Fang Yun held the fishing rod in his hand and could clearly feel that the fishing rod had become different, and he got a message from it.
As long as the fish's mouth is within one inch of the hook, the hook will immediately hook it. As long as the fish is within two inches of the hook, the hook will injure it and slow it down.
Fang Yun suddenly realized after seeing it, this "time is money" has been transformed into the power of the fishhook, which can directly catch fish within one inch and hurt fish within two inches. In the ocean of knowledge, this is equivalent to a holy treasure!
The powers enhanced by learning poetry are varied and even summarized in books, but I have never heard of anyone whose fishing hook can span a space of one or even two inches.
These one or two inches may seem short, and not much different from before, but in many cases it is the difference between catching something and not catching it.
The most important thing is not to extend the distance, but to be able to "definitely" catch or injure the fish within the distance.
Without the new ability, due to angle issues, sometimes the back of the fishhook would be useless when it hits the Chinese Oncidium difficile fish. But with this ability, the space within one inch and two inches in diameter of the fishhook will become a forbidden area for Chinese Oncidium difficile fish!
And there are nine fish hooks!
With the new ability, the Dragon Scale Fishing Rod's fishing success rate has increased a thousand times!
Fang Yun smiled slightly, joy flashing in his eyes, and without caring about what others thought, he continued to swing the rod to practice fishing.
When he was still three miles away from the open sea, Fang Yun discovered a fish on the left and right sides. Without hesitation, he cast his rod towards the nearest Wenxin fish on the left.
The Chinese mackerel was very alert, and the hook finally landed an inch and a half away from it, which should have been a failure.
However, one of the fish hooks suddenly emitted a golden light, and the Wenxin fish actually slowed down!
Fang Yun retracted the fishing hook and line and cast it out again.
The hook landed on the fish's head and missed its mouth. It should have failed, but the hook was less than an inch away from the fish's mouth!
Then a fishhook flashed with golden light, dragging the fishing line into the fish's mouth at an incredible speed and firmly hooked the Wenxin fish!
Even a fishing master who has practiced for decades can't hook the fish in a better position than this one!
Fang Yun pulled hard. The fishing line was quickly retracted, and the four-inch-long white mullet seemed to fly out of the water, flapping its tail and rushing straight towards Fang Yun.
"Fang Xusheng has caught a Wenxin fish!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked at Fang Yun.
A loud shout came from Zong Lei's fleet: "Unhook! Unhook!"
"Despicable!" Li Fanming couldn't help but curse back.
The people in Fang Yun's fleet loudly rebuked and cursed Zong Shibing for Fang Yun's failure, saying that he had no cultivation of a scholar at all and was worse than a gangster.
If the fishhook is not positioned correctly, the fish may become unhooked.
The Wenxin fish was pulled towards Fang Yun by the fishhook. Finally, Fang Yun stretched out his left hand and grabbed it steadily.
"Good!" Many scholars applauded loudly!
"Fang Xusheng was on such a fast boat. The distance was so far, but he caught the fish in just two casts. Those filthy fellows must be very disappointed!"
"It's probably the power of that learning poem. What's the speed? Learning is a test of many aspects! Huh? It seems that someone said this!"
"Fang Xusheng, what kind of Wenxin fish is that?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Ordinary 'steady as a rock'."
"Fang Xusheng is too modest. This is a good thing! It can stabilize your talent for a certain period of time, and you can use war poems continuously for a long time. The literary light also recovers quickly, which is more popular than the previous 'Misfortune comes from the mouth'!"
"About four and a half inches, right?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "It's four inches and nine inches long. But I don't need it. After the competition is over, I'll give it to whoever needs such a long and stable fish."
"Saint Fang Xu is indeed as generous and kind as the rumors say!"
Everyone praised him, saying that compared with the Zong and Lei families, Fang Yun was simply a model of literati.
No matter how many of these less than five feet long Steady as a Mount Tai fish he swallowed, he could only get a lower-grade Steady as a Mount Tai. If Fang Yun ate them first and then encountered a ten-foot-long high-grade Steady as a Mount Tai fish, even if he swallowed it, he would only get a slightly better lower-grade Steady as a Mount Tai Wenxin. He would have to eat nine more high-grade Steady as a Mount Tai fish to get his lower-grade Wenxin promoted to a mid-grade one.
Fang Yun took the Wenxin fish off the hook, and the Wenxin fish was immediately surrounded by a bubble that appeared out of thin air and floated above Fang Yun's head.
Fang Yong flicked his hand, and the bubble wrapped around the Wenxin fish flew to other places on the dragon boat, floating gently but never flying out of the boat.
Fang Yun cannot eat the Wenxin fish now. After the competition is over, this fish will be the final winner.
Lei Longkuo's sarcastic voice came from the direction of Zong Lei's fleet.
"Congratulations to Fang Xusheng, congratulations to Fang Xusheng. The more fish Fang Xusheng catches, the more Wenxin fish we will get after we win!"
Soon, Lei Mo's ship, which had gained the ability to charge, surpassed Fang Yun and was the first to enter the darker outer sea.
Afterwards, Fang Yun's dragon boat crossed the boundary between the coastal area and the open sea, parted the waves, and officially entered the open sea.
The sea in the coastal area is as calm as a mirror, but here the waves are rising and falling, hitting the side of the boat, making a splashing sound.
The dragon boat began to sway slightly, and the speed slowed down a little. Fang Yun stood on the dragon head. The strong sea breeze even affected his hearing and vision, and sometimes he had to squint slightly. The color of the sea water became darker, and the waves were surging, making it more difficult to find Wenxin fish in the sea water.
However, every Wenxin fish here is bigger!
This is just the edge of the open sea, and it is still a long way from the end of the open sea. The further inland you go, the stronger the wind and the faster the waves.
The subsequent ships entered the open sea one after another. Most of them began to slow down, but the speed of a small number of ships remained unchanged!
Some of the tower ships are faster than the dragon ships!
Fang Yun then understood that although these ships did not gain the new ability to accelerate after the second round of learning poems, they gained the ability to break through the wind and waves, so the speed of the ships remained unchanged.
Fang Yun's dragon boat retreated to the second line, and the four university scholars' ships began to lead the way in the open sea.
Seeing his dragon boat being overtaken by so many tower ships, a shadow flashed in Fang Yun's eyes.
The race in the ocean of knowledge is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you will fall behind!
When everyone is making progress, but you are standing still, looking at those backs, you will be under endless pressure.
The large ship continued to move forward, but even though the sailboat was in the lane of the first three types of ships, it was getting farther and farther away from the large ship in front. It would be out of the lane in two quarters of an hour at most. It could not rely on the power of the large ship and could only sail on its own.
The canoes and small boats were pushed by the wind and waves in the open sea, and their speed was as slow as an old man walking unsteadily.
After the raft was brought into the open sea by the waterway, it not only did not move forward, but was mostly pushed backwards by the waves and finally pushed back to the seaside area!
Only a very small number of rafts were still moving slowly forward because of the power of the second poem "Cherishing Learning". Although they would be separated from Fang Yun's fleet, they could at least fish in the open sea.
Some are happy, some are sad.
An old scholar on the raft put away his frustrated look, faced forward, and said with a bow: "Thank you Fang Xusheng, thank you literary friends in front!"
The people on the other rafts, canoes and small boats also bowed and expressed their gratitude in eloquent words.
"Goodbye everyone, see you at the beach!" Fang Yun said loudly.
"Fang Xusheng, you must not lose to those bastards!"
"If they get so many Wenxin fish, the human race will be in trouble!"
"You represent the correct direction for the human race!"
"Sheng Fangxu will win!"
