Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 155 Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun Advance to the Extraordinary Level (2nd Update, 10,000 Words, Please Subscribe)

The "pearl" in the "pearl-nurturing pool" refers to the sea spirit pearl.

For humans, the Sea Spirit Pearl is an important cultivation resource, and the same is true for the sea race.

The original form of a sea pearl is a sea pearl, so sea pearls can be cultivated and grown using traditional sea pearl farming methods.

The principle behind pearl formation is quite simple: when a foreign object enters the shell, the mollusc secretes layers of nacre to protect itself, thus creating a pearl.

Once you understand the principle, pearl making becomes very simple. This was already mastered in the ancient Han Dynasty, and the Hepu pearls of the Han Dynasty were renowned.

First, find a calm place with little wind and waves, rich in nutrients, suitable for shellfish to grow.

Then, as the shell grows, a slit is opened in the clam shell, and a pearl nucleus carved from the shell is inserted into the live clam to grow into a pearl.

The Sea Spirit Pearl is a further development of pearls, born from absorbing the spiritual energy of seawater.

The more spiritual energy a pearl absorbs, the higher its grade, the purer the spiritual energy it gathers, and the more suitable it is for cultivation by humans and sea creatures.

Therefore, the pearl-raising pond is a very important strategic location for both humans and sea creatures!

"Principal, you've uncovered such an important and hidden location?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

"It's just a small pearl culture pond," Jiang Henian shook his head slightly, "so it's a good opportunity for you to practice."

"The clue wasn't provided by me, but by the military."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized that it was given by the military. No wonder Jiang Henian knew about such a secret place.

For the military, a strategic location like the pearl-raising pond would definitely be destroyed upon discovery, as it would effectively weaken the strength of the sea creatures.

However, since it was a small-scale operation, it would be more convenient to entrust it to Jiang Henian and the Yingtian Beast Taming Academy.

"I was just thinking about what mission to assign you, and this mission comes at just the right time."

Jiang Henian said, "Constantly secluded cultivation will only make you a theorist, turning you into a hothouse flower. Therefore, entering the desolate sea for trials and fighting against the sea creatures is an unavoidable part, understand?"

"Principal, I understand." Jiang Chen nodded.

Jiang Chen watched the soldiers and beast tamers hurrying along the underwater Great Wall, feeling the chilling and solemn atmosphere in the air. A thought struck him, and he asked with some curiosity:

"Principal, the Red Skull Devil Fangfish are constantly harassing our front lines. Why don't you send me to the front lines to gain some experience?"

If Jiang Henian hadn't given him the mission to raid the pearl-raising pond, Jiang Chen might indeed have gone to the front lines and fought the Red Skull Devil Fang Fish in a real battle.

Jiang Henian laughed, "It's precisely because the Red Skull Devil Fang Fish has been constantly harassing our defenses lately that I'm having you destroy its pearl-nurturing pond and curb its arrogance!"

"Going to the front lines is fine, but it's a bit too early for you."

"A bit early?" Jiang Chen was taken aback.

It's getting late. Ordinary soldiers are usually only level two beast tamers, but Jiang Chen is already level three. If he really joins the army, he could easily get a position.

Jiang Henian's expression darkened slightly as if he had thought of something. He slowly said, "Lei San should have told you about your deceased senior brothers and sisters, right?"

Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and he said softly, "Yes."

"With your brain, you should know why, right?"

"I've got it."

"That's right, it's a Spirit Martial Technique!"

Jiang Henian said in a low voice, "In fact, in recent years, not only have my disciples been assassinated, but many other body cultivators have also been assassinated!"

"And the reason they were assassinated was the same: they had learned spiritual martial arts techniques!"

"The sea creatures fear our [God-Slaying Technique]!"

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat; just as he thought!

After hearing Lei San's account, Jiang Chen already had a guess in his mind.

After checking some more information, his guess was indeed confirmed.

All of Jiang Henian's deceased disciples shared a common characteristic: they had all mastered spiritual martial arts techniques!

