Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Under the effect of randomly varying damage in the green state, the percentage damage of the fishhook exploded to an astonishing level.

Less than half a second later, the Holy Fish Projection's stamina value instantly recovered by 10%, returning to over 50%.

In an instant, the sacred fish projection changed color three times in succession.

The speed was so fast that even Su Wang couldn't pinpoint which colors it was, but he eventually determined it to be yellow.

Although the recovery effect almost completely negated the 11% damage dealt earlier.

But without this outbreak of over 1100 billion,

The Holy Fish Projection's stamina should have returned to nearly 60% or more, not the current 50%.

Although we are still halfway to successfully capturing the sacred fish projection.
But the massive loss gave the fishermen a great deal of encouragement, and they cheered wildly.

Squirrel News: "Over 1100 billion! Su Shen is amazing!"

Fisherman91: "Haha! With God Su around, what use is the Holy Fish Projection's ability to restore stamina?"

Dawn: "Charge! This time it's yellow!"

...

The yellow status is very advantageous for fishermen, as the 100% attribute boost greatly negates the damage reduction effect of the Sacred Fish Projection.

Without the limitation on damage frequency, the percentage damage of the Extraordinary Fishhook becomes even more formidable.

Although the damage reduction of the Sacred Fish Projection has been increased to 63%, each trigger can still deal as much as 190 billion damage.

With the frequency reduction, unless you're extremely unlucky, triggering it four or five times within 10 seconds is not a problem at all.

In addition to the damage caused by the numerous fishermen, the sacred fish projection changed color in less than 7 seconds.

This time, no particularly tricky color appeared; instead, it was a standard cyan.

In the last 3 seconds before the recovery effect was triggered, the Holy Fish Projection's stamina was reduced by another 5%, and it was about to trigger the next color.

In the next phase, the damage reduction from the Sacred Fish Projection will reach a peak of 70%.

The Holy Fish Projection's stamina was less than 40%, not much more than the normal 30%.

Upon reaching this stage, Su Wang realized it was time to unleash his true power.

Use the choking wind technique!

The power of the choke wind lies in its ability to multiply the damage received by the target, rather than increasing the user's own attributes.

In this way, the percentage damage from the fishhook will also be boosted by the choke wind effect.

Due to the significant limitations on its use, Su Wang had previously refrained from using it.

Now that the Holy Fish projection's stamina has reached the point of being able to kill, Su Wang no longer needs to hide it.

Based on the remaining stamina of the Sacred Fish Projection, it can perform a maximum of 5-8 more color changes.

Su Wang was betting that there wouldn't be any purple ones among them. As long as there were no purple ones, he was confident that he could kill them quickly.

With the added effect of the choking wind, the situation instantly changed.

The percentage-based damage appears 2 seconds after the effect is triggered.

The terrifying damage of over 380 billion directly caused the color of the sacred fish projection to change.

This time it's red.
It has a significant impact on ordinary fishermen, but it has no impact on Suwang.

In the 3rd second, the Holy Fish projection restored 11% of its stamina, bringing the maximum stamina back to 44%.

However, just 5 seconds later, the percentage damage from the two fishhooks caused his stamina to drop to 35% again.

The color also changed to blue.

Two seconds later, just as the first layer of the Throat-Strike effect is about to end, the percentage-based damage reappears.

The Holy Fish's projection stamina continued to decline, dropping to only 31%.

Seeing that it wasn't the most troublesome purple state, Su Wang didn't hesitate to choose the second stack of the choking wind.

The damage increase surged to 400%.
Even if the damage reduction of the Holy Fish projection reaches 70%, a single percentage-based damage will still reach a staggering 600 billion!
It only takes a single trigger to change the color of the sacred fish projection.

In the third second of the second-layer Throat-Strike Wind state, the percentage damage of the fishhook was successfully triggered, instantly causing the Holy Fish projection to enter the next color.

However, this time, they were extremely unlucky and encountered the color purple, which they least wanted to see.

Although the effect of the second-layer choking wind was still present, Su Wang had no choice but to immediately detach the fishhook from the sacred fish projection.

"pity…"

The appearance of the purple state gave the Holy Fish projection a brief respite.

Once the 13% recovery effect occurs, the Holy Fish Projection's stamina value will also recover to 39%.

In just over 20 seconds, the stamina value of the Sacred Fish Projection fluctuated wildly.

Even the many fishermen who participated in the catch could sense that Su Shen was starting to exert his final effort.

Upon reaching this stage,

The fishermen all understood that their combined efforts were extremely limited and could not compare to the power of Su Shen alone.

