Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 95 Xiufeng Waterfall? No, it's the Cliff of Fallen Dragons!

what?
Did I really slay a dragon in your eyes?
Chen Baiyu pondered and realized that this was a good thing.

The system acknowledged that he was the one who slew the dragon and assigned him to finish the job and fulfill his destiny as a dragon slayer.

This conclusion basically validates my job change quest, and is largely based on Eldrin's experiences and performance in the storyline.

Based on his understanding of the character and plot of Eldrin, aside from having taught the strongest human in the future during his seclusion, his life experiences are already quite legendary.

He once fought a massive, ancient behemoth for seven days and seven nights on the northern ice plains, a battle that cost him most of his left eye. Later, deep within the ice plains, people discovered a perpetually frozen lake, in the center of which stood the behemoth's skeleton, like a silent monument.

In the sacred elven forests of the south, he once quelled a century-long feud between elves and humans with a melodious tune, a melody still passed down by bards to this day.

[What's most talked about is his solo journey into the abyss to retrieve the stolen "Crown of the Morning Star" from the Demon Lord. On that occasion, he was nearly consumed by the power of chaos and almost vanished into the black tide of the abyss.]

【…】

If we rate it based on Eldrin's life experiences as his epic adventure, it's naturally impossible for it to be too low.

After all, he was just a novice who had just started out.

It is absolutely impossible to achieve an adventure that can truly be called an epic.

only……

Chen Baiyu didn't have time to imagine what kind of reward he might get; he just stared at the task that popped up and fell silent.

It's one thing for Xiufeng to be regarded as the Cliff of Fallen Dragons by the system.

but.

Why should waterfalls be seen as the endless flow of blood from a dead dragon?
Let's not even talk about whose dragon, suffering from old age, is so good at spewing nonsense.

Can I really withstand this waterfall that keeps cascading down?
While thinking.

Chen Baiyu swallowed hard as he looked at the waterfall in the distance.

Looking into the distance.

He could even faintly hear the sound of water splashing on the ground, which seemed to be something no normal human could withstand.

Do we really have to confront this kind of thing head-on?
Hajiton, you really think highly of me.

That's the Xiufeng Waterfall in Lushan.

That's the waterfall that plunges three thousand feet, as described by Li Bai.

Although it's usually just a trickle during the off-season, it just rained today.

In a daze, a scene from the 86 TV series Journey to the West flashed through Chen Baiyu's mind:
[You should eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples!]

[Ah? Me?]

It even flashed through my mind about my possible fate.

Was he smashed into mincemeat and died?

Oh no!

I reckon even if I were smashed into a pulp, I probably wouldn't die immediately.

It should last at least another ten seconds.

After all, once I level up to level five, a simple prototype of my primordial spirit will be born. At that time, the primordial spirit, which will be without a physical body, will probably be able to hold on for a while.

However, the ending is still the same in the end.
What was once an almost imperceptible breeze was like a raging storm to him in his nascent soul form, causing him to experience the extreme pain of being skinned alive and slowly tortured.

They couldn't even last half a second before rushing back to their physical bodies.

Can be imagined.

Once the physical body is truly smashed into a pulp, the nascent primordial spirit will likely not last long in the material world before being forcibly annihilated and dissipated.

However, even though I was thinking about such a terrifying ending.

Chen Baiyu, however, had already taken a step.

Walking back to the guesthouse wasn't to abandon the mission and go back to sleep, but to leave my phone, ID, and other personal belongings in the room.

They then avoided the crowd, who were mostly drunk, and the surveillance cameras, heading towards the Xiufeng Waterfall, which stretched far into the distance.

Despite his many thoughts, he couldn't help but want to go there the moment the mission appeared.

The streets were wet and clean after the rain, and the stone pavement reflected the soft light of the streetlights, like a polished black ribbon winding forward.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth, mixed with the faint fragrance of green leaves washed by rain.

In some deserted corner.

Chen Baiyu used the power of the Thousand Illusion Mask to transform into a completely new persona.

The originally sharp lines have become softer, and the facial features, muscles, and even the deep skeletal structure have begun to be subtly adjusted and recombined.

