I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 56 Is this how you fish for fish?

Nine o'clock in the morning, in the live broadcast room.

"All the clues we had gathered before pointed to the other side, but now a large river is blocking our way."

Under normal circumstances, we would definitely try to cross the river, but as you all know, this world is different from Earth. All kinds of ferocious beasts are everywhere. This is true for terrestrial creatures, and naturally, it is no different for aquatic creatures.

To cross the river, one must first know what kind of wild animals live in it, so as not to be bitten to death halfway across.

"Let's try fishing next and see what's in the river."

"When it comes to fishing, it's actually quite simple."

……

Watching Qi Xuan talk eloquently in the live stream, netizens were all amused:
"Fishing is easy? If I hadn't seen your fishing process yesterday, I would have almost believed you!"

"Qi Shen is probably still asleep. He probably caught a lot of fish in his dream last night."

"That's when I have to bring out my pre-recorded video from yesterday. Enjoy it together, it'll be hilarious."

"Hahaha, if Qi Shen knew that there were secretly filmed videos leaked, he would probably beat the person who filmed yesterday to death."

"Popular XX streamer's scandalous video leaked! He actually did this behind everyone's back!"

……

Meanwhile, some members of fishing associations and even their friends and family members were also mocking the fish in the live stream:
"If you can't fish, don't fish, or you'll embarrass yourself."

"You said fishing was easy? If it's so easy, why haven't you caught a single fish?"

"It's heartbreaking to see incompetent people occupying such a good fishing spot with abundant fish!"

"President Chu is right. What's the use of fans praising you so much if you can't catch any fish? Do you really think everyone is blind?"

"These kinds of streamers who love to talk big are only good because no one manages their live streams, otherwise they would have been reported long ago."

……

in reality.

Chu Jinghe continues to post on social media platforms.

Each post contained no text, only pictures of various fish caught.

Those buckets full of fish undoubtedly amplified the mockery to the extreme.

……

On the floating continent.

Qi Xuan glanced at the river not far away and continued speaking to the camera:

"After the broadcast ended yesterday, I tried fishing, but it wasn't very successful. It wasn't because of my skills, but because the fish in this river were too fierce. Even top fishing experts in real life would have a hard time catching them, let alone me."

But after reflecting on it, I've now found a new fishing method that guarantees a 100% success rate. I'm not kidding, you'll see.

Seeing Qi Xuan's confident expression, netizens offered their advice:

"There's no need, absolutely no need. We trust you can catch fish, okay?"

"Qi Shen, why don't we stop fishing? It's not that you can't catch fish, it's just that it's taking up too much time. We can even take a detour. It's really not that you can't catch fish."

"Anyway, it's just to test the danger in the river, we don't necessarily have to fish. Judging from yesterday's live broadcast, the fish in this river are indeed quite ferocious. If we just fish, how long would it take to catch them all?"

"Fishing is a minor matter. We need to cross the river as soon as possible. It rained heavily a few days ago. If there are any traces of indigenous people on the other side of the river, the sooner we get there, the easier it will be to find them. The longer we wait, the more likely those traces will disappear due to environmental disturbances."

……

No matter how much the viewers in the live stream tried to persuade him, Qi Xuan remained obstinate. Ultimately, he completely ignored their advice and proceeded according to his own plan.

But when he talks about a 100% success rate in fishing, he's not just making empty claims or relying on anything.

After yesterday's probing, he discovered that the fish in this river are quite naive, lacking the cunning of those on Earth. As long as you're willing to bait them, they'll just pop out of the water like crazy, displaying a primal wildness.

The problem is that these fish are too ferocious. Fishhooks, fishing lines, and various fishing traps are completely ineffective against them and are destroyed in minutes. Conventional fishing methods are utterly useless.

Since conventional methods are not working, don't blame me for using unconventional methods.

In a blind spot not captured by the camera, Qi Xuan directly used the trial card for "Swift Wind Palm".

Since the "Swift Palm" trial card can be drawn from the [Single Item] draw, it means it's not as valuable as you might imagine.

It just so happens that he has never used this thing before, so to avoid panic during wartime, he can try it out in advance and accumulate experience for the future.

Moreover, clearing out the fish and opening up the river channel now will allow for a successful crossing later, so it's not a waste.

After confirming the use, the trial card in my hand disappeared completely in an instant.

At the same time, countless cultivation and usage experiences related to the "Swift Wind Palm" flooded Qi Xuan's mind, as if he had cultivated this palm technique for decades and could easily use it with a casual movement.

Qi Xuan strode to the wide river, exuding confidence and charisma, his imposing presence leaving countless viewers on Earth utterly astonished.
"Why does it feel like Qi Shen has suddenly changed?"

"I get it! It feels like the protagonist facing the final boss!"

"This charm really touches my heart! I'd even put a dog leash on me if I wanted."

"Those watching the live stream know it's a fishing game, but those who don't might think it's a showdown at the Forbidden City."

"Speaking of fishing, where's his fishing rod? He doesn't even have a fish basket or fish trap. How is he supposed to fish?"

"Hahaha, even with all the preparations, I couldn't catch anything, let alone now. An amateur is an amateur."

"You think you can catch fish just by having a lot of presence? If that were true, all the movie stars would have been at the top of the fishing world long ago!"

……

Qi Xuan was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

He paused briefly by the river before continuing onward.

The river flowed over his ankles, over his calves, over his knees... all the way to his waist.

Standing in waist-deep river water, he casually took out bait and scattered it around the area.

Almost immediately after the bait was scattered, the nearby river surface began to churn violently.

Countless streams of water surged and flowed from all directions, converging on him.

Soon, the first rapids swept close by.

Before the fish could even swallow the bait, Qi Xuan swiftly slashed his right hand into the water, grabbing the carnivorous fish covered in sharp teeth. He then tossed it far ashore, leaving it to thrash about on the distant bank.

As he threw the fish, his left hand had already caught another one.

Immediately afterwards, his hands moved with lightning speed, thrusting repeatedly, causing waves to surge.

One after another, strangely shaped carnivorous fish flew ashore.

In the end, the flying fish formed a parabola in the air.

Seeing this, countless netizens were stunned:

"...Is this how you fish, you fucking do it?!"
