My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 59: I am your master! (Please subscribe)

Shua!

Shua!

Huala~

The sound of water splashing, the water surface churning.

The upper back of the black shadow, pressed against the river surface, like a sharp arrow, heading straight for Chen Wuji.

It was incredibly fast.

Just as Chen Wuji saw the black shadow, within three breaths--

"Bang!"

The river surface suddenly exploded, and the black shadow underwater, accompanied by countless splashes, shot out of the water like a bullet, pouncing towards Chen Wuji.

A mouth full of sharp teeth, surrounded by a foul smell, bit down from above.

Boom!

The loud sound echoed along the riverbank.

Water splashed into the air, and mud splattered.

Chen Wuji disappeared from his original position, and the spirit pearl submerged in the water also disappeared.

The black shadow that landed on the shore shook its tail, its huge body agilely rolling twice before returning to the water.

Then, more than half of its head emerged from the water, its eyes like copper bells, staring straight at Chen Wuji on the other side of the bank, with a gaze filled with greed, astonishment, doubt, determination, and anger!

"What a formidable monster fish..."

"Oh, no, it hasn't fully advanced yet?"

"The Monster Qi is intermittent and unstable, it seems it hasn't stabilized."

Less than twenty steps away, Chen Wuji observed this nearly nine-foot-long fish that resembled a black fish but had its lower half covered in black petrified scales, murmuring to himself as if lost in thought.

The gathering of water spirit pearls extracts the energy of the water world.

It is bound to attract a powerful presence in the water.

Chen Wuji had long been mentally prepared for this.

With the thinness of the energy in White Water County, even though there is more energy in the water than in the air, it is still limited.

This amount of energy can only support the birth of one or two water monsters at most.

The appearance of this unadvanced monster fish, attacking him and attempting to snatch the spirit pearl, perfectly verified his preparations, easing his subsequent concerns by half.

However, the unexpectedly high intelligence of the appearing monster fish caught Chen Wuji off guard.

Fish, in general, have little intelligence, often only remembering three to five breaths.

Even if they become monsters, their intelligence does not increase significantly, only possessing basic wild instincts and a bloodthirsty nature.

However, the eyes of this unadvanced monster fish, as it looked at Chen Wuji, revealed emotions just like a human!

What is going on?

"The Monster Qi hasn't solidified, it hasn't fully advanced, but its intelligence is extremely high. Could it be..."

"Has this fellow eaten some precious natural treasure?"

"Or has it strengthened its spiritual consciousness, some kind of spiritual medicine!"

Chen Wuji pondered in secret.

Only spiritual treasures of the soul can give an unadvanced monster fish intelligence comparable to that of a human.

"Spiritual medicine of the soul..."

Thinking of this, Chen Wuji narrowed his eyes, looking at the monster fish in the water that refused to leave, staring straight at him, and a plan formed in his mind.

"Come!"

Putting away the spirit pearl, Chen Wuji waved his hand towards the monster fish.

Shua!

Water splashed, and a straight line appeared on the river surface.

The monster fish, whose body was longer than Chen Wuji's, suddenly moved forward, skimming the water surface, once again swiftly pouncing towards Chen Wuji.

This time, Chen Wuji didn't dodge, but watched as the monster fish rushed to him, leaping out of the water, and biting at him in mid-air.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed by the shore.

Chen Wuji swiftly threw a punch from below, hitting the monster fish's lower jaw. The tremendous force caused the monster fish to soar into the air in pain.

Then, it bent backward, intending to fall back into the water.

However, in the instant the monster fish's body tilted backward, Chen Wuji swiftly moved, circling above the water surface at extreme speed, and kicked the monster fish from the side.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Kick after kick.

Continuous kicks, releasing force, kicking the huge body of the monster fish, completely out of the water, moving towards the shore.

Until a loud bang, the entire fish fell onto a pile of rocks ten zhang away from the water's surface.

Chen Wuji stopped kicking and descended from the air, standing beside the monster fish.

Looking at the confused and dizzy monster fish, Chen Wuji squatted down, eye to eye, using the Illusionary Soul Nine Spirits technique to mesmerize it!

Hum~~

Invisible spiritual power turned into a thought, entering the monster fish's brain and consciousness sea from eye to eye.

"I am your master!"

"Take me to your favorite place!"

"I am your master!"

"Take me to your favorite place!"

"..."

The mesmerizing effect driven by the spiritual power of the True Qi Fourth Layer was too much for most Rank One monsters to resist.

Although this unranked monster fish had high intelligence, it could only resist for two breaths before losing itself under Chen Wuji's hypnosis.

"Pat~ Pat!"

The huge fish tail slapped the ground, its mouth opening and closing, and the monster fish regained consciousness.

Looking into Chen Wuji's eyes, there was no greed or anger, only kindness and fear.

Hoo~

Chen Wuji exhaled and smiled.

The first use of the Illusionary Soul Nine Spirits technique had a good effect.

Successfully mesmerized the monster fish!

"Don't worry, I'll push you back into the water."

Relaxing his muscles, Chen Wuji walked to the side of the monster fish, erupted with True Qi, and flipped the massive body of the monster fish, moving it towards the river.

With the True Qi Realm's Fourth Layer, he possessed the ability to "burst Qi."

When True Qi erupted, a Martial Master's strength, speed, defense, and other aspects could be instantly enhanced several times, or even a dozen times.

In this state, Chen Wuji's strength was so strong that he effortlessly flipped the massive body of the monster fish back into the water.

With just one eruption, in less than ten breaths, the monster fish was sent back into the water.

"Splash~"

Water splashed as the fish excitedly swam in circles after entering the water.

After a moment, it returned to the shore, showing its back to Chen Wuji.

"Here we go."

Chen Wuji chuckled, protected by True Qi, walked into the water, pressed against the monster fish's body, grabbed a petrified scale with one hand, and held onto the hard fin with the other.

"Go!"

Swoosh~

As if understanding the command, the monster fish flicked its tail, taking Chen Wuji with it as it plunged into the water.

At first, the river water was murky and visibility was poor.

Soon, they entered deeper waters, and the river water became clear, gradually improving their visibility.

Of course, this was due to the enhanced vision from True Qi.

Usually, when Martial Masters came, they could not see very far.

But at this moment, the monster fish, carrying Chen Wuji, swam through the water.

Running all the way, they saw the scenery at the bottom of the river.

Until the monster fish entered an underwater cave, in a hidden cluster of water plants, and saw a shallow purple flower with petals fully bloomed, measuring more than twenty centimeters in diameter.

Found it!

There really are treasures of heaven and earth.

Chen Wuji, holding his breath, let go of the monster fish, watched it excitedly and cautiously approach the flower, opening and closing its mouth, swallowing the seeds scattered around the purple flower.

"So, this is why your intelligence surpasses others?"

"The mysterious purple flower's seeds..."

Chen Wuji didn't approach immediately.

After staring for a while and confirming that there was no threat, he swam to the side of the purple flower, took off his outer garment, and directly wrapped the entire flower, digging it up with its roots.

Hoo~

The surrounding water surged.

Without looking up, Chen Wuji knew the monster fish had come over.

Securing the wrapped flower, he turned to look at the monster fish.

Sure enough, the eyes of this highly intelligent fish were filled with shock, confusion, and anger!
