Sam closed his eyes and concentrated on the hologram. He could see an ice figure which has an aura far stronger than any other ice figure he faced.
He didn’t have a n to proceed. All his senses are cut and if he dealt this with a battle of attrition, he is not sure he would be able to deal with the ice figure before his mentality drained.
After all, it is not easy for him to maintain the hologram for a long time. At least not when he is outside of the divine dimension like this.
He has to be a Late-stage Nascent to use the hologram for more than an hour without taking any mental damage and he is far from that level. He has to go back and concentrate on his mental training if he wants to use that extensively.
After all, the functions of the table are not just limited to holograms.
He shook his head of these thoughts and started thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
He hasrge amounts of methane and he hasrge amounts of energy cells and spirit stones, but would he be able to deal with them without taking any damage?
Sam didn’t have time topletely focus on this thing, he started dodging the attacks. At this moment, he felt more relieved than ever that even though the ice figures have strength their moves and attacks are limited. But just when he thought so, he realized he was celebrating too early.
The Ice figure which was surrounded by the water body suddenly moved. Sam just dodged the arm of therge water body, but the Ice figure used the water body to move like a sh and appeared right in front of Sam and swung its fists.
Sam barely dodged and the fist still hit the edge of the harbinger which made him tumble in the air.
If not for his sheer control over the board, Sam highly doubted that he would have been able to survive that punch.
He couldn’t help but frown at this. The same thing repeated time and again and in half-an-hour Sam is already bleeding through his nose. He knew that he is reaching the hologram limit.
Sam has to finish this soon. But he couldn’t find an opening. The energy cells are being blocked and so were the grenades, at the same time, he couldn’t use the harbinger and methane as he did before because this ice figure is too fast unlike the previous two.
Even though he wasn’t severely injured in this situation, he is still umting damage.
Sam couldn’t think of any other way to deal with this situation. He could just st arge energy cell, but he would definitely fly and reach an unknown ce.
After some time, Sam is feeling the toll of exhaustion and decided to take another approach all of a sudden.
He activated water elemental fusion as he dove into the water. He stored the harbinger away and since he is already wearing the breathing equipment, he doesn’t have to worry at all.
After diving, he let the whirlpool take him in, in fact, he swam in the same direction to increase his speed of entering the whirlpool.
The water pressure increased and he could sense the ice figure manipting the water around him to make his body hurt.
But the attack isn’t severe. It is almost as if the ice figure is only stopping him from escaping the whirlpool and it would be fine as long as he stayed in the whirlpool.
But the reality is different actually. The main reason the attack isn’t severe is that Sam activated elemental fusion of water. Even though it is partial and only around sixty percent, it still has resistance towards the attack.
Sam didn’t care about what would happen to him or how long he could bear but from the looks of it, he can bear it for quite some time. Hepletely cut his signal with the hologram and he stood at the eye of the whirlpool. He started utilizing the water element to its extreme and controlled his body to stand still and avoided spinning.
He took out a cylinder of the highest-level methane he had in his hands and slowly leaked the contents, but he didn’t let the gas spread all over, rather he created an air bubble around the methane gas and started filling it up.
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 who took these trials which made it easy for him to fool it.
After forming a considerablyrge 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 ced his finger inside the bubble and ignited the methane.
A huge blue me appeared under the water and the cylinder still continued on providing gas so that it wouldn’t be extinguished easily. The me 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 toote, 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 pressureing from that guy, all of a sudden he halted the me and at the same time took out a formation disc and ce 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 ate-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 me and gas flow, there is a small air gap that appeared in the ce and Sam immediately activated the formation which blocked the water from entering.
But time, Sam is already on hisst legs, if he continued elemental fusion he would only be able tost 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 me 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 ce as he moved forward. He didn’t want to be in this ce for one more second.
He crossed the mist and entered a safe ce simr to the one he entered after the first test.
Hended 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 andid 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.
