Chapter 424: Water Spirit

Chapter 424: Water Spirit

Fang Che clenched his teeth, bubbles emerging from his nose, his mind filled with disbelief.

They had agreed to enter a secret realm, but how was it that after falling into it, he found himself submerged in water? Moreover, the water was quite deep.

Fang Che had a sword slung across his back and a knife at his waist, both weighing several hundred pounds or more, making them feel like lead weights on his body. With his current lack of control over his body, he sank straight to the bottom.

Fang Che counted in his mind, then continuously tried to circulate his spirit energy.

He sank quietly without any struggle.

When Fang Che reached the count of six hundred and twenty-three, he finally felt something under his feet.

Was this the bottom?

Fang Che looked down and saw only a bright fish tail, as large as the door of a wealthy family, fiercely slapping his face.

Whoosh!

Fang Che was slapped several dozen meters away by the fish tail, and then, surprisingly, he used the force of the slap to rise seventeen or eighteen meters before continuing his descent.

"This damn..."

Fang Che touched his face, which had gone a bit numb from the slap, and felt speechless.

Just now, he must have touched the back of a large fish with his toes, causing it to flee in surprise and slap him with its tail. What a coincidence that it slapped right onto his face!

Looking at the direction the fish fled, Fang Che could no longer see any trace of it. However, he was still a bit shocked.

This fish was huge!

Conservatively speaking, it should be at least two or three thousand pounds, and what's more rare was that it seemed to be a freshwater fish?

It should taste delicious.

Fang Che continued to sink, grumbling to himself.

There was no way; his dantian's spirit energy seemed completely sealed, making it impossible to mobilize any power.

"This must be a thousand zhang deep, right? How can there still be such a large fish here, and it's so deep that the bottom can't even be seen. This place... is so different from the outside world..."

"If my dantian remains sealed like this, it'll be hard to even get out... If I enter this damned Yin-Yang Realm and end up drowning in the water without accomplishing anything, it won't just be a matter of being unjustly treated, but becoming a joke throughout history..."

Fang Che's mind wandered aimlessly.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the bottom, feeling light and airy.

As expected, there was no mud, only large stones covered with algae.

Opening his eyes, he saw a stretch of emerald-green lake water, as far as the eye could see.

It was like a massive piece of top-grade jade, indescribably beautiful.

At the bottom of the water, faint light flickered, and countless small, nameless fish swam back and forth.

Bang, bang, bang...

A huge group of millions of small fish rushed towards Fang Che, bumping into him.

The collisions made Fang Che's forehead throb.

Fang Che opened his mouth, and a small fish swam in, which he bit down on, tearing it in half. He swallowed the lower half, and blood-tinged water gushed from his mouth.

The upper half of the fish, however, was snatched away by the other fish the moment it was bitten, and they all swarmed around it.

In the blink of an eye, the upper half of the fish had become a clean, bare fishbone.

"Holy shit!" Fang Che's heart raced with shock.

These damn fish were carnivores.

He quickly spat out the half-eaten fish.

The million small fish surrounded Fang Che, blocking his vision, their tiny mouths biting at his face and body.

But Fang Che's body was now as tough as steel, and these little fish couldn't bite through it. Even without the ability to use his spirit energy, these fish were no match for him.

Fang Che grabbed handfuls of fish, crushing them to death. Their lifeless bodies floated in the water, only to be devoured by the other fish.

As Fang Che killed more and more fish, they continued to swarm around the new corpses, and finally, Fang Che's eyes could see again.

He didn't know which direction was the shore, so he braced himself on the lake bed, one hand on his knife and the other on his sword, and began walking in a certain direction.

With his continuous attempts, the spirit energy in his dantian loosened slightly, reducing the pressure he felt significantly.

Solving the problem of his inner energy circulation.

Fang Che finally felt relieved, at least he wouldn't suffocate in the water.

He chose a relatively stable large stone at the bottom and used it to leverage himself, but unexpectedly discovered a cluster of emerald-green leaves on one side of the stone. Above these leaves were tiny, red fruits the size of a fingertip.

"Could this be something good?"

Fang Che reached out and pulled out the entire plant, a total of six of these green grasses, each with two small red fruits. He tightly held them in his left hand.

Regardless of whether they were useful or not, since it wasn't easy to come down here, following the principle of not leaving empty-handed, Fang Che's penchant for stealing, he decided to uproot the entire plant.

He gathered his spirit energy for half an hour, and with a swing of his long knife, a large cloud of mist emerged.

Fang Che slashed the stone with his knife, the powerful rebound force propelling him upwards like an arrow.

His speed was faster than the dust rising from the stone, and in an instant, he was out of the water.

