143: Chapter 143 Down in one gulp

Listening to the conversation between the girls.

Chen Yi curled his lips slightly, revealing a playful smile, and teased softly, "I didn't expect this, Uncle Chu; you would actually do something like this?"

Chu Xiaohe sighed helplessly, his tone filled with a hint of sorrow, "Sigh, I'm often urgently recalled to work overtime during my time off. Now that things have finally been resolved early, I just want to take a proper vacation. Is that really not allowed?"

"Of course it is!"

Chen Yi responded half-jokingly, "The money you earn from working is what you deserve, but the money you earn while slacking off is what truly belongs to you! Am I right~~~"

Chu Xiaohe waved his hand, seemingly not wanting to hear any more of such teasing.

After all, as a public servant, enjoying paid leave under these circumstances was indeed a bit inappropriate.

"Let's forget about that for now! Brother Chen Yi, you've come just in time!"

Chu Xiaohe's gaze suddenly became enthusiastic, "You should already understand the rules of the Water Region, right? This island in front of us seems to have never been explored, so the resources on it must be richer than one can imagine!"

"However, with Yue'er's and my strength, we can't shake this Water Barrier at all; its durability is simply unimaginable!"

"Brother Chen Yi, your strength is outstanding; perhaps... you can shatter this Water Barrier!"

However, when he spoke halfway, he suddenly froze.

He was completely bewildered.

If he remembered correctly, more than ten days ago, the aura on Chen Yi seemed to be only around the tenth level of the third rank.

But now, Chen Yi's aura had actually reached the fifth level of the fourth rank!

Moreover, it wasn't just Chen Yi; all of his Contracted Spirit Beasts were also emitting a uniform, powerful aura of the fifth level of the fourth rank.

What on earth was going on?

One must know that for a fourth-rank genius Beast Tamer and Spirit Beast, even with sufficient resources, it might not be possible to break through a level in a month.

Yet, for Chen Yi to achieve such a huge breakthrough in just over ten days was simply incredible!

Could it be that he had used some kind of secret treasure to hide his true rank from the beginning?

His true rank was actually that of a Beast Tamer above the sixth rank; otherwise, there would be no way to explain why he was exploring here with six Contracted Spirit Beasts.

That must be why he could easily defeat Jia Lahan...

But the problem was, this Chen Yi looked like he was just a college student, right?

A college student being a sixth-rank Beast Tamer—damn, did he have to be this heaven-defying?

"Stop thinking about it, it's impossible to shatter!"

"You newcomers might not know, but this thing has existed since the birth of the Five Elements Secret Realm, and absolutely no one has been able to shatter it!"

"Ten years ago, our India's SSS-Rank Beast Tamer, Arjun, brought our only SSS-Rank Spirit Beast, Anjali, to challenge this Water Barrier, but they both ended in failure!"

"And you lot, these ragtag bunch from the Dragon Kingdom, still thinking about shattering this Water Barrier? Keep dreaming!"

Before Chen Yi could respond, a harsh, mocking voice came from behind.

Everyone turned to look and saw an Indian man, looking as arrogant as could be, staring at them with disdain.

For the past ten years, he had spent every day in the Water Region. Apart from scavenging for some resources, his only pleasure was watching those who overestimated their abilities come to challenge this massive island.

He especially loved seeing those self-proclaimed peerless prodigies, full of confidence, come to challenge it, only to be rebuffed!

The huge contrast between before and after was simply exhilarating for him!

"Why is it this weird uncle again?"

Chu Feiyu said with a look of disgust.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu? What's up with this uncle?"

Chen Yi asked curiously, "Do you know him?"

Chu Feiyu snorted disdainfully and then explained, "This Indian guy is just a troll, I think his name is Ajay! When we arrived at the Water Region a week ago, he mocked our three-person team for even trying to explore, so annoying!"

"I see..."

Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.

Although he couldn't understand the mindset of such a person, since he had practically offered his face to be slapped, how could he miss this opportunity?

"Don't worry, your Brother Chen Yi will teach him a lesson! Let me give it a try!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ajay's lips also curled up involuntarily.

Another kid who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

The more he acted tough now, the more embarrassing it would be when he couldn't break the Water Barrier!

After all, he was already used to this kind of thing!

"Mm-hmm, I'm counting on you, Brother Chen Yi!"

Chu Feiyu blew a kiss, "If you can shatter this Water Barrier, I'll give you a great reward!"

"Is that so? Then I really have to look forward to it!"

Chen Yi turned around and patted Su Taotao's shoulder, "Go on, Tao Tao, let these people witness your power!"

"Okay, Brother Chen Yi!"

Su Taotao did not hesitate and immediately walked to the bow of the boat.

"Who is that girl? She's so tiny, has her bloodline awakened?"

"Don't judge her by her age; this little girl's bloodline is definitely not low. My Linlin possesses sensing abilities and instinctively felt danger!"

"Should we make a bet? Whether that little girl can shatter... never mind, let's bet on whether she can cause even a ripple!"

"Come on, come on, I'll bet one Thunder Light Jade, betting that she's just here to be funny!"

"I'll also bet one Water Moon Flower, betting she's just here to act cute!"

"I also bet she can't do it!"

"Everyone is betting she can't shake the Water Barrier; how is this even a game?"

A group of onlookers, the Beast Tamers, whispered among themselves, their faces showing a rather casual expression.

Anyway, for them, this was purely for entertainment; it was a trivial matter!

Seeing such an adorable little girl get frustrated, that would feel pretty good, right?

However, in the next second, all of their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Su Taotao took a deep breath, and a small black hole gradually condensed near her mouth.

It emitted a heart-palpitating aura.

Immediately in the next second, an extremely terrifying suction force erupted from the black hole, sweeping across the sky like a hurricane.

The Water Barrier wrapping the giant island began to shake violently at this moment.

It was like a fragile soap bubble, constantly twisting and deforming under the gravitational force of the black hole.

A few seconds later, the Water Barrier finally could not withstand this immense power and shattered upon impact.

The moment the Water Barrier shattered, it turned into countless radiant energy threads, all surging into the black hole and transforming into Su Taotao's own energy!

The Water Barrier that had blocked everyone just disappeared without a trace before their eyes.

Without using any divine artifacts or relying on any secret treasures, relying solely on her own power, Su Taotao shattered it so easily.

At this moment, everyone present fell into a state of collective bewilderment.

They were dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, as if they could fit an egg inside.

Ajay even rubbed his eyes involuntarily, suspecting that he had seen something wrong.

There was actually a Spirit Beast that could use its own power, without any buffs or enhancements, to shatter the Water Barrier so effortlessly?
