Chapter 124: Upgrade, Elite Mid-stage (4th update, seeking subscriptions)
Night, the sky was full of stars.
The other sea areas were pitch black, but here at the Crimson Tide Warm Current, the surrounding sea surface was bright, reflecting a world of fiery red.
As Jiang Chen walked out of the white curtain, he immediately saw two pairs of wide blue eyes; they belonged to Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun.
The two beasts stared at him intently, their eyes a little unable to open fully.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen felt a bit unnatural being stared at by the two beasts and asked, puzzled.
As he spoke, Jiang Chen's swollen body gradually shrank to its normal size, and the golden color on his body also faded, returning to his normal skin tone.
This scene was quite magical, as if his previous transformation into a Golden Giant was an illusion.
Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun swam towards Jiang Chen. Xiao Jiu's delicate nose twitched, and her fluffy body circled Jiang Chen, sniffing him.
"What's up?" Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Jiu's actions, confused.
"Meow meow."
Who exactly are you?
Are you still my poop-scooper?
I've been a cat for so many years, and I've never seen a Beast Tamer more powerful than his own pet!
Tell me, are you an impostor disguised by other sea beasts using the Hundred Transformations Technique?
By the last sentence, Xiao Jiu angrily raised her cat paw and furiously slapped the sea surface, looking like she was raging impotently.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile wryly. He reached out his hands and rubbed Xiao Jiu's large head, which felt incredibly good: "You've been with me for so long, don't you know if I'm your master?"
"Meow meow!"
But you're too outrageous!
I can't even beat you anymore!
"Isn't that great?" Jiang Chen laughed, continuing to vigorously rub the large, soft pillow in front of him: "From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, tell me, and I'll beat them to death!"
"A truly powerful Beast Tamer should protect his pet, shouldn't he?"
Jiang Chen's words left Xiao Jiu stunned for a long time. After a while, her eyes lit up!
Meow meow, so does this mean I can sleep in every day from now on?
Hehe, poop-scooper, you can just go fight by yourself!
"Whack!" Jiang Chen gave Xiao Jiu a rap on the head, saying speechlessly, "Dream on!"
"If you can't protect me, it means you're not diligent enough in your cultivation. From now on, your daily training will be doubled until you can protect me!"
"Meow meow!!" Xiao Jiu's face immediately fell.
"Squeak squeak!!"
After talking to Xiao Jiu, Jiang Chen held Chu Yun in his left hand.
At this time, Chu Yun had already advanced to the Elite Mid-stage, so its body was much larger, already the size of a face, usually floating above Jiang Chen's head like a hat.
Yes, after two months of secluded cultivation, both Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun were already in the Elite Mid-stage, and the strength of both beasts had undergone earth-shattering changes!
[Species] Two-Tailed Fishing Cat (Xiao Jiu)
[Level] Elite Mid-stage
[Bloodline] Elite Late-stage
[Skills] Exploding Steel Claw (Mastery), Brute Force (Mastery), Multiple Water Clones (+25), Stealth Escape (Mastery), Double Whip (Mastery), Whale Breath Meditation Technique (Mastery), Hundred Transformations Technique (Mastery)
[Species] Lighthouse Jellyfish (Chu Yun)
[Level] Elite Mid-stage
[Bloodline] Extraordinary Late-stage
[Skills] Lighthouse Guardian (Mastery), Healing Rain (Mastery), Psychic Hammer (Mastery), Intermediate Healing Technique (Mastery)
After two months of arduous cultivation, the attribute data of Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun could only be described as magnificent!
Honestly, the data of most Level 3 Extraordinary pets might not even compare to Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun!
The proficiency of all skills was at Mastery!
All skills were also Intermediate-level skills!
Xiao Jiu's original Low-level skill Water Escape advanced to the Intermediate-level skill Stealth Escape.
The original Low-level skill Tail Whip advanced to the Intermediate-level skill Double Whip.
The number of Multiple Water Clones also reached 25 at once.
Xiao Jiu's strength was truly formidable, able to easily pummel Level 3 sea beasts!
Chu Yun also learned two additional Intermediate-level skills, Psychic Hammer and Intermediate Healing Technique.
This time, in the Typhoon Freshman Hegemony Tournament, Jiang Chen truly didn't know how he could lose!
"Squeak squeak squeak, Chu Yun is still the best, diligently cultivating every day." Jiang Chen held Chu Yun in his left hand and gave it a thumbs-up with his right hand, praising it.
Upon receiving the praise, Chu Yun's blue eyes immediately narrowed into a happy slit, and several jelly-like jellyfish tentacles also extended to hug Jiang Chen's finger, creating a very warm scene.
"Squeak squeak!"
Master, you haven't given me the training reward you promised!
...Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's face darkened, feeling very troubled inside.
Chu Yun, you are my pet, isn't it normal for you to cultivate and grow stronger to protect me?
Why do you always demand payment after every cultivation session?
Your master is also very poor!
Sighing, Jiang Chen still obediently took out a sea spirit pearl from his Storage Seashell and gave it to Chu Yun.
Upon seeing this sea spirit pearl, Chu Yun's blue eyes immediately transformed into large, sparkling, K-Pop idol-like eyes!
"Squeak squeak!"
Thank you, Master! Long live Master!
Sure enough, still a child, a single sea spirit pearl is enough to coax you like this.
After a few more words with his two pets, Jiang Chen rode on Xiao Jiu's back and swam back to school with a splashing sound.
He remembered that today was September 1st, the start of the school year. The school should be very lively now, right?
As for Jiang Chen skipping school?
Don't be ridiculous, he was a direct disciple of the principal; he had this small privilege!
Soon, Jiang Chen returned to Yingtian Island.
Indeed, the school was bustling with excitement at this time, with many new students celebrating the start of school, and a festive atmosphere everywhere.
As Cat Rider Jiang Chen returned to his dormitory, the communication light shadow seashell in his arms suddenly vibrated violently.
Jiang Chen took out the communication light shadow seashell. The shell displayed the four characters "Nangong Munsao" (Nangong Yan), referring to Nangong Yan.
"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, where have you been? Why couldn't I get through to you all day today!" After pressing answer, Nangong Yan's head immediately appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
The mobile communication light shadow seashells bought by Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan were both Level 2 spirit artifacts, with a communication range of only 100 kilometers. Jiang Chen had gone to the Crimson Tide Warm Current, so he naturally couldn't be reached.
"I went to the Crimson Tide Warm Current to cultivate," Jiang Chen said.
At this moment, he saw that Nangong Yan seemed to be in the midst of a barbecue stall, surrounded by new students celebrating the start of school.
"I give up, your title of cultivation maniac is indeed well-deserved. You even ran off to cultivate on the first day of school."
"Come, come, hurry to the barbecue stall in the East Market to eat. Geng Ben, Shi Shan, and the others are here too. We haven't had a get-together with our classmates in a long time!"
Nangong Yan said, moving the camera, and several familiar faces appeared before Jiang Chen: Geng Ben, Shi Shan, and the others.
"Alright, I'll head over now," Jiang Chen replied.
Going to a gathering after cultivating was a good choice, and it was true that he hadn't seen these people since the College Entrance Examination ended. A get-together would be nice.
Immediately, Jiang Chen rode Xiao Jiu towards the East Market commercial street.
(This is the 6th extra update for boss "Still Drinking Wine", finally paid off the debt! Now I only owe boss "Zanarkand" one chapter!
May I ask, which other boss wants good fortune as vast as the East Sea and longevity comparable to the Southern Mountains, and wants me to provide extra updates?
