A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

"Wow, Lao Gu, you feel the weight of two hundred pounds. Watch me fly it."

Ye Xuan grinned, gripped the rod with his right hand, and placed his left hand on the reel.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and my chest swelled up.

The air around him seemed to distort for a moment, and an invisible, scorching heat emanated from his body.

"Hoo... Breath of Fire, First Fishing, Fire Cast Three Times."

Ye Xuan murmured to himself.

The next moment, Ye Xuan flicked his wrist, and the entire fishing rod bent into a full moon with a "hum," followed by three consecutive jerks.

The fishing line taut, emitting a piercing whistling sound.

"They're here!"

Ye Xuan's arm muscles bulged, and veins bulged under his skin. With a kick, he raised his arms sharply.

Force over force, violent and direct.

A giant carp burst out of the water, its bluish-gray and golden scales reflecting the sunlight, its tail whipping out an arc of water in mid-air.

The fish weighed around two hundred pounds and was swung ashore by Ye Xuan with superhuman strength.

It slammed to the ground with a "bang".

The entire place was silent.

Holy crap!

"Fly...fly up here?!"

"Two hundred pounds?! Is that even human?!"

Chen Zilu reacted quickly, grabbed her phone, and ran over, shoving the camera at the still-throwing carp. "Family, a 200-pound carp! It flew right onto the shore!"

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments.

"?"

"??"

"???"

"???..."

Question marks flooded the screen, followed by a string of questions.

[How is this possible? Is this still the power that humans possess? How is this possible?]

[Special effects, I guess...]

Gu Shang, not to be outdone, adjusted his breathing, braced himself with his feet on the ground, and lowered his shoulders and elbows.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura spread outwards from him.

"The breath of earth, the first fishing line, as immovable as a mountain."

Grip the rod handle, lower your waist, raise your breath from your dantian to your chest, and then press down on your arms.

With a tap of the rod tip, it immediately bends into a giant bow.

The fishing line buzzed, and a huge whirlpool rose on the surface of the water.

"Get up!!!"

A bluish-black grass carp was lifted inch by inch from the water, its scales gleaming coldly like iron in the sunlight.

The fish, weighing around 150 pounds, was held firmly in mid-air by Gu Shang. Its tail was too weak to move, but he managed to lift it with a fishing rod and fling it back to the shore.

"My God, what am I seeing?! Is this even human power?!"

"A hundred-pound behemoth, just hoisted up like that?"

"Is it that amazing?"

Zhao Hua, who watched the whole thing, almost dropped his phone.

The camera repeatedly switches between wide shots, close-ups, and extreme close-ups.

The grass carp and common carp were splashing on the ground, their gills opening and closing, their eyes moving.

Then, pointing the camera at his own face, he rambled on, "Family, this is all real! This reservoir is full of huge things..."

The chat exploded in his live stream.

Are those two even human? Brother Hua, say something!

[Whether you're human or not doesn't matter anymore, everyone look, Brother Hua, your face has turned white!]

[Haha, the streamer messed up this time.]

[I want to experience fishing for giant fish weighing over 100 pounds! Here I come from the giant fish fishing spot!]

……

Then gifts rained down. Zhao Hua took a deep breath and turned the camera back to the two men: "Thank you for the gifts, family. I reiterate that this giant fishing spot is not falsely advertised; there really are giant fish weighing thousands of kilograms."

……

Yang Qi, on the other side, was also unsettled. He saw what happened when the fish was caught.

Both Gu Shang and Ye Xuan possessed an aura, which he discovered was visible only to him.

Gu Shang's aura was as deep and solid as the earth, while Ye Xuan's aura was as fiery as flames.

Wow, that's amazing...

Yang Qi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement:

It's all about Qi again. It seems there really are secrets in this world that ordinary people don't know or can't access.

Or, we could find an opportunity to ask.

I had a fleeting thought of finding an opportunity to approach and strike up a conversation, but then I reconsidered.

He realized that he wasn't very close to them, and that this was a secret that an ordinary person like him could not possibly know.

I would never tell you easily.

Staring at the fishing rods in the two men's hands, a question suddenly arose in my mind:

They were just using fishing techniques, fishing techniques, fishing techniques...