This secret technique that can elevate skill levels is simply too powerful!

Once mastered, combat power can be qualitatively improved. It is perfectly normal for the sea tribes to be wary of the large-scale spread and emergence of spiritual martial arts techniques.

Jiang Henian turned to look at Jiang Chen, his tone serious: "Do you know that in the [Nether River Palace], your head is currently worth 5 mid-grade Sea Spirit Pearls!"

"So don't be fooled by the fact that you seem to be doing well at school right now; there are already many dark beast tamers eyeing you!"

what?

Jiang Chen paused, realizing that five mid-grade Sea Spirit Pearls, each worth one million, would amount to five million!

Jiang Chen was shocked. Was his head really that valuable?

Keep in mind that a late-stage level 4 commander sea beast only costs 6 million, yet his head is comparable to that of a late-stage commander sea beast!

This Styx Palace is a truly grand project!

The so-called "Netherworld Palace" is a notorious bounty location for the sea race.

The sea creatures often post bounties in the Styx Palace, offering various rewards.

Because the issuing body is the sea race, in addition to collecting special evolution materials and gathering intelligence, many tasks are aimed at the human race.

For example, one of the tasks that has consistently ranked in the top ten of the Styx Palace's bounty list over the years is to destroy the underwater Great Wall of the Dragon Kingdom, with a reward of a huge number of Sea Spirit Orbs that are impossible to count.

Such a mission was not intended to find someone to destroy the underwater Great Wall, but rather it was a provocation and insult to the Dragon Kingdom.

The term "Dark Beastmaster" refers to a beastmaster who has betrayed humanity and walks in darkness.

They are willing to sell out their country and the lives of their compatriots for their own benefit.

To humans, the sea creatures may be hateful, but what they truly enrage, despise, and fear are the Dark Beastmasters!

Because such people come from the same human race, yet they betray their own kind.

They are hidden among humans, making them difficult to detect, and extremely difficult to find.

Moreover, because of the bounty offered by the Styx Palace, anyone tempted by the reward could easily turn to the dark side.

Upon hearing Jiang Henian's words, Jiang Chen immediately felt a chill run down his spine...

Behind the scenes, there are probably quite a few people who want to exchange their own heads for money, right?

Gan!

This Styx Palace is such a mess! It turned a nobody like him into a delicious bait in an instant, attracting the attention of all the hunters in the darkness.

Jiang Chen had no doubt that, given the chance, these people would rush up like sharks smelling blood and take a big bite!

Seeing Jiang Chen's drastic change in expression, Jiang Henian smiled wryly and said, "500 million? That's the price after you've mastered the [Golden Body]. If news spreads that you've later contracted the Seven-Star Knife Fish and mastered the spiritual martial skill, the price will at least double!"

What the hell!

Jiang Chen was speechless. He was even willing to offer up his own head to make money!

Jiang Chen asked in bewilderment, "So, the stronger I am, the more dangerous it becomes?"

"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind; this is a risk that geniuses must bear."

Jiang Henian slowly said, "So if you go to the front line now, it will be too conspicuous. Moreover, there are many soldiers on the front line, and it will be difficult to tell who has ulterior motives towards you."

"But we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. If the sea creatures want to kill you, sealing you up for protection is no different from killing you."

"Therefore, some small group tasks are more suitable for you, and they can also help you hone your skills."

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded, Jiang Henian's words made sense.

Jiang Henian continued, "I will verify this lead from the military, and then I will let you carry it out once the intelligence is confirmed."

"This mission should be a four-person mission. I already have three people in mind. I'll arrange for you to meet once I've finalized the selection."

"Take these next few days to prepare."

"Yes, Principal," Jiang Chen replied.

"Oh, right, Principal, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor." Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something else.

"you say."

"It's just that my dad seems to have gone to the front lines to serve in the army again..." Jiang Chen said awkwardly. He had been so focused on disciplining the Seven-Star Knife Fish and forming a contract with it that he had forgotten about this.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Jiang Henian's expression immediately turned serious: "What's your father's name? What does he look like? Do you have a photo?"

