Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Qinghe Deep Water Area.

The moonlight hangs high, its radiance spilling onto the Qinghe River.

Li Tianxing made two trips to the docks.

Headed to the fish market...

They had already sold all the fish on the boat.

He was a little puzzled when he didn't see his old friend Wang Li at the fish market.

It must be related to what Song Ming did to him.

At this moment, Li Tianxing was sitting alone in a small sampan, drifting on the desolate Qinghe River.

He looked up at the moonlight:

"The moon is so beautiful tonight..."

"Hopefully we can catch the Moon Pearl Sturgeon."

Li Tianxing's muscular upper body was bare.

He then jumped into the water.

He used his excellent swimming skills to observe the movements in the river.

Li Tianxing recalled the records about the Moon Pearl Sturgeon in his mind.

"The Moon Pearl Sturgeon is silvery-white and translucent."

Under the direct moonlight, it almost blends into the water.

As it swims, its scales refract moonlight, creating a fleeting silver streak.

Li Tianxing carefully observed the movements in Hanoi.

The moonlight flickered, and the river water varied in depth.

The complex terrain of Hanoi, including aquatic plants and scattered rocks...

It had no impact on Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing swam around in the Qinghe River.

He found no trace of the Moon Pearl Sturgeon, not even a shadow of it.

"This can't go on..."

They simply couldn't wait for the Moon Pearl Sturgeon.

Looks like I need to prepare a nest.

Li Tianxing boarded the small sampan.

They rowed the boat into the shallow water.

"With this bait, I believe the Moon Pearl Sturgeon will definitely come."

It's safer in shallow water.

What if we attract the river god...

That would make it easier for me to escape.

Li Tianxing opened the box containing the water monkey's hand.

He cut off a small section of his finger.

He then ground his fingers into powder.

Li Tianxing was worried that this amount of demon corpse powder wouldn't be enough, so he added two drops of his own blood.

"My blood can bring the corpse gu back to life, so it should also attract the treasure fish, right?!"

Li Tianxing scattered the bait into the water.

He then stood on the small sampan and observed the situation.

Before long, Li Tianxing noticed that the calm river surface began to ripple.

"Splash—"

The river surface suddenly rippled, creating waves that shimmered and sparkled in the moonlight.

Li Tianxing looked at it carefully.

"This is a large silver carp, and there are also golden carp and large spotted carp..."

"Holy crap! My bait is that potent?"

Li Tianxing never expected that his blood mixed with demon corpse powder would have such a strong effect. Fortunately, it was late at night!

If it were during the day, it would attract a large crowd.

Li Tianxing was stunned. Just by glancing at it, he saw seven or eight treasure fish gather around!

Keep in mind that this is a shallow area!

If I were to scatter this whole patch of bait in Danghun Bay, I reckon it would attract even the river god...

Without further hesitation, Li Tianxing picked up the fishing net and began casting it to catch fish.

"I've struck it rich today! This demon corpse powder is so useful... I should have asked Liu Hui for more!"

Li Tianxing is temporarily putting his mind off the Moon Pearl Sturgeon!

Let's catch these fish first and speed up our fishing progress!

First network, second network, third network...

Li Tianxing's fishing progress is increasing!

546……557……568.

Li Tianxing glanced back at the fish piled on the boat.

His eyes lit up!

"No, there are too many fish, the boat can hardly hold them all!"

I wonder if my army of Gu worms eats fish?

Thinking of this, Li Tianxing opened his small bamboo tube and released his army of Gu worms.

"Xiaoqing, quickly take them to eat, let them eat as much as they can!"

Li Tianxing carefully separated the precious fish...

They then left the ordinary fish on the boat.

This makes it easier for his army of Gu worms to have a good meal!

Suddenly, Li Tianxing's breathing quickened as he saw a silver streak swimming towards him from afar!

Moonbeam Pearl Sturgeon!

Li Tianxing held his breath and did not make any rash moves.

"The moment the Moonbeam Pearl Sturgeon gets a little closer to me will be my move!"

Li Tianxing squatted on the boat, watching the silver lightning that tore through the river.

The two sides are getting closer and closer!

Li Tianxing didn't wait any longer and jumped into the river!

"thump--"

The unusual tremors in the water instantly put the Moon Pearl Sturgeon on alert!

Suddenly, the silver line accelerated and quickly turned back!

"You think you can run away after eating my bait?"

"It's not that simple!"

Li Tianxing pushed off with both legs and quickly caught up!

A chase suddenly erupted on the riverbed, dappled with moonlight!

The Moon Pearl Sturgeon was very fast, but Li Tianxing was just as fast.

In just a few breaths, Li Tianxing arrived beside the Moon Pearl Sturgeon.

Li Tianxing reached out, intending to grab the tail of the Moon Pearl Sturgeon.

But the Moon Pearl Sturgeon is very agile!

With a sudden turn, a dazzling silver light burst forth from its body.

This silver light curtain is the Moonbeam Pearl Sturgeon's life-saving move, which can blind enemies!

But Li Tianxing didn't just rely on his eyes to catch fish; he also relied on his ears.

Li Tianxing closed his eyes, unmoved.

He reached out and touched the smooth tail of the Moon Pearl Sturgeon!

"I've been waiting for you today!"

Li Tianxing suddenly pulled with his big hand!

They pulled the struggling Moon Pearl Sturgeon back!

The Moon Pearl Sturgeon's body stiffened, and the silver light suddenly dimmed.

They instantly lost their vitality!

It knows...

Today, I am doomed.

After catching the Moon Pearl Sturgeon, Li Tianxing suddenly kicked his leg and leaped into the air.

Once on the river, we splashed around in the water several times before returning to the boat.

