    [yer Windcloud Temptation has sessfully reached the finals and entered the depths of the Water World.]


    [yer Maylia has sessfully reached the finals and entered the depths of the Water World.]


    [yer Cat in Tiger’s Clothing has sessfully reached the finals and entered the depths of the Water World.]


    ...


    However, the yers currently could not even exim in time because another ten yers were teleported one after another into the finals map after Li Yi.


    Li Yi’s Wind-battered Fishing Hat was indeed very powerful but he was not a pure lifestyle yer after all. Nheless, the number of pure lifestyle yers in King of Pantheon was not insignificant because even if there were less than one million people, they were still over five hundred thousand. They were certainly not up to par in regards to PK but Li Yi could not surpass them in terms of fishing skills.


    White light shed before his eyes as Li Yi appeared in the depths of Water World.


    This map had a little ind as its center, but the difference between it and the first map was that the ponds could be found everywhere around the little ind before him. He could also see various species of fish that were happily swimming around.


    Li Yi took out a small piece of fresh meat from his Backpack and hung it on his fishing hook. Then, he cast it into one of the ponds below his feet.


    There was a school of strange fish with tiger stripes that was swimming around in the pond below his feet. This type of fish was called the Tigerskin Fish and it was a fish species that was so distinctive to the depths of Water World that it could only be hooked and baited with fresh meat.


    The fishing bait violently vibrated while Li Yi spared no effort to lift it horizontally before he pulled up a Tigerskin Fish.


    Li Yi did not stop to rest at all after he had hooked the Tigerskin Fish. Instead, he took hurried steps forward before he rushed into a pond downwards.


    Suddenly, Li Yi’s heart dropped when he opened the Fishing Grand Prix ranking board.


    The cings on the Fishing Grand Prix ranking board were frequently changing. Right now, Snickersnee was ranked at first ce with a result of 695 points, along with Windcloud Temptation was ranked second with 679 points while Li Yi was ranked thirteen with 551 points — he could not even enter the top ten.


    F*ck this group of OPs!


    Despite wearing a Wind-battered Fishing Hat on his head and knowing very well the fishing spots’ respawning locations, he had yet to actually drag these OP yers down, which was truly unbelievable.


    Li Yiined while simultaneously increasing his fishing speed. He had used his Fiery Boots special skill, Crimson Tiger King, and basically all of the elerating items.


    The scores on the ranking board intensely fluctuated. Windcloud Temptation who ranked second quickly caught up after that and overtook Snickersnee in five short minutes. He was currently ranked at first ce with a score of 700 points!


    Although Li Yi did all he could to pursue them, it was tragic that his ranking did not improve. Instead, it dropped by one ranking as well.


    “Bang!”


    Li Yi hooked up a long-tailed Antic blue marlin and his ranking immediately went up. It leaped five rankings forward which then put him at ninth ce.


    One’s points would increase by 20 every time they hooked one type of fish. If it was a rare type, their points would be multiplied once. However, if they continuously caught a single type of fish, that fish would only give them one measly point.


    So, they had to constantly hook new species of fish. They were in for a good time if they hooked rare ones time and time again because in that case, they could leap to the first five ces after two or three times.


    As the Fishing Grand Prix was anxiously ongoing, the yers that were being teleported to this map increased. Fortunately, Li Yi had sessfully left the little ind before all of the great forces arrived.


    When Li Yi ran to the edge of the little ind to take a look, he was so angered to the point where he did not know how to react.


    One yer was stood on each of the boats that had respawned on the side of the ind. Yet these yers neither fished nor rowed away. They simply stood still on their boats.


    They were too shameless.


    They had upied all the boats but did not want to row or move them. By doing this, no more new boats could respawn or appear while other yers would have no way ofpeting with them.


    “Windcloud Dummy, Windcloud Laughter, Windcloud Bebe... F*ck, they’re all members of the Windcloud n.”


    Although the people who stood on the boats had hidden their names, Li Yi could recognize who they were when he saw their faces.


