Liang Qu stopped rowing, waiting for the newcomer.
Once closer, he noticed that the man stood on a remarkably narrow canoe, somewhat similar to a single scull boat but slightly wider, with tools hanging on the side resembling fishing rods.
But that wasn’t the main point.
The main point was that the man was approaching quickly without rowing!
A master!
Liang Qu felt a chill in his heart, becoming alert.
Ordinary people can't control water like that, moving without the wind—a sure sign of some unique force.
He should have realized earlier when he was called—the sound reached him from a mile away, clear as day, far beyond a normal shout's reach for someone that far away.
With Liang Qu's current skill, his techniques lacked somewhat, but his foundation was solid.
In a contest with a new Galloping Horse Realm martial artist, he could hold his own, and on the river, even a grandmaster at the full Galloping Horse Realm wouldn’t be impossible to challenge.
