God of Fishing

Chapter 471 The Inferior Man-Fish Again

Han Fei was astounded that Xia Xiaochan’s perception range had been increased to 1,900 meters.

The number was completely beyond his expectation. Based on Cao Qiu’s theory, Xia Xiaochan’s perception range should’ve been expanded to 1,200 meters at best. Where was the additional seven hundred meters from? Did Xia Xiaochan have a cultivation technique similar to the God Scaring Painting?

However, since Xia Xiaochan was close to him, he didn’t have to explain everything to her. He simply said that he was talented and got it over with. After all, she would only stab him if she was angry, and he was already used to that.

Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan spent the next three days on the 201st floor.

Xia Xiaochan had around fifty spiritual fruits during the three days and made the breakthrough from an intermediate Dangling Fisher to an advanced Dangling Fisher.

Because he was wealthy now, Han Fei even made offerings twice and summoned sea creatures for Xia Xiaochan to exercise and solidify her foundation.

As he expected, he didn’t summon any Demon Shattering Vines again, but he did summon two level-39 exotic crabs and octopus. The octopus, in particular, were as strong as the freakish octopus he met before. Smart and talented, they were quite a surprise for Han Fei.

Han Fei took more than fifty spiritual fruits himself. He had attempted a breakthrough, but it didn’t succeed due to an accident. However, his stats had changed.

Han Fei

36 (Intermediate Dangling Fisher) 1,938,356 (5,086) Level Five, High-Quality

Twin Yin-Yang Spirit Swallowing Fish (level 30)

Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers, Water Dividing Seal, the Blood Drinking Knife

Void Breaking Technique, Volume Four of Void Fishing (Demon-Level, Divine-Quality)

The upper limit of his spiritual energy had only been increased by no more than a hundred points, but it was an improvement anyway, and it meant that there was still room of growth for him. He intended to wait for a few more days until the upper limit of his spiritual energy no longer changed before he made a breakthrough. By then, he would definitely become one of the strongest advanced Dangling Fishers.

On this day…

Xia Xiaochan said, “Okay, I’m done with the consolidation. I need to continue the consolidation with real battles later. Why didn’t you make a breakthrough, though?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “Do you think that everybody can make a breakthrough whenever they want to like you?”

Suddenly, Han Fei asked, “Right, what’s the upper limit of your spiritual energy?”

Xia Xiaochan closed her eyes and sensed it. “4,499 points. It’s very high, isn’t it? What about yours?”

Han Fei cackled and said, “Mine is slightly lower than yours.”

Xia Xiaochan smiled proudly, glad that she had finally surpassed him. She didn’t bother to ask him what his upper limit was exactly.

However, Xia Xiaochan didn’t notice that Han Fei slightly frowned, as 4,499 points of spiritual energy, which could be rounded up to 4,500 points, was much bigger than that of a regular level-37 Dangling Fisher.

The regular ones could only have about three thousand points usually, and the number couldn’t be higher than 3,500 even if they tried their best. However, Xia Xiaochan had both a greater perception range and a higher upper limit of spiritual energy than regular people. Also, Xia Xiaochan’s body was as hard as that of a peak-level Dangling Fisher.

Han Fei thought to himself that Xia Xiaochan probably had secrets that even she wasn’t aware of.

Han Fei shrugged. “Let’s go to the next level. If my guess is correct, the difficulty for the floors coming up will increase. Now, it cost a great deal to perform one sacrificial ritual, so let’s not waste anything unless it’s necessary.” Xia Xiaochan was confused. “But we have a lot of money, don’t we?” Han Fei smiled. “What if it gets too costly? Besides, we may need to use the money in the future! Don’t forget that we have to explore the unknown worlds out of the level-three fishery too.”

The next few floors were exactly like Han Fei expected. They barely ran into anybody else.

Han Fei made a rule with Xia Xiaochan: after they reached a new floor, instead of making offerings immediately, they would swim to the edge of the platform and then move along the edge. In such a way, Han Fei could reunite with Xia Xiaochan quickly even without Little White leading the way.

After all, the Steps into the Sea had been greatly narrowed down in these floors. By doing so, they wouldn’t have to swim aimlessly, and their time could be saved.

All Han Fei needed to do was to let Little White determin Xia Xiaochan’s direction after he reached the edge. Then, he would swim to the opposite direction, and he would soon find Xia Xiaochan.

Just like that, until the 207th floor, they had met nothing more than an amalgam of level-39 exotic creatures.

Things changed on the 208th floor.

It was also the place where Cao Tian stopped in his first trip according to Cao Qiu.

