What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

on the square.

The howling sea breeze carelessly swept past everyone's gaze.

Where all eyes were focused, Liu Bo stood with his eyes closed, his chin twitching, displaying a blissful expression of enjoying the delicious food.

"According to the old saying, eating a dish made from Moon Shadow Flying Fish will cause a huge surge of Yuan Power to erupt from a martial artist's body."

Two whispers came from the crowd.

"We'll find out soon enough whether it's true or false!"

Under the expectant gaze of everyone.

one second.

two seconds.

Ten seconds passed.

Another gust of sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, swept across the square, rustling the packaging of the cheap plastic food container on the stone table.

Liu Bo stood still, opened his eyes, blinked, and reached out to touch his stomach.

"belch--"

He opened his mouth and let out a burp with a faint seafood smell.

Apart from that, there was nothing unusual.

There was no fluctuation of Yuan energy, nor any improvement in cultivation level.

It's as if he just ate a regular serving of sashimi.

The entire audience was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, it was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a boiling oil pan, and the entire square instantly erupted in chaos!

"I told you it was fake!"

A burly martial artist slapped his thigh and pointed at Liu Bo, laughing loudly.

"You think eating some lousy sashimi will increase your cultivation level? Dream on, you're dreaming of getting married!"

"Let's all go, let's all go. He's just a madman who came to the Qi family looking for death."

"This guy's dead meat. He dared to mess with Young Master Qi on the Qi family's territory in Haixinyan. He probably won't even have a whole corpse left."

On the high platform.

Xu Weizeng's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, suddenly fell back into his stomach.

He took a sudden step forward, his fat face trembling violently with excitement, and pointed at Liu Bo, cursing loudly.

"A mere child!"

"You dare to come to our Qi family's house and swindle people with just a piece of scrap fish that you don't even know where you got it from!"

Qi Min's face darkened completely, her eyes narrowed, revealing an undisguised murderous intent.

Even Liu Bo's own men standing behind him were stunned.

Rong Jing strode forward, nudged Liu Bo in the lower back with her elbow, and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Where's the fish? What happened to taking off from the spot?"

Luo Yurou also frowned, her Yuan energy quietly circulating as she warily watched the Qi family warriors gradually approaching from all sides.

At this moment, Liu Bo carefully sensed the changes within his body.

The moment the fish entered my stomach, there was no violent energy surge as I had imagined.

The icy blue Yuan energy, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, silently seeped into his limbs and bones, eventually converging into his Qi Sea.

He heard a faint, muffled sound coming from inside his body, a sound that only he could hear.

That bottleneck at the first level of the Flying Heaven Realm was like a thin sheet of paper, easily pierced.

Second level of the Flying Realm!

It's a breakthrough, that's right.

His cultivation level has truly risen a notch, and the speed and amount of Yuan energy circulating within his body have both reached a new level.

But when Liu Bo opened his eyes and looked down at his hands, the expression on his face was even worse than crying.

The effect of this sashimi—

Isn't it too plain and unadorned?!

Thinking back to the snack stalls at the resort, Qingshan ate more than a dozen skewers of dried mutton, which was quite a commotion.

His muscles swelled up, emitting a red glow, like a gangster standing in front of a foot massage parlor in an urban village, illuminated by light bulbs.

But what about yourself?

This plate of Moon Shadow Fish Sashimi costs a full one million credits in the resort system!

Although I was the first person to provide the ingredients and enjoyed a discount, I only spent 800,000 credits.

But that's 800,000 real money!

You pay to play, and they don't even give you any special effects or visual effects?!

Looking at the stares from those around him, as if they were looking at a dead man, Liu Bo took a deep breath.

"boom!"

Liu Bo no longer suppressed his emotions, and the Yuan energy within his dantian surged forth instantly.

A powerful aura belonging to the second level of the Flying Heaven Realm was released from his body without reservation, transforming into a tangible pressure that spread outwards.

The few martial artists who were watching the commotion closest to him were caught off guard and were pushed back by the shockwave, almost falling to the ground.

"You broke through?!"

Rong Jing and Luo Yurou immediately noticed the change in Liu Bo's aura. They both widened their eyes and turned to look at Liu Bo.

Liu Bo turned around, looked at his companion, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"A breakthrough has been achieved."

