The Sovereign’s Ascension

what Lord Thirteen said, this meant that the fish wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
After he adjusted his mood, Lin Yun grabbed onto the fishing rod tightly.
With that, he began his fight with the fish.

Lin Yun wasn’t without an advantage because the fish had to be cautious if it wanted to eat the bait.
Suddenly, Lin Yun’s eyes lit up with a faint smile rising on his lips.
So Lord Thirteen have already told him the key information, the fish wouldn’t give up unless it eats the bait completely.
Since that was the case, then he could use it against the fish.

Left! Lin Yun swung the fishing rod to the left, and he could sense the undercurrent beneath the lake.

Right! Before the fish swam to the right, Lin Yun swung the rod again, which the fish bolted out to the right.

After Lin Yun gradually grasped the rhytumn, he tightened his grip on the rod and yanked it backwards.
In his hand, the fishing rod began to dance, and Lin Yun swung the fishing rod out like a sword.
For a split second, he was so submerged in it that he forgot he was holding onto a fishing rod.
It felt as if he was fighting someone with a sword instead.

The fish began to feel annoyed under the water and unleashed a powerful pull.

“This again?” A smile rose on Lin Yun’s face, and he poured his origin energy onto his feet to stabilize his footing on the boat, resolving half of the pulling force.

“Let’s teach you a lesson!” Lin Yun controlled the fishing boat, and the boat shot out like an arrow on the lake.
Under the two opposite forces, the string became tightly stretched.

“It’s not time yet…” Lin Yun calmed down.
He knew that he had to wait for the fish to lower its guard after it eats the bait.
Right now, he could give the fish pressure, but he can’t force it into putting up a desperate struggle.

The boat made a circle around the lake, and the fishing pole sank down.

“Interesting…” Lord Thirteen smiled at the back of the boat.
Compared to the torrential waves earlier, he knew that this calmness now was even more dangerous.
The two of them were fighting with their wits and courage.
After all, using brute force would only fail miserably. 

Suddenly, Lin Yun felt the pull suddenly disappearing, and his face changed.
Was the fish going to leave? But it had yet to eat the bait, and it had clearly predicted Lin Yun’s thoughts.

“You think you can go so easily?” Just when Lin Yun was going to explode all his strength, he suddenly felt something amiss.
This fish was greedy, and it had never let go of the bait even when they were having a tough fight earlier.
So would it really let go of the bait now?

There might not be much of the bait left, but it was the essence of the beast core.
Lin Yun sanked his heart down and suppressed the urge to explode his strength.
He allowed the fish to break free from the hook and sank into the water.

“Brat, you’re going to pay me back one,” smiled Lord Thirteen.
The fish king was clearly intelligent, so Lin Yun wanted to give it a try.
He wanted the fish to underestimate him for him to catch it by surprise.

“Is that so? Then I’ll pay you back with one fish king then!” A smile rose on Lin Yun’s lips, and he yanked the fishing rod back.

Just when Lord Thirteen was feeling baffled, a ferocious undercurrent rippled beneath the water, and the fish king bolted out of the lake.

“This damn fish!” Lord Thirteen slapped on his thigh.
So it turns out that this fish had no intentions to give up in the first place.
It knew that Lin Yun was waiting for it to devour the bait, and it pretended to leave to lower Lin Yun’s guards.

However, Lin Yun had already expected that move.
When the fish king flew out of the lake, Lin Yun swung the fishing rod out like a sword.
He soared into the sky and spun.
In that split second, his hair fluttered in the wind, and he unleashed the sword intent that he had been accumulating within his body.

A huge wave swept out on the lake, and when Lin Yun landed back down, eighteen water geysers shot out from his back.
Gazing at the fish, Lin Yun stabbed the fishing rod forth at the fish’s throat, killing it instantly.