His skin tone changed from a healthy wheat color to a slightly pale, cool color, like a scholar who has never seen the sun.

A small scar appeared at the corner of his left eye, and his short, jet-black hair was replaced by shoulder-length hair. His physique became more slender and upright, and the originally firm and smooth muscle lines were covered by a layer of just the right amount of symmetry.

The original casual T-shirts and trousers have disappeared, replaced by long-collared shirts and shorts.

then.

With this completely new look, Chen Baiyu walked towards Xiufeng Waterfall while repeatedly weighing the options in her mind.

This mission sounds like sending him to his death.

But since he acquired the system, he has never missed a single task.

Although the missions are triggered very frequently, he still cannot fully control or master the triggering patterns, so he doesn't want to give up on any of them.

"At least we should go and see for ourselves."

"Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you judge whether it can be done."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace.

At 11 p.m., Xiufeng Scenic Area should still have a few scattered visitors, after all, it is said to be one of the most poetic waterfalls in China.

Even though it is part of the Lushan Scenic Area but is listed separately for admission, it still attracts a steady stream of visitors every year.

But tonight is different.

Due to safety concerns such as slippery mountain roads, nighttime visits are prohibited during rainy periods.

So when Chen Baiyu arrived near the scenic area, it was deserted, so there was no need to worry about it being as bustling as the Badaling Great Wall at night.

After looking around, he did not go through the main entrance.

The cameras there have virtually no blind spots, and even though he used Qianhuan to change his appearance, he still habitually didn't want to be caught on camera.

He randomly went to a secluded wall, jumped from a standstill, grabbed the top of the wall with one hand, and did a somersault, easily crossing the now-closed scenic area.

Inside the scenic area.

He had a clear goal: Xiufeng Waterfall.

He paid no attention to the small attractions along the way, such as Longtan and Xiufeng Temple.

Although the line "Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely gaze at the southern mountains" is sometimes interpreted as referring to the southern end of Mount Lu, and while the beauty of Mount Lu lies in its southern part, the beauty of the southern part lies in its beautiful peaks.

However, Chen Baiyu had neither the mood nor the inclination to care about the cultural and natural landscapes along the way.

He didn't even take the man-made mountain road that leads to various scenic spots, but instead quickly traversed through the mountains and forests.

What would take an ordinary person an hour or two to travel on a man-made road would take Chen Baiyu, who was in a hurry, very little time.

Even when he was traveling through the mountains and forests, it was the same.

He moved like a gust of wind, traversing the slippery mountain path after the rain with ease.

His physique, five times the human limit, allows him to unleash astonishing power with every push of his feet.

The whole person could be launched out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

The tree branch in front of him became his leverage point. Chen Baiyu grabbed it, and with a little force in his arm, his body swung several meters, landing steadily on another thick branch.

With a light touch of the toes, he leaped up again.

Like a monkey leaping through the forest, yet lighter and swifter than any other monkey.

Even steep slopes can be easily traversed.

His feet moved swiftly across the slippery rocks, each step landing precisely on the most stable spot. Even with a near-vertical rock face beneath his feet, he could climb to the top in just a few steps and continue onward as if walking on flat ground.

Chen Baiyu's eyes gleamed in the darkness.

His observational skills allow him to capture every detail of his surroundings in an instant, including but not limited to which branch is strong enough to support the weight, which rock is loosely anchored, and which route is the most energy-efficient and fastest...

With a reaction speed five times faster than the average person, he can immediately make the best response when encountering emergencies.

that's it.

In this deserted mountain forest, where he could freely express his true nature without any cover, he gradually got a little carried away and started running.

Sometimes he would run horizontally along the hillside, his toes slicing rapidly across the sloping ground; other times he would leap directly from a cliff several meters high, tumbling in the air before landing firmly on his feet without even bending his knees.

Every movement was precise and fluid.

There is absolutely nothing superfluous.

Even the world's top parkour experts could not achieve such incredible speed and stability on such terrain.

But he just can.

Chen Baiyu's breathing was steady and deep, without any sign of becoming rapid due to the high-speed movement.

His body was like a perfect machine, with every part operating efficiently.

His five times greater physique not only brought him strength and speed, but also made his endurance and recovery ability far exceed those of ordinary people.