    Without an exception, all of them were from the most prestigious family in the Western Continent, the Windcloud n.


    Their rankings were not low either but to protect Windcloud Temptation’s position in the first ce, they had actually given up on advancing. This really made Li Yi speechless.


    So, Li Yi jumped into the water and swam forward.


    He could not get himself entangled with them. Otherwise, the distance between them would only grow further.


    Li Yi swam further and further away. He gradually left the little ind but he immediately stopped when he discovered a fishing spot. He fished while his body was still half-immersed in the water.


    Although he was very unhappy with this current method of fishing, this was the only way he could do it without a boat.


    Snickersnee’s ranking had risen again but nobody knew what he had caught for his points to take a sudden leap to 780 points. With that, it allowed him to directly overtake Windcloud Temptation’s 776 points and take the lead sessfully.


    Li Yi currently had 650 points and wascking by over a hundred points.


    He still needed to increase his efforts!


    Li Yi had no other alternative but to fish in the water. Since ground mounts could not be used in the water, he could only rely on swimming as a way to go forward.


    Damn Ice Toad King, it was really annoying that it could not swim even though it was a toad.


    Li Yi cursed a few times before he swam forward with great effort.


    The mist before his eyes gradually vanished before Li Yi saw two people in front of him.


    The bare-chested youth who was riding a tortoise while fishing was actually Snickersnee while the other person was a female yer. She rode a blue seahorse and had an exquisite little face that could be as seductive as she wanted. In the words of an expert, this girl had the face of a mistress.


    She was none other than one of the Windcloud n’s key figures, Windcloud Temptation.


    This was what they called a pure lifestyle ss yer.


    Li Yi helplessly sighed before flinging his rod away.


    The Tortoise Mount was fairly unconventional but its appearance was definitely considered trendy. Perhaps it only had one function because even though it could be used to fish with a hook and rod, the probability of hooking something was realistically too difficult.


    With this item, you could hook something up even if you did not ce your rod properly. All you need was explosive luck. However, if you were unlucky, it was quite a normal situation if you still failed to hook something after an extremely long period of time.


    This was the item that was known to be something that could not be hooked even with a million rods. It was also known as something that had made numerous pure lifestyle ss yers cry and a God-tier mount that made the main tank ss weep.


    The Tortoise Mount’s SPD onnd was 20% while its SPD in water was 100%. Of course, this was unimportant while the crucial part was that it would passively increase its owner’s basic HP limit by 10%.


    To be able to hook up a God-tier mount like this, He was truly a powerful individual.


    When he looked at Windcloud Temptation’s Seahorse Mount again, Li Yi envied it even more. This item could not be used onnd but its SPD in the water could reach 150%. It was faster than the tortoise and it could passively give its owner a 100 point increase in INT. Though the method of obtaining it was even harder than getting a Tortoise Mount.


    The Seahorse Mount could only be obtained by fishing in the deep sea. Moreover, if a yer did not have a Tortoise Mount or other types of water mounts, they would not be able to withstand the water pressure in the deep sea even if they took potions to help them breathe underwater. They could stay there for 1 minute at most before they had to get out of the deep sea, or else they would drown to death.


    There was only one way to do it, and that was to purchase an expensive potion to let them move above the water. This would allow them to float on the surface of the water while they engaged in fishing with a line and hook.


    Even if they desired to obtain a Seahorse Mount, it was definitely an impossible task if they did not have amazing willpower or conditions.


    “Your Tortoise is really great.” Windcloud Temptation smiled sweetly at Snickersnee.


    “So is your Seahorse.” Snickersnee teasingly smiled but purposely avoided looking at her.


    Li Yi directly sidestepped both of them and went forward to fish.


    When the people without water mounts were fishing with those who had mounts, the pressure was huge.


    Now, the points of those who were ranked at the top ten on the ranking board were extremely close. Li Yi was constantly going back and forth between ninth and tenth ce. Even though he was desperately pursuing it, he remained at a standstill.


