Splash!
A black catfish swims freely in the water, feeling a wave of heat in its belly after an unknown amount of time.
Plop!
In the True Martial Space, a black catfish lands on the ground, its tail still flapping non-stop.
"This... can animals practice martial arts and become exotic beasts? Beast Gods?"
"No, with this intelligence, I'd get exhausted to the point of vomiting blood..."
Fang Xing waves his hand dismissively with a look of disdain.
The catfish is thrown out again.
...
An unknown amount of time passes.
Splash!
Water splashes as a fat catfish is caught and lands in front of a young boy.
"What a big catfish!"
The boy is tall, with fair skin, and features slightly resembling mixed heritage.
He flicks the fishing rod, strings the catfish, and carries it toward his home.
This is a shack area by the river, built with various discarded boards and cardboard, resembling a slum.
And just across a wall stands the harbor city of Daluo – Xinfeng City!
