Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 88 Prodigies from Various Cities (Please Subscribe)

Snow falling in the south would definitely have made headlines in every major section of the news in my previous life.

However, in this extraordinary water world, it's just an ordinary thing.

In winter, even the seawater at the equator freezes into glaciers, let alone the Lingnan province located on the Tropic of Cancer.

The sinking of the continent a thousand years ago had a profound impact on the world.

The entire town of Ningshui was blanketed in snow, the sea was frozen, and in this silver-clad world, apart from a few bewildered children building snowmen, there were very few other people around.

During the depths of winter, not only do most people and livestock stay indoors, but the activities of marine life also decrease significantly.

Most sea creatures are water-based rather than ice-based; ice-based sea creatures can move freely in water and ice.

Conversely, aquatic marine mammals find it difficult to move freely in ice, so the two are not equivalent.

Therefore, winter is the season of tacit truce between humans and sea creatures.

Whatever harsh words you want to say, let's wait until spring. I'm going home to hug my wife.

Also due to the winter season, the situation on the front lines eased considerably, and the Red Skull Devil Fangfish army retreated dozens of kilometers.

Nangong Yan's father, Nangong He, also took leave to go home and spend the New Year with his son.

Twenty minutes later, in a clean and spacious stilt house.

The fireplace in the living room burned slowly, emitting wisps of heat that kept the winter chill at bay.

The mahogany dining table was laden with food: golden-brown, glistening, and flavorful seal steaks; chewy turtle liver; sweet and crisp pickled sea vegetables; pan-fried, bright red prawns as long as an arm; and tender, pink abalone that squirted water with every bite…

Even right in the center of the table, there was a huge piece of braised shark spine meat!

A rich aura of spiritual energy wafted over me; it was the flesh and blood of a sea beast!

This was brought back by Nangong Yan's father from the front lines; it's not something you can usually buy in the market!

The food was so much more abundant than what you'd find in the school cafeteria that Jiang Chen ate with gusto, his mouth greasy with oil!

There's nothing to be shy about; after all, I've been eating here for over ten years, and I come here for a free meal every Chinese New Year.

"There are only four months left until the college entrance exam, you two should eat more!"

At the head of the table, a burly middle-aged man wearing a pure black sealskin cloak placed a piece of shark spine meat on Nangong Yan and Jiang Chen's plate, saying, "Work hard and strive for good grades!"

This middle-aged man transforms into Nangong Yan's father, Nangong He.

Beside the Nangong River stood a kind-looking middle-aged woman, Nangong Yan's mother.

"No problem, Dad. With my intelligence and handsome appearance, I'll definitely be able to get into Yingtian Beast Taming Academy this year!" Nangong Yan said, his mouth full of food, his words muffled.

His eyes shone brightly as he spoke, full of anticipation and confidence!

Because he awakened the [Tentacle Demon King] talent, his cultivation of the Tentacle Shrimp has become twice as effective with half the effort over the past two months, and the speed of his progress is something he never dared to imagine before.

Nangong Yan was very confident. With six months left until the college entrance examination, he figured that Tentacle Shrimp would be able to break through to the elite level without any problem!

"That's good!" Nangong He nodded in satisfaction. He had found it incredible that his lewd son had awakened a powerful beast-taming talent over the past few months.

After much thought and eliminating all impossible options, he finally came to the truth: his ancestral graves were emitting auspicious smoke!

Otherwise, how could God be so blind as to bestow such a powerful beast-taming talent upon his son at this crucial moment?

Therefore, over the past two months, Nangong He has completely exhausted his resources, selling everything he owns to buy various evolution materials and rare treasures for Nangong Yan, hoping that Nangong Yan can reach a higher level in cultivation!

"Jiang Chen, what about you? I heard from Nangong Yan that you contracted a fishing cat that is very good at learning skills, and it showed great strength and talent in the last practical training and Dark Beast Tamer competition."

In the eyes of Nangong Yan and other students, Jiang Chen was just lucky to have contracted a fishing cat with powerful learning skills.

In the eyes of teachers like Gao Hong and Zhao Zhong, Jiang Chen had awakened a top-tier beast-taming talent called "Dual Cultivation".

But only Jiang Chen himself knew that his strength was due to the erotic novel.

This whole operation puts the students on the first level, the teachers on the second level, and Jiang Chen on the fifth level!

"I'll try my best to get into Yingtian Beast Taming Academy, and at the very least, Lingnan University," Jiang Chen replied, swallowing a mouthful of fish.

Lingnan University is the premier beast-taming university in Lingnan Province, second only to Yingtian Beast Taming Academy in terms of status and strength.

Therefore, Jiang Chen's statement is flawless and best reflects his current status and situation.

Nangong Yan's college entrance exam strategy was similar: a backup plan would be Lingnan University, and then he would strive to get into Yingtian Beast Taming Academy.

"Very good, great!"

Nangong He nodded with satisfaction. This kid was very promising, especially Jiang Chen's performance in the past six months, which was truly amazing and impressive.

As a soldier who has been stationed on the front line, Jiang Chen's performance during this period was not only first in combat training, but more importantly, during the attack by the Dark Beastmasters, Jiang Chen's actions were even calmer and more outstanding than those of ordinary Beastmasters!

"The competition is fierce this year. Two geniuses have emerged from our Rongcheng alone." Nangong He then spoke of his experiences in the Beast Taming Corps.

"Which two?" Nangong Yan asked curiously. Jiang Chen's ears twitched, and he slowly raised his head from the food.

