368: The boss's confidence is no joke.

Yang Mi pulled on Ye Bai with some worry. "Ye Bai, are you really going down there? This water ghost looks very dangerous."

Ye Bai glanced at her. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You guys wait on the shore and don't run around." After saying that, he leaped into the river.

The viewers in the Live Stream Room began to discuss fervently:

"This Ye Bai is way too arrogant. Does he really think he can deal with a water ghost?"

"I think he's just putting on a brave face. He'll definitely be dragged underwater by the water ghost in a moment."

"Mi Mi and Ziyi should stay away from him so they don't get dragged into it."

Ye Bai dove into the water and swam toward the dark shadow.

The dark shadow seemed to sense his approach and suddenly turned around, charging at Ye Bai. Ye Bai brandished his golden staff and engaged in a struggle with the shadow in the water.

The water ghost possessed great strength, and its claws were incredibly sharp, nearly catching Ye Bai several times. However, Ye Bai was agile, skillfully dodging the attacks and finding the right moments to strike the water ghost with his golden staff.

On the shore, Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi watched the river surface tensely. Yang Mi gripped her peach wood sword tightly, ready to support Ye Bai at any moment.

"Can Ye Bai do it? This water ghost looks so fierce," Meng Ziyi said worriedly.

"Ye Bai can definitely do it, he's so powerful." Although Yang Mi said this, she was also extremely nervous inside.

Just when the viewers thought Ye Bai was about to suffer a loss, Ye Bai suddenly exerted his power.

The golden staff in his hand glowed with a golden light as he smashed it ruthlessly onto the water ghost's head.

The water ghost let out a shrill scream, its body began to turn illusory, and it finally vanished into the water.

Ye Bai surfaced and returned to the shore. He cast a cold glance in the direction of the live stream, as if he could see the viewers who were mocking him.

"Hmph, I said it before, the water ghost is nothing to fear." Ye Bai shook the water droplets from his hair.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi excitedly surrounded him. "Ye Bai, you were amazing!"

The Live Stream Room suddenly went quiet. The viewers who had been mocking Ye Bai earlier felt a bit awkward.

"Uh... maybe this water ghost was just relatively weak," one viewer said.

"Exactly, maybe there are even more powerful ones coming later," another viewer chimed in.

Ye Bai ignored them and continued walking along the riverbank with Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi. After a while, they noticed some strange symbols appearing by the river. These symbols were carved into the rocks and emitted a faint, eerie glow.

"What do these symbols mean?" Meng Ziyi asked curiously.

Ye Bai observed them carefully. "These are ancient sealing runes. It seems something was once sealed here."

"A seal? Could there be danger?" Yang Mi asked nervously.

"Regardless of whether there's danger, we must be careful." Ye Bai looked around vigilantly.

Just then, they heard a low roar, as if coming from underground. The ground began to vibrate slightly, and huge splashes erupted on the river's surface.

"Not good, something is coming out!" Ye Bai shouted.

The Live Stream Room instantly boiled over, and the bullet comments rolled frantically like a surging tide, nearly drowning the entire screen.

"Oh my god, what's happening now? This show is too intense, it feels like I'm watching a blockbuster!"

"Just finished off the water ghost and now there's new trouble. This is going to give someone a heart attack!"

The audience's emotions were pushed to the peak. Some clenched their fists in tension, while others stared unblinkingly at the screen, afraid to miss a single detail.

"The Production Team is really stirring things up! But these special effects are too realistic—the ground shaking and the water splashing look just like the real thing," a viewer commented in the bullet comments.

"These aren't special effects. You can tell by the expressions on Ye Bai and the others' faces—this is for real! I hope they'll all be safe," an old fan immediately replied.

As the roaring grew louder, the splashes rising from the river were like a tsunami, sweeping toward the shore.

Within those massive splashes, a huge dark shadow could be seen vaguely swaying.

"Mi Mi, Ziyi, hurry and hide behind that big rock! I'll hold the line here," Ye Bai shouted while gripping his golden staff, standing ready for the challenge.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi didn't hesitate for a moment and ran toward the nearby boulder. As she ran, Yang Mi shouted to the camera, "Everyone don't worry, we'll be fine." Although there was fear in her eyes, there was even more determination.

"Go Mi Mi! You must protect yourself!"

Viewers one after another cheered them on in the bullet comments.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi hid behind the giant rock, while Ye Bai stood his ground with a solemn expression.

His gaze was locked onto the incoming giant wave, watching as it rushed toward him with the power to destroy everything.

He raised the golden staff in his hand, leaped high into the air, and smashed down toward the giant wave!

The waves towered and churned up!

When Ye Bai's golden staff struck the water's surface, it exploded with dazzling sparks.

His toes lightly tapped the water's surface as he leaped again, soaring through the air. He jumped high once more, and the golden staff in his hand cleaved down again, shattering the incoming giant wave!

The wave turned into a downpour of droplets, and the river surface returned to calm.

By this time, Ye Bai had already slowly descended from the air. As he landed, his right leg traced an arc in the air, his left knee bent, and with legs crossed, he stood steadily on the shore.

"Wow, Ye Bai is so cool!" Meng Ziyi couldn't help but cheer aloud.

Ye Bai turned to look at the live stream, and the audience's reaction was also very enthusiastic.

"6666."

"Streamer, you're a beast!"

"These special effects are practically textbook-level!"

"As expected of my idol, his strength is indeed extraordinary."

Just then, Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi stepped out from behind the giant rock and saw Ye Bai standing on the shore; both were filled with pleasant surprise.

"Ye Bai, thank you so much! What happened to that water ghost just now?" Yang Mi asked with concern.

"It's already been dealt with," Ye Bai said with a smile.

"That's good. It was so scary just now. I almost thought I was going to die here today," Meng Ziyi said.

"No need to be afraid. As long as I'm here, I will never allow these evil spirits to harm you," Ye Bai said seriously.

Meng Ziyi's cheeks flushed as she stole a glance at him.

Yang Mi cleared her throat. "Ye Bai, thank you for saving me just now. I don't even know how to repay you yet."

"It's nothing, just a small effort. Let's leave this place quickly," Ye Bai urged.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi nodded quickly, and the three of them continued walking toward the other side of the river.

A roar suddenly came from behind them.

The three stopped in their tracks and turned to look, only to see that water ghost had actually crawled onto the shore, snarling at them.

Its appearance was hideous and terrifying, its body covered in bulging veins, and a gloomy, icy killing intent spread out.

"Ah!" Meng Ziyi couldn't help but scream, hiding behind Yang Mi.

Yang Mi gritted her teeth, pulling Meng Ziyi as she said with a trembling voice, "Don't be afraid, Ye Bai definitely won't let this water ghost get near us."
