After finding out that he can talk to snakes on his cousin's birthday, Harry decides the best thing to do is investigate. 
Of course, with his luck, he finds out some life-changing news.

Bailey and his brother, Linley and his brother; the two groups walked in a line, striding forward. However, the four of them didn’t advance at too high a speed, and on the way over, they continued to vigilantly watch the surrounding areas.

“Boss, tell me, what do you think that power-increasing Abyssal Fruit looks like?” Bebe’s eyes were filled with curiosity as he sent mentally.

Linley looked at the surroundings as well. “Abyssal Fruit…Abyssal Fruit…it might look like an ordinary fruit. Hmm…something feels weird!” Linley sniffed the air, and as he did, he felt a very unusual odor waft by, entering his body. His mind instantly grew clear, and the bewildering effects of the fog, which had always been present, dissolved away greatly as well.

“Boss, the gray fog is much fainter up ahead.” Bebe said hurriedly.

Linley had a thought. “It seems we are almost there. Let’s go!”

He strode forward hurriedly, and Bailey and his brother did the same. Linley advanced by roughly another hundred or so meters, then discovered that the fog had completely dissipated. “What sort of tree is that?” Linley stared towards the center of the empty area up ahead, and saw that an extremely large and flourishing dwarf tree was present.

The main trunk of the dwarf tree was large enough to need two people holding hands to wrap their arms around it, and was less than thirty meters tall.

However, the tree had ten million branches, each of which was at least one or two hundred meters long. These extremely long branches also had many more twigs extending from them. This resulted…in this single large dwarf tree to take up an area with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

“Boss, look, what’s that?” Bebe called out in surprise.

Linley’s pupils contracted.

At the crown of that dwarf tree, on a particularly large branch, within the leaves, there was a fruit that was slightly larger than the size of a fist. This fruit was almost completely spherical, with a violet skin that was crystalline and translucent, swirling with brilliant light, dazzling to behold. At the same time, it continued to faintly emanate that hazy fog.

“What a refreshing feeling.” Linley took a deep breath, and his mind felt all the clearer, and his soul felt very comfortable as well. “This…? Is this the Abyssal Fruit?”

Linley couldn’t help but glance at the nearby Bailey and his brother. Bailey’s eyes were shining as he stared at the Abyssal Fruit, but he didn’t charge forward. Instead, he said in a clear voice, “Linley, that’s the Abyssal Fruit! However, I must warn you, Abyssal Fruit isn’t so easily harvested. The Spirit Snake which guards the Abyssal Fruit has yet to appear.”

Having already undergone the Abyssal Fruit harvesting process countless years ago, Bailey clearly knew how dangerous it was.

Linley knew as well…

That although it looked as though the Abyssal Fruit was simply placed there, if he were to rashly charge forward, he would undoubtedly suffer for it.

“Boss, I’ll go.” Bebe very confidently prepared to charge forward.

“Bebe, don’t be rash.” Linley barked.

“Eh?” Bebe looked towards him.

“Just watch for now.” Linley stared appraisingly at his surroundings. Suddenly…

“Rustle…” The green leaves on the branches of the tree with the Abyssal Fruit, as though stirred by the wind, began to tremble. That sound instantly disrupted the surrounding, quiet calm. At the same time, the leaves which were spread out over that space of hundreds of meters all began to glow with a green energy. And slowly…

One green snake after another, each the size of a palm, began to form atop the green leaves.

“So many!” Bebe sucked in a breath of cold air.

Although he didn’t fear the green snakes, upon seeing so many of them, he still felt his scalp crawl. Linley couldn’t help but narrow his eyes; with but a single sweep, he saw thousands on thousands of green snakes. The countless green snakes were visible on virtually every single part of the tree.

“And that’s just the opening course.” Bailey said coldly.

“Spirit Snake, you might as well come out.” Bailey’s voice rang out. “What, do you want me to come over for you to ambush?”

Linley and Bebe were stunned.

Spirit Snake? Could it be that these green snakes weren’t the Spirit Snake?

“Haha, I didn’t expect that you would be aware of my existence!” A clear, evil sound rang out from amidst the branches. “This is absolutely too intriguing. I wanted to play with you a bit more first. For me to reveal myself now…spoils the surprise.” As the voice continued to ring out, it slowly began to reveal its true form atop the Abyssal Fruit tree!

Linley, Bebe, and Bloan couldn’t help but feel startled.

A large green snake that was nearly ten meters long and as thick as an arm suddenly, slowly emerged from a branch of the tree. This large snake coiled around the tree trunk, its head raised and its cold, insidious eyes flashing with a violet, serpentine light as it stared at the distant Linley, Bailey, and the other two.

The serpent’s violet gaze seemed to stab at them!

Linley and Bebe couldn’t help but narrow their eyes, not willing to stare directly into the green snake’s gaze.

“Linley, what we need to do is…while being attacked by countless green snakes, and also being blocked by the Spirit Snake, acquire the Abyssal Fruit.” Bailey said calmly. “Let me warn you of one thing; the Spirit Snake is capable of controlling the Abyssal Fruit Tree to attack and constrict you! Alright…whoever gets the Abyssal Fruit is whoever it will belong to.”

After speaking, Bailey’s entire body slowly began to emanate an earthen yellow aura.

“Divine earth power?” Linley frowned.

Bebe excitedly licked his lips. “Boss, watch me get that Abyssal Fruit! I have no fear of those little green snakes. The Abyssal Fruit…will definitely be mine!” That godspark dagger appeared in Bebe’s hands, and he gave Bailey a careful look as well.

