54: Chapter 53 Heading to the Provincial Competition!! Strange School of Fish!!

In the middle of the night, inside the Yang family courtyard, the lights were brightly lit.

Sun Po looked at the huffing Yang Xinyue and scratched his head embarrassedly:

"Sister Xinyue, your strikes are quite ruthless. I just reacted a bit faster, isn't that self-defense?"

"You were wearing clothes like a tin can at home in the middle of the night, I thought a thief broke into the house."

Yang Xinyue rubbed her sore bottom from the fall.

Although in the [Meditation Seal] state, the surrounding time was stationary,

but after the [Meditation Seal] ended, Yang Xinyue fell directly in a free fall.

Someone lacking situational awareness didn't go to catch her either, just watching Yang Xinyue pathetically crash onto the ground,

This actually made Yang Xinyue somewhat angry.

But besides being angry, she really understood her student less and less.

When did this kid get time-type abilities again?

You must know that this kind of heaven-defying exclusive talent has not appeared many times even in human history.

But Yang Xinyue had no heart to care about these at this moment,

she knew Sun Po's talent was heaven-defying and he had numerous trump cards, so it wouldn't be strange whatever he came up with.

She yawned and said: "Alright, this lady is going to sleep."

Sun Po called out to her instead:

"Sister Xinyue, give [Yang Wulang] to me, I found a material very suitable for him."

Yang Xinyue's back paused for a moment without turning back:

"Get a good rest, tomorrow you still have to go to Jinyang to participate in the provincial tournament, this matter is not urgent."

Sun Po grabbed Yang Xinyue:

"Sister Xinyue, listen to me this time, [Yang Wulang]..."

Before Sun Po finished speaking, he suddenly felt his body lose balance, his whole person flipping over.

Afterwards,

"Smack!"

Sun Po was heavily slammed to the ground by Yang Xinyue with a shoulder throw.

Sun Po looked up at Yang Xinyue in astonishment,

Yang Xinyue smiled proudly:

"That's damn right, that'll teach you not to catch this lady!"

A dark purple card appeared in her hand, she bent down and stuffed it into Sun Po's arms, smiling and saying:

"Work hard for this lady~"

Sun Po looked at the card in his arms, shook his head, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

...

The next day, around three or four in the afternoon,

Sun Po was woken up by the ferry's whistle. Opening his eyes, he saw Liu Jianren beside him sleeping like a dead pig.

At this time, Sun Po had already boarded the ferry heading to the provincial tournament venue.

Last night, he ultimately still helped Yang Xinyue complete the MOD loading of [Yang Wulang]. When it was finished, it was already dawn.

Sun Po therefore did not wake Yang Xinyue up,

but instead left the MOD-loaded [Yang Wulang] on the table and left alone.

After all, these past few days Yang Xinyue was so busy her feet barely touched the ground,

and she didn't have time to watch Sun Po and Liu Jianren participate in the provincial tournament.

Thus, early in the morning, Sun Po went to Liu Jianren's house, and together with Liu Jianren, boarded the ferry heading to the provincial tournament venue—Jinyang City.

The two of them had great tacit understanding; they fell asleep as soon as they boarded the ship, and didn't wake up until the afternoon.

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the room.

Sun Po originally still had some sleepiness, but it was dispersed quite a bit by this commotion.

Even Liu Jianren on the side was woken up:

"Brother Po? What happened?"

Sun Po shook his head and walked to the deck, only to see Xu Xiu, holding a sword with a stinky face, also looking at the water surface in front of the deck.

Sun Po hadn't seen her since their finals match last time. He heard that she hadn't been idle this past week either, but instead went to train in her family's secret realm.

"Brother Po! Holy crap! So many fish!!"

Sun Po gazed at the river surface.

The river surface was extremely wide, but at this moment it was filled with densely packed fish.

Countless schools of fish vied to leap out of the water, silver light flashed dazzlingly across the entire river surface, forming a magnificent sight.

Even many fish were not just leaping out of the water, but directly jumping onto the shore.

