Three Beasts Divide the Meat, Evolution Imminent!

"Hey bro, come quick, come quick!"

Back at the Martial Arts School, Liang Qu greeted Chen Jiechang and enthusiastically led him back to his room.

Chen Jiechang followed behind, puzzled. "What are you looking at? The things in the long box?"

"That's right, let me show you my Da Bao."

Liang Qu opened his long wooden box, revealing his magnificent spear. The spear body was a dark purple, like sandalwood, and the spearhead was Black Gold. Every part of it was exquisite, yet it exuded an astonishing Sha Qi of menace.

"What a beautiful gun!"

Chen Jiechang looked amazed and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Impressive, right? My third senior brother gave it to me!"

"Awesome!"

Chen Jiechang couldn't resist touching it, and he was shocked as soon as he touched it. "Wow, it's so heavy! How heavy is this gun?"

"Ninety-six jin!"

"That heavy? Wouldn't a mere graze cause injury, or a direct hit kill you? Could you even wield it?"

"If I go all out, it's barely possible."

"Impressive, impressive," Chen Jiechang praised, then turned to look at the spear, finding it increasingly beautiful. He asked, "Does this spear have a name?"

Liang Qu was taken aback. He hadn't really thought about this, and Senior Brother Lu hadn't mentioned it either. It must be up to him to make the decision.

"How about calling it Tiger Head Gold-Plated Spear? Look at this Chi-tiger, how majestic and beautiful it is."

"That's too cliché. In historical novels, generals' weapons are all called by this name. Let's change it."

Liang Qu was in a dilemma.

Naming is definitely not his forte; just look at his four children and you'll know. So he frantically searched his mind for historical allusions, trying to find one to draw inspiration from.

"How about we call it the Subduing Waves Spear?"

After some thought, Chen Jiechang realized that while it didn't sound particularly imposing at first glance, it had a unique charm.

Fishermen fear storms and waves most when setting out on their boats, so this is a very auspicious saying.

"Subduing Waves Spear, what a fine name! A Shui is indeed a learned man after all."

"Haha, then let's call it the Subduing Waves Spear!"

It seems that having taken a name, the connection between Liang Qu and Subduing Waves Spear has deepened, making the feeling even more mysterious.

The two observed together for a while until Liang Qu was called out by Hu Qi for special training. Before leaving, he reluctantly closed the wooden box.

Chen Jiechang found it amusing. "It's not going to run away. The way you're making it seem like Spirit Weapon can fly on their own."

"Haha, I can't help myself, I can't help myself."

"Oh right, this morning I went to the academy to ask for leave for you. A young gentleman named Si Hengyi said that you should go to the academy as soon as you have free time, as he is also there on his day off."

"Okay, I understand."

Liang Qu nodded, thinking that his "method" was taking effect, but he hadn't had time to go to the academy in the past few days.

"I plan to take a boat back to Yi Xing City this afternoon to bring the Blood Qi Pill to Li LiBo. I'll be back before dark. Is there anything you'd like me to bring back?"

"That's true."

Liang Qu took out the small porcelain bottle Flesh Mending Pill, poured out one pill, cut it in two, and separated the other half.

"It's for healing. Just put it in the bottle of Blood Qi Pill and give it to Li LiBo. Half a pill is enough. The injury on his hand will heal in a day or two."

The situation was urgent that day, and he didn't have time to pick two pieces of lotus root to grind into powder.

"Okay, I'll thank you on his behalf."

"It's nothing. Also, could you please keep an eye on Uncle Chen's family and tell them to stay home as much as possible these next few days?"

Liang Qu considered bringing Uncle Chen's family to the Martial Arts School, but then thought that the Martial Arts School was likely to be the first to be attacked, and it might not be safer than Yi Xing City, so he gave up on the idea.

"Okay, I've written it all down."

"That's all right then, I'm going out to train."

Chen Jiechang nodded and started packing his things.

On the Martial Arts Field, Liang Qu stood holding a staff.

With Hu Qi's help, his mastery of the Force Method has become increasingly proficient. He can now ensure that his qi remains stable within three moves of a sparring match, and he is now trying to use weapons.

After being chosen by Hu Qi for the fourth time, Liang Qu's Qi and Blood was completely depleted.

Several apprentices who were watching the commotion booed.

