It got BIGGER AGAIN?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single person in the Special Training Class stared with eyes blown wide, drowning in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime before them had swelled to roughly twenty meters — the size of a small building. The sheer pressure radiating off it was suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched. He understood immediately — this little bastard was trying to intimidate people again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But credit where credit was due: the Slime really was absurd. It was only a Level 9 contract spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Shu ever reached Gold rank — or even King rank — who could survive a single Violent Sitting Kill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang spoke up. \"Chen Shu, why are you summoning your contract spirit out of nowhere? Put it away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu recalled the Slime back into his Beast Taming Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, Du Long — what were you about to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Long swallowed hard. A stiff, wooden smile forced its way onto his face. \"I think the rankings are... perfectly reasonable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Earth Sub-Dragon really did look like an oversized worm next to that thing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! Since there are no objections, I'll distribute the rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang nodded. He knew full well what Du Long had been about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Shu's improvement had been the greatest — that was simply indisputable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd also looked into the reason behind Chen Shu's explosive progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kid had straight-up consumed fifty million yuan worth of Beast Taming Pearls. No sane person would ever do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to that, the school's two million yuan reward looked rather... insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Shen Wushuang finished distributing all the rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow is New Year's Day! You're all free to go home and rest for three days!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, smiles broke out across the classroom, hearts quietly soaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the class had perfectly normal priorities: study — vacation — college entrance exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Chen Shu was different. His mind held just two words: Stir trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang continued. \"The January competition will serve as this semester's final exam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, third-year students would get a ten-day break in February, then dive straight into the second semester of senior year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that would mark the darkness before the dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"January's content will once again be live combat! I'll be taking everyone to Daxing City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wushuang announced, \"You'll be staying in a Daxing City hotel for an entire month, participating in the Spirit Fighting Arena and battling Beast Tamers from all over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We depart in three days. Pack your bags and gear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's eyebrows rose slightly, a spark of excitement flickering in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd heard of the Spirit Fighting Arena a long time ago but had never gotten to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat skills were critically important for Beast Tamers, but cities banned the use of contract spirits, and venturing into Alternate Dimensions was too dangerous — one wrong step could cost you your life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so the government-established Spirit Fighting Arena was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To boost its popularity, the government ran monthly rankings and handed out special rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not every city had its own arena. Instead, four or five cities would share one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most prosperous city near Nanjiang happened to be Daxing City, so that's where it was built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qinghan, you've got experience with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu sidled up to Wang Qinghan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when she was paying off her loans, Wang Qinghan had participated in the Underground Spirit Fighting Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a privately run venue, catering mainly to rich spectators looking for entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qinghan shook her head without elaborating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underground arena was far more dangerous than the official one — contract spirits could actually die in there. Even now, the memory sent chills down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qinghan suddenly spoke up. \"By the way, Chen Shu, are you free tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, his tone noncommittal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qinghan was momentarily speechless. \"What do you mean, you 'should be'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu had no choice but to explain. \"If it's good news, then yes I'm free. If it's trouble, well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We want to take you out for dinner tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'We'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu zeroed in on the keyword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Us too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoyu and Xia Bing walked over with their bags slung over their shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you guys about to ask me for a favor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's expression turned wary, and he executed one strategic backward leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoyu explained, \"It's nothing like that. Today's the last day of the year, and you've helped all of us before, so we wanted to treat you to dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu might be unreliable, but he genuinely had helped all three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when Xu Xiaoyu ran into murderers at the black market, Chen Shu stepped in to save her — though his real motive was the System reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xia Bing was short on cash at the end of the semester, Chen Shu had generously lent her money — though he'd charged interest and made her write a two-thousand-word argumentative essay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Wang Qinghan's little sister was being bullied, Chen Shu had stood up for her and set the bully straight — though now her little sister's personality had taken a distinctly violent turn...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside all the negative side effects, Chen Shu really had helped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case — yes I'm free. Extremely free,\" Chen Shu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoyu noticed Xu Xingxing and Xie Sunan off to the side, rummaging through their bags for something, seemingly trying to look casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just about to invite them—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two of them suddenly sprang to their feet and trotted over, practically bouncing with eagerness, holding... bowls and chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she knew what they'd been digging for in their bags...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's get going!\" Xu Xingxing urged. \"Time waits for no man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoyu was completely stunned. \"You three are really...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She racked her brain for a good while but couldn't find a single adjective that fit, so she gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the group left the school together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at a hotpot restaurant in the city center, where a private room had been reserved in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanna sit next to Big Brother Chen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qinghan's little sister scurried to Chen Shu's side, her eyes practically glowing with adoration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Qingxue, has anyone at school been bullying you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu patted her head as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qingxue beamed. \"Not anymore! Thank you, Big Brother Chen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. And if anyone ever bullies you again, punch 'em. Got it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu held forth with grand authority, relentlessly drilling his philosophy into her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else's mouths twitched as they listened, especially Wang Qinghan, who was already starting to regret this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a creeping feeling that bringing her sister along had been a mistake...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others dismissed it as nonsense, but Wang Qingxue listened with deadly seriousness, engraving every word into memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's words were like a seed, taking deep root in Wang Qingxue's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Shu, what are you trying to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qinghan pulled her sister into her arms, terrified of any further contamination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu put on his most innocent expression. \"I'm about to graduate, but the legacy of Nanjiang Second High must not die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire table was instantly speechless. The Bandit Legacy, huh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So THAT'S what you've been scheming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qinghan had poured enormous resources into cultivating Wang Qingxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a feeling her sister's talent far surpassed her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Shu really did corrupt her... Nanjiang City might just end up with another Bandit on its hands.\u003C\u002Fp>",1321,"2026-06-05T16:05:11.490Z",1,"novelbin.me","877475c80b1ef9857d487c95b7819c3388b3086d0f886e4c7d34c0ed861f19c5","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-101","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-166","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fit-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--cover.jpg"]
