Leveling Up With My Pet
Chapter 17 New Powerful Skill ++

Suddenly, Liu Yong was a little nervous and worried.

"Is it possible that my pet snapping turtle will not be able to tolerate the high salinity of a seawater environment and instinctively try to exit the water?"

Liu Yong stood beside the vast expanse of the sea, his mind preoccupied with anxious thoughts and his heart filled with apprehension.

Despite his nervousness, he remained fixated on the water's surface, eagerly awaiting any sign of his pet snapping turtle.

After several tense minutes without indicating the turtle's appearance, a sense of relief washed over Liu Yong, assuaging some of his earlier concerns.

"Little snapping turtle, how are you doing?"

The snapping turtle's excitement was palpable as soon as it entered the vast expanse of the sea, displaying little interest in its surroundings as it swam swiftly through the water.

Initially, the sea was relatively shallow, characterized by a sandy, gravelly, or silty seafloor devoid of fish or other marine life forms. The absence of seaweed or any other notable aquatic flora further underscored the starkness of the turtle's surroundings.

Nonetheless, these features did little to dampen the snapping turtle's enthusiasm as it continued to revel in the experience of being in the open sea.

Huahai City, where the snapping turtle had ventured into the sea, had long been stripped of its natural beauty due to the devastating effects of industrialization.

However, after a brief swim, the turtle soon noticed a striking shift. The once-barren seafloor had adorned with vibrant coral reefs teeming with a diverse array of fish and shrimps, and the occasional presence of seaweed added to the rich tapestry of aquatic life.

This newfound abundance of marine life stood in stark contrast to the earlier desolate landscape, highlighting the resilience of nature in the face of human-induced environmental degradation.

At that moment, the snapping turtle received a message from Liu Yong and immediately slowed down. With unbridled glee, it exclaimed,

"Master, this body of water is much larger than Ink Lake! Swimming here is an absolute delight!"

"This is the sea, of course, it is bigger than Ink Lake, how do you feel, can you adapt to such a seawater environment?"

Liu Yong replied.

"I don't have any problems, I don't feel any discomfort."

The turtle said.

"You are awesome!"

"You can also stay in the seawater."

Liu Yong said it with complete determination.

Liu Yong was relieved a lot and gradually became happy. He was able to adapt to the seawater environment.

In addition to being happy, I opened the pet panel and looked at the situation of the snapping turtle with satisfaction.

]]]]]]

Liu Yong, filled with a pleasant surprise hearing the snapping turtle's message. It wasn't that the turtle's physical attributes had undergone any significant transformation, nor had it miraculously grown to a weight of 65.5 kilograms. But, it was the realization that the snapping turtle had acquired a new skill that was the cause of Liu Yong's astonishment.

Indeed, the snapping turtle's newly acquired skill was impressive, though it remained a passive ability. Nevertheless, it was valuable, particularly in the clear and pristine sea where visibility was not an issue.

However, the skill would be limited in turbid and murky seawater, where the turtle's sight is impeded, drastically reducing its ability to perceive and navigate the environment.

As the turtle descended further, reaching depths of four to one hundred meters, the complete lack of light led to a total absence of visual cues, rendering the surrounding environment pitch-black and invisible to the naked eye.

The turtle's ability to rely on its super perception skill would become even more critical in such conditions, enabling it to navigate the dark and unfamiliar terrain.

Keen perception can perceive everything within a radius of 100 meters, no matter how dark or turbid the sea is.

It's like the release of divine thoughts in comprehension novels.

This one is more awesome.

The cheerful voice of the little snapping turtle sounded in Liu Yong's mind,

"Master, I have mastered a new skill. I can sense all the surrounding situations."

Liu Yong said:

"Congratulations, but this is the sea, you should pay attention to your safety, and you can't swim too far."

The snapping turtle weighs 65.5 kilograms, big or small; nothing can threaten it in Ink Lake.

It is different in the sea. There are still many things that can threaten it. Large predatory fish, including sharks, can threaten its survival.

"Little snapping turtle, we will make our home in the sea from now on. In addition to paying attention to safety, I also want to give you a name."

