Chapter 307: Is This Even Humanly Possible? Xiao Jie Is Right Beside Me! (Subscribe Please)

~4 min read 635 words

Monsters, rare beasts, treasures, secret treasures, demonic realms, secret realms…

The magic emanating from these 【unknowns】 draws certain people who are utterly obsessed with that power.

The world calls these people—

Hunters!

Every hunter carries one or more goals they chase after.

That is the conviction that made them hunters.

Yet becoming a hunter is no ordinary matter.

The normal path is to take the Hunters' annual exam—a single-log bridge for ten thousand troops, as the saying goes.

The success rate is extremely low.

Out of countless people, only a very few have a ch~ance of becoming hunters.

There are even years when not a single person passes the exam.

Even so, the benefits of becoming a hunter still drive countless people to flock to it.

The date of the Hunter Exam is always fixed at the beginning of January.

First, people must use various modes of transport to reach the exam's location.

These transports also belong to the Lierenxie Society—only they know where that year's exam site is.

A ship departing from Whale Island is one of them.

Its name is 【Sea God】.

The vessel cut forward across the shimmering sea, leaving layer upon layer of ripples in its wake.

Luo Ge sat in a delicate chair, perfectly at ease.

A fishing rod in hand, he sat at the ship's edge and cast his line.

Looking back, the experiences he'd had since arriving in the Hunter World were quite rich indeed.

From 1986 to now, 1999—nearly thirteen years.

He had grown from a boy of thirteen or fourteen into the twenty-six-year-old young man he was now.

He possessed top-tier strength across the six continents, had single-handedly built his own financial empire, and commanded a force of considerable might.

He had even, in truth, come to possess a country of his very own.

One could call his life remarkably splendid.

Even now, when he could already stride sideways across the six continents, the plot had only just begun.

That sense of ease—only he himself could truly grasp it.

An adorable Eevee lay on his shoulder, a pair of round, glossy eyes fixed on the azure sea, drowsiness slowly creeping in.

Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out.

"Wow, your fishing rod is so delicate!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Ge turned his head to look.

An unusually familiar face came into view—only this face was noticeably younger and more boyish than the one he'd seen before.

He was Ging Freecss's son, and the protagonist of Hunter—Gon Freecss.

Short for Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie was dressed in dark green clothes, a somewhat unusual fishing rod in hand—barely passable as a weapon.

Luo Ge withdrew his gaze and watched his own bobber with an air of composure.

"It's alright, I guess."

"Just so-so looking."

Xiao Jie scratched his head, feeling something was off, yet somehow nothing was.

"Mr., the ship is moving—fishing like this, you're unlikely to get any bites."

Fishing while the ship was moving at speed.

This was Xiao Jie's first time seeing such a thing.

Could you really catch a fish this way?

"Don't underestimate my fishing rod—it can do many things you can't imagine."

"Catching fish in a situation like this is easy enough."

A smile tugged at the corner of Luo Ge's mouth.

The next moment, the bobber twitched.

Luo Ge applied a gentle pull, and a massive fish in the water was instantly hurled into the air by terrifying force, then slammed onto the deck with a heavy thud.

The weighty fish even rocked the entire vessel a few times, as if a great storm had struck.

In an instant, countless people on the deck stared dumbfounded at the enormous sea fish, their faces written over with disbelief.

What a joke!

A fish this huge—how could any human possibly haul it up?
