Chapter 4: Pointing (Part 2)

  "It's all over! How did we end up running into a school of pike fish here?!"

  "Wu Zhen shouted: 'Prepare the alligator gar's blood! Hurry up!'"

  Lei Xingfeng stood up and walked to the side of the boat. The wooden boats here were all flat-headed and shallow-drafted, he squinted his eyes and looked out, seeing a few silver glints in the distance. He asked: "What is a barracuda? Is it very dangerous?"

  Wu Zhen said: "It's not even dangerous, it just might damage the hull. These fish are incredibly fast, if a wooden boat happens to be in their path, haha, then it'll be fun, you'll see."

  Zhong Geng said: "There are two kinds of dangerous fish here, one is the garfish and the other is the swordfish. The garfish is not only a threat to humans but also to wooden boats."

  "Wu Zhen said: 'Each boat overturned and spilled the crocodile fish's blood!'"

  The alligator gar is a top-level fish in the lake, so its blood has a deterrent effect, making other fish mistakenly think that there is an injured alligator gar. It's worth noting that an injured alligator gar is extremely dangerous, and any fish that encounters an injured alligator gar will instinctively flee.

  The garfish were no exception, they were very sensitive, and the school of fish that was about to collide with the wooden boat suddenly changed direction. Even so, a small number of garfish still collided with one side of the ship, and a dense crashing sound could be heard.

  The sound of dripping water is continuous.

  Lei Xingfeng saw a fish head sticking out, just embedded in the ship's side, and immediately fishermen went up to grab the barbed spearfish, then used wooden plugs to fill the empty holes in the shipboard.

  About a dozen harpoon fish were nailed to the side of the boat, and after taking them down, they were thrown onto the deck. Lei Xingfeng only then got a clear look at the harpoon fish, which was two feet long and as thick as an adult's arm. The head of the fish was a bony sharp spike, just like a short snake. Lei Xingfeng said, "How ugly!"

  Zhong Geng smiled and said, "Whether it's a garfish or a pike, they're both one of the best fish, with an extremely delicious taste. There's even a special net for catching garfish, hehe, as long as you block their path, you can catch a lot."

  "It's very difficult to catch them," Wu Zhen added. "The speed of the garfish is extremely fast, and it's impossible to chase after them. The only way is to block their path in front of the fish school, then there might be a chance to cast the net."

  The old fisherman who was boiling water smiled and said, "Young master, that's a matter of luck. No one will deliberately catch swordfish, they just happen to encounter them and then cast their nets. Most of the time, when they see swordfish, they immediately turn the boat around and avoid them. If a school of swordfish hits the side of the boat, hehe, you won't even have time to plug the holes, and the boat will sink."

  "Then what is this 'hunting knife fish'?" Lei Xingfeng asked. "Why is it so dangerous?"

  The old fisherman laughed and said: "This thing is also in groups, but much more than the garfish, it's everywhere. I'll catch one for you to see."

  "Can you catch a Sawfish?" Lei Xingfeng asked in surprise.

  The old fisherman said, "That's easy, hunting knife fish, most of them are in groups, and many hunting knife fish will act alone, just wait for a moment." He returned to the cabin, quickly came back with a fishing rod, hooked up the bait, and immediately cast it out.

  In less than a minute, the old fisherman quickly pulled in his rod and said, "It seems like a big fish!"

  There are countless species of fish in this lake, and the density is unimaginable to Leixing Peak. Due to the vast territory, the lake surface basically occupies the ground, and there are few people here. The fish species here are almost unaffected by human life, and they multiply massively. With a fishing rod, it's unlikely to come up empty-handed, and you'll definitely get a catch.

  They soon pulled the fish to the side of the boat, and Wu Zhen picked up a dip net and scooped it aboard in one swift motion.

  This fish is about to reach one meter in length, with a flat, knife-like body, a triangular head, a very large mouth, a black back, and a silver belly. From the gill position to the tail, there is a crimson red blood line that extends, making it look like an enlarged knife.

  The old fisherman pinched open the fish's mouth and said, "Piranha, apart from its body being like a knife, mainly it's the teeth in its mouth. Look, they're like a row of sharp knives. If this thing bites you once, it'll definitely take off a piece of flesh. If a group of piranhas attack you, hehe, unless you can quickly get out of the water, within a minute, one person will be left with just a skeleton. If there are big piranhas, like this one..."

  The old fisherman pointed at the hunting knife in his hand and said with a smile: "Even the bones will be bitten to pieces."

  "Wu Zhen said, 'Even if our divers are underwater and encounter a goblin shark, they wouldn't dare provoke it. This thing has an extremely strong vengeful nature. If you don't attack it, and it's not hungry, then the danger to humans isn't that great.'"

  "Good fellow, this is a standard man-eating fish."

  Zhong Geng smiled and said, "This pair of wheel masters is not very effective. We are not afraid of this fish. The thousand-wheel master has the power of armor, and the hunting knife fish can't break through this defense."

  "Wu Zhen said: "Master, I'm a hundred-wheeled master, but I don't have the wheel force armor, alas!" He couldn't help but sigh deeply. Someone else's young apprentice was already a secret wheel master, it was simply unbearable, and his heart was filled with all sorts of envy and jealousy."