"Okay, okay, I want a name." It was as happy as a child.

Liu Yong thought for a while and said:

"I hope you will become the Overlord of the world's oceans in the future. Your name will be 'Overlord'. How about it?"

"I like this name, from now on you can call me Overlord."

The snapping turtle was as happy as a child again and said.

Regarding the name of the snapping turtle, Liu Yong started to think about it two days earlier. He originally wanted to call it Xuanwu, but he also wanted to name it Black Dragon.

After thinking about it, he decided to call it "Overlord."

It is called "Overlord" from today onwards, and he hopes it will become the Overlord in the sea as soon as possible.

Bawang's attributes are good, and  it wants to share characteristics with master Liu Yong.

If an adult also has attributes such as strength, physique, and agility, they are generally between 30 and 50, and those that can exceed 50 belong to the strong man level, which is very strong.

The current three attributes of the little snapping turtle are 82, 75, and 71, which are far more robust than the average strong man. The king of special forces or a top athlete is estimated to have similar attributes.

The key is that this attribute can be increased. As the Overlord grows, the feature will also increase. It is estimated that it will take little time to break through 100.

It could be better to share attributes with Bawang. Sooner or later, Liu Yong will become the peaked person in this world.

Implement attribute sharing!

Liu Yong found that his whole body seemed surrounded by a heat stream, and it took two or three minutes for the heat to dissipate gradually.

"My whole body seemed strong like one punch could kill a cow."

Liu Yong shouted in his heart.

At this moment, Liu Yong couldn't contain his excitement, and it took several minutes to calm down.

"Overlord, be safe, and don't go too far."

After some explanation, Liu Yong got into the car and left with peace of mind.

At night, before going to sleep, Liu Yong communicated with Bawang again and asked about it.

The snapping turtle, Bawang, appeared to have successfully acclimatized to the seawater environment, having spent almost an entire day swimming and exploring without experiencing any significant discomfort.

It was clear that Bawang's physiology had adapted remarkably well to the marine environment, allowing it to thrive and enjoy its new surroundings.

Additionally, it had found a suitable location to settle down temporarily, indicating a degree of discernment or intelligence in its behavior.

The ability to replace and select an optimal habitat for rest and recovery further underscored the remarkable adaptability and resourcefulness of Bawang.

About 20 to 30 nautical miles from Huahai City, there is a small uninhabited island with a cave below the sea surface, which has become Bawang's new home.

The next day.

Liu Yong did not go out for the time being and checked the waters near Huahai City on the Internet, whether there were any shipwrecks in history, and planned to send another sum.

The few million in hand seems a lot. After buying a car, there are less than five million left. It is not enough to buy a house.

"I can only accept a two-bedroom apartment in a slightly off-site location. I want to have a good place."

Liu Yond said.

After checking the shipwreck information for a while, there was no result for the time being.

"I bought a pair of 10kg dumbbells on a feverish mind. After practicing a few times, I felt that they were too heavy. I regretted it a bit. I wish I had bought 5kg dumbbells."

Liu Yong thought.

Having had his physical attributes improved, Liu Yong wanted to try the pair of 10kg dumbbells, so he took them out, wiped them clean, and started exercising with each hand.

"Hey, why is it so light!"

"It feels a little bit wrong."

Liu Stopped and looked at the pair of dumbbells carefully. Only when he saw the words "10KG" on them did he know that there was nothing wrong with the dumbbells but that his physical attributes had improved.

"one two three...….."

Liu Yong started exercising one after another, but after dozens of exercises, he didn't feel tired and felt a little excited again.

"I'm so good!"

"I used to say that I couldn't stand it after 20 or 30 reps and couldn't keep going. Now I've done dozens of representatives and don't feel the same strenuous effort."

Two hundred blows!

After a total 200 times of exercises, he finally got a feeling,

where is the limit? Is it 300 times or 400 times? Liu Yong is not going to verify it.

Put down the dumbbells and did dozens of push-ups.

Currently, Liu Yong feels that he is a superman wearing shorts.
