Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 448

Chapter 446: Bad Mood

“That’s a weird trick.” The fisherman scoffed at the act of catching fish.

“Uncle, are you any good at fishing?” Bai Hongtu showed off with a bucket of fish. If Bai Hongtu hadn’t been holding it down, who knows how many fish would have popped out.

“Look at this bucket full! Golden carp, lionfish, longevity fish… everything.”

With each fish name Bai Hongtu read out, the fisherman’s hands tightened.

If he could catch one of them, today’s fishing trip would be worthwhile. What luck this kid

has! “How did you catch it?” The fisherman remained unmoved, as if chatting casually.

“I caught it by catching it,” Bai Hongtu told the truth.

“This is a fishing area. Are you catching fish properly?” The fisherman glared at Bai Hongtu.

“Have you found the contestants?” Bai Hongtu ignored him and casually asked Jiang Li.

Jiang Li sighed and held out a golden trophy, which read “Champion of the Dongyun Lake Division of the Kyushu Fishing Competition.”

“No, the people here are too low-level to qualify for the competition.”

Bai Hongtu also looked regretful. “Really? I thought Dongyun Lake, as the second largest lake in Jiuzhou, would be full of fishermen. I didn’t expect to find anyone qualified to participate. It seems these people are just so-so.”

“That’s right. Although this is the first competition, it’s not very famous. I’m afraid it will be difficult to find participating monks. It’s just a pity for this trophy. It’s a trophy from the first competition and it has great commemorative significance.” “If

you can’t find it again, then I can only be the champion reluctantly.” Bai Hongtu’s expression had nothing to do with reluctance.

In Yu Yin’s words, this is called a small-time success.

Jiang Li thought carefully for a moment, then prepared to hand the trophy to Bai Hongtu. “Alright, consider it a sign of strength. This trophy is for you.”

“Nonsense! With his skill and such a small catch, he still wants to be the champion! I can easily use my magic power to catch buckets of fish!”

The fisherman was enraged. Although he didn’t know which faction organized the competition, the fact that Bai Hongtu won the trophy was an insult to them, the avid anglers who had been fishing at Dongyun Lake for years. “

We just enjoy fishing, and when it comes to catching fish, we’re not afraid of a challenge. “

The fisherman didn’t hesitate. He used his magic power to lift dozens of cubic meters of water from Dongyun Lake and scooped up all the fish.

“Hahaha, what a great catch! See? I caught far more fish than you did!” The fisherman laughed. He wasn’t interested in the trophy; he just didn’t want Bai Hongtu to be smug and boastful after receiving it, acting like a smug, self-satisfied cultivator.

“That’s right, I can’t compare,” Bai Hongtu said with a smile, unperturbed.

“Yang Ming! Everyone’s fishing, and you dare to catch fish and laugh? Are you trying to humiliate us?” A fellow fisherman was displeased by the fisherman’s unbridled laughter.

Even though a few strangers were using strange methods to catch fish, they weren’t directly using their cultivation.

Everyone comes here to fish, competing for their state of mind. It’s okay for you, Yang Ming, to catch fish, but you’re making such a fuss.

So, you, Yang Ming, have a higher cultivation level, right?

Seeing the fisherman’s actions and hearing his laughter, the other cultivators felt displeased and began to compete.

Then, a second person appeared, using their magic to catch fish.

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

The entire Dongyun Lake was in turmoil, with strange phenomena occurring one after another.

Dark clouds descended, and a giant waved his arms from behind them. The one wielding a broadsword split the lake into nine sections, the blade energy blocking the waters and preventing them from merging.

A cultivator pressed down, freezing a portion of the lake water, along with the fish and shrimp.

A cultivator, with powerful spiritual awareness, manipulated schools of fish toward them…

Another displayed great magical powers, attempting to lift the entire lake. Someone disagreed, and the two engaged in a struggle using the lake water as a medium.

Most of those who came here to fish were cultivators with high cultivation but limited room for advancement. They sought to calm their minds and seek breakthroughs, or perhaps to spend their retirement in peace.

“Their mental state isn’t high enough.”

“Of course. Such a trivial matter is worth taking action on. It requires cultivating the mind.”

“I certainly wouldn’t do that.”

“Me too.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu commented on the group of cultivators.

Jiang Li wasn’t skilled in refining, so he only crafted a trophy.

The battle at Dongyun Lake continued. The materials provided in this trial were very basic, and they couldn’t withstand the aftermath of the cultivators’ attacks. The aftermath shattered Yu Yin’s fishing nets.

Qin Luan and Yuan Wuxing were unable to fish under these conditions and could only go ashore. The fish had no interest in Wuzhi’s chanting, and fishing was even more ridiculous.

This test allowed cultivation to be used only when refining items; it could not be used for anything else.

Finally, the battle concluded, and a cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage emerged victorious, having scooped up every fish in the lake.

A cultivator at the Spiritualization Stage could move mountains and fill the sea, so scooping up an entire lake would be easy.

However, this cultivator was worried; he didn’t know what to do with the fish.

Their fishing was a matter of pride, not out of genuine anger.

If they didn’t return the fish to the lake, how would they fish in the future?

But if they did, a brawl would ensue, with everyone scooping up fish with red faces and thick necks, making it a joke.

He had already been the most brutal just now, so he couldn’t bring himself to return the fish.

“Congratulations, champion!” Jiang Li smiled and presented the trophy.

“What trophy?” The cultivator was stunned, unsure where Jiang Li had come from.

“Champions of the Dongyun Lake Division of the Jiuzhou Fishing Competition. Our competition adheres to the principle of recycling, and we will return these fish to the lake.”

The monk, noticing that he had steps to descend and a trophy to hold, laughed and took the trophy. “Then these fish are yours.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu thanked the cultivator and claimed all the fish from Dongyun Lake.

The Human Emperor candidates were confused as to what had happened; they only heard someone laugh, then someone else angrily fished, followed by a melee among the cultivators, each trying to catch the fish.

Only Yu Yin, keeping an eye on Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, saw the whole thing unfold, knowing that these two idiots were once again playing by their own rules.

Not allowed to use their cultivation? Then let other cultivators help catch the fish.

…

Jiang Li pulled all the Human Emperor candidates into his consciousness.

“Who do you think caught the most fish in this test?”

No one answered, and everyone lowered their heads in reflection.

“In this test, two candidates worked together sincerely, securing the help of a few enthusiastic cultivators at a very small cost. These kind cultivators then gifted all the fish to these two Human Emperor candidates.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Jiang, who are these two Human Emperor candidates?” everyone wondered. They had been so busy catching fish that they hadn’t noticed who had gotten all the fish.

“I won’t tell you, so you can guess,” Jiang Li said, sending everyone back to their original locations.
