Changing direction mid-air!

Between the shades of light and shadow of the bean pod’s image, the fuzzy figure of the earth elementalist could be seen charging towards Zu Yan. He flew into the sky and made a major turn halfway. The deflection was very large, like a bat gliding in low altitude.

Zu Yan accumulated all the strength in his body and directed it to his heavy leg, but he still missed.

The earth elementalist made a bizarre arc and appeared behind Zu Yan.

The moment he landed, Zu Yan’s muscles seemed to have tensed. Both of them watching were seasoned battlers, and upon seeing Zu Yan’s slight movement, they knew it was getting serious.

The earth elementalist sprung up from the ground, and his back struck Zu Yan.

They promptly saw Zu Yan turn into an afterimage as he flew out of their field of vision like a rubber ball shooting upwards from a seesaw. The wood elementalist controlling the mirage bean pod was obviously shocked by this scene. The scene was frozen still for a good few seconds before the wood elementalist regained control of his senses and redirected the mirage bean pod.

In between the light and shadow of the mirage bean pod, Zu Yan’s body could be seen stuck to the light cover like a baked flatbread.

“Must be painful,” Zhou Xiaoxi commented, as he looked lifelessly at the flatbread man in the image and swallowed his saliva with a little bit of difficulty.

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt.” Li Wei shook his head with a similar dull expression. “He’s unconscious; he can’t feel a thing.”

Snap! The light and shadow image disappeared from the nepenthes cage.

“That’s…. that’s it?” Zhou Xiaoxi, who had just regained his senses, fell into a daze once again. Two seconds later, a mournful shriek loud enough to tear the roof apart sounded out. “Not one minute’s up and it’s already over? Where’s the absolute art? I can’t even see his face clearly! Earth elementalist? Where’s the sand puppet? Where are the other people? That’s all? How dare you sell the tickets at a hundred thousand yuan for this kind of show? Ahhhhhh…I’m gonna kill somebody! Don’t stop me!”

“A hundred thousand?” Li Wei looked disdainfully at Zhou Xiaoxi and did not forget to rub it in. “I don’t know if you have assets in terms of face and body, but money? I know you do! And brains? None for sure!”

Pfff. A puff of mist exited the nepenthes, releasing a burp-like sound that seemed to give an affirmation to Li Wei’s words. “Light-swallowing, shadow-spitting” nepenthes sounded like a mighty name but it was actually a very simple type of plant—its most unique trait was that it wasn’t picky about food.

When the wood elementalists first bred the mirage bean pod, they found an awkward fact—the smell of the bean was rejected by all flora and fauna.

The initial test subject was a colorful chameleon. Its skin could spray out multicolored light, creating an illusion around its surroundings to protect itself. But the experiment had quickly failed because the chameleon was badly poisoned after eating the bean.

Images stored inside the movie bean were screened successfully only after the wood elementalists had discovered a special kind of nepenthes. This was how it was given such an imperious name.

The two of them briefly stood in silence, digesting the scene from earlier.

“There’s finally a powerful fellow but he turns out to be an earth elementalist. How unexpected.” Zhou Xiaoxi was disappointed as the North Sea was recruiting water elementalists.

“It’s a pity there’s no sand puppet.” Li Wei was curious. “An earth elementalist good at battling close-range…I really wonder how his sand puppet would be like.”

Seasoned fighters like them knew that in order to evaluate an earth elementalist, they would have to understand his sand puppet. The sand puppet was the real trump card.

One must not judge a wood elementalist’s battling abilities before assessing his sand puppet.

“That was a mid-air direction switch, eh?” Zhou Xioaxi was slightly uncertain. “Recognize the move yet?”

Between the two of them, although Li Wei looked a little more forthright, their personalities were completely opposite. Zhou Xiaoxi had a carefree personality while Li Wei was more meticulous in nature.

“No.” Li Wei shook his head. “Doing a mid-air switch is possible, albeit difficult. Don’t forget that he’s an earth elementalist. He has a sand puppet.”
