Chapter 68: Chapter 58: It’s You Who Forced Me!
Translator: 549690339
All eyes were focused on Chen Fan.
Chen Fan felt quite helpless.
Although he had become an “Imperial City resident” and was considered an “Imperial City genius” by many, he no longer had to worry about certain troubles.
But to dash into the spotlight and become the center of attention for everyone was not his intention.
They say the bird that sticks its head out gets shot first…
Why not let Chu Xuan and the others be that bird?
Chen Fan raised his head with grief and said, “Teacher, I think I have a stomachache, I need to go to the bathroom!”
All classmates:
“What’s the matter with him? He can still come up with such a clichéd excuse?”
“They let you try to contract with the Guardian Beast next to you, aren’t you happy?
“Chen Fan, stop wasting time and hurry up. It’s not like they’re sending you to the execution ground, what are you dawdling for!”
“This guy has a problem… everyone, keep an eye on him. Don’t let him run away!”
“Hurry up, you already have three Guardian Beasts. Go up there and fail once to entertain us!”
“Right, right! This guy keeps pushing and stalling. He’s just afraid he’ll fail once he gets up there!”
A group of students started to make a racket.
Of course, some people were jealous, but most of them were just making friendly jokes.
Shi Qingyi smiled and nodded, “Go ahead, we’ll wait for you, and we’ll start the contract array when you get back.”
Chen Fan:
He had a feeling that something was wrong with this woman.
Why wouldn’t she let him go?
Forget it; let’s just sign the contract.
So what if he became the first genius in the three major academies to contract with four Guardian Beasts?
You guys forced me to show off!
You guys forced me to crush you!
Chen Fan pulled a long face and said, “My stomach suddenly doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Helplessly, he and the Red-eyed Shadow Ape walked up to the podium.
Shi Qingyi nodded slightly at the Red-eyed Shadow Ape.
The Red-eyed Shadow Ape smiled politely and nodded in return.
The students were all fired up…
This Guardian Beast was too smart and too well-behaved, right?
In fact, Chen Fan was also speechless…
Elder Ape was obviously a shadow-type, with skills suitable for assassination and stealth attacks; why was it so positive and energetic?
In Chen Fan’s imagination, shadow-type people or Guardian Beasts should be short, thin, and greasy-looking, lurking in dark corners all day long, always ready to harm someone.
But Elder Ape was polite to people, smiling brightly, and even studied quietly like a good student…
Wasn’t this contrast a bit too much?
Chen Fan and Elder Ape faced each other, following Shi Qingyi’s guidance step by step to start the Contract Array.
Teacher Shi was so responsible… she immediately corrected any mistakes Chen
Fan made.
Chen Fan couldn’t even get away with it.
Under her guidance, the originally complicated contract signing process went surprisingly smoothly.
Two Contracting Arrays appeared, and the contracts were formed.
Chen Fan, who originally had a goofy expression, turned serious and looked at the Red-eyed Shadow Ape, “Elder Ape, let’s sign the contract.”
All classmates:
Wasn’t this guy being too childish?
When signing contracts with Guardian Beasts, you need to communicate with them with your mind after the contract is formed and gain their trust!
Many times, Beastmasters even have to make some promises to let the Guardian Beast truly trust and rely on them!
You just say… let’s sign the contract?
Do you think the Guardian Beast is an idiot?
Aren’t you afraid of getting slapped by the Guardian Beast?
Then everyone saw…
Elder Ape smiled, nodded, and gently touched the contract with its paw.
Contract signed successfully!
Chen Fan’s body trembled as he accepted the power from the Red-eyed Shadow Ape!
A whirlwind formed around his body, blowing dust all over the classroom, making a group of students cough and cry out in pain!
“This jerk…”
Students covered their noses and laughed while cursing.
With the dust settled, the classroom quieted down.
Many people stared blankly at Chen Fan on the podium.
This damned guy…
Contracting a Guardian Beast was too easy, right?
With more than sixty students in the class, many had just failed after trying to sign a contract!
He already had three Guardian Beasts, and now he’s succeeded with the fourth one, just like that?
Wait a minute, that’s not right!
Even if the Guardian Beast agreed, Chen Fan, who already had three Guardian Beasts, shouldn’t have succeeded so easily, right?
Wasn’t the number of Guardian Beasts closely related to the strength of a Beastmaster?
Wasn’t it said that contracting with Guardian Beasts required the support of a
Beastmaster’s strength and soul force?
How could the Beastmaster’s Space of an ordinary low-level Beastmaster support four Guardian Beasts?
Chu Xuan and the others had already reached the First Rank Five Heavens, just one step away from the Grade 2 Realm, and they could only possess three Guardian Beasts now, right?