At this moment, Han Fei was swimming towards Xia Xiaochan at the periphery of the 208th floor.

They met each other after only ten minutes.

“Did you encounter anyone?”

Xia Xiaochan shook her head. “No.”

Then, they each took out a Sea Swallowing Seashell and began to make offerings.

Maybe because they had filled up the Sea Swallowing Seashells earlier, each Sea Swallowing Seashell they took out randomly at this moment was enough to make offerings several times, even though every ritual here cost more than two million points of spiritual energy.

Noticing that the water was trembling, both of them recalled their Sea Swallowing Seashells.

Why would Han Fei make offerings together with Xia Xiaochan instead of doing it in turns? In fact, it was just an exercise for them, because the creatures summoned when they made offerings together were harder to deal with.

To be honest, their real purpose in the level-three fishery was to gain experience. If they were to fight their enemies together, they probably could make it to the 250th level without meeting any obstacles.

However, at this moment, they had agreed that they would fight their enemies alone and only team up when the enemy was too strong.

This time, a fish head suddenly emerged in the water and looked around. Then, a webbed claw extended out.

Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan looked at each other in shock. “An Inferior Man-Fish?”

Xia Xiaochan said in a stunned voice, “Both of them are these hideous monsters?”

Hanging Fisher was stunned too. “They’re Inferior Man-Fish at the level of Dangling Fishers.”

Han Fei glanced at them and realized that the two Inferior Man-Fish were both level-40 and had their Associated Spirits.

He became very solemn. “Note that they have spiritual beasts too. We must treat them as intelligent creatures.” When the two Inferior Man-Fish came out, they were absolutely confused, as if they didn’t know where they were at all.

“Hualala…”

The Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers were all unleashed from Han Fei’s body, and spiritual energy was surging out of the needle in his hand. He had fought and killed multiple Inferior Man-Fish that were higher than level-40 in the Heavenly Desolate City before.

At this moment, when the Inferior Man-Fish charged at him with its harpoon, Han Fei immediately performed the Drawing Technique.

While the Inferior Man-Fish wasn’t too smart, it had fast reactions. The moment Han Fei drew his knife, a blue fish that was in symbiosis with the Inferior Man-Fish bit Han Fei.

However, half of the fish head was cut off after Han Fei’s knife flashed.

“Hualala…”

Seeing that its Associated Spirit was dead, the Inferior Man-Fish went crazy and charged at Han Fei fearlessly with its harpoon enveloped in a massive amount of spiritual energy.

Han Fei sneered. If one attack can’t kill you, let’s see if you can survive two.

“Shua…”

The knife landed, and the Inferior Man-Fish died.

After killing the Inferior Man-Fish, Han Fei looked at Xia Xiaochan and saw that she was on the winning side and didn’t need any help.

But Han Fei was slightly confused, as a level-40 Inferior Man-Fish wasn’t exactly strong. At least, both Yang Deyu and Sun Mu could’ve executed the Inferior Man-Fish easily. Then, why was Cao Tian the only person who made it to the 208th floor?

Was it because the offerings were too expensive here?

No. Han Fei shook his head. None of those people were short of money. Why would they not come here?If they could kill an Inferior Man-Fish, the only reason they stayed on the 200th floor would be that it was more rewarding to stay there than to fight on. Remembering the Soul Crystals he looted, Han Fei realized something. Did those jerks stay on the 200th floor to acquire more Soul Crystals?

While Han Fei was considering this, Xia Xiaochan had already killed the Inferior Man-Fish and grabbed its harpoon. She patted Han Fei and said, “Look, I’m only given a harpoon.”

Han Fei nodded at Xia Xiaochan. “Look, I’m not any better than you. It’s just a mid-quality spiritual weapon, not even as good as your harpoon.”

Xia Xiaochan asked, “Do we go to the next level?”

Han Fei said, “Wait a moment. I want to summon it again.” Xia Xiaochan: “???” A moment later, another Inferior Man-Fish was killed by Han Fei. This time, the Steps into the Sea gave Han Fei a fish scale.

Han Fei examined it for a while and found that it was as good as a high-quality spiritual weapon, so he simply tossed it into Forge the Universe.

Han Fei clicked his tongue. “Xia Xiaochan, maybe we won’t see regular sea creatures anymore if we go further down. If my guess is correct, they must be all stronger than the Inferior Man-Fish.”

Xia Xiaochan was too lazy to think about it. She simply said, “You could’ve found out if you had gone to the next level directly. The offerings you made the second time were such a waste…” “Well…”
