526: Chapter 513: Winning by a Point in Five Games, Capturing Another City!!

Yue Feng, with his head down, had pulled the rod thirty times in a row, causing the fish at the bait point to become increasingly aggressive.

What began as half-closed mouths hesitating at the bait, now turned into multiple nibbles per bait due to the increased competition among the fish.

After fishing normally and seizing the bites for a while, he quickly rediscovered that sensation of “plop plop” nibbles, snapping up the rod would hook the fish right on its upper lip at twelve o’clock.

The fish were being caught faster, and the bites were getting higher, starting from about ten centimeters off the bottom, then adjusting the float down five centimeters after some time, and then another five centimeters, until eventually fishing about thirty centimeters from the bottom.

If there were a first-person perspective underwater now, one could see a dense crowd of crucian carp gathering around the bait point,

These little guys were very active in the bait point, darting up and down.

Whenever a new batch of bait fell into the water, the more active individuals in the school of fish would chase and attack it first.

The brave and healthy fish would swallow the hook and bait faster, then get pulled up.

Simply from observing the fish’s reactions, one would not think they sought the bait with the same caution as old, crafty fish.

This aspect was starkly different from the reactions of fish at other anglers’ bait points.

During a slow fish area target fishing session, Yue Feng fished very comfortably.

The entire fish situation unfolded from the start just as he predicted and expected; only the initial baiting phase required him to jerk the rod frequently.

After that, he got bites on every cast, sometimes even doubling up.

By the time the competition reached about halfway through, Yue Feng had completely figured out the fish situation.

Slowly, he entered that ultra-focused state once again where it seemed that in the world before him, there was only the fishing rod in his hands and the fish in the bait point.

And so, Yue Feng closed his eyes again!

Next to him at station number 14, Zheng Xiong had been distracted since the beginning of the fishing, having found himself next to Yue Feng.

He lacked rhythm and strategy, merely going through the motions of the competition, with most of his attention fixed on Yue Feng.

Initially, Zheng Xiong could understand when Yue Feng jerked the rod to make the bait point and seized the bites to catch fish.

But later on, when Yue Feng would slightly lower the float every now and then, Zheng Xiong had never used such a technique to stabilize the layer and improve efficiency, and he had no clear concept of its merits or faults.

By this point, Zheng Xiong’s mind was muddled.

And this was before he noticed that after a while, Yue Feng seemed to naturally close his eyes while fishing.

This discovery gave him quite a shock!

Fishing with closed eyes, wasn’t that nonsensical?

Could he be squinting, and he saw it wrongly?

To get a clearer view, Zheng Xiong turned his head as much as he could towards Yue Feng and after a close observation, he was hundred percent certain, Yue Feng was indeed fishing with his eyes closed.

This was like discovering a new continent for Zheng Xiong, completely shattering his entire perception of fishing, and a sense of insurmountable inadequacy welled up inside him.

His admiration for Yue Feng deepened.

…

Meanwhile, at pond number four, in the Mixed Breeding Pond of slow fish, Han Luofeng was also catching fish with high efficiency.

When it came to fishing for crafty fish, Han Luofeng had undergone systematic training and possessed extremely high practical experience.

Usually, whether using public bait or fishing freely, Han Luofeng rarely lost points when fishing for slow fish,

If it weren’t for a prodigy like Yue Feng for comparison, his overall fishing skill would be considered top-notch among the younger generation.

This session of fishing, Han Luofeng was also having a very smooth experience.

Following Yue Feng’s suggestion, he had added a bit of Musk Wine when opening the bait, and the feeling of the fish biting at the bait point after the competition started was completely different.

With fewer sliding and brushing bites, the bait seemed to be a delicacy that the fish were willing to risk their lives for, not to be forsaken.

At the beginning of the fishing session, after a few bites, the fish hook even went down the throat—a scenario seldom encountered when fishing for crafty fish.

…

“Attention to all competition athletes, there are only five seconds left until the end of the competition.

Listening for the whistling sound, please stop fishing immediately.

Any fish not properly landed are prohibited from being counted, or you will face a penalty by deducting a certain number of points for violations!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the competition is over!”

At the sound of the whistle, Yue Feng awoke from a deep trance, reopening his eyes.

How quickly time had passed, was it really over, just like that?

158 tails!

Yue Feng was very clear about the number recorded, in the slow fish zone, this score should be a fairly stable small win.

“Hey, Master Yue Feng!” Zheng Xiong called out to Yue Feng again from the side.

Yue Feng turned around, “What’s up?

There’s no need to be so formal, Brother Zheng, just call me Little Yue or Yue Feng!”

“I have a question I want to ask you, did you close your eyes during the competition just now?” Zheng Xiong asked curiously.

Yue Feng grinned, “Well, sort of!

The fishing was going smoothly, and it felt like closing my eyes helped me concentrate better and be more efficient, though I’d open them every now and then to check!”

“Damn, really!

How did you train to do that?

Can you teach me?

It’s freaking awesome!

I’ve seen many masters in fishing in the mainland, but you’re the only one who can do this!”

“There’s not much to teach technically about this one, just a matter of being familiar with the process!

Practice the basics more, and once you reach a certain level of proficiency, you can do it too!”

Yue Feng’s act of modesty was simply ruthless, and it worked like a charm!

While they were casually chatting, the judge came over with the staff to Yue Feng’s spot.

“Come on, lift the fish guard and count the tails!”

Yue Feng nodded and lifted the catch out of the water.

“Wow, that’s a huge lead!” The young man responsible for counting the fish couldn’t help but exclaim after a glance.

“Count the fish, what are you making a fuss about!” The judge glanced at his young apprentice with displeasure, then turned to look at Yue Feng.

The judge said kindly to Yue Feng, “Looks like you’ve almost won this round too, not bad, Little Yue!

I’m a friend of Old Hu, just call me Uncle Zhang!”

Upon hearing that it was the old gentleman’s friend, Yue Feng immediately nodded and greeted, “Uncle Zhang, how are you!

What’s the highest count in our group so far?”

“112, caught over at the big side!

The rest are mostly around seventy or eighty.

Over a hundred should secure a small win!

I haven’t tallied the east big side yet, but when I strolled there just now and watched for a while from behind, it wasn’t fast either!”

“Oh, oh, thank you!” Hearing this number, Yue Feng felt a weight off his shoulders.

With 158 fish, he had a sure win.

“There are three more rounds to go, keep up the good fishing and stay spirited!”

“Uh-huh, definitely!

Once the competition is over, if there’s a chance, let’s sit down together with Old Hu!”

“Sure, we aim for a win in all five rounds, looking forward to your victory celebration drink!”

“Master, 158 tails!” The young apprentice had finished counting the tails.

Zhang Weidong nodded, “With this, a win is secured!

Come on, sign the scorecard!”

Yue Feng signed his name, and the judge greeted him before continuing with the rest of the score tallying.

Yue Feng packed up his equipment and headed to the waiting area to regroup.

After leaving the waiting area, Yue Feng thought about grabbing his phone to chat with his live-streaming friends, but as soon as he stepped out of the competition area, Teacher Hua and Coach Ma were waiting right at the entrance, with anglers passing by and greeting them from time to time.

Yue Feng knew they were waiting for him, so he walked over briskly.
