Splash! Alex was the first to dive in.
The water was quite chilly, but it wasnât unbearable. It shouldnât be a problem for anyone, even if they
had no powers like Alex. Susan was the one in most discomfort. Since she had just taken a blood
energy pill, the water temperature should be alright for her, but she might need help when it came to
holding her breath underwater.
In just moments, all of them dove in.
Alex was initially worried about Susan. He wanted to ask Waltz to help her out. Unexpectedly, Susan
had made preparations for this, taking a tiny mask and snorkel out.
âAre we diving to the bottom?â Kenneth asked. âWe just tried that earlier. We have no idea how deep
this is. Itâs not just hundreds of meters deep. I donât think most of us could handle such strong water
pressure.â
Everyone froze, thinking about this problem as well.
Alex and Dorothy wouldnât have any problems in this process, but even Waltz, a strong fighter, would
be uncomfortable with such pressure on her lungs if they had to dive thousands of meters down there.
She wouldnât be able to handle it, just like the rest.
Alex said, âWhy donât I go down first? Youâll have to wait for a while.â
However, Maya said, âWait guys. Look, the water level is decreasing.â
Their surroundings were very dim. Hence they couldnât tell that the water level had decreased when
they were floating on the surface.
Looking toward other objects as a reference, they realized that it was indeed decreasing at a rapid
pace. Susan seemed shocked and said, âWho wouldâve thought⦠What a complicated machine?â
They had brought waterproof flashlights, so they could be switched on underwater. They watched as
the walls rose rapidly and continued to lower to the bottom.
Quincy was worried. âThis place is so deep. Itâd be hard to go back up there once weâve reached the
bottom.â
Waltz replied. âWhat are you worried about? Itâll be fine in the end. Even if you could go back up there,
you wouldnât be able to escape. Did you want to feed those poisonous bugs?â
Although the water levels were decreasing quickly, it was still much slower than falling from the top. It
felt quite uncomfortable to be in the water for long periods. Hence Alex and Dorothy leaped out and
stood on the waterâs surface as if light as a feather.
Everyone envied their powerful skills and abilities, even Kenneth, the legendary thief who was known
for his strong Feather Walk, wouldnât be able to stand on water with such ease.
However, Quincy was still as arrogant as ever, asking, âMr. Rockefeller, I remember your skills were still
around my level a few months ago, around Mystic rank, right? It hasnât even been six months yet youâre
this powerful already? Are you a grandmaster now?â
Waltz buffed. âYouâve underestimated him.â
Quincy froze, his eyes widened. âCould he have achieved⦠Martial Honor?â
Waltz seemed proud. âA Martial Honor probably wouldnât stand a chance against my brotherâs skills!â
âHoly sh*t! Heâs a Martial Saint?!â
Just then, Zayne spoke up. âBrother, stop making assumptions. Mr. Rockefellerâs skills have exceeded
martial artists like us. If Iâm seeing this right, Mr. Rockefeller, and his aunt are probably what we call
cultivators, just as the legends say.â
With this, Freyaâs eyes lit up as she looked towards Alex and Dorothy.
The Exorcist Dragons were considered cultivators as well.
However, their cultivation was different from most cultivators, where they relied on the natural gift within
their blood. The other Mayers without the innate powers within had no other way to master the Nine
Symbol Incantation.
Alex looked towards Zayne and said, âMr. York, youâve probably started cultivating, right?â
Zayne smiled sadly. âActually, our great grandmasters in the Drifters clan used to be cultivators as
well.â
Upon hearing this, Quincy gasped loudly. He had no idea about this.
Zayne nodded. âIâm telling the truth. Our master told us this before he passed. He even passed down
one of those skills to me. However, these skills of the Drifters clan have been passed down for
millenniums. All these skills were lost during the war, and master only managed to hand me half of our
Drifter Skill Book. â
