“Let them fight each other. That way, we won’t have to meddle in anything.”

“Yeah, we didn’t expect this situation. We were just about to request reinforcements, but now we can save a lot of effort by watching them fight against each other.”

“It’s better to request it anyway, just in case.” Zhong Tongshan thought for a moment and said.

“That makes sense. I’ll go and apply for it immediately.”

“Yes.”

When he got home, Chu Lingjun immediately inserted the USB into the computer. At the same time, he carefully read the information in his hands.

Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

There was a genius from Yang Cheng High School called Qiu Wenping. Her cultivation level was a Rank Three Early Stage martial artist. Her superpower was a little special. She had a spirit energy domain that would give her a 100 percent accuracy for any weapon.

Within a hundred meters, whether this woman used a pistol, a machine gun, a throwing knife, or a stone, she could definitely hit the target!

“Holy f*ck!”

Looking at this superpower, Chu Lingjun was a little stunned. ‘Is this allowed?’

She’s cheating! With this superpower, this woman would be on the Cthulhuism Society’s bounty list.

Zeng Anhe, the genius of Peng Cheng High School, was a Rank Three Middle Stage esper and martial artist.

He had an affinity to spiritual powers.

When cultivating, he can absorb the spiritual power of Heaven and Earth with half the effort, and will have a faster cultivation speed compared to ordinary martial artists.

Long Liangjin, a genius of Zhu High School, a Rank Three Early Stage martial artist and an esper.

He has a perceptive field with infrared vision and also dynamic vision.

Qiu Yang, a genius from Guan High School. He was a Rank Three Early Stage martial artist and a Rank Two Late Stage esper.

He can activate a berserk mode in the battle domain.

When this skill is activated, Qiu Yang will burn his HP and enter a berserk state.

His speed, strength, and defense will increase by 50 percent for 10 minutes. After using it, he will enter a weakened state.

Chu Lingjun looked at the information of the geniuses one after another, and his expression could not help but turn solemn.

He finally understood what it meant to be better than others!

Especially since some of them had good talent to begin with. Coupled with their good family backgrounds, they were terrifying existences!

However… Chu Lingjun decided not to belittle himself!

After all, these people were all third year students, and he was only a first year student!

They were a genius to begin with, and they had a two years head start. If they didn’t surpass him, they wouldn’t be allowed to be in this USB!

The more he looked, the more shocked he became. Chu Lingjun’s heart was stirred up, and his fighting spirit soared!

“You think you’re the best?

“I am a genius too!

“Let’s meet in the college entrance examination half a year later. I want to see if your talent is better or my clone is better! ”

Chu Lingjun’s heart was racing with passion. A few months later, he would definitely trample all these geniuses under his feet!

With the new found motivation, Chu Lingjun didn’t slack off even though it was the winter break. He cultivated as usual!

The electric eel clone swam along the river towards the South Sea.

Normally, the electric eel would not reach the mouth of the sea.

However, due to the exotic beasts attacking the city a while ago, the Red Crystal Crab and the other exotic beasts had destroyed a large number of gates, mines, and protective arrays.

Therefore, the electric eel clone could enter the South Sea without any issues. At the mouth of the South Sea, the mighty eel plunged into the sea. The roaring waves calmed down.

The electric eel clone was hovering at the mouth of the sea, carefully identifying its surroundings.

Chu Lingjun, who was in Quicksand Town, hurriedly took out the map and looked at it carefully.

According to the map, there was an underwater coral city about 500 kilometers away in the southeast of the sea. It was the territory of the Diamond Fish Tribe.

The area within a radius of a few hundred kilometers of Coral City was the territory of the Diamond Fish Tribe.

To the South, 50 kilometers ahead, there was an underwater forest.

About 200 kilometers to the Southwest, there was a giant algae forest.

Each leaf of the giant algae that grew there was several meters long.

They grew from the dark seabed hundreds of meters deep to the surface of the sea that was filled with sunlight. The sky-connecting lotus leaves were endless and green, and it was very spectacular!

Chu Lingjun looked at the map and pondered.

