Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 96 Become a Dragonborn!
The impact of the water was like a huge wall of water crashing down on him, making his chest feel tight for a moment, and he was almost knocked backward and fell.

Chen Baiyu pushed off the bottom of the pool with both feet, his knees slightly bent, and he stuck himself firmly into the crevices of the rocks at the bottom of the water like nails.

He quickly reached out with both hands and grabbed two moss-covered rocks.

The moss was so slippery it looked like it had been coated with oil, but his fingers were incredibly strong. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the crack in the stone, firmly fixing his body in place.

The waterfall's power remained ferocious, and the curtain of water nearly engulfed him entirely.

The immense pressure caused him to bend over as soon as he entered the waterfall, his shoulders hunched slightly, and his neck instinctively shrank back.

The water lashed against his back like a whip, making a dull thud.

but……

"Ha... nothing special."

Chen Baiyu gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

A smile gradually crept onto his lips.

He could sense that although the power was terrifying, it was not yet insurmountable.

After all, it was only a few hours of rain, and with several gentle slopes along the waterfall to buffer the impact, the force of the rain was greatly reduced.

If it's a flash flood following a heavy rain, then you really shouldn't even think about it.

That was a natural disaster.

Even if he were ten times stronger, he would never be able to withstand its pressure head-on; his fate would still be to be mercilessly swallowed up and instantly killed.

But if it's just this level...

That's not enough!

Chen Baiyu took a deep breath, his chest bulging.

It withstood the impact of the water flow like an inflated tire.

Then his leg muscles bulged, supporting his body like steel bars, and his arms slowly exerted force, lifting his upper body little by little.

"one two three!"

He counted silently in his mind, and each time he counted to three, he would exert a little force to straighten his body upwards.

As his posture gradually changed from a half-squat to a slight bow, his vision slowly emerged from the water curtain, no longer having to rely solely on his divine sense to observe his surroundings through the obstructing water curtain.

The world behind the water curtain was blurry and distorted, as if viewed through a flowing glass.

Water droplets kept sliding down his hair, along his cheeks and chin, and into the pool.

Chen Baiyu wiped her long hair, which had been disheveled by the water.

He flicked the water droplets from his eyes and grinned wildly.

"Ha—hahahaha!"

"Awesome! That's fucking awesome!!!"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—it's all water!"

He couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, which echoed through the curtain of water, intertwining with the roar of the waterfall to create a strange resonance.

Few people can truly understand what this feeling is like.

This is a struggle between humanity and nature.

Although it is only a small part of nature, it still gives people an indescribable sense of pleasure.

This feels so good!
Moreover, this was the first time Chen Baiyu had truly experienced the joy of a challenge since obtaining the system.

Whether it was playing games or running marathons, he always held back, never truly enjoying himself.

Although it required acting to change jobs, he did put in his best effort to perform seriously in order to ensure the rewards wouldn't be bad.

However, putting in your best effort to act seriously is different from putting in your best effort to unleash your full potential.

That exhilaration! That excitement! That feeling!

There are no tricks, no fancy moves, just pure brute force.

Every muscle in his body was screaming, every nerve was trembling with excitement.

A real man is all about passionate, head-on confrontations!
Chen Baiyu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "System, where's my reward?!"

It was only for a long time.

The system remained silent.

The surrounding mountains and forests were silent.

Chen Baiyu also subconsciously fell silent.

The burning passion cooled down a bit.

hiss……

No reward yet? Does that mean I haven't completed the task?

Could it be that……

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu vaguely understood that the "facing it head-on" mentioned in the system task was even more exaggerated than bathing under a waterfall like he was now.

In the system's eyes, that's not enough for him.

"Go even higher? Are you serious?"

"Do you really want me to learn the Cloud Dispelling Palm or the Rising Dragon Strike of Mount Lu?"

"Does it have to be a single punch like the Rising Dragon Fist of Mount Lu that knocks the waterfall of Mount Lu backwards?"

He murmured this to himself for a moment.

Chen Baiyu fell silent again.

Even after being slowed down by numerous obstacles at the end of the waterfall, the water continued to cascade down, washing away his mixed emotions of excitement and contemplative turmoil.

Under the violent impact of the waterfall.

He raised his head and gritted his teeth.

"Made!"

"Done!"

With that, he dashed out of the waterfall and back into the Nine Heavens Pool.

As soon as Chen Baiyu left the end of the waterfall, she immediately felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and her breathing became much easier.

Water droplets dripped continuously from his hair and the hem of his clothes, creating ripples on the water's surface at his feet.

But he didn't stop at all. Instead, he raised his head and his sharp gaze swept across the cliffs surrounding the waterfall.

He understood that if he wanted to achieve what the system called a "head-on encounter," he had to find the point where the Xiufeng Waterfall's flow was higher and more powerful.

"It's impossible to climb inside the waterfall; the current is too strong, and there's no foothold."

"I could never climb under that much pressure."

"The only way is to go around the rocky outcrop next to it, find a suitable spot, and then plunge in."

Chen Baiyu narrowed his eyes, analyzing the situation.

His eyes searched carefully along the cliff face, looking for every possible foothold and handhold.

His vision, five times the limit of an average person, has evolved so much that he can clearly see every detail in dim environments: which rocks are stable, and which may just be surface-attached and will fall off with a little force.

A few minutes later, he found a route that seemed feasible.

That was a relatively protruding rock wall on the right side of the waterfall. Although it was also covered with moss, there were several obvious cracks and protrusions on it, enough for him to use as leverage.

