From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

"Boom."

Suddenly, You Ming heard a soft sound, like a pebble falling into a calm lake.

He opened his eyes.

The scene before him was completely different from the world he was familiar with. He found himself lying on the calm water, with ripples slowly spreading outwards from him. It was as if time itself had slowed down, and the whole world was enveloped in a layer of tranquil water.

His body seemed to turn into water, and when he raised his arm, it fell as if melting.

He looked down at the water, his shadow clearly reflected underwater.

But at this moment, he couldn't quite tell which side was the truth.

The surrounding water was extremely calm, reflecting the sky. You Ming gently ran his finger across the water, and the ripples spread out, causing the water to ripple slightly, as if one could sense its subtle emotions.

However, when he gazed at the water again, the ripples seemed to have erased all traces of time. He didn't see himself, but rather an endless expanse of water, its currents constantly turning, as if it were an integral part of his own life.

He watched the ripples, the waves, and the flow of the water, as if he had grasped something.

"Water has no fixed shape and changes with the circumstances. It can be as turbulent as rivers and seas or as still as a clear mirror. Its nature is gentle and compliant, capable of accommodating all things, and wherever it goes, it is in harmony with nature."

Suddenly, a passage of text appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

Is this... a fragment of some martial arts technique?

You Ming's heart skipped a beat. He was certain that he had never read this sentence before. So this sentence must have come from the memory incarnation of Qinglian Jun?

"bass."

You Ming's heart skipped a beat. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the outside world.

Rain poured down from heaven and earth.

He looked up at the sky and earth, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

However, when he gently extended his palm, the surrounding rain seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, and the rain within a radius of a hundred feet transformed into streams of water that condensed in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a water sphere.

"Cuckoo."

The water sphere kept wriggling, as if it were alive, constantly winding and changing along Youming's body. As soon as he had a thought, the water could change into countless different shapes.

"My affinity for water... has reached this level."

You Ming's racial bloodline is very weak. He possesses a portion of the [Golden Spirit Carp] bloodline, but he has not gained a very strong affinity for water attributes. Even when he uses water-based spells, the bloodline bonus is not as great as the spell bonus.

But now, he feels as if these waters have become a part of his body, and he can control them at will with just a thought.

"Om."

In an instant, the void around him turned into a mirror again, and then cracks appeared, trying to tear You Ming apart.

The Black Prison General only killed the Dream Tide Goddess Biyuan; there was also the Mirror Lake Goddess present.

Seeing the little carp staring blankly, she launched a fierce attack.

"Pong."

As the void tore apart, Youming's body shattered like fragile glass, scattering across the ground in an instant.

In the next instant, the fragments wriggled and, like flowing water, reassembled, and You Ming's body reappeared. You Ming's emotions, however, remained completely calm, as if he had not just been attacked.

He was still basking in the sudden boost to his water affinity.

After the Black Prison Underworld General killed a memory avatar of Qinglian Jun, a piece of information inexplicably appeared in his mind, and then his control over the water flow greatly improved.

This is just like playing a video game, with items falling from the sky.

However, thinking of this, he still secretly activated the [Gift of Fate] buff, which can increase the chance of dropping rare items.

Then, he looked at the Mirror Lake Goddess who had just attacked him, and then at the health and mana bars that seemed to stretch across the sky in the distance, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.

Killing one is the same as killing two...

He looked up at the Mirror Lake Goddess in front of him, and in an instant, a mysterious light appeared around him. In the [Battle Vision], he quickly activated the [Aim Assist] plugin, and a dazzling beam of mysterious light shot out like an arrow.

It pierced through the goddess's body in an instant, and then the mysterious light burned like fire, directly blasting her into dust.

Although these goddesses possessed superb water magic, their actual strength was only average. Even the Black Prison Underworld General could easily kill them, so it was naturally a matter of one move for You Ming to deal with them.

He didn't dare to fight back before, purely out of fear of Qinglian Jun's reputation.

"That feels much better."

You Ming let out a long breath, but suddenly, he found himself back in that vast body of water.

Everything in the world disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of water.

The water appears still, yet a vast power is brewing within its depths. An almost ineffable force awaits its momentary eruption.

"Water possesses virtue, and also power; calm as a mirror, it reflects all things. Yet when it is angry, it will surely harm what it touches, crushing mountains and splitting them..."

In You Ming's mind, another passage of scripture appeared out of nowhere. This passage seemed to share the same origin as the previous one, but they were not connected and had too many missing parts.

Even so, You Ming found that his affinity for water had increased once again.

If the previous improvement focused on the ability to control water flow, the current improvement focuses on how to use water flow to increase destruction.

You Ming pointed his finger, and the water in the void gathered, instantly forming a lake-like surface. But the next moment, every tiny drop of water burst open, transforming into powerful vibrations and explosive force.

This is only him using his affinity talent to manipulate water flow. If he were to integrate it into magic, the damage bonus would probably be higher than that brought by the [Golden Spirit Carp] bloodline.

You Ming glanced around, then picked up the little white dragon and flew away again towards Changning County.

As he flew, he kept an eye on Qinglianjun's terrifyingly long health bar, fearing that the other party might slap him to death.

However, he was clearly overthinking it.

Qinglianjun transformed into a torrential rain, yet she seemed to become a part of heaven and earth. In fact, her battle intent remained in a state of "immersion," and she seemed unaware that her avatar had been killed.

After flying for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, You Ming suddenly stopped, and a mysterious light appeared around him, protecting his body.

He turned to look around; the rain was heavy and the fog was thick, as if he were isolated from the world.

Yuanling Mountain is only a few dozen miles away from Changning County. I have been flying for so long, how come I still haven't seen the city?
His bad premonition grew stronger.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, he looked up and suddenly found that Qinglianjun's health had dropped from 100% to 98%, and his mana bar had dropped to 88%.

Does this mean that Qinglian-jun is under attack?
