After the tests for the lightning and wind essences, came the test of water essence. As the kid-like lightning elemental had stepped back, the water elemental with the appearance of a middle-aged man took his place.
Instead of warning the participants of the incoming attack like the other two elementals had done, he quietly waved his hand, and forced the humidity in the surroundings to condense around the bodies of the cultivators in blue robes, as well as those in white robes with blue stripes.
The purpose of this test was not for the cultivators to avoid drowning, as their brains would be able to survive without oxygen for years at their current level of cultivation. The true test consisted in surviving what came next.
The water of which these spheres of water were made of, quickly began to seep into the pores and orifices of the participant's bodies, threatening to fill their lungs, and even try to replace their blood.
