High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

Next, Gu Bai opened a laptop that was placed on the deck.

Chen Shi went forward and saw that their coordinates were displayed on the screen. They had unknowingly traveled more than 500 nautical miles.

The map has three semicircles with diameters of 1000 nautical miles for the safe zone, 2500 nautical miles for the difficult zone, and 5000 nautical miles for the danger zone.

Gu Bai asked calmly, "What realm are you at now?"

Chen Shi: "Six-Star Grandmaster".

Gu Bai: "Then we can try going to a dangerous area 2500-5000 kilometers away."

"But we can start learning now."

Gu Bai walked to the edge of the plank, and Chen Shi and Xue Xin looked closely. The old fisherman took out a bottle of special medicine and hung it on the hook. Then he cast out the fishing rod and kept spinning the reel. The fishing line kept stretching out. There were also marks on the reel to indicate the length.

Chen Shi stepped forward and looked closely. Gu Bai said calmly, "It depends on what level of fish you want to catch. The longest is three thousand meters."

Chen Shi exclaimed in surprise, "There are three thousand meters of line in this reel!?"

"Hmm, it's made of special materials. Feel it." Chen Shi stepped forward and touched it, discovering that the thread was actually black and gold in color and extremely thin. Chen Shi pulled hard but it didn't break, which surprised him.

"Black gold fishing rod." Gu Bai said proudly, "You'll encounter it when you participate in the mining challenge in the future. The black gold mine in Jiangzhou is very large. What you'll be mining is this kind of metal. It has extremely strong toughness and excellent hardness. It can withstand the power of a Venerable-level sea monster at most. Any higher and the line will break."

"You won't encounter a Venerable-level fish within three thousand meters unless the bait you offer is exceptionally good."

Chen Shi and Xue Xin watched quietly.

The fishing boat continued to move forward quickly, so there was no need to sit still and wait for the fish to come. A few minutes later, a siren took the bait. Gu Bai focused his attention and quickly swung the reel with his right hand, his hand speed so fast that sparks flew.

"Splash splash splash splash splash..."

In the blink of an eye, the fishing line, thousands of meters long, was reeled in, and a demonic fish with sword-like fins was pulled out of the water. It opened its blood-red mouth wide, and its sharp teeth were tinged with blood. Its eyes were similar to human pupils, and they were full of blood vessels. Chen Shi and Xue Xin felt the uncanny valley effect and their whole bodies went numb.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Bai drew his long knife from his waist, leaped off the fishing boat, and killed it with a single blow. He then pulled the swordfin sea monster into the deck and quickly dismembered and cut it, all while the fishing line remained unloaded.

Gu Bai pointed to the splint and said, "There are six fishing lines in total. If you're really capable, you can let all six lines go."

"As for dismemberment, there are many types of sirens, and different parts have different values. I will teach you step by step when the time comes."

At this moment, the hot and humid sea breeze swept over them, and the salty smell of the sea mixed with the bloody and fishy smell of the swordfin demon fish flowed into Chen Shi and Xue Xin's noses.

The boy and girl felt nauseous looking at the torn organs. Then, the sword-finned demon fish suddenly stood up as if looking back in a final moment, roared at Gu Bai, and spat out an extremely foul-smelling liquid. Its blood-covered fish face looked like something out of a horror movie. Even though the daylight was bright, Chen Shi and Xue Xin felt uncomfortable all over and subconsciously gagged, even feeling a little dizzy.

Gu Bai, however, was already used to it. He snorted and slashed the head of the sword-finned demon fish with a chop, saying, "Die."

Next, he put the processed materials into three different baskets: one for the internal organs, one for the skin and bones, one for the blood, and one for the essence blood, which he then filled into a small bottle.

The smells of blood and fish still lingered on the deck.

This is the scent of Gu Bai.

He didn't wash his hands either. He stepped forward and patted Chen Shi on the shoulder. Chen Shi subconsciously wanted to back away, but in the end he didn't move, letting the filthy liquid lie on his clean clothes.

Gu Bai calmly commented, "Not bad, much better than the previous ones."

"Do you want to try it yourself?"

"Okay." Chen Shi nodded.

Xuexin sat to the side watching, took out a bottle of juice from her storage ring and drank it, then handed it to Gu Bai and asked if he wanted some. Gu Bai naturally accepted without hesitation, took it and drank it all in one gulp, then threw the trash directly into the sea.

Chen Shi had already begun trying to catch his first siren fish, but his movements were quite clumsy. During this process, Xue Xin asked him many questions that he was also curious about.

"The Siren Bird is intelligent and can speak, so don't the Siren race have that too?"

Why did they take the bait?

Gu Bai said calmly, "Because of animalistic instincts."

"Aren't humans the same?"

"When enormous profits are presented to you, you may step into them even if you know there are dangers ahead."

"Moreover, the intelligence of sea monsters below the Martial Venerable level is relatively low."

"We sea anglers are all just grandmasters, not martial arts masters."

"All the Martial Venerables are in the military camp. The captain who patrolled the coastline you just came from is a Martial Venerable."

Chen Shi nodded and said, "Understood!"

"Do you want to give it a try?" Gu Bai asked Zhang Xuexin.

"We haven't started timing or counting yet, just playing around."

"OK."

Xuexin nodded and went to fish.

Soon, Chen Shi caught his first fish. He pulled the reel at a speed that was no slower than Gu Bai's, and his movements were extremely swift. However, he accidentally messed up the reel. Gu Bai, who was standing next to him, said to take it slow.

Chen Shi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowed down. After pulling it up, he suddenly threw out the Black Martial Red Dragon Whirlwind Dart to kill the sea monster. He then brought it back to dismember it. It was a difficult process, and Chen Shi was not used to it.

The first fish was caught off guard and managed to be caught without any mistakes, but very slowly.

Next was Xuexin. Her learning process was just as slow as Chen Shi's, but both of them had excellent attitudes, which made Gu Bai feel relaxed. In the past, when contestants from other places came, they would ask all sorts of nonsense such as whether there was an automatic dismemberment device, whether there were gloves, whether there were masks, and that it was too smelly, which annoyed Gu Bai.

These two kids are quite good.

Furthermore, when they couldn't catch any fish, the two would jump into the air to train in order to open their absorption state, a scene that surprised Gu Bai.

"Among the geniuses who came to participate in the challenge before, only the Long family members were as hardworking as you, not wasting a single opportunity to absorb the medicine."

After landing, Chen Shi asked, "What's your impression of the Long family?"

Gu Bai said, "They just do their work, they don't talk, they don't have any extra emotions, and they won't respond if you try to talk to them about anything."

"They are strong, but also boring, and almost every member of the Long family has this personality."

After Gu Bai finished speaking, he silently shook his head and said, "It feels like the head of the Long family doesn't treat them like human beings at all; they're just a bunch of war machines."

"I get scared just being around them."