Hu Qi frowned and shouted sternly, "What's wrong? You were distracted during the battle? Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Liang Qu obediently lowered his head and accepted the scolding.

"In the past, we'd lift thirty stone blocks! Then we'd practice!"

"Yes."

Liang Qu slunk away to a corner of the Martial Arts Field and picked up a stone block.

Senior Brother Hu wasn't all kind-hearted. If he made a big mistake, he would get a few hard whacks and a scolding.

Why.

He didn't expect that while he was practicing, the Fat Catfish would send a message saying that it had found a horned Treasure Fish, a very large one.

The one with horns, isn't that Bullhorn Pomfret?

A Bullhorn Pomfret weighing over a pound has 1.8 ounces of Marsh Essence in its flesh alone. Its quality is much better than that of Red Blood Perch and Tiger Head Grouper. It's a Treasure Fish in a completely different league.

The two horns also have a unique function, and he still keeps a pair, burying them under the rice jar at home.

Once the mind is stirred, the temper is easily agitated.

But he can't get away right now.

We don't know when Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Xiang will return. Even if they don't return until tomorrow, it would be too strange to go back now.

After much deliberation, Liang Qu decided to give up on the Bullhorn Pomfret.

It's not that we won't catch them, it's that we'll let the three beasts figure it out themselves, and once they're caught, we'll divide them up directly.

I just don't know if they can do it.

Things are different now. Although a Bullhorn Pomfret is precious, it is not an indispensable resource.

If the three beasts can eat it, at least the Fat Catfish and the Cannot Move beast will be one step closer to evolution, which is a good thing.

In the Jianghuai Marshlands, Fat Catfish received a message from Liang Qu. The two thickest catfish whiskers intertwined, as if they were "looking worried and distressed."

Strange-looking fish are hard to catch; they're incredibly strong, swim much faster than ordinary fish, and are small and agile.

But the thought of eating succulent fish meat instead of fish bones and intestines made the Fat Catfish brace itself and prepare to go for it.

Cannot Move, the three beasts converged with their Fist, "discussing" their countermeasures.

In the corner, fish whiskers twitched, crocodile claws scratched in vain, and crab pincers snapped wildly. A series of bubbles surged out, surfaced, and then burst.

After a moment, the three beasts dispersed and formed a triangle around the Bullhorn Pomfret.

Once you get within five meters, Cannot Move and strike first. It's the slowest moving fish and not suitable for catching. Just drive the Bullhorn Pomfret towards the Fat Catfish and your Fist.

The trick learned from the gods was indeed effective. The Bullhorn Pomfret panicked and ran towards the Fist. Just as it was about to pass over his head, the Fist leaped up and stretched out its giant pincers to grab the Bullhorn Pomfret's tail! But this Bullhorn Pomfret was too big, weighing a full eight pounds. The Fist was floating in the water with nowhere to get a foothold and was actually dragged along.

Fortunately, the Bullhorn Pomfret was startled by the Fist and changed direction, which was exactly what A Fei wanted. Just as it was about to pass by, Fatty jumped out of the mud, slapped the Bullhorn Pomfret to the ground with a flick of its tail, turned around, and bit the Treasure Fish's head in one bite.

The hunt was a great success! Those Cannot Move, quickly swim over; the three beasts gather together, all eager for a hearty meal.

The Fat Catfish used its tail to shove the Treasure Fish in front of it, then swung its barbels down towards the fish's head, pointing to the point that Cannot Move. It then slid down towards the fish's tail, pointing to its Fist, and finally swung down towards the Treasure Fish's belly, pointing to itself.

Cannot Move, it frantically shook its head, used its claws to pull the Treasure Fish under its body, extended its sharp claws, pointed at the fish's head towards the Fat Catfish, slashed down the fish's tail towards its Fist, slashed down the fish's belly towards itself.

The Fist clamped down on the Cannot Move claw, Cannot Move. The Fat Catfish opened its mouth wide and blew bubbles, and the Fist seized the opportunity to clamp down on its whiskers as well.

In its anger, the two beasts grabbed the Treasure Fish and placed it in front of them. It slashed off the fish's head, pointing it at the Fat Catfish; it slashed off the fish's tail, pointing it at the Cannot Move fish; and it slashed off the fish's belly, pointing it at itself.

The three beasts looked at each other in bewilderment.

Instantly, a large amount of mud and sand surged up from the water.