In the large classroom, silence prevailed.
Even Shi Qingyi couldn’t hide the disbelief in her eyes.
She indeed just wanted Chen Fan to give it a try and didn’t genuinely think he could succeed.
But…
He actually succeeded!
The first student among the three Academy to sign contracts with four Guardian Beasts!
Even with talents as incredible as Chu Xuan and Fang Qingqing, they only have three Guardian Beasts now.
But Chen Fan now has four Guardian Beasts!
After Shi Qingyi silenced the crowd, she stepped out of the classroom and called Mr. Li Sheng and the Director of Instruction in the hallway.
Shortly after the call, Li Sheng and the Director of Instruction appeared at the entrance of Class Five.
Another commotion ensued.
The teachers and students from other classes all came to watch the excitement. From one to ten, ten to a hundred…
Word quickly spread throughout the school about Chen Fan coming from the Imperial City with his extraordinary talents.
“Hahahaha!”
Li Sheng laughed wildly, delighted: “See? This is the student I’ve taught!”
A group of teachers cast sidelong glances.
You have the nerve!
Can you actually say that he’s a student you’ve taught?
At most, you only taught him one class!
But Li Sheng didn’t care; he walked proudly back and forth among the group of teachers, like a rooster that laid an egg.
This made the teachers so angry that they wanted to beat him up.
That day at Guidance Plaza, this fellow snatched Chen Fan, all thanks to having the Director of Instruction as his brother-in-law.
And now he’s so outrageous!
But the chaotic scene was eventually suppressed by the Director of Instruction:
“Disperse, disperse, go back to class!”
In the crowd, Fang Qingqing fiercely glared at Chen Fan.
She felt that she had been tricked by him again.
Initially, he deceived her by saying he was from outside…she had no idea that by “outside,” he meant the Imperial City!
Fang Qingqing also remembered the day when Chen Fan approached her about raising beasts, acting all sneaky and sleazy, like a scammer…
She felt that her 160,000 union coins were probably as good as gone.
Chen Fan also saw Fang Qingqing in the crowd and felt the sharpness of her gaze.
However, he had a thick skin and pretended not to see, calmly averting his eyes.
Fang Qingqing got even angrier.
At this moment, the teachers began to call on the students of each class to return to their lessons.
Chen Fan let Elder Ape enter the Beastmaster’s Space and returned to his seat.
A group of classmates stared at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan also became angry: “What are you looking at? Weren’t you the ones who forced me to provoke you?”
“You forced me to show off!”
“Am I the kind of person who likes to show off?”
“I’m so pure, kind, and low-key… I was clearly driven to this by you guys!”
“Now you’re feeling attacked, huh?”
“You deserve it!”
“Damn, this showoff is so annoying!” All the classmates in the class were furious, laughing and cursing, throwing paper balls and fruit peels at Chen
Fan.
Chen Fan reached out and caught each of the items thrown at him.
“Smack!”
Chen Fan suddenly paused and looked at the half cucumber he just caught, stammering: “Which female classmate threw her boyfriend over?”
The classroom instantly erupted into chaos.
Even Teacher Shi Qingyi couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
In the hallway, Li Sheng was very satisfied: “The atmosphere in our Class Five is always this good. Truly excellent!”
In the Beastmaster’s Space…
Snowy and Feicui came over, curious about Elder Ape, and walked around him a few times.
Gangzi didn’t come over.
Besides Snowy and Feicui, Gangzi wasn’t very close to other Guardian Beasts.
Seeing Elder Ape appear in the Beastmaster’s Space, Gangzi even became tense and moved in front of Feicui.
But Elder Ape had an extremely peculiar temperament…
Although an shadow-type Guardian Beast, it exuded a sunny aura and wore a smile like a spring breeze.
Chen Fan hadn’t even had the chance to introduce him to the three little ones, and Feicui was already playing with Elder Ape.
Snowy quickly accepted him as a companion as well.
Although Gangzi was still a bit shy, he didn’t feel any hostility or nervousness anymore.
Chen Fan squinted, quietly observing the scene in the Beastmaster’s Space and nodding in satisfaction.
I’ll go find Mr. Li Sheng later to urge him about the school’s 80,000 yuan subsidy.
Once the money is obtained, I’ll look for materials to help Elder Ape upgrade tonight and try to get him to Level 4 as soon as possible.
A shadow-type Guardian Beast…
With those skills of Elder Ape, combined with Snowy and the others, I feel like we could instantly crush a Level 5 Guardian Beast!
Chen Fan was looking forward to this combination.
“I’ll go to the Beast Cultivator Association after school this afternoon to have a good test of their skills.”
“After helping them practice a few more skills, I’ll study their coordination and combination techniques..”
