Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 225 Wu Zheng, lost!

Yingtian College, Baiqiang Lake.

At this moment, with Jiang Chen and Zhao Ziyi, two sophomores, successfully making the list, the number of people gathering at the Hundred Strong Lake and those who came after hearing the news has been increasing!

People thronged around Baiqiang Lake, forming dense circles like a swarm of ants.

Upon hearing that Jiang Chen had knocked out the number 91 ranked expert in one move and was now challenging Wu Zheng, who was ranked 85, even more people rushed over from all directions!

To be among the top 100 in one's sophomore year is an extraordinary achievement, and the fact that Jiang Chen is not content to stop there and wants to continue to improve has further motivated the students around him.

Beside the Hundred Strong Lake, because the Hundred Strong List was the liveliest place on campus during this period, the fierce little girl Yan Mengmeng and her group of younger girls took the opportunity to promote their products and attract customers.

Yan Mengmeng, who had been busy all night and hadn't eaten yet, was taking a break from her work and leaning against a tree to rest, her rosy little mouth nibbling on a steamed bun.

Halfway through the meal, Jiang Chen's announcement of challenging Xie Qing, ranked 91st on the Top 100 list, suddenly rang out around the lake.

Yan Mengmeng was taken aback, then delighted, and quickly squeezed into the Hundred Strong Lake to watch Jiang Chen's battle.

Before he could even squeeze in, the surrounding speakers blared again, announcing that Jiang Chen had successfully completed his challenge.

Yan Mengmeng froze on the spot, gasping for breath.

Ahem... Don't get me wrong, it's the skin of a steamed bun!

"This...how is this possible?"

Yan Mengmeng, with her smooth, plump figure and petite frame, stood frozen in place, her beautiful eyes wide, inwardly exclaiming that it was impossible.

How long has it been?

This was just the beginning, how did it end already?

The gasps from the audience immediately answered Yan Mengmeng's question: Jiang Chen had knocked out Xie Qing in one move, winning the victory in an instant!

Yan Mengmeng froze, then subconsciously took another bite of the bun skin, chewing hard in an attempt to calm the immense shock in her heart.

Yan Mengmeng struggled to squeeze into the top 100 lake, and finally saw the handsome and tall Jiang Chen under the top 100 list not far away.

As Jiang Chen challenged Wu Zheng, who was ranked 85th on the top 100 list, her beautiful eyes quickly scanned the area. Her eyebrows furrowed and relaxed intermittently. After a few seconds, she seemed to have made a decision.

She quickly walked to the nearest electronic screen, inserted her student card, and then performed a series of swift actions. The electronic screen immediately changed rapidly, and a mechanical sound rang out again from the surrounding speakers.

"Someone has requested to start a betting contest. Do you two agree to participate?"

Yes, since the top 100 list is always a focus of students' attention, who wins is something everyone talks about.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the school set up an official betting function.

However, the betting function is usually turned off by default and is only turned on when viewers specifically request it. Yan Mengmeng just now specifically requested to bet on the betting function.

"Agreed." Hearing the computer notification, Jiang Chen and Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Players who win receive a 10% bonus on their bets, which is quite good.

"There's a guessing game now? Great!"

"I'm betting on Wu Zheng! I'm betting on Wu Zheng to win!"

"I'll also join the army as a soldier..."

The surrounding audience erupted in excitement, rushing to the electronic screen to place their bets, creating a massive surge of people.

Baiqiang Lake, on the surface of the lake.

Jiang Chen and Wu Zheng stood lightly on the lake surface, as light as feathers, without any sign of sinking. Ripples spread out from beneath their feet.

Judging from his appearance, Jiang Chen, who is only 1.8 meters tall, looks like a dwarf compared to Wu Zheng, who is 2.2 meters tall.

Although Wu Zheng was nearly half a meter taller than Jiang Chen, the big guy, who looked like a human bear, had a solemn expression on his face!

He stood on the water, his body slightly crouched in a bow stance, looking at Jiang Chen with a solemn expression, while the phantom of a giant blue steel crab appeared on his body.

The Blue Steel Cancer is a top member of the crab family.

Crab-like sea creatures are naturally adept at defense, and the Blue Steel Giant Crab's shell is exceptional, far surpassing its peers. It is renowned for its shell resembling blue steel.

However, Wu Zheng did not show any contempt when facing this boy who was two years younger than him, because the scene of Jiang Chen killing Xie Qing with a single strike was still vivid in his mind!

However, Wu Zheng felt that he was not without a chance.

Jiang Chen's previous opponent, Xie Qing, was a speed-based beast tamer.

From the very beginning, Wu Zheng had contracted two pet beasts, one a tank/defense type and the other a heavy warrior type.

Therefore, the fact that Xie Qing cannot withstand an enemy does not mean that he cannot defeat it!

In addition, given that his strength is far superior to Xie Qing's, he might not be unable to defeat Jiang Chen!

At that moment, a teacher referee appeared in front of the two and separated them: "The betting has started. You will have 10 minutes before you start fighting again."

"Yes." Jiang Chen and Wu Zheng nodded.

