Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 5 The Poor Cat's Life

Whether it's a pet beast or a sea beast, the essence of cultivation is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then make it one's own.

The cultivation of sea beasts is similar. After absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, they use this spiritual energy to temper their physical bodies, making their bodies stronger and stronger.

Those who practice body tempering imitate the cultivation methods of sea beasts to refine their human bodies.

However, sea monsters are naturally strong, with thick skin and tough flesh. Humans, on the other hand, are naturally weak, making it extremely difficult to train them to the same level!

This process is like a rabbit tempering its body to become as strong as a tiger!

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang..."

In a simple stilt house, Jiang Chen was using the body-refining technique given to him by Zhao Zhong to absorb spiritual energy, then attaching the spiritual energy to his fists before punching the wooden mannequin in front of him, thus tempering his fists.

The fists collided, producing a series of muffled thuds, leaving shallow fist marks on the surface.

"Bang!"

"Tap tap tap..."

Beside her, Xiao Jiu also extended her cat blade and continuously swung it at a large blue stone in front of her.

The clash of metal and stone produced sparks, and the claw marks on the surface were much clearer than Jiang Chen's fist marks!

Xiao Jiu is practicing his Steel Crack Claw skill.

At this moment, its Steel Crack Claw skill is only at the beginner level. If it were at the proficient level, the bluestone in front of it should be able to be torn into several pieces by Xiao Jiu with one claw!

Therefore, Jiang Chen is training Xiao Jiu every day. If Xiao Jiu can master the Steel Crack Claw skill to the proficient level before going to the Nanhu Undersea Grassland next month, Xiao Jiu's combat power will increase significantly!

Xiao Jiu can easily handle ordinary awakened-level sea monsters.

Whether it's hunting sea monsters to sell for money or obtaining their essence, it will be extremely important, and this opportunity absolutely cannot be missed.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two, a human and a cat, diligently practiced for nearly an hour!

Several times along the way, Xiao Jiu wanted to give up, but when it met Jiang Chen's stern gaze, it could only continue to persevere, looking aggrieved and pitiful...

Meow, this human has absolutely no mercy for me!

As soon as the cultivation ended, Xiao Jiu lay down on the ground, panting heavily. Its long, wet fur clung to its body, its small tongue lolled out, and it meowed weakly, not wanting to move at all.

This is absolutely not how a cat should live!

Jiang Chen, standing to the side, was also drenched in sweat, his shirt soaked through, and his fists were extremely swollen and red, with the skin around his knuckles cracking and bleeding.

Xiao Jiu's paws also showed some minor cracks and mottled edges.

After an hour of training, Jiang Chen could feel that the skin on his fists had become slightly tougher, and Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw skill had also become more proficient.

only……

This cultivation speed is still too slow!

According to the manual, before cultivating, practitioners should consume various spiritual plants or the flesh and blood of sea beasts that contain spiritual energy. This will make their blood and energy abundant, and their cultivation will be twice as effective.

Some practitioners even soak in a special medicinal bath after finishing their training, so that the muscle soreness or hidden injuries left over from the training can be quickly healed.

Jiang Chen was penniless, so naturally he couldn't afford any nutritional supplements or medicinal baths.

On the other hand, the spiritual energy that beast tamers obtain through meditation is either used to strengthen their own beast taming space or for their pets to use.

Now that Jiang Chen is using this spiritual energy for his own consumption, Xiao Jiu won't get enough spiritual energy to nourish itself tonight. The small wound on its claws from practicing the Steel Crack Claw will take longer to heal!

This is an important issue that the homeroom teacher specifically mentioned to Jiang Chen today.

You need spiritual energy to refine your body, and Xiao Jiu also needs spiritual energy to cultivate.

When two entities compete for spiritual power, one of them will end up with insufficient spiritual power, which has obvious drawbacks!

This drawback is easy to solve, because Xiao Jiu has the Whale Breath Meditation skill, which allows it to absorb spiritual energy twice as fast as a normal awakened-level pet.

However, the issues with dietary supplements and medicinal baths are very real. Jiang Chen is already feeling numbness and soreness in his fists. At this rate, he will need to cultivate for at least one or two days to recover before he can continue cultivating.

If Jiang Chen forces himself to cultivate despite his injuries, he will only get hurt for no reason, and then he will need even more time to rest.

"How come in the end, it's poverty again that makes cultivation so difficult?"

Jiang Chen was speechless. He was dirt poor on Earth in his previous life, and now he was just as "poor" in this extraordinary water world!

Is he completely cut off from being a wealthy person?

"I can only try to get some sea beast blood at the school's petting zoo tomorrow. Xiao Jiu needs sea beast essence blood for cultivation, and I need it for body tempering too. We need two sets of cultivation resources in total!"

"This training speed is far too slow. There's no way Xiao Jiu can master the Steel Crack Claw to the proficient level before next month!"

As a newly awakened apprentice beast tamer, Jiang Chen's strength is definitely at the bottom of the food chain.

In this situation, if Jiang Chen were to enter the desolate sea alone, he could quickly fill the bellies of the sea monsters with a simple slide tackle.

The school's practical training exercise next month on the Nanhu underwater grassland will be one of the few opportunities to enter the wilderness and hunt sea creatures.

Traveling in groups makes survival and hunting much easier, and with school teachers and the principal guarding the area, safety is greatly improved!

Therefore, Jiang Chen really didn't want to miss this opportunity to quickly become stronger!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's gaze hardened again, and his fighting spirit soared.

Xiao Jiu, who was standing to the side, shivered instantly when she saw Jiang Chen's burning gaze!

Oh, human...you...you're going to act like a monster again!

"Little Jiu, you've rested for ten minutes. Get up, let's continue cultivating. This time, I'll give you all my spiritual power!"

"Meow meow meow!"

Xiao Jiu shook her head repeatedly, looking completely exhausted.

"Little Nine, you can't do this! You have to be a hardworking and resilient cat!"

"Hurry up, get up, let's continue our cultivation!"

"Meow meow meow!"

Xiao Jiu continued to cry out in resistance, shaking its fluffy white head like a rattle drum.

Striving doesn't guarantee success, but not striving is really comfortable!

Human, don't push me!

"Hurry, hurry, every moment is precious, let's continue cultivating, I'll stay with you!"

"Meow meow meow!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

"Meow meow meow!!!"

Finally, under Jiang Chen's coercion, poor Xiao Jiu had no choice but to continue moving.

First, under Jiang Chen's command, he used the Water Concealment skill to run a lap around Ning Shui Village, then used the Steel Crack Claw to continuously attack the bluestone, and finally, when he was tired, he jumped into the water again to use the Whale Breath Meditation Technique to absorb spiritual energy.

Jiang Chen tormented Xiao Jiu until nearly midnight before finally letting the poor little kitten go.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Jiu looked at Jiang Chen with tears in her eyes and a pained expression on her face, as if to say: Human, I may not be human, but you really are a dog!

PS: You can also take a look at Longbi's previous book, "Deep Sea Boxer," which is 170 million words long and also set in the water world.