Bailey was clearly building up his power…

“Haaaargh!”

With a sudden, explosive shout, the earthen yellow aura on Bailey’s body suddenly coalesced around his right leg. Bailey lifted up his right leg, and then smashed down in a vicious, straight line towards the ground. “BOOM!” The entire earth roared with a terrifying explosive sound as an earthen yellow light emanated outwards from his feet through the earth.

The strange thing was…

The ground beneath Bailey’s feet wasn’t damaged at all.

“An explosive burst of the Throbbing Pulse of the World?” Linley could guess at what profound mysteries were contained within this attack, but for now, Linley himself wasn’t capable of it. Linley immediately looked towards the tree.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

In the ground beneath the giant tree, one explosive rumbling sound after another rang out, and a large hole appeared in the rocky mountain terrain as shattered rocks flew everywhere. The smaller branches of the Abyssal Fruit Tree were also smashed and flattened and sent flying, as many green serpents hurriedly dodged as well.

Even the main trunk of the Abyssal Tree trembled, but the main trunk and the larger branches weren’t damaged much. Clearly, they were very sturdy; only the smaller branches and leaves were damaged.

Chaos!

The shattered small branches and many leaves were flying everywhere, causing the Abyssal Fruit Tree to turn into a picture of chaos.

“Let’s go!” Linley’s eyes lit up, and he shot forward like an arrow from a bow.

“This is the moment!” Bebe simultaneously charged out as well.

But Bailey had reacted slightly faster than even Bebe and Linley. He charged forward at high speed, his body once more beginning to emanate with that earthen yellow aura which was constantly emanating ripples. Bailey’s gaze was firm, and in his hands, a pitch-black warblade appeared.

“Haha…” An evil laugh rang out from the tree.

Instantly…

“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”

Countless green snakes rained down from the green leaves of the tree like raindrops in a storm. The countless green snakes simultaneously attacked Linley, Bebe, and Bailey. As for the violet-haired youth, Bloan, he stood far away and didn’t charge forward.

Linley, seeing so many green snakes fill the skies and charge towards him, was forced to go all out as well.

An earthen yellow light suddenly emanated from Linley’s body as well, instantly encapsulating both himself and Bebe and forming into a hemisphere that was fifteen meters across in diameter. When those green snakes, moving like arrows, fell into the Blackstone Space, their speed suddenly dropped and they became much slower.

Under the command of the Spirit Snake, these green snakes were aware of the repulsive power of the Blackstone Space.

But if they didn’t enter the Blackstone Space, they wouldn’t be able to harm Linley at all. Thus, they had no choice but to charge in.

“Haha, come bite me, all of you come bite me.” Bebe bellowed loudly as he charged in front of Linley, where a large number of green snakes were gathered and charging. At the same time, Bebe’s body transformed into dozens of figures, and with banging sounds, his dagger began stabbing into the bodies of the snakes, while his palm began to crush their bodies…these sounds rang out unabated!

With Bebe up in front, the pressure on Linley was greatly reduced.

The dispersed green snakes began to cluster around them from all sides. Linley calmly began to brandish about Mirage, filling it with wind-type elemental essence and causing it to transform into countless sword blurs, filling the surrounding space. The drifting, agile movements of the sword blurs were so fast as to seem devilish, and even space itself seemed to constrict and tighten around those green snakes.

“Hiss….”

The green snakes, their speed greatly lessened within the Blackstone Space, when faced with Mirage…a dense cluster of sounds could be heard as one snake after another was instantly ground apart by those countless sword blurs and transformed into pulp. Last time, Linley didn’t have experience, but this time, Linley was prepared in advance, and so his execution of this technique became all the more relaxed.

The vast majority of the thousand-plus tightly clustered snakes which flew towards Linley were all struck.

However, there were still three which were only slightly wounded and thus fearlessly charged towards Linley, wanting to bite him.

“Hmph.” Linley just instantly changed the direction of the gravity.

Blackstone Space…the gravity suddenly changed to go downwards!

The sudden change in the direction of the gravity caused the three green snakes to be caught off-guard and sink downwards, not able to bite Linley at all.

“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!” Those three fast sword blows cleaved down upon the green snakes which had sank down to the ground, instantly killing them.

Sometimes, suddenly changing the direction of gravity was an extremely effective tactic.

“That Bailey…” Linley glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, and couldn’t help but feel startled. The layer of earthen yellow light on Bailey’s body was constantly trembling. When the many green snakes attacked, Bailey just let them strike at him, but as soon as they entered the range of that earthen yellow light, their bodies would begin to tremble and then, moments later, with a ‘bang’ completely crumble into pulp.

“The Throbbing Pulse of the World, the never-stopping ‘Vitality’, as well as the Essence of the Earth.” With a single glance, Linley realized which three Profound Mysteries were being used by Bailey.

Different fusions of profound mysteries had different results.

What Linley didn’t know was that this was the best technique Bailey had come up with, after countless years of painstaking pondering, for dealing with these green snakes. He had spent nearly a hundred million years coming up with this technique. But in terms of flying speed…Bebe, who didn’t have to pay the green snakes any mind at all, was a bit faster than even Bailey. Bebe moved like lightning, scurrying to the side of the tree trunk.

“Haha, the Abyssal Fruit is mine!” Bebe called out jubilantly as he snatched towards the Abyssal Fruit.

