I Am Supreme

Chapter 376: A Strange Fish

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yang was truly distraught, and understandably so! Anyone would be if faced with this situation.

No matter how much he was vexed about it though, he could not do anything to the fish. After all, he had tried too many a times and knew that he could not really touch the fish, no matter what method he used. Otherwise, he would have long acted upon it. He could only watch as the giant fish that swallowed and expelled him swam away.

However, it was at this moment that an unexpected event occurred. The giant fish stopped abruptly and began twirling where it was as if it was looking for something…

Its large eyes, that was the size of a house, were wide as they searched the waters.

The giant fellow realized with a start that it seemed to have eaten something rather amazing.

Although it had only gone through its stomach once, it had refreshed it and made it feel good. Even its body seemed to have grown slightly bigger.

It was unbelievable! How could it forgo such an amazing meal?

So this gigantic creature faltered. It was not leaving. Realizing the wonder, it was searching for the gem. Everything was just a matter of course.

However, the search was futile. The giant fish was disappointed, but another thought came to it. How had it gotten the gem earlier? It was just swallowing and expelling water; it would just repeat the same motions. Thus, it went off in its search, swimming back and forth while swallowing and expelling at the same time. Gradually, that section of the Lunar River became a huge whirlpool.

In spite of this, the water's surface was calm as a mirror.

Of course, Yun Yang would not commit the same mistake twice. He stuck close under the big creature's fin. No matter how the fish searched and swallowed, as long as it could not swallow its fin, he would not go into its stomach.

Yun Yang was puzzled as well. The fish had obviously missed him earlier. After cultivating the Holy Water Charm, he was one with the water, tangible but formless. Even he could not find himself! How could the creature have sensed him?

Yun Yang had obviously ignored something, something very important.

When Yun Zuiyue fed Yun Yang those treasured resources of the heaven and earth, she had already made Yun Yang a human form of the same ingredients. Even if his physical form was turned into a stream of water, the medicinal strength would not disappear. It would only be expelled from his pores as part of his metabolism.

As for the giant, humongous fish, it was exactly that which it had enjoyed and was looking for more, having tasted richness.

"It's probably hard to get out of this situation now. Since it's so difficult, why don't I take the opportunity to study this fish?"

Yun Yang executed the Holy Water Charm delicately to ensure he stayed in the form of a stream of water, darting back and forth around this big creature's body to observe it carefully.

"This fish has made a huge stir, but it didn't make me feel threatened. Its skills aren't practical nor is it adequate… I wonder if it tastes good. Too bad, this river's fish can be seen but not touched, nor caught. What a regret!"

Yun Yang then suddenly had a wild thought, "Right, since this fish is so titanic, will it have a core?"

Thinking about it, Yun Yang had the wild idea to re-enter the giant fish's stomach and have a look. He did just that - slipping into the big fellow's mouth with a swoosh.

The giant fish was sucking with a widely agape mouth, hoping to swallow some gems again, but before a new cycle could begin, it felt a stream of water rushing into its mouth straight into its stomach.

Its opened mouth, that could very well swallow a city gate whole, stayed frozen as it was stunning.

What? What happened?

As the large fellow remained in a stunned silence, Yun Yang had already successfully entered its stomach.

The fish of the Lunar River that could not be touched with his original physical state was actually accessible through his water state!

Yun Yang executed the Holy Water Charm carefully as he went on his way, searching. With his cautious control, he would not spit out by the fish's reflex. However, the benefits that the giant was reaping from his presence was growing increasingly strong.

The giant fish still did not understand what had happened. It only knew that it had swallowed the beneficial gem again and that some oddities were lingering in its stomach. Out of natural instinct and fear that its similar species would come to snatch it away, the giant fish quieted down immediately and bolted forward all the way in delight, carrying Yun Yang along in its merry way.

Its speed was ten times faster than Yun Yang when he was moving with his first stage of Holy Water Charm!

The gigantic fish would never have thought that the person in its stomach had no good intention at all and was slowly but surely approaching its vital point now.

Yun Yang, who was swimming leisurely in the fish's stomach, sensed a flash of bright light in front and followed it, going forward slowly until he arrived at the dazzling spot.

