Seeing their high-spirited appearance, he nodded contentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the sunken ship in the water was the territory of the White Dragon Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Huang San’s description and their abilities, the White Dragon Fish’s strength in water was extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t take action himself, and no one from the Green Snake Gang could handle the White Dragon Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, among Huang San and the others, the strongest, as described, was a skilled individual who had achieved Great Success in Qi-Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against the White Dragon Fish, even this level of strength offered little chance of retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Shi Xiaoyuan knew, only he could ensure safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Swimming Experience Value +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A notification appeared in front of Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill]: Swimming (Once Break Limit 1677\u002F2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at his panel, Jiang Ning’s gaze then continued to fall on the building ship on the surface of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had arrived here early and had already discovered the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation of the people on board had also reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is an unexpected surprise, it seems Wanhua Building still holds some secrets, even such hidden information is recorded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Dragon Fish, such spirited fish are indeed treasures! And a warehouse full of iron ore, that is a considerable fortune too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if it is as Shi Xiaoyuan said, where the White Dragon Fish resides, the growth of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would be the biggest gain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Jiang Ning felt eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he felt this possibility was very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Dragon Fish having such strength, merely growing on its own would be hard to achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures being present made the most logical possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he had made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since others were paving the way ahead, he didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of the White Dragon Fish was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as he knew, this world indeed had demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ancient times, when Immortals were numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demons were the domineering beings above the Human Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in this era, according to books, in remote barbaric regions, Great Demons still lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were dormant somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the White Dragon Fish, a spirited fish with such strength, probably an awakened spirited fish, necessitated Shi Xiaoyuan, an Eighth Grade Martial Arts expert, to personally enter the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such spirited fish could also be called demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the White Dragon Fish’s strength was beyond expectation, then with the Green Snake Gang probing ahead, he could easily retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the White Dragon Fish wasn’t a threat, not a match for Shi Xiaoyuan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he wouldn’t mind playing the role of a fisherman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casually, he would eliminate a menace for the people of Luoshui County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaoyuan, an Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm expert, no longer posed any threat in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now his strength was enough to give him such confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confidence unmatched below the Seventh Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the water, let alone Shi Xiaoyuan, even if facing Cao Rong, he dared to fight several rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plunk—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures leaped into the water from the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Ning also hung far behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, in the water, he was no different from on land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he wanted to hide, no one could find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, with Shi Xiaoyuan’s strength, it was impossible for him to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning’s five senses were now far beyond those of normal people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even underwater, he could see more than a hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people, given the water quality of the Luoshui River, could barely see about ten meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, his underwater vision was more than ten times that of an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His powerful hearing also allowed him to clearly hear the conversations on the surface of the river even while submerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was even clearer than on the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, following Shi Xiaoyuan and the others was exceptionally easy for Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trailed behind them by twenty to thirty meters, following them all the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaoyuan and his group moved from the shallow area into the deeper waters where the light became dimmer and visibility narrower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this place, Jiang Ning’s vision was also somewhat affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the previous hundred meters, it had sharply halved, now only about sixty meters remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaoyuan and the others started to change their breath in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They aligned the air bladders to their mouths and inhaled the fresh oxygen within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaoyuan gestured, asking Huang San how far they were from their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gesture below was a necessary skill for those making a living in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after diving in, it was impossible to verbally communicate, so they could only use hand signals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Huang San responded with a gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One breath’s distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this reply, Shi Xiaoyuan waved to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group again followed close behind Huang San, continuously diving deeper into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An outline of a large ship appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this sight, a smile couldn’t help but flicker across Shi Xiaoyuan’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, fear thickly clouded Huang San’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in the dark hull of the large ship, he saw a streak of white flash by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the streak was fleeting, it was immensely conspicuous in the dim underwater light, instantly drawing his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also made him recall his encounter here a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His escape had been possible only because the White Dragon Fish had not pursued him that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately signalled with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agitated water flow also caught Shi Xiaoyuan’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaoyuan also caught sight of the streak of white flashing in the shipwreck’s cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that streak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaoyuan instantly recognized it as the White Dragon Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Dragon Fish, a type of spiritual fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was named so because its scales were all white and its body was long and slender, resembling the dragons of legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fish was extremely rare, and its flesh incredibly delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mature White Dragon Fish was the dominant ruler of its waters, fast as a shooting star, its mouth lined with teeth sharp enough to cut through metal, with virtually no natural predators in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, its flesh was exceptional, a substantial nourishment for any martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could strengthen muscles and bones, enhance physique and Qi-Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any martial artist who ate a White Dragon Fish could count it as several months of hard training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, despite being the ruler of the waters, the White Dragon Fish was caught so often it was nearly extinct.\u003C\u002Fp>",1252,"2026-05-29T16:07:09.208Z","2026-06-01T04:29:41.389Z",1,"novelbin.me","466907780e1c24af0ce29291a233835b9fcc94d384d47a5bb0bc7ca304f392e7","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-163","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-161",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
