The port was in complete chaos, and Luo Yu and the others finally managed to get back onto the Raging Blue.
Since the Raging Blue had not yet begun repairs, it could only travel slowly for the next hundred kilometers, Shui Wuyue dared not accelerate.
The atmosphere on the ship was somewhat heavy.
The island's owner, Bai Ya, Shui Wuyue, Yu Wan all had mixed feelings.
It should be noted that Mirror Moon Island had high hopes for Luo Yu's participation in the Abyss Trial, but who could have imagined that he would encounter such a formidable opponent just by coming to build a ship?
Mid-Rank Monarch Species... Luo Yu might still have a chance if he relies on the evolved monarch July and the customized Water Devil Beast.
But the Upper-Tier Monarch Species... simply doesn't know how to win.
"Coo coo coo!" Compared to the somber mood of Jingyue and the others, July was much more carefree. Finally back on the ship, it immediately took out its fishing rod and seized every opportunity to fish!
"The new Beast Taming from Dragon Boat Island in previous years haven't been particularly strong, and Dragon Boat Island has never won the Abyss Trial championship..."
"But this time, that young man named Ji Han encountered the Sea of Evolution. After his pet beast evolved, he's undoubtedly a favorite to win the championship," Liu Yun said. "Now, the geniuses of the Azure Billows Continent are going to be under immense pressure."
"As expected, Dragon Boat Island will definitely concentrate its resources on training Ji Han intensively for the next period of time..." "In addition, Winter Pole Shipbuilding Company and their Winter Pole Fleet are also very powerful companies. They will definitely go all out this time. Who knows, the final championship might really be Ji Han's."
Luo Yu said sadly from the side, "Really, the Sea of Evolution has ruined me. Suddenly a powerful enemy appeared and stole my championship."
"Hey, hey, hey," Shi Qianqian patted Luo Yu on the shoulder and said, "You really want to win the championship?"
"Even without Ji Han, it would be difficult, wouldn't it?"
" Over in Vast Blue, I only know of two monsters. Before Ji Han appeared, they were also favorites to win the championship. You simply can't defeat them..."
Luo Yu looked at her. "What monster?"
Shi Qianqian said, "Both of them are students at Canglan Ocean University, and they've been holding back their grades."
"Like the previous champion, they both have Mid-Rank Monarch Species space-type pet beast under contract."
"And this bitch's pet beast also has a Upper-Tier Common Species time-type familiar." "You know her?" Upon hearing this, Luo Yu immediately realized that Shi Qianqian had a grudge against the other party.
Shi Qianqian nodded.
"In short, time and space... Although I don't like her, she's definitely a top contender for the championship. Even if that polar bear evolves into Upper-Tier Monarch Species, it might not necessarily gain much advantage."
"The other one has a contract with a Mid-Rank Monarch Species dragon, whose racial attributes are wind, electricity, water, light, and darkness—the strength of which is ridiculously high. Furthermore, they have a contract with a Lower Monarch Species spatial companion?" "These two should be the two strongest among the eligible participants in the Abyss Trial at Azure Billows University."
"And this is just for Azure Billows University; there are still a lot of people who aren't in a hurry to go to university yet," Shi Qianqian shrugged.
After all, the university leaders of Canglan Ocean University would personally come to watch the Abyss Trial.
When they see some promising students, they'll poach them on the spot, promising them great admission conditions. Getting in this way is much more satisfying than applying to university directly.
"Don't think about it too much," Yu Wan comforted Luo Yu. "Reaching the top four is actually a very good result."
Although they cannot form an alliance with the Orca Clan, Canglan Ocean University will definitely be vying for a spot in the top four.
Furthermore, Luo Yu's talent in researching the Water Devil Beast...
They might not receive worse treatment than the champion!
At that time, Luo Yu will definitely be the apple of the eye of the research department at Canglan Ocean University Canglan Ocean University, receiving special attention and cultivation. When Mirror Moon Island encounters danger, wouldn't the teachers and professors of those schools lend a helping hand out of respect for Luo Yu?
"Gurgle!!"
At this moment, Shui Wuyue had already steered the ship in the direction where the Sea of Evolution had appeared. Although the Sea of Evolution had disappeared, many ships were still heading in that direction.
This is a habit of many navigators: to visit places where mysterious seas have been sighted, take a look, and maybe it'll be their turn next time. And because the boat wasn't going very fast this time, July finally managed to catch a fish!
Splash splash~~~
Water splashed everywhere.
Unfortunately... it was just a small Xiaoyu.
July was feeling down, but what happened next made it even more devastating. "Chirp!!!!"
The moment the Xiaoyu was pulled from the water, a seabird swooped down and snatched the fish that July had caught; the Xiaoyu became its prey!
July's mouth gaped slightly, somewhat incredulous.
They're even fighting over such a tiny fish?!
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!!!" No matter what, this was the first fish it had caught in days. Seeing someone snatching its food from its mouth, July instantly became furious.
It was one thing for Shi Qianqian to take it from him before, since she was someone I knew.
What is this seabird anyway?
Whoosh! Several clumps of magma immediately condensed in July and crashed towards the bird.
"Chirp!!"
However, this seabird, only a dozen or so levels high, flew nimbly through the air, and July's lava attacks couldn't reach it at all, which infuriated July.
It longed to flap its wings and fly into the sky to fight its opponent to the death, but unfortunately, it couldn't fly.
"It looks like your July was bullied." Shi Qianqian looked over and couldn't help but smile.