"The first one is Xie Junze, who has already been admitted to Yingtian Beast Taming Academy. Although he has been recommended for admission, it is said that he will also take the college entrance examination this time. He wants to prove himself."

"This Xie Junze is quite ambitious," Nangong Yan exclaimed in astonishment, "He's giving up a free recommendation opportunity and choosing a real fight!"

"He is very confident in his abilities," Jiang Chen said slowly.

"That's right," Nangong He continued, "This second genius is Gong Hao, the son of Gong Hong, the city magistrate of Rongcheng."

"He's also taking the college entrance exam this year, and his pet beast, like his father's, is a unicorn iron whale with a ruler-level bloodline!"

As soon as Nangong He finished speaking, the dining table fell slightly silent.

Nangong Yan stared wide-eyed, his mouth stuffed full of food.

Jiang Chen was also slightly taken aback, his eyes widening.

Alright, here comes a unicorn iron whale with a commander-level bloodline, which is one level higher than Xie Enze's extraordinary-level bloodline pet!

Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan's pet beasts are currently only at the elite level...

Commander-level bloodlines are level four sea beasts, extraordinary-level bloodlines are level three sea beasts, and elite-level bloodlines are level two sea beasts.

Damn, the difference is just too big!

Nangong He glanced at the two of them and gave a wry smile of empathy: "It's said that Xie Junze is taking the college entrance exam this year just to have a match with Gong Hao!"

"I wonder how their duel in the college entrance exam will go; it's bound to be exciting!"

"Besides these, there are several other talented students who are also quite famous, such as Zhao Ziyi from Changshan City, Jin Yue from Pengcheng City, and..."

Nangonghe rattled off several names in one breath, but Jiang Chen's ears perked up and he immediately spotted Zhao Ziyi from Changshan City.

After Nangong He finished speaking, Jiang Chen asked, "Uncle Nangong He, is Zhao Ziyi from Changshan City very strong?"

"Very strong!"

Nangong He stuffed a large piece of shark spine meat into his mouth, swallowed it twice, and replied without hesitation, "Changshan City is a first-tier city in Lingnan Province that is even more prosperous than our Rongcheng City!"

"The Zhao family is the premier beast-taming family in Changshan City, and Zhao Ziyi is a direct descendant of the Zhao family in this generation, truly showered with love and affection!"

"I heard from my superiors that Zhao Ziyi's strength is in no way inferior to Xie Enze and Gong Hao!"

"Those two prodigies from Shenzhen and Guangzhou are equally formidable!"

"These are the strongest contenders for the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination in Lingnan Province. Many people believe that the top scorer will emerge from among them."

Jiang Chen nodded silently. No wonder Zhao Ziyi, that king of dogs, seemed so arrogant. It turns out he really had the right to be arrogant!

The four people ate and drank at the table in a harmonious atmosphere.

However, while Nangong Yan was in the restroom, Nangong He suddenly took out a brocade bag full of Sea Spirit Pearls from his pocket and pushed it in front of Jiang Chen.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Jiang Chen was startled and instinctively pushed the bag of Sea Spirit Pearls back.

However, Jiang Chen was stopped halfway by a broad and powerful hand.

This scene left Jiang Chen bewildered, and Nangong Yan's mother was equally confused: "Honey, you..."

Nangong He slowly shook his head, then stared at Jiang Chen with his big eyes and said with utmost sincerity, "I've watched you and Nangong Yan grow up since you were little. You've always been smart, quick-witted, and meticulous. I know you'll achieve great things in the future."

"Compared to you, Nangong Yan is simply incomparable..."

"Although he is my own child, I have to admit that apart from being a womanizer, he has almost no other redeeming qualities."

"And this combat training and the Dark Beastmaster's sneak attack have completely proven you!"

"Although there are still four months until the college entrance examination, I believe that with your current intelligence and character, Jiang Chen, you will definitely be admitted to Yingtian Beast Taming Academy!"

"Your uncle has always treated you well. If there's an opportunity in the future, I hope you can lend Nangong Yan a hand!"

Nangong He's sudden move really caught Jiang Chen off guard!

"Uncle, you're exaggerating!"

Jiang Chen said urgently, "Ever since my parents' accident, you've been running around taking care of everything for me. I haven't even repaid you for that kindness yet!"

"And Nangong Yan and I grew up together, we're like brothers, so if I have the chance, I'll definitely help him, Uncle, don't worry!"

"That's true, but you still have to accept this gift!" Nangong He insisted.

"No, it's precisely because of my past relationship with Nangong Yan and you, Uncle, that I absolutely cannot accept this gift!" Jiang Chen's voice rose involuntarily.

The two remained locked in a stalemate until Nangong Yan returned from the restroom. Only then did Nangong He slowly withdraw his hand, allowing Jiang Chen to toss the brocade bag filled with Sea Spirit Pearls into his arms.

Nangong He subtly stuffed the brocade bag back into his arms, and the three of them tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened, as if nothing had occurred.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Chen took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes.

Nangong Yan's mother couldn't stop him, so she had to wash with Jiang Chen.

Every time Jiang Chen came over for a meal, he would take the initiative to do some housework, which showed that he was very sensible.

After finishing his chores and exchanging a few polite words with Nangong He, Jiang Chen returned to his school dormitory to continue his secluded cultivation.

However, after returning to his school dormitory, Jiang Chen limped and headed towards Jian Qingqiu's dormitory first.
