84 Bubbles (1/2)

Just as water overcomes fire, earth overcomes water. As his fists neared the water, the water slit up allowing a clean hit on the tiled floors. There was a small shock wave that shattered all the tiles in a 2 meter radius. Xin Fan jumped out before the floor collapsed down.

*Pop*

Xin Fan felt a burst of skin around the back of his neck.

[ User has attempted to use 'Earth Crash' ]

[ Technique is of acceptable standards ]

[ New technique created 'Remote Force' ]

[ Technique is able to be merged into harvest slash ]

Information rushed through his head as he watched the water started to bubble up even more. A pair of eyes flashed within the darkness of the pit.

'Hmm... a new harvest slash technique.'

Xin Fan wiped away the blood leaking off the back of his neck. Before the water retreated back, he shot a small flame from his fingers and slightly illuminated the pit. For a second, he could almost make out the figure deep inside. There was a serpentine figure with floating bubbles around it's head. A rush of white ran past Xin Fan as he saw a chicken jump in the pit.

”Huh? It's going in?”

There were flashes of white and black from the violent brawl. Within moment's of notice, a serpentine figure flew out of the pit with a chicken trapped in a green bubble. It had emerald green scales that camouflaged with the water. It's red eyes glowed slightly as a forked tongue flickered out of it's lips.

*Sss*

The chicken had no visible wounds however no matter how much it kicked around, it couldn't burst the bubble.

*Cluck*Cluck!*

The chicken pecked at it's cage only for the bubble to slightly bend and not break much like an elastic band. Besides from the bubble with the chicken, there were four other bubbles around it, one for each of them and an extra for good measure.

*Pop*

A bubble that floated around it's head popped. A small pea shaped hole was gouged out of Xin Fan's arm. Xin Fan's eyes widened in pain as he violently gripped at his arm. This was different from the rest. Green foam started to gather around the snakes mouth forming a bubble.

”Attack!”

Xin Fan slashed outwards with his fingers. A large blade of energy sliced through the air at the speed of sound. Tianfei pulled the trigger shooting a bolt of lightning at the snake. Chilong sent a jet of primal essence forming a hand grasping at the snake. It was all within a single moment. The snake didn't have a chance to react before it was struck. There was an explosion of steam as the lightning evaporated the splashing water around the snake.

*Pop*

As the mist settled, Xin Fan stared in shock as a he saw the faint flickering of a tongue. There were three bubbles around it's head.

'Where did that bubble go?'

The snake shot forwards with it's gaping jaws wide open. By instinct, Xin Fan jumped to the side to avoid collision. The snake's eyes darted to Xin Fan and burst one of the bubbles around it's neck. Xin Fan felt a sharp pain piercing his leg. As he fell to the ground, he slammed the ground sending a shock wave.

”Remote Force!”

The force traveled through the floor and blasted upwards from the underbelly of the snake. The snake was sent flying a few centimeters as it turned it's head to him. A bubble reformed around it's neck as a bolt of lightning rushed to it's head from the distance. This time, Xin Fan could clearly see what happened. The bolt of lightning hit for sure, that much was true. However, what happened next was the snake simply popped. From it's newly reformed bubble, a new body emerged from it.