“Hiss…” A strange sound entered Bebe’s mind, and Bebe couldn’t help but feel his head grow dizzy.

Suddenly, the giant head of the large green snake suddenly emerged from next to Bebe. It opened its mouth wide and bit downwards towards Bebe. The emergence of this snake head happened as fast as lightning, and Bebe, his head dizzy, wasn’t able to react in time. The giant green snake landed a vicious bite against his head, and the giant green snake bit down with full force…

“CRUNCH!”

“Bebe!” Linley was shocked.

“F*ck off!” Bebe bellowed, furiously shaking it off and escaping from that giant maw.

But that giant green snake stared towards Bebe in shock. A black, illusory object fell out from within the mouth of the giant green snake. Linley glanced at it…and saw that, amazingly enough, it was a shattered poisonous fang!

“When the green snake bit Bebe, it broke its tooth?” Linley couldn’t help but feel speechless.

While the giant green snake was dealing with Bebe, Bailey scurried towards the Abyssal Fruit Tree. But just as Bailey was about to seize the Abyssal Fruit…

“Swoosh!”

The Abyssal Fruit Tree violently twisted, flashing past and dodging Bailey’s snatch while many branches suddenly swept towards Bailey, clutching at him like countless arms.

Bailey’s face couldn’t help but change.

“Big Brother!” The violet-haired Bloan, watching this from afar, couldn’t help but feel shocked. Bailey instantly roared angrily, using full force with the pitch-black warblade in his hands. Instantly, a booming sound rang out, and spatial ripples and cracks were given birth to as the warblade chopped towards the surrounding, encoiling tree branches.

Right at this moment…

“Swoosh!” Linley also charged towards the Abyssal Fruit.

“Bastard.” Bebe, bellowing, charged forward once more as well.

“Raaaaaaawr!” The giant green snake angrily opened its maw, emitting a thick black fog towards Linley and Bebe, and the poisonous black fog instantly trapped Linley and Bebe once more within it.


Empires rise and fall on the Yulan Continent. Saints, immortal beings of unimaginable power, battle using spells and swords, leaving swathes of destruction in their wake. Magical beasts rule the mountains, where the brave – or the foolish – go to test their strength. Even the mighty can fall, feasted on by those stronger. The strong live like royalty; the weak strive to survive another day.

This is the world which Linley is born into. Raised in the small town of Wushan, Linley is a scion of the Baruch clan, the clan of the once-legendary Dragonblood Warriors. Their fame once shook the world, but the clan is now so decrepit that even the heirlooms of the clan have been sold off. Tasked with reclaiming the lost glory of his clan, Linley will go through countless trials and tribulations, making powerful friends but also deadly enemies.

Come witness a new legend in the making. The legend of Linley Baruch. 

