Chapter 1102: Chapter 1103: To Your Doom Chapter 1102: Chapter 1103: To Your Doom “It really doesn’t seem dangerous, does it? Or is this Third Young Master of the Han Family just putting on airs?”
“Even if he’s just pretending, it demonstrates that a cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Realm can endure it. If we go down and start to feel overwhelmed, we can react in time to adjust and quickly return to the shore. As long as this water doesn’t kill us in a second, the danger isn’t that great.”
The cultivators watched Li Xiaobai swimming around in the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Upon closer inspection, it’s not dangerous at all. What the Third Young Master of the Han Family said just now makes a lot of sense; indeed, this first round is more of a test than a death sentence—the Island Master must have set restrictions to reduce the power of the spring. They didn’t announce it because they are testing our confidence and bravery!
“Holy shit, for real?”
“Could it be that the spring really has been weakened?”
“But if that’s the case, how come I wasn’t aware of it?”
Long Aotian stood by, dumbfounded. As the Great Disciple of Ice Dragon Island, he had learned all the details of today’s competition yesterday. The Great Elder didn’t mention anything about setting restrictions to reduce the power of the spring. He only mentioned that they would intervene to save someone at a critical moment.
However, the Third Young Master of the Han Family’s performance was far too relaxed, as if he were soaking in a hot spring in his own backyard, which made Long Aotian begin to doubt whether the spring was actually as lethal as it seemed.
“Brother Ao Tian, what do you think of this spring? Is it really as powerful as you said?”
“In my opinion, Brother Ao Tian just wants to intimidate the young elites here into stepping down to reduce his competition. For the Great Disciple of Ice Dragon Island to have such a small measure of composure is somewhat disappointing.”
Li Xiaobai poked his head out from the spring with a grin. Protected by the System, such a dangerous place was merely a good leveling spot for him and couldn’t harm him.
The System’s panel showed the Attribute Points ticking.
[Attribute Point +300 million…]
[Attribute Point +400 million…]
This was a natural leveling spot, providing a substantial amount of Attribute Points. Even facing five million worth of damage, his body would show signs of cracking. However, after rhythmically swallowing several Heavenly Fragrance Life-extending Pills, he was quickly as good as new.
“Who would’ve thought that the pride of Ice Dragon Island would resort to such clumsy tricks in an attempt to deceive us? Let my Hundred Flowers Sect test the depth of this spring.”
Su Yunbing parted the crowd and walked slowly toward the spring, still in her fiery red dress, barefoot, her figure tall and straight with a sense of power. Without hesitation, she jumped into the molten lava, splashing fragments everywhere. Li Xiaobai noticed a faint membrane on her skin, seemingly protecting her entire body with Immortal Yuan Power against the lava’s corrosion, and for the moment, she too was unscathed without the slightest injury.
The power contained within this Great Disciple was terrifying in both quality and quantity.
“Sister, dare I ask, how does the spring feel?”
Among the crowd, Liu Jinshui made a big fuss, voicing the question on behalf of the cultivators.
Su Yunbing stretched her waist, outlining a perfect curve, “Feels great, very refreshing!”
“Holy shit, the brother from the Han Family was right, the spring really hasn’t reduced its power. What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and go down for the trial!”
“If you stay on the shore too long, you might be seen as forfeiting by default!”
Liu Jinshui wailed loudly, twisting his rotund body as he leaped into the lava.
“This brother is right, such a heaven-sent opportunity is perfect for us to temper our flesh. For us, it’s all gain and no harm!”
“However, everyone should still know their own limits. After all, not everyone can emerge unscathed from such dangerous places like we can.”
Meanwhile, more shouts rang out, and several figures in the crowd swiftly dashed forward, diving into the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring, splashing up bursts of water. A thin layer of membrane covered the surface of their bodies, blocking the power of ice and fire from harming them, leaving them completely unharmed.
These people were clearly a few fellow senior brothers and sisters, who had a knack for making a show. With every glance and every word, they made the spring seem as if it were truly safe.
“It’s really okay, the Third Young Master of the Han Family has been down for quite a while now. It seems the power has indeed been reduced, let’s go down too!”
“Holy shit, so many people went down without an issue, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and try it out!”
“Yeah, the Island Master is watching from above. If we show too much hesitation or indecision, it might lower the score he has for us in his mind!”
“Let’s go, let’s go. If we really can’t hold on, we can just come back up!”
The cultivators, unable to resist the scene before their eyes, jumped into the water without a second thought.
Even Long Aotian couldn’t resist his curiosity, and with a flicker of his figure, he jumped right in. The relaxed appearance of Li Xiaobai and the others filled him with doubts, he had to dive in himself to find out the truth.
In an instant, the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring looked like a place where dumplings were being dropped into boiling water. Cultivators from all corners were jumping in. Their decisive actions caused the onlookers outside to feel a mixture of horror and admiration. It was no wonder that these young geniuses from various forces were so composed even in the face of such dangers, not hesitating even for a moment.
What they didn’t know was, the moment these cultivators touched the spring, the smiles on their faces instantly froze. The sense of relief in their hearts evaporated. The moment their bodies touched the icy lake surface, a layer of frost instantly swept over them, firmly imprisoning their bodies. Not only that, but the Immortal Yuan Power inside their Dantians also slowed down and became difficult to mobilize. As soon as they hit the water, they solidified like ice sculptures, unable to move, except for their frightened eyeballs which kept rolling in panic.
As for the cultivators who fell into the lava, there was even less need to talk about them. The scorching lava could even crack open the skin of a Half-Saint Cultivator, let alone rupture the mere flesh of a cultivator from the Heavenly Immortal Realm. In the blink of an eye, several human-shaped pillars of fire screamed and wailed in the lake, the shrill sounds making the hairs of the listeners stand on end.
“This spring water is wrong; its power hasn’t been reduced!”
“Damn it, that Han family guy tricked me!”
“And that damned fatty, he set me up!”
“How come they are fine? Could their physical cultivation really have reached such a level?”
“Hurry and find the balance point between the ice and fire, otherwise, it’s a dead end for us!”
The cultivators let out miserable cries, as they realized the moment they hit the water that the Third Young Master of the Han Family was deceiving them. All that ease was nothing but an act, meant to lure them in.
As far as the eye could see, every moment young cultivators perished, with treasures from their Dantians scattering all over the sky before being swept away by a strange ray of light.
Following the source of the light, they saw Li Xiaobai holding a small broken bowl in his hand, his eyes gleaming with greed as he watched them joyfully.
“Holy shit, it’s this little bastard who’s causing trouble!”
“Family Head, save me!”
“Elder, save me!”
“Island Master, save me!”
