“Jack Clark… Jack Clark.”
At six in the afternoon, Freya Louise looked at the lost-in-thought Jack Clark and couldn’t help but call his name twice.
“Ah… What’s up?” Jack Clark withdrew part of his attention.
Freya tucked her falling hair behind her ear, pointed at the wall clock, and softly said, “It’s already six o’clock. I’m heading back. Want to walk together?”
It’s already six, time flies when you’re ravaging the rivers. Jack Clark nodded sentimentally, “Okay.”
The two got up, put back the books they had borrowed, and walked out of the building.
At this time, most students immersed in their cultivation were heading home one after another. They walked out in pairs, discussing the forthcoming ranking competition.
The sun set in the west, and the sunlight was no longer as scorching as it had been in the afternoon.
A gentle breeze brushed past the girl’s hair, bringing with it the faint fragrance of shampoo.
Jack Clark turned his head and looked at her stunningly beautiful profile. He casually asked, “Freya, are you going to participate in the competition next Monday?”
Freya shook her head, “My cultivation method is special, and I don’t have much combat strength at the beginning, so I don’t plan on participating.”
He always heard her talk about her special cultivation method. Jack Clark couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What kind of cultivation method do you practice that doesn’t have much combat strength at first?”
However, the girl’s lips tightened, revealing a faint smile, “This question is a secret. You’ll find out during the Second Grade trial.”
Jack Clark helplessly said, “…Alright.”
“What about you? You’ll be participating in this ranking competition, right?” Freya asked back.
“Yeah, I’ll be participating.”
Jack Clark nodded, “In the past few days, I feel like I’ve made a breakthrough in my cultivation, so I’m planning to participate in the ranking competition and exchange experiences with my classmates and accumulate combat experience.”
Freya didn’t think much about this reason.
In her view, both she and Jack Clark practiced low-level cultivation methods. His initial talent was average among the new students, and participating in the ranking competition may just be to join in the fun.
After all, there were more than a hundred ordinary ‘geniuses’ in front of them who established their foundations and practiced advanced cultivation methods within a week.
There’s a considerable gap between Jack Clark and those people in terms of talent and level of the cultivation methods they practiced. There’s no chance he can make it into the top 50.
Along the way, the two chatted and walked like ordinary friends.
However, Freya noticed that occasionally, while talking, Jack Clark would become lost in thought. Perhaps he was not well-rested because of his recent intense cultivation.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel admiration.
It doesn’t matter if his talent is slightly lacking, as long as he works hard at cultivation, taking one step at a time and accumulating slowly, he will eventually reach heights unimaginable by ordinary people.
…
On Friday, the second day, the seniors went through a day of monthly exams. Many students looked bitter after receiving each test paper.
Helpless, they had spent all their energy on cultivation during this time and had no interest in studying books.
Hurriedly, the exams ended, and there was no school on Saturday.
Instead of going to school to cultivate as usual, Jack Clark went to the bustling Commercial Street, planning to practice in the noisy environment.
Today, he was dressed in a white T-shirt, gray pants, and white flat shoes – simple and casual attire.
With a tall figure, fine and handsome facial features, and a clean face, he attracted many looks as soon as he sat down under a tree shade.
Especially the girls in cool outfits who passed by this sunny handsome youth, they would deliberately stop, pretending to check out the surrounding shops.Unfortunately, even though some of these beauties are pretty and have sexy figures, the youth closed his eyes and started meditating as soon as he sat down, unable to see the view around him. Some female students who wanted to approach him stopped when they saw this.
Undisturbed by the outside world, Jack Clark closed his eyes and entered the special state created by his acute five senses.
With his keen hearing filtering out useless noises and his sense of smell distinguishing the people and objects around him, the touch-sensitive hairs all over his body sensed the flow of air in the space…
Once familiar with this state, Jack Clark divided his attention.
For the past month, he’s been practicing multitasking.
Although he couldn’t completely control two bodies with ease, he could already focus on his main body while partially controlling the Heavy Armored Beast.
The vast river with its turbulent waves was hundreds of meters wide and more than forty meters deep at its deepest point. It was home to countless aquatic creatures, many of which had undergone slight mutations due to the environment.
Near the riverbank, a creature the length of 80 centimeters and covered in heavy armor crawled out of a hole and swam toward the deep water area. Its limbs were thick and strong.
After being released for just two days, the Avatar had already grown 10 centimeters due to abundant food. Its figure became more massive, its defense stronger, and its strength more exaggerated.
At the same time, its evolution value increased at a rate of 5 points per day, far exceeding its previous growth rate.
Of course, this was also inseparable from Jack’s diligence in controlling the Heavy Armored Beast to feed at every opportunity, including getting up to eat in the middle of the night.
Soon, Jack controlled the Heavy Armored Beast to reach the deep water area more than twenty meters deep, where the visibility was murky and only a vague range of five to six meters was visible.
Before they swam far, a huge figure appeared in the Heavy Armored Beast’s sight.action
It was a ferocious fish mutated from a Crocodile Swallow Eel, three meters long with a long crocodile-like mouth. Its body was covered in thick scales and its back even grew sharp bone spurs.
When the Heavy Armored Beast noticed it, the fish caught sight of the small creature and came charging at it, ready to make a meal of it.
To the mutated Crocodile Swallow Eel, more than three meters long and as thick as a human body, an 80-centimeter Heavy Armored Beast was considered a small target, which the Eel could bite off in one gulp.
The Heavy Armored Beast calmly watched the mutated Crocodile Swallow Eel speeding toward it, watching indifferently as its wide-open mouth tore through the water, leaving splashes in its wake.
Bang!
With the Heavy Armored Beast not dodging, the mutated Crocodile Swallow Eel’s big mouth fiercely bit its stomach and back, releasing a ripping force under its immense kinetic energy.
In the past, the Unique Beasts relied on high-speed impact, using their kinetic energy and sharp teeth to tear their prey to pieces. But today… it was like biting an alloy steel.
The mutated Crocodile Swallow Eel’s sharp teeth shattered. Choked with pain, the Eel grew even more violent.
It clamped down on the Heavy Armored Beast with its massive biting force, twisting its enormous body wildly underwater to shred the hard prey in its mouth.
But even after the mutated Crocodile Swallow Eel had exhausted itself, the Heavy Armored Beast remained unscathed in its mouth.
Even the relatively weaker belly armor only had a small scratch, showing the terror of the Defensive Talent.
It seemed as if the Unique Beast was biting at the Heavy Armored Beast’s belly and back, but in fact, during its burst of strength tearing and biting, all the force was being distributed throughout its body by the exoskeleton structure.
Combined with the multi-layered internal structure which could gradually weaken the pressure on the body and the strength of the external armor which increased as its size grew.
All these factors combined made the Heavy Armored Beast’s defense terrifying.
Unable to tear it apart, the exhausted Unique Beast had no choice but to release the Heavy Armored Beast.
At this moment, the Heavy Armored Beast, which had just tested its defense, swung its tail and gathered its muscle strength in a twist of its body. With a powerful blow from one of its claws, it struck the Eel’s head.
Bang! The impact caused water to explode, and the mutated Crocodile Swallow Eel’s skull collapsed. Blood mixed with white liquid spewed out, and it was hammered to death by the Heavy Armored Beast’s one swift claw.
The Heavy Armored Beast killed the mutated fish and swallowed a large chunk of flesh and blood torn from its back, chewing it with blood flowing, looking extremely ferocious.