The wind whistled through the woods, carrying the fresh scent of rain. Chen Baiyu's figure darted among the shadows of the trees, the occasional glimpses of moonlight outlining his agile silhouette.

The roar of the distant waterfall grew clearer, as if beckoning the challenger.

"Coming."

Chen Baiyu murmured to himself.

There's no need to deliberately search for directions, because the roaring sound of the waterfall is the best guide.

He quickened his pace, leaving a trail of afterimages in the woods. Each leap was more decisive, each landing lighter.

Finally, we passed through the last dense forest.

He then arrived at the rocks near Jiutianchi.

This is the first pool at the foot of the waterfall.

Looking down.

You can see the waterfall water flowing down three gentle slopes and converging at Jiutianchi.

Look up.

His excellent night vision allowed him to see very clearly.

The Xiufeng Waterfall in Lushan Mountain cascades down a nearly 100-meter-high vertical cliff from the top, resembling a silver dragon pouring down from the sky.

Then the cliff face becomes less vertical, forcing the water at the end of the waterfall to flow down a gentle slope, thus mitigating the impact.

However, the water flow at the bottom of the waterfall is still quite large after passing through several gentle slopes.

The waterfall's water volume is particularly abundant due to the rain.

The rushing water roared and crashed against the rocks of Jiutianchi, creating huge splashes and bursts of mist.

Standing nearby for a short time, you can feel as if you are about to be soaked by the water mist.

I looked at it for a while.

Without hesitation, Chen Baiyu found a spot that wasn't too steep and rushed down, jumping directly into the pool in front of him.

The water in the pool is not deep in most places.

Chen Baiyu stood in the waist-deep pool, but did not receive any feedback from the system. He tried squatting down and submerging himself completely in the water, but still received no response.

But this water is still just water. The system doesn't seem to recognize it as dragon blood, even though it's water that has flowed down from the waterfall and gathered together.

It's probably because... this still won't work.

According to the system, Xiufeng Waterfall is no longer a simple waterfall, but rather the waterfall formed from the blood of a giant dragon that was nailed to the mountaintop by a great sword.

Theoretically speaking.

He needs to bathe in dragon blood to complete his mission, and standing in the Nine Heavens Pool right now should already be bathing in dragon blood.

but……

not enough!
The system's requirement to "face the challenge head-on" clearly doesn't mean simply standing in the pool.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu looked up at the waterfall in front of her.

Even though it still sounds impressive, the waterfall doesn't look too rapid after the gradual slopes at its end.

Perhaps... it might work?
There was a moment of silence.

He resolutely continued to approach the end of the waterfall.

Chen Baiyu moved forward step by step in the pool, the water flowing under his feet hitting his calves with a cool touch.

As he approached the end of the waterfall, he could clearly feel the force of the turbulent water increasing, and the resistance in his waist and abdomen becoming greater.

This power might be hard for ordinary people to resist, but for Chen Baiyu, who possesses a physique five times stronger than the human limit.

It felt like someone was gently pushing his waist; he could feel it, but it wasn't enough to make him waver.

He continued to move forward steadily.

A large amount of water splashed on my face, icy cold and sharp, and my vision began to blur.

When you are still five or six meters away from the end of the waterfall, the broken water droplets hitting the rocks already have enough force.

A hit to the face would definitely cause a noticeable pain to an ordinary person.

Chen Baiyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This power, this feeling, made him feel as if he were actually witnessing the "dragon blood gushing forth" described in the system. Although his reason told him it was just a waterfall, every cell in his body was suddenly excited by this challenge.

Speaking of which...

Since acquiring the system, I have never truly encountered an opponent, nor have I been able to fully unleash my energy.

Because he has no rivals left.

Once you acquire the system, you are destined to be invincible.

But what if the opponent is not human beings, but nature itself?

He stopped in his tracks, lost in thought.

Take a deep breath and mobilize all your strength.

Five times the physical strength brings not only power and speed, but also precise control over every muscle in the body.

He tensed his core muscles, firmly planted his feet on the rocks at the bottom of the pool, and then slightly raised his hands, ready to receive the impact.

"bring it on!"

With a low growl, Chen Baiyu charged forward.
