Gu Yuan was right there, naturally not allowing these fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles to disrupt the Dragon Loach's transformation.
With a flick of his sleeve, the originally calm lake water came under his control, transforming into sharp water swords, water sabers, grinding discs, heavy hammers, and giant axes, slaying and smashing these fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles.
The lake water instantly turned crimson, but Gu Yuan swept it aside, bringing in clear lake water to prevent any influence on the Dragon Loach's transformation.
Time passed, lasting more than an hour.
The Dragon Loach's transformation had reached its end.
Originally a fine Dragon Loach, now its body seemed tattered and torn, like a monstrous snake crushed repeatedly on a highway, its scales and skin dull and lifeless, with a darkened hue.
It appeared to be the corpse of a snake that had been dead for a long time, floating quietly on the water, unmoving, without the slightest sign of life.
