Another cast? Wang Xuan's relaxed nerves tightened instantly. Fishing may seem calm, but each time it's a matter of life and death for him.

If I were to actually catch an extraordinary person, I would definitely want to squeeze him to pieces. How could the overlords of various regions in the extraordinary Central Great Universe be treated like fish to be caught?

In a sense, Wang Xuan may not have touched the fishing rod, but he himself was already like bait on the hook.

So he was completely focused, and his body was somewhat stiff as he stared intently at the direction in which the fishing line and hook disappeared.

"Going to seize opportunities for you again, are you looking forward to it?" the Mysterious Mobile Phone said.

"I'm really looking forward to it. This is a deadly rod. Who knows what will happen next?" Wang Xuan said.

The atmosphere was initially somewhat somber, but their conversation eased the tension somewhat.

"There should be light in people's hearts, and they should be full of hope," the Mysterious Mobile Phone said.

"Thank you for your kind words, I hope everything is alright." Wang Xuan nodded, thinking that it was quite good at relieving stress, and it didn't seem so unpleasant to look at anymore.

However, when he turned his head and saw the Mysterious Mobile Phone silently adjusting its angle, preparing to take a picture of his remains, he suddenly wanted to stab it to death!

He strongly suspected that this thing appeared just to wait until the very last moment to record the "good life," or perhaps, to record the life of death.

Just as he was about to lose his temper and poke it with the Dao Control Banner, the sea in the distance rippled, and the fishing line moved.

Based on the experience of the previous two times, it should be close to the target!

"Hopefully, this is the last fishing trip, and it'll end quickly!" Wang Xuan held his breath, becoming fully alert.

"I guess this is the second half," the Mysterious Mobile Phone said.

"...?!" Wang Xuan was completely dumbfounded.

With towering mountains, numerous lakes, and a pervasive white mist, this is a vast and pristine land, where mountains and waters stretch endlessly, like an immortal painting.

The mountains and rivers here are full of spiritual beauty. This is the Nine Spirits Cave, which is famous in the Supernatural Central Great World. Outsiders rarely set foot here and it is very difficult to find.

"Let's see if you dare to run around again!" On the lakeside, a woman in yellow, surrounded by white mist, seemed ethereal and otherworldly, but now she carried a touch of human warmth as she scolded a cat.

This is a small cat that looks no bigger than the palm of your hand. It is pale yellow, fluffy, and looks very well-behaved and pitiful. It is nodding its head vigorously.

It escaped some time ago, and its owner had offered a reward of a drop of "Return to Truth Liquid" in exchange for any information about it.

"Still pretending to be pitiful?" The woman in yellow pointed at its head with her finger.

At that moment, the fluffy kitten squatted on the green grass by the lake, showing no wildness whatsoever. It pouted, looking aggrieved, with tears in its eyes, and nodded, saying, "Meow, I was wrong."

Then it hung its head dejectedly, looking adorable and pitiful, making you want to pat its head.

Sure enough, the woman in yellow stopped scolding it and even prepared to feed it, saying, "You are allowed to catch a True Return Fish."

"Meow!" It suddenly became full of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, rolled around on the grass, and circled around the woman's feet, its big eyes full of bright light.

Then it stretched its claws into the shimmering, deep fairy lake.

"Huh?!" The woman in yellow, being a supernatural being from the Nine Spirits Cave, was extremely alert. She instantly shifted her body to the side. Even so, her hair was disheveled by a fishing hook, and then her sleeve was pierced, almost hooking her body.

"How dare you cause trouble in the Nine Spirits Cave?!" The immortal Immortal Dao Rune the strange person Lin Jingxian bloomed instantly, but the fishing hook was a "habitual offender" and had already slipped out several times.

Moreover, it was quite like a thief who never leaves empty-handed; having missed the real person, it immediately changed targets and headed for the fluffy kitten.

With a splash, the kitten caught a bright red True Return Fish that had just been pulled from the water, and it was hooked and lifted into the air in an instant.

"Meow! You even steal a cat's fish?" The fluffy kitten's spirit fluctuated violently as it angrily accused and rebuked the cat in the spiritual realm.

Enraged, it didn't loosen its grip and leaped into the air.

In fact, even if it doesn't let go, it's as if it's been hooked up, and the hook is moving at an extraordinary speed; otherwise, how could it have attacked the superhuman?

Lin Jingxian's powerful runes failed to work for a short time, unable to restrain the fishing hook, which instantly carried the fish and cat away.

