“Long ago, the Iron Peak Mountain was the biggest natural tourist attraction in Lan City.

“However, after the new era, that very mountain became the mountain that poses the greatest threat to us!”

A teacher was teaching geography to the students.

“There are countless mutated beasts living in the Iron Peak Mountain. Every year, there will be one or two beast tides that come from there to attack Quicksand Town…”

Chu Lingjun stared at the map in the textbook. Other than Quicksand Town and the nearby downtown area, Lan City, the rest of the city was colored red.

The further away they were from the town, the darker the map became.

This meant that the danger level was increasing.

In the new era, the wilderness was a forbidden zone for humans.

Chu Lingjun looked at it for a while before his gaze locked onto the People’s Park in the town center of Quicksand Town.

From the map, Quicksand Park was connected to a small meandering river.

After passing through this small area, they would reach the largest barren river in the city — Lianjiang.

Following the Lianjiang River to the East, they would arrive at Tuo City after traveling for tens of kilometers and then head straight into the South Sea.

That’s right, Chu Lingjun’s ultimate goal for the electric eel clone was to develop in the sea!

The small park lake was certainly not enough to satisfy the electric eel and it was too dangerous for the other creatures to be in the same lake as it.

Lianjiang wasn’t any better.

Only the sea can support the electric eel’s hunger. It will be able to devour and develop to their heart’s content!

Of course, this journey would not be so smooth.

There are plenty of dams and streams on the Lianjiang River. However, there are also defensive formations, electric nets, and mines to prevent mutated beasts from going up the river and threatening the land.

This was not a big problem. Chu Lingjun can put the electric eel into his summoning space and find an opportunity to put it in the sea when he can.

Chu Lingjun’s had a good plan. He would develop on land while his electric eel clone would develop in the water.

“Sir, I heard that the mutated beasts in the sea are several times stronger than those on land!”

At this moment, a student raised his hand and spoke during the break in class.

Lan City was not far from the coastline, so it was normal for them to be curious.

Hearing this, the bald geography teacher nodded and smiled bitterly.

“Yes, that’s right. Since the new era, with the efforts of generations of predecessors, we humans have barely managed to defend the major cities and defeat the exotic beasts.

“In the past hundred years, we’ve fought countless mutated beasts.

“During this battle, the strength of the land-based exotic beasts has also been suppressed and weakened.

“However, the exotic beasts in the sea have been observing our fights. They have been recuperating and growing stronger each day.”

The geography teacher shook his head and said bitterly.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Humans were land creatures, and they were not born to fight in the sea.

Moreover, in the past hundred years, humans had barely managed to gain a foothold on land. How could they have so much time to manage the affairs of the sea?

At least for the foreseeable future, humans will have to deal with the exotic beasts on land first before they could start to march into the sea.

Chu Lingjun flipped to the last few pages of the geography book. A map of the South Sea appeared there.

There were a few names written on the map.

Diamond Fish Tribe, Hammerhead Shark Tribe, Red Skeleton Devil Fish Tribe, Dragon Eel Tribe, Ghost Fish Submarine Tribe…

Even though it was just a few names, many of them had a question mark on them.

This meant that the person who wrote this teaching material was not very sure if the name of the tribe in this area was accurate.

With humanity’s current strength, it was truly beyond their reach to deal with the beasts in the sea.

It was said that there was once a martial arts grandmaster who saw a dragon palace under the Pacific Ocean. In the palace, there was a dragon-shaped creature that was hundreds of meters long!

It was suspected to be a mythical creature, the Azure Dragon!

The grandmaster was almost scared to death and frantically fled the scene.

Chu Lingjun then looked at the heavenly and earthly treasures introduced at the bottom of the map.

Tricolor Seaweed, Sea Spirit Pearl, Water Silk Grass, Edge Cloud Flower… There was a long list of precious names written on it.

Chu Lingjun’s gaze kept sweeping over the names of Tricolor Seaweed and Edge Cloud Flower. These treasures could all increase one’s spiritual intelligence.

In fact, this was also the reason why he wanted his clone to go to the sea.

The sea was vast and never ending, containing countless resources and treasures.

Coupled with the fact that humans were too far away to enter the sea, this also meant that the electric eel would be the first to have the best meat!

What about the surroundings of Quicksand Town?

After generations of people collecting, plundering, and searching in the wilderness, the number of heavenly and earthly treasures was naturally not as dense and abundant as in the sea.

There were countless dangerous exotic beasts in the sea waiting to be used.

…

In the Visualization Garden, Chu Lingjun could be seen visualizing the fourth tablet.

After yesterday’s lesson, he had finished visualizing the first three stone tablets.

At this moment, there were already two people under the fourth banyan tree, a man and a woman.

The man was tall and handsome. He was the genius who had awakened elemental immunity in Class Six that the class teacher had mentioned yesterday. His name was Duan Feng.

The woman was short, and she looked young, making her look more like a junior high school student than a high school student.

This person was the super genius of Class Three. Her elemental skill was fire, and her name was Zhou Anqi.

According to Shan Qiuru, Zhou Anqi’s spiritual power was very high. It was more than 30 points, which was the highest spiritual power among the new students!

As for the second place, it could be Chu Lingjun or Duan Feng. The exact value could only be known through the spiritual energy testing machine.

“Chu Lingjun, you’re finally here. Hurry up and fight me!”

Zhou Anqi’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Chu Lingjun. There was a ring of fire around her, and the waves of fire were threatening everyone with each flicker!

It was different to have high spiritual power. At this moment, Chu Lingjun felt as if his hair was about to be ignited being up close.

Miraculously, the lawn under Zhou Anqi’s feet and the banyan tree leaves above her head did not seem to be affected. There were no signs of burn marks..

After yesterday’s interaction, Chu Lingjun knew that this flaming woman was a violent pyromaniac.

Her hobby was to light things on fire and watch them burn.

“Your spiritual power is more than thirty points, and I only have twenty points. I can’t beat you.” Chu Lingjun immediately rejected Zhou Anqi’s suggestion.

He did not have masochistic tendencies.

Even if he wanted to fight, he would have to wait until his mentality and vitality had increased to more than 30 points.

“You both are the same… How boring!” Seeing that neither of them was willing to fight her, Zhou Anqi cursed angrily.

Chu Lingjun shrugged and ignored Zhou Anqi. He sat cross-legged in front of the fourth tablet and began his visualization.

Time passed slowly.

In the morning, he studied liberal arts knowledge. In the afternoon, he went to the visualization garden to cultivate his spiritual power after a martial arts class. At night, he returns home and cultivates his Cannon Fist.

Unknowingly, three days had passed.

The experience value of the electric eel clone finally reached 100 points. It was about to advance!
