Chapter 237 - New Beast: Oceanic White Carp Jiao
"You have won 2 reward points and 2 bad karma points for killing 1 Colored Heavenly Spear Fish on the low Silver level."
Over the sea, a flowing light flew out and killed a Colored Heavenly Spear Fish. Then Ye Xuan took it back.
Ye Xuan received a message in his head right away.
"I have finally got enough points!"
Then Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness and focused it on the ranking list.
"First place: Ye Xuan from the Cerulean Planet, 2501 points."
"Second place: Ye Wuyun from the Eternal Night Planet, 345 points."
"Third place: Kaku from the Aton Planet, 336 points."
Ye Xuan looked at the ranking list. His face beamed especially when he had seen the points displayed on the right of his name.
He had been wondering one thing earlier.
He had been wondering whether it would be challenging for him to get many points.
Moreover, he could call it out at a farther place.
As a result, he had been hunting monsters at a much higher speed.
By then, only fifty minutes had passed since he had entered the trial grounds of the sea world.
It was even less than one hour.
He acc.u.mulated two thousand five hundred points in only fifty minutes.
But it was also because he was lucky enough. Fortunately, he ran into the Ancient Turtle Serpent Beast.
But anyway, he had got enough points.
"Exchange, Oceanic White Carp Jiao!"
Seeing his point already amount to two thousand five hundred and one, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to exchange them for the Oceanic White Carp Jiao.
As Ye Xuan made his choice, lights showed up and gathered in the air.
Then in a second, the small box with the Oceanic White Carp Jiao that he had seen in the treasure trove showed up in front of him.
At the same time, as the small box showed up, he also received a message in his head.
"I only need to shoot my Seed of Beasts into the small box? That's all?"
Ye Xuan was slightly surprised by the message he had received.
But he did not hesitate. He got two Seeds of Beasts from the earlier upgrade to the Silver level and had only one left by then. He shot this last Seed of Beasts he had into the small box in front of him.
Buzz!
The small box in front of Ye Xuan started to shine right away.
At the same time, the Oceanic White Carp Jiao that had been sleeping in the box opened its eyes slowly.
"What is that?"
The Oceanic White Carp Jiao was a little confused at the sight of the Seed of Beasts as if it had not been completely awake from its sleep.
Then a look of pleasant surprise flashed across its kind of ugly face.
Whoosh!
Waving its body, it dashed forward and crashed into Ye Xuan's Seed of Beasts with its head.
"How come this dude is so eager?"
Ye Xuan was a little puzzled at the sight of that.
However, before he could give it any thought, he suddenly felt that a special connection had been established between him and the Oceanic White Carp Jiao in front of him.
It was that unique connection between a Beast Tamer and his beast.
"Great!"
Ye Xuan felt joyful.
Buzz!
At this moment, numerous Spirit Auras approached him all of a sudden.
With him being the center, they formed a giant Spirit Vortex.
"Not again."
Seeing that, Ye Xuan was rendered helpless.
The same thing had happened too many times.
And as he contracted with beasts on a higher level, the Spirit Vortex formed over his head grew increasingly bigger.
As he contracted with the Oceanic White Carp Jiao successfully, the Spirit Vortex formed over his head even reached more than three hundred feet away.
"Ye Xuan?"
About three miles away, Miao Shuyao saw that while looking for beasts to hunt. She was astounded.
She wondered what was happening to Ye Xuan.
However, the Spirit Vortex over Ye Xuan's head did not last for a long time.
It disappeared in only ten-odd seconds.
Then, seeing Ye Xuan seem fine, Miao Shuyao felt relieved.
Creak! Creak!
At the same time, as Ye Xuan contracted with the Oceanic White Carp Jiao successfully, the small box holding it cracked immediately.
Growl!
It was instantly more than thirty-five feet long.
It had weird dragon whiskers on its face. Its scales were quite sparse. And the jiao claws on its belly looked very ugly, too.
However, with all those body features, it did look like a monster.
"Will the future Five-Clawed Divine Dragon look the same as you?"
Seeing the Oceanic White Carp Jiao that had been larger, Ye Xuan kept shaking his head.
He loved the sight of beautiful things.
But unfortunately, the Oceanic White Carp Jiao was far from beautiful.
He only expected it to look better when it achieved the Gold level.
Or maybe it would go through a transformation when he used evolutionary resources to help it evolve into a five-star Gold-level Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao.
According to the Oceanic White Carp Jiao attributes that he had identified earlier, it would get the Spiritual Jiao Aspect as well as four Spiritual Jiao Claws after evolving into a Spiritual Oceanic White Jiao.
It would be totally different from its current look with only two claws.
Having only two claws made it seem disabled or something.
Boom!
As the Oceanic White Carp, Jiao got out of the small box and showed up in front of Ye Xuan.
While a wild wind was blowing, a sea wave that was dozens of feet high was produced below the Oceanic White Carp Jiao.
And it ended up in the sea wave after a leap.
"Raising Winds and Waves!"
That was what came into Ye Xuan's head.
The Oceanic White Carp Jiao had three abilities: the Carp Jiao Aspect, the Carp Jiao Combat Technique, and Raising Winds and Waves.
It apparently had exerted the third ability by then.
While Ye Xuan was thinking about that, he saw the Oceanic White Carp Jiao leap in front of him.
Then, with a lot of seawater rolling under its control, it stopped below him so that he could mount it.
At the same time, it even patted him on the legs with its long dragon whiskers.