The final battle has become a one-man show by Su Shen.

As the Holy Fish projection regained its stamina, the purple status disappeared.

Su Wang didn't dare to delay and immediately cast his hook again to activate his professional skill.

Although the skill effect was interrupted midway, the recovery time of the Holy Fish Projection was exactly within the second Throat-Strike Wind.

When the skill hits again, the second layer of the Throat Wind effect will end in 2 seconds.

With less than a second remaining, Su Wang immediately applied the third layer of the Throat-Strike Wind effect.

He now only hopes that the Holy Fish projection will not trigger the green or purple status again.

Without using the [Lightning Pulse] ability, which has severe side effects, the only option left is to use the [Perfect Copy] ability to add a final choke blow.

In other words, Su Wang only has 20 seconds left to kill the Holy Fish projection.

If the purple status reappears, 10 seconds will be wasted.

At that point, he would be forced to use the power of [Lightning Pulse], which was the last thing Su Wang wanted to see.

The three layers of the Throat-Strike Wind have a damage increase effect that has reached an extremely high value of 800%!
Triggering the fishhook's percentage once will cause a terrifying 1200 billion damage!
Currently, the Sacred Fish projection is in an orange state, so there's no need to worry.

At the 4th second, the percentage is triggered.

The 12% percentage damage instantly caused the Holy Fish Projection's stamina to plummet, turning it into a cyan state.

If you encounter this blue state before using the third layer of the Throat-Strike Wind effect, it will be quite troublesome.

After all, the 500% increase in stamina consumption will directly prohibit the use of Chokehold.

However, the third use of the Throat-Strike has already occurred, and the current consumption is only a few points of damage from the skill itself, which can be completely ignored.

At the 6-second mark, another percentage-based damage was triggered, dealing another 12% damage.

The sacred fish projection changed color again, turning yellow.

Two percentage-based damage instances within 10 seconds,
This caused the Holy Fish Projection's stamina to plummet from 39% to a mere 15%.

If it happens just once more, the Sacred Fish Projection will have no hope of turning the tide.

At the 8th second, the percentage damage was triggered as expected, and the Holy Fish Projection instantly had less than 3% of its stamina remaining.

At the same moment, the sacred fish projection also changed color, and it turned into the worst possible purple.

However, just as Su Wang was shocked, another unexpected event occurred.

The Holy Fish Projection's stamina recovery effect, which occurs every 10 seconds, instantly restored 16 stamina points to the fish.

This caused the purple state of the Holy Fish projection to change again and turn green the instant it appeared due to the recovery of its stamina.

If the Holy Fish's projection has a lot of stamina, the stamina recovery is undoubtedly very frustrating.

At this moment, Su Wang couldn't help but applaud.

Because the purple status that I was most worried about was skipped, I was given 10 seconds of the choke wind effect time.

Although the color is also a very tricky green this time, the Holy Fish projection is less than 20% complete!
Just as the third layer of the choking wind effect was about to end, Su Wang immediately used Perfect Copy to add the fourth layer.

The damage increase effect of the 4th layer has reached a terrifying 1600%!

Currently, the hook only deals 1.5% percentage damage, but a normal trigger can cause a terrifying 24% damage.

It can completely wipe out all the remaining stamina of the Holy Fish Projection in one go!
Of course, the prerequisite is that...
Damage changes in the green state should not result in an effect below 84%.

Su Wang's palms, gripping the fishing rod tightly, were now damp with sweat.

It can deal 10 instances of damage within 10 seconds, and one of those instances must trigger the 10% percentage damage effect of the fishhook.

At the same time, the damage change must be no less than 84%.

The final outcome is determined by these 10 seconds.

The attempt failed. The Sacred Fish Projection restored 17% of its maximum stamina, and the 4-stack Choking Wind effect ended.

Su Wang will be forced to use his [Lightning Pulse] ability.

Success! The last 20% of the Holy Fish Projection's stamina was completely depleted, and the Holy Fish Feast came to a successful end.

The first injury...

Second injury…

Even after the fifth instance of damage, the percentage-based damage was still not triggered.

Su Wang's breathing became a little rapid.

The first time...

The first time...

Finally, as the 8th damage notification appeared, Su Wang's tense nerves relaxed.

The percentage-based damage was triggered, and the damage change not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

The Holy Fish projection instantly depleted its last 20% stamina, and its massive body disintegrated into multicolored light particles.

[The seven-colored sacred fish has been successfully captured; the Sacred Fish Feast has ended.]

As the notification appeared, Su Wang felt the scene before him blur for a moment.

When the view became clear again, what appeared before my eyes was the interior space of the Heart of Death.

