Chapter 134 Battle with Water Elements
Once you come into contact with the outside world, some things are not so easy to hide.
In particular, Lucci had given orders to turn this "test" into a tradition for outsiders.
This can be considered the first real test for the Patch tribe.
It's a bit of a shame that those who come to take the test aren't particularly strong.
The current test for the Pachi tribe is still being refined.
It was also one of Lucci's experiments.
This test is transformed into a "Constraint X Oath".
Unlike the rich diversity of Greed Island.
Lucci's goal was to "promote" the elemental creatures, the Nen Beasts.
Incorporate the elemental creatures into the Constraint X Oath.
This trial will be named either the Patch Tribe Trial or the Basen Challenge.
It's like the Hunter Exam, which is taken once a year.
There are two types of rewards. One type is to help awaken Nen, and those who already possess Nen can obtain the opportunity to "make a contract" with the Divine Tree.
This method of borrowing Nen to increase strength is an extremely powerful ability, even if it has to be repaid. Moreover, having an additional ability is like having another trump card for a Nen user.
Lucci is also increasing his "customers" and further accumulating his own spiritual energy.
Lucci's Nen will only increase, and he will eventually become a "monstrous species" like the Chimera Ant King.
Besides the divine tree, there are also special elemental creations called spirit beasts.
Each time, five winners will receive an Elemental Creation Beast, similar to how cards are brought out of Greed Island.
However, unlike the cards from Greed Island, the elemental creatures obtained from the Basen Challenge can keep appearing as long as their cores are not damaged, as long as they consume energy.
It's equivalent to directly gaining the ability of a Nen beast.
Furthermore, one can also strengthen their spirit beast through cultivation.
These elemental creations, in their underlying structure, also have a contract with the Divine Tree. It's as if Lucci is helping many people cultivate, and their cultivation experiences will also become Lucci's experiences.
When the Basen Challenge becomes a true "Constraint X Oath", then the Elemental Creation Beasts will become even more perfect.
Lu Qi, on the other hand, belongs to the group of cultivators.
Unless someone can understand the deep connection between the Divine Tree and Lucci, no one will discover the secret.
"Are you sure you really can?" This question arose when they learned that they might be able to obtain these elemental creatures.
Annie was the first to get excited.
These martial artists have a very high pursuit of strength.
"Of course," Hochira affirmed.
"Then, Lady Bisky, would you like to give it a try as well?" Hochira also invited Bisky.
"Okay!" Bisky agreed immediately.
She wanted to confirm whether this feeling was correct.
Anyway, the examinees and the martial artists who accepted the challenge won't arrive here anytime soon, so it's fine to relax for a while now.
The first challenge was with Annie.
Hochira did not take action himself, but instead arranged for his priests to do so.
They also possess the spirit of the water element.
Annie possesses a transformation ability, allowing her to transform air into flames for attacks. However, unlike Lucci, who can freely manipulate and use flames, Annie's control over flames is much more restricted.
Manipulating the properties of air is not so easy.
Just like Killua uses "electricity," he also needs to withstand the effects of electricity. It is his childhood training that allows him to use it without pressure.
This transformation of gas into a "dangerous state" requires people to gradually endure and adapt to it.
Obviously, fire is not so easy to experiment with.
In the end, Anne lost.
It's simply a matter of water overcoming fire.
In battle, the priests of the Patch tribe can not only command water elementals to fight, but also control water currents to fight.
Bisky and the other two could also see that this ability to manipulate water was more of an effect obtained by manipulating the spirit of water.
In a watery environment, the "Water Prison Technique" is extremely powerful.
It can directly plunge an opponent into the water, making it difficult for ordinary Nen users to react.
In the anime, the lion from Chimera Ants used the ability of a certain ocean hunter to control a huge current of water. If he hadn't encountered Morel, ordinary people would have been no match for him.
The main battlefield for ocean hunters is at sea.
Bisky and the others could see that in a watery environment, this water elemental beast would exert great power.
Through this battle, we can at least see a glimpse of the strength of the five major spirits.
"Your abilities are very strong. You can go to the Fire Spirit Land to take on the challenge. If you can obtain a fire elemental, it will greatly help your abilities."
Anne's adversary, however, pointed her in a direction.
"Thank you!" Annie wasn't discouraged by the loss.
Next up is Elliott.
She was slightly better than Annie, lasting a little longer, but she still lost.
This is because I've witnessed some of their abilities.
If it's the first time you encounter them, it's very likely to be a fatal encounter.
Firstly, there's the advantage of terrain; the opponent can stand directly on the water's surface or sink into the water to hide themselves.
As long as the core of the water element is not destroyed, it is completely impossible to kill it, just like encountering a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.
In addition to the ability to manipulate water, such as conjuring a large mass of water to envelop a person, those who fall into the water will be powerless.
Furthermore, the other party can also control the rotation of the water flow.
If you can't break through at the beginning, the situation will only get worse.
The conclusion drawn is quite simple: avoid fighting in areas with water, as the ability to take advantage of terrain is too prominent.
So next up is Bisky.
Hochira still didn't make a move, not because he looked down on Bisky.
Instead, it gives others the opportunity to experience combat. They mainly fight with their own people, and have relatively few opportunities to fight with outsiders.
Especially when fighting against experts.
The battle still took place in the lake area.
Bisky stood on the shore.
Her opponent, however, is in the lake.
One reason Anne and Elliott lost was that their effective attacks failed to reach each other.
Bisky ripped off her dress and threw it aside, revealing her fitted outfit underneath.
It has not been restored to its original state.
Even in her current loli form, she possesses considerable strength.
"Lord Bisky, please enlighten me." The Patch priest launched the first attack.
Unlike previous battles, this time the water elemental was hidden directly in the lake.
A stream of water rays burst forth from the water's surface.
These are child's play for Bisky.
"Do you understand my Emission-type ability?" He swung his palm, unleashing a direct palm strike-type Nen that shattered all the water beams.
And Bisky stepped directly into the water.
"I've never fought an opponent like this before!" Bisky was unusually interested.
Her opponent is not as strong as her, but given her abilities and the terrain, there is a possibility of a fight. Hopefully, her opponent can put on a good show.
"This is also a Transmutation ability!" Annie looked at Bisky's feet.
At this moment, Bisky seemed to know the opponent's location. She stepped onto the water, found the opponent's position, and directly used her hand to create a blade, unleashing a vacuum slash that sliced through the lake surface.
