Chapter 898 The Water Challenge Begins

"The glow of the moon and dew is so beautiful!" Zhang Meng exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He stared at the lake intently, looking forward to the upcoming water challenge.

"Don't just look at the scenery, the challenge is about to begin." Qin Feng reminded him, "Are you ready to face the test in the water?"

"Of course! I don't want to miss any opportunity to show myself!" Zhang Meng patted his chest excitedly, his face full of confidence.

The village chief smiled and said, "Then let's start the water challenge. Remember, stay calm and follow the guidance of the water."

"Guidance of water? What does this mean?" Zhang Meng asked curiously.

"This means that you need to communicate with the creatures in the water and accept their tests," the village chief explained.

"Communication? I don't know much about aquatic creatures." Zhang Meng hesitated.

"Don't worry, you have me!" Qin Feng patted his shoulder, "I'll be there to assist you."

"Okay, let's start!" Zhang Meng finally made up his mind.

Following the village chief's gesture, moonlight sprinkled on the water, and the lake began to ripple slightly, as if responding to their arrival.

"Come on, candidates for the Water God, show your courage to the Water God!" the village chief shouted loudly.

"I'm ready!" Zhang Meng responded loudly, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"God of Water, please give me guidance!" He shouted loudly, and his voice echoed on the lake.

The lake rippled as if in response to his call. Suddenly, a bubble appeared on the surface of the water, and then several glittering fish swam out.

"Look! The creatures in the water appear!" Qin Feng shouted in surprise.

Zhang Meng's heartbeat quickened. The fish in front of him seemed to have a mysterious glow. They swam around Zhang Meng as if performing an underwater dance.

"Hello, water fish! I am a candidate for the Water God and want to pass the water challenge!" Zhang Meng tried hard to make himself look confident.

The water fish swam gently in the water, as if considering his request. After a while, the leading water fish said in a clear voice: "Human, accept our test, then you can gain the power of water."

"Test? What exactly is it?" Zhang Meng asked curiously.

"You need to answer our questions. If you answer them correctly, you can move on." Shuiyu replied.

"Okay! I'm ready!" Zhang Meng said confidently.

"The first question: What are the three states of water?" Shuiyu asked, with a serious look in his eyes.

"Water, ice and water vapor!" Zhang Meng answered without hesitation.

"Correct!" The water fish cheered in unison and continued to ask, "Second question: What is the chemical formula of water?"

"H2O!" Zhang Meng said confidently.

"Very good, last question, what can water be used for?" Shuiyu continued to ask.

"Water can be used for drinking, bathing, watering flowers, swimming, and making tea!" Zhang Meng answered in one breath, his voice full of confidence.

The water fish nodded one after another, seeming to be satisfied with his answer. "You have passed our test! Next, you can continue to search for the power of the God of Water."

"Great! I succeeded!" Zhang Meng was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"But there is one last challenge." Shuiyu added, "You must face the test of the water spirit."

"Water spirit? What is that?" Zhang Meng asked puzzledly.

"The water spirit is the most powerful creature in the lake. Only by passing its test can you finally gain the power of water." Shuiyu explained.

"This sounds a bit scary." Zhang Meng swallowed.

"Don't worry, we will be by your side to support you." Qin Feng patted his shoulder, "Let's face it together!"

"Okay, I won't back down!" Zhang Meng said, his heart full of fighting spirit.

The fish guided them to swim towards the depths of the lake, the water flow gradually became turbulent, and the surrounding water plants became more dense.

"This is the territory of the water elves, be prepared." The water fishes said, slowly retreating to the side.

"We have to be careful, the water elves are not easy to deal with." Qin Feng reminded.

Zhang Meng nodded, and made up his mind. "I'm ready!"

At this moment, the lake water suddenly surged, and a huge water column rose from the water, with a majestic water spirit formed on the top of the water column.

"Humans, brave candidates, are you coming to challenge me?" The voice of the water elf sounded like thunder.

"Yes, I am a candidate for the Water God and I am here to accept your test!" Zhang Meng responded loudly, although he was still a little nervous.

"Very good, accept my test, then you can gain the power of water." The water spirit said, "But first, you must show your wisdom."

"Wisdom? I have no problem with that!" Zhang Meng said without hesitation.

"So, the first question is: in what state does the maximum density of water appear?" asked the water elf seriously.

