Walker Of The Worlds

The inability to fly became a major hindrance to Monk Hushu and Crown Princess Shang in the Trial.

Unlike the frozen wasteland and the volcanic region, they didn't have solid ground everywhere to walk on. They tried to use their immortal sense to tell what place was 'solid' enough, but the area seemed to be making it hard to do that with its unique properties.

Their immoral sense seemingly became muffled as it entered the mushy soil, and the muddy waters of the marshland.

Monk Hushu found it strange and looked more into it, before realizing that there was some kind of energy permeating the entire place. This was the energy that made it hard for their Immoral sense to work when going through materials.

The two weren't ones to back down just from this and started exploring the trial grounds.

It didn't take them long to encounter the enemies after that, as they seemingly rose out of the ground as well as the water.

They were shaped like Alligators, large frogs as well as insects like Dragonflies, Water Striders and more creatures that one might find in a marsh.

These mud beasts were also hard to kill due to them regenerating. But here, Crown Princess Shang seemed to have an advantage. Since she was proficient in both fire and wood elements, it allowed her to sense the energies of the mud creatures better.

Due to it being a swamp, there was still wood element mixed into it, which also mixed into the bodies of the mud beasts. This allowed Crown Princess Shang to pinpoint the energy cores of the mud beasts, finally figuring out a method of killing them.
