Chapter 2101 An Absurd But Valid Solution Lin Mu thought over Lady Kang's words and knew that she was highly likely to be correct. 'They probably want us to use our problem solve skills and proficiency with our immortal sense to obtain the sphere.' Lin Mu reckoned. Lady Kang didn't know what Lin Mu was thinking, but guessed that it was probably a method to solve the problem. "Just follow my lead and we can figure out the pattern of the whirlpools." Lady Kang stated. "I've seen puzzles like these several times before." She added. But before they could proceed with all this, Ashy flew in. ~Chirp~ She landed on Lin Mu's shoulder and spoke. "If you have to get rid of the swirly things… Why don't you just get rid of the lava instead?" Ashy asked tilting her head. It was an innocent question and one would easily be able to tell that it was not a viable solution at first glance. "Move the lava? That would only cause—" but before Lady Kang could finish her words, Lin Mu interrupted her. "Wait… that can actually work!" Lin Mu realized he had forgotten such an obvious solution. Lady Kang could somewhat tell what Lin Mu had thought about and decided to stop him before he made a mistake. "Even if you are thinking to removing the lava, it'll simply make the flow of the currents change for here worse. The currents would close in on the sphere if you remove the lava." Lady Kang replied. "You won't be able to remove a large enough amount of it before the sphere is destroyed. As such destroying the boundary of the lake isn't an option." She explained. "Oh that's not what I meant." Lin Mu said with a smile. "Who said to destroy the lake?" he asked. Lady Kang had thought that Lin Mu intended to remove the lava from the lake but destroying the boundary of the lake and letting the lava flow out into another reservoir. She had seen his attacks create large craters as such thought that he was thinking of using them to make one such reservoir. But Lin Mu's thoughts were completely different. "What do you want to do?" Lady Kang furrowed her brows. "This," Lin Mu said as he dipped his hand into the lava. ~SHUA~ As soon as he did, ripples formed around his arms before a depression appeared. A couple more seconds later, the depression became deeper and the lava around Lin Mu started to flow towards his arm. Watching this, Lady Kang quickly determined what Lin Mu was doing. "Wait… You intend to store the lava in your Spatial Storage tool?" Lady Kang questioned finding it surprising. "I do yes." Lin Mu answered calmly. "Do you know how much lava you will have to store? It'll be a waste, not to mention it can harm the other things you might have in your spatial storage tool." Lady Kang stated finding it absurd. "Oh, I don't need to worry about that." Lin Mu replied. "Besides I have plenty of space." He added. ~SHUA~ And as he said that, a wave of energy spread from his hand as he increased the pace of absorption. ~WHOOSH~ The increase caused a lava to splash around as waves started to intensify. The Lava in the lake tried to reach an equilibrium but because Lin Mu kept on absorbing it, it could not do so. As such it surged towards his hand as if there was an invisible hole there. ~SPLASH~ A gushing sound was heard as the level of lava in the lake started to fall at a visible pace. Lady Kang looked at the lake's edge and saw that it had already reduced by more than a meter! 'Considering the size of the lake… he's moved at least one thousand cubic meters of lava in less than a minute.' Lady Kang was stunned. While she knew that storing lava in Spatial Storage tools was easily possible, the storage capacity would have to be quite great. And what Lin Mu had stored was already big enough to fill most of the average sized tools. But he didn't seem to be stopping any time soon. In fact, the more time passed the faster his pace of absorption got. This was actually due to Lin Mu observing the state of the sphere in the depths of the lava. He didn't want it to be accidentally destroyed and thus he was increasing the rate of absorption at a steady pace. 'I guess I can continue to increase it further.' Lin Mu thought. ~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~ And sure enough, another couple of minutes later the lava in the lake had fallen by more than fifteen meters! "You should get to the shore, I'll handle the rest here." Lin Mu suggested to Lady Kang since the level of the lava kept on falling. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 She had been standing on top of Little Shrubby so far since she wouldn't be able to stand in the lava, but it would be better for her to be away now. "Alright." She decided to trust Lin Mu and see how it all went. 'Never thought I'd see such an absurd method to solve a puzzle like this… though it is still a solution…' she thought herself. It was solution that not everyone would be able to use and those that could were highly limited in number. Lady Kang would be able to do it too if she used all the Spatial Storage tools she had, but there was no way she would use a wasteful method like that. Not to mention, the speed of absorption for her would be slower too and would depend on the type of Spatial Storage tool she had. The better their quality the faster the rate of absorption. 'Though the consumption of Immortal Qi in storing all that would also be higher.' Lady Kang knew. That was one of the reason why this solution would not work for others. But Lin Mu didn't care about all that and continued to do as he pleased.
