Chapter 981 Treading Water Without a Trace

Chen Fan’s action stunned everyone present.

They were all even more bewildered!

Especially Hong Yuan and his companions. Though their bodies couldn't move, they were still breathing, their expressions etched with shock.

"Is this guy seeking his own death?"

"Has he had enough of living?"

"Damn it…"

"Does he want to die?"

"Why is he running straight for the reservoir!"

"What kind of being is this fellow, human or ghost!"

"Bloody hell, what kind of opponent have we encountered today?"

"This…"

Hong Yuan and the others were filled with dread.

Their hearts remained turbulent for a long time.

Xia Bingqing saw this and her heart lurched. "Chen… Chen Fan, what are you doing?"

"Hurry back!"

"The water is deep ahead, it’s dangerous!"

"You…"

In an instant, her heart leaped to her throat, pounding wildly.

Xia Taishan, however, was more composed. "Xiao Fan’s abilities already surpass ordinary people. Since he dares to take this step, it means the reservoir’s water poses no threat to him. So you don’t need to worry too much!"

"But… Grandpa, I…"

Despite his words, Xia Bingqing remained extremely worried, sighing inwardly, not knowing what to do.

Xia Taishan patted Xia Bingqing’s shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, it'll be fine!"

"I believe in Xiao Fan’s strength!"

"You should believe it too!"

Xia Bingqing hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Mmm… I do, I’ve always believed in his abilities!"

"If that’s the case, then stop worrying!"

"We'll just wait here quietly for him to return!"

Xia Taishan stared in the direction Chen Fan had gone.

Xia Bingqing nodded. "Mmm… okay!"

At this moment, there was less melancholy in Xia Bingqing's eyes.

She let out a long sigh.

By now, Chen Fan had reached the surface of the water, using his Qi to control his body and walk on water. This was something only martial artists with exceptionally strong internal Qi could achieve.

Walking on water without leaving a trace.

Moreover, Chen Fan was now a Grandmaster realm expert, transcending the realm of internal Qi. The aura he released belonged to the first layer of True Qi.

Before long, a small boat appeared within his sight.

This boat was just an ordinary plastic boat from the park.

Though the boat was ordinary, the person standing on it was not.

He was dressed all in black.

Due to the darkness of the night, his face was entirely indistinguishable.

He wore a hooded cloak, appearing quite mysterious.

This mysterious person’s eyes showed a flicker of surprise as he saw Chen Fan walking on water, but it quickly vanished. He said in a deep voice, "Rumor has it that a powerful expert has appeared in Lin City. Seeing you today, the rumors are indeed true!"

"Walking on water without a trace, such potent internal Qi!"

"A Grandmaster?"

Chen Fan stared at the mysterious man before him and said, word by word, "Who are you?"

The man in black looked at Chen Fan and casually smiled. "Don't be nervous. If I were your enemy, I would have attacked you long ago!"

"Instead of releasing information and letting you come here!"

"What do you say?"

His words held some logic, but Chen Fan didn't pay much attention. He casually remarked, "Alright, stop beating around the bush. Reveal your identity directly!"

"Heh heh…" the man in black chuckled. "What an impatient person, much like myself in some ways!"

Chen Fan’s expression remained neutral, too lazy to say more.

His hands were clasped behind his back. From beginning to end, he maintained a ready stance.

It was, after all, a precaution for any unforeseen circumstances.

Chen Fan sensed that the mysterious person before him was undoubtedly an extraordinary expert…
