Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 156 Teacher, I Love You (5000 words)

Green waters and bamboo groves.

After hearing about the three teammates Jiang Henian mentioned, Jiang Chen paused for a moment: "Teacher, are you serious about the other three teammates you assigned to me this time?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Jiang Henian slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "You've been in seclusion for half a year and you still don't know? Zhao Ziyi, the deputy department head, has chosen to join our refining system."

"Me, Lei San, Zhu Wushuang, Zhao Ziyi, and you—we've finally made a full group of five! Our alchemy system is back in place!"

Jiang Henian said happily, "The Refining System will finally be real, no longer just a name. The Refining System faction has finally reappeared on the school's official records and can receive some educational funding, though not much."

Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised by Zhao Ziyi's choice to join the Refining System, but it was also reasonable.

After all, Zhao Ziyi was a powerful body refiner, and his body was of the Silver Body, which was a level higher than the Bronze Body.

As Jiang Henian was the founder of the Martial God Hall, it was normal for Zhao Ziyi to choose to join him, which was probably also the intention of the Changshan Zhao Clan.

After all, the two things the Changshan Zhao family excels at most are beast taming and body tempering.

"He joined because he wants to surpass me, right?" Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then smiled.

"That's right, that's what he meant." Jiang Henian chuckled.

Jiang Chen nodded. Zhao Ziyi was an extremely arrogant person who looked down on others instead of using his eyes.

Zhao Ziyi was definitely unwilling to accept that he had taken first place from the typhoon newcomer competition.

The Refining System possesses spiritual martial arts techniques capable of slaying gods, so Zhao Ziyi naturally couldn't miss it!

Or rather, whatever Jiang Chen possesses, Zhao Ziyi should naturally possess as well!

Learning martial arts techniques to defeat himself—that's probably Zhao Ziyi's plan.

"Don't worry, the Zhao family of Changshan and I have a close relationship. Before Zhao Ziyi, several members of the Zhao family had studied under me, so Zhao Ziyi is trustworthy."

"The Zhao family of Changshan has killed countless sea creatures on the desolate sea over the years. It is impossible for such people to become disciples of the sea creatures; that would be courting death."

"What is Zhao Ziyi's current cultivation level?" Jiang Chen asked again.

"You're already a level three Beast Tamer," Jiang Henian said.

"Huh? He cultivates that fast?" Jiang Chen exclaimed in shock. He himself had been in seclusion for a full six months before breaking through to the third level of Beast Tamer. Could Zhao Ziyi's cultivation talent be even more amazing than his?

"His talent for beast taming is no worse than yours, and it's even more inclined towards cultivation, while your talent for beast taming is more inclined towards combat."

"As long as Zhao Ziyi contracts with ice-type, sea lion, sea seal, or seal-type creatures, his cultivation speed will increase by 40%, nearly half."

"Furthermore, he heard that you had entered the Sea of ​​Cultivation, so he followed you in and bought a lot of cultivation time, just like you, and treated the secret realm as his home."

"You came out of seclusion a few days ago, and he also happened to come out around the same time."

"..." Jiang Chen was speechless.

Why does it feel like Zhao Ziyi is always imitating him? He went to the Red Tide Warm Current Secret Realm, and Zhao Ziyi went too.

He left the Red Tide Warm Current, and Zhao Ziyi also left.

He went to the Sea of ​​Spiritual Power Secret Realm, and Zhao Ziyi came as well.

What's going on here?

A man being stalked on a train?

Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine; this was too terrifying!

His criteria for choosing a partner are very simple: he only wants a woman!

"Of course, most importantly, Zhao Ziyi is the most outstanding member of the Changshan Zhao family in this generation. He has no shortage of all kinds of rare and precious materials. It can be said that the entire family's power is gathered to help him cultivate. It's already quite remarkable that your cultivation speed can keep up with his!"

He understood what Jiang Henian meant: he was cultivating alone, but Zhao Ziyi had the combined strength of his entire family behind him!

Jiang Chen not only wants to compete with Zhao Ziyi, but also with Zhao Ziyi and his entire family!

This is the heritage that comes from a large family!

Seeing that Jiang Chen still seemed somewhat unwilling, Jiang Henian laughed and said, "Alright, what are you angry about? Zhao Ziyi is the one who should be angry!"

"Because you both went into seclusion for half a year, you broke through to the third level of both Beast Taming and Body Refinement at the same time, while Zhao Ziyi only broke through to the third level of Beast Taming, and he hasn't even broken through to the third level of Body Refinement yet."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's face immediately lit up with joy. "Oh, that's good!"

