Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

As they spoke, Yi Tian caught another Agile Celestial Dao Fish.

Yi Tian planned to catch a dozen more Celestial Dao Fish before attempting the S-level Celestial Dao Fish.

After reeling in five more Celestial Dao Fish, an hour was about to pass.

A new Water Beast was about to appear.

Yi Tian wasn’t afraid, but he worried the fishing line might get destroyed by the Water Beast at the bottom of the lake.

He stored the Celestial Dao Fishing Rod into his Storage Ring, stood atop the water, and waited for the Water Beast to descend.

"Splash..."

The sound of water echoed beneath his feet.

A bloody maw opened wide, aiming to devour Yi Tian.

"Water Beast, Power 4350, Physique 4350, Agility 4350, Beastly Might LV.1."

This time, the Water Beast had Beastly Might.

But in front of Yi Tian, it still wasn’t enough!

"Pshht!"

Yi Tian shot an Ice Arrow straight into the Water Beast’s mouth.

Once this thing was captured, the Celestial Dao Rules would count it as defeated—no way to exploit a bug here.

The moment the Water Arrow pierced through the Water Beast, it turned into gray mist, merging with the water.

Now he could happily fish for another hour.

This hour, he caught seven Celestial Dao Fish, including two Spirit Celestial Dao Fish.

The Water Beast appeared for the third time.

Beastly Might LV.2!

If it was just Beastly Might, Yi Tian could handle up to LV.30 without fear. He only worried about extra tricks being thrown in.

Time passed—now it was after 6 p.m.

Yi Tian slew another Water Beast with Beastly Might LV.4.

Every hour, he could catch five or six Celestial Dao Fish.

In total, he caught fifty A-level Celestial Dao Fish.

For S-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Yi Tian used the petals of the Seven-Colored Lotus.

The Seven-Colored Lotus could heal even shattered bones for S-level or below cultivators.

Yi Tian had a total of fourteen of this S-level Spirit Flower.

He folded a single petal carefully and hooked it onto the fishing hook.

Eight minutes later.

"Pop!"

The bobber plunged underwater.

Yi Tian raised the fishing rod and immediately felt a massive force tangling with him.

Suddenly, Yi Tian noticed a gray mist crawling along the fishing line toward the rod.

"Crack!"

"Hoo!"

In a flash, the white mist transformed into a bolt of lightning and a blaze of fire, rushing at Yi Tian.

Yi Tian narrowed his eyes—it was only about six thousand Attack Power.

He didn’t dodge; instead, a yellow earthen light shield rose around him.

Level 14 Mysteries of Earth, Fourfold Earth True Intent, easily blocked those two attacks.

Afterward, the gray mist on the rod and line vanished.

The rod was bent like a bow, but Yi Tian could feel both rod and line were sturdy.

This Celestial Dao Fish lacked the power to destroy Yi Tian’s fishing rod.

He slowly reeled it in. After about a minute, a palm-sized Celestial Dao Fish emerged from the water’s surface.

With a flick of his wrist, the Celestial Dao Fish soared into Yi Tian’s left palm.

"Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish. Consume to gain +6 Spiritual Power..."

That’s two points more than an A-level Celestial Dao Fish.

This Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish thrashed its tail violently in Yi Tian’s palm.

"That attack earlier wasn’t launched by the fish—it was a mini-test set by the Celestial Dao Rules. Only after passing do you get to reel in the Celestial Dao Fish."

He tossed the Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish to the Little Kiddo on shore and continued on.

"Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, once you’ve strengthened forty-five times, you can go for S-level Celestial Dao Fish. S-level Celestial Dao Fish will trigger some minor attacks, so keep your eyes open." Yi Tian immediately sent this info to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

Even though Yi Tian had strengthened over fifty times, he felt forty-five was plenty.

"Got it! Why are you so fast! I got a Diamond Treasure Chest at B-level, and two King’s Treasure Chests at A-level—you?"

Also reeling in fish, sometimes Yi Tian could land one in five or six minutes.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance usually needed at least ten minutes.

This was the effect of Luck!

"My luck’s not that great, both King’s Treasure Chests came from Celestial Dao Fish below A-level," Yi Tian replied to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

"It’s still early—only one day has passed. And with your Territory Points, S-level guarantees a Venerable Treasure Chest." Purple Phoenix Moon Dance didn’t notice Yi Tian downplaying.

"I’ll take your blessing!"

This time the wait was longer, nearly ten minutes.

As Yi Tian pulled up the rod, a Spiritual Attack shot up from the water’s depths.

A Seven-Colored Shield appeared before Yi Tian, blocking the attack.

"Purple Phoenix Moon Dance called it!"

As a Spirit Celestial Dao Fish was reeled in, a trace of Zijin Guang flashed.

Zijin Guang—the symbol of the Venerable Treasure Chest.

"Congratulations, Lord, you’ve obtained a Venerable Treasure Chest*1."

The Venerable Treasure Chest had just touched the water when it tried to sink to the bottom.

Yi Tian immediately reached out, drawing it into his hand, then storing it in his Storage Ring.

He’d open it later!

In a flash, it was already 11:30 p.m.

Just now Yi Tian had slain a Water Beast with Beastly Might LV.8.

Apart from Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish and Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish, he’d also caught Power Celestial Dao Fish, Agile Celestial Dao Fish, Physical Celestial Dao Fish—but there’d been no Attack Power fish yet.

Another key point: when fishing for S-level Celestial Dao Fish, it took fifteen minutes to catch a single one.

Yi Tian confirmed with Purple Phoenix Moon Dance—the higher the Celestial Dao Fish’s rank, the slower the bite.

Yi Tian’s A-level Celestial Dao Fish had bit fast before; that was just lucky.

Yi Tian chalked it up to Fortune!

Territory Fortune: 180%.

Yi Tian asked Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, and she said her territory had no Fortune yet, but she did get a Junior Dragon Ascension Platform Design Map. Yi Tian suggested that when she had time, she should build it.

Even Purple Phoenix Moon Dance didn’t have Fortune, let alone other Lords.

Yi Tian paused for now.

He took the Kiddos back to the villa, practiced with the Demon Slaying Blade, then opened the Venerable Treasure Chest.

Pulling an all-nighter was a must!

The Lords’ power was about to skyrocket!

At a time like this, whoever slacks off now will stay a slacker forever.

But that’s only for Celestial Pride.

In the Ordinary Region, people started cursing at the Celestial Daoist Old Thief again!

"Celestial Daoist Old Thief, you’ve screwed us again! The Water Beasts just keep getting stronger. When Beastly Might hit LV.4, I had to rally every member in my territory to desperately fight for an hour just to get another hour of fishing! Now a Beastly Might LV.5 Water Beast showed up—what am I supposed to do?! Three-dimensional stat 220, and now it has special skills too! I’ve only fished up three Celestial Dao Treasure Chests."
