A bed that traverses countless worlds

Chapter 41: A Trial on the Frozen Lake, Breaking the Stalemate with a Counter-Strategy

The biting wind lashed across Lin Yu's face like a knife, making him shiver involuntarily.

"Hiss... This place is even colder than the winters back home!" he complained, maneuvering the bed slowly closer to the icy lake.

The lake was covered with a thick layer of ice, and a blue light shone through the ice, as if it were hiding some secret.

The eerie atmosphere made Lin Yu more vigilant.

"Welcome to the icy lake, brave warrior." A gentle voice rang in Lin Yu's ears.

A translucent water sprite appeared before him, graceful and elegant, as if sculpted from ice and snow.

"You need to find the Water Pearl at the bottom of the lake to pass the trial," the water sprite said, pointing to the frozen lake surface with a smile.

"That's it?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, feeling that the task seemed too simple.

"Of course, it's not that easy." The water sprite smiled slyly. "There are many beads at the bottom of the lake that look similar to the Water Pearl. You need to distinguish them carefully."

Lin Yu controlled the bed to slowly descend into the lake.

The icy lake water sent another chill down his spine. The lakebed was dark and gloomy, with all sorts of strangely shaped beads scattered on it, shimmering with a mesmerizing light.

"Is this water sprite playing a matching game?" Lin Yu complained, and began to examine the beads carefully.

However, the water sprite was not idle. It kept manipulating the water flow to interfere with Lin Yu's vision, making the already difficult task even more complicated.

"Little elf, you can't take a joke, can you?" Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.

The water sprite just chuckled and continued to tease him with its water flow.

Time ticked by, and Lin Yu grew increasingly agitated. Where on earth was this Water Pearl?

Suddenly, he noticed a bead that remained perfectly still despite the disturbance of the water flow, emitting a faint blue light.

"Could it be..." Lin Yu manipulated the bed to move closer to the bead.

"Found it!" Su Yao's excited voice came from beside the bed.

“Don’t rush,” Lin Yu shook his head, his gaze falling on another bead churning in the water. “I think… this one is more suspicious…” He reached out his hand…

Lin Yu didn't touch the unmoving bead. Instead, he suddenly slammed the bed into the nearby ice. With a "crack," a crack appeared in the thick ice.

"What are you doing?!" Su Yao exclaimed, not understanding why Lin Yu would do such a thing.

The water sprite was also stunned. It originally thought that Lin Yu would be like the other trial participants, completely fooled by it, but it didn't expect him to do something like this.

"Fish! Fish! Fish!" Lin Yu chuckled, maneuvering the bed to continue slamming against the ice.

With a loud "boom," large sections of ice shattered, and the lake water surged out, churning the beads at the bottom of the lake.

"What the hell! Old Lin, what are you doing? Isn't this obviously making it harder?" Even Kong Yang, who was far away outside the training ground, couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead when he saw this scene through the system broadcast.

Master Liu scoffed, "Overestimating himself! Just trying to attract attention!"

The water sprite stomped its feet in anger: "You rascal, you don't play by the rules!" The once calm lakebed was now in chaos, with beads drifting everywhere in the churning water, making them even harder to distinguish.

But Lin Yu closed his eyes and felt the flow of water elements around him.

"Don't rush, let me feel it..." A confident smile appeared on his lips.

To outsiders, this was simply insane. How could one possibly find the Water Pearl in such a chaotic environment?

However, Lin Yu was different.

He was extremely at ease with his bed and his perception of his surroundings far exceeded that of ordinary people.

As the water flowed, he sensed a faint difference; a pure water elemental force was emanating from a bead.

"That's it!" Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes and maneuvered the bed toward the bead.

He grabbed the bead, and a cool sensation instantly spread throughout his body.

"It's done?" Su Yao asked in surprise.

The water sprite stared at Lin Yu in disbelief, never expecting that Lin Yu could find the Water Pearl in this way.

The churning lake water gradually calmed down, and the ice began to refreeze, as if cheering for Lin Yu's success.

"Congratulations, brave warrior, you have passed the trial." The water sprite's voice carried a hint of helplessness, but was also full of admiration.

Lin Yu held the Water Pearl, feeling the powerful energy it contained, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Yaoyao…” He reached out his hand…

Seeing that Lin Yu had successfully obtained the Water Pearl, Su Yao excitedly rushed into his arms.

"Brother Yu, you're amazing!" At the bottom of the icy lake, the two embraced each other for warmth. This display of affection caught everyone off guard, and even the water sprite next to them couldn't help but roll its eyes.

Outside the training ground, Kong Yang jumped up excitedly, waving his fist and shouting, "Awesome! Old Lin, I knew you could do it!" In contrast, Master Liu's face turned green, as if he had swallowed a fly.

He had originally been waiting to see Lin Yu make a fool of himself and was ready to mock him, but now he could only watch helplessly as Lin Yu successfully showed off. The feeling was indescribably bitter.

Lin Yu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity to humiliate Master Liu slip by. He gave Master Liu a meaningful smile, his expression seemingly saying, "That's it? That's it?"

"Fire element trial? A piece of cake; water element trial? A piece of cake! Next, let me see what this wind element trial is all about!" Lin Yu manipulated the bed to slowly rise and leave the icy lake.

"Congratulations, brave warrior, you have successfully passed the water elemental trial." The water sprite's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of resentment.

"Next, you will face an even more severe test—the Trial of the Wind Element."

"A wind elemental trial?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Sounds pretty exciting!"

The system notification sounded at the right time: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the water element trial and receiving the reward: increased water element affinity and the skill 'Water Guardian'. Next, please go to the Eye of the Storm to accept the wind element trial."

"Eye of the Storm..." Lin Yu murmured to himself, maneuvering the bed to fly towards the Eye of the Storm.

Su Yao held Lin Yu's hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

She knew that the challenges ahead would be even more dangerous.

The eye of the storm in the distance, like a giant eye, slowly rotates between heaven and earth, exuding a chilling aura.

The wind howled, and dark clouds gathered, as if foreshadowing an impending storm...

Lin Yu took a deep breath and manipulated the bed to move forward faster.

"Yaoyao, hold on tight!" he said in a deep voice...
