Chapter 700: Skill Upgrade
With that, his strength had improved to another level.
Ye Lingchen would be lying if he claimed to have no sense of urgency after knowing the existence of the so-called Void Realm. He did not like to fight battles unprepared, and if he wanted to explore the mystery, being stronger would be an advantage.
Though the Wood Spirit Constitution did not seem to be an offensive skill, its function was unparalleled. It was a special constitution, similar to inherent talent that increased one’s potential. Secondly, he could communicate with plants and trees. That alone allowed him to increase the growth rate of plants, and that was a priceless ability to have!
The next moment, he felt a special force coursing through his body. It was warm and refreshing, livening up the cells all over his body.
Once that heat flow disappeared, a mysterious feeling suddenly appeared in Ye Lingchen’s heart. He felt that the world in his eyes became clearer, and he could clearly feel the sentience emanating from the plants.
That was not all…
Ye Lingchen raised his brows slightly and looked at the big tree nearby. He then slowly stretched out his fingers toward it.
A bizarrely mystical scene soon ensued. The big tree trembled slightly and bent its trunk to lean towards Ye Lingchen. The branches touched Ye Lingchen’s fingers and a feeling of rapport radiated from the big tree.
F*CK!
Ye Lingchen was stunned by his own behavior even though he was already mentally prepared for it. It was truly a magical sight.
He looked at the vines on the tree and waved his hand casually.
The vine then wrapped around the branches of the big tree, just as his thoughts directed.
Awesome!
It was mind-blowing!
Ye Lingchen could feel his excitement growing. Only then did he truly understand how formidable it was to control vegetation.
If he continued cultivating, would it be possible for him to manipulate plants at will? Moreover… Could he transform a desert into an oasis at will as long as he had enough spiritual energy?
The skill was, without a doubt, a truly logic-defying constitution for cultivation!
Without so much as another thought, Ye Lingchen fixed his gaze on Cultivation(Basic).
His Cultivation skill was only at the basic level. Both the speed of his Qi refinement and recovery of his spiritual energy were very slow. If he could increase it to the intermediate level, it would be a qualitative leap, and he could also make better use of his special constitution.
Special constitutions and Cultivation complemented each other. It did not hurt to be stronger.
Dog Language was the only one left in intermediate knowledge, and Ye Lingchen skipped over it at once.
Fifteen elementary knowledges remained: Cultivation(Basic), Cat Language(Basic), Refining: Defense(Basic), Dragon-Catcher Hand(Basic), Bird Language(Basic), Diatribe(Basic), Gastronomy(Basic), Heavenly Voice(Basic), Transfiguration (Basic), Qi Divination (Basic), Water Spirit Constitution(Basic), Dragon Seeking Formula(Basic), Poison Immunity(Basic), Bug Language(Basic), Acupuncture(Basic).
There were more than 13 million popularity points remaining.
Looking greedily at Cultivation, Ye Lingchen chose the intermediate lucky draw excitedly!
One million popularity points were deducted, and the glow flickered crazily, glossing across all 15 skills.
Ye Lingchen stared nervously. There were strong knowledges and weak ones among the 15. It went without saying that he hoped to get something that was actually useful, or better yet, get cultivation.
The rapid change in the glow dazzled Ye Lingchen.
As the speed slowed even more, his heart pounded and held his breath.
Ding!
With a soft sound, the glow finally stopped!
Cat Language(Basic)?
‘F*cking hell, why did he end up with that?!’
The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably and his face was bitter. At the same time, a flash of light transformed Cat Language(Basic) into Cat Language(Intermediate).
Cat Language(Intermediate): Congratulations. You are able to engage in simple conversation with cats.
Damn it! Ye Lingchen burst into tears.
Last time it was Dog Language, and this time it was Cat Language.
Although that skill was considered a magical skill, he did not value those skills as much in comparison to other skills.
Ye Lingchen sighed. He looked at Little White who was rolling on the ground not far away and could not resist calling the tiger over.
“Come here, Little White!”
Little White was briefly taken aback. The snow-white hair all over its body was standing upright as it turned its head around in horror.
It was then that it saw Ye Lingchen.
“Master. Are…are you talking to me?”
“Yes, come here right away,” Ye Lingchen spoke in a very kind manner.
“Wow, Master! You’re so amazing! You can actually talk to me! Wowowowow…” Little White became extremely excited. It moved its limbs around and ran towards Ye Lingchen like a coquettish little girl, while excitement filled its small tiger eyes.
However, just as Little White was within two meters distance from Ye Lingchen, he waved his hand, and the vines from all around immediately slithered like a python and wrapped Little White in a tight grip.
Little White looked at Ye Lingchen with a dazed expression, with the ‘King’ character on his forehead seemingly turning into a question mark.
Ye Lingchen did not say anything more. After briefly venting his feelings on Little White, his mood improved considerably and he reentered the system interface.
‘Hehe, Cat Language?’
It was quite a surprise for the prodigy. In any case, he was loaded with popularity points and was ready to continue with the lucky draw!
The glow appeared again and bounced over all 14 remaining knowledges. It was so quick that Ye Lingchen’s eyes were beginning to hurt.
‘The conclusion is unavoidable, and whether it turns out to be a blessing or a misfortune, I’ll treat it with a calm heart. Let’s see what skills I’ll get this time!’
Ye Lingchen muttered silently in his heart.
Ding!
A soft sound appeared the next moment and the glow finally froze!
Aura Divination(Basic)?
Ye Lingchen cocked his brow slightly. It ended up being a proper skill.
He remembered that Aura Divination’s skill evolved from Fortune Telling and allowed him to see a person’s short-term blessings and misfortunes. He had relied on that to save Xu Wanqing, and that skill proved very useful at certain times.
What would it become after evolving?
Ye Lingchen was slightly puzzled, but a glimmer, Aura Divination had upgraded to intermediate level.
Aura Divination(Intermediate): You can see a person’s entire aura at a glance!
The more pretentious one was, the more difficult it was to grasp that person’s aura.
It was unfortunate that no one was around for him to test that skill.
On second thought however, it should not be that difficult. He only had to look at someone to test it out and obtain the intended effect.
Two million popularity points were used up but it did not produce the effect Ye Lingchen wanted. Just as Ye Lingchen looked at the remaining 11 million popularity points and was considering whether or not to continue the lucky draw, his expression wavered slightly and he saw Xiao Feifei coming over with some of the others.
Ye Lingchen suddenly had a look of surprise when he glanced over.
In Ye Lingchen’s eyes, their entire body was wrapped in a thin layer of Qi, and they all looked weak. Ye Lingchen’s eyes flickered slightly when his gaze landed on Xiao Feifei because her Qi was the weakest.
Was that…everyone’s state?
Ye Lingchen suddenly felt enlightened.
Fatigue, injury, illness, mood, vigor: could all of that be exhibited through a person’s Qi?
…
