Chapter 111: Chapter 101 Obtained the Treasure Fish, Breaking Realm (10,000 Words to Solicit Subscriptions)_6

“He’s only flexing his muscles now because we’re in a bind,”

Chen Jie responded after hearing this, “I see. Uncle Zhong, Brother Hong have already said as much, so if I can enter the Refining Body Realm within four days, may I participate in this big contest?”

Wu Zhong thought for a moment and said, “If you can really break through to the Refining Body Realm in four days, it’s not hard to let you compete. Just mention it to Sect Master Peng and change the rules of the arena.”

“Arena rules?”

Chen Jie wanted to understand these rules clearly.

Wu Zhong explained, “Actually, there have always been two rules in the arena. The first is that managers fight managers and the other is a free challenge system. As long as the challenger successfully defends the arena, then any disciple from the opponent’s guild can replace the manager in combat.”

...

“Now that I’m injured and cannot join the battle for the Village Chief, if I propose to switch to the second set of rules, then I expect both the Fishing Guild and Guild Cao would agree, and Yu Biao would likely consent as well.”

Hearing this, Wu Hong and Chen Jie both understood.

If Yu Biao knew it was this mode of competition, he would definitely let Chen Jie enter the arena, where he could kill Chen Jie on the stage without anyone being able to hassle him afterward.

Because all of this would be within the rules.

Rules, yes, after Mianshui County established these rules, all guild disciples had to follow them.

Seeking private revenge and stirring up troubles involves risks.

But killing an opponent in the arena brings no need for accountability.

Therefore, all guild members must adhere to this rule, of course, except for those who set the rules themselves. But to be the one who sets the rules, you must be strong enough!

And when you’re not powerful enough to disregard the rules, then you follow them!

Chen Jie, in fact, was also preparing to abide by the rules, participating in this Land Officer Competition.

He had two goals in total. First, to make a good impression in front of the Fishing Guild, or more precisely, in front of Peng Shizhong, in hopes of being noticed and grabbing an opportunity to rise.

The second was to kill Yu Biao on the stage, once and for all.

Because killing this viper openly on the stage would not result in targeted revenge from Guild Cao, but a clandestine attack, killing a manager from Guild Cao.

Yu Biao didn’t dare kill Wu Zhong openly.

Then would Chen Jie dare to kill Yu Biao?

Both managers at the bottom rung, each representing the face of their respective guilds—if one died inexplicably, what could their guild do?

They would undoubtedly investigate, and, if found out, it would trigger a vendetta from the entire Guild Cao, and Chen Jie did not dare to bet he could survive that!

So, it’s better to kill Yu Biao rightfully on the stage.

That way, while he eliminated his adversary, he could also make himself known within the Fishing Guild.

Assassination is a vendetta, but a rightful defeat is a commendable achievement in the Fishing Guild; it counts as merit.

If you want to climb upwards, it’s impossible without merit!

That was Chen Jie’s aim.

At this moment, Wu Zhong looked earnestly at Chen Jie and asked, “Jiu Si, are you certain you can break into the Refining Body Realm within four days? It’s no joke.”

Doctor Bai also looked at Chen Jie and said, “Yes, Jiu Si, this isn’t a matter to take lightly. I know you want to stand out, but this isn’t the way to gamble with your life!”

Doctor Bai spoke gravely, while Wu Hong added, “Jiu Si, why don’t you just stop mixing with the Fishing Guild? What they do isn’t clean. It’s better to follow me. Once I’m better, I’ll speak to my master upon my return and see if I can help you get a constable position. Mixing with guilds is not a good idea in the long run.”

Wu Hong, as someone indoctrinated by Zhang Liye, despised guild members, even though his entire family belonged to one.

For some reason, he held a stubborn sense of justice deep within his bones.

He believed government was righteous and guild members were disturbers of social order, the dregs of society.

In reality, that might make sense in other dynasties, but this is the Daqian Dynasty!

The Daqian Dynasty is not like that at all!

Listening to the advice of several people, Chen Jie then spoke up, “Uncle Zhong, Master, Brother Hong, there is something I haven’t told you.”

“Oh? What is it?”

Several people looked at Chen Jie, who said, “Do you remember that Bull Horn Shrimp Yu Biao has been searching for all this time?”

“Of course.”

Not only Yu Biao, but the Fishing Guild had also been seeking the Bull Horn Shrimp.

Chen Jie said, “Mm, I’ve found that fish.”

“What?!”

As Chen Jie spoke nonchalantly, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief. The Bull Horn Shrimp that you found so easily? How could that be possible!

The Fishing Guild and Guild Cao had deployed hundreds without success, yet you found it just like that?

As Chen Jie spoke, he turned to Su Yunjin and said, “Yunjin, go to the room and bring the fish basket here.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin immediately went to the room and quickly came back with a fish basket. Opening it, they all saw the Bull Horn Shrimp!

Doctor Bai, Wu Zhong, and Wu Hong all widened their eyes in shock.

To think that the treasure fish, the Bull Horn Shrimp, was indeed obtained by Chen Jie…

“Jiu Si, how on earth did you manage this!”

They all looked at Chen Jie in amazement.

Chen Jie just smiled and said, “It’s just luck, only luck!”

Hearing this, Wu Hong said, “Luck is good; brother, you should have more luck like this, catch a few for me too, to strengthen the body.”

Chen Jie replied, “There ought to be some in the Mianshui River as well.”

Wu Zhong then looked at Doctor Bai and said, “Dad, with this Bull Horn Shrimp, is it possible for Jiu Si to break through to the Refining Meat Realm within four days?”

Chen Jie also looked at Doctor Bai.

At that moment, Doctor Bai touched his beard and said, “A Bull Horn Shrimp of this size, at least twenty years old, combined with ginseng, astragalus, cassia seed, and sixteen other medicinal herbs, can be made into Blood Replenishing Soup. Taking it would greatly nourish one and breaking through to the Refining Body Realm is indeed a possibility!”

Hearing this, everyone became excited, especially Chen Jie, who then cupped his hands and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Master!”