Tourists had even started picking up landing nets and the like to catch them.

"Such fat fish!!"

"Whoa! Saberfish! You can't usually catch these in the Grand Canal! Quick! Get the landing nets!!"

"Wife, look at this fish of mine, come! Help me take a photo!"

A man holding a big fish weighing about a hundred catties, full of smiles, asked his wife to take a photo of him as a memento.

The crew members on the ferry had already started casting nets to catch them, and the entire ship was instantly filled with a thick fishy smell.

Liu Jianren on the side was also tempted, and instigated:

"Brother Po? Aren't we going to get some? These fish look pretty good."

But alarm bells were ringing loudly in Sun Po's heart at this moment, and he quickly averted his gaze, no longer looking at these fish schools.

Turning his head, he happened to meet Xu Xiu's gaze eye-to-eye. Xu Xiu spoke:

"Sun Po, what do you think?"

Sun Po shook his head:

"I don't like eating fish."

Xu Xiu hugged her sword and glanced coldly:

"Diverting from the topic, I'm talking about this school of fish."

Sun Po retorted:

"How does the eldest lady of the Xu Family see it?"

Xu Xiu frowned slightly:

"You are such an unforthcoming person, I haven't settled the score with you for ruining my [Water-Severing] last time!"

Sun Po thought to himself:

Truly a villain complaining first. As a swordsman with a clear sword heart, this Xu Xiu was the truly unforthcoming one.

First coming over to fish for information to test Sun Po, and when failing to fish for information, saying he is unforthcoming? Bringing up old accounts again? Truly utterly unreasonable.

Sun Po didn't spoil her either:

"Want to fight again?"

After all, he could now merge with his armor at the slightest disagreement, and this was still on the surface of the Grand Canal.

The [Mystic Armor Suppresses the Rough Waves] trait of the [Black Rhino Armor] could be brought to its absolute limit, totally crushing the mere Xu Xiu.

Xu Xiu snorted, in the end the long sword in her hand still didn't leave its sheath, instead she said coldly:

"The Grand Canal connects north and south with a long history. This ominous omen of fish schools leaving the water has only appeared three times in history, and every time major events happened.

Also, watch your friend, don't touch these fish, these fish are not right."

Sun Po had a head full of black question marks.

"Why does it feel like Xu Xiu's brain got scrambled after fighting in the finals? Playing both sides?"

You say she's friendly, yet she comes up with a stinky face to fish for your information, and when she can't fish it out, she brings up old scores.

But you say she's hostile to you? She still gives you a reminder as she leaves?

This contradictory approach also confused Sun Po.

But what Sun Po didn't know was that,

after the finals, Xu Xiu's [Water-Severing] was actually unable to be summoned.

It was within this week that Xu Xiu had another fortuitous encounter within the secret realm, which allowed her to recover and even go a step further.

Right after the match ended, everyone up and down the Xu Family rushed to go find Sun Po to exact revenge,

but the head of the Xu Family said:

"My Xu Family is inferior in skill, we should just step up our own cultivation. When did we ever need to bully the few with the many like this?

Xiu'er's own enemies, she will win back uprightly!

Anyone who dares to mention revenge again will be dealt with by clan rules!"

In the end, the clan members had no choice but to drop it.

At the same time, they also admonished Xu Xiu to try her best to be friends with Sun Po and not be enemies.

The reason might be because of the legend of the Six-Eared auspicious beast, or maybe because of something else, it was unknown.

But Xu Xiu looked at Sun Po and felt an inexplicable mismatch in their aura, hence this twisted situation appeared.

Eyesore, yet trying her best to be friends with him?

But Sun Po couldn't care about her rich psychological activities,

Sun Po only knew that these fish were indeed very wrong.

From the very first glance at the fish school, [Changyou] had already operated the [Truth-Breaking Golden Eyes] in the water mansion.

At the same time, [Changyou] warned in its heart:

"Master! It's calamity qi! And something else! Be careful!"
