Chapter 53 - Can Me Show Me Some Respect?

Everybody went crazy in the last hour.

Those who had enough points wanted to have more so that they could have higher places in the awakening ritual. Those who had fewer points hoped to make it to the top hundred. Those whose points had been robbed were planning to get them back.

However, there was only an hour to go before the end of the Fishing Trial, and nobody left was weak. Robbery was much more difficult.

More importantly, the alliances from the beginning were falling apart. Some were ambushed by their allies, and some declared war openly. They executed the other members in their alliances and swallowed all the points.

More and more people were forfeiting the trial, especially those who earned abundant points after the fallout of the alliances.

Of course, some of the alliances grew larger and larger under the lead of certain people. Most of them were Heavenly Talents who promised returns to others.

Xia Wushuang, from the western campus, was a typical example of such people. His Spiritual Heritage was Level Four, Low Quality, which indicated a promising future. So, many people came to offer points to him.

On Han Fei’s side, he and He Xiaoyu occupied four boats full of points. Anyone from the eastern campus would’ve run when they saw Han Fei and He Xiaoyu, but Xia Wushuang was not from there and did not recognize Han Fei.

Xia Wushuang knew that Han Fei and He Xiaoyu might be strong, but they couldn’t be stronger than level eight. Since he was a level-eight with a dozen lackeys around him, how could he not rob them?

He Xiaoyu was free after she joined up with Han Fei. She felt that it was not a problem for her to make it to the top hundred.

Suddenly, she shouted, “A team of boats is coming!”

Han Fei said, “I saw them. Someone is delivering points to us again!”

He Xiaoyu: “???”

Han Fei gave her a Spirit Refilling Pill with a smile. “You’ll take care of the lackeys, and I’ll finish the boss.”

He Xiaoyu jumped to her feet. “But there are a dozen lackeys and only one boss.”

Han Fei complained, “He Xiaoyu, you are a level-seven fisher! Can you handle no pressure at all?”

He Xiaoyu pouted her lips. “Even a dozen level-five fishers could still exhaust a level-seven fisher! Besides, I’m only new to level seven. How can I defeat them?”

Han Fei was lost for words. “Fine, let’s split them evenly, all right?”

He Xiaoyu said, “The boss is yours.”

“He Xiaoyu, let me tell you, you are not going to become an expert if you don’t challenge yourself.”

He Xiaoyu argued, “I don’t have to become an expert! I only need to become a grand fishing master. That’s my father’s goal for me. I’ll be free after I become a grand fishing master.”

Han Fei sweated. “He Xiaoyu, that’s a dangerous thought.”

He Xiaoyu said, “I don’t care. You are stronger than me anyway. Since you killed an inspector, you are at least as strong as a level-nine fisher.”

He Xiaoyu looked at the sky. Han Fei was only a level-two fisher a month ago, but after a month, he was already capable of fighting a level-nine fisher. Wasn’t he as extraordinary as Tang Ge?

Han Fei proposed, “Let’s divide and conquer, shall we?”

He Xiaoyu said, “How? They’re definitely coming together! Why don’t we end the trial? I think you are certainly in the top ten now.”

Han Fei said, unsatisfied, “Why don’t I make it to the top three if I’m already a top ten? Only the top three will have rewards.”

He Xiaoyu said, “So will the rest of the top ten. According to tradition, they all can choose a battle technique.”

Han Fei said in disdain, “Are there any good techniques in our village? I’d better make it to the top three!”

He Xiaoyu was of a mind to smack the guy into the ocean. She was beyond anxious, yet the guy was still bragging.

...

Xia Wushuang stood at the front of his boat with his hands behind his back and looked over casually.

When the boat drew near, he asked Han Fei, “I’m very curious. Why did you not flee?”

Han Fei said, “I don’t have enough hands to sail the boats, or I would’ve run away.”

Xia Wushuang said, “Have you been robbed?”

Han Fei suddenly burst into fury. “Can you show me some respect?”

Xia Wushuang: “???”

Han Fei said, “Put your hands to your front. How can you keep them behind you when you’re talking to someone?”

Xia Wushuang: “...”

He Xiaoyu: “...”

He Xiaoyu was almost crying. The enemy is already here. Why are you still bulls*iting instead of fighting?

Xia Wushuang said, “Give me your points, and I’ll spare you.”

Han Fei asked, “Are you among the top three?”

Xia Wushuang: “???”

Xia Wushuang found it impossible to communicate with this guy. He couldn’t keep up with the guy’s line of thinking at all.

Xia Wushuang said patiently, “I’m close.”

Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “In that case, give me your points, and I’ll be there.”

Xia Wushuang: “???”

Xia Wushuang said gloomily, “You refuse to offer your points?”

Han Fei said, “I’ll hand it over!”

Xia Wushuang was secretly relieved. He did not want to fight the guy, because the traces on the boat suggested intense battles. It meant that the guy couldn’t be weak.

However, in the next second, Han Fei said, “I’ll give you my ass!”

Before Xia Wushuang realized what was going on, Han Fei leaped. His purple bamboo rod was glittering with spiritual energy.

“Explode!”

Xia Wushuang’s face changed. Spiritual Energy Explosion could only be launched by level-sevens, at the least. Also, why was the spiritual energy even intenser than Xia Wushuang’s own?

Xia Wushuang tried to resist it with his rod, but he was too busy feeling good about himself to carry it. Immediately, he stomped and flew back.

Behind Xia Wushuang, four level-six fishers fought back with their rods. After a collision, all of them collapsed. One of them even passed out and cramped.

Everybody on Xia Wushuang’s side was shocked. They had no idea whom they had pissed off. Before they took action, Han Fei landed on Xia Wushuang’s boat and charged at Xia Wushuang.

Xia Wushuang was greatly shocked. He had only just grabbed his rod, but the only thing he could do in midair was lift the weapon and block the attack.

Clang...

Xia Wushuang smashed the cabin cover and fell into it after vomiting a mouthful of blood.

Han Fei said next to the cabin casually, “Politeness is better than arrogance. Who gave you the courage to keep your hands behind your back when you’re facing an enemy?”

“Ha!”

Xia Wushuang roared in the cabin and charged at Han Fei.

BAM!

He was flung back into the fish cabin as fast as he came.

Han Fei said, “Why are you roaring? You’re launching Spiritual Energy Explosion when your body is not steady yet? Is that what your teacher taught you?”

Not far away, the other young men who intended to surround him all stopped. Some were even trying to sneak back to their own boats.

Han Fei raised his boat and pointed at one of them, “Whoever you are, I’ll break your legs and throw you into the ocean if you run any farther.”

The young man was too scared to run. Xia Wushuang was a level-eight fisher, and he had been knocked out by this guy in two attacks. Who was this guy?

Not bothering what they were thinking, Han Fei shouted to He Xiaoyu, “He Xiaoyu, collect the points.”

He Xiaoyu was stunned. She was ready for a brutal battle, but it was already over before she jumped on the enemy’s boat?

“Pu...”

“Who are you?”

Clutching the cabin wall with both hands, Xia Wushuang looked at Han Fei, his mouth full of blood.

Han Fei said solemnly, “I’m the person whom you can’t defeat.”

Xia Wushuang: “...”
