I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 430 - The Monstrous Water Spirit Constitution

430 The Monstrous Water Spirit Constitution

At the same time, more people joined after hearing the news, turning the live stream even livelier than before.

[Where’s the anaconda? Why can’t I see it? Liars!]

[Damn it, God Ye looks good without his shirt!]

[I came in after seeing the commotion from Weibo. Ahhh, what did I miss?]

[I feel sorry for my Baby Ying. Look at those tear stains on her cheeks and her pale face.]

[Did you guys notice Baby Ying’s gaze? The way she looks at God Ye, it’s like her eyes are almost popping out. That’s it, she’s fallen deep and beyond saving now.]

[A hero rescuing the damsel in distress. If it were me, I would’ve jumped on God Ye on the spot...]

...

Hu Yue’er looked at Ye Lingchen, then asked in a worried tone, “Lingchen, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Ye Lingchen shook his head and laughed. “Today’s lunch is settled. How dare that anaconda attack our Baby Ying. We’ll get back at it by eating it!”

“Hahaha, that’s right. We must eat it!” Some of the program crew broke into laughter, dissipating the tense atmosphere.

Zhao Liangying, Hu Yue’er, and the other female crew members were all pale with the traumatic experience of the anaconda still fresh in their minds.

“God Ye, we’re in your debt. I would like to thank you on behalf of the entire program crew!” The director offered his gratitude sincerely as he walked up to Ye Lingchen’s side. Following that, he faced Ye Lingchen and offered him a formal 90-degree bow.

If not for Ye Lingchen, Zhao Liangying would have most likely met her demise. Moreover, with Zhao Liangying being a celebrity, the ruckus that ensues would definitely be huge. The program would surely come to an end and as the director, he would be roped in and probably have his career ruined.

“It’s my duty,” Ye Lingchen replied nonchalantly.

“Since everyone’s fine, let’s head back,” suggested the director.

That location was traumatic for everyone. Staying there any longer would surely bring out the fear in their hearts. For there to be an anaconda, who knows if there might be a second, or third. It was best to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

Just as everyone was ready to leave, Ye Lingchen stood where he was. His gaze stuck on the pool, seemingly going out of focus.

Right then, the fish in the pool were still swimming around anxiously and the whirlpool had yet to disappear.

“Lingchen, what’s wrong?” Hu Yue’er asked Ye Lingchen.

“I’m going to take a look in the pool.”

“What?!”

Everyone exclaimed in astonishment. They looked at Ye Lingchen, at a loss for words as fear began to show in their eyes.

To them, going into the pool was just courting death.

“God Ye, the pool is very deep. Furthermore, there might be other anacondas too. You mustn’t go!”

“That’s right. Nobody knows what’s inside the pool, not even its depth. You should at least find out more before going!”

He Jia and Huang Lei tried to persuade him, while Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying were holding him from each side, looking at him worriedly.

“My mind is set. Director, please lend me a phone that can stream underwater. I’ll take it down with me. That way you guys can observe my situation via the live stream,” Ye Lingchen requested, leaving them no room for negotiation.

When he killed the anaconda earlier, his popularity points shot up by 250 thousand!

He remembered when he first joined Life’s Struggles, he only had around 30 thousand popularity points. Although his popularity points had been increasing steadily over the past two days of the program, it had only reached 110 thousand. However, just now, his popularity points suddenly shot up to 360 thousand!

That rate his popularity points increased caused him to burn with passion!

‘Cause a stir! The bigger the better!’

Only by causing a commotion would he gain popularity points explosively!

Moreover, he knew in his heart that at the bottom of the pool, Old Tortoise and the giant python are still fighting each other!

To be called a giant python, it must surely be a lot larger than the anaconda.

Such a scene would definitely bring his popularity points to a new height. How could he pass up such an opportunity?

“God Ye, I think we should get some equipment like diving suits ready first before coming here again!” the director persuaded worriedly.

“No need!” Ye Lingchen shook his head. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Furthermore, I’m good with water. I’m just curious. If something is wrong I’ll turn back immediately.

“God Ye, you—” He Jia was just about to continue.

“Save your words. You’ve seen it earlier. The anaconda is of no threat to me. Don’t worry.” Ye Lingchen cut them off firmly.

The director looked at the ratings of his live stream, then finally gritted his teeth. “Fine. I’ll agree to it! However, you must promise me to stay safe!”

He was actually rather selfish too. The popularity of his live stream was only a momentary boost. If he wanted to maintain it, he must film something sensational. He needed to gamble along with Ye Lingchen!

“I disagree!” Zhao Liangying held tightly onto Ye Lingchen and stared at him with her puppy eyes filled with tears, as though it would start flowing at any moment. “I won’t let you go!”

“I disagree too!” Hu Yue’er chimed in. “Lingchen, let’s not play around. There are many more things to do in life. There’s no need to whimsically jump into something dangerous like this. I beg of you.”

Ye Lingchen looked at the two girls, but his eyes were glowing with confidence, smiling at them. “I treasure my life very much, more so than any of you. Since I’ve decided to enter the pool, I have my ways to guarantee my safety!”

Having the system with him, he naturally wanted to avoid death. Also, because of the system, he had the confidence and backing he needed!

Seeing Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er still not giving up, Ye Lingchen continued, “Believe in me!”

Immediately, the two girls could only bite their lips and could not say anything.

Very soon, the director took out a phone and attached it to Ye Lingchen’s shoulder. It could immediately connect to the streaming channel. Whatever Ye Lingchen saw would be displayed in the live stream.

“God Ye, be careful!” Everyone looked at Ye Lingchen, cheering him from the bottom of their hearts.

“Alright, I’m going!” Ye Lingchen looked at them, then jumped straight into the pool.

Jumping in, with his body fully immersed in the pool, Ye Lingchen felt all the cells in his rejoicing. His entire body felt inexplicably relaxed, as though the water was his home all along.

Furthermore, the water around him seemed to have their own emotions and were very friendly to him. Not only did they offer no resistance, they would even assist in his movements. With just one thought, he could swim a great distance.

Most importantly, Ye Lingchen realized that all five of his senses were not affected in the water. He could breathe. Moreover, his vision and awareness were drastically improved!

In fact...when in water, his Qi Refinement was much faster!

‘Water Spirit Constitution. This skill is too monstrous!’

It was as though his entire body had merged with the water around him, allowing him freedom of movement in the water.

Concluding from the novels he had read, this Water Spirit Constitution was most likely one of the special water-related constitutions in the realms of Cultivation, raising his affinity with water and allowing him to have increased effectiveness when training water-related special arts.

Ye Lingchen began to fill in the gaps while his heart rejoiced. The system did not disappoint him!

The edges of the pool were no different from other ordinary pools. However, within just a few steps, the depth of the pool had exceeded one meter. A short distance further, the depth went to two meters!

That situation was weird. It was unlike any naturally formed pool. Instead, it appeared to be a hole that was forcefully dug out by drilling into the ground. It was truly amazing.

When Ye Lingchen arrived at the heart of the pool, the depth seemed to be bottomless...
