After entering the cave, everything turned bright all of a sudden. They were out of the water as well.
This place looked like a palace made from ice, filled with large and glittering crystals. Alex and Fairy
Doctor were absolutely shocked to see their surroundings since it was the first time they came here.
âWhere is this place? And what⦠Are these rocks?â asked Fairy Doctor asked as she touched the
crystal wall at the side. It was⦠Abnormally cold.
âGosh, itâs freezing!â she flinched.
Alex touched it as well. It was indeed freezing cold. He could even sense a tiny bit of frosty Chi in it.
He then expressed his shock. âItâs because these are spiritual ice stones. Theyâre a pretty good training
material for anyone training in martial arts that consist of ice or frost. Since thereâs so many here, those
martial artists would have greatly improved their power if they were to sit and meditate here.â
Martiny was surprised. âAlex, you know about these? I didnât even recognize them the first time.â
Alex nodded. âToo bad itâs here in Japan.â
âIf this were America, I wouldâve considered building a house nearby so we could move in.â
âThis place is ideal for both Mom and Mayaâs training.â
However, since he couldnât take the stones either, he decided not to think any further.
Martiny said, âWe would be within the range of the formation circle further ahead. Nora and the others
are currently stuck in there, so they probably wonât be getting out within the next day.â
âAre they trapped in the formation?â asked Alex.
Martiny replied, âYouâll know once we get there⦠But Iâm not all that familiar with formations either.
Back then, I had to use my dragon Chi to break through as well, but it seems that the formation here
automatically switches positions from time to time. So weâll have to combine powers and see if we can
make a larger entrance. Iâll be able to save the first person once weâre five meters in! Donât worry, just
follow my steps.â
Fairy Doctor fell silent and looked towards Alex.
Alex looked around, saying, âOh, this is an Elemental trap. Itâs pretty easy to solve.â
âUh..?â Martiny stopped in her tracks upon hearing this. âWhat did you just say?â
âAunt Martiny, please come back here first. Thatâs not the right position. Itâll be very draining. We have
to enter from here,â Alex said.
He then turned toward the left and walked into the formation.
Then⦠Nothing happened. Everything was fine.
Martiny froze in place, watching him in disbelief. Last time, she had to force into this formation using all
of her might, even having to waste some of her dragon Chi for this. She nearly fainted from fatigue, yet
Alex walked right in with such ease.
âUgh, itâs so annoying comparing myself to others!â
Alex could sense what was happening within the formation as soon as he entered.
Nora and the others were indeed trapped within, but they were in a bad state. All of them had become
blocks of ice as if they were ice sculptures, frozen in unnatural positions.
Fairy Doctor shrieked in horror.
âWhy are they like this? Are they all dead?â
Alex said, âDonât worry, theyâre still alive.â
He could sense their Chi, hence it was safe to say that they were merely stuck. With the nearest ice
statue to them being Nora, he chuckled lightly and said, âNow this is getting fun. Nora Stewart is now
Nora Frostart.â
Upon saying this, he noticed Noraâs eyes twitching slightly, despite being frozen.
Martiny brought out a hammer, which shocked Alex. It wasnât some mystical tool or treasure but a good
old regular hammer. So he couldnât understand why she would bring along something like this.
Now, she was about to swing it towards Nora.
âHey, hey, hey! Donât break it like that. You should never break it like that!â
Alex stopped her immediately. âSheâs still alive. If you hit her with that, she could actually die.â
âWhat?â
