Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 7: Cremation is mandated by national regulations.

Time flowed by slowly as the senior high school students of Ningshui Town, including Jiang Chen, prepared for the practical training next month. The atmosphere was tense and serious, yet also filled with anticipation and eagerness.

This complex emotion fills everyone's heart.

However, Jiang Chen was oblivious to everything else and focused solely on putting Xiao Jiu through grueling training!

In recent days, in addition to supervising Xiao Jiu's cultivation every day, Jiang Chen has been extracting the Steel Crack Claw skill from Xiao Jiu every two days.

Ten days later, Jiang Chen discovered something that shocked and delighted him!

When Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw skill was upgraded to "Beginner +4", Jiang Chen extracted it again, and it immediately advanced from "Beginner +4" to "Proficient"!

[Name] One-tailed fishing cat (Xiaojiu)

[Level] Early Awakening

[Bloodline] Late Awakening

[Skills] Steel Crack Claw (Proficient), Water Concealment (Beginner), Whale Breath Meditation (Beginner)

Jiang Chen was overjoyed!

This "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" is even more powerful than he imagined. In just 10 days, it raised Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw skill to the proficient level!

Last night, Jiang Chen tried it out, and sure enough, the large blue stone at home was shattered into several pieces by Xiao Jiu's steel claw attack, turning into pieces of gravel!

At the same time, he also gained some experience. It turned out that it only took 5 extractions to go from beginner to proficient, which greatly excited Jiang Chen!

So the remaining 5 drops of the One-Tailed Fishing Cat's essence blood are just enough for him to upgrade Xiao Jiu's Water Concealment skill from beginner to proficient!

By then, Xiao Jiu will have two skills at the proficiency level, making next month's trip to the Nanhu Underwater Grassland a sure thing!

"Next month, we'll finally set foot on the desolate sea!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's quite exciting to think about."

It was during the break between classes, and several boys behind Jiang Chen were excitedly discussing something.

Jiang Chen's ears twitched. Although this world was almost entirely covered by the ocean, there were still divisions between different sea areas.

For example, Ningshui Town has an average water depth of only a few meters, while the water depth outside the town is tens of meters. There are also relatively few marine mammals living around it, making it a shallow sea area.

The desolate sea is a truly uninhabited ocean, a body of water that is difficult for humans to enter.

The water there is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of meters deep, and the sea beasts living in those waters are extremely powerful and terrifying, making them difficult for human beast tamers to match.

The Nanhu Underwater Grassland, which they are going to visit next month, is located on the border between the shallow sea and the South Wilderness Sea.

"This time, all four of our senior high school classes will be going. Each class has 50 students, so that's 200 people in total."

"I heard that for this combat training, the school has specially set up rewards to encourage us to fight bravely and challenge difficulties..."

"There's a reward? What kind of reward is it?"

Before the boy could finish speaking, a sharp voice suddenly interrupted him.

The boy stared in astonishment at Jiang Chen, who suddenly turned around. Jiang Chen's eyes were bright and sparkling, like light bulbs!

That look was even more ferocious than a pervert seeing a naked woman!

"Ahem... I don't know the specifics yet. I just heard it from someone else. But it should be something like Sea Spirit Pearls and Sea Beast Blood Essence. The ranking method should be based on who hunts the most sea beasts. It should be announced soon."

"Li Tai, thank you so much!" Jiang Chen said excitedly to the boy behind him.

If there really is a reward, then he must hunt well and perform well on the trip to the Nanhu Underwater Grassland next month!

"It's nothing," Li Tai smiled. "But only the top ten students in the grade should be able to get the award, right?"

"Yeah, Zhang Caiying and Ke Zixuan are probably the only two in our class who can get awards. Their beast-taming skills have always been in the top ten of the grade."

Li Tai's deskmate, Chen Kai, nodded in agreement, then subconsciously looked at the two figures at the front of the classroom.

Zhang Caiying was a tall, strong young man with a short buzz cut.

Ke Zixuan is a girl with beautiful features and a shapely figure, wearing a purple chiffon top and tight jeans.

Li Tai and Chen Kai lingered on Ke Zixuan for a while before reluctantly leaving.

A girl who is beautiful and has strong beast-taming abilities—who wouldn't like her?

Ke Zixuan was the white moonlight of all the boys in Class 3 of Senior Three.

Jiang Chen subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Caiying and Ke Zixuan, but didn't linger on Ke Zixuan for long.

He's a poor bastard; he doesn't like the ideal woman, he only likes the daytime.

"Nangong Yan should also have some hope," Jiang Chen said, glancing at the empty seat beside him. His deskmate had gone to the restroom.

Li Tai and Chen Kai nodded in agreement: "If the award is for the top twenty, Nangong Yan will definitely win!"

Although Jiang Chen's deskmate was a bit of a show-off, his beast-taming skills were not bad either.

Jiang Chen had been paying attention to it these past two days. Nangong Yan's pet beast, the Tentacle Shrimp, should have reached the mid-stage of awakening, and at least one of its skills had broken through to the proficiency level.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will appear.

Just then, Nangong Yan walked in from outside the classroom, plopped down in his seat, and looked a little out of breath.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Nangong Yan: "Nangong Yan, what did you do in the restroom? And why do you smell burnt?"

Nangong Yan let out a breath and slumped back in his seat with a relieved expression: "I'm burning paper money."

Jiang Chen was taken aback: "Why burn paper?"

Nangong Yan: "The state mandates cremation."

Jiang Chen: "Huh???"

……

On the other side, in front of the classroom.

When Jiang Chen's gaze swept over this side, Ke Zixuan's deskmate, Zhang Mingwan, immediately grabbed her arm excitedly, shook it vigorously, and said excitedly:

"Zixuan, Zixuan!"

"Jiang Chen is looking over here! He's looking over here!"

"You're so pretty, he's definitely looking at you!"

Ke Zixuan, who was concentrating on memorizing the various marine mammal knowledge in her textbook, subconsciously glanced at Jiang Chen behind her upon hearing this.

Her eyebrows relaxed with joy, but quickly furrowed again as she nodded and shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Mingwan asked, looking at Ke Zixuan's expression.

Ke Zixuan said slowly, "Jiang Chen is indeed very handsome. In terms of appearance, he would be an excellent boyfriend."

"Unfortunately, his beast-taming skills are lacking, and his pet beast is just a one-tailed fish cat with an awakened bloodline. It will be difficult for him to break through to an elite-level pet beast in his lifetime."

"After the college entrance exam next year, I guess it will be very difficult for us to see each other again. Even if I want to date him, it won't be possible."

"Yes," Zhang Mingwan sighed involuntarily.

Jiang Chen is good at everything, except that he is weak.

It's hard not to sigh that Jiang Chen is really good for nothing except for his good looks!