Chen Baiyu took a deep breath, pushed off the bottom of the pool with both feet, and shot towards the cliff like an arrow.

As soon as his fingers touched the rock, he felt the slippery texture of the moss.

But this was not a problem for him; with his extraordinary grip strength, he could easily grasp even a protrusion the size of a fingernail.

That's something only so-called rock climbing masters can do.

It was easy for him.

He silently counted each exertion in his mind, his hands and feet coordinating perfectly, like a nimble monkey climbing quickly up the rock face.

No.

To be precise, it's impossible for apes to climb as nimbly as he is. Even the bharal, known for its climbing ability, wouldn't dare underestimate someone like Chen Baiyu.

The waterfall roared not far to his left, and huge sprays of water constantly splashed onto him, wetting his clothes and skin.

But Chen Baiyu was not affected at all, and his attention was highly focused on each grasp and step.

Just a few minutes.

He had already climbed dozens of meters and crossed two gentle slopes.

He was standing on a rock that was tilted at about seventy degrees.

Looking up, one can see a nearly vertical cliff face hundreds of meters high.

The waterfall cascades down from the top with tremendous force.

"This is it."

Chen Baiyu squinted, feeling the power of the water flowing above.

The water flow here didn't have a gentle slope to gradually reduce its force. It was an impact far more violent than what he had just experienced, like the roar of a real dragon.

Chen Baiyu felt she couldn't hold on any longer.

However, I glanced at the "unknown" section of the mission rewards.

And yet, his [Intuition·lv1], which he clearly senses danger and reacts to important decisions, is completely unmoved at this moment.

He simply stopped hesitating.

Take a deep breath.

I adjusted my breathing rhythm and found the best foothold on the slippery rocks.

He gripped the edge of the rock above with both hands, leaned back slightly, and prepared to charge.

"bring it on!"

After gathering his strength for a while, he let out a low roar.

With a sudden burst of strength from his feet, he leaped out and shot towards the waterfall like an arrow released from a bow.

The next moment, he rushed into the waterfall.

A massive torrent of water crashed down on him like a wall of water, its force far exceeding his expectations.

For an instant.

He felt as if he had been struck in the chest with a heavy hammer; his breathing stopped abruptly, and his mind went blank.

The rocks beneath our feet were tilted at such a steep angle that there was almost no foothold.

Although he gripped a protruding rock with both hands the moment he leaped into the waterfall, his knuckles turned white from the excessive force.

But that immense power was still exaggerated.

This moment.

Chen Baiyu gritted her teeth and tried desperately to persevere.

But this force was simply too powerful.

In just two seconds, his arm began to go numb, and the strength in his fingers was rapidly fading.

Then he could no longer hold on, and was swept away by the current.

"Oops!"

This was the only thought in his mind at that moment, besides the excruciating pain from being hit by the water.

But at the same time.

A strange feeling suddenly spread throughout my body.

His blood seemed to be boiling, and a scorching energy rapidly spread from his dantian to his limbs and bones.

The intense heat made him somewhat disoriented.

They didn't even have time to think about the fact that they were about to fall off the cliff.

Just before losing consciousness.

All I heard was a [beep!] sound.

next moment.

His body was first swept down by the violent force of the water flow, tumbled several times in the air, and then crashed heavily against the cliff wall.

Then it was swept away by the current and crashed into another rock.

then.

He was swept away by the water from a height of nearly 100 meters and plunged directly into the Jiutian Pool below.

"boom!"

The enormous impact caused the water surface to explode.

It was as if a depth charge had been dropped on Jiutianchi, with countless water droplets splashing out.

but.

After the initial violent churning, the water began to gradually calm down.

The splashing water traced arcs in the air before falling back into the pool, creating ripples that spread outwards.

The ripples gradually shrank and weakened until they disappeared completely, leaving only a calm surface of water reflecting the night sky and the surrounding mountains.

It was as if the terrifying fall had never happened.

Jiutianchi has returned to its original tranquility, with only the roar of the waterfall still echoing in the valley, reminding people of the power and majesty of this place.

Moonlight filtered through gaps in the clouds, casting a soft, silvery glow on the water's surface and adding a touch of mystery to the area.

a long time.

A figure suddenly stood up from the water.

It disturbed this tranquility.

"Phew... I'm still alive..."

Chen Baiyu let out a long sigh.

His clothes were tattered, and he subconsciously touched himself left and right, but he didn't find any injuries. In fact, they felt more resilient to the touch than before.

He could feel that he didn't feel the slightest bit of falling from a height.

Theoretically speaking.

After falling from that height, an ordinary person would die instantly on the spot, or even he would have his bones shattered and his internal organs churning.

But the clothes were clearly torn and tattered during the fall.

But at this moment, he was far from injured.

There wasn't even the slightest pain.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu lowered her head and looked at her reflection in the water.

At that moment, he was stunned.

The reflection in the water returned to its original form.

But that doesn't matter.

The important thing is.

At this moment, his eyes turned into golden vertical pupils, and tiny scale-like golden patterns faintly appeared near the outer corners of his eyes.

His entire demeanor underwent a subtle change, gaining an indescribable sense of authority and power.

"These are... characteristics of a dragon?"

Chen Baiyu muttered to himself.

He reached out and touched the corner of his eye.

It didn't feel like scales, but the golden patterns were faintly hot.

He had a vague realization.

The system's reward might have turned out like this, probably because he inherited some power from the dragon, and his unharmed state after falling from such a height is definitely related to his current condition.

The burning sensation I felt all over my body at that time was probably because I activated this skill?
He stopped letting his mind wander.

I promptly opened the system panel to check.
