Every elemental creature found it hard to believe just how arrogant Jon was.
“Then in that case, we’ll go ahead and grant you your wish!” The three elders stepped forward. Since Jon was so haughty, they didn’t care about the chivalry of a one-on-one duel. They wanted to teach the young boy a lesson.
“Elemental Arrow!”
The old water elemental was the first to attack. It used the most fundamental skill that practically every water elemental had mastery over. Although it was a basic skill, its power was definitely not to be underestimated. The old water elemental had tempered this skill over a long period of time, and had trained it to its peak.
The Battle Aura Wings of Ice spread out behind Jon’s back, lifting him up and drawing an exquisite arc. He dodged the water arrow by a hair’s breadth.
Jon quickly rushed towards the old water elemental.
However, the deep sea water demon flashed in front of him and blocked the way. At the same time, it struck its slender fists towards Jon and attacked with a sonic boom.
Don’t view her in the same way as a feeble and slender female of the human race. She was an advanced race of water demons specialized in close combat. Not only was her physical destructive power astonishing, but the strength of her self-healing ability was also extraordinary. She could easily recover from any terrifying injuries on her body.
“Frozen Point Fist!”
Jon actually felt more comfortable fighting with her than the water elemental guard. She was plenty powerful and possessed strong self-regeneration, so he did not have to be afraid of killing her like he did with the water elemental guard.
Their two fists collided, and a huge force was transmitted through both of their arms to their bodies. The deep sea water demon was sent flying after one punch.
“Elemental Arrow!”
The old water elemental fired another elemental arrow. Right at the same time Jon had sent the deep sea water demon flying, the arrow arrived in front of him. There was no way to dodge or evade.
“Ice Protection!”
A sufficient amount of battle aura surged out to build a defensive shield in front of him, but the water elemental arrow suddenly pierced through his shield!
Jon could not help but be shocked! Ice Protection had evolved from the Mystic Water Shield, and up until now, he had not met an opponent who was able to break Jon’s sole defensive skill. This old water elemental was indeed worthy of its commander-tier title.
After the water elemental arrow broke through Ice Protection and hit Jon’s ice crystal armor, it finally exhausted its remaining energy and dissipated into the air.
“Battle Aura Storm Toss!”
It would be impolite not to reciprocate. Jon threw an elemental storm, directly blowing the old water elemental over.
“Boiling Gift!”
The steam element made its final move, and a steam as hot as lava sprayed at Jon. If he was hit by this move, even the green dinobeast that Jon had defeated not long ago would get fully cooked on the spot.
“Triple Sword Desire! Frozen Point Fist!”
The whistling cold air mixed with combat aura suppressed the high-temperature steam and sent it back. The steam elementalist was surrounded by the ice storm and felt its body temperature dropping rapidly. It even got the feeling that it would devolve back into a water elemental!
“I surrender! I surrender! Please show mercy!”
The steam element cried out in fear and begged for mercy.
Since it had admitted defeat, it was easy to handle. Jon stopped and dispersed the ice storm at once.
The deep sea water demon to the side was injured by Jon after their exchange of blows and was laying on her side to recover. Jon walked up to her and bent down to ask,
“Now, do you admit defeat?”
“Never!” The deep sea water demon immediately raised her head and said angrily.
Swoosh!
Jon pulled out a two-meter-long ice crystal sword.
“Wait!” The deep sea water demon instantly changed her attitude. “Thinking about it carefully, your proposal is very reasonable. I agree to help you attack the energy exchange point.”
That’s right. A wise man submits to his circumstances. Jon gave her a thumbs up.
“Secret Sea Skill, Six Pillars of Light Imprisonment!”
The old water elemental had not actually been knocked out by Battle Aura Storm Toss; it had been lying on the ground waiting for an opportunity. When it saw Jon expose a weak point while talking to the deep sea water demon, it used the binding spell on Jon at once.
“Ice Whirl!”
Jon teleported away from the deep sea water demon. The six pillars of light prison lost its target and trapped the deep sea water demon.
“Ice Whirl!”
Jon used his teleportation skill again and appeared in front of the old water elemental. He raised his fist and punched it.
Swish!
The water elemental’s body was dispersed, but Jon had not hit its crystal core. It would just take some time for it to recover after its body was completely destroyed.
“From now on, what I say goes in this camp. If anyone’s displeased by this, feel free to come and duke it out with me!”
Jon loudly announced his power of discourse from now on over the camp. His voice was filled with an unquestionable tone.
“Yes!”
All the elemental creatures were silent in fear. None of them dared to voice out their grievances. Since Jon could win against the three elders by himself, naturally none of them would be able to object.
“Ding! Devout obedience has been detected. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 points of divine power!”
Jon was immediately taken aback. What the h*ll was divine power? Could it be that he could receive divine power just by taking in underlings? But he was not yet a deity—why would he receive divine power? Could it be that the because of the system he was different from everyone else?
Now that he had the possibility to leave this world, Jon thought about what the steam element had said. If this world would be destroyed because of Jon’s departure, wouldn’t all the monsters here go to waste? Killing monsters in here yielded significantly more rewards than in the outside world.
Jon mulled over it for a while and decided not to leave this place in a hurry. He should kill some more monsters for a while before thinking about leaving.
“Let me ask you, where are the strongest monsters in this place?”
Jon asked the deep sea water demon.
With so many creatures gathered together here, there’s bound to be monsters with great strength in this realm. He ought to thoroughly explore this world.
The deep sea water demon was stunned when it heard the question. After thinking for a while, she answered Jon , “If you’re looking for the strongest monster, that ought to be the Titan Gigantic Ape in the depths of the forest. I once saw it from afar, and it scared me so much that I ran away in a panic.”
Jon’s eyes lit up after hearing this. There truly were incredibly powerful monsters in this world. Thank goodness he had not rashly brought the elemental creatures to attack the energy exchange point. Otherwise, he would have missed that big fellow.
“Alright, then let’s rest up. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the depths of the forest and search for the strength of the Titan Gigantic Ape!”
Jon was very happy. If there were such a powerful creature in the depths of the forest, the rewards from killing it would definitely be exceptional.
The elders felt bitter in their hearts. Not only had they been defeated and lost their commanding position, but they also had to follow that crazy fellow and provoke a monster like the Titan Gigantic Ape. They couldn’t not go—if they went against Jon’s very first decision as the new leader of the camp, they would definitely be killed and used as an example to the rest.
Cough, the elders all sighed. This was truly an unlucky year.