Jimmy went into town again, he needed some of that Gilvenheim air breezing through his nostrils and into his lungs. This nation was built on a ton of nature, the woods of the forest, and the food that originated from animals including fish, chicken and beef. 
Brimstone beef was really the hearty meat the nation really favored. Ragbull beef wasn't as of high quality as the Brimstone, but it was more than enough to make any man, woman and even child obtain a full stomach. 
Jimmy took Fayre with him again on this occasion, he went straight back toward the tavern. Horses were neighing as many were carrying burlap bags and wooden crates just on the wagon connected to the horses. 
"Busy day." Jimmy thought about the Marketplace by the time he began to pass through it again. Bartering and trading was the oldest part of Gilvenheim, giving one's goods to another in exchange for someone much more of higher quality...or low quality if you really couldn't strategize your stuff, if you really didn't know your trading. 
More people will trade for anything these days, Jimmy thought about his initial trading days, he remembered bartering 3 giant blocks of cheese toward a farmer for a cow. It was a big cow, with an equally big utter. That cow was still resting at a farm Jimmy and his father bought a couple of years ago. 
That was one of the few times Jimmy spoke to his father again. Since then, not even a letter has been exchanged between the father and son. 
Protecting me for the greater good, he thought deeply about his birth. The cries he had when he was born echoed in his head. He stopped midway, sitting on a bench. Fayre was still on his shoulder, Jimmy didn't notice that the snake's eyes were staring at him in a rather confused gaze. 
"Need a drink." Jimmy spoke as he stood up from the bench and began to fasten his walking pace. "Don't worry Fayre I'll be fine." as he was on the move, gently pushing people wearing cowls, smocks and surcoats. 
Fayre continued to tilt its head in concern, even as Jimmy finally made his way toward the Drinker's Shack, the same bar he visited not very long ago. 
He got a massive greeting from some of the patrons. 
"Jimmy!"
"How ya doing bud?"
"Oi! Mate! How's it goin, eh?"
He greeted them back with a simple series of hand gestures, raising his hand in a friendly manner. 
I don't even know half of these people, Jimmy thought. Maybe it was how often he was in town for the most part. 
Many of the patrons had their ragged and dirty clothes on, some of them had funny caps that were hanging backwards on their heads. Most of the colors on their clothes began to fade away, the only real thing that was clean to some degree was the mugs they had in their hands. 
Well, the tables were starting to get wet from the beer that was spilt on them, even dripping toward the wooden floor. 
"Hello sir." the bartender spoke. "Heard the others here call you Jimmy."
"Yeah."
"What will it be then?"
"Anything new to the place?" Jimmy asked with a raised eyebrow, his hands resting on the counter. 
"Hmm." The bartender hummed in thought, before he saw Fayre on Jimmy's shoulder, he frowned. 
"That snake ain't full of venom right?"
"Fayre? Nah, she's fine. I can vouch for her."
The bartender rolled his eyes in amusement. "If you say so."
"So anything else you got other than beer? If there is?"
"Well, now that you mentioned it, there's been a shipment from Wyndham. Thought I might have it a go at it to tell you the truth."
"What kind?" Jimmy asked in interest. 
"Something related to Wyndham based cherries, sugar, and some rum in between." the bartender explained. Jimmy looked at him in confusion. "Just wait here, the things in the back because I'm still trying to find more space for the counter here. I also haven't exactly filled up a fountain for this new range of a drink."
Jimmy chuckled. "Got a name for this thing?"
"People over there in Wyndham called it the Cherry Popper."
Laughing, Jimmy replied. "One glass of it, good sir." He took out some coins from his pocket and slammed it onto the counter. He snickered and his eyes twitched. 
"Oi, you okay there?" The bartender asked in concern. 
"Never been better." 
"You sure?"
A blast of lightning rang into Jimmy's brain, he paused and took a deep breath, before bringing himself to face the bartender again. He gave a small smile and a nod. 
"You seem stressed." the bartender raised his eyebrow. "Tell you what, pay a tiny bit higher and I'll be sure to give you an even bigger mug. Gotta release all that tension from your brain, friend, ain't that right everyone!?" he shouted towards the patrons. They all cheered and shouted in enthusiastic unison. 
"Yeah!"
"Screw the pain!"
"To hell with the stress! It ain't killing us anytime soon!"
As the bartender went toward the back of the room, Jimmy sat on a wooden stool. Looking back and forth, he noticed the amount of men drinking at their prime, as in the amount of energy they had to chug down gallons of beer or whatever drink that released the stress that previously resided in them. 
I hate magic, he thought. It had its perks, but the one he had within him was a thorn in his side. 
He didn't know how to really get the hang of it, it would just be there. 
Click. 
Just like that. 
His ears buzzed, perking up at the sound of slithering. A snake slithering around the floorboards? His mind pondered as he looked down toward the floor. There were gaps in between the wood. Something flashed by his eyes. 
He blinked. 
It was no longer there. He turned his head to the left, trying to see if there were any other gaps. 
"Oi, mate!" Jimmy heard a voice call out to him, he turned to a larger patron. One of the patron's arms was quite bigger than the other, said arm revealed the man's arms, and had a shark attacking downward with its mouth open. 