"Meow, you dare steal my fish? You're asking for trouble!" In the sky, the obedient kitten that had been dragged along all the way suddenly changed its demeanor, exuding a murderous aura.

Moreover, it suddenly became as huge as a mountain, extremely ferocious, and filled with murderous aura; it was actually a world-shaking demon!

Trying to steal the cat's food? No way! It's determined to fight to the death and kill this big thief!

However, it chickened out the next moment. The fishing line glowed and, while pulling it and the True Return Fish away at high speed, it drifted and swung like a pendulum. The fishing line tangled around it and tied it Death Zone.

"Meow, help!" It was suppressed and unable to move, and its body shrank rapidly, turning back into the size of a palm. The regular fishing line was incredibly powerful.

"Meow, help! Someone's stealing my cat!" it cried out in terror, sensing something terrible was about to happen, and trembling with fear.

Lin Jingxian rushed to the sky almost simultaneously, but it was too late. The fishing line and hook suddenly disappeared without Ying.

The cat she had just found was gone again, or rather, stolen!

Lin Jingxian, the extraordinary being from the Nine Spirits Cave, was enraged. A holy light emanated from her body, shattering the entire sky and creating wide, black void rifts stretching for miles everywhere.

"Here it comes," the Mysterious Mobile Phone said. "I think you were lucky the first two times, but too much of a good thing can be bad. Maybe this time I can correct your luck."

"Shut up!" Wang Xuan stared at the sea surface; the fishing line was glowing, indicating that something was indeed approaching.

Then, his eyes widened, and he went from being extremely tense to completely relaxed. It was a wonderful, ethereal experience, and he felt light and agile.

It was actually a True Return Fish, its whole body was bright red, and it was five meters long, even bigger than the one he had eaten earlier!

This creature is harmless, its entire body is valuable, and it poses no danger whatsoever.

Wang Xuan couldn't catch any in the Mysterious Sea. Last time, he cast his fishing rod and went into the sea himself to hunt down the fish before he finally got one.

With such a well-made fishing line and hook, where did he go fishing? He even brought back such a rare and precious item!

"Meow!" A cat's meow shattered Wang Xuan's pleasant thoughts, sending chills down his spine. In an instant, he saw a tiny kitten, no bigger than a palm, hiding behind the big fish, hurtling towards him at breakneck speed along the fishing line.

"I... I'm a little panicked! Did we really catch a supernatural being? Let's go all out and start the battle!" He was also going all out, carrying the Dao Control Banner and preparing to meet the enemy!

Hoping the opponent didn't have Super Contraband Item, he activated the First Killing Array Diagram and raised the Dao Control Banner on the spot. There was nothing more to say; he was going all out!

In an instant, Chaos Light and malevolent energy surged within the array, sweeping across the sea.

"Meow, sir, Ancient Sage, extraordinary person, please don't kill me, I'm so pitiful!" the kitten cried out urgently, trying to gain sympathy, tears welling up in its eyes as it begged for mercy.

What's going on? This is completely different from the battle scene Wang Xuan had envisioned.

Cheating? He didn't think so. Someone at the level of an extraordinary person wouldn't be so lacking in integrity.

"Although it's very strong, it's not a superhuman at all. It's a cat demon at the late Heavenly Grade?" Wang Xuan's Spiritual Heavenly Eye flashed with divine light, and he saw through the essence of the problem.

This was his first time fishing for a live creature, but it wasn't an alien at all, causing his emotions to fluctuate wildly, going from hell to heaven in an instant. Most people couldn't handle this kind of stimulation.

With a whoosh, the fishing hook cast its prey onto the reef.

Without saying a word, Wang Xuan used the flag to block the fluffy kitten's view and pressed it down. Then he pried open the kitten's paws and went straight for the fiery red, glowing True Return Fish.

"Meow! My lord, Ancient Sage, strange man, you're even stealing the cat's fish?" the kitten cried out, a bit possessive of its food, trying to hold onto the big fish.

Wang Xuan's expression was unnatural, but considering that this was actually a powerful demon at the late Heavenly Grade, he no longer felt that he was bullying the weak.

He thought that even the cat food was so amazing and plentiful that it wouldn't be a big deal to catch one fish.

He even wanted to investigate whether this cat was truly extraordinary. After all, its diet was "outrageously" good; cat meat might even be better!

With a thud, he had the flagpole hit its head, instantly knocking it unconscious.