Li Tianxing quickly took out a fish basket and put the Moon Pearl Sturgeon inside, afraid that it would escape.

Xiao Qing, who was eating fish, sensed the presence of the Moon Pearl Sturgeon.

It circled around the Moon Pearl Sturgeon, as if it were eyeing a delicious feast.

"Go away, you can't eat this."

Li Tianxing flicked Xiaoqing lightly with his finger, sending it flying back.

"Moonlight Pearl Sturgeon, humph! I've finally caught you."

You still want to escape from me?

Even if you're a good swimmer, can you compare to me?

Li Tianxing looked at the listless Moon Pearl Sturgeon in the fish basket.

A surge of joy at victory welled up inside me...

Li Tianxing stood on the Qinghe River.

I felt a strange sense of warmth and familiarity!

His state of mind seemed to have undergone some kind of change...

At the same time, Li Tianxing's fishing panel has also evolved!

[Technique: Fishing (Mastery)]

Progress: (1/1200)

[Abilities: Accompanied by water, and guided by dragon energy.]

"My fishing skills have finally reached the master level!"

So, the next level after "Minor Success" is "Major Success"?

And I also gained two new abilities.

These are respectively accompanied by water transport and accompanied by dragon energy.

What are the main functions of these two abilities?

With a thought, Li Tianxing activated the Water Ripple Protection.

Layers of pale blue water ripples appeared on Li Tianxing's skin.

It's like a suit of armor that's partially hidden.

Previously, the Water Ripple Protection required the consumption of essence and blood to activate.

The strain on him is now minimal!

I believe that once Li Tianxing becomes even stronger...

He can then activate the Water Ripple Protection without taking any damage!

Li Tianxing turned his head and glanced at the Moon Pearl Sturgeon.

He discovered that the Moon Pearl Sturgeon had begun to jump violently inside the fish basket!

Li Tianxing actually sensed its fear and respect!

Li Tianxing focused his attention on the two abilities: Water Transport and Dragon Aura...

"Does 'accompanying me with water' mean my abilities in water will be greatly enhanced?"

Li Tianxing returned to Qingheli.

The moment it touched the river water...

The water ripples protecting his body immediately became stronger.

The water flow seemed to offer no resistance, lifting Li Tianxing up!

Moreover, his strength, speed, and reaction time have all been significantly improved!

The originally pitch-black riverbed now revealed a very clear color!

The most outrageous thing was the schools of fish surrounding the bait...

Upon seeing Li Tianxing, they all surprisingly abandoned their bait.

It actually started swimming around Li Tianxing in a regular pattern.

Just then, Li Tianxing felt a slight pain and itch on his forehead...

There was even a feeling of heat!

Li Tianxing touched his forehead and was surprised to find a cold scale on it!

This scale is small and rhomboid in shape.

It has a pale blue hue in the water.

Its color fluctuated with Li Tianxing's heartbeat, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, possessing a mysterious beauty!

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

I have a scale growing on my forehead?

Will it grow horns later on?!

Li Tianxing suddenly felt something...

"These fish are willing to forgo their delicious food and come to swim around me."

They're trying to please me; they're afraid of me!

The Moon Pearl Sturgeon was trembling violently in front of me just now because it was afraid of me!

Could this be a manifestation of the dragon's aura following its own?!

They are born with the ability to suppress water-type creatures!

Or perhaps it's because these fish are relatively weak that they were suppressed by my wisp of dragon energy.

When my fishing skills reach the next level.

"Won't it really grow horns and turn into a dragon?!"

Li Tianxing returned to the small sampan, took out a fishing net, and cast it downwards.

He caught a net full of fish and checked his progress!

[Technique: Fishing (Mastery)]

Progress: (1/1200)

[Abilities: Accompanied by water, and guided by dragon energy.]

"Hmm... this net didn't increase the progress at all."

It seems that ordinary fish can no longer help me.

Even ordinary fish can increase my progress...

It would probably take ten or even twenty more networks to increase it even a little, and it would become slower and more difficult as time went on.

Even if Baoyu provides me with much help in the future, it won't be much more effective.

Looks like I'll have to take my time fishing from now on!

If all else fails, should I try to capture some river spirits?

Li Tianxing successively obtained the demon souls of the cat demon and the water monkey.

Through these two demons, he became convinced that there are many more demons in this world!

And it's impossible that the water monkey is the only kind of monster in the water.

There's even a legendary river god associated with the Qinghe River.

Thinking about this, Li Tianxing had another guess.

"The River God of Qinghe suddenly appeared a few years ago..."

Could it be because it devoured the monsters in the Qinghe River?

Could this have led to his growing power, ultimately making him the so-called River God of the Green River?

Li Tianxing felt that this was very likely.

Li Tianxing retrieved all of his Heart-Eating Gu.

He discovered that these Heart-Eating Gu were quite voracious, having devoured almost all the fish on the boat.

Li Tianxing put all the precious fish into the fish basket.

Then they rowed a small sampan toward Qinghe Wharf...

"Today was very fruitful. We not only caught the Moon Pearl Sturgeon, but also completed our collaboration with Xu Xinyue."

They also perfected their fishing techniques!

This is the first technique I've mastered!

Li Tianxing touched his forehead again.

He felt that his mind was clear and his head was lucid.

It was as if it had been cleansed by some kind of force!

The blue scale between his eyebrows flashed briefly before disappearing back into his skin.

Outsiders wouldn't be able to tell at all!

"I don't know the specific function of these scales yet."

But it makes my mind exceptionally clear, almost like it enhances my mental strength!

But Li Tianxing himself didn't notice...

At this moment, there was a faint but powerful aura emanating from him!

This "momentum" is inexplicable and inexplicable...

That is the potential and fortune to dominate a region and create a new era!
