Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 553: Chapter 552 Feng Wenchuan

The little boy rowed the boat to a spot near the middle of the river, put down the oars, and sat at the edge of the boat, smiling, ”Big brother, uncle, the school of fish is about to return.”

Su Yang sat down by the side of the boat, but his mind was still on the drink he had just had.

The aftertaste of the liquor was still churning in his throat, and that icy, bone-chilling sensation made Su Yang feel refreshed and clear-headed.

Ordinary people would feel this way too, but Su Yang could sense something deeper. In the liquor, there was a faint concentration of Spiritual Energy, and it was this Spiritual Energy that created the cold sensation.

If there was Spiritual Energy within the homemade alcohol, it could only indicate one thing: the ingredients used to brew it contained Spiritual Energy.

But which ingredient could hold such Spiritual Energy?

Su Yang looked at the little boy and could tell that the boy was actually very wary of other people. He was unwilling to talk much about himself, so Su Yang didn’t ask him about it either. He wouldn’t make things difficult for a child.

Before long, other large ships also sailed over.

The people on those ships were all astounded by the scene. Particularly those on the ship Su Yang and the others had been on earlier, which just happened to sail right next to their sampan.

The boss of the ship looked over in astonishment, ”How did you get here?” he asked.

”Hey, how did they get here ahead of us?”

”His little sampan still has to be rowed with oars, yet it’s even faster than us?”

”This little guy is pretty capable, huh!”

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd while the little boy, looking proud, said loudly, ”I told you, I’d take them to the best spot, so of course we have to come faster!”

His words made many of the boat owners on the nearby vessels look embarrassed; being outdone by a child was a face-losing affair indeed.

Of course, there were also many tourists who became interested in the little boy. However, looking at his rudimentary sampan, many still scoffed—it was just too shabby!

”What are you so smug about? When the school of fish returns and the waves rise, let’s see if your boat can hold up!” the boss of a nearby ship said through gritted teeth, ”The water here is several meters deep. If you fall in, don’t expect me to rescue you!”

”You don’t need to worry about us; just take care of yourself!” the little boy retorted defiantly.

Everyone laughed while the ship boss’s face turned red with embarrassment. The boy’s retort displeased him greatly. If it weren’t for the crowd, he might have come over to teach the child a lesson.

Amidst the commotion, with the sound of a horn, a luxurious ship sailed over. This ship was far more magnificent than all the nearby ships, aglow with bright lights.

Seeing this big ship, the complexion of the nearby boat owners changed, and they steered their own ships aside, clearing a path for it to pass through.

The luxurious ship moved by slowly, with a group of elegantly dressed youths standing at the bow, their eyes looking down on all.

”This is a ship of the Seven Great Families...” Wang Feng leaned closer to Su Yang and whispered, ”Members of the Seven Great Families rarely come here for a boat trip. They must have some foreign friends or business partners to entertain, so they’re just showing them around.”

Su Yang slowly nodded, his gaze sweeping over the people on the big ship, with his focus settling on three individuals in particular.

Two men and one woman, both men around the age of twenty, dressed lavishly and exuding a strong presence; they were clearly no ordinary individuals.

However, what really caught the eye was the woman, approximately eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in white garments with a sheer white shawl draped over her. Her features were delicate, her eyes clear, her skin porcelain white as snow. The night breeze stirred her sheer shawl, which under the light of the lamps, made her resemble a celestial being of the moonlit night, captivating and stirring the souls of those who beheld her.

The two young men hovered at the woman’s side, and it was evident that there was animosity between them. This was only normal, since there was only one goddess and they both sought her favor, which naturally put them in competition with one another.

”Who is that woman?” Su Yang asked.

Wang Feng glanced over and shook his head, ”I don’t know her, she must be from out of town.”

”And what about the two youths beside her?” Su Yang asked.

”I don’t know one of them, but the other is from the Seven Great Families, the eldest young master of the Fong Family, Feng Wenchuan,” Wang Feng said. ”Among the young masters of the Seven Great Families, Feng Wenchuan is the most conspicuous and could be considered the top figure of this generation’s youth. Moreover, the Fong Family’s power is currently the strongest among the Seven Great Families.”

Su Yang nodded slowly, still watching when he suddenly felt a disturbance in his heart. Turning his head, he saw that the two men on the boat from earlier were also surreptitiously observing the woman on the large ship.

Su Yang furrowed his brow; those two men had been indifferent to everything going on around them until now. Why were they suddenly looking over here? Could it be that they were after this woman?

However, no matter what, this affair had nothing to do with him, so Su Yang didn’t pay it any further attention.

Before long, the river surface in the distance began to stir, and then, filled with excitement, someone called out, ”The fish wave is coming, the fish wave is coming!”

Su Yang looked up and saw the river surface in the distance, with waves rapidly advancing. Upon closer inspection, however, it was not actual waves, but fish leaping out of the water, creating sprays that formed the appearance of waves.

But because the speed of the fish wave was so fast, and the volume of water so great, it created a wave that pushed quickly from afar toward them.

This was Su Yang’s first time seeing such a spectacle, and he couldn’t help but be stunned. He stood in front of the covered boat, intently watching the rapidly advancing fish wave.

The others on the boat were even more ecstatic, standing at the bow and shouting excitedly.

However, it wasn’t long before people started feeling that something was off.

Because the fish wave’s speed kept increasing, and the waves grew larger and larger. With so many fish swarming forward, if they actually reached the boats, it would indeed be a terrifying sight.

”Everyone, get away from the edge of the boat! The boat will rock when the fish wave hits!” boatmen on various ships shouted, and the tourists all moved back. No one dared to linger outside anymore.

The fish wave reached them quickly, but when it got there, Su Yang was suddenly shocked to notice that the wave along their line was significantly smaller, as if there were far fewer fish.

Upon closer examination, Su Yang realized it was not that there were fewer fish along their line, but rather, there was a large rock just below the surface of the water, about half a meter high. Because of this rock, fewer fish passed this spot, making the wave here much weaker.

Su Yang looked at the small boy; the boy sat at the edge of the boat, not at all panicked. It was clear he was well aware of the situation here, which is why he had chosen this spot.