"Yeah?" Jimmy spoke. 
"The hell you looking for?" the patron chuckled. He had a bald head as well as a strong jawline, and his face was decorated with a five o'clock shave. "Rats in the floors?"
"I swore I saw a snake." Jimmy replied, as he said this, Fayre slithered from his arm and onto the counter, before turning its head toward him again. The bald man looked at the snake's reaction, and laughed. 
"What are you? Some sort of snake charmer? Snake whisperer?"
"I admire snakes to some degree." Jimmy admitted. 
"Admire? I don't know about that. Word got to me around town that there's a man living alone with snakes in another building, far from town. Said man even fought an adventurer not long ago just for fun, and was swift about it as well."
Jimmy turned his head around, facing the bottles in front of him. "Who's askin?"
"Dimebag Drummond." the bald man extended his large right arm. 
"Jimmy Stark." replied Jimmy with a strong handshake. "You an adventurer?"
"Yes, but actually no." Dimebag replied. "I go on adventures, but I'm not into that heroic stuff or fetching items from dungeons or caves. Last thing I need is being raided by crawlers, or worse, dirt beetles. My job is to hunt."
Seconds of silence passed, Jimmy raising an eyebrow. "People?"
"The ones that were asking for trouble and being hunted in the first place, of course the reward for catching them is more better than getting them dead." Dimebag took out a flyer, revealing an inky drawing of a grumbled youth. The flyer was made out of soft light brown paper, the color slightly fading away. 
"That kid there's been causing trouble." Dimebag spoke about the person in the flyer, named Kaylan. "Stealing from people's pockets left and right, from everyone."
"Seems a lot for a thief." Jimmy commentated, looking at the reward. 
"As long as you're above Level 5, you should be fine. He's a good thief, but from what I heard fighting ain't his forte."
"You want me to hunt this guy?" Jimmy asked. 
"Nobody said that." Dimebag corrected. "I got a flyer of him myself. Just giving you options Jimmy, maybe something for you to do, and get coin at the same time." he chugged down the remaining parts of his beer. "But if you do get him first, my system will inform me and other guys hunting him."
"I'll consider it."
"I'll be off then." As Dimebag left the scene, Jimmy heard something fall down, a barrel hitting the floor. 
"Damn snakes!" Jimmy saw the bartender come out from the back room of the bar, yelling and chasing two yellow snakes slithering toward the front entrance. In the bartender's right hand was a large mug with red liquid spilling out slightly onto the floor. 
Jimmy turned to see the two snakes slithering toward his chair, before he extended his right arm. THe first yellow snake slithered up to his arm, followed by the second. Soon the two yellow snakes pushed their heads towards Jimmy, in a friendly manner. 
"Well I'll be." The bartender placed JImmy's drink, a Cherry Popper. "You're a snake man."
"Can't help it." Jimmy smiled as the two yellow snakes slithered onto the counter, a few inches away from Fayre. 
Jimmy then saw the large mug in front of him, filled with cherry red beer "Sorry Fayre, but the drink here's huge. Think you can slither back home?" Ashe said that, Fayre nodded her head, before slithering away through the floorboards. 
"You trained that green one well did you?" the bartender asked as Jimmy gave additional coins for the drink. Jimmy's hand was on the handle of the mug. 
"Yeah." he said before he started to chug the giant Cherry Popper. The cherry colored beer went down his throat, but a few parts of the drink started to spill onto the floorboards. Everyone around the bar cheered on. 
"Drink that thing!" they said. 
Jimmy continued to gulp down the drink, down to the last drop, and slamming the empty mug onto the counter. 
"Damn that's good!"
"Drink can be the best medicine sometimes." the bartender spoke before he spotted one of the yellow snakes slithering away. "Welp."
"Hey hold up!" Jimmy spoke as he began to chase after the first yellow snake, leaving the second one behind. The patrons were too occupied with their enthusiasm and drunkenness to notice. The snake went through the gap of the back door leading to outside, and Jimmy followed it there. 
It was an empty area here, it seemed like the perfect place to linger, with the only exit back to the main streets were to the left. 
"You're a fast one." Jimmy said of the yellow snake, yellow as cheese with a small dash of orange spots. He began to see yellow light emerge from the snake. It became brighter the more Jimmy stared. 
"What the hell?" he spoke, raising his eyebrow. The light soon caused him to cover his eyes with his hands, before he saw a blond haired woman. Her curvy posture and thighs, combined with what seemed to be boots on her feet, made his eyes widen. 
She looked at him with piercing blue eyes. 
"Very good sister." Jimmy heard another female voice. He turned to see another woman wearing the same yellow get up, the boots and the short trousers revealing the thighs. But unlike the first woman, this second woman had a much rounder face, her lips were thinner and less red than the first. 
Jimmy turned back to see the first woman approach him. She was near his face. 
"A man who keeps, tends and cares for snakes…" she said in a seductive tone. "Very interesting."
Oh boy, here we go, Jimmy's mind spoke louder than he would speak with his mouth. He raised his hand, and he moved it across the first woman's face. 
A large transparent blue screen hovered to her right. 
[SILLIS. LEVEL 18. SUCCUBUS]
Heck, Jimmy thought as she felt the presence of the second woman behind him, and the door leading into the bar closed on its own.