    By looking at it from the surface, Li Yi’s current performance was very exhausting. Yet in reality, his Fishing Mastery was increasing at lightning speed while his Wind-battered Fishing Hat required the support of an extremely high Mastery for it to disy its true power.


    Now that he had obtained this godlike hat, it would be really disappointing if he could not even advance and enter the top ten.


    The bobber moved back and forth in the water, and that meant that a big fish had bitten the hook.


    Li Yi held his breath and pulled it back in a roundabout manner while he spared no effort in raising it upwards.


    System Notification: [The fish has broken free from the hook...]


    F*ck!


    On the other hand, Snickersnee and Windcloud Temptation wereparatively energetic. Both of them werepeting and advancing all along; wherever one went, the other would follow. Their fishing scores were also the same as their points moved up and down. One of them would always be ahead of the other and vice versa. They were fighting quite intensely even though both of their scores had greatly surpassed the yer in third ce by over a hundred.


    The benefits of owning an underwater mount were bing clearer. Its SPD was fast, and the sess rate of fishing while sitting on a mount was much higher than soaking half of your body in the water.


    By fishing on this map, the drop rates of Tattered Treasure Bags increased again. Within a short period of time, Li Yi had obtained more than 100 Treasure Bags. Though, he did not open them. Instead, he umted them all this while because he was waiting to open all of them in one go after collecting a few more.


    More than ten types of rare items had already appeared on the System’s announcements such as Reinforced Resurrection Spell Skill Tomes, Forbidden Spell Skill Tomes, and gold-colored rare equipment among other things had all appeared already.


    That item was the only thing that wascking.


    Li Yi kept staring at the System’s announcement spam.


    When the ranking board’s total score had reached 1000 points, the yers would be teleported to the final map, Ultimate Water World to engage in the final ranking battle.


    The final map only allowed the first ten yers on the ranking board to enter, and this was the reason as to why Li Yi had been frantically advancing his ranking all along.


    Up until the present, that item had yet to be discovered by anyone. So, only one possibility was left, that it waspletely impossible for that item to appear in the Treasure Bags that were produced on thest two maps, and it would only be produced on the final map. If this was truly the case, then he really could not lose.


    The System’s rainbow-colored messages appeared again. Windcloud Temptation was the first one to enter the Ultimate Water World map before Snickersnee was also teleported inside about 7 secondster.


    At this moment, Li Yi’s ranking dropped again to the 11th ce.


    Fishing and PK were twopletely different things. Li Yi’s PK skills were definitely first-ss, but when it came to fishing, he wascking in more ways than one. Without angling experience over a long period of time, he would only lose out despite wearing the godlike Fishing Hat.


    [yer Maylia has sessfully reached the grand finals and entered the Ultimate Water World. The current number of ces left: 3/10.]


    Two minutester, the yer who was ranked third was teleported inside, followed by fourth ce, fifth ce...


    Li Yi lifted his fishing rod but as another big fish escaped, it caused his ranking to drop by another ce again. That instantly discouraged him.


    F*ck, he was actually going to lose.


    Li Yi listlessly flung his rod into the water while his mood turned gloomy.


    A yer named Inhuman’s Poprity greatly exploded when he actually hooked a super rare Seal Mount!


    A System Notification in bold red letters appeared. That yer named Inhuman who was previously ranked at the 19th ce now experienced a lucky turn of events when he hooked the Seal Mount because his ranking immediately soared by 10 spots straight to the ninth ce!


    F*ck!


    Including Inhuman, 9 yers had already entered the Ultimate Map while his current ranking had presently dropped to 15th ce.


    There was no more hope and he had truly lost tragically.


    Ding!


    When Li Yi hadpletely lost his will to fight, the sound of a cheerful System Notification echoed beside his ear. [Your hook has been bitten by a super rare species of fish...]


    Li Yi stared nkly before he pulled it out from the water with a gust of great strength. It dragged him a few hundred meters forward when he pulled it but he did not stop at all...


    It was a super rare big fish!


    Li Yi was suddenly ecstatic.
