From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 152 Unparalleled Handsomeness

The large ship cuts through the waves.

"Old Su, the core of the Ten Islands District, Black Crocodile Island, is just ahead."

Following the direction Jiang Liuchuan pointed, Su Yu looked up and was slightly shocked.

The river here is as wide as a vast ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Amidst the vast expanse of water, a massive island, like a colossal beast, sits atop the surface, its houses standing shoulder to shoulder, brightly lit, resembling a bustling marketplace.

"This island was a truly ominous place back then."

Jiang Liuchuan waved his folding fan, his tone tinged with awe: "It is said that a hundred years ago, a black crocodile overlord at the Profound Bone Realm was entrenched here. Its skin was thick and its flesh was tough, and it could spew black water that corroded everything. Later, the three major families joined forces and invited three Profound Bone Realm experts from the inner city. They fought fiercely for three days and three nights before finally killing it, and that's how Black Crocodile Island came to be today."

"Mysterious Bone Realm—"

Su Yu's gaze narrowed slightly.

He had heard his master mention that a Xuan Gu Realm expert could easily kill a Forging Muscle Realm expert, and there was not a single person in the outer city of Black Stone City!

It seems that the powerful figures of Blackrock City are still all in the inner city. I wonder if the current turmoil in Blackrock City and the invasion of the Black Lotus Cult will force these powerful figures to show themselves.

Black Crocodile Island, the Jiang family's residence.

After passing through the bustling market, the two arrived at a private body of water on the north side of the island.

The area is enclosed by thick iron and wooden stakes, the water is calm, and a faint shimmering light can be seen flowing through it. Three uniquely shaped boats are moored on the shore.

"Old Su, this is the small treasure ship you wanted, the Cloud Shuttle."

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he followed Jiang Liuchuan onto the boat.

The boat was about three zhang long and was made entirely of a hard, spiritual wood called iron birch, giving it a deep bronze color. The hull was long and slender with smooth lines, and to adapt to the harsh environment of the Blackwater River, the bottom of the boat was inlaid with rams made of black water iron.

The two continued into the cabin.

Although the space was small, it had everything one needed. In the center of the cabin was a fist-sized firestone, radiating heat and dispelling the damp chill of the water.

At the stern, there is a small propulsion furnace, which also burns fire yang stones. It seems to be driven by an array. Once activated, it can propel the ship at an extremely high speed.

"What a great ship!" Su Yu exclaimed.

Compared to the awning boat he had previously rented, this was a complete upgrade.

"Haha, of course! This treasure ship was brought from Jian'an Prefecture; most families don't have one. This ship is empty this month, so feel free to use it." Jiang Liuchuan waved his hand generously.

The two left the boat and returned to shore. Jiang Liuchuan invited Su Yu to stay the night before leaving the boat, and Su Yu readily agreed. Just then, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager ran over, covered in sweat, and knelt down with a thud.

"Young Master! You've finally arrived!"

"The strange fish that attacked the treasure fish still hasn't been caught! Last night—last night it snatched away another red-tailed carp! This is already the teenth one this month!"

"What?"

More than a dozen precious fish, worth at least several thousand taels! To lose them all in less than a month is something even the Jiang family can't afford.

"Didn't I offer a hefty reward? Where is Wang Xue, the hired retainer? Why hasn't she caught this strange fish yet!"

As Jiang Liuchuan was speaking, a woman walked over from a distance.

The woman was dressed in a tight black outfit and had a slender figure. She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with healthy tan skin. She carried a bundle of specially made steel harpoons on her back, and her whole demeanor exuded a wild and capable aura.

This person is none other than Wang Xue, a famous fishing expert in Blackrock City, known as the Flying Fork Master.

"Young Master Jiang, I have not neglected my duties. Before I arrived, this strange fish appeared several times, and your five or six retainers couldn't even catch a hair on it, let alone stop it."

