Chapter 592: Final Determination

Impressive amounts of water vapor surged out of Poseidon’s body. The sea god was born in the sea. Even outside of the domain of water, it did not mean he could not use the power of water. Poseidon’s body was in itself the most natural way to collect water. However, what Xiao Lin did not know was, when Poseidon used the power of his own body, it meant that Poseidon had nothing else in reserve

That was Poseidon’s only choice; after his powers were restricted, he was only left at Gold rank. He could even feel a strong sense of danger from that foreign forest. The beasts had been apprehensive at the start, probably because they were afraid of the power from the crack, but they would eventually react. Poseidon could not accept his power being challenged by anyone, so he held nothing back as he used his trump card.

Many trees started to fall as the water levels constantly rose, and countless beasts were frantically running away. Facing that impressive power that affected nature itself, even the beasts that were stronger than Poseidon had to retreat.

Xiao Lin had the foresight to climb up one of the taller trees, but at the rate the water was accumulating, it seemed like it would only be a matter of them. Looking at Poseidon who was summoning wind and rain, and feeling the waves that crashed on him and the howling winds, Xiao Lin could not help but laugh after he coughed out some blood.

Poseidon remained in the air as he coldly observed Xiao Lin. He did not descend again, probably used to looking down on others from a position far above them. It was a pity his arrogance did not last long, as the winds got more and more intense, up in the sky, within those clouds, a low whistling sound could be heard.

“It’s finally here?” Xiao Lin was elated. “Poseidon, I chose a very good opponent for you.”

The snow-white silhouette of a fish could be seen in the dark skies. The sky fish would only appear when there was enough wind. The intense winds Poseidon summoned provided the sky fish with the best place to move around.

Poseidon raised his head, his expression stern. The sky fish hovered around the air for a moment before suddenly moving its fins, rushing right at Poseidon who was in the air. It was time for the sky fish to hunt. When it descended from the sky, it was to catch prey for itself.

Bam!

The sky fish lunged at an incredibly fast speed and collided with Poseidon. At that moment it emitted a bright white light, covering the entire forest as if a meteor had just hit the earth. Xiao Lin could not take it, and fell from the tree that he had climbed up to.

However, thanks to the sky fish’s disturbance, Poseidon could temporarily not gather any water. The water levels had started to recede for the moment, and it reached Xiao Lin’s waist. Xiao Lin did not hesitate to move quickly toward the opposite direction. He did not want to interfere in the upcoming fight. It did not matter who won that fight, as long as they managed to last a few hours.

Xiao Lin had no time to slowly observe the battle behind him, but the shocking sounds of battle did not stop for a moment in two hours. He did not know the result of the battle, but after two hours, the sounds of battle stopped, and the entire forest fell into silence, leaving only the sounds of flowing water behind.

The water level in the outer parts of the forest was not high, but Xiao Lin did not dare to stop and rest despite his exhaustion. The entire way, he did not see Gu Xiaoyue. He did not know if that woman had managed to avoid the sudden onslaught of water, but he did meet a few other people. It was not the ones who had separated from them earlier, but other students. It was obvious that there were quite a few students that managed to survive in the forest.

However, with things the way they were, they could only rely on their own luck if they managed to survive until the end.

Xiao Lin was a bit relieved, and he continued to move away alone. He did not dare to distance himself from Poseidon too much because he was worried that Poseidon would choose to look for the others. Of course, he hoped even more than the sky fish had killed Poseidon, but he knew it was not that possible. At least he managed to win himself a reprieve of over two hours.

After leaving, he deliberately slowed his pace, continuing to observe any movements behind him carefully. After ten minutes, alongside huge waves that reached the sky, Poseidon’s red body once again rose into the air. A series of roars with uncontrolled anger reverberated around the forest.

Poseidon had won, even though he did not look like he was in a great state. The amount of wounds around his body was enough to show how strong the sky fish was. In truth, Xiao Lin did not know much about that foreign lifeform. From the looks of it, him being able to escape from the hypnosis back then had been a stroke of extreme luck.

Poseidon did not go anywhere else despite not being able to find Xiao Lin, but the water around him seemed to have decreased by a lot compared to earlier. It seemed that he could no longer use the sea to sink the entire forest, but very quickly, the sky was filled with ice arrows that constantly fell. Not even an inch of ground or the water was spared. Poseidon was very familiar with that low-level spell, and since it did not take much energy, Poseidon did not care about the amount.

That man was going to attack indiscriminately.

Xiao Lin immediately understood Poseidon’s intentions. Not far away from Xiao Lin, the student he had coincidentally met earlier immediately paled. The waves from earlier had already rendered most of them exhausted, and now the ice arrows were so densely packed together. If they really entered the range of the attack, with their abilities, not many of them would be able to avoid it.

The sky slowly darkened. Even through the dark clouds that already filled the sky, the position of the sun could be told through the cracks, and it was at most an hour away from the end of the examination.

Turn around and leave?

No, Xiao Lin discarded that notion almost immediately. The last moments of the examination would invite the final problems of the examination. It was possible that the student union had designed the examination to test his skills, or was it his luck?

That was not important. Xiao Lin understood what he needed to do for the rest of Class Seven, and for the sake of increasing Gu Xiaoyue’s hopes of surviving.

Facing the men who were looking at him, Xiao Lin said one word, “Leave!”

“Mo…Monitor!” The man who was older than Xiao Lin had been hesitant, and was quickly dumbfounded because he saw Xiao Lin moving toward Poseidon’s direction on his own volition.

At the final moments, Xiao Lin decided to stall for time himself!

The sky fish and Poseidon’s fight had lasted two hours, and Xiao Lin’s strength had returned quite a bit. He did not dare to say how much of Poseidon’s power the sky fish managed to waste, nor did not dare to say that he would be able to delay Poseidon too much.

Some things needed to be done, even if the result was death.

With the intention of preserving his strength, Xiao Lin only activated Miracle, and put all his attributes into agility, not planning on fighting Poseidon straight up in power.

Poseidon quickly noticed Xiao Lin who had no intention of hiding himself. Looking at that ancient sea god, Xiao Lin laughed before shouting in Ancient Normese, “Mongrel!”
