Lin Mu could feel a massive presence forming in the lake.

The presence was strong enough that one didn't even need to have an affinity to the fire element to sense it. The same was the case for Lady Kang and Little Shrubby, they too felt the presence and knew that it was going to be a tough battle ahead of them.

'Considering its sheer size, it will take at least a quarter of the lake's size.' Lin Mu estimated before his gaze went to the iron key in the central platform. The place that the platform was forming was right next to it, and with the rising lava mound, Lin Mu felt worried about the key.

'Considering this is a trial, there should be fail conditions too… If we let that key get damaged, we'll probably fail it.' Lin Mu grasped and decided to prevent that from happening.

~SHUA~

Then in the next moment he disappeared, appearing at the central platform. "Teleportation?" Lady Kang witnessed Lin Mu's sudden movement and knew what it was. "But to do it so effortlessly… His proficiency with Space is indeed quite good… If he really was using all his skills during the tournament, others simply would not have lasted more than a minute." She muttered to herself.

In fact, she thought that even for her going up against Lin Mu would be a difficult task. Lin Mu's spatial abilities gave him superior maneuverability as well as the ability to dodge basically every attack that came his way.

'The only way it would be possible to go against him would be to let him exhaust himself. Using Spatial Skills is not easy and costs quite a lot of Qi after all.' Lady Kang thought to herself, not knowing that she was wrong.

Though her assumption was wrong only in the case of Lin Mu. If it were any other cultivator, using spatial skills would indeed cost quite a lot of Qi. Then there was the fact that she didn't know the true extent of Lin Mu's Spatial abilities. He hadn't revealed all of them yet.

While she was thinking all this, Lin Mu had taken hold of the iron key. His immortal sense scanned the key closely and found that it was indeed just a basic iron key. Something which could be easily damaged by an attack, or melt if it fell in the lava around it.

In fact, the key was actually quite hot from the surrounding heat. If a mortal were to touch it, their skin would become charred.

~SHUA~

"There we go," Lin Mu said, safely storing the key away in the ring.

~SPLASH~

And just as he did that, a large glob of lava fell right where the key had been a moment ago.

"Yeah, it was the right decision to get the key." Lin Mu muttered, knowing just how close to failure they had been. "Though it's not over yet… gotta get rid of this thing too." He said looking up at the mound of lava that had now taken on a proper shape.

This lava slug was several times bigger than the previous giant lava slugs and also had a different body type. It had two heads that were attached to a singular flat body that was about two hundred meters long!

It then had black rocky spikes that covered its back, and extended all the way to its heads. On its head, it had two pairs of eyes each that glowed in a bright orange light. Its mouths were large and cavernous, filled with sharp and spiky teeth that were made from dark obsidian.