BRONZE TIER WINNER OF WPC# 176 Harem + System

Jimmy Stark’s blessing with powers and a magical system was also a curse for him from birth. It granted him certain abilities most would have to train to get, but it also affected his brain to some degree. 

Following a botched attempt of seduction by a succubus named Belva, he finds himself in the middle of an ongoing war from the Underworld involving many succubi against their former Queen, Malvagia, and this fight's heading to Earth. Getting dragged into it, Jimmy would also later meet Belva's gorgeous, dangerous and most likely silly fellow succubi along the way. 

Not exactly a hero, but far from a villain, Jimmy’s got the looks, the system the powers, and his own share of wickedness to help the succubi go head to head with Malvagia. This is the tale of the man who loved snakes.

The weather today was somewhat drizzly, and the sky would darken just after 6. Chu Xian told Xiao Ying that he'd be late, and then left for the fish far.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, and Chu Xian jumped into the lake, transformed, and swam into the distance.
Fengtai Lake was connected to the sea, and he had not had the net enclosing sealed yet. This way, he could directly swim into the sea.
Three other fish farms had openings near the Fengtai Lake entrance, and one of them belonged to Qin Dahai.
This fish farm was different from the Fengtai lake one. Where the lake farm was surrounded on three sides by land, Qin Dahai's fish farm was surrounded on all sides by sea and more sea, and relied completely on nets to cordon off the area.
This are was far smaller than that of Fengtai Lake, and was not even half the size of his former fish farm.
Since Chu XIan had cut off his revenue, Qin Dahai had went all out and gotten nine alligators gars, but he had no idea that his actions were actually helping Chu Xian.
Qin Dahai's fish farm was in shallow water, and the blue was incredibly clear. From a distance away, anyone watching could see a giant monster swimming slowly towards the fish farm.
After the cultivation of the yellow croakers and the white flower fish, Chu Xian's energy had fallen by six hundred points. His body had shrunk down to about 4.5 meters in length, but even so, he was still a huge monster in the sea.
He swam over to Qin Dahai's fish farm and sidled along up to the enclosure net.
"Look at my claws." Chu Xian sneered, and with the claws on his head, slowly cut through the wires of the net.
"You want alligator gars to devour the fish inside my farm? Then I need to return the favor and devour all the fish in your farm."
Chu Xian immediately opened his god's eye view and controlled all the fish around him.
"All baby fish?" As he entered the fish farm, Chu Xian was surprised by what he detected. All the fish inside Qin Dahai's fish farm were tiny, nail sized. There was not a single big fish.
"Looks like these baby fish were just introduced." Chu Xian thought to himself. "What a coincidence, my yellow croakers and white flower fish just happen to need some little fish. Dahai's really a good fellow, sending coal in the winter."
Chu Xian swam a loop around Qin Dahai's fish farm and controlled all the fish and bringing them back to Fengtai Lake.
Qin Dahai had a large amount of baby fish, and the tens of thousands of baby fish crowded in his fish farm, but when Chu Xian brought them over to Fengtai Lake, it did not seem like all that much.
Chu Xian swam over to the platform and transformed back. He opened the gate to the yellow croaker area and commanded the baby fish in.
"They grow so quickly. With this speed, they will weigh over a catty in half a month." Chu Xian watched as one of the yellow croakers grew a centimeter longer, and a smile grew on his face.
After sealing all the fish from Qin Dahai's fish farm inside, Chu Xian jumped back into the water, transformed, and swam back out to sea.
Out at sea, the fish population around Hai Qing City could not at all compare with that of South Ji Island. Chu Xian was not too concerned though, and sped forward and continued swimming. Very quickly, thousands of fish were gathered in every direction.
There were little yellow croakers, Pacific Mackerels, Spanish Mackerels, Spotted Maigres, Chinese Herring, Clupea Pallasi, Pomfrets, Codfish, and all kinds of other fish. Now where there different species, they all came in different sizes, but in the short span of an hour he had gathered thousands of fish that weighed at leas three to four thousand catties. If he sold these, he would profit by thirty to forty thousand rmb.
Chu Xian brought this group of fish back to Fengtai Lake and sealed them in. For the next three hours, Chu Xian continued this cycle three more times.
After his extraordinary method of fishing, Chu Xian had sealed in over ten thousand catties worth of fish. Chu Xian checked the time and returned to shore.
"Black the entrance to the lake with nets." Chu Xian called out to Old Huang.
"Yes boss."
Over then thousand catties of an assortment of sea creatures was worth at least a hundred thousand rmb. This was all accomplished in five hours of hurried work. This was the true way to run a fish farm.
It was midnight when Chu Xian returned home, and after a quick shower, he fell asleep holding Xiao Ying.
The next day, Chu Xian brought Grandpa Feng and the others to the fish farm.
"Last night, we got some fish from sea. As for how we did this, I won't tell you. There are about ten thousand catties in here. You guys just need to look of the fish farm and net the grown fish. Grandpa Feng will find the fish dealers and sell them. You can leave the little fish inside and let them grow." Chu Xian explained.
Grandpa Feng and Theo there fishermen were astonished, and their faces were full of confusion as they looked out at the waters teeming with fish.
Chu Xian looked at their faces and laughed. He had hired this fishermen not to feed the fish everyday, but to keep the farm clean. His fish farm had a high requirement for the environment, and needed to prevent algae from forming and maintain all kinds of things to keep the fish healthy. Other than handling problems like these, the fisherman could help him with the aquariums from time to time. Paying these people would solve both matters.
At the same time, back at Qin Dahai's fish farm, the fishermen looked out at the empty fish farm and remembered a terrible time when something similar had happened.
"Where are the baby fish? Why is it empty?"
"What on earth happened? Are we being haunted again?"
The workers still remembered when the fish in their farm had steadily disappeared day by day, and in the end they had never found the culprit.
But the matter today was even more extreme. There was not a single fish left, and the farm was completely empty. No matter how much feed they dumped into the water, not a single fish surfaced.
"This… We need to call the boss." A fisherman hurriedly took out his phone and called Qin Dahai.
At Fengtai Lake, Grandpa Feng and the other fishermen were busy at work. Chu Xian sat on a little boat in the lake scattering feed. With his ability, he was controlling the yellow croakers and white flower fish.
To Chu Xian's extreme pleasure, every single one of the fish was showing signs of clear and steady growth.
Over the next few days, Chu Xian's schedule was empty. He went to the fish farm everyday to watch the little fish grow, and in the afternoons he brought Xiao Ying out shopping and eating and went to watch movies. Their relaxing life was worthy of envy.
Although he was relaxing, his businesses were furiously expanding. The aquarium store at Jing Hai City had been running smoothly all this time, and the sales had reached the terrifying number of 27 million rmb.
Zhang Xiaohua was prepared for the first round of franchisement advertising, but Chu Xian had told her to wait until his movie was in the theatre.
At the end of the movie, Chu Xian had asked Duan Ke to put in some information about the franchising of Paradise aquariums.
Now that the film was done, Duan Ke was ready to ship it to the theaters, and everything had gone smoothly.
Over in Thailand, Paradise Sea Snakes was already in operation, and according to Old Mu, they had caught over a thousand sea snakes in less than a month.
After processing, the profit from the sea snakes would be over fifty million rmb. This kind of earning was for less than a full month's work, and according to Old Mu's projections, a single month should haul in 300 million rmb. They could work and catch sea snakes six months out of the year, and so their yearly profit would be 1.8 billion rmb, over twice as much as Chu Xian had previously estimated.
The reason they could catch two times as many sea snakes was their special method of catching the snakes. With this method leading the way, the mermen could spend half the time to catch two times as many snakes.
Chu Xian had reminded Li Long that Paradise Sea Snake could being researching and studying sea snakes themselves, and did not have to remain a supplier.
"In thirteen days, these yellow croakers and white flower fish have already grown over a catty in weight. How terrifying!"
"That's right. Look at these yellow croakers and white flower fish. They are identical with the ones caught out at sea? How does our boss do it?"
"Weird, really weird. These days, the fish on the other side of the farm weighs at least thirty thousand catties, but we've already sold over forty thousand catties of fish, only leaving baby fish behind."
"That's right, and we have all kinds of fish as well. This is too strange. Boss says he gets them from sea, and overnight a couple thousand catties of fish just appear out of no where. How terrifying."
"Did you see the abalone drying in the villa? My god, such gigantic abalone. I looked it up on the internet, and each one of them should be worth millions."
"Do you think our boss has some kind of power? How else do all these strange things happen?"
Early morning at the fish farm, a group of workers whispered as they gathered around the platform. After a dozen or so days of work, they had found more and more matters to be astonished about. Everyday, all kinds of sea fish would appear in the fish farm waters, and the growth of the yellow croakers and white flower fish seemed to violate every law of nature. The workers were growing more and more confused.
"Alright everyone, stop making up nonsense. Work hard and keep your mouth shut. The boss is taking care of us, so we just need to keep his secrets." Grandpa Feng saw the discussion and spoke up.
Actually, Grandpa Feng had the perspective to understand how truly strange all of this was, but he did not ask and did not speak about it to anyone.
"Boss, our fish farm's situation has led to a lot of talk among the workers. I'm afraid that the strangeness around our fish farm will be spread out to the public."
As he was on his way to the fish farm, Old Huang brought the matter to Chu Xian's attention. Next to him was Sword Two, Sword Three, and the other old mermen, with the new addition of nine fit young men, Alligator One through Nine.
"En." Chu Xian nodded. This matter was something he had expected, and as long as he hired outside workers, they would notice something, but he was not worried.
When he had let Fa Daiyue, Old Shi and the others know about the Dunkleosteuses, he had already prepared for the special situation of his fish farm.
In case anyone thought the situation of his fish farm was strange, he could always blame it all on the dunkleosteus.