Originally, the Netherworld was the most suitable place for this, but his divine awareness had yet to recover, so he couldn't retrieve it.

However, using the Dark Lord Blade was the same.

His inner energy circulated within his body, and the spirit energy in his meridians grew stronger.

Fang Che sprinted a hundred meters before slashing down again, his body launching into the air once more.

After seventy or eighty consecutive slashes...

The lake's surface was calm.

Several water birds were floating on it, leisurely paddling with their red webbed feet, graceful and composed.

But...

With a splash, Fang Che emerged from beneath one of the water birds.

He sputtered, spraying water from his mouth.

The water bird was clearly stunned.

As it swam peacefully, something suddenly collided with its soft belly.

It was propelled into the air, momentarily dazed, and before it could react, its wings were already flapping.

A moment later, it frantically stomped its webbed feet on the round object beneath it, squawking in alarm as it took flight.

"Holy shit! What's it like to have your belly suddenly blocked... This damn... There's a ghost in the water!"

As the large bird flew away, the surrounding birds also took flight, squawking in unison.

The lake's surface was filled with chaotic white silhouettes.

Fang Che looked on... Oh, what a beautiful sight. It turned out to be a group of swans.

Looking at himself, he realized he was in the middle of a body of water, likely a lake, with no end in sight in the front, left, or right directions. Only behind him, he could vaguely make out the distant embankment.

Fang Che summoned the limited amount of spiritual energy he could use and began to swim, using both his hands and feet.

With a splash, as he churned the water, not far away, several large fish also leaped out of the water.

Plop, plop...

They seemed to resonate with each other.

Fang Che swam vigorously on the water's surface, and behind him, further away, a continuous stream of large fish joyfully jumped out of the water, creating splashes.

He was having the time of his life.

After a full hour, Fang Che reached the shore. He plucked some water grass from the bottom of the lake and chewed on it, but finding the roots dirty, he decided to hold the red fruit in his mouth instead.

Using both his hands and feet, he climbed onto a large rock, his body drenched.

He panted heavily.

When he tried to spit out the water grass, he realized... Huh?

Where was the grass? He looked at the surface of the water, but it wasn't there.

He smacked his lips, sensing a faint herbal fragrance in his mouth. The water grass and the twelve fruits had seemingly melted in his mouth.

He swallowed them.

Now, only a few grass roots remained in his mouth, and they were still melting.

He curled his tongue and swallowed them.

"What the hell is this... It can't be poisonous, right?"

Fang Che wasn't afraid, even if it was poisonous.

He had plenty of medicinal pills prepared in his possession.

Then, he felt a cool sensation rise within him as the water grass melted, entering his meridians and dantian. His strength seemed to undergo a subtle change.

Fang Che couldn't explain why, but as he gazed at the water's surface before him, he suddenly felt an unusual sense of familiarity with this body of water. He wanted to play in it, and as he scooped up some water with his hand, the feeling became even more peculiar.

He splashed into the water again.

This time, the sensation was completely different.

Fang Che felt as if this water had become a part of his body, or perhaps his body had melted into the water.

He could move freely in the water, even more comfortably and naturally than on land.

With a thought, he raised his hand, and with a rumble, a torrent of water several zhang high surged and formed a giant wave.

Fang Che was startled.

"I didn't even use much force! How did this happen...?"

After a few more experiments, he quickly understood.

"Could this be the legendary Water Spirit Grass?"

Legend has it that after consuming Water Spirit Grass, one naturally becomes close to water. Regardless of whether it's a river, lake, sea, or ocean, they all feel like home.

All water flows can be controlled with ease, like an extension of one's arm.

"But it's not supposed to be this effective..."

Fang Che excitedly continued his experiments, using his hands, feet, and a slight amount of spiritual energy, without exerting any force...

"What a treasure!"

Fang Che was thrilled.

"This Yin-Yang Realm is such a wonderful place. I obtained these incredible fruits as soon as I entered, and with this amazing ability, I can now freely go to any body of water:

"With this ability, I can now freely go to any body of water, right?"

"Amazing!"

"If the Yin Water Palace saw these fruits, they'd probably fight to the death to get them. But now, they've fallen into my hands."

Fang Che's heart stirred.

The water beneath him automatically surged, forming a platform that rose above the water's surface, carrying him to the rock.

Then, with a splash, the water fell back into the lake.

"This skill will definitely be useful in the future!"

Fang Che muttered to himself, not forgetting that he had come here for a trial. Although he had obtained a treasure, it didn't mean others would return empty-handed.

As Fang Che was about to stand up, he looked down and froze, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Because...

On the flat rock before him, words suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was the rules of the Yin-Yang Realm.

And a ring also emerged from the rock, floating into view.
