Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1768 - 1750: Want to Leave Without Passing?
Only Qin Kun and Wu Shan remained still, their eyes on Fang Yan, noticing the smile on Fang Yan’s lips. They knew Fang Yan must have a solution, so they weren’t anxious and watched Fang Yan slowly walk away, then followed him.
Just after walking out of the Divine Sword Pavilion, and seeing no one around, Qin Kun and Wu Shan couldn’t hold back and asked Lin Feng.
"Boss, why are you smiling?"
"Yeah, tell us!"
The two looked at Fang Yan, very eager to know what Fang Yan was thinking. Everyone else looked upset upon hearing the news, yet Fang Yan smiled, which indicated something was amiss.
"I was thinking about past events." Fang Yan looked at the two, smilingly saying, prior to coming to the Immortal Realm, his true self led him through such experiences, so he was very familiar with this. Unexpectedly, he encountered similar things upon arriving here.
After speaking, seeing the two still puzzled, he thought for a moment and said to them, "Actually, one can cultivate underwater, though there is a method to it. The specific method is like this..."
Fang Yan explained the benefits of underwater cultivation to the two, which instantly made their eyes widen with surprise. Cultivating underwater was unheard of, yet Fang Yan had a complete method. They thought, ’How does Boss know everything? They’ve never heard of such a cultivation method before. It’s truly incredible!’
But after contemplating a bit, they quickly understood the advantages of underwater cultivation Fang Yan mentioned, and their eyes shone brightly with anticipation. Without waiting for Fang Yan, they rushed towards the distant big river and disappeared on the river surface in an instant.
"Those two guys."
Watching this scene, Fang Yan chuckled and did not hurry to enter the river, instead walking upstream along the river...
In no time, the sun was about to set, and Hu Yi stood on the training ground, looking at the twenty or so people before him, standing with a blank expression and closed eyes.
"Did you catch one?"
"Ugh, it wore me out. I barely caught one!"
"I didn’t catch any, what do I do..."
"There’s nothing to be done; catching fish in the water is too difficult!"
...
As much joy as there was sorrow, catching fish in the river was so challenging. Most of them were utterly exhausted yet managed to catch only a fish three feet long. Some had exerted all their effort but caught only two feet long ones, greatly frustrated with situations breaking the usual pattern, leaving them helpless.
The sky grew darker, and three people returned soaking wet, with terrible expressions, undoubtedly without catching anything. At this moment, almost everyone gazed into the distance, as three people staggered over from afar; it was Fang Yan and his companions, but mysteriously, their clothes were dry as if they hadn’t entered the water at all! What was the situation? Did they not go underwater? Otherwise, how were their clothes still dry?
Seeing everyone had returned, Hu Yi immediately instructed everyone to show the caught fish. He didn’t have to think to know they certainly all had Space Bags. Upon hearing Hu Yi’s command, everyone put out the caught fish, throwing them in front.
Excluding Lin Feng and the others, six people’s fish were merely two feet long, not qualified. Confronted with such outcomes, those six looked extremely ugly, unexpectedly among them was Fang Zheng, whose face turned frightful upon meeting everyone’s gaze.
Then Qin Kun and Wu Shan threw out a large fish over three feet long each, leaving only Fang Yan. Observing Fang Yan’s calm demeanor, Fang Zheng felt intensely irritated, blurting without thought, "Fang Yan, still not bringing out a fish, could it be you didn’t go underwater to catch fish at all?"
His mind was fixated; he felt disgraced and wanted to take Fang Yan down too. Moreover, seeing Fang Yan entirely dry, clearly without entering the water, Fang Yan claiming to have fish seemed unbelievable.
For a moment, almost everyone shifted their gaze to Fang Zheng, none expecting him to say such a thing at this time, questioning whether this guy was a fool. Members of the same family, how could they undermine each other?
"Who said I didn’t catch fish, with your two-foot little fish, boasting before me?" Fang Yan looked at Fang Zheng who jumped out, speaking lightly with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. He increasingly despised Fang Zheng; if it weren’t forbidden to fight within the Sect, he’d want to strangle this fool.
But Fang Zheng’s intellect had seemingly turned to zero, failing to discern Fang Yan’s meaning. More infuriated now being called ’small fish,’ he wanted to see what Fang Yan caught, promptly saying to Fang Yan, "Calling mine ’small fish,’ alright then, I want to see what big fish you caught, show it, let us all see; don’t pull out a half-foot long small fish and make a joke. Clothes remain dry, what fish could you catch, laughable!"
Hearing Fang Zheng say this, Fang Yan burst into laughter, and not just Fang Yan, Qin Kun and Wu Shan couldn’t hold back, clutching their stomachs laughing, thinking, ’Is this guy crazy? He couldn’t catch a big fish, so he claims Boss couldn’t either. Has his brain been soaked?’
