Robert, seemingly in an effort to regain face, cast the lure towards the marked spot under the water without any commentary, very casually.
Lin Yang and Wang Feng also refused to show weakness, choosing the same spot to cast their lines.
The three lures fell into the water within three meters of each other. Lin Yang's chosen lure was slightly smaller, so it took a bit longer to sink, but Lin Yang didn't mind this detail at all, allowing Robert to start reeling in first.
Feeling the lure touch bottom, Lin Yang remembered the approximate sinking time and gently lifted the rod tip, animating the underwater lure.
A brief hover, followed by a slight acceleration, then another pause and a slow descent—Lin Yang repeated the process.
Under his control, the underwater lure mimicked a lively fish that had ventured into unfamiliar territory, somewhat confused yet curious about everything around it.
Although the action of the lure was undoubtedly convincing, there were no effective bites.
