard a thing, continuing their cultivation undisturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap, they're THIS composed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu got up and walked over to each person. No matter what he said, nobody reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I just beat someone up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin, locking his gaze onto Tang Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a massive snake head appeared outside the window, as if issuing a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Violence was never really my thing anyway. Guess I'll have to find another approach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he abandoned that option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's see what you can do about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang smirked, confident that as long as nobody paid Chen Shu any attention, he'd eventually get bored and start cultivating on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Black-White Python can keep an eye on you for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang headed off toward the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chen Shu was already rummaging through his backpack. He pulled out... a portable barbecue grill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came charcoal, alcohol, metal skewers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His assembly speed was terrifyingly practiced. Within minutes, the entire BBQ setup was ready to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grilled Beast Taming Pearls, love eating 'em, the sooner you die the more you should eat, if you don't eat now you'll never get the chance again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu hummed his little tune as he laid the skewers across the grill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charcoal blazed furiously. Smoke billowed outward, completely overpowering the ambient spiritual energy that permeated the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, the Black-White Python could only stare at Chen Shu in blank confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its limited intelligence, comprehending this level of absurdity was simply beyond its capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind a contract spirit — even an ordinary person would've been completely dumbfounded by this scene...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough... cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Sunan and Xu Xingxing were closest, and the smoke choked them awake almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two of them spotted Chen Shu through the haze, their eyes went wide, as though witnessing something that defied all human decency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit! You're BBQ'ing in the Beast Taming Dojo?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Sunan's mouth twitched. He'd underestimated Chen Shu's capacity for absurdity yet again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You truly know no fear...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing was equally stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very next second, he leaned in. \"Did you bring meat skewers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the smoke had spread everywhere. Students woke up one after another, forcibly jolted out of their cultivation state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't cause any lasting damage, but nobody was happy about it — like being slapped across the face in the middle of a deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Shu, what the hell are you up to NOW?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Bing stared at Chen Shu through the smoke, dark lines running across her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly realized that Chen Shu's absurdity truly had no lower bound...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what he did at this point, it qualified as normal behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu looked up and saw smoke swirling in every direction, as though he'd stumbled into some ethereal fairyland...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the f—?! What kind of charcoal IS this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized something was very wrong. He could barely even see the people around him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke was spreading at an unimaginable rate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is bad! If Old Shen finds out, he'll bury me on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Pi, something's not right — put the fire out first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing casually grabbed a bottle, worried that Chen Shu was about to burn down the entire dojo...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu took it and immediately doused the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the fire surged upward in a roaring blaze...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding me?! Why the hell did you hand me ALCOHOL?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's eyes nearly popped out of his skull as he let loose a furious curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing was just as shocked. \"I just grabbed whatever was closest! Who the hell brings alcohol on a field trip?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, flames erupted, smoke engulfed everything, and alarms blared from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene descended into total chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students stampeded toward the exit, not daring to waste another second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Xia Bing, don't run! Use your Ice Wolf to put out the fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nobody heard him. The cultivation chamber was empty save for Chen Shu himself...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screw it, I'm running too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu grabbed his backpack and urea bag and bolted for the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang had just emerged from the bathroom. Even from a distance, he could see the smoke pouring from the cultivation chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? The dojo's spiritual energy has gotten THIS dense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow — and immediately spotted Chen Shu making a break for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Pi, freeze!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuming the kid was trying to escape, Shen Wushuang grabbed him with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Shen, forget about me — put out the fire! The dojo's about to go up in flames!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang's mind went blank. Then he saw the blaze raging inside the cultivation chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression shifted to alarm. He summoned his Ice Phoenix and effortlessly extinguished the fire with a single skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thick smoke stubbornly refused to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the dojo's staff arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them left the building, and everyone else in the complex filed outside as well. Smoke still cloaked the fifth-floor cultivation chamber like a shroud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened? How did a fire break out all of a sudden?