"Dude, you are smart, aren't you?"
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.
This was the first beast under contract with him that took the initiative to ingratiate itself with him. He did not even tell it to do that.
Fine.
Ye Xuan instantly liked the Oceanic White Carp Jiao a lot better.
This dude was a little ugly at the moment.
But it had great future potential.
Besides, he did not believe a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon could be ugly.
In addition, this dude was so smart. It took his fancy right away.
Boom!
In the sea, Ye Xuan was advancing at high speed, leaving waves behind him.
The Oceanic White Carp Jiao was under his feet.
And there was seawater around his feet.
However, under the Oceanic White Carp Jiao's control, the seawater never wet his shoes.
"You mean you were sealed not long after you had swum upstream into the Jiao Transforming Pool of the Thirty-six Dragon Cities in the Sea and transformed into the Oceanic White Carp Jiao, and you had been waiting for some Beast Tamer to choose you and contract with you ever since then?"
After communicating with the Oceanic White Carp Jiao, Ye Xuan got to know its past.
He learned that this dude had been born in a river flowing across one of the Thirty-six Dragon Cities in the Sea.
Average white carps like it and other carps had the opportunity to swim upstream into the Jiao Transforming Pool of the Thirty-six Dragon Cities in the Sea throughout their lives.
If they could swim upstream into the Jiao Transforming Pool successfully, there would be a very slim chance that they would transform into a jiao successfully.
However, even if they transformed into a jiao successfully, it did not mean they would achieve the peak of their carp life right away.
Instead, folks from the Thirty-six Dragon Cities in the Sea would take them away and tame them into their beasts.
Those with great potential would be sealed and then wait until some Beast Tamer chose them.
The Oceanic White Carp Jiao that Ye Xuan contracted with fell into the second category.
However, it had never occurred to this Oceanic White Carp Jiao that it would have to wait for so long at the time of being sealed.
Not until such a long time had passed was it chosen.
Neither had it ever occurred to the Oceanic White Carp Jiao that even the world had changed tremendously. This world was no longer the world it had once lived in.
Of course, it did not have any memory of when it was sealed.
And its bodily functions had not changed much.
For the Oceanic White Carp Jiao, no matter whether hundreds of years or more than hundreds of years had passed, it was simply a matter of a long sleep.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
While getting to know the Oceanic White Carp Jiao, Ye Xuan did not forget to call out all of his Tidal Treasure Snails somewhere deep in the sea.
He called them out one after another to kill the monsters living in the deep sea that he had detected.
"Summary of the ranking list: You are ranked first in the first hour's trial by gaining 2672 points in the last hour. You have been awarded 1000 extra points for being ranked first."
Standing on the back of the Oceanic White Carp Jiao, Ye Xuan hunted for ten-odd minutes more in the boundless sea.
All of a sudden, a message showed up in his head.
"It has been an hour?"
Ye Xuan beamed when he had received the message.
"Exchange, Silver-level Super Oceanic Dragon Essence!"
Then he used the points he had newly got to exchange for two drops of Oceanic Dragon Essence decisively.
One drop of this thing cost five hundred points.
With the Oceanic White Carp Jiao's grade, it would probably need seventeen drops of Oceanic Dragon Essence to achieve the Gold level.
However, Ye Xuan had been gaining points so fast.
Therefore, he did not think it would take him very long to make the Oceanic White Carp Jiao achieve the Gold level.
In this way, it would become his first Gold-level beast.
Buzz!
Then, as Ye Xuan started the exchange, a white china bottle appeared out of thin air and stopped in front of him.
"Go. Go to check the world that belongs to you."
"And take your time to refine the two drops of Oceanic Dragon Essence."
Seeing this white china bottle, Ye Xuan shifted his consciousness to take the Oceanic White Carp Jiao into the newly built Beast Lair.
Then he threw the two drops of Oceanic Dragon Essence into it.
"The summary of the first hour's trial has come out?"
At the same time, the Silver-level Beast Tamers within the trial grounds of the sea world all looked at the ranking list after having received this message.
However, their face instantly fell when they had seen Ye Xuan ranked first with an absolute leading edge.
He gained more than two thousand six hundred points. How many evolutionary resources could he exchange them for?
What if the one thousand extra points awarded to the first place winner were also counted in?
Many people felt very jealous of Ye Xuan at this moment.
Because Ye Xuan had really gained a lot.
"However, Ye Xuan's hunting has already slowed down. His points are not increasing so fast as at the beginning. We still have our chance in the second hour. No matter what, we should try our best!"
Then some people found when the first hour had passed.
There were two numbers displayed on the right of everyone's name on the ranking list.
The first number was the points they had got in the first hour.
The second was the total points they had got, which was put in parenthesis.
That meant the ranking of the second hour was only based on the points they got in the second hour.
The points they got in the first hour would not be counted in.
That ranking method motivated many people.
The second hour's ranking would start from scratch. They might have a chance this time. You never know.
Some Beast Tamers from the same clan happened to run into each other. So they teamed up. Those Beast Tamers were especially motivated.
"Eh?"
However, at this moment, when Ye Xuan had taken the Oceanic White Carp Jiao into its Beast Lair.
Over the boundless sea, he found a weird sea python with three giant heads in the distance through the Tidal Treasure Snail's Real-Time Map.
And the three-headed sea python was approaching him.
"A Gold-level monster? Is it because I have got too many bad karma points?"
Ye Xuan wondered at the sight of that.
If that was the reason, the bad karma points were excellent stuff!