Zhao Ziyi, Zhao Ziyi, you'll forever follow behind your brother and eat his dust!

"By the way, teacher, is the sophomore senior Yan Mengmeng... you mean that... Yan Mengmeng?" Jiang Chen asked with a strange expression.

Could she really be a fierce little girl?

This is a bit like enemies meeting on a narrow road!

Moreover, Jiang Chen found it hard to imagine what this woman would look like when she was fighting.

Monster, prepare to die! Take this punch from me!

The scene is so beautiful...

Jiang Henian knew about Jiang Chen's "clever" acquisition of 7 million from Yan Mengmeng, so he looked at the other party with a half-smile: "That's right, it's the Yan Mengmeng you're thinking of."

"She's your senior sister Zhu Wushuang's cousin, so I trust her identity."

"Also, don't let her delicate appearance fool you; she's incredibly skilled at adventuring in the wilderness."

"For example?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Jiang Henian said, "Yan Mengmeng's initial pet is a [Golden Rat] with a commander-level bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression changed immediately: "Is it that gold-hunting rat that is extremely sensitive to all kinds of spiritual minerals and spiritual energy?"

Jiang Henian nodded: "That's it, that's it."

Jiang Chen instantly dropped his disdain for Yan Mengmeng!

Money Rat, also known as Gold-Seeking Rat or Spirit-Exploring Rat, is born with a bloodline starting from the level of a commander!

This pet beast is weak in combat, but in the field of perception, this hamster-like little guy has an unparalleled and unique talent!

It is naturally very sensitive to all kinds of gold mines, spirit mines, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

It can be said that if you own a Golden Rat pet, you can easily find all kinds of spiritual plants and gold mines by simply taking a trip in the desolate sea!

Moreover, because the other party is extremely sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and both humans and sea creatures use spiritual energy, this hamster is a "rat"-shaped radar!

It can easily detect the surrounding area, making it extremely powerful.

Having a money rat accompany you on your journey into the desolate sea means you've already gained a huge advantage even before you set off.

Of course, because the money rat has a very strong sense of perception, its combat ability is very weak. It will usually be defeated as soon as it gets close.

"Having Yan Mengmeng do missions with me is really great..." Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Henian smiled and said, "Many third- and fourth-year students in the academy wish they could take Yan Mengmeng with them every time they go on an adventure in the desolate sea."

"After all, Yan Mengmeng, who possesses a mouse-shaped radar, will have a significant advantage in both exploration and combat."

"This time, she only agreed to go because she heard that the mission target was a pearl cultivation pond."

Jiang Chen smiled; money was the best weapon against Yan Mengmeng.

Jiang Henian continued, "The last one is Senior Brother Li Qing. His cultivation level is the highest among the four of you. He is a Level 3 Beast Tamer, and his pet beasts have all cultivated to the late stage of the Extraordinary Realm."

"Li Qing was once a member of the Refining System, but he was stuck at the third level of Yi Jing Extrasensory and couldn't advance. In addition, he couldn't learn Spirit Martial Arts, so he later focused on cultivating Beast Tamer."

Jiang Chen understood; this was an awkward situation that many body cultivators faced.

The further you progress in body tempering, the more difficult and painful it becomes!

No one knows how far they can cultivate and persevere.

When they could no longer persevere, everyone had no choice but to give up body tempering and focus on becoming a beast tamer.

If Jiang Chen ever finds himself unable to continue his body cultivation or persevere in the future, he will make the same choice.

"His pet beast is the Dragon Head Eel. You know the Dragon Head Eel's title, right?" Jiang Henian said.

"I know, it's a blessing for men."

Jiang Henian was speechless, then slapped Jiang Chen on the scalp: "Wrong, it's [Dragon in the Cave]!"

"The Dragon Head Moray Eel is a sea monster with both earth and water attributes, and its earth attribute abilities are even better than its water attribute abilities!"

Therefore, the dragon-headed moray eel is also known as "Tu Xingsun".

"Each dragon-headed moray eel possesses exceptional earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of burrowing technique) ability, allowing it to easily traverse various underground environments."

"Furthermore, the Dragon Head Moray Eel possesses a very powerful skill, [Sound Wave], which allows it to hear all sorts of sounds from the seabed, the land, and the seawater. It is truly a 'fish' in sound and form."

