God of Fishing - Chapter 558
Chapter 558 A Face-Slapping Show (1)
Ling Yuan and Qu Jinnan were not freed until half a month later. In the past half month, they didn’t even go to the arena but were beaten up by Han Fei at school from morning to night. They cried, begged, and asked for help but no one cared about them.
Today Han Fei and the other four were taken out of the school by Old Bai, and Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan were finally liberated.
When the two had breakfast, they almost cried with joy.
Only when the two sides were evenly matched it could be called a fight. But when there was a great disparity in strength between the two sides, it should be called abuse.
They felt that they had been abused for half a month. Under that kind of mental torture, even the usually obedient Qu Jinnan was about to collapse.
Qu Jinnan even said boldly that someday, he must beat the hell out of Han Fei.
Not to mention whether his words could be fulfilled or not, after the last half month, he was no longer that gentle, simple-minded Qu Jinnan.
He didn’t have another choice. If he didn’t fight back, he would be battered harder. So he tried to fight back. However, although he tried his best to fight back, he was still battered hard in the end, which made him very sad.
After breakfast, Qu Jinnan said to Ling Yuan, “I want to go to the arena.”
Ling Yuan nodded earnestly. “I want to go there too. I think I need to vent out. I have been putting up with it for half a month.”
Qu Jinnan nodded in agreement. “Me too.”
This was the martial arts field in the center of Blue Sea Town.
The building was tall and the site was large. Rows of thick stone pillars were as high as tens of meters, but there were pits everywhere in the ground like an old battlefield.
As a martial arts field in a town, its role was not to allow ordinary people to exercise, but to be specifically used for large-scale events, including the selection of talented fishers, assessment of the managers of the Floating Islands, and competitions among schools, etc.
This time, the four academies all gathered here.
The presidents of the other three major academies brought teams of nearly dozens of people each. These people were mainly those who went to the Fiery Mountain last time, so they knew each other.
Han Fei exclaimed, “Huh! Did they add some people?”
Zhang Xuanyu nodded. “Some people seem to be a little old.”
Wenren Yu explained, “During a year, the people who participated in the Flame Mountain trial had only 200 left, so they promoted some people from the top students in the schools. But the lowest qualification requirement is being a Dangling Fisher. So some senior students joined in.”
Xia Xiaochan jumped in, “Our school has no
grade.”
Wenren Yu said, “You have a total of seven people. Why do you need to be divided into different grades?”
At this moment, many people were looking at the Thug Legend students. Especially Han Fei, he attracted the attention of many people. That was because Han Fei caused such a great uproar in the level-three fishery! Most of the people who could come here today were Dangling Fishers, and only a few great fishing masters were among them.
These great fishing masters were not here to go to the Unknown place. They were simply brought over to gain some experience.
He Xiaoyu, Xia Wushuang, and their party were among them. Standing on the edge at the moment, they had no chance to fight in the arena.
Han Fei felt a scorching murderous gaze on him from the crowd.
No one knew how miserable Li Hanyi had been in the level-three fishery. Most of the people stayed on the dragon boats or went to explore secret realms in teams.
But Li Han was different. He was very confident with his talent and fighting experiences. But obviously, luck really varied from person to person.
For many times, Li Han thought that he was going to be killed but then got a narrow escape. For example, after Han Fei came out of the Steps into the Sea, everyone went to chase Han Fei and forgot about him, which gave him a chance to escape.
But he really hated Han Fei. If it weren’t for this bastard, he might have gained greater opportunities.
Xia Xiaochan poked Han Fei with her finger and said in a low voice, “I think we should have killed him when we had the chance.”
Han Fei grinned. “It’s okay. He can’t be a threat to us.”
The presidents of the three major academies, plus Old Bai and the mayor, were standing in the middle, discussing something.
Wu Junwei asked, “Haven’t we agreed that all the students in the Thug Academy will be qualified for the next round directly? Why do you still come here?”
Old Bai said proudly, “Our school doesn’t want to muddle through.”
Xu Tianji looked around. “Bai Congye, do you think this is interesting? Do you want Han Fei and the others to participate in this competition?”
Old Bai said with piercing eyes, “I’ve limited their strength, OK? They are not allowed to use spiritual beasts, contractual spiritual beasts, spiritual weapons, or secret methods… What else do you want?” Chu Mengxue was shocked. “Really?” Wu Junwei snorted. “Bai Congye, you and I know that they don’t need to participate. If your Thug Academy wants to make a name, you can fight at the 36-town exchange competition. They don’t need to participate in this competition today, OK?”
