Chapter 131: Jiang Chen, You're So Shameless! (3rd update, please subscribe)

"Jiang Chen, what did that beauty give you just now?" On the Underwater Great Wall, as soon as Yan Mengmeng left, Nangong Yan immediately leaned over curiously, looking at the item in Jiang Chen's hand.

"It's a betting slip," Jiang Chen explained. "These underground casinos only recognize the slip, not the person."

"Regardless of who wins in the end, you can redeem the prize money with this slip."

This was normal. Even black market schools were not allowed, so the underground casino Yan Mengmeng opened was naturally even less permitted, otherwise Yan Mengmeng wouldn't have snuck over just now.

If they used real names, wouldn't they all be caught in one swoop if something happened?

Jiang Chen looked in the direction Yan Mengmeng had left, seeing that as she departed, the eyes of many students around also fell on her.

And among these people, many held betting slips identical to the one in Jiang Chen's hand.

"In just a few days since school started, this woman has already carved out such a large market."

Jiang Chen shook his head. He didn't know about other things, but this woman was truly skilled at making money!

Huh???

Just then, a flash of insight suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes. He thought of something and became pleasantly surprised.

He quickly moved closer to Nangong Yan and whispered a few words into his ear.

Nangong Yan's expression froze, then he stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"Jiang Chen, you... you're so shameless!"

"Stop talking nonsense, are you in or not?"

"Such an exciting thing, of course I'm in!"

"Alright, it's settled then!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Amidst their whispered conversation, it was finally their turn to enter the battlefield.

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate at all, stepping his left foot onto the battlements and diving straight down without another word!

"Splash!"

Successfully entering the water, Jiang Chen quickly dove deep, reaching the seabed more than ten meters below the Underwater Great Wall. At the same time, his arm muscles bulged, turning golden!

In no time, Jiang Chen dug a cave in the seabed and burrowed inside!

After doing all this, Jiang Chen finally let out a slight sigh of relief, crouching in the cave and looking out.

He saw the surging surface of the sea above him like soft clouds in the sky, and students, one after another, fell like dumplings from the heavens.

Almost all of these people acted like Jiang Chen: as soon as they entered the water, they immediately activated their Man-Beast Unity skill or summoned their pet beasts, quickly diving and digging holes!

This was a smart move.

The sea area in front of the Underwater Great Wall was only a dozen meters deep.

This depth would be severely affected by typhoons and tsunamis. If one didn't want to be carried by the waves and slammed into the hard Underwater Great Wall, knocked unconscious or injured on the spot, digging a hole was the only choice!

"Buzz..."

Even before the hundred-meter tsunami arrived, Jiang Chen, hiding in his seabed cave, felt a violent tremor from the seabed.

If the seabed was a giant floor, then he was like a small bead in a depression on that floor. As the floor buzzed and trembled, he, like that bead, uncontrollably bounced around.

On the seabed, he was not in control of himself!

While scanning his surroundings, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and still summoned Chuyun. Then, the pet beast phantom of the Two-Tailed Fishing Cat appeared on his body. The pet beast phantom enveloped both Jiang Chen and his Chuyun.

Under Jiang Chen's command, Chuyun released its Lighthouse Guardian skill, protecting Jiang Chen and Xiaojiu.

And Xiaojiu's pet beast phantom, in turn, protected Jiang Chen and Chuyun.

Dual protection, both spiritual and material, was complete!

At the same time, Jiang Chen instantly activated his Golden Body, transforming into a Golden Giant, fully armed to the teeth!

The moment the first wave of tsunami arrived, the moment the hundred-meter wave crashed onto the Underwater Great Wall, the impact force would be incredibly shocking!

He would likely have a brief moment of unconsciousness, and a large number of sea beasts would also arrive. Jiang Chen was taking precautions in advance, and also to avoid being caught off guard if a sea beast accidentally got swept near him.

The "Typhoon Freshman Hegemony Tournament" would last all day, from morning until dark.

Throughout the competition, the Heavenly Eye Great Array would monitor and tally the number of sea beasts hunted by the examinees.

Each examinee could only hunt alone; cooperation was not allowed, and cooperative scores would be invalid.

Awakening-stage sea beasts were 1 point, mid-stage 3 points, late-stage 6 points.

Elite-stage sea beasts were 10 points, mid-stage 30 points, late-stage 60 points.

Whoever had the highest score would be the first place in this Freshman Hegemony Tournament.

The spoils of war from hunted sea beasts belonged to the students; the school would not take a single thread.

Finally, the most important point to note was that although some teachers would escort and protect students on the sea surface during this Freshman Hegemony Tournament.

However, no student could carry external objects such as spirit artifacts, elixirs, or talismans, nor did the school provide protective spirit artifacts for the students.

This meant that if students were defeated during the battle below, they could very likely be injured, or even die!

Yes, every year in the Typhoon Freshman Hegemony Tournament, students were injured to death!

Yingtian Academy's explanation for this was: "Being a Beast Tamer is a high-risk, high-casualty profession; death is inevitable.

We will not deliberately avoid death, because this is the price every student must pay for growth!

Moreover, rather than letting students die outside later, it's better to die here at school; at least your remains can be left behind!

Battle is never child's play!"

These words were cruel and cold.

If students did not agree with the school's philosophy, they could choose not to participate in the Typhoon Freshman Hegemony Tournament, just like Yan Mengmeng.

But if they chose to, they must be mentally prepared, prepared to face death to live!

Jiang Chen deeply agreed with the school's philosophy.

The school had many departments, such as the Nurturing Department, Spirit Plant Department, and Artifact Refining Department, which were not specifically responsible for combat.

If you lacked bloodlust, it was better to retreat from the front lines earlier and stay behind to nurture pet beasts.

Combat and war were inherently cruel.

Life was precious, and realizing this earlier was always better than regretting it later.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Amidst Jiang Chen's jumbled thoughts, the seabed beneath him trembled even more violently, as if about to flip over.

The sound of surging water above also became more intense!

Jiang Chen looked up and saw that in the direction of the Barren Sea, a few hundred meters away, the sea surface was pitch black, a dense darkness carrying heavy pressure!

And this pitch blackness, like lightning, rapidly spread, transforming the entire sea area into a dark space!

On the surface was a hundred-meter-high wall of water, and the underwater wall of water was also tens of meters high, rumbling like a barrier standing between heaven and earth, crushing down magnificently!

"It's here!"

Jiang Chen let out a low shout. His strong golden hands and feet directly plunged into the surrounding cave walls, while his body moved downwards, protecting Chuyun below.

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

Amidst an earth-shattering roar, the hundred-meter tsunami crashed into the Underwater Great Wall!

Jiang Chen felt like his ears were going deaf!