  Lei Xingfeng could naturally hear Wu Zhen's envy, and he said: "The hundred-wheel master advancing to the thousand-wheel master is actually not difficult... I think you are already close to achieving it, just keep rolling like a pearl, circulating back and forth, and you will soon reach your goal." He added a few more sentences before stopping.

  There are no sects of cultivators, but those who rely on their masters to pass down the skills often have a very difficult time. They sometimes get stuck at a certain threshold and just can't seem to break through it, requiring a long period of cultivation and tempering until their wheel power is raised to an unimprovable level before they might be able to force their way past it. During this time, not only are time and energy wasted, but further advancement is also delayed.

  Wu Zhen's eyes widened, he couldn't think that Lei Xingfeng would say such a thing, this is the secret of cultivation, even Zhong Geng stared with wide eyes, but he quickly reacted, their precious cultivation method, for those big sect disciples, it doesn't count as anything, just a few simple words can point out the way, he has been stuck in the Wan Lun realm for a long time, unable to break through, this has always been his heart disease.

  This kind of thing is not to be modest about, Zhong Geng immediately asked: "Lei younger brother... no, no, Mr. Lei, you see me... see me..."

  Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but laugh, and his heart also moved slightly. In fact, he knew that the cultivation of any attribute has its own characteristics, but many key points are the same for cultivators. That is to say, in the future, he may not be limited to the thunder system, and other cultivators' methods will also enlighten him.

  "Like a rolling ball, round and smooth as jade."

  Zhong Geng immediately sat down, he carefully pondered, Wu Zhen was also so, only the old fisherman looked at it in confusion.

  Lei Xingfeng came to his side and said, "Old man, can you deal with these fish and cook a few dishes? I also want to taste the swordfish and the hunting knife fish."

  The old fisherman exclaimed in surprise: "Don't dare call me master or young master, just call me Old Tian, I was sent to the Zhong family by the Tian family."

  Lei Xingfeng said indifferently: "Hm, Old Tian, I know you all have a few secret techniques for roasting fish, how about it?"

  Lao Tian was overjoyed and said, "Alright, alright, no problem. As long as the young master doesn't mind, I'll go prepare." He hastily carried the wooden bucket into the cabin.

  In just over ten minutes, Wu Zhen made the first breakthrough, followed closely by Zhong Geng. One was a thousand-mile master and the other a secret wheel master. Both were so thrilled that they didn't know what to do. Zhong Geng spoke up first: "Mr. Lei, you are my benefactor, I will thank you for this lifetime!"

  Wan Lun Shi and Mi Lun Shi are completely different concepts, with a significant increase in strength, the nature of the wheel's power is also improved, and even lifespan will be extended. The future development will also be different, how can Zhong Gang not feel extremely grateful?

  Wu Zhen was overjoyed, and once he reached the Thousand Wheel Master, after condensing his wheel power armor, his strength also increased by a large margin. The difference between the Hundred Wheels and the Thousand Wheels is at least a tenfold gap, which is just the beginning. When cultivating more than 9,900 wheel powers, the multiplier of their differences will be even greater.

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Don't be polite, this is just a small trick."

  Zhong Geng sighed and said, "For you, it's just a small trick, but for us, it's an insurmountable barrier. Without this hint, we would have continued to drag on. Unfortunately, I'm too old to join any major cultivation sects."

  After this guidance, Zhong Geng had even more respect for Lei Xingfeng. Cultivators rarely went out of their way to guide outsiders; not to mention treasuring one's own teachings, but actively guiding outsiders was almost unimaginable.

  Wu Zhen repeatedly expressed his gratitude, this promotion was even more beneficial to him. The younger he was, the greater his potential for development. He was only in his twenties and had not yet reached thirty years old. If he were to be promoted to Wan Lun Shi at forty years old and then to Mi Lun Shi before sixty years old, then when he condensed his true body at eighty years old, he would still have at least forty more years to live.

  Forty years from now, if fate permits, it's likely that a second ring will form, and everything will be completely different.

  Of course, this promotion speed is completely unacceptable for Leixingfeng. With his qualifications and potential, as well as a strong background and resources, he will be promoted faster than these cultivators, and reach a higher peak faster. Cultivation is like that, the faster the cultivation speed, the stronger it is, the more benefits there are.

  Wu Zhen spent over a decade to reach the level of Qian Lun Shi, but Lei Xing Feng reached it in less than a year, and even that was just one or two months. The difference between them is like heaven and earth, this is the gap between innate talent and ordinary potential. This is also why those high-level cultivators would not let go of children with innate talent when they see them.

  ……

  Ten days later, the fleet arrived at its destination.

  Xiehu Bay, to the west is a shallow beach with a large number of trees, to the east is a dense reed marsh, to the south is an endless lake surface, and to the north is a rare stone mountain protruding from the water surface. The fleet stopped at the foot of the stone mountain, where there was a small piece of land.

  This land is flooded with water during the rainy season and exposed above the water surface during the dry season. The trees on this land have been cut down, a wooden shed was built by the water's edge, and there is also a simple dock.

  "Here... several months ago, I sent people to set up a camp, hehe." He felt somewhat pleased with himself.

  ………

  The first watch, votes ah...