Old Bai sneered. “If the Thug Academy can’t even regain our footing in the Blue Sea Town, how can we participate in the following competitions?”
The four presidents were in a stalemate, and the mayor tried to mediate the dispute. “Well, let’s take a step back. The three academies will compete according to the original plan, and the Thug Academy won’t participate but will be ranked as the top five.”
Old Bai protested, “That’s no good! If we don’t even participate, how can we be ranked as the top?”
The mayor smiled. “Mr. Bai, listened to me. Although the Thug Academy does not participate, the people in the three major academies can still challenge them.”
Chu Mengxue added, “They can’t use their spiritual beasts or contractual spiritual beasts, as well as their spiritual weapons or secret methods.”
Old Bai said contemptuously, “No problem, but at least two people in each of your schools should go challenge them, or else why did we bother to come here today?”
Wu Junwei and Xu Tianji glanced at each other, acquiescing the proposal. In fact, they also wanted to see how far Han Fei and the other four had gone. The rumors from the level-three fishery were too exaggerated. These five children killed a Hanging Fisher guarding a dragon boat? How could it be?
After a moment.
Old Bai came back and sighed. “I have tried my best, but these people are as timid as mice, refusing that we participate…”
Le Renkuang said cheerfully, “It’s great to be in the top five without having to fight!”
Old Bai snorted. “Nonsense, It’s best to win on your own strength.”
Han Fei asked, “Hadn’t they already made a ranking since we returned from the Fiery Mountain?”
Old Bai said, “That’s different. This time there will be audiences coming to watch.” “There will be audiences?”
Everyone looked at each other. So Old Bai, you just want to show off our strength, right?
Old Bai said reluctantly, “Forget it. Later, when the competition starts, we will sit at the nearest place and wait for them to challenge
us.”
Everyone: “???”
Han Fei suggested, “President, I think we’d better go back and then I can use this time to comprehend the knife intent.”
Zhang Xuanyu also nodded. “President, isn’t it a bit improper for us to sit and watch them fight?”
Luo Xiaobai agreed. “Well, President, can I go back to cultivate?”
Old Bai turned his head and glanced at them. “Who dares to go? You will fight on behalf of the Blue Sea Town. I’ll see who dares to go!”
Everyone: “…”
After about half an hour, many Blue Sea town residents poured into the martial arts ground one after another.
Everyone was attracted by the in-town qualifiers of the 36-town exchange competition. When the whole martial arts field was full of people, the game officially started. The fighting matches would be decided by drawing lots, but it had nothing to do with Han Fei and the others. Old Bai and Wenren Yu sat on the judges’ bench.
As forced by Old Bai, Han Fei and the other four each took a stone and sat right under the judges’ bench on the martial arts field. They sat so close to the arena that as long as they moved their feet, they could enter the arena.
Many people were surprised. “Are those people from the Thug Academy? Why are they sitting so close to the arena?”
Someone wondered, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard about the Thug Legend team. Isn’t it said that they are in the level-three fishery? What are they doing there?”
Someone shouted, “Hey! Han Fei, what are you doing on the martial arts field?”
Someone laughed. “Are you so desperate to join in?” At this time, the mayor suddenly coughed. “Well, everyone, be quiet. Before the game, after a comprehensive assessment by the four academies and me, Han Fei, Xia Xiaochan, Luo Xiaobai, Le Renkuang, and Zhang Xuanyu from the Thug Academy, the top five in this competition, will represent the Blue Sea Town to join the next round competition. At the same time…”
Before the mayor finished speaking, there was uproar off the field.
“Why?”
“But the game hasn’t started yet. Why are they already ranked as the top five?”.
“The top ten seats have been occupied by half. What’s the point of the game?”
“We don’t admit these top five.”
“Yes, me neither…”
There were yells and shouts off the field, and they insisted on the Thug Legend team to join the war.
The mayor shouted, “Everyone, quiet. Listen to me. Anyone from the other three academies can challenge any one of the top five students at any time. The winner will be listed in the top five. There is no limit to the number of challenges… And the Thug Legend team will not be allowed to use their spiritual beats, contractual spiritual beast, secret methods, or spiritual weapons, etc… Also, they cannot reject any challenge…”
