Chapter 436: Last Whirlpool (2/2)
The air bubble is surrounded by the whirlpool as it rotated with the eye coinciding with its axis.
The Ice figure looked at Sam without doing anything. It is smart and it could sense that Sam's aura is weakening and didn't care much.
This is what happens when the smartness is trained. Even though the Ice figure is smart it didn't have enough wit to think that Sam could fluctuate his aura and this all would be a ploy. In fact, Sam took a gamble and he won at this moment.
He reduced his aura intentionally so that the ice figure wouldn't concentrate on him much. Just being smart enough is not enough, experience is important and even though, the ice figure could gain experience over time, Sam felt that there are not many people on the planet who took these trials which made it easy for him to fool it.
After forming a considerably large bubble and making sure it wouldn't explode due to the water flow. He has expended most of his spiritual energy to control the water flow and the wind flow. It has been a while since he used two elements at the same time.
After some time, he placed his finger inside the bubble and ignited the methane.
A huge blue flame appeared under the water and the cylinder still continued on providing gas so that it wouldn't be extinguished easily. The flame intensity is extremely high and the water temperature raised rapidly. The Ice figure suddenly felt the temperature raising and tried to reduce the temperature of the water.
But it realized that it was too late, currently, the water is too chaotic for it to gain control back. The whirlpool was almost destroyed due to the explosion of the gas which caused the water to flow turbulently in all directions and due to the sudden rise of temperature it is hard for the ice figure to move.
As Sam held the gas cylinder, he saw the ice figure making its way down towards Sam.
It swam down with its spear so that it could attack Sam directly. But the heat in the water is making it hard for it. The Icy figure could feel its body melting slowly.
Sam grinned when he noticed that the icy figure came towards him and even though all his other senses is lost, he could feel the pressure coming from that guy, all of a sudden he halted the flame and at the same time took out a formation disc and place it.
It is a high-level formation that can block a few blows from a Pre-transcendent cultivator. It was made by one of his new recruits. That guy is only a nascent stage cultivator, and a late-stage one. But he was still able to create that.
He is one of the elites under his wing. Due to the sudden loss of the flame and gas flow, there is a small air gap that appeared in the place and Sam immediately activated the formation which blocked the water from entering.
But time, Sam is already on his last legs, if he continued elemental fusion he would only be able to last for another ten minutes, but it is all he needed. He and the ice figure both are stuck in the formation and Sam immediately deactivated the water elemental fusion and activated the fire elemental fusion.
He once again started the methane flame and the ice figure finally realized the danger.
This level of fire will melt this ice figure easily and it just happened like that.
After five minutes the formation was deactivated and Sam swam upwards. He took out the harbinger and left the place as he moved forward. He didn't want to be in this place for one more second.
He crossed the mist and entered a safe place similar to the one he entered after the first test.
He landed on a rock and started eating so that he could recover some energy. He is extremely fatigued.
He didn't care for anything else as he ate to his fill and laid down on the rock as he tried to get some sleep.
He didn't want to think much about anything else as he rested.
After a long time, he woke up, but it is already evening. He was deciding whether he has to move or not. But after some time, he decided to stay here for the night. He would have a fresh start tomorrow. He has endured enough for the day.