The doctor said that the conservative treatment required at least five Rainbow Seaweed. The principal bought him three Rainbow Seaweed, and he was still short of two.

Therefore, it was the best choice for the electric eel clone to go to the giant algae forest in the Southwest to find some Rainbow Seaweed.

However, there was a very crucial problem here. A group of ferocious sea beasts lived beside the giant algae forest, the Red Devil Fish!

The Red Devil Fish was notorious even among the mutated beasts in the water. It was extremely smelly.

It was sinister and cunning, bloodthirsty and greedy, cold and cruel!

Moreover, the Red Devil Fish also had a powerful innate ability, which was that it could cast undead spells!

It was just like the necromancers that Chu Lingjun had seen in his past life — they could summon evil creatures such as skeletons and dead spirits!

According to the information Chu Lingjun had found online, the Red Devil Fish wasn’t weak, and their leader was a Level Six exotic beast!

A Level Four mutated beast started to have intelligence, and a Level 6 mutated beast’s intelligence was about the same as an adult human’s!

Chu Lingjun really didn’t want the electric eel clone to face this group of ominous creatures.

Chu Lingjun shifted his gaze to the underwater forest in the South and Coral City in the Southeast.

The Vajra Fish was covered in golden armor that shone with golden light. Its body armor was mighty, and its physical and magical resistance were very high.

The Diamond Fish Tribe was extremely powerful. Even the Red Devil Fish did not dare to provoke them.

Chu Lingjun shook his head. He could only lock his gaze on the underwater forest in the South.

Although the Ghost Blade Fish in the underwater forest were also not easy to deal with, compared to the other two mutated beasts, they were the easiest target.

In addition, if he was lucky, he might be able to find the Golden Thread Water…

Chu Lingjun’s eyes flashed. The Golden Thread Water was also a natural treasure that could increase one’s spiritual power and develop one’s spiritual intelligence.

Thinking of this, Chu Lingjun set his sights on it. He let the electric eel clone swim slowly towards the South and released the Electric Field domain. The bottom of the sea was covered with layers of yellow sand and mud. The water was even murky.

The electric eel clone lurked on the murky seabed, moving forward step by step.

The mouth of the sea was the intersection of freshwater and saltwater. Due to the difference in density and flow rate, a large number of microorganisms were produced. A large number of mutated carps, catfish, and silver carp were busy fighting for food.

With the presence of the school of fish, even stronger exotic beasts were immediately attracted over.

The electric eel clone scouted the area. Seeing that most of the creatures here were Level One exotic beasts, it had no interest in them. It ate a few to fill its stomach and swam towards the underwater forest 50 kilometers away.

With the electric eel clone’s current strength, the experience points provided by ordinary Level One exotic beasts were too little — there was no point eating them.

The electric eel swam in the water for about half an hour. The seabed gradually tilted down, the water became deeper, and a depressing looming shadow appeared at the end of the line of sight.

The black shadow was like a ball of ink. It was so dark that one could not see anything past it. It could not help but make one’s heart palpitate.

The electric eel looked left and right, but it seemed that the shadow was endless, almost occupying the entire space.

The electric eel clone carefully approached step by step, and when it came to the end, it found that this large shadow had a different world!

These shadows were actually formed by giant trees that reached into the sky. It looked spectacular!

Chu Lingjun took a glance and was attracted by the strange arrangement of leaves in the underwater forest in front of him.

Not a single blade of grass could be seen in the forest.

The overgrown shrubs and branches did not spread or bend.

The leaves did not extend in odd angles either. Instead, under the effect of the water’s buoyancy, they looked like they were upright. It was almost as if it was desperately trying to reach out to the surface of the water!

No matter how thin they were, they were all facing upward!

They remained motionless in the water. When a fish pushed them away, they immediately returned to their original state.

This was an underwater forest, a vertical kingdom!

As a land creature, Chu Lingjun had never seen such a strange sight in the sea. He was immediately astounded.

Just as the electric eel relished in the moment, a slight and sharp zipping sound suddenly sounded behind the electric eel!