A hint of arrogance appeared on Wang Xue's face. "After I arrived, I wounded this strange fish with a harpoon on my first attempt, driving it away without letting it harm any of the treasure fish!"

Jiang Liuchuan looked at the steward and saw him nod, knowing that Wang Xue was not lying.

"Then why do the treasure fish keep disappearing?"

At this point, Wang Xue said with a headache, "This strange fish is intelligent and extremely cunning. Ever since I injured it once, it only attacks at night. At night, visibility is limited, and it is very strong. Even the thick iron wire net can't stop its charge in a single breath—"

Jiang Liuchuan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Lord Wang, all I want now is results! If you can solve that strange fish, my monthly salary will increase by two hundred taels, plus three treasure fish as a reward!"

Wang Xue felt a surge of excitement. She was currently at the second stage of her acupoint development and desperately needed resources to break through. If she could resolve this matter, she would have the resources for that breakthrough!

"Good! Young Master Jiang is straightforward!"

She confidently patted the harpoon on her back: "I'll personally keep watch tonight and lay out the bait. If it dares to show itself, I'll spear it up!"

At this moment, Su Yu also spoke up, "Junior Brother Jiang, do you have any spare harpoons? Give me three, I'll help out tonight."

He now receives dividends from the Jiang family's business, and Jiang Liuchuan has invested in and helped him a lot in the early stages, so it wouldn't hurt to lend him a hand.

"you?"

Wang Xue, standing beside her, frowned and swept her gaze over with hostility: "And who are you? I never want others interfering in my affairs!"

She didn't want anyone else to interfere, because if they actually killed the monster fish, they would take away her credit.

Moreover, she had already agreed to this matter, so Su Yu's words at this moment seemed more like he was trying to steal her business.

Jiang Liuchuan quickly smoothed things over: "This is my senior brother Su Yu from the martial arts school. Don't worry, Elder Wang. Senior Brother Su is just helping out. If we can resolve this strange fish, he will fulfill his promise to you without any reduction."

Hearing this, Wang Xue's expression softened slightly, but she still snorted coldly, saying, "It's not that I look down on others, but this harpoon throwing requires special techniques and years of experience. An amateur interfering will only scare the fish and make things worse!"

Su Yu smiled faintly and did not argue.

He always prefers to prove people wrong with actions rather than empty words.

The night was dark and the wind was high; the water was as black as ink.

Several Jiang family retainers and a dozen guards, torches in hand, nervously patrolled the riverbank. Su Yu and Jiang Liuchuan sat on a stilted house not far away, drinking and observing the entire waterway.

"Splash—"

In the middle of the night, a very faint sound of water reached Su Yu's ears.

The sound was very soft, like a withered leaf falling into water. If Su Yu hadn't had exceptional hearing, he wouldn't have been able to distinguish it amidst the noisy wind and waves.

"Here it is." Su Yu put down his wine glass and said in a low voice.

Jiang Liuchuan was taken aback: "What's here?"

Before the words were finished, a loud shout suddenly came from the shore: "The strange fish is here!"

Suddenly, the water surface exploded, and a dark shadow, like a sharp arrow, broke through the iron wire vine net that the Jiang family was so proud of. The vines, as tough as steel wire, were instantly snapped as if they were made of paper!

"Such speed! Such power!" Jiang Liuchuan's expression changed drastically as he watched from above.

"Let's do it!"

Several worshippers on the shore hurriedly threw their fishing nets and javelins.

However, the strange fish was incredibly agile in the water. With a flick of its tail, it drew a strange arc in the water, easily dodging all the attacks.

"You bunch of useless trash! Get out of the way!"

With a sharp cry, Wang Xue leaped out from the shadows.

She had been preparing for a long time. She held three steel harpoons in her hands in a triangular shape, and with a burst of energy, she threw them out.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three streaks of cold light, like shooting stars chasing the moon, blocked all the strange fish's escape routes.

