Fishing Livestream

"Where did you go? Morning exercise?" Yue Feng asked He En, scrutinizing him closely.

Wang Xiaomin nodded while panting heavily, "Yeah, today is the first day. I haven't run before, and it's quite tiring!"

"What's up, have a goal now, practicing self-discipline?"

"Yeah!"

"Alright, good. How far did you run? If you're not too tired, I can guide you starting with stretching and adjusting your breathing rhythm!"

"Okay!" Wang Xiaomin agreed, turned around, and followed.

Half an hour later, Wang Xiaomin's shirt was soaked with sweat, while Yue Feng next to him seemed much more relaxed, calm and collected, performing various stretching exercises after the run.

At seven-thirty, all team members had breakfast and gathered downstairs.

Today's tournament enters the third phase.

The draw for the quarter-final,

Random draw forming four groups, mixed breeding and target fish competitions will determine the top four.

From the first day of the competition, the Yuefeng Club team held a strong advantage, facing today's matches with quite a relaxed attitude, as their captain hadn't taken the stage yet with good results.

However, the leader Niu Ben had some concerns.

After stopping the car, Niu Ben asked Yue Feng, "Are you not planning to compete today?"

Yue Feng: "Let's first see who our opponents are in the draw. If we have a good chance to win, I'll let the team members continue to train. If it's tricky, then I'll consider participating!"

"Alright! Out of the eight teams, the last few are definitely wins for us! It's up to the luck of the draw now!"

"Yeah!"

At eight-ten, the referee announces over the loudspeaker, inviting representatives from each team to come forward and draw their opponents!

It was supposed to be Yue Feng, the captain, making a public appearance on stage, but he didn't go up and instead turned to Wang Xiaomin: "Xiaomin, it's the draw, you go!"

"Oh!" Wang Xiaomin responded, striding onto the stage.

The staff was slightly surprised upon seeing Wang Xiaomin, as other teams had older captains, while Yuefeng Fishing Tackle sent a young player.

In such an occasion, Wang Xiaomin remained calm and confidently picked a ball as instructed by the staff.

Upon opening it, Wang Xiaomin frowned slightly.

Tiancheng Club!

This is a tough opponent; Tiancheng Club ranked third previously, just a bit lower than Hua Clan. They are strong contenders for the tournament championship.

Unexpectedly met them early in the quarter-final.

After the draw was completed, ten minutes were left before submitting the lineup order, Niu Ben gathered everyone together.

"Luck wasn't in our favor, we drew Tiancheng Club, Yue Feng you prepare to compete! Their team is tough, everyone be careful!"

Yue Feng asked: "How tough? How tough?"

Niu Ben explained: "Tiancheng's boss and Tianying Club are brothers, even though the club isn't affiliated with a fishing tackle company, they are definitely a strong team in competitive Taiwan Fishing!

Last year, when the club league started becoming popular, their boss invested heavily to recruit numerous top experts.

Captain Qiu Guoyun, National Level Competitive Fishing Master, almost reached Special Level last year if luck was slightly better.

I think he's the only one currently who can compete with you on target fish, dubbed Unrivaled Crucian Carp in the circle! He's very good in mixed breeding as well.

Vice Captain, Guo Limin, Second Level Competitive Fishing Master, very stable angling, especially with slow fish, no one can take advantage of him.

Main player Zhang Xufei, Third Level Competitive Fishing Master, among young anglers, his technique is outstanding. It might not sound too impressive at Third Level, but he earned those Points with just a year of competitions.

Also, Sun Hao, another new Third Level Competitive Fishing Master, ranked first in last year's Points race.

The only one without a ranking is Niu Zhuangzhuang, also a fierce competitor in the circle, last year Xiaomin was sanctioned in that match against Tiancheng, facing him! Among these five, not one is an easy opponent!"

After Niu Ben introduced them thoroughly, Yue Feng didn't tense up but instead grinned: "Sounds intimidating, how do they compare with top anglers like Tianyuan, Hua Clan?"

Niu Ben responded: "It's not really an obvious advantage against them, it's evenly matched, depends on the performance!"

"Then it's settled! No need to worry, we understand the fish conditions thoroughly, compete confidently, and do your respective jobs well! Let's knock out Tiancheng early!"

"Or, should I be replaced? Let's win first then decide!" Wang Zhen suggested.

Yue Feng shook his head: "No need! As long as it's not Hua Clan, I hadn't planned to compete against any other teams! Stick to the usual plan, the five of you go! Compete boldly, if we're at a disadvantage in target fish temporarily, I can step in for mixed breeding later! After all, it's based on total weight!"

Seeing Yue Feng's decision, Niu Ben nodded: "Alright, follow your idea! But let's adjust the sequence this time!

Zhao Zheng your pace is fast, you start first, Wang Zhen second, Wang Xiaomin third, Zhao Ran fourth, Xue Kai finishes!

You've heard the captain's words just now, we're focusing on stability this match! If there's no problem, I'll submit the lineup!"

Niu Ben's new strategy is actually not much different from yesterday, both Zhao Zheng and Zhao Ran have mature techniques, good enough for the initial rounds to understand fish conditions, the only difference is Zhao Zheng's pace is a bit faster.

Putting Zhao Ran in the later rounds allows for more time to respond in case he faces Qiu Guoyun and Guo Limin, preventing young players from suffering losses.

"No problem, go with that lineup!" Yue Feng nodded, finalizing the decision.

...

While Yue Feng and Niu Ben discussed the lineup, Tiancheng Club was also intensely discussing theirs.

Captain Qiu Guoyun placed Niu Zhuangzhuang first, and the most stable Guo Limin third, but was refused by Old Guo.

"I think it's better to place me second or fourth! If I face Yue Feng, I definitely can't handle it!" Guo Limin shook his head disagreeing with being third.

Qiu Guoyun shook his head: "I've reviewed Yue Feng's technical data countless times in the past year or two. Anyone in our team, including me, will have a hard time against that guy! We can only hope other team members can reduce the disadvantage!

Old Guo, you're at least more stable when facing him compared to me. If I or Xiaofei go third, it would impact the overall performance too much!"

Understanding this, Guo Limin remained silent,

Qiu Guoyun's meaning was clear, he's not good at fishing fast fish, encountering Yue Feng is just about stabilizing the situation, playing the weaker role in Tian Ji Horse Racing and giving the results to others more skilled in fast fishing.

"Alright, let's go with your plan! I want to experience and see how formidable this Fishing King truly is!" Guo Limin agreed.

Soon, Tiancheng Club finalized their lineup.

Niu Zhuangzhuang first, Sun Hao second, Guo Limin third, Qiu Guoyun fourth, Zhang Xufei finishes.

Once submitted based on their understanding, seeing the announced order left Tiancheng's captain Qiu Guoyun dumbfounded.

What the heck? At this critical quarter-final juncture, Yue Feng isn't planning to compete at all?
