Battle of Elements
Luke looked behind him only to see a guy in a hoody with his face covered in a mask, it had red and white stripes with 3 holes, 2 for eyes and 1 for his mouth.
Right after Luke looked at him he did something with his arm, he swung it in a horizontal direction right at Luke with his hand extending outwards. Although Luke didn't know what he was doing he reacted quickly.
"RISE!"
He made a pillar of earth, although the street was covered with pavement it wasn't too difficult to bust through it. When the pillar stopped rising he was about 12 feet in the sky, then he felt like he was dropping, he was only about 9 feet up now, 'Thank God I didn't make a wall, he would've sliced right through it and then slice Luke in half.
"It seems like you aren't too weak after all, don't disappoint me", his voice was raspy like he had lost it or he hadn't used it in a long time.
The next thing he did surprised Luke, he started to jump in mid-air, when he was doing that Luke was sure that he used the air around him to fight. Then a notification showed up in Luke's mind.
-------
Quest - Defeat the wind user or escape him(escaping will lessen the reward.)
Reward - Gain insight into the wind qi element.
Punishment - ???
Time Limit - N/A
-------
Luke immediately accepted it, 'If I can't win or escape I'll probably die anyway so might as well.'
Luke's mind then snapped back to reality where the other guy was about to reach him, he then made a downward ramp reaching the ground and made it kind of muddy so he could slide down it which he did.
He then slid down the ramp and when he reached the bottom looked back and saw the guy going down the ramp he made, he then started to make the floor muddy and then put qi on his feet to make it so he can slide like he's on ice, then he really picked up the speed, while he was doing this he was destroying the mud behind him so he could use the same thing as him again.
Then he heard something behind him, "You think you're the only one who can go fast", Luke then looked behind him to see the guy going unbelievably fast just by running, but when Luke looked closer he saw his using the air to make him go faster, he then shot out another blade of air.
Luke ducked quickly and then the air went right above him barely missing his skin but hitting his hair he now had a bald spot on the back of his head. Luke saw that he was about to catch up so he pulled out his last trump card, he transformed back into a worm.
He started to morph into a worm which took the other guy by surprise, first his head became a worm head, then his body, and finally his legs. He then became a worm but he didn't stop there. He did the thing that worms were best at, he started eating the dirt!
He was making the dirt as soft as possible so he could eat it faster, he was digging down so fast that his digging speed was faster than the other guys running, but the other guy was determined he fell into the hole Luke had made to chase him and pushed wind behind him so he would slide down faster.
Luke could hear him going down faster and catching up to him so he started to eat faster, 'FASTER, FASTER LUKE, FASTER. EAT LIKE IT'S A CHINESE ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET', with him pushing himself to go faster and faster in his mind he started eating like a sumo wrestler. The other guy was very surprised at how fast he was digging since he was a lot slower a second ago, but he didn't stop either he then started to jump while going down making platforms of air to jump off so he could propel himself even faster down the hole and he started putting more qi into the wind behind him.
Soon Luke started to realize that the food he was eating was soft on its own without him doing anything so he was confused, but he kept eating anyway, soon Luke took a bite without looking and then felt a push of water hitting him, he had dug into the seabed!
Although he realized what was happening he kept on going anyway switching back to the human form so he could swim faster, when the water hit the other guy he realized what happened as well, 'Whatever he won't survive the ocean, even master spirit realm cultivators can't survive down there for a day, he's done for. Mission accomplished', He then started to climb back up so he wouldn't get sucked into the ocean.
Meanwhile Luke was drowning in the ocean, 'Is this how I die?'
'Quest completed host has successfully escaped the wind user, minor insight into the winning element gained!'
'Well at least there's that, doesn't matter much since I'm gonna die anyway', Luke was thinking over his life so far at least all that he had unlocked, and when he was giving up hope and ready to accept death, he saw something huge, he immediately used inspect on it.

Luke saw that the stats were all blocked out and then he knew he had lucked out, he then transformed into the worm and took a nice juicy bite out of it, luckily the creature looked like it was dying so the creature didn't fight back.
-------
Gained 250 gene points
-------
Luke was amazed at how many he got and then took another bite soon after.
-------
Gained 250 gene points
-------
'The host has gathered enough gene points to evolve would he please choose one of the option(s) below?'
-------
1. Baby Black Sea Turtle
2. Baby Blue Sea Serpent
3. Baby Water Dragon
-------
Luke looked at the options he had little time before he passed out so he quickly read them and after reading the last one immediately clicked on it, 'How could a water dragon be worse than a turtle or snake?'
'Processing...done.'
'Evolution commencing.'
'3'
'2'
'1'
Luke wasn't sure if he passed out because of not being able to breathe or because of the evolution, but he was sure that he would survive this, for now.