The strange fish was exceptionally cunning; it seemed to sense the harpoon flying down from the water's surface, and its tail suddenly lashed out.

He instantly darted several meters away to dodge!

However, Wang Xue's harpoon technique was indeed impressive. Two harpoons missed their mark, and the last one suddenly accelerated.

"puff!"

The harpoon grazed the side of the strange fish, spraying a cloud of blood.

"We've won!" Everyone was overjoyed.

However, the next second, the strange fish let out a strange cry in the water, which made people's eardrums bulge, the water waves rolled, and dozens of treasure fish in the water were startled and fled in all directions.

As if enraged, the strange fish bristled with scales and its speed increased by another 30% as it attacked the treasure fish.

"puff!"

Instantly, a precious fish died tragically, swallowed whole by the creature.

"Stop it!"

On the stilted house, Jiang Liuchuan was immediately anxious. His usual playful expression disappeared, and he shouted orders loudly.

"Damn it!"

Wang Xue was shocked. She hadn't expected that the strange fish could increase its speed. She quickly used the triple fish spear technique again.

However, the strange fish was moving incredibly fast, making it impossible to hit it.

The other worshippers were completely helpless, watching as the strange fish chased after the precious fish in the water, and it seemed that another precious fish was about to be harmed.

"It's all over—my pond full of precious fish!"

Jiang Liuchuan was heartbroken. So many precious fish had died, what a huge loss! His poor wives would have to cut back on their own food and clothing.

Just then.

A muffled and short whistling sound suddenly rang out from the direction of the stilted house.

Jiang Liuchuan felt a gust of wind brush past his ear. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Su Yu had stood up at some point, still in a throwing posture, his eyes as cold as knives.

A hundred feet away, on the surface of the water.

That ordinary iron spear, like a black lightning bolt, exploded on the water's surface with a bang, as if a vicious dragon had entered the water!

The strange fish in the water was startled and fled at top speed, but the black harpoon behind it carried a spiraling force that easily tore through the water, and it arrived first despite being behind.

"Pfft!"

A dull thud as flesh was pierced.

The iron spear pierced through the monster fish's back, penetrating its spine, and the immense kinetic energy caused its body to tumble several times in the water.

The next moment, Su Yu leaped directly down from the stilted building.

A person is in mid-air, and the air beneath their feet explodes.

"Bang!"

With a muffled blast, Su Yu landed on the water's surface.

But he did not sink. A slight ripple appeared on the water's surface. He moved across the water as if it were flat ground, leaving behind a series of dark afterimages. He was running at a speed faster than the strange fish!

Underwater, the strange fish, though severely injured, was not yet dead. It thrashed its tail wildly as it fled into the distance.

"Trying to run? Stay here!"

With a roar, Su Yu released the second steel harpoon that he had been holding in his hand.

This time, a specially made silk rope, about the thickness of a thumb, was tied to the butt of the gun.

"A cold glint of light tore through the night, swift as a startled swan."

With the combined power of sound perception and sensory perception, the harpoon precisely pierced the strange fish's thick skull, embedding itself deeply within the bone crevices.

"Get up!!!"

Suddenly, the water beneath Su Yu's feet exploded, his right arm turned bluish-black, his muscles bulged, and his veins sprang out as he yanked it backward.

"Splash!"

The once dark and calm surface of the Blackwater River seemed to have been torn apart by an invisible giant hand.

Amidst a spray of water, the ferocious fish, over ten feet long and weighing several thousand kilograms, was forcefully pulled from the water into the air by Su Yu's brute strength!

In the night sky, a clear, cold full moon hangs high in the sky.

The bright moonlight poured down, illuminating that astonishing scene:

Glistening water droplets slid off the strange fish's black scales, refracting glimmers of light in the moonlight. A monstrous fish with a head as big as a tiger twisted and struggled in the air, opening its massive mouth full of fangs and letting out a mournful hiss.

Below it, that incomparably handsome figure, reflected in the vast expanse of water, looked like a god!