Why is it that I've mastered the basic fishing luck techniques, but lack fishing skills?

Why? Does this mean I have to figure it out myself?

The more Yang Qi thought about it, the more it itched in his heart, but ultimately he couldn't come up with any ideas.

Yang Qi shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, leaned on the table, closed his eyes, and dozed off for a while.

On the shore, Ye Xuan patted the fish scales off his hands, turned to Gu Shang and smiled:

"Old Gu, your 'Immovable as a Mountain' technique has improved again. You're picking up a 150-pound grass carp like it's nothing."

Gu Shang bent down to untangle the fishing hook and said, "Has the helicopter been handed over? There's nowhere to store fish here."

"No, we're already very eye-catching. If we call a helicopter, we'll be trending on social media for at least ten days to two weeks."

Ye Xuan joked, "Don't forget who helped you get out of the spotlight last time you were trending."

Can……

Gu Shang raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the entire reservoir, where pairs of excited and curious eyes were fixed on this direction.

He frowned, thinking about buying the reservoir. It was so noisy; he wished the reservoir were his.

"It's too hot; the fish won't survive long."

Gu Shang raised his head, looked at Ye Xuan, and said anxiously in a low voice, "Xuanzi..."

"Dragon-shaped koi only eat live prey."

Gu Shang emphasized the word "only," his gaze fixed intently on Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan saw a rare hint of anxiety, even a pleading look, in Gu Shang's eyes, which were usually as calm as a deep pool.

Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then grinned, took a few steps over, and put his arm around Gu Shang's shoulder, teasingly saying:

"Hey, Lao Gu, you actually look at me like that now?"

Gu Shang shook off his hand: "Stop talking nonsense."

"Sigh, what can we do? We're buddies." Ye Xuan stopped joking and pulled his phone out of his pocket. "No plane tickets, but I have a car."

Seeing the other party's confident assertion, clearly indicating they had prepared in advance, Gu Shang stammered, "You..."

"Touched, aren't you? Hahaha!"

Ye Xuan turned on the screen. "Don't get excited. The plane is too conspicuous. I prepared a backup plan beforehand, a super-large fish-hauling truck with an oxygen pump, which has been waiting at the foot of the mountain."

He dialed the number and it was answered.

"Hey, you can drive up now."

"Yes, Mr. Ye."

Just then, the reporter, Zhong Yi, mustered her courage and walked up to the two people.

"Hello, gentlemen. I'm Zhong Yi, a reporter from our platform. May I interview you? The footage of you catching that big fish was truly amazing..."

"Not interested, get out of here." Gu Shang said coldly without even looking up.

Zhong Yi's smile froze for half a second, the microphone hovering in mid-air, unsure whether to put it down or put it back.

Ye Xuan glanced at Gu Shang's aloof profile, then at the blushing girl in front of him, and coughed lightly:

Hey, Gu, that little girl...

Gu Shang slowly turned his head, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Ye Xuan's face.

That gaze wasn't fierce or angry, but it didn't look good to Ye Xuan.

He swallowed back the words he was about to say, touched his nose, and waved to Zhongyi, saying:

"I'm sorry, we...we don't like being on TV. You should ask someone else."

Zhong Yi bit her lower lip, somewhat disappointed: "Okay... fine."

Despite her disappointment, today's gains far exceeded her expectations.

Hundred-pound fish are everywhere, a thousand-pound giant freshwater creature appears, two people use their strength to subdue the giant creature, and so on.

Soon, a modified heavy-duty fish-hauling truck drove up, with four huge stainless steel water tanks embedded in its cargo bed.

The container walls were covered with oxygenation tubes. The driver poked half his face out, and Chong Yexuan gave him an "OK" sign.

Ye Xuan waved his hand, and the driver stopped the car at the reservoir entrance, jumped out, and opened the back door.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people came down and together dragged the two 100-pound fish from the shore: one was a bluish-gray carp, and the other was a bluish-black grass carp.

Once placed in the water tank and exposed to oxygenated water, it immediately flicked its tail, and the opening and closing of its gill covers resumed their rhythm.

"Take good care of him, don't torture him to death."

Gu Shang stared at the fish in the tank for a while, and only after confirming that they were normal did he straighten up and return to his fishing spot.
