I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 133: Test of Strength, Li Qi of White Mountain

Aotou Island is similar to Sitting Oblivion Beach, with half submerged in water and half exposed above the surface.

And both places have their own wonders, one being the "Spirit Turtle's Breath" and the other being the "Spirit Turtle's Exhalation".

However, Aotou Island is circular and much larger in size compared to Sitting Oblivion Beach.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly, and there are already many fishermen on the island.

Fu Ning pressed down on the cloud and the small island in front of him became closer and closer.

After just a few breaths, his feet sank and he had already landed on the small island.

Just as Fu Ning was about to retract the White Cloud, a voice came from behind him.

"Sure enough, it's Junior Brother Fu Ning~"

Fu Ning was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar, so he turned his head and saw a figure with a round belly.

"Senior Brother Zhou?! What a coincidence~"

Zhou Ye smiled foolishly, "Yesterday... cough cough, the gathering, I heard Senior Sister Gan mention you, didn't expect to meet you today."

Fu Ning scratched his head, "Speaking of which, this is my first time here, so please enlighten me, Senior Brother."

"Your first time fishing? A beginner?" Zhou Ye's eyes lit up, "That's great. Beginner fishermen usually have good luck."

"Today, Senior Brother will benefit from Junior Brother's luck and might even catch a big catch."

As he said that, he rubbed his hands together, his face filled with anticipation.

Fu Ning smiled awkwardly. He had heard before in his past life that beginner fishermen usually receive a big gift package.

He wondered if he would be so lucky.

"Oh, by the way..."

"Junior Brother, do you know the rules for fishing on Aotou Island?"

Just as the two were about to continue walking forward, Senior Brother Zhou suddenly pointed in the direction of the entrance to Aotou Island and asked.

Fu Ning furrowed his brows, "Rules?"

Then he followed Senior Brother Zhou's direction and saw that there were many figures standing at the entrance of Aotou Island, seemingly waiting for something.

"I remember that fishing tasks don't have any cultivation requirements," Fu Ning said.

Senior Brother Zhou nodded and explained, "Junior Brother, you are not aware. Indeed, fishing tasks do not have any cultivation requirements, but fishing on Aotou Island requires strength."

"Strength?"

"Yes, near Aotou Island, there are 'Tiger-Spotted Fish' inhabiting the area. These fish have immense strength and can wrestle with a thousand-jin strongman in the water."

"If a fisherman's strength is insufficient, they might be dragged into the sea."

So, if you want to fish here, you must first pass a strength test."

Fu Ning nodded. He wasn't worried about the strength test.

During this period, he had been diligently practicing the "Spirit Turtle's Twenty-Eight Crossings," so his strength should be no weaker than an ordinary Little Yellow Courtyard Scenic Scholar.

However, Senior Brother Zhou didn't know the details and still looked slightly worried when he looked at Fu Ning.

Fu Ning didn't pay much attention to it and just continued walking forward on his own.

Before long, the two had already arrived at the entrance of Aotou Island.

At this moment, the crowd surrounding the entrance had not diminished in the slightest.

"Begin!"

At this moment, a low shout came.

Fu Ning stood outside the crowd and looked inside. He saw a large tripod standing in the middle.

The large tripod had two ears and three legs, standing at a height of more than half a person. It was impossible to embrace it with both hands. It was made entirely of bronze and covered in animal patterns. It looked like it weighed at least a thousand jin.

And at this moment, there was a person standing in front of the tripod. This person was dressed in white, with his sleeves rolled up, revealing muscular arms.

"Begin!"

As he shouted, an illusion of an Ash Carp appeared around him.

The Ash Carp flicked its tail and leaped up, creating a splash of water.

In the next moment, the large cauldron in front of me first swayed, and then slowly lifted off the ground.

One inch, two inches, three inches!

"Good!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Immediately, the disciple next to him spoke up, "White Mountain Cheng Ming, qualified!"

As the sound fell, the large cauldron suddenly sank.

Buzz~

The cauldron fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

The senior brother from White Mountain finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Junior brother, this is the trial of Ao Tou Island."

Senior brother Zhou Ye's voice sounded timely.

"The middle cauldron weighs 1,300 kilograms. As long as you lift it three inches off the ground with your bare hands, you pass the wrestling trial."

"Three inches off the ground?"

"That's right. Generally speaking, as long as you open..."

At this point, senior brother Zhou Ye paused in his tone, suddenly remembering that this junior brother in front of him had not yet opened the Scenic Palace due to his injuries.

So after a light cough, he changed his wording, "Or... after transforming any kind of Origin Spirit, it is possible to lift that cauldron."

"I see."

Fu Ning nodded silently in response.

Although it was said to lift the cauldron with bare hands, Origin Spirit could be used.

With Fu Ning's current mid-level cultivation in the Little Yellow Courtyard, plus the Origin Spirit in his inner view, it was as simple as can be to lift the cauldron.

But in Zhou Ye's eyes, he saw his junior brother pondering silently, thinking that he might have been discouraged. So he quickly comforted him, "Junior brother, the fishing task is not that rewarding either."

"If it weren't for cooking, I wouldn't bother coming here to endure the wind and sun."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ning was first stunned, then understood Zhou's intention, and felt warm in his heart. So he said, "Senior brother, I just want to give it a try."

"Give it a try?" Zhou Ye saw that Fu Ning was not discouraged by this, so he smiled and said, "Of course you can."

"It doesn't matter if junior brother can't lift it."

"Don't worry about being laughed at, senior brother tried seven times before successfully lifting it three inches."

While he was self-deprecating, a light laughter suddenly came from behind, "Isn't this senior brother Zhou from Red Mountain?"

"Haha, seven times... Haha, Red Mountain is truly unique. Senior brother Zhou is truly the most unique."

Hearing the voice, Zhou Ye's expression visibly darkened.

Fu Ning also frowned. The two of them turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw three disciples from White Mountain walking towards them, appearing out of nowhere.

The leader, in his twenties, had an average build and was shaking a folding fan in his hand.

His face was delicate, with rouge applied to his lips, exuding a hint of femininity in every move.

Neither scholarly nor martial, neither male nor female.

His face seemed to say three words: "I'm seductive."

Fu Ning suddenly remembered what his senior uncle had said when he first arrived at Spirit Turtle Island.

"There are more women than men in White Mountain, with yin overpowering yang, which is not conducive to cultivation."

Now it seemed that his senior uncle's words were indeed insightful.

At this moment, Zhou Ye whispered, "Junior brother, this second chair is White Mountain's Li Qi."

"This person has always been at odds with our Red Mountain. Just ignore his words and leave the rest to senior brother."

After speaking, a smile squeezed out on his round face, "So it's junior brother Li... ahem, junior brother Li."

"It's been a while. Junior brother is... still as outstanding as ever."

He finished speaking and couldn't help but smack his lips, deliberately looking up and down at the other person, not hiding the smile in his eyes.

Li Qi seemed to not hear the sarcasm in his words. He continued to sway the folding fan in his hand, only humming softly through his nose. He lifted his eyes, glanced at Zhou Ye, and landed on Fu Ning next to him.
