Sam waited for twelve hours before he got his turn. As patient as he could be, it is really a bit frustrating.
He entered the exam site after a long ti. It is a large room with a bunch of people supervising him. There is a beast. A reptile.
The Razor teeth Alligator. It is one of the beasts that live in water but doesn’t have a water elent to it. In fact, it is a neutral elent. It is an extrely rare beast because the water elental beasts like to eat this guy.
The taste of the at is great and it is almost addictive. Cooked properly, it is a delicacy that makes even Sam drool for a taste.
But it has another function. A lab subject. It can be a great guinea pig for any sort of experints related to poisons, toxins, potions, parasites.
It is actually a reptile spiritual beast version of a white lab rate.
The next thing Sam noticed is the behavior of the beast. Generally, these alligators are extrely active. As tasty as they can be, there are not many beasts at the sa level within the water body that could eat them up.
They are fast, aggressive, and extrely cunning. But currently, the beast in front of him is completely tired. It has different skin tones in different places and its expression is showing pain, pleasure, lethargy, and numbness at the sa ti.
He beca really curious about its condition. He went in there to take a look. He placed his hand on it and directly used the observation ability to check the whole body out at the sa ti.
And then what he saw shocked him.
The beast in front of him has different elental energies nested up in its body. It is like a globe of an energy cocktail and each energy is flowing in a random direction, affecting various organs.
It is hard to keep such an energy lump in a body of a living being without having any effects. There must be an extrely sensitive balance maintained between them to have any form of stability. But once the balance broke, the energies wouldn’t be stable anymore and the result is what he is seeing in front of his eyes.
The balance between the five energies is not just broken they are currently fighting with each other to corrupt the body and out of all these five elents, only the water elent is not harming the beast.
Because it lives in the water even though it doesn’t have any water elental abilities, it does have a body that supports that elental energy. At least it is immune to it.
As he observed the energies rampaging through the body, he felt more and more intrigued.
"Five elental energy poison."
He muttered out loud as he looked at the beast.
The beast is not just suffering from the lack of balance or infiltration of the elental energies, the elental energies are in fact caused by the accumulation of the energy poison which he noticed when he observed the tissues of the body.
These poisons are similar to the Bi Fang fire poison. They have a similar texture and physical properties to that of a bodily fluid or a tissue and they rge in the body easily.
Due to the nature of the beast, the energy from all the poisons was accumulated in the center and once again rging with the flow because of the lack of the beast’s ability to keep the balance. If one looked at it normally, one would only notice the elental energies and the lack of balance. But once they look at it deeply and examined the muscle tissues and skin fragnts, they would be able to notice this aspect.
But this all takes a lot of ti to diagnose without the observation ability.
Which caused the room full of supervisors of the test to be shocked by the quick analysis.
"That was awfully quick. Seems like sobody from the supervisor team is snitching again."
The chief supervisor looked at the remaining four of his companions and said.
Sam looked at him in confusion.
"You don’t need to putt an act. You are barely in the middle stage of the Astral Plane Initiation. It is already a bit of a stretch to let you participate, but the Solar Fragnt tribe’s reputation still holds so weight, even though the tribe is on verge of destruction. That is why you got the chance.
Now you just slipped the attack by diagnosing it too quickly. You must be one of those insane kids who want the Five elental kings to teach you.
Give the na of the guy who gave you the answer and gets lost from here."
Sam raised an eyebrow as he looked at the condescending man. He is known to be condescending himself, but this felt a bit extre even for him.
He just raised his hand and placed it on the beast again, before channeling his energy inside.
The beast is completely enveloped with glowing energy and Sam closed his eyes as he increased his focus, before the supervisor could do anything, the glow already receded and the beast is visible again.
But this ti, the skin tone and the other symptoms are gone. The beast has its eyes closed as if it slept and it slowly opened its eyes and looked at Sam.
It licked him on the face twice before closing its eyes peacefully and drifting into sleep. Its body is too tired to be able to stay awake.
"Is this also part of the snitching you guys offer?"
Sam asked casually and walked out with Agar.
The supervisor ca to his senses and ran towards the beast and made his own tests. After half an hour of testing, he couldn’t find anything. Anything except reaching a conclusion that the beast is okay and there are no traces of the elental poison anywhere.
It is completely clean of the elental energies.
Sam and Agar went to their assigned tents to stay for the night and waited for the result.
The next day. There are five people including Sam who were selected and they were brought to the valley.
The valley is larger than what Sam actually thought. He just thought it would be a regular old valley, but it covers a few acres and the formation of that scale is extrely complex. Particularly when they are keeping the five elents in balance.
Even he would take a significant ti to lay out a design for this kind of formation.
There are many fields where they are growing herbs and fruits of different elents within the valley and the Cancid family workers are maintaining the fields and managing the harvest.
Maybe the Five- elental king is not the only reason they are keeping control over the valley.
After they reached a certain distance, there is a large patch of forest and there are many people entering it.
"This is the five elental forest. This was actually a normal forest before he ca in and placed his resting space in the middle of it, but after he laid the formation the forest area mutated. Many weak beasts migrated into this forest with his agreent and they brought so great vegetation.
This place gives access to so people who paid the entrance fee and they can search for the herbs or fruits that may have grown here. Hunting is completely prohibited. When you walk in, if you find any herb or fruit you want, you can keep it. But stay away from the beasts.
After we reach the center, you will be allowed to diagnose him in order."
The supervisor who ca with them explained and he took them through a path in the forest.
After walking through, Sam felt like calling a forest is a bit of stretch, more like an overgrown garden full of trees.
Soon they reached the center of the valley which is also the center of the forest and there a man with long hair and beard sat cross-legged on a stone platform.
He is barechested only wearing the clothes that covered his lower off and anyone with decent energy sensory abilities could feel the five elental energy being in the perfect balance around him.
Sam activated his energy vision to take a look at the surroundings and the man himself.
At this mont, the supervisor took out a scroll and said.
"Here is the order that you guys will have your turns.
First is Sam, then Lonava, Mariad, Ora..
But before the supervisor could finish one of the two girls in the five candidates raised her hand and interrupted.
"Excuse , I think there is a mistake. I should be the first person on the list."
The supervisor frowned and looked at her in askance.
"I am Lonava from the Golden Blood Dark elf clan and also the disciple of Vardar. I am sure there is a mistake. There is no one here that could beat in that little competition."
Sam raised an eyebrow and was about to say sothing. But Agar caught his hand and whispered.
"Don’t butt heads with her. She is the disciple of soone who cos under your Phase four plans."
Sam stopped and looked at her in surprise.
Soone in Phase four ans they are in Astral Plane Consummate stages. It would take a long ti for Sam to even provoke them according to his current plans. So, it is indeed better not to ss with her.
But there is another question in his mind. What is a person who is a disciple of such a powerful person doing in a place like this?
