By the Jiulong River.

Ling Feng saw the fish nibbling at the line. He calmly picked up the fishing rod and slowly reeled in the line, unsurprisingly ending up with nothing.

But he was content with it.

Fishing was his way of coasting along.

Night fishing was his way to fully embrace coasting.

As for catching any fish, or whether he'd return empty-handed, Ling Feng didn't care at all. He only cared about obtaining his Coasting Along Value.

He even enjoyed fishing while watching the news or playing games, making sure to do something fun with his wasted time.

It was getting late now.

While packing up, Ling Feng listened to the latest news broadcast from Jiangbei Province.

"Recently, a fugitive named Shi Pi Jiang has fled into Jiangbei Province, heading towards the Great Radiation Zone. According to reports, Shi Pi Jiang may have already entered South City. We hope the City Guard and other departments will remain vigilant and bring this person to justice as soon as possible."

"Next, we have some identity information and physical characteristics of this person being reported. We hope everyone, if you find any clues, will immediately report to the City Guard or notify the personnel at the Martial Hall."

"Shi Pi Jiang, a resident of Baiyang County, Jiangnan Province, was originally a City Guard General. Due to embezzling cultivation resources, he was sent to the frontline combat zone but became dissatisfied, inciting his comrades to escape, looting resources for cultivation and living along the way, committing a series of atrocities, and having thirteen martial artists' lives on his hands."

"Dharma Martial Artist in the Flesh Realm, Combat Power between 112.0 and 120.0, Physical Fitness between 29.0 and 31.0, skills in Dual Swordsmanship, Saber Technique Twin Saber Dragon Roar at Perfection, Swordsmanship Dot of Red at Great Success."

Then a screen popped up.

It displayed Shi Pi Jiang's full appearance, his combat skills, and his battle scenes in the Star Realm ranking competitions among other information.

"A City Guard General embezzling cultivation resources and inciting others to rebel, looting combat zone resources, truly shameful. How could someone like that escape to Jiangbei Province and even enter South City?"

Ling Feng muttered to himself.

The human survival environment was harsh, with a scarcity and tension of resources, often causing people to do extreme things for survival and cultivation resources.

Some even colluded with the Alien Race, becoming traitors to humanity.

Both in the Outer Ring City and Inner Ring City, there were incidents of traitors or those violating the rules of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance and national laws, facing severe punishment.

There were such people in the West Warehouse District as well.

But someone like Shi Pi Jiang, with high strength and as a City Guard General, having much more living and cultivation resources than ordinary people and martial artists, blatantly disregarded the law to seize resources and incited others to rebel, and was on the most wanted list by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance. Such people were rare.

Especially considering he escaped from Jiangnan Province to Jiangbei Province, heading all the way to the Great Radiation Zone.

One can imagine how powerful and clever this person is.

For someone like him, Ling Feng was probably at least 30 Combat Power behind. If he accidentally encountered him, his Spear Technique at Perfection would be child's play against Shi Pi Jiang.

Unless his Physical Fitness was on equal footing, or he successfully unlocked the Flesh Phase to have a fighting chance.

Of course, Ling Feng didn't think he would encounter such a person. He was just fishing and listening to the news broadcast, learning about Shi Pi Jiang by chance.

That's all there was to it.

Once the broadcast finished, he packed up his things and headed up to the shore with his fishing gear on his back.

Just then, a figure approached from a distance and tossed a long spear to him.

Ling Feng reached out to catch it, and only then did he recognize it was Qiu Kui, disciple of the Saber Technique Master Lin Qiying from seven days ago.

He instantly understood what the other party intended, and he threw the spear back, embedding it beside the other person.

With a serious face, he said, "I haven't been cultivating much lately, I'm not your match. If you want revenge, I concede."

Seeing no malintent from Qiu Kui, Ling Feng saw no reason to spar with her.

Moreover, he learned from Wang Dashan that this person had been practicing the Lone Wolf Saber Technique daily. Once the saber technique reached Great Success, it would emit a soul-stirring murderous aura that could penetrate from the technique, either disrupting one's mind or paralyzing one's body with fear.

No matter how foolish, Ling Feng wouldn't recklessly cross blades with her.

"Boo, fight whether you like it or not!"

Qiu Kui disregarded everything, using her long saber to send the long bridge flying towards Ling Feng.

Ling Feng sidestepped to avoid it.

Thinking to himself, I'm not going to fight. What can you do about it? Dare to kill me?

Then a blade flash swept in, and Qiu Kui, brimming with fury, didn't care what Ling Feng thought. She only knew her saber technique was fierce and full of killing intent, and no one could stand by idly as their body was covered by it, including Ling Feng.

"Damn!"

In fact, it was true. Ling Feng hurriedly dodged, using his fishing rod as a long spear, but after a few cuts, the rod broke into several pieces.

Helpless, Ling Feng hurled his fishing gear at Qiu Kui. As Qiu Kui cleaved the gear apart, he finally retrieved the spear she brought.

"Don't push me."

Ling Feng said angrily.

After fishing for half a month, although he hadn't caught much, he had grown fond of his gear, and seeing it sliced to pieces by Qiu Kui, it would be a lie to say he wasn't furious.

"Prove yourself and defeat me like last time."

Qiu Kui snorted coldly.

She swiftly charged at Ling Feng.

"If I had half this girl's ruthlessness, I wouldn't worry about Ling Feng not cultivating seriously."

Wang Dashan sighed.

With Qiu Kui's breakthrough in saber technique, she came to the riverside at night seeking revenge against Ling Feng. As soon as he was notified, Marquis Zhuge sent him here to keep an eye on Ling Feng to avoid any mishaps.
