Chapter 723 - 315: Are You Sure You Want to Battle Him? He’s Strong—Very Strong

He comes from a family of seafarers, and for generations, they’ve all been fishermen.

But in the new era of Spiritual Energy Revival, ordinary fishermen can no longer meet the demands of the times. New-generation fishermen usually become Beastmasters, catching Spirit Fish and edible Water-type Pet Beasts with the help of modern technology and Pet Beasts.

A scholar recently published a paper in an academic journal titled "The Relationship Between Spirit Fish and Fish Pet Beasts," which Chen Yuan skimmed through.

According to the survey research, ordinary fish have two evolution paths: one is Spirit Fish, which is delicious, nutritious, and possesses mild extraordinary abilities.

The second is Fish Pet Beasts, which vary in shape, usually have average taste, low nutritional levels but can possess extraordinary abilities like other Pet Beasts.

The Water Leaping Carp Chen Yuan encountered by the seaside belongs to the second type.

A viewpoint in the paper previously drew wide attention; the scholar believes only rivers can nurture Fish Pet Beasts, while small rivers and streams can only give birth to Spirit Fish.

Chen Yuan deeply agreed with this.

He has been in Qinling for a long time, following Run Run Duck visiting lakes and rivers near Xuanhe Town, and has never seen Fish Pet Beasts.

Initially, he thought fish could only evolve into Spirit Fish, naturally destined to be swallowed.

But that’s not the case.

Chen Yuan hesitated slightly: "Would this disturb you?"

Zhang Bai shook his head decisively: "No, I’ve just been resting during this period."

However, just after saying this, Zhang Bai frowned and hesitated: "But I do have to attend an event tomorrow which might delay by a day."

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "It’s okay, I’ll just explore around."

Suddenly, Zhang Bai’s eyes lit up, and his brows relaxed: "There’s another way, Advisor Chen, you can join us in the event together, and then go to Manlan Island, which won’t delay your schedule."

"What event?"

"An exorcism event hosted by the Binhai City Beastmaster Association. Many Beastmasters will join and head out to sea together," Zhang Bai replied.

Chen Yuan became interested: "Exorcism event?"

The name piqued his curiosity.

Zhang Bai nodded repeatedly and explained in detail: "According to the announcement by the Association, a group of Furious Sea Sharks have swum from the eastern ocean into this area. They might threaten passing ships or even endanger people onshore, needing us to expel them from this region."

Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed, recalling the basic info on Furious Sea Sharks.

The Furious Sea Shark, a Water-type Pet Beast, naturally born as a Commander, typically operates in groups, and is ferocious, hunting various creatures indiscriminately.

However, this Pet Beast usually resides deep in the ocean and rarely approaches the shore; only by sailing on ocean-faring ships might you encounter them.

This type of Pet Beast is extremely dangerous, notoriously fierce, having caused multiple incidents of ship damage worldwide.

These cruel creatures approaching Binhai City indeed spell bad news.

Various thoughts flashed by quickly, and hoping to advance Twin Flower Concubine sooner, Chen Yuan decisively nodded: "Alright, let’s do it."

Just right to use this group of Furious Sea Sharks to pay the ship fees.

"Okay." Zhang Bai’s face showed joy, as if assisting Advisor Chen was his greatest honor.

Zhang Bai was about to deepen his bond with Advisor Chen when his mobile phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out and answered: "Hello."

"Zhang Bai, have you finished handling your matters?"

A familiar spicy tone.

Zhang Bai replied: "What’s up?"

Nan spoke: "If you’ve finished, quickly return for the battle, Li Zhen is still waiting on you."

Zhang Bai’s face froze: "I thought I forfeited?"

Nan responded: "You did forfeit, but Li Zhen said winning this way is dull, so he rescheduled your match for the final round."

"If you can return within an hour, you can still catch it."

"We’re waiting for you."

After hanging up, Zhang Bai smiled helplessly: "This guy..."

Then, he turned to Chen Yuan and explained: "I’m participating in a small competition hosted by a Combat Club today, with a grade three Spirit Plant as the champion prize."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Don’t let my arrival hinder you from getting your prize; you should go ahead, and I’ll explore around."

Zhang Bai turned, eyes shining slightly: "Advisor Chen, would you like to experience the combat atmosphere of our Binhai City?"

"Hmm?"

An hour later,

Chen Yuan and Zhang Bai arrived at a private Combat Club, where a short-haired woman and a bulky middle-aged man awaited them, waving enthusiastically: "Come on, the match is about to begin."

When Zhang Bai arrived panting, he pointed to Chen Yuan while bending and back bowing: "Nan, Tian, let me introduce to you, this is Advisor Chen..."

Chen Yuan interrupted with a smile: "Let’s save introductions for later; you should enter the competition first."

"Mm!"

Zhang Bai nodded heavily, then quickly ran into the club.

Chen Yuan looked at the two remaining and smiled, introducing himself: "Hello, I’m Chen Yuan."

Nan’s delicate and charming face wore a nervous smile, she instinctively smoothed her short hair, then extended her right hand cautiously: "Advi... Advisor Chen, I’ve heard much about you."

Tian radiated mature charm, sporting an ultra-trendy American forward style, smiling casually: "Advisor Chen, welcome to Binhai City."

The three walked into the club side by side, and Tian broke the silence: "As you see, we’re a small team."

Upon hearing this, Nan abruptly turned, eyes slightly widened, and tugged at Tian’s sleeve.

Only then did Tian realize his introduction was inappropriate, but he showed no embarrassment, adopting a different approach: "No, a small team."
