1648 The Turbulent Void Whirlpool!
Sikong the Second caught three fishes in succession; on the other hand, Wang Teng had nothing thus far.
There were less than two hours left, and the ship would soon leave the void torrent belt.
Little Teng, youre going to lose! The elder gloated.
Instructor, Im sure youve fished here more than just once, the hero replied calmly.
Ahahahaha, what are you talking about? I dont understand what youre saying. The senior laughed awkwardly.
Wang Teng rolled his eyes but didnt press on the matter.
He was considering whether to add some extra bait. He didnt want to lose.
Although risky, there was no other choice. He could only give it a try.
Sikong the Second smiled when he saw the young hero like that.
He was eager to see what the latter would do. The most dangerous part about void fishing was not knowing what you would catch.
If not managed properly, the angler might very well become the prey instead.
In the end, Wang Teng decided to wait a little longer. The void torrent belt was unpredictable; just the flux of currents below was enough to keep him occupied.
He would be toast if he encountered something difficult to deal with!
Time flew.
Half an hour passed. The hero suddenly focused his gaze.
Even the instructor became serious for a moment as he looked towards the left.
There was a turbulent whirlpool with chaotic energies; it seemed extremely violent.
The warship immediately steered clear of the area, but the pair still felt a tremor coming from the ships hull.
It was clear that the craft was resisting the whirlpools pull.
While the turbulent vortex shocked the hero, he was happily surprised at the same time.
Attribute bubbles!
Wang Teng saw a few of those goodies floating above the whirlpool.
What a surprise!
He was truly amazed, not expecting to find attributes in the void torrent belt.
The young hero immediately tried to collect them.
However, an unexpected situation took place at the moment.
Just as his spiritual power approached the whirlpool, the wisp was pulled in severed, losing all contact.
Wang Tengs expression changed a bit. He couldnt believe it; his spiritual power was not working.
This turbulent whirlpool is dangerous; even spiritual power can be pulled in. Sikong the Second smiled and said, But you can try and see how far you can go.
The heros eyes flashed as his spiritual power surged again. He sent more of it.
If his previous incursion was like a thin thread, now it was as thick as a rope.
Boom!
Wang Teng suddenly felt his mind shake as a powerful suction force came from within the whirlpool, traveling towards his spiritual power.
The sensation was overwhelming. The suction force was too great.
However, he still managed to pick up some attribute bubbles.
Time*20
Time*15
Space*250
Space*300
Wang Teng instantly felt a shiver run across his body. He was astonished.
Time and space attributes!
There were lots of them.
He managed to obtain thirty-five points of the time attribute.
The prior collecting rate in the past was one or two points. Never had he gotten dozens of points at one go.
Wang Teng was in disbelief while the unusual power circulated within him. His face almost revealed the surprise he felt.
Fortunately, he managed to control his emotions, not letting the instructor to notice.
Time: 565/10000
Space Physique: 4050/400000 (fourth-rank)
Wang Teng glanced at the attributes board.
The time attribute climbed slowly as usual. However, he could clearly feel that the stats mastery reflected a slight improvement.
He didnt know what would happen when he reached the ten thousand marker. He could only endure and wait.
His current gains could at least provide him with some help now.
If he didnt have the time attribute when he faced Devil Emperor Bare Brain, the universe stage expert, he wouldnt have been able to fight against him. He would have been killed with just one slap, and he wouldnt have been able to unleash the Space Tornado.
As for his Space Physique, it remained at the fourth rank. The progress wasnt significant.
This constitution required more attribute points to advance as he progressed. Unless there were special circumstances, it would be difficult for him to make significant improvements.
Sikong the Second thought that the young hero had failed, so he asked with a smile, Well? Do you want to try again?
Of course. Im just getting started; I have to see how deep I can go. Wang Teng turned to glance at him, then released his spiritual power. The surge was still as thick as a rope, but now it was more condensed.
He did this only to buy time and see if he could collect more time attribute bubbles.
The attribute was too rare; he couldnt miss the opportunity to get some.
Of course, he was also genuinely curious about what laid on the other side of the whirlpool. Why was it generating time and space attributes?
