A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 96 Water Tiger

Guo Sidi entered the water very quickly.

However, it came up even faster.

He was followed by many green monsters.

These monsters are like monkeys, except that they have a disc on their heads and webbed feet.

Wu Cheng had seen this kind of thing in cartoons before; I think they were called kappa.

However, these kappa were not like the fearsome figures in cartoons, nor were they particularly peace-loving. Their cheeks were red and puffed out as they swam after Guo Si Di. Some kappa even hopped and walked on the water's surface.

Guo Sidi looked extremely disheveled; clearly, these kappa were not easy to deal with. Despite several attempts to stop him, Guo Sidi was still able to get ashore.

After getting ashore, Guo Sidi wiped the water off his face and said, "There are water tigers all over here."

Water Tiger, also known as Kappa.

“These water tigers are very strong. The deeper you go, the stronger the kappa become. They can sense the strength of people who enter the deep pool. I guess the divers you sent down were not strong enough to make them take them seriously.”

"Senior, so you mean we're destined to never get the Dragon Balls?"

“It seems we have no choice but to give up,” Guo Sidi said. “I encountered several Qi Refining Realm water tigers underwater. They were indeed guarding something, which I guess is the Dragon Pearl you mentioned.”

"But the fighting power of the water tigers doubles underwater, while our human fighting power is reduced by more than half. We are no match for these water tigers, no matter what."

Ma Yiming was unwilling to give up: "How about we think of a way to use pumping equipment to drain all the water here?"

"No, the water tigers live in places with flowing water, and by the time we drain the water here, they will have already left with the Dragon Pearl."

Guo Sidi was also somewhat unwilling.

At this moment, Wu Cheng suddenly said, "Why don't I give it a try?"

"You? A mere Martial Apprentice?" Ma Yiming was somewhat incredulous.

Guo Sidi also said, "Disciple, don't be reckless. This water tiger is not easy to deal with."

Wu Chengxin said that this was not his request, but Jin Wanliang insisted that he show off his skills, and he had no choice.

However, he didn't say that. He looked at the deep, emerald-green pool and said, "Master, you also said that the water tigers at the bottom of this pool can actually judge a person's strength. I estimate that my martial arts apprentice's strength will not attract their attention."

“With your strength, you certainly won’t attract the attention of the Water Tigers, but what’s the use of not attracting their attention?” Guo Sidi said. “Once you touch the Dragon Ball, these Water Tigers will still appear. With your strength underwater, you won’t be able to escape, let alone hide.”

Wu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "By the way, I ate a red water lily before, so it should be able to breathe freely in water."

"Red Water Tigers?" Guo Sidi's heart skipped a beat. "If that's the case, you can indeed breathe freely underwater and won't be affected by the water temperature, which would make you suitable for going into the water. But how will you deal with these water tigers?"

Wu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go into the water to investigate first. Or how about this, Master, you come into the water with me and we'll use a feint to our advantage."

“Good idea,” Guo Sidi said. “I’ll be your bait.”

After saying this, Guo Sidi jumped into the cold pool again.

Wu Cheng also jumped into the water.

Upon entering the water, Wu Cheng quickly dived to the bottom.

He could breathe freely in the water and was unaffected by the water temperature, so he was quite at ease.

However, there is also a problem. Although he can breathe freely, the water pressure still exists, which means that the deeper he dives, the slower his body moves and the greater the pressure he experiences.

Although his body-refining technique is very powerful, he is still quite unaccustomed to it under these circumstances.

At this moment, Jin Wanliang spoke up: "Actually, you can check the shop. There's a new item there that you might find useful."

Wu Cheng opened the online store and saw a newly listed product called Pressure Tempering Pills.

Is this something I can use?

Wu Cheng expressed his doubts.

"You dare to doubt my words, boy?" Jin Wanliang was quite dissatisfied. "Actually, I didn't intend to put this Pressure Tempering Pill on your product page so soon. If it weren't for the fact that now is the most suitable time, I probably would have shown it to you only after you became a Silver or higher member."

"What's this thing used for?" Wu Cheng asked.

"Use pressure to temper your body, meow, how can you not understand such a straightforward name?"

"I understand, but the question is, does my body still need strengthening?"

"You think your body is very strong?" Jin Wanliang glanced at Wu Cheng with disdain. "With a body of this strength, let alone in the vast universe, it's just average even among new martial artists."

"You think those comic books about using waterfalls to train are fake, meow? That's just a variation of pressure tempering."

Okay, Jin Wanliang's ramblings have gone completely off the rails; he's even bringing up practicing martial arts by a waterfall.

Wu Cheng looked at the pressure tempering pills. Each one cost five yuan, which wasn't expensive. He decided to buy one and try it.

He quickly bought one and swallowed it directly into his mouth.

After taking the Pressure Tempering Pill, Wu Cheng felt his body become much softer. Under this water pressure, Wu Cheng seemed to be quickly flattened, as the pressure kept seeping into his body.

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose from the water ahead, and a group of water tigers swam in one direction.

It must be that Guo Sidi lured these water tigers away from their original positions. Wu Cheng hurriedly swam towards the direction they had agreed upon before entering the water. After eating the red duckweed, Wu Cheng could see things clearly underwater.

Closer, closer.

Wu Cheng discovered a stone bed at the bottom of the water ahead, and on the stone bed were three perfectly round beads.

This must be the Dragon Ball.

He quickly put the three Dragon Balls into the cat house.

Just as they put away the Dragon Ball, a furious roar came from the water ahead.

Wu Cheng knew that the Qi Refining Realm water tigers guarding the Dragon Pearl had returned. They were about as intelligent as humans and immediately realized that they had been lured away from the mountain, so they turned back very quickly.

Seeing that Shui Hu had returned so quickly, Wu Cheng panicked a little. What should he do?

If you get caught by these water tigers, I doubt anyone can save you.

No, it's not that no one can be saved, at least Jin Wanliang can.

"Master Meow, it's an emergency! Help me!" Wu Cheng said.

"What's the rush? You can't even handle this little thing?" Jin Wanliang said calmly.

Wu Chengxin said, "What seems like a small matter to you is a big deal to me, a matter of life and death."

Three enormous water tigers appeared ahead. These three water tigers looked formidable; any one of them could easily turn Wu Cheng into dust. What should he do now?