Looking properly, Yun Yang could not help but gasp, even with his usual calm demeanor.

Right in front of him hung a bunch of massive… grapes? No, it was something similar, but its size was much larger than grapes.

There were about forty to fifty massive grapes before him; each one of them was round and colorless, shining with a crystal-clear, translucent radiance. They were the size of watermelons, and all of them exuded a rich, spiritual Qi.

At the same time that this special spiritual Qi made Yun Yang feel comfortable, it had him feeling a subtle sense of dejavu. He had never seen it, but it felt familiar; it was a strange feeling.

It was when Yun Yang saw the glimmering cold light inside that he realized with a start, a thought popping into his mind.

"This is obviously a Luna Essence!"

Yun Yang tried making the shape of a hand out of the stream of water to grab it; hugging one of them with both hands and tugged it down with force.

With a soft clack, Yun Yang actually managed to pluck one off.

The gigantic fish, that was still moving forward with a relaxed stroke, had no sense of this, not reacting any differently than it was before.

Did it not feel the pain?

Yun Yang, who had divided a part of his divine sense to observe the fish's action, was stunned. He was ready for an adverse reaction from the gigantic fish that could upturn the world, but the giant fellow acted no differently, going on its way as usual. Was this not strange?

What happened next baffled Yun Yang even further.

He watched unblinkingly as the big watermelon of a grape core held with his both hands made out of water crumbled soundlessly. The air contained within dissipated at once, unable to be salvaged. His hands were empty then.

The gap where he had plucked one off of the bunch grew another new watermelon grape!

Yun Yang was speechless. How enchanting!

What a huge surprise, and just as he entered Lunar River!

Yun Yang made another dozen attempts but they were all futile and a waste of effort. There was obviously a rich sense of spiritual energy before his eyes, but he could not absorb it. The watermelon grape was easily picked but it would return by itself!

Yun Yang was hysterical after the failed attempts.

It was just like seeing an immensely tall treasure mountain three feet before himself and as long as he crumbled a small piece, he would be free of toil in this lifetime. Yet, when he tore a piece, that piece glued itself back to the mountain before he could take it away.

Having it in one's hand did not necessarily mean possessing it - Yun Yang finally understood the core meaning of this saying! It was so f*cking frustrating!

The current situation troubled Yun Yang.

He could distinctly tell that it was a special energy and would contribute greatly, but the issue right now was that he could not take it no matter how he tried!

He could see it and touch it, but he could not take it away! It was beyond frustrating, it was driving him nuts.

Yun Yang had never seen this strange fish before nor had he seen such strange water, in addition to this magical mysterious energy.

There were a lot of mysterious energy said to exist in this world with various levels of power but the one Yun Yang encountered today was never mentioned in the myths - how mythical it was!

The Lunar River, one of the four greatest mysterious waters that were renowned in Tianxuan Continent, finally shed a layer of its enigmatic veil in front of Yun Yang today! It was just unknown if this veil was the innermost layer, the middle layer or just the surface layer.

Yun Yang's incessant attempts were all in vain. He finally felt the fruitlessness, yet he was indignant; the treasured mountain was right before him, but he had to return empty-handed? Just as he was struggling with his thoughts, he was spit out again.

"Unlucky!" Yun Yang sighed.

The first time being treated so was a surprise that could not be helped. This time, it was asking for it himself!

However, Yun Yang was indignant with the chance placed before him; he turned into a stream of water and entered again. Yun Yang changed his way of clinging to the host though, turning into a drop of blood at once with a shift in cultivation once he entered.

This was the remarkability of Holy Water Charm. As long as the cultivator was achieved and competent in his skill, he could turn into any liquid in this world with a cultivation method. Of course, Yun Yang's current cultivation skill was still inadequate, so he could only turn into blood; he was still far from being capable enough to turn into mercury, molten gold or lava!

After turning into a drop of blood, Yun Yang could stay attached to the fish's stomach. After all, Yun Yang was a part of its body now; they would not be separated as easily.

Since there was no worry of being spat out a certain way, Yun Yang went on again to poke at the bunch of - grapes.

Spiritual grapes that were as huge as watermelons.
