Chapter 819: Why Don’t You Exchange the Sea Quelling Painting For That?
Although Han Fei failed to figure out the middle-aged man’s identity, he was no longer anxious. Since the guy asked him to look for the painting, it was only reasonable that he charged a commission.
Only an idiot would have refused a free gift.
Besides, they were talking about divine techniques! Even though he was quite weak and could only learn how to predict dangers for now, it was still about foreseeing the future!
If he got stronger later, he might be better at the skill and could really perform these skills.
Han Fei was relieved. Not only must he learn the skill, but he also had to learn it well.
Han Fei asked, “Senior, when will we begin? How will you teach me?”
The middle-aged man replied with a smile, “There’s no need to rush. It’s dinnertime. Time for you to cook!”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei was not in the mood to make food at all. He simply made a hotpot and boiled vegetables in it.
The middle-aged man slightly shook his head but wasn’t annoyed, as they were still more delicious than what he had.
On the table, they had a level-65 Heavenly Spirit Ray. After only eating half a kilogram of meat, Han Fei was already having a nosebleed, and his head was a mess.
In his dizziness…
He heard someone whispering in his ears, “Divination is just a technique to perceive your fate with the Tao of Heaven. It’s actually a very simple technique. All you need to do is to remember the Art of Fortune…”
Han Fei didn’t remember what was said next. He slept as soundly as a dead pig.
When he finally woke up, he discovered, to his surprise, that the food on the table was gone, and that he had been lying on the ground for he didn’t know how long.
He looked around and found that the middle-aged man was fishing on the green rock not far away.
Han Fei rubbed his head. “Senior, how long have I slept for?”
The middle-aged man said casually, “Well, I cooked for myself yesterday.”
Han Fei didn’t know what to say. “I’ve slept through two days?”
The middle-aged man smiled. “You’ve already learned the Art of Fortune. I have nothing to teach you anymore. You can go out in a couple of days!”
“Huh?”
Han Fei was dumbfounded. “Wait, Senior, how did I learn it? By sleeping and dreaming?”
The middle-aged man said softly, “Keep your voice down. You’re scaring off the fish.”
Han Fei: “…”
The middle-aged man asked, “Why don’t you predict when you can get out?”
Han Fei subconsciously counted his fingers, and a vague feeling appeared in his head. “Three days later?”
Han Fei stared at his fingers. Since when had he become capable of this?
He closed his eyes in a hurry, only to see a piece of information.
Art of Destiny (Unrated)
Calculate one’s fate and predict the future with the Tao of Heaven.
It was just a simple introduction without any words or algorithms. It just appeared in his head.
Han Fei swallowed and was even more awed by the middle-aged man who had taught him such an amazing method while he was sleeping.
He had a lot of mixed feelings.
All of a sudden, Han Fei thought of something and ran a predication.
Then, he thought of the Prison Token and took it out. “Senior, do you know the Hexagon Starfish?”
The middle-aged man glanced at the Prison Token and smiled. “You’re quite smart! Yes! I was the one who threw it out.”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. The Hexagon Starfish was sealed by Ren Tianfen in the Heavenly Water Village for three hundred years. How did you throw it out?
Han Fei asked again, “Senior, do you know Ren Tianfen?”
The middle-aged man looked at the water. “Sort of!”
Han Fei took a deep breath. “Did you live in the Heavenly Water Village too?”
The middle-aged man looked at Han Fei casually. “Don’t ask. Just hold your questions back.”
“Why?”
The middle-aged man shook his head. “I already told you. It may change our fate. Just let nature run its course. You will learn everything when you should.”
Han Fei instantly became gloomy. He asked again, “What can we talk about? How about Tang Ge?”
The middle-aged man shook his head. “Not a chance!”
Han Fei was lost for words. “What about the Thug Academy? Let’s talk about the details of the Thug Academy’s decline thirty years ago.”
The middle-aged man shook his head. “Not a chance!”
Han Fei gnashed his teeth. “Then let’s talk about my mother.”
The middle-aged man continued shaking his head. “Even less likely.”
Han Fei said angrily, “I thought you were dead.”
The middle-aged man chuckled. “Sometimes, it’s rather hard to die.”
Han Fei was not a fool. He simply didn’t expect to meet his father in such a place and in such a way.
After he learned divination, he instantly thought of the Prison Token, and as he thought further, the answer was obvious.
Why couldn’t the middle-aged man be a Senior from the Thug Academy? Just look at Old Bai, Old Jiang and Uncle Faceless. Would they have taught Han Fei like that? Also, the man talked about the Heavenly Water Village and Ren Tianfen a lot.
Plus the way that the middle-aged man talked and educated him these days, Han Fei would’ve been a fool if he didn’t know the answer.
However, Han Fei was not sure whether the man was Han Guanshu or just his father.
“Were you a commander?”
