With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

But after half an hour, even Xiao Yue began getting suspicious, so Lin Fan had no choice but to get up.

He had actually already recovered most of his spiritual energy a few minutes ago, but he had been pretending to be weak just so that he could remain in Xiao Yue's laps.

Still, he couldn't fool her forever.

So after standing up, Lin Fan pulled the Burst Bear's corpse into the Pet Storage Space.

He was grateful for the fact that he was a cultivator when he did this. If he had been a mortal, it would have been more likely that he would have been crushed by the corpse of the Burst Bear if he had tried to move it.

This Burst Bear was over two meters wide and three meters tall, bigger than even the polar bears that were the largest bears on Earth. It easily weighed over eight hundred pounds, which was the same weight as a monster truck.

It was no easy feat to carry it.

But still, Lin Fan was able to do it with his strength that had been increased by his cultivation.

Once he had thrown the Burst Bear into the Pet Storage Space, he looked up at the sun in the sky.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Fan didn't want to waste the rest of the day by heading back to the city that early, so he asked Xiao Yue, "Do you want to go back to the lake and see if we can find some more spirit beasts?"

Xiao Yue immediately gave a nod.

She hadn't been able to help with the Burst Bear, which made her feel like she had done nothing helpful. If they were able to find some more spirit beasts to subjugate, then she would be able to show her worth.

So after packing everything up, they headed back to the coast.

Once there, they started walking along the coastline, looking for more spirit beasts. At the same time, Lin Fan had also released the Gale Sparrow to see if there were any stronger spirit beasts to look out for.

They headed along the coast for a few minutes, but there really wasn't much for them.

Even the Gale Sparrow wasn't able to find anything when it scouted around.

Looking up at the sun, they decided to have some food first before they continued the hunt since it was close to lunch.

Lin Fan pulled out the blanket and the food from the Pet Storage Space for Xiao Yue to set up. Then he went over to the lake to get some water.

It seemed quite clear, so it should be drinkable. Then again, even if it wasn't they could just boil it with Hi's flames, so it wouldn't be a problem.

When he reached the coast and was about to lean in to grab some of the water, there was a ripple that suddenly appeared on the water.

Lin Fan immediately sensed something in front of him and immediately stood up. He took a step back away from the water and then pulled out his sword as he looked at the lake.

Xiao Yue on the side also felt the spiritual energy that came from the lake. She immediately dropped the food and blanket she was setting up and pulled out her dagger.

She was about to move over to where Lin Fan was, but Lin Fan shouted out, "Don't come over here!"

Xiao Yue's foot froze before she could take a step.

She looked at Lin Fan with a complicated look, but she still stopped in the end. Of course, her dagger was still raised and she was vigilantly looking at the lake.

During this time, the surface of the lake suddenly started to stir.

There were only a few ripples at first, but then the water itself started to bulge as the surface of the lake was broken to form a tiny bump. This bump continued to increase in size until there was an entire ball that came out of the lake.

No, a ball was the wrong way to describe it.

It was more a cylinder that had a round edge up top that came out of the water.

This figure was only the size of a person at first, but slowly it started to grow as more and more water from the surrounding area gathered in this figure. It reached the size of two people, three people, until it was a figure that was over ten meters tall.

The shadow that it cast completely covered Lin Fan and Xiao Yue, so the area around them turned a bit dark. However, when Lin Fan looked closely, he could see something in the center of the figure made of water that seemed like a core, as well as what seemed like a face on the front that seemed like it was looking at him.

This face looked right at Lin Fan before narrowing its eyes.

After the figure had completely formed, there was a silence that filled the air as everyone just stood there, waiting for something to happen.

Finally, after a minute of waiting, there was a booming voice that rang out around them, "Who are you?"

Lin Fan was confused where this voice came from at first, but then he realized that it was the figure of the water figure. So after narrowing his eyes to look at the water figure for a bit, he replied, "Shouldn't I be asking that same question?"

The booming voice rang out again, but there was no answer to Lin Fan's question. Instead, the booming voice said, "Why do you have this aura around you? Where did it come from?"

Both Lin Fan and Xiao Yue were completely confused by what this figure made of water was saying.

As far as they could tell, there wasn't any strange aura around Lin Fan like the figure of water was implying there was. So why was it saying that Lin Fan had a strange aura?

Lin Fan just asked, "What do you mean? What aura?"

The figure of water didn't reply to Lin Fan's question as it continued looking over Lin Fan's body. After another long period of silence, the booming voice finally said, "You are a threat. The only choice now is to eliminate you before you can become dangerous to me."

Then without another word, the figure of water raised a giant arm made of water and slammed it down at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan saw this and immediately jumped back while also shooting out several icicles at the figure of water.

The figure of water itself didn't do anything against these icicles, instead there were several tentacles of water that came out of the lake that slapped out at the icicles, smashing them to pieces. But at the same time, the water tentacles that were hit with the icicles were all frozen before crumpling away.

The figure of water didn't care about this as it formed more tentacles out of itself that it continued to swing in Lin Fan's direction.

The tentacles weren't that fast, so Lin Fan was able to dodge them, but seeing the craters that they left on the ground, Lin Fan could see how much power was behind them.

Even if he was stronger than before, he still wasn't able to take that many of these hits.

But the one good thing was that even if it was strong, that didn't mean anything if it couldn't hit Lin Fan.

Eventually, the figure of water got tired of missing Lin Fan with all of its attacks as it roared out, "You little fly! Keep dodging if you have the skills!"

But it didn't keep using the same attack since it had lost all of its patience. Instead, it gathered all the water tentacles that it had formed from its body and the lake around it to attack one single point.

However, this attack came from every direction, so there was very little space to dodge.

The strange thing though was that Lin Fan had stopped moving, as if he had given up on dodging. He had even lowered his sword, making it seem like he had given up on fighting back.

The figure of water was surprised when it saw this, but then it gave an arrogant laugh as it said, "It seems like you've finally learned your lesson and given up! Good, accept your death!"

The tentacles of water came closer and closer, but right before they were about to hit Lin Fan, he suddenly started moving up.

It wasn't that he had jumped up, but rather there was something that appeared under his feet at the last second.

It was a wall of ice that had suddenly started forming from right under his feet, pushing him several meters into the air. However, that wasn't the most important thing.

When the water tentacles hit the ice wall, they were immediately absorbed by the ice wall before being shot back out at the source of the water tentacles, the figure of water.

But this time, the tentacles of water had turned into tentacles of ice.

The figure of water was shocked by this and quickly condensed more tentacles of water to negate these tentacles of ice, but it wasn't able to generate these tentacles fast enough.

The tentacles of ice slashed through the figure of water, cutting it down to pieces that dropped into the lake.

But when it seemed like everything was over, the lake started to stir again.

Before long, the figure of water had reformed and towered over Lin Fan once again.
