He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

Under the blazing sun, the reeds in the yellow sand dunes swayed in the wind.

An old awning boat glided gently across the water, and three young men were talking quietly on board.

"Lin-ge'er's fish-cooking skills are becoming more and more exquisite."

Chen Sanlang picked up a piece of fish from the casserole and put it in his mouth, then praised it.

"That's because you haven't eaten anything good."

Jiang Lin ignored Chen Sanlang's baseless flattery and continued, "You insisted on coming out with me today, and even brought Hanzi along, just to freeload on this fish meal?"

"Of course! It's been so long since I've had your fish. I've been craving it for ages, don't you think, silly?"

Liu Hanzi was so engrossed in eating the fish that he only gave a casual "hmm" when Chen Sanlang asked him a question.

In those days, the government levied exorbitant taxes and gangs squeezed every last drop of blood from the bones. Although they lived by the Yunmeng Marsh, they didn't always have fish to eat. Usually, when they caught fish, they had to sell them to earn money to support their families.

On a daily basis, the family only eats brown rice and wild vegetables, and at most, they can have some cheap small fish and shrimp on holidays.

Seeing that Liu Hanzi was not cooperating with him, Chen Sanlang pouted and was about to continue speaking when Jiang Lin raised his hand to stop him.

"Shh, be quiet."

Jiang Lin stepped out of the cabin and saw a dense mass of bubbles rising from beneath the yellow sand, stirring up the water and making the surface murky.

Jiang Lin quickly picked up the fishing net placed on the boat deck, then twisted his waist and used the force of his waist to throw the net out with both hands.

With a "whoosh," the fishing net entered the water, covering an extremely wide area.

The fishing net was then tightened, creating chaos underwater.

"Let me lend a hand."

Jiang Lin gave a low shout, and Liu Hanzi and Chen Sanlang rushed out of the cabin to help pull in the net.

As the fishing net was pulled away from the water, the pulling force suddenly decreased, followed by the sound of fish tails slapping the water.

As the saying goes, "one pound of fish requires four pounds of strength." Jiang Lin could guess from his touch that this net would yield at least thirty pounds of fish, meaning he had caught a fish in a swamp.

"Brother Lin, what good luck! You even managed to find a fish nest."

As the net was pulled into the boat, Liu Hanzi exclaimed in surprise.

"Good luck, good luck."

Jiang Lin also showed a happy expression. Although this net only contained ordinary grass carp, the large quantity made it worth a lot of copper coins.

"Come on, help me cut the fish."

Jiang Lin squatted down first, and the other two followed suit without hesitation.

"Lin-ge'er's fishing skills have improved, but..."

"Um?"

Jiang Lin looked at Chen Sanlang and knew that the kid was up to no good. His sudden request to go on a boat with him today must mean something was up.

Seeing Jiang Lin's expectant look, Chen Sanlang had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:

"I heard you say a while ago that you wanted to learn martial arts. Now that the gang is recruiting, I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn martial arts, so I came to ask you about it."

As Jiang Lin untangled the fish from the net, he pondered Chen Sanlang's words.

If it were the old him, he would have agreed without hesitation. But the current Jiang Lin is a completely different person; a transmigrated soul has replaced the original body.

It's not that Chen Sanlang has any bad intentions, it's just that Jiang Lin's knowledge and experience are now far beyond what the original owner of this body could have.

In this world, martial arts reign supreme, and the strong can destroy mountains and shatter peaks, achieving physical sainthood and enjoying long lifespans. As a transmigrator, he naturally has higher aspirations; otherwise, wouldn't all those online novels he read in his previous life have been for nothing?

Jiang Lin shook his head and rejected Chen Sanlang's suggestion. In fact, he already had a plan in mind. Joining a gang and learning some rudimentary martial arts was not his pursuit. With a thought, a panel that others could not see slowly unfolded in front of Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin

[Limit Break Point] 0 point (3% progress)

[Skill]: Fishing (Mastery 769/1000)

[Effects]: It can help you identify undercurrents, locate fish nests, cast nets, set traps, and catch fish five or six times out of ten.

Since transmigrating a year ago, Jiang Lin has carried this panel with him. After a year of exploration, apart from the limit-breaking points, he has finally figured out the basic characteristics of this panel.

The skill levels on the panel are divided into beginner, proficient, master, advanced, and perfect.

Furthermore, there are no bottlenecks or obstacles along the way. As long as he is willing to put in the effort and make an effort, there will be no threshold or bottleneck for him, and his hard work will surely bear fruit.

With this panel, Jiang Lin knew that if he could join the martial arts school and learn the orthodox martial arts tradition, he would definitely be able to change his destiny. Moreover, there was still that limit-breaking point that needed to be solved. Jiang Lin's intuition told him that that was the greatest opportunity.

Chen Sanlang was about to try to persuade him further, but was interrupted.

"Look, what's that?"

Liu Hanzi exclaimed in surprise and pointed deep into the swamp.

The Yunmeng Marsh stretches for three thousand miles, its vast expanse shrouded in mist and waves. Countless legends and tales have been passed down through the ages. Jiang Lin and his two companions have lived on the edge of this great marsh since childhood, so they are naturally very familiar with these tales.

The three were startled at first, then they realized what it was.

Two enormous treasure ships emerged slowly from the depths of the water.

The treasure ship was over thirty zhang long and floated on the water like a giant beast.

"It's the Dragon family's treasure ship."

Jiang Lin stared at the approaching ship, gritting his teeth inwardly. His own father had been employed by the Long family and died deep in the Yunmeng Marsh; his body had never been recovered.

The treasure ship slowly sailed over, passing through the deep waters in front of Huangshadang, and was no more than ten zhang away from Jiang Lin and his awning boat.

The large ship stirred up waves that caused the small boat to rock violently, but Jiang Lin and his two companions had no time to pay attention to them.

A terrifying scene was slowly unfolding before the three of them as the treasure ship passed by.

The Long family's treasure ship was different from ordinary ships. Its huge hull was covered with thick scales, which resembled fish scales, layered together and gleaming with a metallic luster.

The three knew that these were the skins of rare fish. As people who grew up by the water, they couldn't recognize all the species on the boat. The ones they did recognize were all known for their hard scales and strong defense.

As the treasure ship passed by, its entire hull was revealed to the three of them, covered with a dozen or so huge claw marks of varying lengths, some over a foot long and others nearly ten feet long.

Crimson blood covered the hull, and the broken armor and scales were a blur.

The treasure ship behind it was even more severely damaged, with its beast head on the bow smashed. It could only be towed by the ship in front, which explains why the two ships were moving so slowly.

A man dressed in black, form-fitting clothes stood at the bow of the ship. His powerful physique made the clothes bulge high, exuding an air of domineering arrogance. However, at this moment, the man's brows were furrowed, as if he was facing some insurmountable difficulty, causing even such a powerful figure to look troubled.

Only after the two large ships had sailed away did the three of them come to their senses.

"It's Long Tao, the eldest son of the Long family. I heard two years ago that he broke through to the Bone Forging Realm and is already a martial artist at the Third Refinement Realm."

Chen Sanlang murmured, finding it hard to believe that with such a powerful figure present, the fleet could have suffered such severe damage.

Something's happened.

"We need to get back to the village quickly; something terrible must have happened in Yunmengze."

Jiang Lin called out softly, and Liu Hanzi and Chen Sanlang also reacted and quickly tidied up together.

Jiang Lin then turned the boat around and quickly rowed towards the village.
