Chapter 188 The Blade is Sharp, Ready to Be Unsheathed

Fang Yi plunged into the water suddenly, and began to try to use the 'ability to restrain breath' and 'physical burst skills' obtained from [Diligent Learning] to show off in front of the female assassin, and quickly caught a few fish like Chi Tong.

When he began to imitate the female assassin's movements, not using the [Blood Demon Art: Eye Hidden] to 'cheat', but instead began to practice the [Oberg Assassination Art] by catching fish, he discovered a problem that embarrassed him.

He couldn't move as fast as the fish in the water.

These fish are quite agile and have high intelligence.

Even in the world of Zang Aka where humans have higher average physical fitness, these fish are very valuable because they are extremely difficult to catch.

After several failed attempts, Fang Yi didn't even manage to touch the fish's tail, and he discovered that these fish were very wary of human "attacks".

Even though Fang Yi started to use the techniques of restraining murderous intent from the [Oberg Assassination Technique] he had learned, combined with the techniques he acquired from Chi Tong through [Diligent Learning and Progress], and played a game of 'sitting by the tree and waiting for the rabbit', he still ended in failure.

After crouching for half a minute and finally waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike, the [Red River Tuna] still narrowly escaped from his fingertips.

Fang Yi even had an illusion that the fish seemed to be shaking its fins and making a mocking gesture.

At this point, Fang Yi finally understood that catching fish was not as simple as Chitong diving in and throwing out a few fish.

He surfaced, took a breath, suppressed his impatience, and decided to turn his attention to the [Yellow River Salmon], which was easier to catch.

Start with the easy ones and then move on to the difficult ones. Get the 'easy questions' right first, then consider the 'difficult questions' [Red River Tuna].

Of course, even the Yellow River Salmon, which is more "prevalent" than the Red River Tuna, is a fish that moves quite quickly in the water and has some dangerous bloodlines.

Although it is not as rare and expensive as Red River Tuna, it still requires some hunting skills.

Chi Tong watched Fang Yi fail many times, until Fang Yi sank to the surface of the water again while holding his hand, letting him observe carefully how he caught the fish.

After obtaining the other party's consent, Fang Yi opened [Transparent World] and carefully observed the actions of the female assassin, and finally learned some skills to deal with these fish.
-
Chi Tong surfaced again and looked at Fang Yi who had finally thrown a few [Yellow River Salmon] onto the shore, and applauded seriously.

"You are very strong and smart. You understood this technique without me telling you.

"These fish are very cunning, and human limbs cannot match the speed of these fish in the water.

"Simply suppressing one's murderous intent and waiting for an opportunity is an inefficient solution.

"It's not a bad thing for fish to be alert. You can influence their behavior to a certain extent by controlling your own murderous aura."

Fang Yi grinned and said what Chi Tong wanted to say next.

“You can force the fish into the control range of your hands, and then use the power of both hands to pick them up in an instant.

"And then they will become my 'trophies'."

Chi Tong nodded after confirming that the young man in front of him had excellent talent and had mastered the skills of controlling murderous aura and concealing breath.

She then explained how to catch the more difficult fish, Red River Tuna.

“[Red River tuna] are more agile, and even if you control its range of movement, catching it requires a certain amount of luck.

“When I was on a mission in the northern part of the empire, fishermen had to set up nets to catch this kind of fish.

"And you, unarmed, must control your murderous aura and make the other fish become 'obstacles' in the path of this fish, blocking its path. Then, in a very short time, your body will go from a relaxed state to an explosive fighting state, attacking and catching it.

"This is a little difficult for you, so I'll help you."

As the female assassin spoke, she gestured for Fang Yi to dive into the water.

The two sank into the water side by side, quickly finding a 'victim fish'. As Akame skillfully released his murderous aura, his right hand instantly exploded with astonishing speed, blocking the target's path.

Fang Yize released his murderous aura in perfect sync and "controlled" a few fish again, forcing the target fish into a "dead end" and then scooped it up with his left hand.

The [Red River Tuna] left the water and came to the land where it was vulnerable to slaughter, and then in the blink of an eye it was in the mouth of the extremely dangerous species [Almonda].

This dangerous species made a delighted cry while chewing this precious 'snack', and it was obvious that it was very satisfied with Fang Yi.

"Delicious, delicious, more please."

With the help of Chi Tong, Fang Yi completed the training of this skill and gained a deeper understanding of the assassin's concealment and burst skills.

The space prompt sound in my ear also rang out.

[Affected by the talent [Diligent Learning], your skill [Oberg Assassination] has gained an additional strengthening branch.]
-
[Oberg's assassination technique enhancement]

Your aura is concealed, your release ability is moderately enhanced, and your body's instantaneous explosive power is slightly increased.

Additional Branch: You can open a higher level of [Limiter Release] for your body at a lower cost, gaining more strength in a short period of time.
-
With the acquisition of [Oberg Assassination Technique·Enhanced], the time it takes for Fang Yi's body to transition from a relaxed state to a combat state has been greatly shortened, and his control over his body has been elevated to a higher level.

Influenced by this, Fang Yi seemed to be more adept at using the [Black Flash] skill which he had not used for a long time.

He no longer needs a long time to prepare or warm up for a Black Flash to continuously use it.

This skill is already a very practical skill in high-intensity combat, except for the limitation of spell-force strikes and physical strikes hitting the enemy.

Fang Yi, who has learned new skills, becomes playful.

Under the puzzled gaze of Akagi, he plunged into the river and used the increased instantaneous explosive power brought by his skills to forcibly catch several [Red River Tuna].

In the surprised eyes of Akato, he finally said what he had always wanted to say.

"I know how to do it!"
-
A few minutes later, around the bonfire lit by the [Soul Burning Wax], the two people who were drying their underwear maintained a friendly distance. Although they did not talk to each other, they had obviously become familiar with each other.

After Fang Yi learned to fish independently, the female assassin's friendliness level had become [71/100], which was considered a recognition of Fang Yi's ability.

Therefore, Fang Yi deliberately used the [Ministerial Tool] [Prometheus], ​​the pistol used by his female friend during the assassination period of the Chitong Empire. After Chitong waved it many times, the female assassin finally "took the bait".

She nudged Fang Yi's bare chest with her elbow to express her doubts.

“How did you get this [Ministerial Tool]?
"Can you tell me the story of how you got it?"

Fang Yi smiled secretly.

[He really took the bait. I showed it off so many times that it was worth it.]

Fang Yi smiled slightly and gave his answer.

“It’s a somewhat dull story, involving betrayal and deception, and therefore a bit boring to tell.

"So you have to trade the story of how you obtained the Imperial Tool."

Fang Yi knew that after he finished telling the story of himself and 'Hyena', who had a similar experience with Chi Tong in rebelling against the empire.

The female assassin's friendliness towards him will skyrocket, and she will become his most loyal blade.
