33: Reencounter with Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui

Chapter 33: Encountering Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui Again

In front of the mountain wall.

“Hiss!”

Nangong Yan gasped, inhaling a mouthful of seawater!

Jiang Chen, as the Beast Tamer of the pet beast, also gasped, inhaling a mouthful of bloody seawater!

Is this... is this the damage of a combo skill? So powerful!

At this moment, the Arhat Fish sea beast in front of them had a very rich expression on its face!

There was the initial arrogant, mocking expression, and also the shock and bewilderment when death arrived!

It had no chance to adjust its expression anymore, because when Little Nine’s combo skill landed, it was instantly killed!

Its expression froze, stiffened there, like a mask!

The hard, thick scales on its gills had exploded like fragile porcelain shards, turning into countless red fragments.

The flesh beneath also seemed to have been struck by a massive force, turning into minced meat, bloody and mangled, with blood gushing out, creating a circle of blood mist around it!

Generally, if scratched by a feline sea beast, what's left are usually claw marks.

But for the Arhat Fish in front, after its scales were torn open by Little Nine’s Steel Rend Claw, a powerful force acted upon its flesh.

It was precisely because of this violent force that the moment Little Nine tore open the Arhat Fish’s defense, it instantly blew a large bloody hole in the Arhat Fish’s gills, killing it on the spot!

“Jiang Chen, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?” Nangong Yan turned around, his face dark as he stared at Jiang Chen and said.

His expression seemed to say, 'We clearly agreed to be at the bottom together, but you came first in the exam!'

Jiang Chen, you are shameless!

“This is a bit complicated to explain...”

Jiang Chen rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and still found an excuse, explaining that a few days ago, while training Little Nine, Little Nine learned the Brute Force skill of the Steel Claw Sea Dog.

Little Nine had just used the Brute Force + Steel Rend Claw combo skill, which was why it had such power, instantly killing the Arhat Fish by surprise.

It was foreseeable that with the practical training in the following days, Little Nine’s combo skill could not be hidden, unless he didn't want to make it onto the leaderboard.

Similarly, the process of Little Nine defeating the Arhat Fish just now should have also been seen by the school.

Since it couldn't be hidden, he could only confess.

“What? You said Little Nine learned the Steel Claw Sea Dog’s skill?” Nangong Yan’s eyes widened, his face even more bewildered and shocked.

“Yes, Little Nine seems to have a very good talent in learning skills, so in just one month, it has learned Steel Rend Claw and Water Concealment skills to proficient level.”

Since it couldn't be hidden, Jiang Chen decided to attribute everything to Little Nine’s talent.

Anyway, talent is intangible and shapeless; no one can verify it. This was also the wording Jiang Chen had thought of these past few days.

Sour!

Nangong Yan looked at Little Nine in front of him, truly sour!

This is too much!

He hadn't expected Little Nine, this One-Tailed Fishing Cat with such ordinary bloodline, only the lowest awakening level, to be so exaggerated in skill talent!

Jiang Chen had only contracted Little Nine for a short month, yet Little Nine not only cultivated its two innate skills to proficient level but also learned a Steel Claw Sea Dog skill!

This talent is terrifying, with a promising future!

In the history of Beast Tamers, there have been sea beasts similar to Little Nine, with ordinary sea beast bloodlines but extremely strong skill cultivation talent.

And those few sea beasts, without exception, all grew into overlord-level pet beasts in the future!

Nangong Yan’s eyes were red, and his mouth felt like he had eaten several lemons!

When Jiang Chen went to the pet beast shop to choose a pet beast, he went with him.

Nangong Yan swore that at that time, among so many One-Tailed Fishing Cats in the pool, Jiang Chen really just picked one randomly!

What kind of luck is this?

Picking one randomly and finding a treasure!

Nangong Yan couldn't help but swim in front of Little Nine, a lecherous expression like an old pervert on his face: “Little Nine, my bed at home is big and soft... Oh no, that’s not right!”

“My house is big and spacious, and there are all kinds of fresh sea fish, immortal herbs, and spiritual plants, all open for you to eat!”

“How about you follow me from now on? I promise to raise you to be plump and healthy!”

Nangong Yan coaxed with a beaming smile.

“Scram!”

Jiang Chen quickly came over and kicked Nangong Yan’s butt, telling him to get as far away as possible!

He even dared to covet his pet beast; he was simply tired of living!

“Meow!”

Little Nine cried out, also quickly hiding behind Jiang Chen, keeping away from this perverted old pervert, Nangong Yan!

Little Nine knew in its heart that its ability to cultivate its two skills to proficient level so quickly and learn the Brute Force skill was all thanks to Jiang Chen!

However, Jiang Chen had instructed it not to speak, so Little Nine could only pretend not to understand.

After killing the Arhat Fish with one move, Jiang Chen quickly took out a glass bottle and a waterproof bag to collect the Arhat Fish’s essence blood and fresh blood.

These were important materials for his body refinement; not a single drop could be wasted!

After quickly cleaning up the scene, Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan moved to a new hunting ground to search for new Arhat Fish.

Since Little Nine possessed such a powerful combo skill as Brute Force + Steel Rend Claw, there was no need for the two to switch hunting grounds.

Arhat Fish flesh was also beneficial for Little Nine and Tentacle Shrimp; after consuming the Arhat Fish flesh, their claws and shrimp pincers could become harder and sharper.

In addition, the price of Arhat Fish was nearly half higher than other sea beasts of the same level, making it a very high-quality prey. They should kill as many as possible.

Time flowed by, and before they knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and the light underwater grew dim.

Zhang Caiying and Zhao Hui, who had been fighting all day, each dragged a large net behind them, returning to the school ship with joyful expressions.

Both of their faces were filled with the joy of harvest; today they had killed nearly 8 late awakening level Arhat Fish!

Yesterday, the two had killed 7 late awakening level Arhat Fish, already securing first and second place on the leaderboard.

Today’s harvest was one more than yesterday, so the championship title for first place seemed secure!

“Splash!”

Just as the two were excitedly looking forward, at this moment, two people suddenly emerged from the corner of the mountain wall nearby.

These two were Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan.

Seeing them at first glance, Zhang Caiying was clearly stunned.

Hmm?

These two were so weak, they hadn't left yet?

Seeing what was behind them at second glance, Zhang Caiying was even more stunned, standing still like a statue!

Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan both dragged a huge fishing net behind them, and the net was full of Arhat Fish spoils!

And the volume of that fishing net was almost twice as large as theirs!

The two were completely dumbfounded, what... what was going on?
