A strange force surged into his body. This energy was peculiar, almost mystifying. He stood still, resisting the flow of the water, and the force weakened significantly.
If he drifted downstream with the current, the strange energy would completely vanish.
Conversely, as he moved upstream against the flow, the energy steadily grew stronger.
This enigmatic power didn't alter his physique or enhance his Base Mutation Rate. It merely assimilated into his body, nourishing his Life Base and Spiritual Sense.
Lin Shen had no intention of swimming; instead, he sank to the riverbed, choosing to walk upstream along the bottom. Doing this allowed him to move faster than if he swam—and faster than Wei Wufu as well.
The river wasn't very deep, only about ten meters. Once Lin Shen reached the riverbed, he noticed that the current was much faster below, bringing with it an even greater concentration of strange energy.