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been here for years and never seen anything like this. Absolutely bizarre!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bet someone did it on purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit — who would set a fire inside a Beast Taming Dojo?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd buzzed with speculation, baffled by the fire's origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Special Training Class students kept their eyes locked on Chen Shu, demanding an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu, however, showed no sign of panic. He clenched his fists lightly and assumed an expression of righteous indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How despicable! If I catch that arsonist...!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really are something else, you know that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyu, tell me what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang turned to Xu Xiaoyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. He smiled warmly. \"Chen Pi, if you try to run, I'll bury you right here and now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh... heh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu let out a dry laugh and stopped in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, Shen Wushuang's expression had become indescribable — caught somewhere between a smile and a grimace, between laughter and rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You BBQ'd in the Beast Taming Dojo?! Why don't you try a gas station next time?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang glared at Chen Shu, his eyes brimming with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu looked as though he'd just received divine inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... I've BBQ'd in an Alternate Dimension, and I've BBQ'd in a public toilet, but I actually haven't tried a gas station yet — thanks for the suggestion, Teacher! I'll head there right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Chen Shu scampered off toward the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FREEZE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang snatched the fleeing Chen Shu by the collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Shen, I'll pay! I'll pay whatever it costs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu knew there was no escaping this one. He could only accept his fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Every last yuan of the damages is coming out of YOUR pocket!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu agreed without hesitation. As long as money could make this go away, he didn't care how much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, the dojo had sorted everything out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Chen Shu paid a whopping 300,000 yuan in damages. The spiritual energy absorption equipment was involved, so naturally the cost was astronomical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, he'd been successfully added to the blacklist of \"The Best Beast Taming Dojo in the City\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! One BBQ session cost me 300,000 yuan! That's absolutely absurd!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu couldn't help but grumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YOU think it's absurd?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched. In all his years, he'd truly never met someone who'd BBQ'd inside a cultivation chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd gone to the bathroom for five minutes, and the entire dojo nearly burned down. Who the hell was he supposed to complain to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Shu, step outside with me. Everyone else, continue your cultivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu hung his head and shuffled out of the cultivation chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang asked: \"You really don't want to cultivate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have the talent. I can't even achieve the most basic meditative state.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how did your Beast Tamer level get so high?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... by courting death...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By WHAT?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He honestly had no idea how to explain the source of his Beast Taming Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Shen, I promise! By the end of the year at the latest, I'll definitely be a Level 9 Beast Tamer! Can't you just let me go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang rubbed his chin. \"So what are you planning to do for these two months?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't change the entire teaching schedule for one student. Besides, dedicated cultivation was a mandatory course for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've got my own plans. I guarantee that in two months, I'll be a Level 9 Beast Tamer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang thought it over for a moment. \"Fine. I'll trust you one more time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also — whatever happens out there, do NOT drop my name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang added this warning. The last thing he needed was to get dragged away by the Spirit Suppression Bureau in the middle of a lecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely no problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu agreed instantly, making the promise without a shred of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New recipe unlocked: Endurance Potion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey had been convoluted, but the destination was exactly where he'd wanted to be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Shen Wushuang hadn't wanted to let Chen Shu off this easily. But the kid was already on the dojo's blacklist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he insisted on keeping him around, they'd have to pay a \"risk fee\" of 10,000 yuan per day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu slung on his backpack and strode out of the Beast Taming Dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid really is a goddamn legend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang had only known Chen Shu for a little over two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the memories were already burned deep — he'd probably never forget them for the rest of his life...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he'd lost 300,000 yuan, Chen Shu had added yet another bold stroke to his absurd life...\u003C\u002Fp>",1801,"2026-06-05T16:05:11.490Z",1,"novelbin.me","58ad4e1b2560e5ec30b2c2d349d432d646ae638511a5fc1e44e56f810f75b8d8","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-162","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-160",167,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fit-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--cover.jpg"]
