“Welcome to the water arcane realm, young man!” It was a topless muscular man wearing floral shorts. His whole body was sun-tanned and only his white teeth were exposed.
Fang Yuan nodded and asked, “May I know how I can obtain the water arcane realm certification?”
The hot-blooded man waved his fist and said, “That’s a great question. Since we’re at the beach, we should enjoy the sea breeze, the beach, and the Sun!”
A gust of wind vaguely whistled past. Fang Yuan felt a chill down his spine. Was this man too hot-blooded?
But then, the muscular man began to introduce himself, “I’m the guardian of the water arcane realm, Shuiwen.”
With a bang, a banner was put up behind Shuiwen. Then, a few pet crabs were starting the fireworks.
Shuiwen pressed the knuckles on his hands and caused the cracking sound. His clenched fists seemed to be on fire.
For a moment, Fang Yuan felt that there was something wrong with this person’s brain, and he could not help but take a few steps back.
Shuiwen roared, “Such good weather, if we just sleep, it would be a waste! Let’s have a good sports meet!”
As the uncle had said, the certification of the water arcane realm was completely different from what he had seen before.
“The first round! A swimming competition! As a water-type pet, how could it not know how to swim? Our water arcane realm’s representative team is sending out a contestant!”
A puff of smoke dispersed, and a beautiful mermaid with extremely good figure in a bikini appeared in front of everyone in a seductive manner.
“It’s our three-time swimming champion — Mermaid Lady.”
Fang Yuan was almost shocked. There was such a pet beast. Wasn’t this a pet beast that seriously violated human ethics? If it was captured by humans, it was hard to imagine what would happen to it.
No wonder there were people from the Pet Beast Ethics Association.
He picked up his watch and looked at the attributes of Mermaid Lady.
[ Scientific name: Shallow-sea mermaid ]
[ Bloodline: ??? ]
[ Rarity: Gold high-grade ]
[ Level: Level five intermediate ]
[ Attributes: Fish, water ]
[ Positioning: Support/defense ]
[ Skills: ??? ]
[ Personality: ??? ]
[ Preferences: ??? ]
Fang Yuan saw rows of question marks on the information, and his heart was full of question marks. Other than the attributes such as grade and level, the rest was unknown. It was very likely that it was a new species that humans had discovered but had not truly captured.
The mermaid lady blew a flying kiss at the audience, then approached the seahorse and made a gesture to compare its height.
The seahorse was a lot shorter.
However, the seahorse didn’t seem to care about this and still looked indifferent.
“Young man, if you have other pets, you can also summon them to watch the competition. As long as you don’t participate in the competition, you won’t be expelled from the arcane realm.” Unknowingly, a pair of sunglasses appeared on Shuiwen’s face. He even deliberately raised his sunglasses, and said with a smile.
“No, thanks” Fang Yuan did not know what kind of bad taste he had. In any case, he was not interested at all. He just wanted to win the competition as soon as possible.
With a bang, a crab pressed the signal gun, announcing the start of the competition.
“The mermaid jumped into the water with extremely graceful movements. Her target is a small island 10 kilometers away. This is a competition of endurance and speed! Miss. Mermaid has already swum 500 meters unknowingly. Let’s turn back and look at the iced seahorse. Eh? It is still on the shore. What is it doing? Is it giving up on the competition?” Shuiwen picked up the microphone from somewhere, and started explaining the sports meet passionately.
Then, he looked at Fang Yuan, not knowing what Fang Yuan was up to.
Fang Yuan smiled and said, “Xiao Bing, if you want to help uncle take revenge, just do this. So what if I let her swim one kilometer ahead.”
On the television screen, Mermaid Lady had already swum past the one kilometer mark line.
“Let’s go, Xiao Bing.” Following Fang Yuan’s command, the seahorse also jumped into the sea and began to catch up with the mermaid at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
All the pet beasts were shocked. The seahorse’s swimming speed was even faster than that of a fish. It was simply unimaginable.
That was because Fang Yuan had strengthened its level. Pet beasts above level 10 would have a double attribute bonus because very few people had raised their pet beasts to this level.
The competition had entered its climax. The mermaid and the seahorse were now only 100 meters apart, and they were only 500 meters away from the finish line.
With this speed, the seahorse was sure to win. At this moment, the mermaid suddenly spat out a string of bubbles, which surrounded the seahorse.
“Miss. Mermaid used a bubble attack to temporarily imprison the opponent. This is allowed by the rules!” Shuiwen explained, thinking that Fang Yuan would protest.
However, Fang Yuan did not seem to care. Instead, he showed a confident smile.
“Xiao Bing, use freeze.”
Just as the mermaid was about to reach the finish line, she suddenly realized that her entire body could not move.
At this moment, the seahorse had already broken through the bubble group!
It was heading straight for the finish line.
The mermaid revealed an expression of disbelief. She had been struggling hard, trying to break through the shackles of ice.
The iced seahorse had actually frozen the water in the distance. This move was really a godly control skill. As long as the opponent’s pet was in the water or there was water around it, it would be frozen. The duration was not very long, only 30 seconds.
However, these 30 seconds were enough for the seahorse to surpass the mermaid!
“Oh my God, the little seahorse completed its comeback before the finish line! It won against the Mermaid Lady, and the Mermaid Lady lost her fourth consecutive championships,” Shuiwen explained enthusiastically, as if the mermaid lady was not his pet.
In fact, the mermaid was not Shuiwen’s pet. He was just the guardian of the arcane realm, guarding the rules of the arcane realm.
He closed his eyes and summoned the seahorse and the mermaid back to the beach.
“Congratulations on winning the first round. This is your reward.”
Shuiwen walked up to Fang Yuan, took out a crystal clear stone, and put his hand beside Fang Yuan’s ear, saying, “This is [ mermaid’s tear ] , a treasure that the mermaid lady cried out after losing the competition. I haven’t seen it for a long time.”
Fang Yuan took the mermaid’s tear.
[ Ding! Mermaid’s tear detected. Grade: Gold intermediate ]
[ Do you wish to receive a 100 times increase? ]
[ Host can choose from the following ways to receive the increase. ]
[ First, give up the 100 times increase and receive a gold intermediate-grade Mermaid’s tear. ]
[ Second, receive a 100 times increase in quality. You will receive a platinum low-grade Mermaid’s tear. After use, your maximum mana limit will increase by 100%, and your mana recovery speed will increase by 100% . ]
[ Third, receive a 100 times increase in effect and obtain a gold intermediate-grade Mermaid’s tear. Mana will recover by 1,000% after use. Can Overflow. ]
So the mermaid’s tear was just a battle potion.
In battle, it could recover the mana value of the pet, which meant that the pet could release a few more skills.
To the opponent, this might be a treasure to increase mana!
After choosing the platinum low-grade Mermaid’s tear, he threw it into his backpack.
The second round of the sports meet was about to begin.