"Yes!" Jiang Chen quickly replied, taking out his father Jiang Tao's luminous shell.

"Why did your father come to join the army again?" Jiang Henian asked seriously as he took the light and shadow shell from Jiang Chen.

"A group of his old comrades-in-arms are all here, and I've been busy cultivating all day and haven't paid any attention to him. He was bored and had nowhere to go, so he came back."

"I understand," Jiang Henian nodded. "Don't worry, I'll have Yan Chao transfer your father's company to our academy right away."

"Why go to such lengths?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.

"This is to protect your father."

Jiang Henian sighed softly: "Now that you're being targeted by the Styx Palace, if they can't get their hands on you, where do you think they'll target?"

"My dad!" Jiang Chen exclaimed in shock!

"That's right, that makes sense." Jiang Henian said, "Don't worry, I'll call Yan Chao right now and have him transfer the entire squad your father was in."

Almost without any setbacks, within an hour of Jiang Henian's phone call, the entire 120-person company of Jiang Tao and Nangong He was transferred to the underwater Great Wall area where Yingtian Academy was located.

Jiang Chen once again witnessed the power of Jiang Henian, the principal of Yingtian Academy.

"This is power, understand?" Jiang Henian looked at Jiang Chen earnestly and said, "When you master immense power, the world will make way for you!"

"Once you possess immense power, protecting your loved ones becomes incredibly simple!"

"Thank you, Principal!" Jiang Chen said sincerely.

Jiang Henian is grooming him as his successor, sharing his knowledge without reservation and fulfilling his every request.

The company where Father and Nangong Yan were located was transferred to the underwater Great Wall area of ​​Yingtian Academy, which would fulfill both Father's wish and Jiang Chen's wish.

With many powerful figures from the school guarding Yingtian Academy, my father's safety is undoubtedly much more assured.

Moreover, being transferred to this school makes it very easy for Jiang Chen to see his father.

What seemed like a casual phone call from Jiang Henian was actually a huge favor to Jiang Chen!

"Alright, go and properly train your newly contracted Seven-Star Knife Fish and practice your spiritual martial arts."

Back at school, Jiang Henian said, "I'll go find other candidates for the mission."

"Thank you, Principal!" Jiang Chen said sincerely.

……

Jiang Henian had arranged everything for Jiang Chen, so Jiang Chen naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Upon returning home, Jiang Chen immediately urged Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun to cultivate diligently, even taking out several Sea Spirit Pearls for them to use in their cultivation.

The two beasts are close to advancing to the extraordinary level. It would be best to catch up in the next few days and break through before doing the mission!

The more strength you have, the more secure you will be when venturing into the desolate sea to complete missions.

While supervising the two beasts' cultivation, Jiang Chen summoned the Seven-Star Knife Fish.

It has to be said that after being reprimanded by Jiang Chen four times in a row, the Seven-Star Knife Fish's personality became slightly less fiery.

It swam out of the summoning space, looking at Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun who were cultivating with a mixture of fear and apprehension. Then it swam over to Jiang Chen's side, rubbing its knife-like fish body against Jiang Chen's shoulder, and said excitedly.

"Leader, train me quickly, give me special training, whip me! Don't show me any mercy! I want to become stronger, stronger, stronger!"

"I want to become stronger right now!!!"

Jiang Chen smiled. The Seven Star Knife Fish's attitude was quite good!

His diligent and hardworking attitude, which he enjoys training, is just what balances out Xiao Jiu's tendency to be lazy.

"Xiao Xing, don't worry, let me check your attributes first."

"Leader, my name is Mad Blade, not Little Star!" Upon hearing Jiang Chen call its name, the Seven-Star Knife Fish immediately flew into a rage.

"The name Xiaoxing was given to him by General Yan."

"I don't like it. It's too childish. Mad Blade sounds much better!"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Xiao Kuang."

Seven-star knife fish: "..."