Jiang Chen nodded. The Dragon Head Eel relied on this powerful earth-遁 skill to become one of the four overlords of the Southern Wilderness Sea!

It could even be said that among the four overlords of the Southern Wilderness Sea, the Dragon Head Eel is the most difficult to deal with.

This thing is incredibly agile, burrowing through the soil, and it has a particular fondness for attacking the rear end of the body, making it a fearsome creature among all beast tamers!

I both love and hate this dragon in the cave!

Of course, besides men with kidney problems, female anchors are also among the biggest fans of this dragon-headed moray eel.

After introducing his three teammates, Jiang Henian smiled with satisfaction: "With this rat radar and fish sound, your four-person team should be safe without any problems!"

"Thank you, teacher, for your thoughtful arrangements!"

After hearing Jiang Henian's arrangements, Jiang Chen felt a warm glow in his heart!

Jiang Henian had arranged everything perfectly for him, taking all sorts of situations into consideration.

First of all, Jiang Chen's strength lies in his practical combat ability. He has two powerful pet beasts, Xiao Jiu and the Seven-Star Knife Fish, plus the Turritopsis dominata, which is the nemesis of the Red Skull Devil Fang Fish. Therefore, Jiang Henian arranged support and functional teammates for Jiang Chen.

Yan Mengmeng's money rat made up for Jiang Chen's weakness in perception.

Furthermore, just to be on the safe side, they added Li Qing's fish-shaped vocalizations, making the team more than capable of predicting the direction of danger.

Moreover, Li Qing and Zhao Ziyi are not weak in combat either!

With Zhao Ziyi, a beast tamer, they are not completely defenseless when facing large-scale enemies!

Although their team only has 4 people, it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs and all kinds of abilities!

"Meet at Pier 6 (East) of the school at 6:00 AM tomorrow, understand?"

"Yes, teacher!"

……

After saying goodbye to Jiang Henian, Jiang Chen turned around and went to find Jian Qingqiu.

Jiang Chen now has two powerful backers: Jiang Henian and Jian Qingqiu.

Jiang Henian had just finished hugging her, so Jian Qingqiu naturally couldn't miss out!

Moreover, this is his first battle in the desolate sea, so he should at least show some appreciation to Jian Qingqiu, his powerful backer.

They quickly arrived at the school's teachers' dormitory, knocked on the door, and it opened automatically two seconds later.

Jiang Chen entered the room and saw Jian Qingqiu pruning the green plants on the balcony.

"Teacher, Principal Jiang has assigned me a task, and I have to go to carry it out first thing tomorrow morning."

Jiang Chen got straight to the point and then repeated everything Jiang Henian had just told him in detail.

Jian Qingqiu listened quietly. The afternoon sunlight streamed down from the balcony, casting a golden glow on her fair and beautiful skin.

At this moment, Jian Qingqiu was like a goddess statue, quiet, beautiful, and otherworldly.

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Jian Qingqiu slowly nodded and said in a cool and aloof tone, "Yes, you told me about it these past few days. Go ahead."

Jiang Chen waited quietly for two seconds, only to find that Jian Qingqiu didn't say anything more after saying that sentence.

"Uh, teacher, this is my first time venturing into the desolate sea. Shouldn't you say something encouraging to me, or bestow some magical artifacts or treasures upon me to protect me?" Jiang Chen said, still unwilling to give up.

Jian Qingqiu paused for a moment with the scissors in her hand, then quietly turned to look at Jiang Chen, a hint of helplessness appearing on her exquisite face: "Jiang Chen, I've discovered something."

"Teacher, please speak."

"Even the paint on the wall isn't as thick-skinned as you."

"..." Jiang Chen.

"Teacher, this is my first time entering the Desolate Sea. Aren't you worried?" Jiang Chen continued, not giving up, looking like he was just asking for money and a spiritual artifact.

"You are now a level three beast tamer, and your three pet beasts are all at the early stage of the extraordinary realm. You have also achieved the third level of body refinement. With your strength, even if a commander-level sea creature stood in front of you, you would probably kill it."

Jian Qingqiu said with some helplessness, "So this time when you entered the desolate sea, you shouldn't be the one begging the heavens for protection, but rather those sea creatures."

"Teacher, why are you siding with outsiders?!"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"Alright, alright," Jian Qingqiu, who was quietly tending to the flowers, was clearly getting impatient with Jiang Chen's interruption. "Didn't you say last time that the area of ​​the River Shell wasn't enough?"

"I happen to have a high-quality clam shell here for you, is that alright?"

