Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 235 The Triathlon Fish, Leopard Tetra

Seeing Jiang Chen easily defeat Yu Sheng, the other eight finalists had different expressions.

Yu Ning gritted her teeth, glaring at Jiang Chen with a hostile expression. This guy who beat her boyfriend, she was going to teach him a lesson later!

Anyone who bullies my boyfriend will pay the price!

Most of the others were shocked because Jiang Chen's cultivation level was too low.

At this time, Jiang Chen was only a level three beast tamer, while the other eight were all level four beast tamers.

To be defeated by someone of a higher level when everyone else is a "genius" is a huge disgrace.

Jiang Henian, Yu Zhicheng, Zhuang Zheng, and other school leaders were filled with amazement and satisfaction as they recalled Jiang Chen's performance.

Yingtian Academy has produced another super genius!

However, it's said that the other three academies have also produced several outstanding geniuses this year. I wonder if Jiang Chen can surpass them...

"May I ask who is eighth on the Top 100 list? I want to continue the challenge," Jiang Chenhuan said slowly, glancing at the other seven people.

"..." The crowd.

Is Jiang Chen planning to crush them all today? One after another, he's really got too much nerve!

After a moment of silence, someone stepped forward. It was Chen Shou, who had once fought alongside Jiang Chen.

Chen Shou hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I concede."

"kindness?"

This result not only surprised Jiang Chen, but also the teachers, Bai Rong, Lei Quan and others around him.

The eighth-ranked expert surrendered before even fighting?

That's so cowardly!

However, at this moment, Jiang Henian, Yu Sheng, and Yu Ning in the crowd couldn't help but glance at each other, guessing the reason why Chen Shou conceded defeat.

Chen Shou's original pet was a blue-ringed octopus. Although he later contracted another pet, the blue-ringed octopus was still the strongest.

As a poisonous creature in the sea, the blue-ringed octopus can kill a large number of marine animals every time it appears, making it a creature that many people do not want to provoke.

However, the blue-ringed octopus does have its nemesis!

One reason is fear of high speeds.

Secondly, they fear enemies with strong constitutions who are not afraid of toxins!

Jiang Chen has both of these qualities!

As teammates who had previously explored the underwater ancient city of Qingyu together, the three knew that Jiang Chen had a total of three pet beasts: a three-tailed fishing cat, a lighthouse jellyfish, and a seven-star knife fish.

The Three-Tailed Catfish and the Seven-Star Knifefish are fast and silent, making them perfect counters to the Blue-Ringed Octopus.

In addition, considering Jiang Chen's identity as a body refiner, especially after Chen Shou immediately recognized that Jiang Chen had already cultivated to the fourth level of Crimson Blood Body Refinement and could expel various toxins from his body, Chen Shou knew that his chances of winning were extremely low!

At this point, it was just an internal sparring match, not a life-or-death battle. Chen Shou, who was rather introverted and easygoing, simply chose to surrender.

Bai Rong, Lei Quan, and the others gave Chen Shou a deep look, then a bald man stepped forward: "Then I'll fight you in the next match!"

"I am Zhu Minghui, ranked seventh on the top 100 list!"

After speaking, the bald man slowly walked up to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at the other person and saw that although the other person was only two years older than him, he looked quite mature. He was of medium build and had a shiny bald head, which made him look like a middle-aged or elderly man.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch the hair on his head, confirming that his hair was as handsome and flowing as his face, and immediately breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I'm only 20 years old this year, so I shouldn't go bald so easily.

As Zhu Minghui approached Jiang Chen, their battle began instantly.

Without saying a word, Zhu Minghui entered the human-beast fusion mode, while Jiang Chen stood still, not in a hurry to make a move, but carefully observing the enemy.

For a beast tamer, the greatest weakness is always the beast tamer himself.

Therefore, knowing that Jiang Chen is a body cultivator, all beast tamers must immediately enter a state of human-beast unity, otherwise they risk being knocked out by Jiang Chen.

This is also good news for Jiang Chen, because he can calmly observe the type of pet beast the other party has first, and then send out the pet beast according to the actual situation.

This is also the advantage of having many pets. At this time, Jiang Chen, who is a level three beast tamer, already has three pets, and he will soon have a fourth.

However, most of the people in the arena, including Zhu Minghui, only had two pet beasts, and some even only had one.

Raising a pet is not easy, so many people prefer to specialize in one pet and bring out its full potential.

"Buzz~"

A phantom image of a uniquely shaped fish-shaped pet appeared from Zhu Minghui's body, enveloping his entire being. Jiang Chen was immediately drawn to this pet.

