Chapter 357: Firey Lost Her Temper
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Himmel Soan’s analysis was reasonable, but he couldn’t prove it. He didn’t need to though. The others didn’t take him seriously. Even if he was right, they only saw him as an ordinary man and wouldn’t listen to him even if their principal had been so polite to him.
“Thank you, sir.” Vin cupped her hands at Himmel Soan.
She finally stopped worrying and calmed down. With Himmel Soan’s words, Vin was confident that she could catch the second fish. Other people might not recognize his prowess, but she did.
That man was definitely somebody. If a big shot like him said such a thing, it had to be true.
Vin changed the bait to a top-grade essence stone and threw it into the water without hesitation. People around her cried out when they saw this. What a waste!
“Did she just throw that in? Why’s there so much noise?”
“Is she really catching a second one?”
“She can’t be. The bait has barely touched the water. They have to have hired the fish for it to come so soon.”
“I don’t think it’s possible either!”
“That’s a top-grade essence stone. Why is it so strange that some small fish would take the bait? I think it’s totally possible!”
“In that case, is Manos going to lose?”
“I think so!”
Everybody was making guesses.
Vin finally let out a breath of relief. What a wise man! As soon as the top-grade essence stone hit the water, the fish took the bait!
Just as she was going to pull the fish out of the water, Himmel Soan immediately stopped her. “It’s not the right time. If you pull now, you’ll catch nothing.”
“But sir, the essence fish is already hooked. If we wait, it’ll get away!” Vin said anxiously.
Despite that, she still followed Himmel Soan’s instructions and kept the bait in the water. The wire soon became still again.
Had the fish escaped? Why didn’t she pull the rod?
Everybody was perplexed.
“What’s Vin thinking? Does she want to become Manos’s partner?”
“I don’t think so. She never liked him.”
“I see what’s going on here! She’s only been pretending! Her disdain is only a facade of her affection!”
“Bullshit. Vin is my favorite senior sister. She can’t become Manos’s cultivation partner. If that happens, I’ll give up alchemy!”
“The wire has stopped moving. Why won’t Vin pull it out? Does she want to fish without any bait?”
“I think she was too excited to pull the rod just then. She’s at a loss now after realizing what she has missed.”
They couldn’t stop talking about it. Too many unexpected twists had taken place. It was more exciting than a roller coaster ride.
“Vin, if you want to be my cultivation partner, you can just give up. You don’t need to go so far to let me win!”
Manos was thrilled. He was so nervous when the fishing wire swayed just then. He thought Vin was going to catch a second fish. If that were the case, he would have to jump into the river, which would definitely kill him.
What happened next was so unexpected that he was over the moon. He didn’t know if Vin had done it on purpose, but he was glad that it had happened.
It felt like God’s will!
“Sir, are you sure we don’t need to pull it out?” Vin ignored Manos.
She had been following Himmel Soan’s instructions since she switched the bait. She would do everything he said. Even their principal respected this man, so she didn’t think he would trick her on such a matter.
“Wait for the next sway, but don’t pull it just yet. When the wire shakes for the third time, pull it right away!”
Vin was relieved, but Manos couldn’t stand it. “The third time? You’ve got to be kidding me! No, I guess I should thank you. If you hadn’t been misleading Vin, she wouldn’t have become my cultivation partner later.
“Thank you, Master Mislead!”
Manos praised Himmel Soan in a sarcastic tone. It sounded more humiliating than pure taunting.
Himmel Soan smiled without getting offended.
“It’s too early to reach any conclusion yet. You never know what will happen until it happens.”
That was all Himmel Soan said. He then stared at the river in silence.
Manos frowned. He found those words so vague that he couldn’t understand a thing.
Wasn’t it so obvious what had happened? What more conclusions did this man need? Such a poser!
Manos decided he had been right about this man.
“You’re full of bullshit, but you can’t fool me!” Manos continued to taunt Himmel Soan, but he then felt a suffocating burst of heat.
“What did you say? One more word, and I’ll roast you like a fish!” Firey was so angry that energy burst out of her. The heatwave enveloped the entire school.
Manos swallowed. His face darkened, but he chose not to speak a word. He was surprised by Firey’s burst of energy. He was just a peak Virtualization cultivator and got intimidated.
Almost everybody was shocked. Some of them knew Firey was the genius who had passed nine levels in the tower, but they didn’t know her exact cultivation level. They assumed she was at most a Golden Core cultivator because she was just a little girl!
The lower one’s level, the easier it was to get through the tower. Therefore, many people believed Firey was a talented Golden Core cultivator with a bright future.
But now, they knew how wrong they had been. She was so powerful!
If she was so strong, what about that man behind her?
