Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 6 Human, are you trying to kill me?!

The next day, Jiang Chen went to the petting zoo behind the school to report as soon as he finished his class.

This is a huge pool constructed with iron fences, which are further divided into individual small iron cages.

Above the iron cage, there was a magical array that shimmered with spiritual light and exuded an oppressive aura.

Jiang Chen darted through the underwater cages like a fish, spotting a multitude of marine creatures: fanged fish, knife fish, knife-toothed viperfish, water cannon toads, pistol shrimp, blue-armored crabs, steel-clawed seals, and so on.

Most of them are awakened-level sea beasts, with a small number being elite-level.

It is said that in the deepest part of the pet park, there are one or two extraordinary beasts. Jiang Chen doesn't know if there are any, because he can't get in.

He couldn't even get close to those dozens of elite-level sea beasts, and the other students working part-time here weren't qualified either.

These students are only responsible for raising Awakening-level sea beasts; those above Awakening level are raised by the teachers stationed here.

The sunlight, like golden butterflies crushed in the water, slowly fell and landed on the clusters of emerald green seaweed on the seabed.

Jiang Chen swam in the water, dragging a large net of fresh sea fish behind him. At each water cage, he would grab several sea fish from the net and throw them into the cage.

As Jiang Chen fed them, his mouth watered uncontrollably. "So sad, so mushroom-like! Even a bunch of sea monsters are eating better than me!"

The sea fish were all fresh, lively, and jumping around.

Each water cage needs to be filled with about 10 jin (5 kg) of food each time, three times a day, at regular intervals.

Some larger marine mammals, such as the lizard, the green water giant anaconda, and the crocodile, need to be fed 30 to 40 kilograms each time!

In addition to fresh seafood, there are also turtle liver, seal steak, shark spine meat, and more, making for a very diverse menu.

Some special marine mammals require special food. For example, the mantis shrimp (Pterodactylus peacock) needs to be fed shellfish and snails so that it can practice its skill—springy iron fist—while eating.

Finally, they also need to be fed some special seaweed vegetables every day—such as laver, sea lettuce, and sea lettuce—to ensure a balanced diet and prevent malnutrition.

Poor Jiang Chen could only afford to eat fresh and juicy oysters and abalone every day, barely enough to fill his stomach. Turtle liver was a luxury, and he could only taste sea vegetables a handful of times a year!

So on his first day at work, Jiang Chen got conjunctivitis after only working for an hour or two!

It seems like they want to take all the food for these sea creatures for themselves!

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen couldn't do it!

This petting zoo is one of the school's most valuable assets, and it is monitored by various underwater cameras, magic arrays, and patrolled by teachers.

The school has also set very strict penalties in this regard. If Jiang Chen is caught, he will be fined or expelled!

At the same time, each sea monster is given a full ration of food according to its growth and development. If someone steals it, the truth can be found out immediately.

Under such circumstances, the risk of stealing food from sea monsters is far too high!

So even though Jiang Chen's eyes were red with greed, he could only suppress his own greedy thoughts.

After a busy and tiring journey, Jiang Chen finally had some free time to swim to a spacious area with rocks and grass in the cage, and the water rippled overhead with direct sunlight shining through it.

In the center of the cage, on a patch of grass, lay a large white cat, nearly 2 meters long with long, fluffy fur.

It looks very similar to Xiao Jiu, but it has two thick tails.

That's right, this is the two-tailed fishing cat bred by the school!

This is also Xiao Jiu's later upgrade path, evolving from the Awakened level to the Elite level, marked by the evolution from a one-tailed fish cat to a two-tailed fish cat.

At this moment, the big white cat was lying there lazily, its body slightly tilted. The moment its right front paw was raised, it turned into a blur in the next second!

"Buzz!"

With a low, loud popping sound in the water, the shell of the sea cucumber placed in front of it was automatically cut into several pieces, revealing the tender white flesh inside.

The big cat skillfully used its claws to prick out the flesh of the melon and stuff it into its mouth.

Its movements were swift, leaving a trail of afterimages in the water, accompanied by constant screeching sounds. Almost every second, it stuffed several pieces of melon flesh into its mouth, eating with gusto and a look of pure bliss.

"You're even more skilled at cracking sea cucumbers than I am!"

Jiang Chen looked at the two-tailed fish cat in front of him with envy and longing. When will Xiao Jiu be able to advance to the elite level?

At a normal pace of development, it would generally take at least one or two years for Xiao Jiu, who is in the early stages of awakening, to advance to the elite level.

Some of the slower ones take three or four years!

The most important thing here is the various resources needed for the pet's growth. If there are enough resources, the growth speed will be faster, and if there are not enough resources, the growth speed will be slower.