The fish was covered in spots like a leopard, and its two fins were enormous, spreading out like airplane wings, also covered with leopard spots.

At first glance, Jiang Chen thought it was a flying fish, but when he looked closer, he discovered that the fish had three legs growing from its lower abdomen!

This completely confused Jiang Chen!

Zhu Minghui's fish not only has wings, but it also has legs! That's amazing!

"This is an all-around fish that can crawl, swim, and fly—the Leopard Gudgeon!"

After a half-second pause, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered this type of fish.

As the saying goes, fish cannot live without water. This means that fish spend their entire lives in water, and swimming is their instinct.

However, some fish can not only swim in water, but also "fly" in the air, such as flying fish.

Some can even jump on the beach, like mudskippers.

While other fish can only possess two abilities—flying and jumping—the leopard bream possesses three abilities: climbing, swimming, and flying, giving it the ability to move in three dimensions: sea, land, and air.

The most peculiar thing is that the three legs, or three fin rays, of the leopard bream's pectoral fin are independent and can move freely. It uses these three fin rays to crawl freely on the vast seabed.

These individual fins also serve as tactile organs for the leopard bream, allowing it to perceive the surrounding environment on the seabed.

Because of the special function of these three independent fin rays, the muscles that drive these fin rays are also particularly well-developed. This is the result of natural selection—the principle of "use it or lose it" for organs.

When the leopard bream transitions from crawling on the seabed to swimming in the water, its pectoral fins and the three independent fin rays in front of them retract and lie close to its sides to reduce water resistance.

When the leopard bream reaches the peak of its swimming, it bursts out of the water at an extremely fast speed, then spreads its "wings"—its pectoral fins—and flies through the air.

Of course, the "flying" of the leopard bream is different from that of the flying fish; it simply relies on rapid force to break through the water and glide.

Recalling the information about the leopard bream, Jiang Chen's face immediately became solemn and serious.

The information above demonstrates the power of the Leopard Gudgeon!

First, it has strong mobility. The leopard bream is excellent at climbing, swimming, and gliding, and has a strong ability to adapt to its environment.

Secondly, the two huge pectoral fins of the leopard bream, which resemble airplane wings, are not to be underestimated. They can not only sweep horizontally and vertically, but also act like wing blades.

Moreover, there are sharp wing blades at the front edge of the pectoral fin wings!

At this moment, the wing blades on Zhu Minghui's body gleamed with a cold light and were extremely sharp. If an ordinary person were to be stabbed by them, their body would probably be pierced through on the spot.

This shows that the leopard bream has a wide variety of attack methods!

With its biting, wing blades, fin spears, and foot-like ventral fins, its attack methods are endless and unpredictable!

Jiang Chen carefully sensed the other party's spiritual energy fluctuations, and his expression darkened.

Zhu Minghui was accompanied by a leopard-like bream, whose cultivation level was late-stage Commander and whose bloodline aptitude was late-stage General!

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a bit exhausted. It was already difficult to challenge someone of a higher level, but the opponent not only had a higher cultivation level than his pet beast, but also a stronger bloodline aptitude!

Jiang Chen sighed softly, only able to summon two pet beasts: a fishing cat and a seven-star knife fish.

Jiang Chen didn't merge with his pet beasts; instead, he released them. The Seven-Star Knife Fish spun around him, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit as it looked at the Leopard-like bream in front of it, and it growled excitedly, "My greatsword is already itching for battle!"

As soon as Xiao Jiu appeared, it lay down on the ground and complained with a meow: "Human, I was sleeping, why did you call me out?"

Jiang Chen didn't respond to Xiao Jiu, but said, "Defeat the opponent, and I'll reward you with ten large yellow croakers today."

Xiao Jiu immediately jumped up from the ground excitedly: Meow, really?

Have I ever lied to you?

"Meow!" Okay, you said that. The previously lazy Xiao Jiu immediately perked up.

After mobilizing his pets, Jiang Chen looked at Zhu Minghui: "Senior Brother Zhu, do you have any other pets? If you don't summon them soon, I'll be fighting three against one."

Zhu Minghui looked at the three-tailed fishing cat and the seven-star knife fish with envy, then said with a sour smile, "I only have one pet beast."

Zhu Minghui's lips were definitely sour!

His other pet is an elite-level rockback lizard, which was also his initial pet.

Unfortunately, as his cultivation level improved, his first pet beast gradually fell behind, so it had fewer and fewer opportunities to appear.

