Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 104 The Boy Carries the Coffin

June 12, 1021 (Water Calendar)

It was 6 a.m., and it was drizzling.

As soon as it was light, a large number of Fuzhou residents got up and went out to wait on the main road.

People remained silent, letting the rain soak them without making a sound.

As more and more people gathered around the main road from all directions, there wasn't enough space, so they climbed onto the surrounding houses, trees, and utility poles...

People are like rivers flowing into the same stream, diverse yet orderly.

People are waiting; today is the funeral of the Imperial Palace Commander.

The palace eunuch will be buried around the city of Rong before being laid to rest.

At 8 a.m., the light rain turned into moderate rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier, making the sky and earth dark.

But the number of people gathering around the main road was increasing, densely packed, like swarms of black ants.

People stood silently in the heavy rain, like silent statues.

On the roof of a residential building, a group of teenagers appeared silently.

Standing at the front was Jiang Chen, whose right hand was bandaged. Behind him were Nangong Yan, Geng Ben, Zhang Caiying, and other examinees. Xie Enze was also there.

The crowd stood on the rooftop, gazing silently at the city lord's mansion in the distance.

Jiang Chen and the others also came to see the Palace Lord off on his final journey.

Many of the candidates present were already Level 2 Beast Tamers, capable of using the Human-Beast Fusion skill to ward off the rain, but no one did so.

Everyone let the rain fall on their heads, faces, and clothes, and finally into their hearts.

At 9 a.m., there were even more people. The city was almost deserted as everyone gathered on the main road of Fuzhou.

A vast, dark mass stretched out, twisting and turning along the main road.

It's exactly 9:30.

With a heavy clang, it seemed that there was movement coming from the city lord's mansion.

Then a group of people walked out of the city lord's mansion.

Upon hearing the conch shell sound, the people around the main road immediately became agitated, but quickly quieted down.

The world was silent, with a "thud" sound every few seconds.

Jiang Chen stood on the rooftop, feeling his heartbeat and silence in sync with the sound of the conch shell.

"Waaaaah!"

"Waaaaah!"

As the funeral procession approached, the previously silent citizens could no longer suppress their emotions, and a chorus of mournful sobs erupted, filling the air with cries.

Tears streamed down Jiang Chen's face, quickly mingling with the rain and becoming indistinguishable from each other.

"It's...it's Gong Hao!"

As the funeral procession approached, someone in the group of examinees suddenly let out a low gasp.

Jiang Chen looked at the funeral procession in surprise. At the very front of the procession, a young man had lost his glasses and was carrying a heavy, huge, dark red lacquered coffin with a hunched back.

This young man was none other than Gong Hao.

The coffin was covered with a golden national flag, the flag of the Dragon Kingdom: a five-clawed dragon soaring majestically in the clouds.

Gong Hao's small, thin body contrasted sharply with the enormous coffin, making him look like an ant about to be crushed by a large rock.

But he clenched his jaw and carried his father's body on his back, staggering but resolutely moving forward!

"salute!"

Amidst the shock, Jiang Chen suddenly let out a low shout, raised his right hand, and pierced through the rain!

Everyone paused for a moment, then quickly followed suit and raised their right hands.

The funeral procession moved forward slowly, with the remains of the palace lord at the front, followed by more than a thousand martyrs of the Black Armor Army.

More than a thousand dark red coffins moved slowly along the highway, a scene that was both shocking and heartbreaking.

As the funeral procession slowly disappeared from sight, Jiang Chen bit his lower lip and resolutely left: "I'm leaving, time to cultivate!"

"Before graduation, I'm determined to wipe out the Red Skull Devil Fangfish clan!"

Everyone was shocked and immediately looked up at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

How dare you!

It is said that the chieftain of the Red Skull Devil Fangfish clan is a level six sea beast, a tyrant!

Before graduation, that is, within four years!

Jiang Chen was only a level two Beast Tamer at the time, but he decided to wipe out the Red Skull Demon Fangfish clan within four years.

On average, Jiang Chen would need to be promoted at least once a year to have any chance of fulfilling this promise!

What ambition!

……

On the third day of the national college entrance examination, a time of celebration across the country, the cities of Fuzhou and Huacheng in Lingnan Province were tragically targeted by a conspiracy by the sea creatures.

The city lord of Rongcheng died in battle that day, Huacheng was razed to the ground by the sea tribe, and hundreds of thousands of compatriots were trapped in the sea of ​​fire and turned into wronged souls!

This incident was so egregious that it made headlines across the country that very day!

Since the completion of the national treasure, the Underwater Great Wall, there have been very few instances of the sea creatures massacring human cities. However, today, the tragedy has been repeated, and the entire nation is deeply shocked.

Three days after the Palace Lord's funeral, at the Beast Taming Academy in Ningshui Town.

Early in the morning, Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan were called to the classroom. Then, a man who looked like a human bear pushed open the classroom door and walked up to Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan.

"Teacher Lei San?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised when he saw the old man.

The man in question was none other than Lei San, the refining system teacher from Yingtian Beast Taming Academy who had previously said he would take Jiang Chen as his disciple. He had bronze skin and bulging muscles.

Lei San got straight to the point: "Jiang Chen, Nangong Yan, in recognition of your heroic performance in the defense of Rongcheng, Yingtian Beast Taming Academy has made an exception and admitted you both!"

"Congratulations! From today onwards, you are the new students of Yingtian Beast Taming Academy!"

"Haha, yes, yes!" The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then Nangong Yan's excited voice rang out!

"Thank you, Teacher Lei." Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, then said calmly.

Lei San glanced at Jiang Chen; the child didn't seem particularly surprised or excited.

Right.

Based on Jiang Chen's performance in this college entrance examination, no matter what the third practical test is like, it's a sure thing that he will be admitted to Yingtian Beast Taming Academy.

This result was naturally within his expectations.

Nangong Yan's performance in the final battle to defend Rongcheng was also outstanding. He had mastered several skills and fought bravely. It would not be unreasonable for Yingtian Academy to give him a spot.

"What about Gong Hao, Xie Enze, Geng Ben, and the others?" Jiang Chen asked, inquiring about the other people's assessment results.

"Gong Hao and Xie Enze were also directly admitted, and other teachers have already notified them."

Lei San replied, "Your classmates Geng Ben, Shi Shan, and Zhang Caiying are also quite capable, having already reached the passing grade. They also contributed to the defense of Rongcheng this time, so as long as they pass the make-up exam, they can also smoothly enter Yingtian Academy."

"The school will give priority to any candidate who has contributed to the defense of Fuzhou!"

"After all, compared to a beast tamer's cultivation level and strength, noble qualities such as courage, responsibility, and selfless dedication are more valued!"

Jiang Chen's heart tightened: "I thank you on their behalf."

Lei San said, "No, they deserve it!"