Several notification messages followed in quick succession.

[Seven-Colored Sacred Fish King successfully captured, obtained Seven-Colored Sacred Fish Belly*1.]

[The Sacred Fish Feast has ended. The player who ranked first in damage percentage on the leaderboard has been awarded 1 Unlimited Seven-Colored Realm Pass.]

Damage Percentage Ranking:
First place: The Heartless - 6946.7867 billion.

Second place: Dragon Slayer - 4124 million.

Third place: Qin Shi Huang – 3768 million.

Fourth place: ...

...

[The damage points from the Sacred Fish Feast have been converted into 69467867 Sacred Fish Scales, which can be exchanged for items within the Secret Realm.] [An unlimited-time pass to the Rainbow Secret Realm has been detected; the time limit for the Rainbow Secret Realm has been removed.]

The Seven-Colored Sacred Fish has been captured, and the Seven-Colored Secret Realm Exchange Shop is now open.

...

The series of notifications left Su Wang somewhat overwhelmed.

However, what Su Wang cared about most was what kind of reward the Seven-Colored Sacred Fish King would offer.

They quickly took out the belly of the seven-colored sacred fish from the fish hold to examine it.

【Seven-Colored Sacred Fish Belly】: Contains a world-class treasure; opening it will grant you 1 Sacred Stele.

Based on the item hints, it seems that only one item can be obtained from inside the fish's belly.

After Su Wang activated the Menata, the prompt he received confirmed his guess.

[Store 1 Holy Monument in the Fish Container.]

After the item was taken out of the fish hold, it turned out to be just a palm-sized stone slab.

[Holy Monument]

Level: Sacred Relic.

effect:

Sanctification—

①: Special dock buildings can be upgraded without limit to achieve extraordinary quality.

②: Every 7 days, a special dock building can be sanctified, upgrading it to a holy building.

Description: A supreme sacred object.

...

The Holy Stele serves a similar purpose to the Seven-Colored Ascension Stele, but it lacks the ability to bless fishermen and purify their bloodlines.

However, the monument is not the core of the dock building, but a special item that can be reused.

"It seems the value lies in the special buildings at the Saint-level?"

Su Wang realized that the core value of this sacred monument should be its sanctification of architecture.

Secondly, its use is more widely restricted and is no longer limited to a single dock.

Instead, one can activate the effects of this sacred monument by simply arriving at any dock, even one that is not one's own.

To determine its specific value, we need to examine the differences between holy-level buildings.

Next, Su Wang turned his attention to the other products generated by this Sacred Fish Feast.

Take out a card with the image of the Seven-Colored Fish King printed on it from the fish hold. It is the special reward for ranking first in the Sacred Fish Feast.

[Unlimited Access to the Seven-Colored Realm]

Effect: Allows you to open the normal and advanced versions of the Seven-Colored Secret Realm at any time. There is no time limit for the Secret Realm. Within the Secret Realm, the Fisherman's attributes are increased by 100%.

Description: A special token for clearing the Seven-Colored Secret Realm.

...

"This stuff is pretty good."

Su Wang's eyes lit up, and he happily played with the card in his hand.

In the past, each time the Seven-Colored Secret Realm was opened, one Seven-Colored Scale had to be consumed.

Although he consistently ranked first in daily pollution cleanup, he wasn't lacking in these colorful scales.

With this pass, the seven-colored scales can be used as rewards for subordinates.

With the removal of opening limits and time restrictions, the Seven-Colored Secret Realm can serve as a perfect backyard for acquiring resources.

The information mentions both normal and advanced versions of the secret realm.

This likely refers to two types of secret realms: one containing rare fish and the other containing only the King of Fish, offering a wider range of choices.

After checking the items he had already obtained, Su Wang then turned his attention to the newly opened exchange shop in the secret realm.

Summon the Secret Realm Scroll, and sure enough, a Secret Realm Shop option has appeared.

Once selected to activate, numerous exchangeable items immediately appeared on the scroll page.

【Seven-Colored Secret Realm Shop】

Possesses 69467867 sacred fish scales.

Rainbow Fish Pearl (Common): 10 Holy Scales/1 pearl.

Seven-Colored Ascension Monument: 7 Holy Scales / 1 monument.

Monument of Ascension (White): 5 Holy Scales/1 monument.

Purple King Scale: 1 Holy Scales/1 Scale.

Blue Royal Scale: 5 Holy Scales/1 Scale.

...

Red King Scale: 5 Holy Scales / 1 Scale.

Seven-colored scales: 10 sacred scales/1.

