Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 12 Nanhu Undersea Grassland

After sailing for two hours on the vast, boundless sea, the ferry gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop before a huge underwater shadow.

The huge anchor on the ferry was dropped to secure the vessel.

The trainees were woken up and gathered on the deck, still sleepy-eyed.

It's a sunny day today, with a few listless clouds hanging in the sky overhead.

There was no wind on the sea, and the seawater was as smooth as a mirror.

Jiang Chen rubbed his eyes as he looked around, and the students around him were also curiously watching his surroundings.

Have we arrived at our destination?

Jiang Chen quickly noticed that the seawater to the left, right, and behind the ferry was a deep blue, but the seawater directly in front of the bow, about one or two kilometers away, was pitch black!

From a distance, it looked as if it were not seawater, but an endless pool of ink, exuding a chilling and eerie atmosphere!

However, when focused and examined closely, it can still be discerned that it is a dense vegetation growing on the seabed.

Meanwhile, on the vegetation, there seemed to be a large number of shadowy figures constantly moving about.

That was a large number of marine organisms.

Jiang Chen and the others immediately realized that the dark curtain of water was the Nanhu Undersea Grassland!

Although the ocean is a paradise for marine life, not every place in the ocean is teeming with life.

For example, on land, riverbanks and plains are the natural breeding grounds for organisms, while deserts and Gobi are sparsely populated.

The same applies to the ocean. Only places like coral reefs, underwater grasslands, and underwater forests can gather a large number of life forms. Most other places in the ocean are barren and uninhabited, like underwater deserts.

The reason it is called Nanhu is because the vast underwater grassland in front of us looks like a kettle when viewed from above, and it is close to the Southern Wilderness Sea, so it is called Nanhu Underwater Grassland.

Two hundred students stood neatly arranged on the deck. After giving a brief opening speech, Vice Principal Zhao Zhong got straight to the point without further ado:

"This vast underwater grassland in front of us will be the hunting ground for the students for the next 7 days."

"During these 7 days, students will have to find their own way to eat, drink, and stay in the school unless there is an unexpected situation.

"All the sea beasts inside have been carefully selected by the teachers. They are all awakened-level sea beasts, so there should be no ones that have slipped through the net."

"Of course, for everyone's safety, we will give you a defensive artifact later."

"In case of danger or emergency, as long as you inject spiritual power into the defensive artifact, the artifact will activate and protect you."

"However, once the defensive artifact is activated, it means you're eliminated."

"Now let me explain the specific hunting rules: 1 point for killing an early-stage Awakening-level sea beast; 3 points for a mid-stage Awakening-level sea beast; 6 points for a late-stage Awakening-level sea beast!"

"The specific rankings will be determined based on everyone's points in 7 days."

The slender Zhao Zhong spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it was very clear and reached everyone's ears.

"In addition, during the hunting of sea monsters, the school encourages everyone to fight independently, but it also does not exclude everyone from hunting in teams. However, since it is a training test, in order to be fair, there will be some restrictions on team formation."

"First, teams cannot have more than 4 members; if a team has more than 4 members, the result will be invalid."

"Secondly, solo hunting does not deduct points, while hunting in a 2-person group will deduct 2% of points, hunting in a 3-person group will deduct 4% of points, and hunting in a 4-person group will deduct 6% of points."

"For example, if a person kills a late-stage awakened sea beast, they will get 6 points."

「而如果是2个人小组斩杀了1头觉醒级后期的海兽，扣掉2成，小队得到4.8分，2人再平分这4.8分。」

「3个人组队斩杀了1头觉醒后期的海兽，扣掉4成，那就是3.6分，3个人再平分这3.6分。」

"The same applies to groups of four."

"This is to prevent people from blindly forming groups, while also allowing them to better train their overall individual abilities."

"Once a team is formed, it cannot be disbanded, and members cannot be replaced midway through the process."

"So whether you want to fight alone or in a team, think it through and find the fighting style that suits you best."

"Finally, I wish you all a great hunt!"

After finishing his sentence, Zhao Zhong turned and left decisively, without any hesitation, leaving the crowd still in a frenzy!

Everyone gasped in surprise, not expecting such a rule to be in place for this year's combat training!

The rule restricting team formation, in particular, made some people turn pale!

This regulation is too unfriendly to some people who want to take advantage of the situation!

You can get all the points by fighting and hunting sea monsters alone.

However, teaming up will deduct some points, which will make some people worry and unwilling to team up.

Moreover, the more people in a team, the more points are deducted, which further discourages people from forming teams.

This rule is too harsh!

The school teachers standing around the ship were also taken aback, looking at each other in surprise.

Clearly, they had only just learned of this rule themselves.

"Don't worry, I'll team up with you. Dad won't abandon you!"

In the crowd, after listening to Zhao Zhong announce the rules, Nangong Yan put his hand on Jiang Chen's shoulder and shook his head with a sigh, "After all, you're my only son, right, son?"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and slapped Nangong Yan's wife away without hesitation: "You little brat, go away! I'm not worried about you dragging me down!"

"I earned all the points all by myself!"

"Son, be a good boy, listen to me, Daddy still loves you!"

"Grandson, be a good boy, listen to me, get out of here right now, and take your two wives with you, get out of here without stopping!"

"son……"

"grandson……"

In the crowd on the other side.

Zhang Mingwan tugged at Ke Zixuan's sleeve, then turned to look at the handsome Jiang Chen and couldn't help but say, "Zixuan, why don't we team up with Jiang Chen? He's only had a pet beast contract for a month, and his strength isn't high yet. It would be terrible if he got injured later."

Upon hearing this, Ke Zixuan couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen. After hesitating for a while, she slowly shook her head: "No, my goal this time is to break into the top ten. If I team up with Jiang Chen, the three of us will lose 60% of our points, and there's absolutely no way we'll make it into the top ten!"

"Oh, that's such a pity!" Zhang Mingwan turned to look at Jiang Chen, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Actually, there is another way." After a pause, Ke Zixuan slowly said.

"What method?" Zhang Mingwan's eyes lit up.

"That means I won't take you. Jiang Chen and I will be on a team, and we should still be able to squeeze into the top ten," Ke Zixuan said seriously.

Uh……

Zhang Mingwan, whose eyes had been full of hope, froze. She smoothed her bangs and said awkwardly, "Then... then let's bring Jiang Chen next time. After all, the rewards for the top ten this time are so generous, we have to try our best!"

"Zixuan, you won't leave me, will you?"

"Zixuan?"

"Zixuan!"
