A few hours later.
"Is this the place, right?"
In the distance, a team of seven stopped and came to a place full of debris, where there were metal scraps scattered all over the ground.
Here is the place where Adam defeated the last prey.
"It's obvious there are signs of battle, and the energy here feels right." Another student standing next to him lowered his head, picked up some soil, rubbed it a little, and said.
The team leader who spoke first also spoke again:
"Damn it! Along the way, we have found two scenes where he successfully fought alone. What is his underestimated superpower rating really is? How can a student have such combat power!"
"This person is too strong, completely affecting the balance!"
"How many energy cores does he have on his hand! His score is almost the most now, right."
"I don't know, I feel that even if we seven add up, we are not as many as him!"
"With this combat power, he is probably the first in this trial."
While the team discussed Adam's strength in shock, there was a woman with her eyes closed, her index finger pressing her forehead, as if she was thinking about something seriously.
After a while, she suddenly said:
"Moved! He moved."
Six pairs of eyes turned in unison, focusing on the only team member whose superpower was related to mental perception.
Eyes slowly opened, scanning the surroundings to take in their teammates, and a voice asked,
"What do you think? Should we keep following?"
The group of seven fell into a collective silence at the question.
After a while, one of the team members tentatively broke the silence, saying,
"Actually, it should be said, do we still loot his energy core then?"
This statement completely removed the veil of pretense from everyone. They, as a group of seven, were indeed, as Clark had mentioned, planning to take action against Adam.
But along the way, having seen two such ruins, they were already numb.
Their team of seven had only managed to hunt down one monster, yet following Adam's path, they discovered that he, alone, had already dealt with two.
And these were just the ones they had found; the unseen ones were not even counted.
They knew Adam was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful! They could hardly imagine what kind of battle this place had witnessed.
Everywhere were unmelted patches of ice, making it look like a post-war site.
They didn't understand, but they were deeply shocked.
"Actually, I think we might not even be his match with all seven of us."
"What are you talking about? How can you boost others' morale and dampen our own?!"
"After all, we have seven people. We should be able to handle him, right?"
"And maybe the monsters he encountered were just the weaker ones."
The teammates discussed in hushed tones, but their lack of confidence was apparent.
"Keep following!" The temporary leader of the squad finally spoke.
"It's okay, just observe from a distance for now, and I believe we're not the only ones following him!"
After several hours of rest, Adam set off at full speed once again.
In front of him was a lake that appeared abruptly.
There were no grass or trees around, just red soil, which didn't seem like a place for a lake.
But there it was, because in this Realm, the unreasonable was a form of reason.
[Lake: Although I know you probably won't listen, I actually suggest you'd better not mess with this monster.]
[Wind: This is it, this is it, take it down, I believe in you~]
Adam felt like the voices of the Hearing of Everything in his ears had started to have an internal dispute.
But since he had found his destination, he no longer hesitated, temporarily muting the voices in his ears about the path, and began to observe the surroundings.
Judging by this, the lake definitely had issues.
Such an abrupt thing, it was a bit unreasonable to be considered a landscape.
But could it also be like the initial sand giant, an elemental conglomerate, and in a moment, this lake turns into a water monster, stands up, and fights with itself?
But if it's really identical to the sand giant, is the type of monster in this Realm a bit too monotonous and boring?
As he was lost in thought, the surface of the lake surged, and a figure leaped out of the water and stood on the shore.
Adam, after a series of battles, had become quite adept at combat, almost without thinking, instinctively jumping back and lashing out with the Energy Chain.
Crack! c***k! c***k!
There were three sounds only because Adam had launched three chains at once.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a humanoid creature made of water, like a water ghost.
And the water ghost, which had just jumped out of the river and done nothing, was lashed hard by Adam, causing it to stumble.
Water Ghost: ???
Turning its head, it looked at Adam; although it had no facial features, Adam just felt it was looking at him.
Even from its body language, its innocence was apparent; it even humanely spread its hands towards Adam.
For a moment, Adam was also unclear about the situation in front of him. Was this thing 'prey' or not? It seemed quite weak.
At this moment, the voice of the Hearing of Everything rang out in his mind.
[Water Ghost: Do you need anything? If not, would you like to play something else?]
This was the first time something in the Realm that looked like a monster had spoken to him!
After thinking for a moment, Adam replied,
"Do you play online games? I'm quite good at it, but I was banned last time."
[Water Ghost: ???]
Not understanding Adam's words, the water ghost limped away, but suddenly, it turned around and looked at the bracelet on Adam's hand.
The next second, as if mad, its entire body exploded, turning into countless parts that rushed towards Adam from all directions, gather into a body upon approaching, and reached out to grab the bracelet on Adam.
Sizzle!
A sound like hot oil being poured into cold water, Adam's left hand pierced through the water ghost's body in a flash, and froze the watery body completely.
Looking at the ice sculpture impaled on his hand, Adam cracked his neck gently:
"I knew it! But in this case, you, made of water, seem to be quite easy for me to deal with."
However, a cold drop of water slid off the ice sculpture and did not soak into the earth but instead bounced back into the lake.
The next moment, the lake exploded!
It was like a bomb had been thrown into it, with countless water droplets splashing!
Each drop turned into a water ghost, as if the gates of hell had been opened in an instant, with thousands of water ghosts swarming towards Adam.
"Damn! Look, look!"
Far away, more than ten miles away, there was a team also tracking Adam. One person with golden eyes had been using his superpower to watch Adam, and now he was calling out his teammates anxiously.
Another person nearby said impatiently:
"Keep it down, we don't have your superpower, how could we see it?!"
Mid-sentence, his tongue immediately faltered, unable to speak clearly.
Because he saw it too.
Countless transparent blue water figures scattered in the distance, they didn't know where these things came from, but they looked like countless alien invaders descending from the galaxy, making people's scalps tingle.
"Don't look, let's go, this guy must have provoked something terrifying! It's not something we can..."
Mid-sentence, he couldn't speak again.
Far away, a burst of cold air erupted, as if entering an ancient severe winter, the entire land was covered with a layer of frost, and all those water ghosts were frozen, falling to the ground and shattering.
Everyone was stunned.
