Chapter 446: Chapter 445: Unsettled Mindset

“Odd and twisted ways.” The fishing uncle sniffed disdainfully at the behaviors of catching and scooping fish.

“Uncle, how is your fishing skill?” Bai Hong fulfilled a bucket of fish and came over to show off. If not for Bai Hong holding it down, who knows how many fish would have jumped out.

“Look at this full bucket, everything is here — gold carps, wealthy lionfish, longevity fish…”

Every time Bai Hong mentioned a type of fish, the fishing uncle’s hand would squeeze a little harder.

If he could catch one of them, it would not be a wasted fishing trip today, what kind of luck does this kid have!

“How did you catch these?” The fishing uncle asked, looking as if he was making casual conversation.

“Just scooped them up.” Bai Hong replied truthfully.

“This place is for fishing, it’s not appropriate for you to scoop fish!” The fishing uncle glared at Bai Hong angrily.

“Have you found a contestant?” Bai Hong ignored him and casually asked Jiang Li.

Jiang Li sighed and took out a gleaming golden trophy, which read, ‘Champion of the Nine Provinces Fishing Tournament, Dongyun Lake Division.’

“Nope, the skill level here is too low; they did not meet the qualifications to participate in the competition.”

Bai Hong also looked regretful: “Really? I thought that as the second largest lake in the Nine Provinces, there will be many skilled fishers here. I didn’t expect that we can’t even find someone qualified to participate in the competition. It seems these people are just so-so.”

“Isn’t that the case, although our competition is only the first one, there isn’t much fame, I’m afraid it will be tough to find participants. Unfortunately, this trophy has a great commemorative meaning as the first trophy of the competition.”

“If we can’t find anyone, then I will reluctantly become the champion.” Bai Hong revealed an expression that had nothing to do with reluctance.

As Yu Yin would say, this case demonstrates how a small victory can breed complacency.

After careful thought, Jiang Li planned to handover the trophy to Bai Hong: “It’s fine, amongst the short people, we could pick the taller one. In this case, this trophy is yours.”

“Nonsense, with his skills, he scooped up so little, and he still wants to be a champion, I can easily use my mana to scoop up several buckets!”

The fishing uncle was infuriated, even though he didn’t know which power organized this competition, the mere idea of the trophy going to Bai Hong was an insult to cultivators who loved fishing and had spent years fishing at Dongyun Lake.

We enjoy fishing, but if we’re talking about scooping fish, we’re not afraid of a challenge.

The fishing uncle took action without hesitation, using his mana, he lifted up tens of cubic meters of lake water from Dongyun Lake, and then scooped out all the fish within the lifted water.

“Hahaha, what a good harvest! Look, the fish I scooped up are so much more than yours, you kid.” The fishing uncle laughed while hinting that he didn’t care about the trophy, but just didn’t want Bai Hong to be smug and boastful after getting the trophy, putting on airs as if he had achieved great success.

“Indeed, I really can’t compare.” Bai Hong was all smiles, not annoyed in the least.

“Yang Ming! Everyone is fishing, and you dare to scoop fish, then you laugh, do you want to humiliate us!?” Another cultivator who had come to fish was very unhappy with the fishing uncle’s arrogant laughter.

Even though there were a few strangers who scooped fish by using strange methods, at least they hadn’t directly used their cultivation.

Everyone was here for fishing, to compare their state of mind, Yang Ming scooped fish, that would have been fine, but not with such a big commotion.

What’s the matter, you Yang Ming, you think you’re high up on your cultivation?

The other cultivators were not pleased with the fishing uncle’s behavior and heard his laughter, causing discontentment, and they started feeling competitive.

Then, the second person who used mana to scoop fish appeared.

Like a chain reaction, the third person, the fourth person, the fifth person…

The whole Dongyun Lake was thrown into chaos, bizarre occurrences frequently emerged.

Dark clouds pressed down low, with a giant dancing with his arms behind the clouds, and the person holding a broadsword split the lake water into nine parts. The waters between each part were barred by sword Qi and could not merge together.

One cultivator pointed downwards, and the local lake water, along with the fish and shrimp, were all frozen.

Some cultivators with powerful divine sense controlled the schools of fish to drift towards them…

Others used their Great Divine Power, planning to lift up the entire lake. But when someone disagreed with that, both parties started fighting over the waters of the lake.

Those who came to fish here were mostly cultivators with high cultivation levels, but without much room for improvement. They were hoping to achieve breakthroughs by finding tranquility here, or they were here to spend their twilight years in peace.

“Their state of mind is still not high enough.”

“Isn’t it so? It’s just a trivial matter and it’s worth taking action, they still need to refine their hearts.”

“I’m sure I wouldn’t do this.”

“Neither would I.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hong were commenting on the cultivators.

Jiang Li wasn’t skilled at Artifact Refining, so he only made one trophy.

The Battle of Dongyun Lake continued. The materials provided for this trial were quite basic and couldn’t withstand the remnants of the cultivators’ attacks. The remnant waves from the battles shattered the fishing net Yu Yin laid out.

Qin Luan and Yuan Wuxing were unable to fish in these conditions and could only go ashore. The fish had no intention of listening to Wu Zhi’s recitations, and fishing, furthermore, was out of the question.

Durings this trial, they could only use their cultivation when refining the objects, apart from this, they were not allowed to use it.

Eventually, the battle ended, and one Divine Transformation stage cultivator emerged victoriously and scooped up all the fish in the lake. freewebnσvel.cѳm

A Divine Transformation stage cultivator could move mountains and fill up seas, so it wasn’t hard to scoop up all the fish in the entire lake.

However, the cultivator was somewhat worried because he didn’t know how to handle these fish.

They caught fish because of a heated contest, and not due to actual anger.

If they didn’t let the fish back into the lake, then how would they fish in the future?

But if they were to talk about putting them back into the lake, then making such a fuss, with a group of people red-faced and vigorously scooping fish, wouldn’t that be a joke?

Earlier, he was the one who took the most drastic action, so he can’t let the fish go now, he just couldn’t face it.

“Congratulations to you, the champion.” Jiang Li gave the trophy cheerily.

“What trophy?” That cultivator was startled, not knowing where Jiang Li had come from.

“Champion of the Nine Provinces Fishing Tournament, Dongyun Lake Division. We follow a principle of recycling usage in our competition, so we’ll release these fish back into the lake.”

Seeing there’s a way out and that there’s a trophy to be claimed, the cultivator burst into laughter, accepted the trophy: “Then I’ll leave these fish to you.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hong thanked the cultivator and secured all the fish in Dongyun Lake.

The Human Emperor candidates were unaware of the details, they only knew that someone laughed, then someone angrily scooped fish, followed by cultivators fighting each other to scoop fish.

Only Yu Yin, who has been paying attention to Jiang Li and Bai Hong from the start, understood the ins and outs of the situation and knew that these two rascals again behaved in an unconventional way.

They were not allowed to use their cultivation? Then let other cultivators help scoop the fish.

…

Jiang Li brought all the Human Emperor candidates into the consciousness space.

“Who among you thinks they scooped up the most fish this time?”

No one replied, everyone was in self-reflection.

“For this trial, there were two candidates who cooperated sincerely with minimal expense, inducing a portion of the eager cultivators to help them. The eager cultivators gave all the fish to these two Human Emperor candidates.”

“May I ask Mr. Jiang, who are these two Human Emperor candidates?” The crowd was curious. They were only focused on scooping fish earlier, and hadn’t noticed who had obtained all the fish.

“I won’t tell. Just guess.” Jiang Li left this sentence and returned everyone to their original locations.
