Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 652: Chapter 259: The Ever-Growing Water Beast, SSS-level Earth Heaven Technique

”What kind of omen is this?”

The sudden disappearance of the water beast left Yi Tian puzzled.

He could tell that this gray gas was the same as the gray at the bottom of the lake.

”The Lord has defeated the water beast. The water beast will remain dormant for one hour. Its source will sink to the bottom of the lake. In the coming hour, the Lord’s probability of fishing Celestial Dao Fish will increase!”

”The next water beast to appear will be even stronger!”

The voice of the Celestial Dao Stone echoed in Yi Tian’s mind.

Yi Tian understood what was going on!

This Celestial Dao Misfortune has its pros and cons.

If your strength isn’t enough, you might only have a few hours left in the end.

Once the water beast is strengthened several times, some Lords won’t be able to defeat it no matter how much strength their territories muster.

It’s possible some Lords may die!

Lords have to face not just the water beast, but also harsh environmental threats.

One hour—neither too long nor too short.

Fishing, of course, means you have to go deep. Yi Tian was a hundred percent sure: you can’t fish Celestial Dao Fish from the shore.

Because Second Child told Yi Tian that there wasn’t any gray gas by the shore.

Only about thirty meters away from the shore did the gray gas appear.

All the Celestial Dao Fish hide inside the gray gas.

Now that the water beast has smashed the ice, even with a temperature of minus 75°C, it won’t freeze over again for a while.

This brings up another issue—not every Lord has Water Mastery LV.10 or a boat.

Within Yi Tian’s territory, not counting warships and tower ships, there were twenty Silver Assault Boats, a hundred Bronze Assault Boats, plus a micro-speedboat that originally belonged to the Rose Sisters.

Lords selling small wooden boats are going to strike it rich.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

Lords can use planks to build a raft—it just takes time.

”Kids, you guys stay by the shore and warm yourselves by the fire! Daddy’s going out on the lake to fish!” Yi Tian said to the Little Kiddo girls, then lit a big fire by the shore.

”Okay!”

The Calabash Sisters responded in unison.

Then giggled as they gathered around the fire.

Yi Tian took a deep breath, merged into the Water Realm, and stepped out onto the lake’s surface.

As if weightless, Yi Tian floated lightly atop the water.

Every step made only a ripple on the surface.

With Water Mastery LV.10, he could borrow the power of the rules—even just a sliver.

Yi Tian went back to his original ice fishing spot, baited the hook with S-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and cast his line.

Five minutes later...

”Plop!”

The float dropped to the bottom, and Yi Tian yanked it up.

Spirit Celestial Dao Fish. Spiritual Power +4.

Yi Tian tossed the Spirit Celestial Dao Fish to the shore, and Third Child jumped up to catch it, then threw it into a big iron bucket.

Before long, another fish was hooked.

Luck was good—another Spirit Celestial Dao Fish.

For other Lords, spiritual power wasn’t as important as three-dimensional stats.

But for Yi Tian, spiritual power was more significant than three-dimensional stats—even more valuable than spiritual energy.

”Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, do you know how many times you need to enhance after catching an S-level Celestial Dao Fish to handle an S-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasure Celestial Dao Fish?” Yi Tian asked Purple Phoenix Moon Dance while fishing.

He knew Purple Phoenix Moon Dance had a source for information and was always researching strategies for this event.

Top-level races could experiment freely—they had abilities ordinary regional Lords couldn’t dream of.

”I’m also fishing S-level Celestial Dao Fish right now—already caught seven. From the chatroom, I heard that a Lord of the Dragon Race, with a high-quality fishing rod, could handle B-level Celestial Dao Fish right from the start (Note: this level refers to the fish, not the Lord’s power; same below). Before the water beast appeared, he had already caught twenty S-level Celestial Dao Fish. When he tried for an S-level Celestial Dao Fish, his rod snapped and the line broke.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance wasn’t entirely sure, so she could only share what she knew with Yi Tian.

Also, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance asked Yi Tian, ”How many S-level Celestial Dao Fish have you caught?”

”Over twenty S-level Celestial Dao Fish!”

Yi Tian replied to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

He wasn’t surprised there were others as fast as him. Excluding the big three hazards, there were definitely plenty of Lords who had gotten high-quality fishing rods early.

With normal fishing, a high-quality fishing rod could wrestle with fish weighing over a hundred jin—not easy to break!

Luckily, that Dragon Race Lord was quick; otherwise, Yi Tian would’ve already been trying for an S-level Celestial Dao Fish.

”Impressive! You’re always a step ahead no matter what you do,” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance praised.

”Did that Dragon Race Lord actually wrestle with an S-level Celestial Dao Fish?” Yi Tian thought of this and asked her for details.

This was a critical point.

If they did wrestle, but then the rod snapped and the line broke, strengthening the rod’s toughness and the line might work.

”There was no wrestling, it was gone in a flash! Also, I heard about another rod-snapping incident. A Lord used an S-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasure to fish for an S-level Celestial Dao Fish, felt a sharp pain in the head, and got dragged into the ice cave. Took several gulps of water before climbing out—they suspected they were hit by spiritual attack power; S-level or higher Celestial Dao Fish might attack Lords directly,” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance relayed the incident to Yi Tian.

”Alright! Stay in touch—let me know if you hear any updates! Oh, and by the way, the Celestial Dao Fish can evolve by eating Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. If you’ve got any unused, cheap Spirit Flowers or Spirit Herbs, feed them to the fish to help them grow. After this Celestial Dao Fish event, Lords will enjoy a huge power-up.”

Yi Tian reminded Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

This round of Celestial Dao Fortune was bound to help some people raise their spiritual power or even spirit by two or three hundred points.

Plus five Celestial Dao Treasure Chests!

Lords’ power would explode in a big leap.

After this opportunity passes, Yi Tian will use the Qiongqi Bloodline Summoning Gate.

”Didn’t know you could do that—got it!”

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance hadn’t even started feeding the Celestial Dao Fish yet!
