Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 38 Jiang Chen is good for nothing except being handsome.

"What's going on?"

"Jiang Chen is handsome, but he's good for nothing else. How did he manage to climb to 5th place on the leaderboard?"

"Yeah, I've been watching the leaderboard these past few days too. Jiang Chen's ranking is skyrocketing like a rocket; I haven't even figured it out yet!"

"Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan teamed up, could it be because of Nangong Yan?"

"Huh? Jiang Chen teamed up? Who is Nangong Yan? I've never heard of him before?"

"Nangong Yan is Jiang Chen's deskmate."

"You mean that shifty-eyed guy, the one who looks kind of sleazy?"

"It's him."

"Oh, I was almost scared away when I saw him last time, but luckily Jiang Chen's stunning looks saved me."

"Me too."

"We're kindred spirits, me too!"

"That's not right. Jiang Chen is in the early stage of awakening, and I know a bit about Nangong Yan; he's in the middle stage of awakening. Their pet beasts' strength and bloodlines are also average. How come they're ranked 5th and 6th on the points leaderboard?"

"Could Jiang Chen be using his good looks to do something shady?"

"Hiss, no way? Jiang... Jiang Chen wouldn't be that kind of person, would he?"

"Wealth can be a powerful motivator, but that's not always the case. As far as I know, several female teachers at the school admire Jiang Chen!"

"No! Jiang Chen's body will always be mine! Waaaaaah!"

"..."

Five days of practical training had passed, and everyone was working hard to climb the rankings in order to win rewards. Therefore, Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan's constantly rising rankings immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Chen is a celebrity at Ningshui Beast Taming Academy.

Everyone knows Jiang Chen's situation perfectly well: he is extremely handsome, but his strength is mediocre, and even a bit weak.

Therefore, Jiang Chen's sudden rise to prominence in the past few days, soaring high on the rankings, is truly surprising and puzzling.

Some of the male students were indignant, feeling that Jiang Chen had gone too far this time!

That's really too much!

When it comes to looks, something that's predetermined by fate, there's no way we can compete with you.

Now that you've finally regained some confidence and mental compensation in your cultivation, you're cheating, trying to have your cake and eat it too. That's really going too far!

Even handsome guys can't do whatever they want!

……

Two students appeared on a large reef that jutted out of the sea.

The two students were of different builds, one strong and the other thin.

The muscular guy on the left is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and is very strong.

He had a short buzz cut, a square face, and steady eyes, which made him someone not to be underestimated.

This person is Geng Ben, the class monitor of Class 1, Grade 12 at Ningshui Beast Taming Academy.

She is also the student with the highest chance of winning first place in this practical training.

Geng Ben was sitting cross-legged on the reef cultivating when he saw the tall, thin boy return, so he stopped cultivating.

The person who arrived was none other than his partner in this practical hunting exercise, Hu Gang.

At this moment, Hu Gang returned from gathering information outside, panting and looking exhausted, but his eyes were shining: "Squad leader, squad leader, I've found out!"

Geng Ben and Hu Gang are both students in Class 1 of Senior Three.

"Speak quickly."

Hu Gangsong replied in one breath, "I asked many students, and finally someone saw that the sea creatures Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui hunted back these past few days were all Arowana fish!"

"For several days in a row!"

"Clearly, Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui have found a nest of Luohan fish sea monsters; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hunt so many sea monsters every day!"

Geng Ben's expression relaxed: "Indeed, we found a sea monster's nest. Otherwise, Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui wouldn't have been able to increase their points so steadily every day."

"Moreover, for the two of them, the Luohan fish sea monster is indeed a very good hunting target!"

"Zhang Caiying's silverback knifefish and Zhao Hui's large-clawed crab, when combined, make catching Flowerhorn cichlids a piece of cake!"

In the past few days, Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui have consistently held the first and second positions on the leaderboard.

Although Geng Ben tried his best to catch up, he was always just a little short.

After all, the entire Nanhu underwater grassland is so vast that sea monsters won't just obediently swim up to you and let you slaughter them.

Finding prey, surveying the environment, and hunting all take a considerable amount of time!

For Geng Ben and Hu Gang, the two top students in their grade, hunting was not difficult, but finding prey still took time.

This led to the awkward situation where the two would spend two hours searching for prey, but only five minutes actually hunting.

If the two of them are like this, then it's natural that Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui are as well.

Therefore, the two could easily deduce that Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui from Class 3 must have found a good spot to hunt monsters, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hunt so many sea beasts every day.

Furthermore, they discovered that Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui's spoils over the past five days had all been Luohan fish sea monsters.

The fact that the two were farming monsters in the Luohan Fish Nest is obvious!

With so many students returning to school by ferry every night, it was impossible for Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui to keep it a secret.

"Do you know where that nest is?" Gengben asked again.

"We don't know that yet, but we are certain that Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui swim from the west side of the Nanhu underwater grassland every night!"

"Let's search carefully as soon as it's light tomorrow; we should be able to find it!"

"Great!" Geng Ben's face lit up with excitement and joy!

For him and Hu Gang's pet beasts, dealing with a sea monster like the Luohan fish was not difficult either!

If they can also find that Flowerhorn fish nest, the two of them will definitely be able to surpass Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui and regain first place!

"By the way," Hu Gang suddenly said with a serious expression, "Class monitor, you know Jiang Chen, that pretty-boy from Class 3, right?"

Geng Ben nodded. Upon hearing the name, his brows furrowed, showing both seriousness and, more importantly, confusion.

After these few days of practical training, the one with the highest reputation is actually Jiang Chen!

This man, who used to be weak, is now displaying his prowess, as if he has become strong, and is making a crazy advance on the leaderboard, running rampant and majestic!

They completely dominated everyone else, and they even seemed determined to take the top spot on the leaderboard!

So these past few nights, every time Geng Ben saw Jiang Chen's name rise instead of fall, he felt like he was seeing a ghost!

This is so bizarre!

Emotionally tell him that this is impossible, and ask if there's a mistake in the leaderboard.

But reason told him that this was probably the truth!

With so many school teachers and leaders on the ship, all of whom are powerful beast tamers, how could they possibly misjudge the students' rankings?

Geng Ben didn't believe it!

"I found out through our homeroom teacher," Hu Gang said with a serious expression, "Jiang Chen has struck gold!"

"The two fishing cats he contracted a month ago may seem to have ordinary bloodlines, but they possess unparalleled and astonishing talent in learning and cultivating skills!"

"In just one month, this pet beast honed its two innate skills to the proficiency level and also learned skills from other sea beasts, forming a powerful combination attack!"

"That's why Jiang Chen's ranking has been able to climb steadily, breaking into the top ten!"

"What???"

Even though Geng Ben was a calm and composed person, he still lost control of his expression when he heard Hu Gang's words, thinking that he was hallucinating!

"You don't believe it? I don't believe it either," Hu Gang said with a wry smile.

"Perfect timing. After making some inquiries, I found that the sea creatures Jiang Chen has been hunting these past few days are all Luohan fish. His hunting locations should be the same as Zhang Caiying's."

"Let's go there tomorrow and witness it for ourselves!"

"To have mastered proficient-level skills and combos at the early stage of awakening? I simply cannot believe it until I see it with my own eyes!"
