Chapter 92: The Final Challenge of Water Arcane Realm
At this moment, it was the last event of the sports meet, long jump.
The opponent of the iced seahorse was the jumping frog. As the name implied, the jumping frog was best at jumping. It was often used to send ropes to the top of the mountain when mining in the deep mountains and forests. It was not good at fighting, but it was the best partner for many people.
The long jump of the jumping frog was 12 meters. Based on its height, this was an extremely exaggerated result.
The long jump here did not only calculate the length, but the length being divided by the height to calculate the score. The jumping frog was 0.5 meters tall, so its score was 24 points.
The length of the seahorse was 80 centimeters. If it wanted to surpa.s.s the jumping frog, it needed to jump at least 17 meters.
“Uncle is indeed a man who has challenged the certification of the water arcane realm.” Fang Yuan thought to himself. Almost every skill of the iced seahorse was specially prepared for the sports meet, whether it was to deal with mermaids who could use bubbles, or to deal with the champion diving worm. and its last skill, [ flexibility ] , was completely tailor-made for the long jump.
After Xiao Bing, the little iced seahorse jumped on the spot twice, its body became like a spring.
“Flexibility is the third skill of the iced seahorse. It can make the seahorse’s body soft and elastic.”
As the seahorse jumped up and down again and again, the height of the seahorse’s jump had reached an exaggerated degree.
After it finished accelerating, it jumped towards the finish line.
21 meters!
Without a doubt, Xiao Bing defeated the jumping frog and became the champion of the long jump!
“You really surprised me, Fang Yuan.” Shuiwen walked towards Fang Yuan who originally thought that he would give him a piece of equipment or material dropped from a frog. However, Shuiwen actually gave him an evolution material for seahorses — [ Seahorse Urchin ] !
“You can give it to your pet beast first,” Shuiwen said with bad intentions. “There’s still one final match, and it won’t be so easy.”
He handed the seahorse urchin to Xiao Bing, but it refused to take it. It seemed that it was completely uninterested in evolution.
“Xiao Bing, getting the certification of water arcane realm is Uncle’s dream.” Fang Yuan remembered that uncle had told him his name which sounded like the name of a pa.s.serby, but he had forgotten about it. He therefore directly called the owner of the pet shop of the heart of the sea “Uncle”.
The uncle seemed to have a very important position in Xiao Bing’s heart, and he did not know how they met.
It was extremely rare for humans and pets to have a close relationship, especially since the uncle did not actually form a soul contract with it. They just lived together.
The uncle was old and no longer had the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. He no longer had the qualifications to challenge the certification of arcane realm. Perhaps what he had been waiting was someone who could break through and obtain the certification of water arcane realm.
Fang Yuan just happened to appear and Xiao Bing happened to be the key to the breakthrough.
After hesitating for a long while, Xiao Bing closed her eyes and began to absorb the [ sea horse urchin ] .
The biggest difference between using evolution materials and using evolution potions was that there was no side effects.
Soon, Xiao Bing completed her evolution. Compared to her previous appearance, she had grown a lot. Now, she was almost one meter long.
[ Scientific name: Freezing Seahorse. ]
[ Bloodline: None. ]
[ Quality: Platinum low-grade. ]
[ Level: Level 15 (grade five high-tier) ]
[ Attributes: Beast, water. ]
[ Positioning: Support/special. ]
[ Skills: 1. Freezing; 2. Area of effect deceleration; 3. Flexibility; 4. Mimicry (in water)]
[ Personality: Tsundere. ]
Mimicry was no longer unfamiliar to Fang Yuan. This evolution material seemed to be a little monotonous. It had only evolved the stasis skill into area of effect deceleration.
After challenging the water realm, Fang Yuan realized that the pet world was not just a matter of strength. There were also many strong support skills. For example, the mermaid’s deceleration, the earthworm’s detection, the jumping frog’s jumping ability, and so on. Water-type pet beasts might not be as strong as other types of pet beasts in terms of combat strength, but in terms of support, they were irreplaceable.
It seemed to be three or four o’clock in the afternoon, and the Sun was no longer as fierce as it was in the afternoon. After a long sports meet, the last event finally came.
Shuiwen brought Fang Yuan to a place that looked like an aquarium. The audience seats next to it were still full. In the middle of the arena, there was a huge transparent fish tank that was as big as a lake.
“Let it in. We’ll start the last event. As long as you can beat it, the certification of the water arcane realm will be yours.”
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the creature in the fish tank. The huge, sharp teeth seemed to have told Fang Yuan its ident.i.ty — Shark.
[ Scientific name: Deep Sea Clear Shadow Shark. ]
[ Bloodline: Grohl. ]
[ Rarity: Platinum mid-grade. ]
[ Level: Level one high tier ]
[ Attributes: Fish, water. ]
[ Positioning: Attack/a.s.sa.s.sin. ]
[ Skills: 1. Stab; 2. Bite; 3. Accelerate; 4. Bleed. ]
This shark was obviously a water-type pet killer. In the water, aside from the dragon-type pet, it was the most aggressive. It was over two meters long and its teeth were as sharp as steel.
“Xiao Bing, can you defeat it?” Fang Yuan could not help but look at Xiao Bing, its face was still showing an indifferent expression.
He could only try his best, because Fang Yuan did not have any other water type pet.
After this battle, Fang Yuan finally understood that he could not deviate in the future. His pet beasts were mostly land type and flying type, and they were not good at fighting in the water.
The talents that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion wanted to groom were those who were developed in all aspects.
The people of the fire country all worshipped the battle between the fire and metal elements, and their control over the water element was rather weak. It was no wonder that the business of the uncle’s pet shop was not doing well, because there were not many water element pet lovers.
Xiao Bing jumped fearlessly into the fish tank.
The shark swam back and forth beside Xiao Bing, as if it was sizing up its prey before its eyes.
“Are you ready?” Shuiwen looked at Fang Yuan with a questioning gaze.
Fang Yuan nodded.
“Okay then, the compet.i.tion begins!” After Shuiwen announced the official start of the compet.i.tion, the shark could not wait to start its attack.
“Freeze!”
When the shark instantly turned to bit Xiao Bing’s neck, as if it was an animal instinct, Xiao Bing immediately used the freezing skill to temporarily control the shark, allowing it to escape.
“Slow it down.” Fang Yuan commanded Xiao Bing. He was still looking for the shark’s weakness, but he knew that before he found its weakness, he must not let the shark bite Xiao Bing. Otherwise, it would definitely be in great danger.
The slowdown would cause the movement and attack speed of the pet in the target’s range to decrease by — 50%.
The duration was only 30 seconds. Fang Yuan had to think of a way to defeat the clear shadow shark during this time!