He straight out sent his spiritual power into the whirlpool to investigate.
The prior attempts had obviously prepared him; he condensed half of his spiritual power into a single strand. However, the power was instantly crushed into pieces as soon as the power entered the whirlpool.
Wang Teng sighed and decided to stop trying.
Damn, this whirlpool is just a trap. It wasnt something he could touch at the moment.
However, just then, a few attribute bubbles emerged from the whirlpool, right before Wang Tengs eyes.
He raised an eyebrow and immediately collected them, losing another tenth of his spiritual power.
Time*25
Time*35
Space*500
Space*650
There actually more than before! His eyes lit up, truly surprised.
He had a sudden thought. Could it be that the attribute bubbles emerged because of the whirlpools reaction to my spiritual power?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
The undying flame in his heart lit up again.
Why not give it another try?
Just one more time!
The hero gauged his remaining spiritual power. There should be enough for one more.
Without hesitation, he immediately released the remaining spiritual power into the whirlpool.
Boom!
His spiritual power was obliterated!
Wang Teng glared intently at the whirlpool.
He rejoiced the next moment. As expected, several attribute bubbles emerged from the whirlpool.
Without thinking, he used his last trace of spiritual power and collected them.
Time*20
Time*30
Space*400
Space*450
The young hero was overjoyed after getting many attribute bubbles.
However, that was the end of it; he no longer had enough spiritual power to try again.
Three times was the limit, leaving him in bad shape. His spiritual power was shattered and almost used up. He could only focus on recovering slowly.
Fortunately, he was able to use his spiritual power to explore the whirlpool for a bit
It would have been much more troublesome if he were just an ordinary martial warrior.
His gains were impressive. The amount of time attribute bubbles he collected was worth many days of farming.
His prior chances to collect the attribute were only when he stared into the Dark Universe while traveling in his spacecraft.
The methods were similar, but the whirlpool needed much less time and effort in comparison.
How was it? asked Sikong the Second.
The man thought that the hero was merely curious about the sudden maelstrom, unaware of the benefits the latter obtained. The fellow seemed to be teasing his junior.
I didnt feel anything. Wang Teng pretended to be dejected.
Hahaha... The instructor laughed again, seemingly relishing the lads defeat. Its normal for young people to be curious. I understand.
Laugh all you want! The young hero rolled his eyes. Does he really think I enjoy doing useless things?
The instructor was too naive!
All right. We should go. Sikong the Second waved a hand, and the warship started to escape the whirlpools pulling influence.
Boom!
Just then, the young mans fishing rod sank all of a sudden; a wave surged from the currents below.
It cant be! The expert was taken aback.
Hahaha, instructor, I caught something. Wang Teng was filled with joy.
It seemed that flowers wouldnt bloom when you want them to, but they did when you least expect it!
He tightly held onto his fishing rod while a tremendous force was pulling back, trying to take him down.
The instructor became serious as he cautioned, Dont get too happy. Hold on tight.
Catching something near the whirlpool was very likely something of low value, but it would definitely be fierce.
Wang Teng naturally understood this and immediately used his Ancient Gods body. A golden pattern appeared on his forehead.
Boom!
There was a terrifying surge of power coursing through his body. The muscles in his arms swelled; it wasnt to a dramatical degree, but they released unimaginable strength that rushed into the chaotic flow of the void along the fishing rod.
Never had the hero thought that one day he would use that mystic constitution to fish.
The people of the Ancient Gods race would probably want to strangle him if they could see what he was doing.
Sikong the Second was standing right next to him, and immediately sensed the blood and energy coursing within the lad. He was astonished.
He had seen the young heros performance during the League of Talents, but only from a distance; he didnt have such a clear sense of it back then.
That was why his astonishment was greater.
What ancient race did this come from? Its so terrifying! the instructor muttered to himself.
Wang Teng and the existence beneath the turbulent whirlpool engaged in a tug of war. The fishing line was constantly being extended and pulled back; neither could overpower the other for a while.
No one knew whether the fish would break free or if the hero would ultimately succeed.