"Do you need my help? Let the Seedling Turtle use its vines to catch that bird."
She can quickly summon the Seedling Turtle into the sky, then use vines to catch the bird off guard.
"Let me do it." Yu Wan couldn't bear to see the adorable July being bullied, so she decided to use her telekinesis to help July get her Xiaoyu back.
Luo Yu was about to nod, but the next moment...
Boom!!
Before the two women could even offer their help, July suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura. The light of the earth's veins flowed around her neck, and the force of gravity extended from the near-ocean bottom beneath her feet, causing a sudden surge of downward pressure in a certain area!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!! In an instant, the weight on the birds in the sky increased dramatically, their bones creaked, and their expressions turned horrified as their bodies plummeted towards the sea!
When it crashed into the sea, its Gravity created a crater, a truly bizarre phenomenon!
A blurry Gravity field appeared, and with a "bang," the bird was crushed into the water. July swung her fishing line, hooking back the Xiaoyu that the other hadn't managed to catch, and then looked at the bird, now soaked to the bone, with resentment.
Fly, fly!
Let's try flying it again!
The bird, its body crushed by Gravity, tried to take flight again, but the next moment, another surge of Gravity slammed it into the sea. "Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!!"
In July, she actually comprehended the [Gravity Manipulation] skill at this time, leaving Yu Wan and Shi Qianqian standing to the side in astonishment.
"What is this??" Shi Qianqian was taken aback.
No way, you've already learned [Gravity Manipulation] so quickly?!
How long has it been since Luo Yu and the others entered the Gravity chamber?
Moreover, the idea of learning Gravity Manipulation in the Gravity chamber was just something she mentioned casually... Her original intention was still to have Luo Yu accompany her to the arena.
Turns out, it really does learn! "This Earth Penguin..."
Liu Yun, standing to the side, also fell into deep thought. This earth-elemental talent is just too amazing! It's amazing that it can even learn a top-tier superpower like Gravity Manipulation at this level...
It's important to understand that the skill of Gravity Manipulation, just like Space Creation, is something that pets with very low racial aptitude simply cannot learn.
"Thank you, Brother Flying Bird." Luo Yu was also very surprised. He hadn't learned it even after spending so much time in the Gravity training room for July, but he didn't expect to master it after being stimulated by the mutated flying bird.
And the results are so good!!!
Keep in mind, July wasn't standing on land. Although the water near the shore wasn't very deep and wasn't far from the ground, July had pulled a bird down from a considerable distance!
Initially, Luo Yu felt a slight unease at the sight of a formidable rival emerging...
But now, with July having mastered another top-tier earth-type skill, Luo Yu's annoyance vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of powerful conviction.
What's wrong with Upper-Tier Monarch Species Polar Bear King...? Who says penguins can't fight polar bears...?
For the next two months, July will undergo hellish training, with the goal of becoming a high-ranking Upper-Tier Monarch Species Polar Bear King!
"The enemy is in the open, we are in the shadows; the advantage lies with us."
"First, we need to breed a Honey Water Bee with Ice Resistance Enhancement to prepare for battle. Since we have Honey Water Bee with Poison Resistance Enhancement, we should be able to breed one with Ice Resistance Enhancement..." Seeing that July had learned Gravity Manipulation and was constantly interacting with the birds, Bai Ya and Shui Wuyue were also very surprised. It was like their eyes had been opened again. With the Power of Magma and Gravity Manipulation, the master of the Ancient Grotto was too powerful. Even across tens of millions of years, he could influence a super genius like July.
"There's no need to be too pessimistic?"
"Perhaps, this little penguin will evolve into more than just Lower Monarch Species?"
"If we can evolve into Mid-Rank Monarch Species... maybe we can still put up a fight."
July once again displayed invincible talent, and after considering this possibility, they had a glimmer of hope again. After all, ice type is countered by rock and fire type.
While the differences between the three levels of the Monarch Species — Low-Rank Species, Mid-Rank Species, and Superior Species— are enormous, if July could evolve into Mid-Rank Monarch Species with both Rock and Fire attributes, and then pair it with the "perfect familiar" Water Devil Beast, it might not be impossible for her to challenge an upper-level Ice-type King-type race.
"This must be the area where the Sea of Evolution appeared."
Before long, the group arrived near the area where the Sea of Evolution had appeared. Hundreds of ships of different styles had gathered there, all there to celebrate the occasion. Luo Yu stood on the deck, glanced around casually, and then paused slightly in surprise.
They even stopped caring about the Sea of Evolution in an instant.
It seems he has discovered the fifth top-tier talent possessor, following July, the Empress, the Orca Baby, and the Ancient Earth Overlord. It's just a pity that it seems to already be someone else's pet.
This top-tier talent, which serves as a mount, already has a master. Standing on it is a woman dressed in white, who is also surveying the location where the Sea of Evolution once appeared, lost in thought.
"Isn't that King Qiao Yi?!" Shi Qianqian also noticed the other person and exclaimed in surprise. "She's Qiao Yi? The one who wanted to find a biologist to help her jellyfish evolve?" Luo Yu was taken aback. No wonder, no wonder she could win the "King of Kings" honor and become a leader among the younger generation after only contracting a Mid-Rank Monarch Species. It turns out that pet beasts also have top-level talents. In that case, her strong combat power makes sense.
[Individual Talent]: Immortal Body (Top-tier talent; possessing this talent allows one to unleash limitless life potential and rapidly recover from injuries without relying on external forces, as long as they have even a drop of life force remaining.)