Jiang Chen lifted his feet and walked towards the nearest electronic screen, inserted his student ID, and used all the remaining points (about 1,000) to buy "Win".

After completing his purchase, Jiang Chen leisurely returned to the center of Baiqiang Lake.

Seeing that the big guy hadn't moved, Jiang Chen asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to place a bet?"

"I don't like gambling," Wu Zheng replied.

"I sincerely suggest you place a bet, and bet on me to win. That way, even if you lose later, you can still make a profit..." Jiang Chen thought to himself.

However, after seeing Wu Zheng's serious face, Jiang Chen opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

There's nothing we can do; sometimes life is just like that—you can't always get people to believe you even if you tell the truth.

The ten minutes passed quickly, and the guessing game ended just as quickly.

The two subconsciously looked at the electronic screen next to them, only to see that the number of people betting on Wu Zheng was slightly higher, reaching 60%!

Jiang Chen's betting rate is slightly lower, at 40%.

In terms of total betting amount, Jiang Chen had even less; almost 70% of his money was bet on Wu Zhengying, while Jiang Chen's was only 30%.

Actually, this betting situation is quite reasonable.

After all, Wu Zheng was a senior student who had been famous in the school for many years and had been on the top 100 list for a long time. He was not a newcomer, and everyone knew about Wu Zheng's strength and that he had some skills.

As for Jiang Chen, whether it was last year's freshman typhoon competition or the battle just now, Jiang Chen's performance was very impressive.

But Jiang Chen's qualifications are what they are: a sophomore and a level three beast tamer. People still don't have enough confidence in him.

If Jiang Chen hadn't instantly killed Xie Ze in one move, he probably wouldn't even have a 40% betting rate or a 30% betting amount.

Beside the lake, Yan Mengmeng stared at Jiang Chen with sparkling eyes, her face full of excitement: "Jiang Chen, cheer me on! It's time to make back the 7 million you took from me, with interest!"

On the lake, after the guessing game ended, the teacher acting as referee slowly stepped back a few paces and waved, announcing, "I hereby declare the competition officially open!"

Almost as soon as the referee finished speaking, Jiang Chen transformed into a blur and rushed in front of Wu Zheng. A flash of silver light appeared in his hand, and a silver arc, as shimmering as autumn water, cleaved through the air and slashed down!

The air hissed and shrieked, and a sharp blade of intent pierced through the lake's surface, leaving a cut several meters long!

"Bang!"

A huge column of water immediately exploded where Wu Zheng was standing, splashing water everywhere.

However, Jiang Chen still missed. It turned out that just as Jiang Chen made his explosive attack as soon as the referee finished speaking, Wu Zheng sank into the lake without saying a word!

Water has water pressure and resistance.

For agile beast tamers, deeper water is more disadvantageous, as their agility will be weakened.

Therefore, Wu Zheng, who had extensive combat experience, sank to the bottom of Baiqiang Lake without saying a word, putting himself in a position that was advantageous to him.

"interesting!"

Seeing Wu Zheng dive into the water as quickly as a boulder, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and plunged into the water without saying a word!

If Wu Zheng were to use this move against a typical agile beast tamer, that beast tamer would really be unable to withstand it.

Unfortunately, Wu Zheng was clearly unfamiliar with Jiang Chen and unaware of Jiang Chen's abilities.

Jiang Chen is not only a beast tamer, but also a body refiner!

This slight water pressure and resistance are almost negligible in weakening a fourth-level body refiner!

But for Wu Zheng, this weakening of his strength is actually a positive one.

In other words, Wu Zheng's cleverness backfired, and he ended up shooting himself in the foot!

As expected, Jiang Chen kicked the water with both feet and once again transformed into a blur as he charged towards Wu Zheng. The Seven Star Knife Fish in his hand shone like starlight, and its speed was not affected at all. He quickly rushed to Wu Zheng's front, and the lake water along the way exploded into white foam.

When Wu Zheng saw that Jiang Chen's speed had not decreased at all, his expression immediately changed, showing both shock and confusion, not understanding what had happened.

And that was the end of it.

The Seven-Star Knife Fish in Jiang Chen's hand shimmered with light, and wisps of starlight emanated from it, like burning blue-silver flames.

Skill: Star Blade!

Jiang Chen stepped on the water, and his already incredibly fast figure exploded once more, instantly transforming from a blur into a bolt of lightning!

Skill: Rapid Dash!

"Whoosh!"

In the rippling blue lake, it was as if a shooting star appeared, flashing past Wu Zheng with lightning speed!

Wu Zheng, who was slowly sinking, suddenly froze and stopped in place.

The next second, the illusory image of the giant blue steel crab that had been covering him immediately cracked inch by inch, and then broke down and dissipated into countless spiritual energies!

Wu Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief!

He looked down in disbelief, staring blankly at his own body.

At that moment, his shirt had silently torn in two, revealing a line of blood, covered with countless beads of blood.

Although he was in the lake, Wu Zheng felt incredibly thirsty.

Because if Jiang Chen's knife tip had moved even a fraction more, he would have been cut in two, just like this piece of clothing!

He lost!