Extraordinary 4 Fish Ingredients: 1 Sacred Scale/1 servings.

Gold 4 Fish Supplies: 1 Sacred Scale / 1 servings.

...

The shop offers a wide variety of items for exchange, but most of them can be obtained from the dungeon itself.

What cannot be obtained through secret realms are some special baits.

The synthetic bait needed to capture the Fish King can be obtained without consuming any Sacred Scales.

Some special fish baits are said to have the same effect as rare fish meat of a certain level, and require Holy Scales to exchange for them.

With Su Wang's current strength, he is capable of obtaining each and every one of these exchange items.

However, using Holy Scales to exchange for them can undoubtedly save a lot of time.

With nearly 7 million Holy Scales in reserve, it would take a lot of effort to spend them all.

Just then, a call request came in.

Immediately afterwards, a series of call requests followed.

The applicants are members of the alliance and fishermen at Fool's Wharf; only they can initiate the call.

Su Wang knew without even thinking that these people were contacting him because of the Sacred Fish Banquet.

Ji Boda was chosen to answer the call again.

Soon, Ji Boda's excited voice came over.

"Boss! You were really awesome this time. A lot of people in the chat area are starting to admire you."

"You took down that powerful sacred fish almost entirely by yourself."

Su Wang chuckled when he heard this.

"Catching the rainbow bream was not my achievement alone; all the fishermen participated."

Su Wang then asked Ji Boda what he wanted to see him about. If it was just to offer some praise, then there was no need for him to come.

Ji Boda then quickly explained his purpose.

It turns out that with the end of the Sacred Fish Feast, every fisherman who chose to participate received a limited number of Secret Realm Passes.

Ji Boda came to inquire about how to use the Sacred Scales and wanted to ask Su Wang for his opinion.

Su Wang also realized from Ji Bo's question that he was not the only one who had opened the Secret Realm Shop.

Everyone has the opportunity to enter the Seven-Colored Secret Realm, and everyone can also open the Secret Realm Shop, which is good news.

Not to mention the Seven-Colored Secret Realm, even the Five-Colored, Three-Colored, or even One-Colored Secret Realms have only been entered by a few people.

This is also a crucial dividing line that limits the improvement of fishermen's capabilities.

Now that everyone has the opportunity to enter, the strength of the fishermen may see another collective boost.

Ji Boda was lucky enough to win the second-place reward this time, obtaining more than 4 Holy Scales. He wants to know how to use them.

He originally intended to exchange for high-quality fishing gear accessories, along with some colorful scales and special bait.

After some thought, Su Wang offered his advice.

Fishing gear accessories don't need to be exchanged; you can consider exchanging them for bait and fishing supplies.

The appearance of this Sacred Fish Feast inspired Su Wang with a new idea.

Originally, the intention was to rely on the Pisces King to benefit many fishermen and promote development.

The problem is that Pisces King set many conditions, which limited this plan.

However, the appearance of the Secret Realm Shop provides a large number of ways to obtain resources.

The only thing that needs to be relied upon by the Pisces King is probably the issue of the dock's population.

However, as more polluted docks are cleaned up, the population is no longer solely provided by those local docks.

Su Wang himself can also start providing the dock population.

As long as the Holy Feast is held frequently enough, the fishermen will soon become wealthy, and their strength will naturally increase steadily.

There seems to be real hope for a counterattack against the polluted sea areas within July!

The Holy Banquet is quite difficult, and it would be too much for Su Wang to handle alone.

He decided to train several powerful assistants to help reduce the difficulty of the Holy Feast.

The solution is extraordinary fishing gear accessories!

When it comes to catching rainbow bream, the special effects of superb fishing tackle accessories are the key.

Having captured the purple fish king, Su Wang obtained some extraordinary accessories, which he planned to reward a few familiar fishermen in advance.

Ji Boda was also one of the candidates, which is why it was recommended that he not exchange the sacred scales for fishing gear accessories.

When Ji Boda learned that Su Wang wanted to offset his military achievements with battle merits,
When he was rewarded with the extraordinary fishing gear accessories, he was as happy as a monkey, shouting and yelling repeatedly.

Su Wang couldn't take it anymore and quickly ended the call.

They then contacted Old Cao, who guarded the Fool's Wharf, and informed him of the same matter.

However, Su Wang simply gave away Lao Cao's spare parts free of charge.

After all, he was one of the first old subordinates to arrive.
In addition, since they lost many opportunities to fight and acquire resources in order to help manage the docks, it is only right to take care of them a little.

Su Wang also had plans to train Cao Ge to become the second Sub-Saint Fisherman.