"The maximum density of water occurs at 4 degrees Celsius!" Zhang Meng answered quickly, feeling a little proud.

"Correct!" The water spirit nodded slightly. "The second question is, what stages does the water cycle process include?"

"Evaporation, condensation and precipitation!" Zhang Meng said confidently.

"Very good, last question: What is the main source of water pollution?" The Water Elf continued to ask questions.

"The pollution mainly comes from industrial wastewater, agricultural fertilizers and domestic sewage!" Zhang Meng answered quickly, with a proud look on his face.

The Water Spirit's expression finally softened. "You have shown great wisdom, but wisdom is not everything. You need to have a sincere heart."

"A sincere heart?" Zhang Meng wondered.

"Water is a source of life. Only by respecting it and cherishing it can we truly master its power." The water elf said seriously.

"I understand. I will cherish the power of water!" Zhang Meng said seriously.

The water spirit smiled slightly, "Then you can pass my test and gain the power of water."

"Thank you, Water Spirit!" Zhang Meng was very excited.

The water elf waved its arms, and the lake suddenly became calm, shining with light. Water droplets gathered in the air and turned into a shining crystal ball.

"This is the water power you deserve. Be careful when using it." said the water spirit.

"I will, I will make good use of it!" Zhang Meng took the crystal ball with joy.

"Go, brave candidate for the Water God, and create your own legend!" The water elf slowly disappeared into the lake.

"I succeeded! I finally got the power of water!" Zhang Meng waved the crystal ball excitedly, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Congratulations, Mengzi! Now you are a candidate for the Water God!" Qin Feng said excitedly.

"Now I have to show my demeanor as the God of Water!" Zhang Meng said with a smile, his heart full of pride.

"Don't just think about Feng Fan. We have to go back and tell the village chief about this!" Qin Feng reminded.

"Yes, I want to share my glory with everyone!" Zhang Meng said, swimming towards the shore.

They swam back to the shore together. The village chief saw their excitement and came forward with a smile: "Did you succeed?"

"Success! I gained the power of water!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, holding the crystal ball high in his hand.

"Great, a candidate for the Water God! Now the village is saved!" The village chief's face was filled with relief.

"I will use this power well!" Zhang Meng said confidently.

"But you must also understand that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility." The village chief said seriously.

"I know, I will definitely cherish the power of water!" Zhang Meng responded firmly.

"That's good. Next we have to prepare the water ceremony to officially declare your identity as the water god." The village chief said with a smile.

"Water Ritual? What is this?" Zhang Meng asked puzzledly.

"During the ceremony, we will officially anoint you as a candidate for the Water God and pass on the power of water to you," the village chief explained.

"Then what do I need to do?" Zhang Meng asked.

"You only need to show your determination and responsibility during the ceremony," said the village chief, "and then the water spirit will grant you power again."

"Okay, I will prepare well!" said Zhang Meng.

"Now we have to prepare the details of the ceremony. Let's go find other villagers." The village chief said and began to organize the villagers.

"We'll be there soon!" Qin Feng and Zhang Meng said, then turned around and began to prepare.

"I'm so excited! I'm about to become a candidate for the Water God!" Zhang Meng was as excited as a child.

"Yes, go and tell everyone the good news!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Zhang Meng immediately ran to the village to share his glory with everyone.

"Hello everyone, I, Zhang Meng, have obtained the power of water! I want to become a candidate for the God of Water!" he shouted loudly.

The villagers gathered around, their eyes full of admiration and envy.

"Great! Zhang Meng, you are our hero!" a little girl said excitedly.

"I will protect you all!" Zhang Meng looked serious, his heart full of responsibility.

"When you become the water god, we won't have to worry about water problems anymore!" The villagers congratulated enthusiastically.

Zhang Meng answered confidently: "That's right! I will make everyone live a good life!"

With the blessings of the villagers, Zhang Meng's heart was filled with strength. He knew that he was shouldering the future of the village and he had to make good use of the power of water.

"Next we just wait for the Water Ceremony to arrive!" Qin Feng smiled aside.

"Yes! I will use this power to create more possibilities for the village!" Zhang Meng nodded firmly.

As the night deepened, the moonlight sprinkled on the lake, and the ripples flickered, as if foreshadowing the arrival of the water god.
