Chapter 118 Truly an Adventure Secret Realm, He Likes It. _2
Once more, he arrived at the deserted deck.
"Third level, defeat five Foundation Establishment stage nine Fishman Monsters within a hundred breaths."
"Hmm..."
A flicker of surprise crossed Chen Qiu's eyes as he looked at the five Foundation Establishment stage nine Fishman Monsters before him. Was it merely the third level, yet he already faced five opponents of the same Cultivation level?
This level could stymie ninety-nine percent of participants.
Stay tuned for updates on empire
It also meant that ninety-nine percent of the people possess only a yellow fishing rod at best, with hardly any chance of upgrading to a blue one.
Generally speaking,
even for the geniuses from cities or sects, there was no way someone of the same Cultivation level could handle five opponents simultaneously—it was too strenuous unless they had multiple advantages like Spiritual Treasures and spells.
Chen Qiu shook his head, not dwelling on it further; he cast hundreds of Thunder Dragons with a flick of his hand, and then as the mist filled the deck, he once again walked out from the cabin to the deck.
Now, the fishing rod in his hand had been upgraded to blue.
Its blue was like the vast sea, and holding it, you could even see specks within the rod, twinkling like stars in the sky, its quality evidently many times superior to the yellow fishing rods.
"What a pity."
Chen Qiu felt regret as he weighed the fishing rod in his hands, lamenting that this item couldn't be taken out of the Secret Realm. Otherwise, it would make a fine object to fiddle with, feeling much more comfortable to the touch than the Jade Feather Fan he had initially bought at the Ask Heaven Market.
He scanned his surroundings.
At this moment, around sixty percent of the people on the deck were using green fishing rods, ten percent were using white fishing rods, and the rest had yellow fishing rods.
As for the blue fishing rods, only he had one.
However, when he had first entered the third level, he saw a few people seated in meditation with Spirit Stones at the entrance, possibly having failed one or two attempts already, but not giving up and preparing to try again after restoring their Spiritual Energy.
Maybe they would succeed next time.
Chen Qiu glanced around and decided not to linger. He gripped the blue fishing rod in his hand and confidently strode to the deck, then swung the rod powerfully, casting the hook to the farthest distance.
-
"Blue fishing rod."
"Can fish up blue fish at the highest, and to upgrade to the purple level, one needs to catch 'four blue fish' and pass the fourth level inside the deck's cabin."
-
Fat Long now possessed a yellow fishing rod, already reaching its limit. With Fat Long's combat ability, he currently wasn't qualified to have a blue fishing rod, while the scholar had a green fishing rod, which he likely wouldn't have been able to possess if he hadn't swapped for the Sword Bone.
His available Spiritual Energy was minimal, hardly possessing any offensive capabilities. The green fishing rod was already his limit.
This time, the blue fish seemed extraordinarily gentle. Chen Qiu had only waited a few breaths before catching a large fish completely blue and pulling it onto the deck.
"Splash, splash!"
After a few flops on the deck, the blue fish transformed into a hundred Spirit Stones.
"A hundred Spirit Stones?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Chen Qiu's eyes. Yellow fish could only turn into ten Spirit Stones each, yet this blue fish, just one quality higher, could transform into a hundred Spirit Stones, which was ten times more.
There were still over two hours until the end of the Secret Realm.
Even if he didn't upgrade his fishing rod any further and just sat here fishing for two hours with this blue rod, he felt that by the time the Secret Realm ended, he could take away several thousand Spirit Stones—a considerable fortune indeed.
This scene was noticed by many people around.
"A blue fish is worth a hundred Spirit Stones?"
"Damn!"
In an instant, several cultivators who had tried the third level once but had barely failed without hesitation rushed to the cabin below the deck to try again. Although battling five Fishmen Monsters of the same Cultivation level was challenging, they were core disciples of their various sects.
They were so close to making it through and originally didn't want to waste time trying, thinking even blue fish wouldn't be much more valuable than yellow ones. But now, seeing there was a tenfold difference, none were willing to fish for yellow fish anymore.
Catching one blue fish was worth as much as catching ten yellow fish.
...
After catching several green and yellow fish midway, Chen Qiu finally managed to catch four blue fish within the span of two cups of tea, ready to upgrade the fishing rod quality once he passed the fourth level.
He strode towards the cabin under the deck and stepped into the fourth level.
On the deserted deck,
ten Foundation Establishment stage nine Fishman Monsters holding fish spears stood there.
"Ten?"
Chen Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly; the difficulty was not trivial. He wasted no time as he didn't want to finally have his fishing rod upgraded to the highest quality and then run out of time to fish.
The rule was to kill within a hundred breaths.
If a renowned sect's Heavenly Pride could manage to fight ten opponents of the same Cultivation using guerrilla tactics, then this hundred-breath limit essentially blocked that strategy completely.
He casually released hundreds of Thunder Dragons, and these Fishman Monsters once again turned into wisps of green smoke.
For him, unless they were Golden Core, whether it was five, ten, or even a hundred had no significance; his Thunder Summoning Technique now was not something that opponents at the Foundation Establishment level could withstand, having completely surpassed those limits.
His domination over Foundation Establishment level opponents, barring Divine Sense Attacks, was virtually no different in dimension from a Golden Core dominating a Foundation Establishment opponent.
As he walked onto the deck again.