The name Xiao Xing is indeed a bit unpleasant to hear, so I'll call him Xiao Kuang from now on, although Xiao Kuang isn't a very nice name either...

Jiang Chen examined Xiao Kuang's attributes:

[Race] Seven-Star Knife Fish (Little Madman)

[Level] Early Stage of Extraordinary

[Bloodline] Late-stage General

[Skills] Star Blade (Proficient), Rapid Charge (Proficient), Star Slash

Jiang Chen was stunned when he saw the properties of the Seven-Star Knife Fish.

Huh, why are there so few skills? Only 3?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Chen realized what was going on.

It's not that the Seven-Star Knife Fish has too few skills, but rather that Little Nine and Chu Yun have too many!

That's right. Normal pets and sea creatures usually have three or four skills, and some might have five or six.

A disgrace to the pet world, like Chu Yun, the Lighthouse Jellyfish, only had one skill in the early levels: Lighthouse Light!

It was Jiang Chen who added points using the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" that made Chu Yun only have 4 points now!

Xiao Jiu is even more exaggerated, with a total of 7 skills, which completely surpasses the fishing cats of the same level. Even the Three-Tailed Fishing Cat is not as exaggerated as Xiao Jiu.

The Seven-Star Knife Fish Little Madman in front of me only has 3 skills, but all 3 skills are quite powerful.

Star Blade and Rapid Charge are both mid-tier skills, while Star Slash is a no-tier skill.

All three skills have high potential for growth and can be upgraded as the Seven-Star Knife Fish grows.

Looking at Xiao Kuang's attributes, Jiang Chen knew he should allocate points to him first.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and decided to upgrade Xiao Kuang's "Star Blade" and "Rapid Charge" skills to mastery over the next two days. This way, Xiao Kuang would be able to demonstrate considerable strength in the upcoming missions!

Next, Jiang Chen decided to give Xiao Kuang a defensive skill!

The Seven-Star Knife Fish's defense is still too weak. Just like when Jiang Chen subdued it this morning, once Xiao Kuang's figure is captured, it will be useless!

Although the Seven-Star Knife Fish is much faster than other pets of the same level, and it is generally impossible for any sea beast to catch it, you can't be too careful!

The top choice for defensive skills is definitely the body-forging skill of the three Iron-Hearted Brothers.

In fact, during the previous experiment, Jiang Chen also wanted to give Xiao Jiu a body tempering skill so that Xiao Jiu's physical body would become stronger and her defense would be higher.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jiu is not suited to any of the three Iron-Hearted Brothers' body-forging skills.

Jiang Chen also had some doubts about whether the Seven-Star Knife Fish body-forging skill of the three Iron-Hearted Brothers was suitable.

Without saying a word, Jiang Chen summoned the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures," dripped blood into it, and extracted the skill.

However, a scene that really annoyed Jiang Chen appeared...

"Skills and pet do not match, cannot be transferred."

The three brothers' body-forging skills are not applicable to the Seven-Star Knife Fish.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Chen was speechless. This was the skill most suitable for the Seven-Star Knife Fish...

"Wait, there's another kind of sea monster!"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to give up, he suddenly thought of a sea monster.

That is the source of Zhao Ziyi's body-tempering technique: his [Silver Body]!

Jiang Chen had inquired with Jiang Henian and learned that the Martial God Hall currently has three body-forging techniques: the Arhat Body Forging Technique, the Azure Armor Body Forging Technique, and the Vajra Body Forging Technique.

The "Arhat Body Forging Technique" is the simplest, followed by the "Azure Armor Body Forging Technique," and the "Diamond Body Forging Technique" is the most profound.

The more advanced the skill, the easier it is to achieve 100% tempering and thus attain a golden body.

However, the more profound the technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate!

Many body cultivators sometimes choose the most profound "Diamond Body Forging Technique" right away, but as a result, they spend a year or two without making any progress and can only reluctantly choose "Arhat Body Forging Technique" again.