It was five years ago. Five years ago when she found herself in this very same place, floating in the pool of water. Amanda could never forget how this was the cave where Trisha, Abasi, and her first met.
Trisha, like any other master of the heart, was the first one to fully mature her powers. That was the day she knew that she was destined to protect the world.
Returning herself to the present, she stared blankly at the water until she heard Trisha call out to her, "Amanda. Amanda."
She looked up to listen to her plea, "Amanda, please. Let's not forget our responsibilities, the fate that the crystals have projected upon us… Please, Amanda, avoid this man. Avoid him at all costs."
It wasn't like she was having romantic feelings for Christopher, Amanda merely felt relieved that for the first time, someone could touch her without getting hurt. She asked herself, 'How could she turn away, the only normal being that could hold her hand?'
Amanda did her best to block Trisha from reading her thoughts. She knew she had to fake it. She let out a heavy sigh and said, "Okay."
All the masters consoled Amanda. Taara even suggested for her to move out from Trinity Bay and stay with her and Brody, but Amanda would rather live alone than to witness her only friends being affectionate with each other.
To relieve them from their worry, she gave assuring words, "Don't worry about me. I can handle this. This is just a phase, and I will get over it. Let's just practice."
For the rest of the day, the masters executed using the crystals of the other. Trisha said, "We will only do this if our partner or one of us is injured and is unable to carry their responsibility. Let me tell you what I and Abasi have discovered so far."
"First, we can only exchange or make use of the other power for a maximum of fifteen minutes," said Trisha.
"I tried to use Trisha's crystal more than - about twenty minutes, but I ended up fainting. My nose bled, and I felt my heart being crushed. Thus, we should remember the time limit of fifteen minutes only, or else. Anything more than that; we don't know exactly the consequences," added Abasi.
Seeing all the masters nod, Trisha proceeded, "Second, you can use the other crystal by calling out to their names, asking them to lend you their strength."
The crystals may seem like a simple glowing gem, but they were a living spirit, each one with a name. The spirits only revealed themselves to the masters upon their request.
The yellow crystal of the heart was a female spirit named Kardia.
The green crystal of time and space was a male spirit named Zaman.
The red crystal of fire was a female spirit named Fiena.
The blue crystal of the water was a male spirit named Mahli.
The brown crystal of the earth was a male spirit named Dunia.
The white crystal of the wind was a female spirit named Angin.
Trisha studied the expressions of all the masters and when she was sure they all understood, she said, "Let me and Abasi show you how it's done." Turning to him, she said, "Abasi, call for my crystal."
Abasi nodded. He glanced at everyone to make sure the masters were looking before focusing his gaze on Trisha.
Slowly, he raised his hand and called for the crystal of the heart. "Kardia, this is the master of the green crystal, calling upon you now. Please lend me your powers."
"Kardia, the spirit of the heart. I allow Abasi to use your powers," Trisha said, hinting to the spirit her permission.
All the masters looked at the changes in Trisha's body. Her second skin began to fade as the yellow crystal appeared on her hand. In just a second, the crystal jumped into Abasi's palm and as soon as his hand clenched into a fist, the yellow crystal was nowhere in sight.
"Do you have it, Abasi?" Amanda asked.
Abasi had his eyes closed and as soon as he opened them, they were glowing in both yellow and green. His second skin became a combination of the said colors. He asked, "Which creature would you like me to call upon? How about all the snakes in this cave - "
"Fuck! I hate snakes!" Exclaimed Taara. "Wait do snakes even have a heart?"
"Only one way to find out," said Abasi before further lightening up his eyes and calling for the replies in the cavern.
Amanda also disliked snakes and seeing them appear everywhere in the cave, she let out her fiery wings to keep them from coming closer. Taara, on the other hand, floated back in the air, screeching in disgusts.
"Okay, we got your point now, Abasi. Please return them to their homes!" Taara pointed out.
Abasi did as requested, asking the reptiles to return to their earlier lairs. He then turned to Trisha and ordered the yellow crystal, "Kardia, the spirit of the heart, return to your true master."
The yellow crystal jumped up in the air, revolving itself before going back into Trisha's palms.
The two masters smiled at each other with content, knowing they had achieved more than the previous masters of their crystals.
"Hey, Abasi! How would you like to be on fire for a change, huh?" Called Amanda. "Let's switch crystals!"
Abasi agreed, and Amanda's lips curved into a naughty grin.
They both called for each other's crystal at the same time, and for a brief moment, their second skins dissolved until they took the form of the other.
The masters were already used to occasionally seeing their bare bodies. There was no malice between them. It was inevitable when changing to their master's form.
When Abasi opened his eyes, they were glowing in red. "Woah! Woah! Hey, Fiena your fire is getting too strong!"
Abasi was in flames, nearly firing up half of the cave. The worst part was, he has yet to learn how to control the power.
"Careful, Abasi you will burn the snakes!" Teased Brody before he laughed.
"Abasi! Let me show you the best way to control the fire!" Yelled Amanda. She closed her eyes and concentrated while saying to herself in silence, 'It's payback time.'
Out of nowhere, Abasi felt his body being sucked in a wormhole. His eyes grew wide, asking, "Amanda! Where are you taking me?"
The next thing he knew, Abasi was falling fast from the sky into the same Anaconda's lair he had earlier sent Amanda to. With his body still on fire, he screamed, "Ahhh! Fuck! Amanda! Bring me back now!"
The anacondas became clearer and clearer in his sight as he fell speedily from the sky. He closed his eyes in anger, unable to let out any phoenix's wings.
In a split second, Abasi reappeared in the cavern and fell into the pool of water.
"Wow, Amanda, you were great!"
"Fascinating!"
Trisha could not help but beam at Amanda. She said, "You are a natural, Amanda. It was rather quick for you to adapt to using the green crystal."

