It has been seven days since the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony was held.

At the coming-of-age ceremony, Xiao Yan appeared as an eighth-level fighting spirit, which really slapped many people in the face.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of news that the Xiao family was about to rise spread inadvertently and everyone in Wutan City knew about it.

For a person who performs five levels of Dou Qi in a short period of time, you can imagine how bright his future will be.

If Xiao Yan is allowed to develop, he will definitely become a powerful Dou Huang within ten years.

You know, there are only a handful of two or three warriors at the Douhuang level in the entire Gamma Empire.

And each one of them possesses the power to defeat thousands of people.

As long as Xiao Yan becomes a powerful fighting emperor, the Xiao family's status will immediately rise accordingly. By then, it will not be impossible to rank among the three major families in the Gamma Empire.

Therefore, after everyone knew about Xiao Yan's talent, they all felt extremely envious of the Xiao family.

In the past few days, the threshold of the Xiao family has been crossed. Even the Jialie family, which had previously been at odds with the Xiao family, did not dare to act rashly at this time.

In the past few days, Lin Fan was still training in the Warcraft Mountains.

Although he had no personal experience with these things that happened in Wutan City, he had already made pretty good guesses.

In a river in the Warcraft Mountains, Lin Fan suddenly emerged from the bottom of the river, taking a big gulp of fresh air.

After a while, Lin Fan floated lazily in the middle of the river, feeling the changes in his body over the past few days.

After a few days, through the continuous refining of the corpse fire, although the soul power has not increased or decreased, the strength of the body has become several times stronger than before.

Lin Fan could clearly feel the changes in every muscle in his body, as if he had endless strength.

"The enhancement of the physical body is only an auxiliary. More importantly, we still have to find ways to increase the soul power."

After floating in the river and resting for a while, Lin Fan swam toward the shore.

Suddenly, a water wave more than one meter high suddenly arose on a water surface not far ahead and hit Lin Fan.

"Why are there waves in the river?"

Lin Fan was slightly frightened and pierced towards the side, dodging the oncoming waves of water.

But just after getting out of the water, another wave of water bigger than before hit me.

Just as Lin Fan was about to avoid the waves, he suddenly felt like something was wrapped around his ankle, and a huge pulling force came from under the water.

Unprepared, Lin Fan was instantly pulled into the water and choked several times.

In a hurry, Lin Fan's feet kicked wildly.

However, in the water, his physical strength was greatly weakened. After several struggles, the huge force not only showed no sign of weakening, but became even more fierce.

Under this huge force, Lin Fan was dragged straight to the bottom of the water.

I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't even open my eyes in the turbid river water.

Lin Fan twisted his body violently, trying to get rid of the thing wrapped around his feet, but it had no effect at all. The thing wrapped around his ankle even began to drag Lin Fan around in the water.

Not only that, the violent twisting caused the oxygen in Lin Fan's lungs to be quickly consumed, and his heartbeat also accelerated.

"We can't go on like this, or we will drown here."

In desperation, Lin Fan grabbed his feet with both hands.

What I got were handfuls of slippery stuff, which looked like waterweed, but it didn’t look like it!

Not daring to hesitate, Lin Fan used all his strength to pull the thing wrapped around his ankle, trying to break free.

But the thing was extremely strong, and even after several hard pulls, it couldn't be broken.

The deeper you go into the water, the greater the pressure in the water, and the strength Lin Fan can exert becomes less and less.

"You can only use the corpse fire!"

Heartbroken, Lin Fan stabilized his mind. Suddenly, a white light seeped out from Lin Fan's palm, covering it.

Immediately afterwards, the thing wrapped around Lin Fan's ankle seemed to be frightened. It paused for a moment, and the huge force pulling Lin Fan weakened a lot.

The pressure was greatly reduced, and Lin Fan suddenly rose up and rushed towards the water surface.

"It's really unlucky that something like this can happen even while taking a shower."

After jumping out of the water and taking a few gulps of fresh air, Lin Fan didn't dare to stay any longer and swam towards the shore.

With the experience from the previous time, Lin Fan undoubtedly had to be more careful this time, and his eyes kept glancing around.

Sure enough, not long after, another huge wave over one meter high hit us.

With the help of the forward momentum, Lin Fan avoided the waves, flipped over, jumped two meters forward, and continued to swim towards the river bank.

Although he didn't know what was causing the trouble, Lin Fan knew that he couldn't fight it in the water.

Because Lin Fan couldn't exert his full strength in the water, if it hadn't been for the corpse fire before, he might have been in danger.

Fortunately, the river was not very wide. By the time he escaped the third wave, Lin Fan was able to stand in the river without being submerged.

"What on earth is it, a monster?"

Turning around and looking at the water, Lin Fan carefully walked back.

"It must not be aquatic plants. Aquatic plants will not be that tough, and they will not actively attack."

Staring at the water without blinking, Lin Fan was getting closer and closer to the river bank.

However, since Lin Fan was able to walk upright, the chasing monster behind him seemed to have disappeared, and even the raging waves no longer stirred up.

"Did it retreat? Or..."

Just when Lin Fan thought the monster attacking him had retreated, he caught a glimpse of a black thing floating along the current.

At the same time, a thin layer of black mist rose from the originally calm water surface.

Holding his breath, Lin Fan stared closely at the floating thing.

"Is it the one that haunts me?"

When the thing got closer, Lin Fan was horrified to find that it was not a weed, but a ball of hair!

He raised his finger slightly, and a gray-black finger light shot out from Lin Fan's fingertips.

"Pfft~"

The finger made a soft sound and submerged into the water!

The floating hair only moved slightly and had no other reaction.

"Isn't that it?"

Lin Fan was bold enough to step forward and pull up the clump of hair to see what was going on, when a wave suddenly hit him.

After dodging the waves, Lin Fan looked at the ball of hair again, only to find that it was gone.

"Disappeared!"

I glanced around, but still couldn't find any trace of that ball of hair.

"What the hell is that!"

Staring at the place where the hair disappeared, Lin Fan's mind was filled with questions and he began to feel nervous.

Suddenly, the water surface ten meters away began to roll again.

Bubbles kept popping up from the bottom of the water, like boiling water.