Zhao Ziyi's "Silver Body" is a technique developed and created by the Changshan Zhao Clan, called "Silver Armor Body Forging Technique". The difficulty of cultivating this technique is similar to that of "Azure Armor Body Forging Technique".

However, once the training is completed, the body-strengthening effect can reach an astonishing 75%!

However, the "Azure Armor Body Forging Technique" only has 65%, which is a full 10% higher!

This is a highly valuable cultivation technique.

The "Silver Armor Body Forging Technique" is also on display in the Martial God Hall. The Changshan Zhao Clan's exchange condition is a technique of equal value or a high-grade Sea Spirit Pearl.

You read that right, it's a high-grade Sea Spirit Pearl!

1 million yuan!

"This cultivation technique is really expensive!"

Jiang Chen muttered, but considering that the Changshan Zhao family had spent several years developing this technique, 1 million yuan wasn't too expensive.

It's a pity. If it were someone else, they would probably have to spend money to buy it from the Zhao family of Changshan.

But Jiang Chen didn't need it at all. As far as he knew, this technique was created by the Changshan Zhao family based on the body-forging skills of a sea beast called the Silver-Armored Dragon-Scaled Fish.

So Jiang Chen went straight to the school's logistics area without saying a word and bought several drops of the essence blood of the Silver-Armored Dragonscale Fish.

[Silver-Armored Dragonscale Fish] Essence Blood, 1 drop for 10, Jiang Chen bought 10 drops with a wave of his hand, 100 million!

100 million is impossible, but he's still willing to pay 1 million!

Jiang Chen quickly returned and, without saying a word, dripped his essence blood into the little yellow book. Sure enough, the skill [Silver Armor Body Forging] immediately appeared below the Silver Armor Dragon Scale Fish illustration.

Without saying a word, Jiang Chen extracted it and immediately bestowed this skill upon Xiao Jiu, who loved Ma Qi the most!

"Skills and pet do not match, cannot be transferred."

"..." Jiang Chen.

Damn, I'm speechless.

Jiang Chen reluctantly dripped another drop of blood essence, extracted the skill once more, and then pointed his index finger at the Seven-Star Knife Fish.

This time, the light on Jiang Chen's index finger disappeared completely into Xiao Kuang's fish head.

Jiang Chen's eyes widened in surprise; the extraction had been successful!

"Silver scales, silver scales... Little Nine doesn't have silver scales, so they don't match?"

"But aren't the golden scales of the kingfish even more superior?"

"Is it because the scales of the seven-star knife fish are silver, and gold and silver don't go well together?"

Jiang Chen was completely speechless. What kind of situation was this?

For the next few days, Jiang Chen stayed in the basement adding points to the three beasts.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had already achieved the third level of body refinement, the Yi Jing Extrasensory Perception, so adding points was much easier. He only needed to rest for half an hour after each point addition before continuing.

Jiang Chen didn't hold back either. In less than three days, he added 40 points to Xiao Jiu, 40 points to Chu Yun, and 40 points to Xiao Kuang!

On average, 40 extra points are added per day!

Adding points once is great, but adding points 40 times is so great you won't want to stop!

Xiao Jiu's Explosive Claw skill proficiency has reached perfection, Chu Yun's Psychic Hammer skill proficiency has reached perfection, and Xiao Kuang's Star Blade and Rapid Charge have reached mastery!

In just three days, the three beasts' strength increased dramatically!

Because of the increased proficiency in two skills, Seven Star Knife Fish's strength barely caught up with Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun.

However, before it could even be happy, Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun, under the relentless exploitation of Jiang Chen, the two beasts, finally broke through to the extraordinary level!

The seven-star knife fish, who thought it could be the big brother, suddenly burst into tears...

On the same day, Jiang Henian's notification finally arrived.

With the intelligence confirmed, Jiang Chen was instructed to set off to carry out the mission.

The other three teammates are: Zhao Ziyi, a freshman; Yan Mengmeng, a sophomore; and Li Qing, a senior.