This is also the dilemma of many beast tamers. Everyone's favorite and most affectionate pet is definitely their first pet, their original pet.

However, as the Beast Tamer's cultivation level increases, the first pet will gradually fall behind, which is something that cannot be avoided.

The evolution resources required to upgrade a pet's bloodline are sometimes far greater than those required to re-contract a pet with better bloodline potential, so the first pet can only be gradually abandoned.

Zhu Minghui had just heard that Jiang Chen's pet beasts had been growing up alongside their master, their bloodlines constantly evolving, which was truly enviable.

These thoughts flashed through Zhu Minghui's mind quickly, and the battle between the two began instantly.

Zhu Minghui launched the first attack. With his three walking fins stomping on the ground, his entire body shot towards Jiang Chen like a flying aircraft.

Undeterred by the danger, Jiang Chen instantly entered his golden giant form to meet Zhu Minghui.

Jiang Chen threw a punch, and just as his fist was about to hit Zhu Minghui, Zhu Minghui flapped his two huge wings. His body, which was originally charging forward, suddenly leaned upward, just avoiding Jiang Chen's fist. He was now just centimeters away from Jiang Chen's fist!

Jiang Chen was startled and immediately cried out in alarm!

Sure enough, a whooshing sound rang out, and a beam of light bloomed beneath Zhu Minghui. Three short, spear-like fins shot out from beneath the leopard bream!

"Tap tap tap!"

Zhu Minghui's smile hadn't even fully bloomed when he realized that his own fin had blocked the target!

The walking fin tore through Jiang Chen's clothes and golden skin, but that was all. It was held firmly by Jiang Chen's hard muscles and could not go any further.

"boom!"

Taking advantage of the foot fins clamping down, Jiang Chen unleashed another double punch, the air whistling!

Zhu Minghui adopted an offensive strategy, transforming the fins of his hands into wing blades to slash at Jiang Chen's neck, launching a pincer attack!

Jiang Chen stared coldly at Zhu Minghui, completely ignoring the wing blades, and continued his attack with both fists!

At the same time, two figures appeared on Zhu Minghui's left and right sides, namely the Three-Tailed Fishing Cat and the Seven-Star Knife Fish. Now it was Zhu Minghui's turn to be attacked from both sides!

"not good!"

Zhu Minghui was immediately alarmed; the defense of a body cultivator far exceeded his expectations!

As you can see from the step fins just now, his wing blades might indeed be able to hit Jiang Chen, but the attacks from the opponent and the two pet beasts will definitely also land on him.

His defense was far inferior to Jiang Chen's!

Then his injuries will far exceed Jiang Chen's. Jiang Chen may only be slightly injured, but he will be seriously injured. This deal is not worth it!

"Skill: Wingblade Wind!"

At the critical moment, two surging spiritual energies suddenly appeared on Zhu Minghui's two wings, and then two amazing whirlwinds erupted!

"boom!"

Zhu Minghui immediately rose into the air like an airplane taking off, with two sharp whirlwinds rising up at the same time, frantically cutting through the surroundings!

Xiao Jiu and Xiao Kuang, who were attacking together, were startled and immediately stopped in their tracks.

The two beasts had only average defenses and lacked Jiang Chen's massive physique. If they were to be scratched, they would suffer serious injuries!

Zhu Minghui's skill was very sudden, and Jiang Chen was caught off guard and was immediately freed by Zhu Minghui.

At the same time, the violent wing blade wind instantly shredded Jiang Chen's clothes and tore his skin!

In an instant, Jiang Chen was covered in blood, and his golden skin was covered in wounds, making him look extremely miserable!

Zhu Minghui swung his sword upwards, spinning once in the air before landing again. He looked solemnly at the blood-soaked figure in front of him, but there was no joy on his face.

Therefore, Zhu Minghui was shocked to find that Jiang Chen had already stopped the bleeding from all the large wounds that had just been opened on him.

In other words, although Jiang Chen looked bloody and miserable, his injuries were only superficial.

Based on the sensation he felt earlier, Zhu Minghui realized that his skin had only cut Jiang Chen's skin, without damaging his muscles.

Moreover, the physique of a body cultivator is terrifying. Apart from the blood splattered from the initial attack, Jiang Chen's wounds stopped bleeding in less than a few seconds, and his skin began to twitch and slowly heal!

"As expected of someone with the bloodline of a general."

On the other side, Jiang Chen nodded slightly as he looked at Zhu Minghui. It seemed that he needed to take this more seriously, otherwise it would be really hard to win!
