Can the revival of the extraordinary be achieved by merging the Superman template?

Zhao Peng gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands and pulled the line up with all his might, using every ounce of strength he had.

But the fishing rod only bent a tiny bit more.

That thing underwater is still as stable as a rock.

Zhao Peng's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap... what kind of fish is that? How can it be so strong? Is it a Magikarp?"

"Brother Wu, Yangzi, come and lend a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Wu walked over to Zhao Peng and reached out to grab the fishing rod.

"Brother Peng, let go."

Zhao Peng's expression froze slightly: "Huh?"

Qi Wu's expression turned serious: "You might have stumbled upon a ghost story."

Zhao Peng was startled, his hand trembled, and he immediately let go: "Brother Wu... this isn't... that ghost story about night fishing, is it?"

Qi Wu nodded: "Most likely."

He gripped the fishing rod, feeling the force transmitted up from the water.

It was very heavy, extremely heavy, so heavy that Zhao Peng couldn't even pull it off.

But that's how it is.

For someone with a superhuman physique like myself, this amount of force is nothing.

Qi Wu even felt that he could pull the things out of the water with just one hand.

But instead of immediately reeling in the bait, he first reviewed the intelligence in his mind.

According to records on the Chaofan Forum, the characteristic of night fishing ghost stories is that when fishing at night, if you catch something so strong that one person cannot pull it up, you may encounter a night fishing ghost story.

Once you catch the fish, you'll discover that the night fishing ghost story is about a strange fish with a human face and a fish body.

Night fishing legends say that those who catch it will be dragged into the water and eaten alive.

Even if you throw away the fishing rod and run away, it won't make a difference.

Because the Night Fishing Ghost Story has the ability to control water, it can manipulate the river water to entangle the person who catches it and pull them into the river.

Can't run away at all.

However, the ghost story of night fishing only kills the person who catches it; the onlookers are perfectly safe.

Furthermore, if you don't catch the ghost story while night fishing, the killing rule won't be triggered, and you won't be killed.

Thinking of this, Qi Wu took a deep breath and began to reel in his rod.

As he continued to exert force, the underwater tales were slowly pulled up.

When the ghost story was about to be pulled out, Qi Wu could clearly feel that the force suddenly increased several times.

The fishing rod was bent out of shape, making a "creaking" sound, and it felt like it might break at any moment.

Qi Wu remained unfazed and increased the intensity of his blows.

The next second, the water surface exploded, and something shot out of the water.

It was a strange fish, about the size of an adult.

It has the body of a fish, but its head is a man's face with a ferocious expression, its big mouth opening and closing, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

The man's eyes were fish-like, and he was staring intently at Qi Wu.

Suddenly, it started laughing.

Zhao Peng collapsed to the ground, muttering, "Amitabha Buddha, Hallelujah..."

Liu Yang was also terrified.

The monstrous fish with a human face opened and closed its mouth, asking Qi Wu, "Did you...fish me out...?"

Its voice was very hoarse and hesitant, as if it wasn't used to speaking.

Qi Wu didn't say a word of nonsense, and threw a punch.

However, this time he deliberately didn't throw the punch into the river, but instead threw it towards the left bank of the river.

The reason is simple: if this strange fish falls into the water, wouldn't it just run away?

Although ghost stories are known for their stubbornness and rarely run away, they often relentlessly pursue those who trigger their rules, like a mad dog, relentlessly attacking them until one of them is killed.

But what if?

What if this ghost story is a coward who turns around and runs away?

Qi Wu would never gamble.

"Bang!"

With a single punch from Qi Wu, the human-faced monster fish was sent flying like a sandbag, crashing heavily onto the riverbank on the left.

In an instant, a crater was smashed into the ground.

The strange fish with a human face was thrashing about in the pit, just like any other fish coming ashore, its tail slapping the ground with a "slap slap slap".

A look of bewilderment appeared on its human face.

At the same time, the river level rose sharply.

A stream of water, carrying mud, sand, and gravel, rushed towards Qi Wu.

But Qi Wu stood still, not even lifting an eyelid.

The next second, the water slammed into him, and he was completely swallowed by the river.

Seeing this from a distance, Zhao Peng shouted in fright, "Brother Wu!!!"

Liu Yang panicked as well.

But then the river water flowed down Qi Wu's body.

He stood motionless, unharmed, only soaked to the bone.

This is the true value of a super body.

If conventional weapons can't break through the defenses, what are mere water currents?

The pressure was so light that anyone who didn't know better would think they were giving him a bath.

However, Qi Wu discovered that when the river water splashed on his body, his strength doubled.

It should have triggered the second ability of the Water Ghost template: Great Strength.

But as the river water flowed down his body, the surge of power slowly receded.

It seems that the power doesn't necessarily have to be in a river to be triggered; as long as the whole body is covered in water, it will work.

If he unlocks his water control ability later, he can keep receiving the bonus by covering himself in water.

Even during a downpour, when the rain is soaking you, you might still receive this boost.

Thinking of this, Qi Wu looked at the human-faced monster fish in the pit.

The human-faced fish was also watching him.

But the expression on that person's face had changed from bewilderment to fear.

It opened its mouth, as if to say something, but Qi Wu didn't give it the chance.

Qi Wu jumped up hard, his whole body shooting out, and he punched the human-faced monster fish.

"Bang!!!"

This punch carried the weight of the entire body, and was many times heavier than the previous punch.

In an instant, numerous cracks appeared on the surrounding ground, spreading outwards like a spider web, before it exploded with a deafening roar.

Not to mention the human-faced fish that took the punch head-on.

The human-faced fish was smashed to pieces by Qi Wu.

This isn't a metaphor; it's truly a complete mess.

His head was gone, his body was shattered, and blood was splattered everywhere, covering Qi Wu completely.

Qi Wu stood amidst the shredded flesh, covered in blood, his expression calm, like a fierce god.

But soon the human-faced fish disappeared, along with all the bits of flesh and blood.

Even the bloodstains on Qi Wu's body had disappeared completely, as if they had never existed.

But in Qi Wu's hands, there was one more thing.

It was a palm-sized silver scale that gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

Like the pig head mask before, this is also a prop from a ghost story.

As soon as Qi Wu got the scales in his hand, he immediately figured out what they were for.

Simply attach the scales of this strange fish to your chest, and scales will grow on your skin, allowing you to breathe underwater, enhancing your physical abilities, and giving you some water control.

However, the side effects are also disgusting. As the transformation lasts longer, the physical characteristics will become more and more like the human-faced fish monster, until finally the limbs disappear completely and the whole person becomes a human-faced fish monster.

At this point, even memory and personality will be affected.
