348 Icy Venom (1/2)

'He is doing it once more…'

Blake couldn't help but sigh internally as he witnessed the new candidate pushing the gate, supposedly for the third time today!

What he was told about him, his escalating points which were approaching Blake's own points that were built with 6 months of effort, his baffling actions… all these clues almost had the opposite effect on Blake who just couldn't understand what kind of 'genius' or 'monster' this junior brother of his was…

Since the position who he was so close to was going to be taken by someone who spent less than 2 weeks in the sect, he had no evil intention towards this monster. After all, just judging by Lan's result, he would probably be able to take his head easily if they met on the battlefield.

As such, he simply wanted to talk to him and at least understand what kind of person he was, but just as he wanted to leave his chair, Lan took out another tome and handed it to the Overseer, it wasn't hard to tell that he was going to attempt a third challenge!

Seeing this, Blake could only sit still as his gaze only grew more distant, it could be said that his mentality had grown after facing the huge gap that he only imposed on others yet had never faced it himself till now…

I received a long spear as Ian.0025, my before last opponent, appeared along a spear as well.

This time, there was nothing to consider, 'Freezing Venom Spear' was an attack technique and also one that required weapon use, so the restrictions were similar to the very first test and the test itself was even more simple than that!

Of course, 'Freezing Venom Spear' was still a special one, otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to use it after browsing the whole tome library of the Water Courtyard.

Its principle was simpler than the other two, but it's lethality could be considered as at least double that of 'Aerial Sword'!

Naturally, it was simple only in use but it's mechanism wasn't, as this technique depended on close binding of Ki or essence with the Ice elements to morph into a completely different material, or into an 'Icy Venom' to be exact.