Wang Xuan picked up the cat and looked at it again and again. It was indeed very cute, only the size of his palm. He took the opportunity to pet the cat a few times, and then decisively sealed it into the killing array diagram.

"Hehe, True Return Fish! I caught one just like that!" He was very surprised.

"This cat is probably the one that went missing from Nine Spirits Cave." The Mysterious Mobile Phone accurately guessed its origin and background.

"Such a powerful background?" Wang Xuan was moved, then his expression changed, and he said, "Could I secretly commission them to exchange True Return Fish from the Nine Spirits Cave?"

"Do you dare?" the Mysterious Mobile Phone asked him.

"This... is a bit troublesome." He realized that the fishing line and hook were for catching strange people. Could it be that this cat was caught from the side of that strange person in the Nine Spirits Cave?

He wiped his sweat, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The strange person from the Nine Spirits Cave had found the cat himself, and then, right under the strange person's nose, he had snatched the cat away from her.

"What... what have I done!" He was completely bewildered. This grudge might have gotten out of hand. Snatching a stranger's most prized possession right in front of him made him swallow hard.

Can this cat be returned? If it is, it will probably complain immediately.

"Otherwise, I'll keep it for myself for now!" He sighed and said, "I thought I was just stealing a cat's fish, but I didn't expect that I stole the cat from the Nine Spirits Cave."

He calmed himself down, remained composed and calm, and knew there was no need to panic. He would wait until things calmed down, then either quietly release the cat or cook it.

Well, the cats in Nine Spirits Cave are quite cute, I can't bring myself to kill them, I'll just keep them locked up for now.

Wang Xuan looked up and found that the fishing line and hook had disappeared again!

He waited quietly. This should be the last time, right? He had caught two strange people in the first half, and had already caught one in the second half. There should be one more to catch.

He pondered silently, feeling conflicted and uncertain. He was speechless after stealing the monkey for the first time; he'd heard of monkeys stealing peaches before, but this time it was the other way around.

The second time, when it came to stealing bamboo shoots, the Black and White Bear, who was extremely vengeful, vowed to steal his grandson.

The third time, they directly forcibly took the alien's cat, which seemed even worse.

"I feel like I'm going further and further down the path of courting death, but... I really didn't mean to do this, it wasn't my plan!" He felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but rub his temples.

The current trend is clear: each incident is more serious and dangerous than the last. He prayed that it wouldn't turn into a nightmare.

"It's already the second half, are you sure it's just one final catch away?" He asked the Mysterious Mobile Phone, a little uneasy.

"It should be. Get ready to receive the final blessing!" the Mysterious Mobile Phone said.

Wang Xuan discovered that his fishing targets these past few times were all related to the "surprise" mentioned by the Mysterious Mobile Phone last time, and now he was actually coming into contact with them one by one!

"Did you arrange this?" He felt a chill run down his spine. Was this thing really a ferocious beast? Could it possess such immense power?!

"I swear, it has nothing to do with me." The Mysterious Mobile Phone was very serious and solemn, denying his guess.

Then it explained, "It's related to this fishing platform. Although it's not a contraband, it's not far off. Most importantly, that top-tier superhuman wasn't its original owner; it was probably dug out from the ruins of an old saint in the void rift. The fishing rod is a causal rod, naturally extraordinary. Although it's no longer related to the old saint, and no top-tier superhuman is stationed here, there are still some mysteries here. After the Karma Rod was activated, it may have accidentally touched upon a bit of the trajectory of fate. Therefore, the superhuman it caught might be somewhat connected to you."

"What nonsense! If we don't fish them out, how could we possibly get involved?" Wang Xuan didn't believe its lies.

"That's true," the Mysterious Mobile Phone agreed.

Then it added, "This time, something big might be coming, someone with deep connections is about to make their appearance!"

"Don't scare me!" Wang Xuan's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Take it easy, it's really nothing," the Mysterious Mobile Phone reassured me.

Then, filming officially began, no longer in the preparation stage, and the first recording of "A Better Life" for Wang Xuan was started.

"I...!" Wang Xuan grabbed the Dao Control Banner's Flagpole and was about to poke it.

"Don't move, the fishing hook is close to the target, it's coming!" The Mysterious Mobile Phone seriously, gesturing for him to look at the sea.

The National College Entrance Examination is just around the corner. I wish all students the best of luck in achieving their ideal scores. Don't be nervous when you enter the examination room, don't overthink things, and may everything go smoothly!

The book reviews should all be back up and running tomorrow.
