First Time in the Water

The night was cool and across the lake wafted a gentle breeze as the sound of jumping fish splashed in the distance.

Chu Xian walked toward the lake wearing black sportswear. It was 11:30 pm and no one was around.

He stopped next to the lake and looked around. Confirming that no one was around, he took off his clothes and walked into the lake.

"Transform!" Chu Xian willed, and he transformed. A strange black fish about a meter long appeared in the water.

He had dark black skin, thick fins, and a gaping mouth. His strong tail beat against the lake and created waves as he cut through the water.

In the water, Chu Xian felt better than good; all the pores in his body breathed deeply, and every motion propelled him quickly and forcefully. He was free.

In the lake, however, Chu Xian's sight was reduced a lot; the water in Feng Tai Lake wasn't particularly clear, and he could only see creatures within a five-meter radius.
