Of course, more importantly.
Since he had successfully made his spiritual energy surge out of his body, it was as if he had opened a new door.
Although this door had only opened a crack, it made him feel that there must be infinite possibilities within!
Those ancient powerhouses, who possessed the ability to destroy heaven and earth, might have been able to do so because their spiritual energy could surge out of their bodies.
Take Ba Dao, whom he had seen before, and the scene of him destroying the ice dragon with his final strike.
The image of the colossal saber alone was over a hundred zhang long!
That was not an illusion, but likely saber energy formed by spiritual energy surging out of his body!
And in the ruins of Huaxia, many dangerous places still preserved traces of battles; the saber energy and sword energy were all formed in this manner.
It was just that Ye Cangtian did not know why they were preserved until now.
Perhaps, when one reached a certain level of power, they could master this skill!
"Boy, what's your name?"
The old man did not answer, but instead glanced at him deeply and asked with interest.
"Ye Cangtian of the Hidden Group, I just entered the ruins not long ago," Ye Cangtian said directly.
"Oh."
The old man nodded faintly, then ignored him, casting his line again and continuing to sit there fishing.
"..."
What was going on?
Ye Cangtian's expression shifted. Was this a rejection?
He was not discouraged and quickly stepped forward, saying urgently, "Old sir, teach me!"
"Don't disturb me fishing!"
"Do you know how awful it is to be hungry?"
The old man said faintly, seeming a little impatient.
"Senior, just tell me what you want to eat! As long as it's within my capabilities, I will definitely satisfy you!"
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow. Let alone food and drink, if he could learn true skills, he wouldn't mind handing over all his spirit stones.
This old man was no simple person, perhaps a powerful figure in the ruins!
"This old man just wants to eat the Ruin Sturgeon from the river!"
"As long as you can get it, this old man will guide you a bit!"
"Oh, and if you're going into the river, go a bit further away, don't disturb my fishing pleasure!"
The old man glanced at Ye Cangtian and spoke slowly.
Although this kid was a bit weak, with his current strength, being able to project spiritual energy was already remarkable.
However, to catch the Ruin Sturgeon was simply impossible!
The only way was to go into the river to catch it, where with his strength, there might be a slight chance of success.
But that would undoubtedly be extremely perilous. The seemingly ordinary great river was actually the largest 'danger zone' in Dragon City!
One might not notice it on the shore, but only in the river, when the fish schools attacked fiercely, would one truly understand!
Of course, the most crucial point was that the old man worried that if Ye Cangtian went into the river and a battle ensued, it would scare away the nearby fish schools, and then what would he fish for!
"I understand."
Ye Cangtian nodded, then walked further away and began to warm up, preparing to go into the river to catch fish.
"Silly brother, do you still need to go into the river?"
Just then, Nami's voice came to his mind.
"Hmm?"
"If I don't go into the river, what else can I do! You must have seen that I can't catch any fish!"
Ye Cangtian was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Nami to suddenly speak to him.
He had failed nine times in a row at fishing. Under the old man's guidance, he understood that the problem lay with him. His control over spiritual energy was not proficient enough, which was why he couldn't catch fish.
Now, to learn skills, he needed to catch a sturgeon, and that meant going into the river!
"Idiot, why didn't you think about your sister's identity?"
"Sister is a princess of the Merman Royal Family, so getting a few small fish is as easy as lifting a finger!"
"Let me tell you, even if they know I'm going to eat them, they will swarm towards me, considering it an honor!"
Nami said somewhat proudly.
As a member of the Merman Royal Family, she was inherently the ruler of the aquatic races, commanding thousands of water creatures. It was an absolute suppression by bloodline.
In terms of bloodline, perhaps only the Divine Dragon could suppress her, but it also depended on the attribute.
"Uh... How could I have forgotten about this!"
"If you have this ability, why were you just watching me make a fool of myself!"
Ye Cangtian slapped his forehead, finally realizing.
Nami snorted, and said with annoyance, "I wasn't being disloyal, it's just that just now..."
Because the old man was there, she dared not make any movement.
Although this old man seemed no different from an ordinary old man, and did not exude any formidable aura, Nami's senses kept warning her that this old man was very dangerous.
And extremely dangerous!
In front of that old man, she couldn't muster any thought of resistance.
So, not to mention helping, she didn't even dare to speak, fearing that the old man would discover her existence.
Only now that they were far away from the old man did Nami dare to contact Ye Cangtian.
Listening to Nami's explanation, Ye Cangtian glanced in the direction of the old man again, a look of surprise on his face.
From the old man's words and demeanor, his strength was definitely not to be underestimated. He should have reached the Earth-tier.
But he hadn't expected that the old man would make a mermaid princess of the Earth-tier fear to this extent!
Doesn't that mean this old man is a true hidden master?
Or even stronger than Earth-tier?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian showed a smile on his face, "Nami, it's up to you now. What should I do?"
"Simple, just put your wrist into the river water, let the river water submerge the Qiankun Shell, and leave the rest to me..."
Listening to Nami's reply, Ye Cangtian quickly followed her method.
The next moment, ripples appeared in the river. Ye Cangtian didn't feel anything, but his peripheral vision swept towards the old man's location.
Originally, as soon as the old man cast his line, a fish would bite, but they were all Ruin Fangfish.
But since he had submerged his wrist in the river, no fish had bitten his hook since.
In just a few minutes, Ye Cangtian was completely stunned. He could clearly see countless fish gathered on the surface of the river.
They were entirely black, with sharp teeth, and looked ferocious. The entire river surface was filled with the figures of Ruin Fangfish, countless of them!
"Boy, what in the world are you doing!"
"This..."
Just then, an angry voice came.
The old man was somewhat exasperated. The place where he was fishing was a gathering spot for fish, which was why the frequency of bites was so high.
But just now, he clearly sensed that the fish schools had inexplicably shifted.
And the direction of the shift was towards where Ye Cangtian was. This made him both angry and astonished.
He was angry because he had finally found a place where the Ruin Fish gathered.
Even if most of the fish he caught were Fangfish, they could at least pass the time.
Now that they were all attracted away, how could he not be angry?
But he was astonished, as he never expected this kid could attract the gathered fish away!
What method did this kid use?
However.
When he saw the situation on Ye Cangtian's side, he was dumbfounded.
Ruin Fangfish were very fierce. Their individual attacks were not strong, but their sheer numbers and fearlessness were key.
Even an Earth-tier powerhouse, if he accidentally fell into a school of Ruin Fangfish, would instantly turn into a pile of bones!
And this kid called Ye Cangtian, although his strength was not bad, should still have been attacked ferociously according to reason.
But this scene did not occur. They did not attack Ye Cangtian's arm.
Instead, as if trying to please him, they gently rubbed against him with their heads. It was all very strange!
On the other side.
Hearing the old man's voice, Ye Cangtian quickly turned his head and made a shushing gesture with his other hand.
The old man immediately understood and fell silent.
With such a bizarre phenomenon, perhaps he could really get the Ruin Sturgeon today. He didn't want to scare the fish away.