"Too bad, this way we can't get any sea monster blood essence at all!"

After finishing all the chores—feeding the pets, organizing the warehouse, cleaning the water tanks—Jiang Chen swam home, his brow furrowed as he thought about the world.

The management of the school's petting zoo is stricter than I imagined, with a wide variety of rules.

As the essence of a sea beast, the pet park is under strict management and would not allow Jiang Chen to extract it casually.

"We can only use the last bit of blood left from the narwhal!"

"Yes, as long as we can successfully upgrade Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw skill to proficiency before heading to the South Lake Underwater Grassland, then this expense will be worthwhile!"

That's right. Although the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures" absorbed a large amount of the blood of the Unicorn Iron Whale a few days ago, it still left some behind in the end.

The unicorn iron whale is, after all, a ruler-level sea beast with formidable strength, and its blood should still fetch a considerable sum.

Since the school's petting zoo couldn't get any blood, they had to use the last bit of Unicorn Iron Whale they had left!

With that in mind, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and swam toward the only pet shop in town.

A moment later, when Jiang Chen returned home, he found himself holding three bottles.

The leftmost glass bottle is the smallest, containing only 10 drops of bright red liquid.

But each drop of blood was edged with gold, making it look quite extraordinary.

Upon closer inspection, one can also see what appears to be a small, fish-cat-like figure in the middle of this special blood.

That's right, this is exactly 10 drops of the essence blood of a fish-cat sea monster.

The second glass bottle in the middle contained a lot of fresh blood, a large jar containing nearly a hundred drops.

However, the blood inside looked very ordinary, nothing special.

This second bottle of blood is the blood of the Arhat Fish sea beast, the preferred blood for body tempering practitioners, providing a special boost to physical tempering.

After obtaining the "Illustrated Compendium of Marine Creatures," Jiang Chen kept thinking about one question.

By obtaining a drop of sea beast essence blood, one can extract its skills and bloodline and transfer them to one's own pet.

So, if you extract the same skill multiple times and transfer it to your pet in the same way, can you speed up your pet's skill proficiency?

For example, Jiang Chen possesses 10 drops of the essence blood of a One-Tailed Fishing Cat. He extracts the Steel Crack Claw skill from each drop and transfers it to his own pet beast each time.

Will Xiao Jiu's skill level directly evolve from beginner to proficient or master?

It might even eventually break through to perfection?

Just now at the pet shop, Jiang Chen first bought a drop of a fish cat's essence blood to conduct an experiment.

The experimental results verified Jiang Chen's conjecture. After he used the drop of the One-Tailed Fishing Cat's essence blood, Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw skill immediately changed.

[Name] One-tailed fishing cat (Xiaojiu)

[Level] Early Awakening

[Bloodline] Late Awakening

[Skills] Steel Crack Claw (Beginner +1), Water Concealment (Beginner), Whale Breath Meditation (Beginner)

Yes, Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw skill has changed from "Beginner" to "Beginner +1"!

Jiang Chen also let Xiao Jiu test the skill effect. Sure enough, the power and casting speed of Xiao Jiu's Steel Crack Claw were improved!

This proves that Jiang Chen's idea was correct. As long as he has enough essence blood, he can directly upgrade Xiao Jiu's skill level from beginner to proficient!

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up immediately!

possible!

Now Xiao Jiu has a real chance to raise his Steel Crack Claw skill to proficiency when he goes to the Nanhu Underwater Grassland next month!

At that time, Xiao Jiu will be able to hunt to his heart's content on the South Lake Undersea Grassland and earn a lot of essence blood!

Excited, Jiang Chen immediately sold all the remaining blood of the Unicorn Iron Whale and exchanged it for 10 drops of the essence blood of a One-Tailed Fish Cat and a bottle of "Qiangyin Daoting" capsules.

With the last bit of money left, he exchanged it all for the blood of the Luohan fish and sea monster.

While capsules are useful, they can only provide temporary relief. The permanent solution for becoming a body cultivator is to improve one's physical constitution as quickly as possible.

Having successfully extracted and transferred another skill, Jiang Chen, who was originally in a sickly state, immediately became energetic and his eyes were bright after taking a capsule!

"Little Jiu, let's go, let's cultivate until dawn today!"

"First, use Steel Claw three hundred times, then use Water Concealment to run five laps around Ning Shui Town, while simultaneously using Whale Breath Meditation. If we don't complete the goal, we won't sleep tonight!"

"Dry it all!!!"

"Meow meow meow!!!"

Xiao Jiu, who was initially puzzled by her sudden increase in strength, immediately burst into tears upon hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Human, you're trying to kill me!
