128: Hu Bingbing: If I can catch this water monster, I can brag about it to my fishing friends for the rest of my life!
As the dismissal bell rang, and the homeroom teacher, who had been dragging class, finally announced dismissal and left, Celestial Honored One Wang's previously tense body finally relaxed.
However, just as he returned to his seat to drink water, his phone rang in his pocket.
Wang Cao was startled, then took out his phone to see that it was Lan Kun calling.
Seeing the caller ID, Wang Cao's previously indifferent expression immediately became serious.
Heh heh, is it time for this Tianzun to save the world again!
He casually answered the call, but before he could speak, Lan Kun's voice came through the phone.
"Little Brother Wang, are you free now?"
"I am currently comprehending the Dao of the Sword. If it weren't for your call, I would have almost forgotten the time..."
Then a class bell rang: "Class time is here, students, please return to your seats!"
Lan Kun's voice came through the phone with confusion: "Comprehending the Dao of the Sword? But why do I hear a class bell?"
Wang Cao: "..."
Damn! Can this Lan Kun not talk!
"Forget it!"
Lan Kun on the phone no longer dwelled on the topic and directly said: "Just now, the satellite captured an evolved water monster appearing in the Tianshui River in the City next to you. It is now heading towards the river area outside the Capital City."
The Tianshui River and the river outside the Capital City are the same river. Jiangcheng is not far from the Capital City, with only two Cities in between.
"Currently, everyone in the Special Affairs Handling Bureau has their own matters, and they are also quite far away. You are the closest! If you are free now, eliminate that water monster before it causes any damage!"
"Consider it the Special Affairs Handling Bureau owing you a favor, how about it?"
Hearing this, Wang Cao raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Just a mere water monster, huh? It just so happens that recently this Venerable One feels his Dao of the Sword has advanced quite a bit. I'll use it to test my sword!"
On the other end of the phone, Lan Kun, who was still in the East Sea, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Wang Cao's reply.
Sea beasts have also appeared on the East Sea side, and quite a few of them this time.
If he waited until the matters here were resolved before going to eliminate the water monster in the Tianshui River, it would probably be too late!
So there was no choice; he could only ask Wang Cao, who was the closest, for help.
And he was the only one who had saved Wang Cao's contact number, so he might as well make the call.
However, just as Lan Kun was about to hang up the phone and continue dealing with the sea beasts in front of him, several voices suddenly came from the phone.
"Class has already started, Wang Cao, what are you doing in the teacher's office? And you're holding a phone? Students aren't allowed to bring phones to school, don't you know this rule!"
"Old Ban, I need to ask for leave."
"Hmm? Why are you asking for leave? Did something urgent happen? Did your family call you with an important matter?"
"No! My companion is calling me; I need to go to the Tianshui River to slay a water monster that is about to cause chaos."
"Not approved!"
"Click, beep beep beep..."
The call was hung up there.
Lan Kun looked at his phone with a bewildered expression: "What's going on?"
...
Time passed bit by bit!
At the river outside the Capital City, after a brief experience with her abilities, Hu Bingbing was secretly delighted, and she no longer had any thoughts of fishing.
However, just as Hu Bingbing finished her experience and was packing up her fishing gear to leave, a translucent crescent-shaped Sword Qi suddenly struck down from the sky, directly hitting the river surface!
The powerful force split the river surface, creating an opening more than twenty meters long and two to three meters wide, even directly cutting into the riverbed, shaking the entire surrounding ground.
A large amount of water splashed, drenching the old fishermen who were fishing on the river into drowned chickens.
However, before they could react, a beast roar suddenly came from the river, and a black fish, over four meters long and with countless sharp teeth in its mouth, shot out of the water.
When it fell back into the water, the sound it made was deafening, and the entire river surface was stirred up.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! What the hell is this?"
One of the novice fishermen was so scared that he peed his pants when he saw this scene, and even some veterans' faces changed drastically at this moment.
However, Hu Bingbing, who was originally packing up her fishing gear to leave, instantly lit up when she saw this black fish.
She took out her fishing gear again and set it up.
While doing so, she kept muttering: "Catch it! I must catch it!!"
"Hey! Little Hu, are you crazy? Aren't you going to run!"
The Fellow Daoist at the closest fishing spot was running away with his equipment. As he passed Hu Bingbing's fishing spot, he saw Hu Bingbing holding an extra-large fishing hook, seemingly baiting it.
He was completely numb.
"No! You guys go first, I feel like there's a bite..."
Hu Bingbing said as she baited the hook, ready to cast, not even looking at the Fellow Daoist.
Seeing Hu Bingbing's excited expression, the Fellow Daoist glanced at the churning water monster in the river and swallowed hard!
Damn!
I'm truly unworthy of the title of a fishing enthusiast; I'm not even as good as a girl!
Then he put down his fishing gear, took out an extra-thick fishing line, and walked towards Hu Bingbing.
"Your line is too thin, use mine! It can withstand over a thousand catties of force, try wrapping it a few more times!"
Just as they were still discussing changing the fishing line and catching the water monster, Wang Cao flew down from the sky with his bamboo stick in hand, stopping at a height of twenty meters above the water.
"Hmph! A mere water monster, an ant, yet it made this Venerable One chase for so long. Its speed is quite good!"
"It's just... delaying this Venerable One's comprehension of the Dao of the Sword. You ants deserve to die ten thousand times over!!"
After speaking, he shook the bamboo stick in his hand, and a large amount of Sword Qi burst out, following Wang Cao's swing, turning into countless transparent Sword Blades that stabbed towards the water monster on the surface.
"Boom boom boom!!"
The water surface instantly exploded, and the river water became murky.
On the river surface, although the water monster's figure could not be seen, blood still appeared, directly dyeing the water red.
Seeing this scene, Hu Bingbing, who was fishing for the water monster by the river, became angry.
Good heavens!
You've stirred up the river water; where will there be a bite now? How am I supposed to fish!
This was a black fish over four meters long!
If she caught it, it would be enough for her to brag about to her Fellow Daoists for a lifetime...
In her anger, she instinctively swung a Wind Blade towards Wang Cao in the sky.
"Hmm?"
Wang Cao quickly sensed it and casually waved the bamboo stick in his hand, directly dispersing the Wind Blade.
"Oh? There's a Fellow Daoist here!"
Wang Cao looked at Hu Bingbing by the river, his eyes slightly surprised.
However, after sensing Hu Bingbing's strength, he shook his head in disappointment: "Your strength is too weak!"
"I had intended to discuss the Dao with you, but it seems there's no need to waste time..."
Hu Bingbing, with her fiery temper, retorted: "You talk so big, why don't you take off your school uniform then!"
