There were similarities between fishing in the sea of learning and ordinary fishing, but there were also huge differences.
Fang Yun held the Dragon Scale Fishing Rod and looked ahead carefully. Not long later, a three and a half feet long Wen Xin Fish appeared in front of him. The dragon boat was sailing at an extremely fast speed and would soon collide with it.
Fang Yun's eyes narrowed. He gripped the fishing rod tightly and threw it forward. The white fishing line flew out at an extremely fast speed and continued to elongate. Nine shiny hooks flashed with cold light as they drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the water.
The nine fish hooks were close to the Wen Xin Fish, and each hook was a foot apart. As long as any of the hooks could hook onto the Wen Xin Fish, it would leave a wound on the Wen Xin Fish's body and slow it down. However, to truly catch the Wen Xin Fish, the hook had to hook onto its mouth.
This was Fang Yun's first time learning how to fish in the sea. He didn't understand the boat's speed, the Wen Xin Fish's speed, the depth of the water resistance, the speed of the fishing rod, and other aspects. Even with nine fish hooks, he still couldn't touch the Wen Xin Fish. The nearest fish hook was a full two feet away from the Wen Xin Fish.
Fang Yun suddenly pulled hard, and the fishing line rapidly shortened. It returned to its original state in a breath's time, and the fishing line that was exposed was less than three feet long.
At this moment, the fish was already frightened and turned around. The dragon boat was still sailing at high speed, and this caused the Wen Xin Fish's position to change to the right side of the dragon boat.
Fang Yun stood on the dragon's head and quickly turned around to throw the fishing rod again with all his strength.
The fishing line flew out at an inconceivable speed and continued to extend. When the fish hook landed in the water, the fishing line was already sixty feet long.
The second time he threw the fishing rod, he still failed.
Fang Yun quickly retracted the fishing line and threw it out again. This time, the fishing line flew in the air for a long time before reaching the surface of the water. In the end, the fishing hook was a full three feet away from the Wen Xin Fish.
Fang Yun estimated that the fishing line was already three hundred feet long!
At this distance, no one could control it accurately.
Fang Yun retracted the fishing hook and closed his eyes. The process of the three fishing attempts kept replaying in his mind. He memorized every detail and concluded some patterns. After that, Fang Yun began to multitask. While observing the sea surface, he recalled the books about fishing and fishing that he had read before entering the academy.
Fang Yun's three attempts had all failed. Not only were the people in his fleet not disappointed, they were shocked by the length of Fang Yun's fishing line. This was because even the fishing line of the owner of a four-story ship was only five hundred feet long. Fang Yun had completely surpassed it.
The owners of Zong Lei Fleet in the distance heaved a long sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
"Haha! Uncle Cheng Bing was right. There were too many techniques needed to master the art of learning. Poetry was only one of the advantages! We, the disciples of the Holy Clans, have been in the world of literature since we were young. Imitating the sea of knowledge to create a new world. If you want us to learn how to fish, we would need at least ten years to barely pass. Even we would find it difficult to adapt to a new fishing rod, let alone him! "Zong Shibing laughed.
"At this level, even if you go to the heart of the sea, you'll return empty-handed. If he encounters the Instant Literary Heart, he will definitely miss it! "
"I feel more and more that competing with him is a mistake. If we lose, our Literary Heart Fish will belong to him. If we win, we won't get anything! "
The Zong and Lei families' tongues were like spring thunder, constantly mocking and ridiculing.
Fang Yun, however, turned a deaf ear and was not affected by them in the slightest.
After learning for a period of time, Fang Yun began to practice swinging his rod in the air. He imagined that the Literary Heart Fish would suddenly appear somewhere and then swing his rod to fish.
Time passed by minute by minute. Fang Yun seemed to have completely forgotten everything in the outside world. He continued to cast his rod and practice his fishing skills. If he encountered the Literary Heart Fish midway. He would still fish, but because the dragon boat was sailing at high speed, once it missed three times, it would go far away. As a result, Fang Yun did not catch a single Literary Heart Fish.
Not only Fang Yun, but all the ship owners who sailed at high speed could not catch the Literary Heart Fish.
After a full two hours, everyone saw that the darker color of the sea appeared in the distance. It was very eye-catching in contrast to the seaside area, leaving a clear color difference.
"We can see the outer sea!"
"The wind and waves there are so big. Waves that are three feet tall can be seen everywhere."
"Look, there are obviously more Literary Heart Fish here. I can see two or three at a glance!"
"We will fish here!"
Many people were excited, especially the owners of bamboo rafts, canoes, or small boats. They were the most clear-headed because they knew that they could only fish at the edge of the outer sea and could not go deep. The further they went, the stronger the wind and waves. Their small boats would be easily overturned.
The water in the Sea of Learning was not ordinary seawater. Once they entered the water, it was equivalent to failure and they would be sent back to the seaside.
An invisible force descended, and all the ships began to slow down. Soon after, the voice from before sounded again.
"Now, you can compose the second poem. Based on the content of the poem, the poem boat will be strengthened. The second round requires you to write the poem 'Cherishing Learning'."
As soon as the voice sounded, many people fell into deep thought.
Some ship owners did not keep up with the two fleets and did not complete one-tenth of the seaside area. However, they were the most excited. If they could write the next poem well and strengthen the poem boat, they might be able to enter the outer sea and get more Literary Heart Fish.
"Hahaha …"
As Fang Yun was thinking, he suddenly heard Lei Longkuo laughing loudly.
"Take a good look at my clan uncle Lei Mo's ship!"
Fang Yun and the others did the same. They turned their heads and saw that the appearance of Lei Mo's ship had changed. The three sails had become bigger, and there were more oars on both sides.
"Before entering the Sea of Learning, the Old Man was lucky enough to obtain a good poem 'Cherishing Learning' and officially composed it in the Sea of Learning. He did not expect the ship to have such a big change." Lei Mo stroked his beard with a smile. He did not appear too happy.
Lei Longkuo hurriedly asked, "Clan uncle, can you show us the new changes?"
"Then let's give it a try."
After Lei Mo finished speaking, his three-story ship shook heavily and suddenly accelerated like an arrow leaving the bow. It sprinted at a speed five times faster than Fang Yun's dragon boat, leaving behind surging waves behind. It charged for a full twenty breaths of time before stopping.
Everyone was shocked. Everyone knew that after the second poem was composed, the ship would change, but it was rare to see such a big change.
This ability to accelerate for a short period of time was not only suitable for long distance travel, but also had a huge effect when chasing Literary Heart Fish. As long as one's speed was fast enough, they could always get close to Literary Heart Fish. This meant that the number of times they cast the rod would increase, and the chances of catching Literary Heart Fish would increase greatly.
More importantly, when encountering large waves or typhoons in the deep sea, they could quickly dodge or rush past them. Just this function alone was enough to make up for the difference in speed between the dragon boat and the dragon boat.
"Clan uncle, how often can I use this sudden acceleration?"
"About once in two hundred breaths."
"Congratulations, clan uncle! We have already won this Sea of Learning competition! "
Everyone in Zong Lei's fleet cheered loudly.
Fang Yun's fleet was silent. Lei Mo's new ship was too powerful. Although it was not as good as the dragon boat, it had completely surpassed them in all other aspects.