Watching Fang Zheng, Fang Yan felt speechless, initially wanting to tease Fang Zheng but losing interest now, saying to Fang Zheng, "Joke, then let’s see who the real joke is."
After saying that, Fang Yan waved his hand, and immediately a gigantic fish, seven feet long, appeared on the ground. What was even more incredible was that the fish was still alive, flopping around on the ground, undoubtedly just freshly caught from the water!
How is this possible!
How could he catch such a big fish!
Are there fish this big in the river!
...
In an instant, everyone present was dumbstruck. After all, the largest fish any of them had caught was just over three feet, barely reaching four feet, yet Lin Feng’s fish was double that size. They thought how is this possible, how did he manage this, how could there be such a large fish in that river!
Moreover, the fish was clearly fresh from the water, making it even more incredible, considering Fang Yan’s clothes weren’t even wet. What was going on? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"How about it, my fish is small right? Much smaller than yours, isn’t it?" Fang Yan looked at Fang Zheng, smiling as he spoke.
"You... you..." Fang Zheng stared at Fang Yan, momentarily at a loss for words, his mind roaring. What the hell is all this? He had just mocked Fang Yan for not catching any fish, and that even if he did, they’d be small ones. Yet, Fang Yan pulled out a seven-foot-long fish, this was such a slap in the face, why did he step in earlier!
Face red with embarrassment, Fang Zheng felt the scornful eyes of those around him and decided to leave. He no longer wanted to stay here, but just as he turned to walk away, a voice suddenly spoke.
"Thinking of leaving without meeting the requirement?"
Hu Yi had not said a word before, now looking at Fang Zheng he spoke. What he said must be enforced, leaving now wasn’t an option without a punishment!
What the hell!
Fang Zheng heard Hu Yi’s words and almost spat out a mouthful of blood, countless Divine Beasts roaring in his heart. He was just publicly humiliated by Fang Yan, now if he had to undergo the hundred-whip punishment, could he even survive it! But he didn’t dare defy Hu Yi, the Inner Sect Disciples were all Earth Covering Realm experts, dealing with him would be child’s play, so despite his anger, he had to accept it!
His eyes glanced towards Fang Yan with a look filled with venom, reluctantly heading back, though in his heart he held deep hatred for Fang Yan, wishing he could skin Fang Yan alive right away...
And so, the farce ended. After those who didn’t meet the requirement had received the hundred-whip punishment, everyone left.
"This Fang Yan is quite interesting."
Hu Yi stood in place, watching Fang Yan’s departing figure, talking to himself. He had grown interested in Fang Yan too. Before coming here, Zhang Bufan had asked him to deal with Fang Yan, claiming Fang Yan was someone who was really bad, yet now it seemed that wasn’t quite the case.
Then, he took strides and left as well, his mind constantly pondering how Fang Yan managed to catch such a big fish, it wasn’t something anyone could casually catch...
During the following seven days, Hu Yi arranged for everyone to be catching fish. This arrangement left the Outer Sect disciples completely at a loss, no one expected this new instructor to set such a task, but helplessly, they could only do as Hu Yi required.
Everything seemed mundane, yet some noticed a problem; during these seven days, everyone else’s clothes were wet, except for Fang Yan and his two companions whose clothes remained dry, as though they hadn’t gone into the water. And more astonishing was Fang Yan and his companions consistently caught fish meeting the requirements every day, with Fang Yan’s fish being over seven feet each time, even once catching one that was ten feet!
Faced with such anomalous phenomena, everyone was puzzled, even Wu Kexiong couldn’t figure out how Fang Yan was doing it. He had sent people to follow Fang Yan and his companions, trying to uncover the truth, but those returning reported that Fang Yan and his companions simply walked upstream along the river, without doing anything else, and finding time running out, they had to give up the pursuit of catching more fish.
This result felt like a thorn lodged in Wu Kexiong’s heart. He vaguely sensed there was definitely more to this, Fang Yan and his group must have some special method. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense that even he struggled, while Fang Yan and his group were so at ease.
On the seventh night, Wu Kexiong was just about to return to his room, when halfway, Fang Zheng confronted him.
"Young Master Wu, could we talk?" Fang Zheng asked seriously, looking at Wu Kexiong.
Wu Kexiong hadn’t expected Fang Zheng to come to him, but recalling the incident where Fang Zheng was publicly humiliated by Lin Feng, he seemed to understand Fang Zheng’s purpose, and casually replied: "Alright."
"Follow me." Fang Zheng, seeing Wu Kexiong agree, immediately nodded, then said and led Wu Kexiong away.
Stopping in a garden within the Divine Sword Pavilion, the two halted their steps.
