Himl Soan drew in his breath. He didn’t think Leela was lying. He knew it made that judgnt based on his performance so far.
He couldn’t help but wonder how dangerous the remaining trial would be. He was still taking the first test and had only defeated three out of the five guardians. However, it had been so challenging that he nearly died.
That was how difficult the test was.
!!
However, Himl Soan was more curious about Leela’s attitude toward Firey.
Leela interfered because Firey wanted to kill herself. None of the three guardians attacked Firey, which showed how special she was.
It was all quite suspicious; he wanted to find out why. He didn’t say anything because he knew Leela had left. It ca here because of Firey. Now that she was out of harm’s way, Leela had no reason to stay.
It must be watching Himl Soan’s test from above.
The water and wood guardians were gone as well. They didn’t stay here and were also watching Himl Soan from their hidden corners. They couldn’t interfere with the test, whether Himl Soan passed it or not.
The test continued.
“I still have to face the guardians of tal and earth.
“The personalities and fighting styles of the previous guardians were all related to their elent. I think it’ll be the sa with tal and earth.
“tal is the most aggressive elent of the five, and the tal guardian should have the most powerful attacks. Earth is solid and hard to penetrate. The earth guardian won’t be as tenacious as the wood guardian, but his defense will be much harder to break,” Himl Soan murmured, analyzing the remaining two guardians.
The first three battles made him realize that the guardians were on the sa level as him, if not better. To defeat them, he must use his advantages to attack his opponent’s disadvantages.
His physical strength had been improved, and so had his combat ability. He had a better chance of winning, but he still needed to make so plans in advance.
“I’ll find the earth guardian first. His attacks will be weaker than his defense. It’ll be easier for .”
Himl Soan decided to fight the earth guardian next.
“Where is he, though?” He was at a loss.
He was surrounded by soil. It was the ground he walked on and the riverbed beneath the water. However, he never saw any signs of the earth guardian.
Where was his opponent?
He had set his target but couldn’t find him.
I can’t dig a hole in the ground until I find the earth guardian, can I? Himl Soan asked in his mind.
Wait.
In the ground!
The ground was where he could find the most earth elent. Maybe that was where the earth guardian hid!
Himl Soan punched the ground, opening it up.
“Damn it! You’re destroying the environnt!” A bald, stalwart man appeared next to Himl Soan. He scratched his head and complained.
Himl Soan couldn’t help but chuckle. Despite his majestic appearance, the man’s face was covered with dust, which seed rather funny.
“Are you the earth guardian?” Himl Soan asked.
“Yes, that’s . I’ve been listening to you for a long ti.
“Why are you so stubborn? Can’t you move a bit further? There’s a mountain a few hundred kiloters away. That’s my territory. Why are you digging here?”
The earth guardian seed like an approachable character. Himl Soan wanted to smile when listening to him.
“If that’s the case, why are you here?”
“Your battle with Fire was so loud that I had to co here to watch. I was on my way back when you started digging. Do you want to fight ? I’m here,” the earth guardian mumbled.
Imdiately, he sensed Himl Soan’s ambition.
“Slow down. My trial isn’t combat-related. You like digging, don’t you? That’s great because my test has sothing to do with that. Co to my territory first. Wood is a stingy guy. He’ll be mad at if we destroy his place.” The earth guardian walked away.
Himl Soan was perplexed. The earth guardian gave him a delusional feeling. If he didn’t know better, he would have thought the earth guardian was an ordinary mild-tempered man.
He then heard the wood guardian behind him. “I’m stingy? Just you wait! I’ll cover your mountain with my trees!”
The earth guardian seed to have heard that. He picked up his paces and sprinted off.
They arrived at the earth guardian’s territory in no ti. The mountain was so tall that Himl Soan couldn’t see its top.
“What’s the test?” Himl Soan asked.
“Haven’t I told you? You’ll be digging. We’ll each choose a direction. The first person to dig through this mountain wins.” The earth guardian then took out two shovels. “One for you, one for !”
“Are you sure this is a test?” Himl Soan was dumbfounded. That sounded so ridiculous. Digging through a mountain?
However, the earth guardian seed so serious that Himl Soan didn’t know what to say.
“Young man, don’t underestimate this mountain!” The earth guardian found a spot and raised his shovel.
Seeing this, Himl Soan grabbed the other shovel and started digging.
Clank!
The shovel made a crisp sound when it made contact with the mountain, surprising Himl Soan.
It wasn’t an ordinary mountain. With Himl Soan’s power, he should be able to cut into the mountain with an ordinary shovel. Yet he had used 10% of his maximum strength, but he couldn’t even make a dent.
“I told you. It’s not as easy as you think.” The earth guardian seed to have anticipated this.
Only then did Himl Soan realize what he ant.