The middle-aged man chuckled. “Don’t ask, don’t investigate. Don’t let Tang Ge investigate either.”
Just as expected.
The man was indeed Han Guanshu and his father.
Han Fei demanded furiously, “Is there anything I can do? Can I fish with you?”
Han Guanshu nodded. “You can.”
Lost for words, Han Fei angrily pulled a stone stool to the riverside.
He sat down and asked, “You can’t tell me anything about the vine in the demonic forest either?”
The middle-aged man slightly shook his head. “That’s the only thing that even I don’t know very well.”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei took out his fishing pole, only to be stunned. He didn’t even have to scan the environment before he said, “There’s no fish in the river!”
“Huala!”
Hardly had he said that when Han Guanshu caught a ten-meter-long blinking fish from the water.
“Shoot!”
Han Fei was instantly dumbfounded. He extended his senses into the river again, only to find that the river was not even as deep as the height of the fish. How could it have lived in the river?
A string of data appeared in his eyes.
Starlight Fish
A fish that grows up by absorbing the power of stars. It can emit starlight and move three thousand kilometers in one flash. It’s extremely hard to catch. When attacked, it will launch a star sword.
63
Exotic (mutated)
47,508 Points
It can increase your understanding of space if it’s eaten over a long period of time.
Star Pearl
“Gudu!”
Han Fei was lost for words. “What kind of marvelous technique was that?”
Han Guanshu replied casually, “A fishing technique.”
Han Fei blinked his eyes. That’s outrageous. Are you being condescending because of your high level?
Han Fei quickly took a glance at the Divine Manipulation Technique, Volume Five of Void Fishing, only to discover that it was not an amazing fishing technique at all.
The Divine Manipulation Technique required a special fishing line called the Void Line.
Han Fei never had the time to study it. After he read it just now, he looked quite weird.
Looking at the guy next to him, Han Fei sat cross-legged and read the technique carefully.
The so-called Void Line required fish or dragon veins that came from creatures with thick dragon bloodlines. It couldn’t be made unless the requirements were met.
When making the Void Line, one had to build a special network with the soul and hide the network in it.
After the special network was made, it would solely belong to him.
It could be very awesome. Just like the string of a puppet, it could control creatures and make it impossible for them to escape. The more advanced the Void Line is, the less likely it would be discovered.
If it were discovered, the creatures that it caught could struggle and break free.
Also, the Void Line had a high demand on spiritual and soul power. Of course, the problem could be more or less resolved if he were to create multiple Void Lines. Multiple Void Lines could also control creatures like puppets.
Also, the Void Line could be split based on soul power. Han Fei didn’t know how many lines it could split into with his current power.
The Void Line could not only be used in fishing but also in fighting, but it needed a hook in battle, which could be discovered easily.
“No wonder it’s called Divine Manipulation Technique! Awesome! Who can possibly defend against that?”
Han Fei glanced aside. “What should I call you? Senior?”
Han Guanshu chuckled. “Do you have to call me anything?”
Han Fei chuckled too. “It’s fine if I don’t. My life has been so hard since childhood. Why don’t you give something to me?”
Han Guanshu looked at Han Fei. “What do you want?”
Han Fei spoke frankly, “Ten or so flood dragon veins.”
Han Guanshu was briefly stunned. “Why do you want so many of those?”
Han Fei grinned. “For my own purpose.”
Han Guanshu chuckled. “Okay.”
“Also, I want all the higher versions of the True Spirit Fishing Art, above level six.”
Han Guanshu frowned. “Are you still practicing the True Spirit Fishing Art?”
Han Fei took a long breath in relief. Everything that happened made Han Fei feel that his life had been arranged, but this question reassured him that it wasn’t.
Han Fei nodded. “Yes, that’s the only technique that suits me.”
Han Guanshu hesitated for a moment. “I don’t have any, but I can ask for them from someone.”
Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “All of them?”
Han Guanshu sneered. “Just the sixth level. As for the seventh level, only one family in the entire Thousand Star City has that. However, I beat the family before, and they’re unlikely to give it to me.”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei was lost for words. What was he going to do? Did it mean that there would be no more True Spirit Fishing Art after level six?
Han Fei took a deep breath. “Which family?”
“The Zhang family.”
Han Fei was briefly dazed. “The Zhang family that’s capable of the Heavenly Pearl Body Protecting Art?”
“Exactly!”
Han Fei was instantly upset. “Then that’s bad. I beat them too.”
Han Guanshu looked at Han Fei speechlessly. However, it did make sense on second thought. The Thug Academy and the Thousand Star City had never seen eye to eye with each other. It was only nature that they fought.
After a pause, Han Guanshu suddenly said, “However, it’s not entirely impossible to get it from them.”
Han Fei shivered. “How so?”
Han Guanshu said casually, “You can always exchange the Sea Quelling Painting for that!”