(COMPLETED) Amanda was getting too hot, literally, and only the master of water could cool her down. Unfortunately, he was missing in action. 

****

Amanda was the master of fire. After five years of carrying out her responsibility, she was an accomplished fighter, but soon her strength became unmanageable and only the master of water can tame her flames. 
Sadly, he was nowhere to be found. 

Why? It was a mystery altogether.

****

"I want someone to talk to," Amanda said before taking a deep breath. "I want somebody to hold and... I can only do that with you."

"I did not think you missed me that much," Christopher said with a smirk on his face.

He reached for her cheeks and caressed them with both his hands before he leaned over for a kiss.

Amanda's heart fluttered, seeing his lips inches from her. She gulped and said to herself, 'I might as well splurge.'

His face turning blue, Kothar turned his head as hard as he could, sending mana coursing into his right hand as he did so. The snake's jaws slammed into the mossy ground where Kothar's head had been moments ago. THe venom hissing as it made contact with the moist moss, with the moss freezing and shattering from the snake's breath. The all too familiar crack of Kothar's Bolt spell rang out, and the snake's head disintegrated. Kothar sighed with relief, and pulled the limp body of the snake away from his neck. Kothar pulled a torch from his pack, sending a small stream of sparks to the oil soaked rags to set it alight. He lifted the torch high and saw the crack along one wall. He had become much too slack, Silane was not here to perform constant environmental scans and warn him of danger. He shook his head and examined the snake closer. Its scales were as pale as fresh snow, with a tinge of icy blue shot through them. A clear liquid trickled from the neck of the snake, the hiss it made making it clear that it was the snake's venom. 

A chorus of hisses rang out from the crack, Kothar's head snapped up, as he drew his blade, the mana stored within the runes cracking to life, answering the hiss of the approaching Frost Snakes with a hum of its own. The snakes writhed out from the crack, coiling and twisting over each other in their eagerness to get at Kothar. Kothar glanced behind him, he could easily cast Lightning Aura and flee, but wasn't this exactly the kind of challenge he had come looking for in the Fidour mountains? Why flee now, when he could test himself.Kothar cast Lightning Aura and dashed towards the oncoming snakes. His Skysteel bladed twisting and darted at the emerging snakes, easily lopping off their heads as they reared back in preparation to strike. Dodging and weaving through the throng of twisting snakes, Kothar had the upper hand, his lightning aura meant he could keep up with the snakes, and any snake he failed to dodge would find itself being deterred by the sparking shield. Frustrated, the snakes spat out clouds of ice as they slithered back to their cave, they had retreated suprisingly quickly. Kothar felt a chill run down his back, something was very very wrong. 

A glowing yellow orb peered out at Kothar from the cave, he quickly backed up, as his stomach sank. The snake that emerged was thicker than Kothar's leg, and its pale blue scales were shot through with purple strands. A pair of singular claws had formed on its sides, it seemed that it was undergoing some kind of evolution. The Frost Snake King's scarlet tongue tasted the air, it stared at Kothar, ready to eliminate the threat. The Snake King shot forward at Kothar, breathing out a cloud of ice crystal that flew toward him, Kothar narrowly dodged the cloud, the side of his face nearest to it turning numb. He pointed his enchanted blade at the snake's midsection, and shot out a succession of Bolts, the snake easily twisted its massive bulk, dodging his rapid fire spells. He would have to get in close to hurt it. Kothar leapt forward, aiming for the snake's neck, as he pushed mana into the already charged blade, and the blade hummed louder and louder, until sparks crackled along its edge. Kothar swung at its neck as the snake lunged forward, its massive fangs shining in the light of his sword. The two of them struck together, Kothar' blade sinking into the snake's neck as the Snake King sunk its fangs into his left arm. It's yellow eyes stared viciously at Kothar as the life faded from them, the decapitated head hanging from his arm.
