Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 224 Blue Steel Crab

Time slowly ticked back to a few minutes ago.

After looking at the electronic screen and confirming that Zhao Ziyi would win the match without any doubt, Jiang Chen walked straight to the computer below the screen and selected the challenger.

As it happened, the senior brother that Jiang Chen was going to challenge was also watching the match nearby. So when Zhao Ziyi's match ended, Jiang Chen's match seamlessly followed.

At the end of each month, the ten students ranked last on the top 100 list are the busiest because they have the most challengers.

At this time, the National Beastmaster Academy Competition arrived, and the number of times he was challenged increased again.

"Whoosh~"

Just as Zhao Ziyi was stunned and speechless, ripples appeared on the lake in front of him, and a handsome and imposing figure stepped out from the water – it was Jiang Chen.

Streams of spiritual energy flowed through Jiang Chen's body, and when Jiang Chen stepped out of the lake with his right foot, the water on his body had completely evaporated.

Upon seeing Zhao Ziyi, Jiang Chen nodded slightly in greeting.

After all, Zhao Ziyi is now a student of the cultivation system and one of Jiang Henian's disciples, so we still have to show him this much courtesy.

After passing Zhao Ziyi, Jiang Chen went straight to the computer below the top 100 list, inserted his student card, and selected a contestant for the next match.

The surrounding audience immediately noticed Jiang Chen's actions:

"Is this sophomore preparing to take on the challenge again?"

"Looks like it. That makes sense. He knocked out the 91st ranked opponent in one move. It's only natural he'd continue challenging!"

"Wow, so impressive! Two junior brothers with incredible strength and looks have appeared tonight alone. I can't help but feel my heart fluttering..."

"Get lost! When are you not feeling romantic?"

"..."

In front of the computer screen, Jiang Chen inserted his student card and found that his challenge interface had changed.

The ten small boxes in the center of the interface have changed from the original list of 91st to 100th place to the list of 81st to 90th place.

Of these ten small squares, seven are lit up, and three are gray and dull.

Bright lights indicate that these seven people are at school, while gray or dim lights indicate that they are out on missions or in seclusion and are temporarily unable to participate in the ranking battle.

Once a student makes it onto the top 100 list, their ranking will remain unchanged if no one challenges it.

However, if a challenge is received, the challenger must accept it within a month, otherwise they will be automatically removed from the top 100 list and their original ranking will be replaced by someone below them.

Jiang Chen carefully examined the ten small squares and found that they not only recorded some basic information about these ranked experts, but also how many times they had been challenged and who the challengers were.

So people aren't stupid. When some people on the leaderboard don't fight often, if they're deliberately avoiding battle, everyone will challenge them to avoid getting into trouble.

The school also stipulates that students who are on the list but have not yet completed any challenges will not be able to receive points rewards temporarily.

However, students who have just made the list will have a one-month bonus period.

Within this month, students can receive points rewards even if they have unfinished challenges.

Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the students on the top 100 list have enough time to cultivate and will not be disturbed by a large number of challengers.

Every newcomer who challenges a student on the top 100 list needs to pay a challenge fee.

For example, when Jiang Chen challenged Xie Qing, who was ranked 91st, he paid 100 points.

100 points are equivalent to 100 million RMB, which is no small amount!

Jiang Chen succeeded in the challenge, and the 100 points will be returned to him.

Jiang Chen failed the challenge, so the 100 points will go to Xie Qing.

This is why most of the students on the top 100 list are happy to accept the challenge, after all, a sea monster in the early stage of a ruler is only worth 1 million!

As long as you can defeat the challengers, earning that million is quite easy.

Jiang Chen looked at the list on the computer screen. He didn't recognize any of these senior students, so he used the mouse to click on "Quick Challenge" at the bottom of the screen.

The so-called "quick challenge" is to let the computer select contestants for Jiang Chen.

Every student who makes it into the top 100 will have a jade pendant specially made by the school's Spiritual Artifact Department.

If the students on the top 100 list haven't hidden their jade pendants, it means they're implicitly accepting the challenge.

The computer can quickly determine the students' general information using this jade pendant.

For example, is it at school? Where exactly is it located? How far is it from Baiqiang Lake? Has it been challenged recently?

The computer will use this information to quickly select a suitable challenger for Jiang Chen.

Soon, in less than three seconds, the list of challenges appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

"Would you be willing to challenge Wu Zheng, who is ranked 85th on the top 100 list?"

"willing."

Jiang Chen clicked "yes" with the mouse, and the computer interface changed again.

"Please wait a moment, awaiting a response..."

Just as Jiang Chen was standing in front of the computer waiting for the results, a deep voice came from behind him: "You must be Jiang Chen, right? Come on, let me have a go at you!"

Jiang Chen turned around and saw that the person who spoke was burly, more than two meters tall, almost the same height as Yao Ming in his previous life. He stood out from the crowd, and with his muscular build, he looked extremely intimidating.

His muscles were bulging and hard, like rocks, and his whole body exuded an aura of power and strength!

"Are you Senior Brother Wu Zheng, ranked 85th?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It is I!" the burly figure replied, taking out a jade pendant from his pocket and pressing the "Accept" button on it.

Immediately, the electronic screens surrounding Lake Baiqiang simultaneously emitted a cold, synthesized voice: "Jiang Chen, ranked 91st, challenges Wu Zheng, ranked 85th. The competition officially begins!"

The spectators around the lake erupted in cheers: "We have another match to watch!"

"It's that same second-year junior brother we just defeated. This is going to be good!"

"Yeah, he just killed Xie Qing in one move. I wonder how he'll fare against Wu Zheng?"

"I think Junior Brother Jiang Chen is in trouble!"

"I think so too!"

"You know, Wu Zheng's signature pet is the [Azure Steel Crab], which excels in defense. Jiang Chen has probably kicked a hornet's nest this time!"

"That's better, that makes the game more interesting!"

"I think so too..."

Ignoring the chaotic commotion around him, Jiang Chen turned to look at the computer screen, where another subtitle popped up.

"The competition has successfully started, and 120 points have been deducted. Jiang Chen, keep up the good work!"

Jiang Chen: "..."

Jiang Chen was speechless; the challenge fee was even more expensive than he expected...

That makes sense; the higher a student ranks, the stronger they are, and their time is also the most precious.

Increasing the challenge fee is also intended to increase their motivation to take on the challenge.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Chen and Wu Zheng slowly walked towards the Hundred Strong Lake.

Jiang Chen's second match has begun!
