Feng Ying's
101 - Counting Fish?

Feng Ying continued cultivating under the waterfall for several months. In this place, Qi was very little. The result is not comparable to the cold of the waterfall. Even so, Feng Ying still obeyed her father's words.

Several times, Zhang Jiangwu would give food to Feng Ying. So that the child does not go hungry. Because after all, Feng Ying was still someone who had just started cultivating. His strength was also a little. He needs to eat every day.

Feng Ying's training in cultivation ended after 4 months had passed and she was at the current Qi foundation level. He was invited by his father to go somewhere. He didn't know where his father was going to take him. But to be sure, Feng Ying would continue to follow him.

After a dozen minutes of walking, they finally arrived in front of a fairly large lake. The lake water looks so clear that anyone will be amazed by its beauty. In the lake, there are many fish swimming here and there. All fish in this place are orange and have different sizes. However, the size will not be more than 30 cm.

Feng Ying stared at the lake and the contents within it in awe. He spoke without looking at Zhang Jiangwu, "Dad.. Why are we going to this place?"

"In this place, you have to do the next training." Zhang Jiangwu said flatly.

"Next training?" Feng Ying frowned confusedly. "At this place?"

"Dad wants you to count all the fish that live in this lake and you can't touch them at all. That was the second training I gave you. You should be able to do it within 3 days. If you fail, then punishment awaits you." Zhang Jiangwu said coldly.

Feng Ying looked at Zhang Jiangwu in surprise, "How could I possibly count the number of fish in this lake?! That's not possible! Impossible! Is there no other training, other than this?"

Zhang Jiangwu looked coldly at his son right at the iris of the child's eye so that it frightened him a little, "I've told you not to refute my words. You just have to obey my instructions without contradicting them."

Feng Ying gulped roughly, "T-but how could I count the fish that are in this vast lake?"

"That's your business. None of my business. I just want you to do my intrsuksiku well." Zhang Jiangwu turned his body so as to turn his back on Feng Ying, "..And one more thing, the fish in this lake are just ordinary animals. Their food is meat. They will eat each other because no one will feed them. Any meat that goes into the lake, then he will be directly targeted by fish in the lake. Therefore, I forbid you to touch them. But if you're reckless too, then it's not my fault, if you're torn apart and become food for them."

Zhang Jiangwu said it as if without any burden at all. After that, he immediately left his son who was silent after hearing an explanation from him. Just one word was worth saying to Zhang Jiangwu at the moment. 'Cruel!'

He was so hard treating Feng Ying while training. Whereas, Feng Ying was only a 6-year-old boy who was still lacking in experience. Then, he had Feng Ying count the fish in the lake?! Just be right!

Feng Ying now started to stare at the lake after her father was already not in sight. He began to pay attention well, if some fish now attack each other individually with individuals. Then, there are also those who eat each other. He also tried to put his hand into the lake - confirming Zhang Jiangwu's remark earlier.

Shortly after Feng Ying put her hand in, the real fish immediately approached Feng Ying and were about to pounce on the tiny hand. But fortunately, Feng Ying immediately pulled her hand out from within the lake. "Heh, just want to eat me!", the boy snorted annoyedly at the fish swimming in the lake.

"How do I count them? There's no way I'm going to throw myself in and make all the fish surround me." Mumbled Feng Ying. "..I haven't finished counting them yet, those who will first eat me and tear my body apart."

Feng Ying dissolved in her mind. He thought hard, what way should he do to do this second training. He developed a smile on his tiny lips as he got the idea, "Then, I'll put meat into the lake. If so, the fish will gather and eat it. At times like that, I can count them."

Feng Ying immediately ran away from the lake, intending to find a game animal that she would make food for fish in the lake.

A dozen minutes later, Feng Ying returned by dragging a tiger demonic beast that was no more than 1 meter in size. He was sweating from exhaustion carrying the corpse of this tiger and fighting with it. After all, he had not been taught to fight nor practice physical at this time. So he did everything he could.

Feng Ying painstakingly threw the corpse of the tiger into the lake and instantly, many fish swarmed over. Feng Ying panted heavily. He slightly raised his bowed face tired to start counting the fish. "Eh?"

Feng Ying was surprised that the corpse he was carrying had just disappeared. "K-where.. That body?"

"A-so fast.. If I were the one in his position then..," Feng Ying shuddered in horror at the thought of becoming the corpse of the tiger earlier. "But.. Why is there no bone left at all? Maybe they ate it all up?"

Feng Ying was increasingly shuddering in horror. He thought of another better way to complete his second training.

It had been a day Feng Ying spent thinking and doing plans. But all of that is useless. Whatever he does, it's free.

Feng Ying sat tired by the lake, "Arrgh! So hard!" Her chirps.

When Feng Ying had already counted the 6th fish, it was suddenly eaten by another fish. So now Feng Ying had to count from the beginning. But no matter how hard and fast he tried to count it, there was no result at all.

"Aarrgghhh! How can I count them?!" Kesel Feng Ying's. Because he was too focused on his training, he even forgot to eat.

Feng Ying was laying down on the grass beside the lake. He felt very tired.

"Dad wants you to count all the fish that live in this lake and you can't touch them at all. That was the second training I gave you. You should be able to do it within 3 days. If you fail, then punishment awaits you."

His father's words yesterday came back ringing in Feng Ying's ears. He could not think of what punishment his father would give him later. Because now, his father has changed. Feng Ying sighed, "Huh.. Count the number of fish living in the lake.. How to-"

Feng Ying suddenly smiled when she got the idea. He immediately stood up straight and immediately looked around, as if looking for something.

***

The next day, Feng Ying stood beside the lake. He had just eaten a fruit and now he wanted to finish this second training immediately. So he immediately went to this place with a water container made of bamboo.

"Hehe.. After this, it's done." He muttered with a small twitch. Feng Ying opened the lid of the water container and directly threw the contents inside into the lake. "There's no prohibition for me to kill them, right?", he smiled obliquely.

The water in the lake is starting to change color to greenish. In fact, now appears some fish floating on it and looks difficulty breathing.

Feng Ying smiled with satisfaction. Because of his hard work to make a concoction in the water container was successful. Actually, he put poison into the lake water. Of course, this poison can only be used to pollute water.

He was looking for all the materials he needed. After he finished, he immediately made the poison according to the step on the book he had read. Then this was the result, Feng Ying managed to make it after 3 tries.

Now, all the fish are seen floating on the surface of the lake water. They're all dead, after a dozen minutes. Feng Ying threw the water container she used to store the poison earlier in a careless direction. He smiled widely, "With this, then I don't need to count the number of fish living in the lake. Because they've all... Die."

Feng Ying continued to laugh. Until he had to stop laughing when his head suddenly became dizzy. He held it and closed his eyes tightly. "W-why do I feel dizzy..?"

Perhaps Feng Ying had not read the book until the end. If a person comes in contact with toxins that can contaminate the water, then he will feel dizzy and will faint for days.

Feng Ying's small body started to limp and instantly fell forward. His eyes were completely closed at this moment and did not know if someone was walking closer to him.

At first glance, it can be seen if the man looks at the lake and shakes his head to see the condition. "I never even thought of doing it. I thought, he'd only kill the fish in the lake one by one." Mumbled. He was none other than Zhang Jiangwu.
