Fang Chen stared down at the Mud Pit. The bubbles that had been rising from it stopped, and the Mud inside ceased churning. Before his eyes, the Mud solidified and turned to rock.
Frowning, Fang Chen landed on the Mud Pit and struck it with the Floating Immortal Sword.

Sparks flew. The Floating Immortal Sword left a deep gouge in the Mud Pit, but a powerful jolt ran up Fang Chen's arm, leaving it numb.
"It hardened?"
Fang Chen was startled. Why had the Mud Pit solidified?

Fang Chen thought to himself that without Twilight Power, he could never have broken free of those roots. He would probably have been dragged through that membrane by now.