Liu Bo spread his hands and explained in a low voice.

"The effect of this sashimi is [Cultivation Leap], eating it can directly raise your cultivation level by one small realm in the Flying Heaven Realm."

"In addition, you will gain 72 hours of resistance to evil energy, but your cultivation speed will decrease by 10% each day for the next 30 days."

Upon hearing about this miraculous effect, Rong Jing and Luo Yurou both held their breath for a moment.

"but!"

Liu Bo's face fell as he pointed at the Qi family martial artists and onlookers around him, who were still mocking him and even had their weapons drawn.

"Who knew that after eating this, there wouldn't be any progress in breaking through to the next level?"

"If I were to loudly tell them that I was at the first level of the Flying Heaven Realm before eating this fish, and then became the second level afterward, do you think they would believe me?"

Rong Jing rolled her eyes in annoyance and gritted her teeth, saying, "I can't believe you!"

as predicted.

Qi Min, standing on the high platform, let out a cold snort.

"A mere second level of the Flying Heaven Realm, and this is the audacity you have to act so arrogantly at the Qi family?!"

Qi Min suddenly waved her hand, her voice icy cold.

"Take down these swindlers! Their lives are at stake!"

With Qi Min's command, the atmosphere around them instantly plummeted to freezing point.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of rapid sounds of weapons being drawn rang out.

The Qi family guards who had previously surrounded the four people drew their long swords in unison.

Powerful bursts of Yuan energy erupted from them, weaving into an invisible net that locked onto Liu Bo and his three companions at the center.

Rong Jing glanced at the surrounding guards, her hand reaching for the long whip at her waist, her expression turning serious.

There were sixteen guards in total, all of whom were at the Flying Realm!

No wonder they are a powerful family that can control all the Yuanling Ships in the Haixinyan area and dominate the region.

The encirclement continued to shrink, and more than a dozen long swords gleaming with cold light pressed closer step by step.

Luo Yurou's Yuan Power surged, and blazing spiritual flames began to appear on her combat suit.

"Looks like there's no way we'll miss this fight today."

"We'll figure out a solution for the ship issue after we've finished fighting!"

War is imminent.

At this critical moment.

"Hehehehe..."

A smirk came from Liu Bo's mouth.

Instead of drawing his weapon, he reached out and stopped his companion from attacking.

"What's the rush? What's the rush!"

"Girls who are always shouting and fighting are prone to getting wrinkles."

Liu Bo spoke slowly and deliberately, turning around to face Qi Min and Xu Weizeng on the platform.

He flipped his free left wrist and pulled out several items from his storage device.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Liu Bo placed three identical, low-quality, semi-transparent plastic food containers in a row on the stone table in front of him.

Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone in the room.

Liu Bo ripped off the red and white plastic bags and opened all three lids at the same time.

"hiss--"

Three identical streams of icy blue mist shot into the sky, their pure elemental energy instantly engulfing the entire plaza.

Thirty-odd slices of translucent Moon Shadow Fish sashimi lay quietly on three plastic platters, radiating an enticing sheen.

Liu Bo turned his head, raised his eyebrows at Luo Yurou and Rong Jing, and patted his chest as he spoke.

"Good brother, loyal to the end."

"Am I, Liu Bo, the kind of person who would eat alone?"

"One set has been prepared for each of you!"

As he spoke, Liu Bo winked at Luo Yurou and the others, giving them a "you guys are pretty good" look.

Liu Bo reached out and picked up two pairs of disposable chopsticks, placing them into Luo Yurou's and Rong Jing's hands respectively.

"These bumpkins don't believe it, do they?"

"You two eat right now, right in front of them!"

"If one person breaks through, they'll say they can't tell. Now, the three of you stand in a row and break through together right in front of them!"

"Just eat it and show them, then the problem will be solved, won't it?"

After saying that, Liu Bo picked up the last pair of chopsticks, turned around and walked towards Bai Suhuang, who had been standing at the back as if she were detached from the matter.

He handed over the chopsticks, while simultaneously extending his right hand, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together, and revealing a shrewd, businessman-like smile.

"Hey, that's Tour Guide Bai."

Liu Bo winked and said.

"You can have the food, but you'll have to pay for this portion!"

"Sincere and generous, 900,000 credit points, no credit allowed!"
