BANG!
Chen Tianci kicked out violently with his right foot, sending a broken log by the lake flying.
His figure then shot into the air. Though he moved second, he landed first on that very log, skimming across the lake's surface like an arrow as he sped toward the center...
'An illusion. It must be an illusion! I already checked a ten-li radius and there wasn't a soul in sight. It's impossible for someone to have hidden behind me and made a move! Besides, an Exotic Treasure like the Water Spirit Pearl can't be collected without a special Magical Artifact!'
Chen Tianci gritted his teeth like a wild beast. After this sudden burst of fury, his once honest and good-natured demeanor vanished completely, leaving only a crazed expression...
SPLASH!
As soon as he reached the center of the lake, Chen Tianci dove headfirst into the water.
