Chapter 1, Born Extraordinary

Gao Shou and Gao Ren are not hunters; the reason they dared to venture into Gao Jibo is solely because the extraordinary young master has a passion for swimming

Bang

The Gaojiboshuidao is crisscrossed with waterways, featuring an intricate network of rivers and abundant wildlife. The key aspect is that human presence is sparse, which is why the young master particularly enjoys swimming and hunting here. He generally visits two to three times a month, a habit he has maintained for many years

Gao Shoufei kicked Gao Ren into the water and proudly declared: "As the eldest brother, I take charge of this marriage. Second brother, just be at ease and continue being your turtle son-in-law."

Moreover, Gao Bufan also noticed that his strength seemed to be increasing accordingly. Compared to his peers, his strength was several times greater, and even his six senses were much more acute than those of ordinary people

This is not just boasting; it is truly impressive. Young Master Bufen's underwater skills are indeed formidable, akin to the legendary "white strip in the waves". No, it would be more accurate to say "black strip in the waves". Young Master Bufen was originally very fair, but now he is quite tanned from sunbathing.

Gao Bufan, in his previous life as a member of a submarine unit, naturally practiced underwater swimming. However, even after training, his maximum record for holding his breath underwater was only a little over four minutes. Yet, after his reincarnation at the age of two, he was able to hold his breath for five minutes, which was simply miraculous

Gao Bufan patted Gao Ren on the shoulder and sighed: "Gao Laor, you are truly a talent; being a follower is such a waste of your abilities. You might as well become the son-in-law of the Dragon King of Zhangshui, go for it!"

Gao Bufan is not actually named Gao Bufan, or rather, he does not belong here at all. He hails from a world over 1,400 years in the future, originally serving as the chief engineer of a nuclear submarine. A sudden nuclear accident caused him to inexplicably traverse to the era of the Great Sui, becoming the only son of Gao Kaishan, the owner of the Feiying Horse Ranch in Bohai County.

Gao Bufan maintained the posture of a golden rooster standing on one leg after kicking someone, staring intently at his own foot as if a stunning beauty were engraved upon it

Gao Bufan is uncertain whether the world he currently inhabits is indeed the Sui Dynasty of Chinese history, but the emperor is indeed named Yang Guang, with the era name of Daye, and this year is the seventh year of Daye. Furthermore, the canal near Gao Jibo is indeed called Yongji Canal, which was only opened two years ago, allowing direct boat access from the Eastern Capital Luoyang to Zhuojun.

Today, Young Master Bufan has once again sneaked into Gaojibo without the knowledge of the family head. As Young Master Bufan's personal attendants, Gao Shou and Gao Ren can only submit to the young master's tyranny.

A sudden gust of wind swept through, causing the dense reeds all around to undulate like waves, producing a rustling sound, as if countless ferocious beasts were lurking within, instilling a sense of dread

At the age of two, an accidental fall into the water led Gao Bufan to unexpectedly discover a special ability of his: the ability to hold his breath, astonishingly for as long as five minutes. It is known that an average person can only hold their breath for several dozen seconds, and those who can reach two minutes are extremely rare. Achieving five minutes is even more uncommon, while ten minutes is a rarity akin to a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.

An arrow shot through the air with precision, striking the deck of the fishing boat with a dull thud, the arrow's tail buzzing and trembling violently, clearly demonstrating considerable force

"Young Master, may I board the ship now?" Gao Ren, who was soaking in the water, asked pitifully while rubbing his plump backside

However, ever since the banditry became a problem, the head of the family has strictly ordered that no one is allowed to enter the dock. Nevertheless, although Young Master Bu Fan is still young, he is quite resolute in his opinions. Once he decides on something, even the head of the family cannot stop him, let alone his two followers, Gao Shou and Gao Ren.

Gao Renshen nodded in agreement: "That's true, our young master is a reincarnation of the Kunpeng. If he were to serve, it would be as a son-in-law to the Jade Emperor. Other lowly creatures are not worthy of his attention... Oh my!"

For example, the term "Niu Bi Lie Ti" was created by the extraordinary young master, and it shares a similar essence with "Diao Zha Tian".

Young Master!" Gao Shou exclaimed in surprise

Additionally, Young Master Bufen possesses a special skill, which is swimming. He could hold his breath for a tea duration at the age of 3, crossed the Zhang River at the age of 5, and was able to catch fish by hand underwater at the age of 10

Gao Shou exclaimed, "No wonder, but the young master's ability to hold his breath has also improved; this time he managed to stay underwater for an entire incense stick's worth of time"

Gao Shou and Gao Ren were taken aback, but they reacted swiftly, quickly swimming to the back of the fishing boat. Meanwhile, Gao Bufan picked up a piece of the boat's plank with his left hand to shield himself, while gripping the harpoon tightly in his right hand, his gaze sharply directed towards the direction of the incoming arrows

The bandits usually hide in the reeds, waiting for the opportunity to rob and kill passing merchants or ships on the canal. If they encounter soldiers coming to suppress them, they will dive into the boundless reeds of Gaojibo, leaving the soldiers unable to capture even a single hair.

In conclusion, in the world of this dimension, he is destined to be extraordinary from birth

What the heck, is the turtle spirit really here to seek a son-in-law?

Whoosh

Gao Shou and Gao Ren exchanged a strange glance, and the latter pointed at the former, lewdly saying: "Although my elder brother is not as handsome as I am, he excels in having ample vitality, so go for him!"

The current Gaojibo has evidently become a forbidden area, with merchants and travelers doing their utmost to avoid it. Even the nearby residents do not dare to enter easily, leaving only a few hunters who rely on fishing and hunting to support their families to take the risk.

