Chapter 533 - 533 520 Unpreventable

533: Chapter 520 Unpreventable 533: Chapter 520 Unpreventable He was called Zhang Hao, 20 years old this year, the younger cousin of Leng Xiaojun.

Instead of following his cousin to mix in Tianyuan, he was sent by Leng Xiaojun to study fishing under the Fishing King, Lv Zhongsheng.

Starting at the age of 18, he carried the Fishing Box for his master to learn the basics, and this year, at 20, he participated in the Fishing King Cup for the first time.

To his surprise, he was lucky enough to make it through the preliminary round!

Zhang Hao’s performance wasn’t ideal; he hadn’t ranked in the top fifty in the first six rounds of the competition, and up to this point, he was merely there to accumulate more competition experience.

At noon, his cousin found him and told him to watch out for Yue Feng, even giving him a capsule.

Unexpectedly, in the first match of the afternoon, he really did come across him.

Having competed alongside his master, Lv Zhongsheng, in various places for several years, Zhang Hao had developed a preliminary understanding of the ins and outs of these competitions.

His core strategy was simple: if he encountered someone, he would just set them up!

Taking advantage of the time before the competition started, Zhang Hao opened the capsule containing the white powder, added a piece of Ragworm, and mixed it well.

Later, when it was time to fish, he would just throw it near the boundary of his fishing spot, and all would be well.

…

Yue Feng skillfully opened the live stream, exchanged pleasantries with his audience for a bit, then left the public channel to be managed by his assistant.

He then took a series of deep breaths as he awaited the start of the competition.

The field control referee initiated the countdown for the start of the match, and after a five-second countdown, the competition officially began!

Yue Feng prepared his double hooks with small bait and cast his first rod straight ahead to the middle spot.

The fish’s response was unclear, so he decided to test the waters first!

For the first three casts, Yue Feng’s bait landed in the middle area, about eight rods away.

However, the expected quick fish response did not materialize; after three casts, he hadn’t gotten a single bite!

“Damn, are they really not giving face?” Yue Feng shook his head slightly, rebaited, and then cast to the farthest full-rod spot.

Still no bite.

At that moment, the angler to his left got a bite first!

Yue Feng, capable of dual-tasking, noticed right away that angler number seven had caught fish at a close spot using the ‘Stabbing toad’ technique.

After collecting this piece of information, Yue Feng did not rush to adjust his own approach and tried out a few more casts.

Then angler number seven caught another fish!

In just the space of a few dozen seconds, he had caught two fish!

This got Yue Feng’s attention.

Although he had prepared to quickly catch fish, this was after all the sixth round of fishing in the competition pond.

Consecutive catches indicated that there were more fish close by than farther away.

With this in mind, Yue Feng quickly prepared a few fist-sized Soft Sticky Bait balls for the far spot to feed the fish in advance, and then skillfully prepared his bait, holding the rod to do ‘Stabbing toad’.

In terms of the basic skills of ‘Stabbing toad’, with his skill boost, Yue Feng was much more proficient than angler number seven.

Within his range of sight, if Yue Feng wanted his bait to land at a particular spot, he could do so with precision, paired with the rod’s jerking movements to entice the fish.

Soon, he caught his first bite.

The bite was good, a quick dip left and right.

Seeing this, Yue Feng exerted force vertically, flicked his wrist, and lifted the rod to hook the fish—a carp weighing around half a pound.

‘Stabbing toad’ was indeed effective!

Having tasted success, Yue Feng unrestrainedly continued the productive technique of ‘Stabbing toad’.

According to the competition rules, the area slightly ahead of the rod tip was permissible for fishing.

Yue Feng held his rod and moved from the left boundary line to each spot, continuing all the way to the right boundary line.

By the time he had made a complete round, he repeated the previous operations.

The fish weren’t biting quickly, but after about ten minutes of fishing, Yue Feng had managed to land eight!

This was already a decent outcome within the entire group—after all, many had only caught one or two fish up to this point.

Seeing Yue Feng catch a fish every few casts, Zhang Hao became conflicted!

Before starting to fish, the guy seemed indifferent about sabotaging the fishing spot, but now that he had to do it himself, he became nervous.

Seeing Yue Feng continuously catching fish by “Stabbing toad,” Zhang Hao could no longer care about much.

He split a small ball of bait he had prepared earlier into two and rolled it onto the hook.

Then he stood up, glanced along the border of his fishing spot, and cast with reasonable accuracy to the edge of the near spot.

As soon as his cast landed, Zhang Hao’s heart began to thump wildly.

He had been extremely nervous while baiting the hook and casting the rod, as if he were being observed by countless onlookers.

In such a fierce competition, no one would pay attention to a very common “Stabbing toad” casting move, not even Yue Feng himself.

As long as it’s not against the rules, anyone can do the “Stabbing toad.” It’s perfectly normal!

After a minute of calm, Zhang Hao finally relaxed slightly and put down the fishing rod, noticing his palms were sweaty.

Zhang Hao had completed the task given to him by his cousin, and it was about to cause issues for Yue Feng!

After catching another fish with the “Stabbing toad” technique, Yue Feng made an entire round of casts in the area in front of him but then discovered he was getting no bites—not even a tentative nibble!

This was strange enough, but what really bewildered him was that upon using the “Skill” to scan the fishing spot, the previously bright area in front of his fishing position was now a dull grey!

This shouldn’t be happening.

With so many fish in the pond and the angler at spot number seven continuously “Stabbing toad” with results not inferior to Yue Feng’s, how could the fish be gone after just catching a few?

Yue Feng mulled this over for a couple of seconds, then shook his head; something was off!

Based on his fishing experience, Yue Feng knew that the brightness of a fishing spot wasn’t solely based on the number of fish present, but more accurately on whether it was suitable for fish to linger and gather!

It had been bright recently, but now it turned grey.

What’s the reason?

His bait was definitely not the problem.

Could he have been sabotaged again?

That was the only possibility!

With this thought, Yue Feng’s gaze swept across the anglers to his left and right.

When he saw that the near spot of number nine, Zhang Hao, had also turned grey, he clenched his fist tightly.

Damn it, despite being on guard, he’d still been caught off-guard by this young-looking guy!

Yue Feng felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.

For a moment, he even felt the urge to stand up and kick this guy into the water.

But after taking a deep breath and restraining himself, Yue Feng gradually calmed down.

At this point, the words Teacher Hua had told him at noon came into play.

Even if he slapped the troublemaker to death, it wouldn’t help his score.

If there’s a problem, either solve it or work around it.

Any grievances, any resentment, can wait until after the competition!

Yue Feng’s brain raced for solutions.

In the current situation, what could help him recover?

The near spot was definitely out of the question; the guy had just “Stabbed toad” there a few times, and most likely had tampered with the bait.

What about the far spot?

During an earlier “Fishing King Cup,” Yue Feng had encountered a sabotaged spot once.

His solution back then was to open a new fishing point, and he was lucky enough to succeed.

With that in mind, Yue Feng took another deep breath and took out the “Musk Wine” from his “Fishing Box.”

In such an extreme situation, he couldn’t bother with a pipette.

Yue Feng dumped the “Soft Sticky Bait” into a basin to break it up, then poured half a bottle of “Musk Wine” into it.