Jian Qingqiu gave Jiang Chen a disgruntled look, then took a seashell out of her pocket and tossed it to him.

Jiang Chen's previously aggrieved eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light—he'd struck gold!

The storage shells, from smallest to largest, are: Chengxi Clam, Fuhe Clam, Hanhu Clam, Yinjiang Clam, and Tunhai Clam.

The Chengxi clam is 100 cubic meters in size, the Fuhe clam is 1000 cubic meters, and the Hu clam is 10000 cubic meters!

A single river clam is worth 500 million yuan on the market, while a clam containing a lake shell is worth 5000 million yuan!

Jiang Chen was overjoyed. A few complaints had brought him 5000 million. This deal was incredibly profitable!

Jiang Chen happily accepted the Lake-Containing Shell, holding it in his hands and stroking it carefully: "Huh, Teacher, is there a magic array carved on this Lake-Containing Shell?"

"Hmm," Jian Qingqiu looked at the magic array on the lake shell, her eyes flickering like ripples on a deep pool, and said calmly, "It's a level five protective magic array. You can activate it to resist danger."

Holy crap, a level 5 protective array! That means it can withstand the attack of a level 5 general-level sea beast!

Jiang Chen nearly went crazy upon hearing this, excitedly blurting out, "Thank you, teacher! I love you, teacher!"

Jian Qingqiu's delicate hand holding the scissors froze for a moment: "You're welcome, but I don't love you."

Jiang Chen smiled, his eyes crinkling: "It's alright, as long as you keep sending money, teacher!"

Jian Qingqiu: "..."

……

Early in the morning, the spring breeze was still chilly.

The sea surface had thawed in early spring, but the sea breeze was still bitingly cold.

Jiang Chen stood at Pier No. 6 in the East. The pier was deserted, and the sea around him was covered with thick fog.

Jiang Chen was wearing a black underwater combat suit. The tight-fitting and elastic clothing accentuated his strong and imposing physique, making him look masculine and handsome.

The underwater combat suit is very thin, consisting of only one layer.

However, Jiang Chen did not feel cold. Having achieved the first major success in body refinement, he was no longer afraid of ordinary cold.

Jiang Chen is now at the third level of mastery, so he doesn't feel the slightest bit of spring chill.

Jiang Chen waited for a while, then looked to his left, where the fluffy morning mist rolled, and a white figure emerged.

It was Zhao Ziyi, with a long spear slung across his back and standing ramrod straight.

Zhao Ziyi's second pet is a necromancer-type gun demon, which has no physical form.

Therefore, it needs to be attached to a physical entity to exert its power for the time being.

This is also a unique way of raising the special pet, the Gun Ghost. It is said that as the Gun Ghost's cultivation level increases, it will gradually merge with the Tiger Might Golden Spear and become indistinguishable from it.

At that time, the power of the Gun Demon will increase dramatically, and Zhao Ziyi will be able to store it in his Beast Taming Space.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Zhao Ziyi's expression changed slightly before quickly returning to normal.

He slowly walked to a stop ten meters in front of Jiang Chen, then looked around with his nostrils flared.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when the perverted man on the tram didn't come any closer to him.

A few seconds later, a petite but curvaceous young woman emerged from the morning mist; it was Yan Mengmeng.

The moment the little girl saw Jiang Chen, her chest heaved uncontrollably. Her pretty face contorted with anger, and she burst into a tirade: "Jiang Chen, you bastard! Where have you been for the past six months?!"

I almost thought you were going to call me a deadbeat...

"I've been in seclusion cultivating!" Jiang Chen said, rubbing his nose, a little embarrassed.

Upon hearing the word "seclusion," Yan Mengmeng's chest heaved even more violently, her anger blazing: "You're definitely going to buy a lot of resources during your seclusion, aren't you?"

"You must be spending a lot of money on that while you're in seclusion, right?"

"So you bought it from someone else now, right?"

"Is this how you treat people?"

"Jiang Chen, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

Yan Mengmeng, please don't say that to me, okay? I always feel like I've become a heartless man...

Although I certainly wouldn't mind being the dragon in your cave.

The problem is, I haven't even had a chance to do anything yet!

It's really wrong of you to slander someone's innocence like that!

"My blindness didn't stop me from finding you, because I heard your voices!"

Just as Jiang Chen and Yan Mengmeng were entangled in their argument, another figure emerged from the morning mist.

He was tall and muscular, but his eyes were covered by a black cloth.