Gao Ren had not finished speaking when a large green-haired monster suddenly emerged from the water beside the fishing boat, startling him and causing him to shiver. Gao Shou, nearby, was also taken aback. Upon closer inspection, they realized that this green-haired monster was actually a giant turtle, astonishingly large, covered in green, hair-like algae, with a long neck and fierce eyes, it was spinning around in place, baring its teeth and claws.

At this moment, Gao Ren had already crawled back onto the boat, drenched, clearly not lacking in swimming skills. With a flattering smile, he complimented, "Young Master, you are truly impressive! Tsk tsk, they say a thousand-year-old turtle and a ten-thousand-year-old soft-shelled turtle, just look at the size of this old turtle, it must have lived for over a hundred years. In a couple of days, it will be the head of the family's birthday. Why not keep it for now and later present it to the head of the family as a birthday gift, wishing him blessings as vast as the East Sea and a longevity surpassing that of the turtle"

Gao Ren was struck by a kick to the rear, propelling him nearly three meters into the air, and he let out a cry as he traced a perfect parabolic arc before landing in the water

At that moment, the surface of the water suddenly broke open, and a lithe figure leaped onto the small fishing boat like a nimble leopard

"Alright, second brother." In response to his younger brother's dissatisfaction, Gao Shou replied dismissively.

The young man was only wearing a pair of leather shorts. Due to years of swimming, his muscles were quite solid, exuding a sense of masculinity and strength under the sunlight. His hair, casually tied up with water plants, added a touch of carefree and unrestrained charm.

This is simply a tale from the Arabian Nights, but upon realizing that even such an incredible event as time travel has occurred to him, Gao Bufan felt a sense of relief. Perhaps nuclear radiation can not only affect human bodily cells but also influence the mind, leading to the evolution of extraordinary abilities after his soul traversed into another body.

The servants of the Gao family privately believe that Young Master Bufan is the reincarnation of a great black fish, and his swimming talent is the best proof of this. However, the butler, being knowledgeable, promptly corrected the tasteless remarks of everyone, stating that Young Master Bufan is the reincarnation of a Kunpeng. He even quoted a line: "In the North Sea, there is a fish named Kun. When it transforms into a bird, it is called Peng" to substantiate this claim, which is hard to refute. He asserted that Young Master Bufan is the reincarnation of a Kunpeng and reiterated the same quote to support his argument, leaving no room for doubt.

At this moment, a young boy climbed onto the ship. He had dark skin and appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, standing about 1.7 meters tall. His features were characterized by a straight nose and a square jaw, with eyebrows as sharp as blades. Particularly striking were his pair of eyes, clear as sweet spring water and bright as the morning star, leaving a lasting impression on those who beheld him

Gao Bufan casually shook the water off his head and tossed the turtle, bound with water plants, beside Gao Shou's feet, saying: "That old turtle is as cunning as a ghost, it took me quite some effort."

It is said that the lady once dreamed of a large black fish crashing into her embrace, and as a result, she became pregnant with the extraordinary young master. On the day the young master was born, the sky was filled with radiant light and a wonderful fragrance wafted through the air, while a giant golden-winged bird soared overhead. Such auspicious signs indicate that the young master is indeed extraordinary, hence the family head named him Gao Bufan.

Gao Shou and Gao Ren sat anxiously in a small fishing boat, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings. This place was originally quite peaceful, but ever since Wang Bo from Zou Ping County in Qi Prefecture raised the banner of rebellion against the Sui Dynasty in the Changbai Mountains, bandits from various regions have surged forth. Gao Jibo, where the Zhang River converges, spans several hundred miles, with dense reeds and bulrushes providing cover, making it a haven for robbers and fierce bandits.

Gao Shou looked puzzled as he glanced at the young master's foot; apart from a small, line-shaped red water bug stuck to it, there was nothing else!

Gao Bufan was about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, a strong sense of crisis surged within him. He quickly crouched down and simultaneously waved his hand to push Gao Shou off the boat.

The extraordinary young master also has the surname Gao, and his name is Gao Bufan

Gao Ren felt somewhat disheartened as he glanced at the burnt-out incense stick, murmuring, "The incense has completely burned out; could it be that the young master has been summoned by the Dragon King of Zhangshui to become a son-in-law?"

Upon mentioning the extraordinary young master, Gao Shou and Gao Ren could not help but reveal expressions of admiration, giving a thumbs up and exclaiming - truly impressive!

The little Zhangshui is merely a chick urinating, does it even qualify to invite our young master to become a son-in-law? Does it deserve that?" He raised his head with his nostrils in the air, showing great disdain

Gao Shou is a person of quick temper. Seeing that the incense stick inserted at the bow of the boat was about to burn out, he became somewhat anxious and nudged the nearby Gao Ren, saying: "Second brother, something is not right. Why hasn't the young master emerged yet?"

Since then, Gao Bufan began to practice swimming. His ability to hold his breath underwater has increased significantly, and he can now remain submerged for half an hour, which is clearly not his limit.

Gao Shou肯定不是高手, Gao Ren也绝对不是高人, 可是不凡少爷却是真的不凡, 非常不凡, 他天赋异禀, 才华横溢, 想法总是那么的天马行空, 而且出口成章, 每有新奇之语, 令人懵比, 又让人叫绝

Gao Bufan reached down to flick off the red water line worm from his foot, thoughtfully retracting his foot and pondering: "Indeed, my strength has increased again"

Call me by my name! Gao Ren was quite displeased. Ever since he learned about another meaning of "Old Two" from Young Master Bu Fan, he has been unwilling to let others call him Old Two anymore
