Chapter 110: Chapter 109: Ability Development (Additional Update for Monthly Pass)

Watching the Elemental Spirit’s earnest little expression, Shao Zifeng nodded with satisfaction.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to first try out his ideas about skill development, as for talent shaping, he could always check the Elemental Spirit’s condition during training to summarize which actions would cause the progress bar of talent shaping to rise.

“Elemental Spirit, release a tiny Wood Thorn,” Shao Zifeng decided and didn’t hesitate, as soon as the words left his mouth, he added, “Even finer and smaller than the one you released last time.”

“Hee.”

The Elemental Spirit pulled at Shao Zifeng’s ear dissatisfiedly, its originally pale-green cheeks turning even greener, seemingly unhappy about being reminded of its dark history.

However, without much hesitation, the Elemental Spirit’s eyes shimmered, and the room’s plants swayed, visible green elements gathered in front of the Elemental Spirit, forming a sharp little Wood Thorn.

...

The Elemental Spirit held the Wood Thorn in one hand, swinging it left and right a few times, then, presenting it like a treasure, offered it to Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng took the Wood Thorn, the dark green spike was about ten centimeters long, like a sharp wooden stick.

The texture felt to the hand just like touching an actual piece of wood, the rough texture and weight didn’t seem at all like something condensed from elements.

Handing the Wood Thorn back to the Elemental Spirit, Shao Zifeng patted its little head gently and spoke warmly, “Do you still remember how you absorbed the vitality of trees before you hatched? Try now and see if you can absorb all the wooden elements from this Wood Thorn.”

The Elemental Spirit cocked its little head to think for a moment, then fixed its gaze on the Wood Thorn in its hands, and a hint of green light flashed in its eyes.

An invisible suction came forth, and the Wood Thorn instantly disintegrated into the purest wooden elements and merged into its body, leaving not a trace behind.

Shao Zifeng looked at the Elemental Spirit’s empty hands, his brow slightly furrowed.

According to his idea, he had hoped that after the Elemental Spirit absorbed the elements from the Wood Thorn, some sawdust or dust would be left behind, but unexpectedly the Wood Thorn, once condensed from elements and absorbed, turned back into elements without leaving any trace.

He couldn’t quite understand why, considering the texture of the Wood Thorn felt exactly like a real branch, with no sense of illusion, why there was no residue left after absorption.

The room was quiet, and the Elemental Spirit, seeing Shao Zifeng deep in thought, felt a bit uneasy, not knowing if its actions had made Shao Zifeng unhappy.

After contemplation for a moment with no clue, Shao Zifeng decided not to ponder any longer; he would perform more experiments to find the reason, “Elemental Spirit, use the Thorny Whip, make it a bit smaller like last time.”

“Hee!”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

The Elemental Spirit did not hesitate, its eyes glittering green, it flicked its little hand into a pose, and a small vine whip covered with sharp thorns appeared in its hand, which it held and whipped through the air a few times, making crisp cracking sounds.

This time, without looking, Shao Zifeng immediately ordered, “Just like before, retract the elemental power.”

A moment later, Shao Zifeng sighed.

“It’s still not working, as expected, it’s not as simple as I imagined for a Combat Training Master to develop new abilities,” Shao Zifeng felt somewhat disappointed, as it was his first attempt at developing a new ability and his earlier confidence was doused by reality.

He sat on the bed with his eyebrows tightly knit, and the Elemental Spirit flew onto his shoulder to sit, gently rubbing its little face against his, seemingly to comfort him.

“I’m fine, you’ve worked hard just now,” Shao Zifeng poked the Elemental Spirit’s little belly with his finger, the Elemental Spirit, ticklish, laughed and rolled around on his shoulder.

“Right, I wonder if this attempt has added to the shaping progress,” Shao Zifeng murmured, playing with the little creature with his fingers, turning to look at the Elemental Spirit on his shoulder, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and the Elemental Spirit’s information appeared before Shao Zifeng again.

As expected, in the talent section, the progress for the Thorny Forest talent had increased from three percent to four percent. The other talents had also grown slightly, with Plant Control directly increasing to seven percent.

Plant Control.

Shao Zifeng looked at the swaying plants all over the room, deep in thought.

“Elemental Spirit, absorb the woody elements from the plants in the room,” he said.

“Hee!”

…

“Zifeng, it’s time to get up for breakfast.”

Early the next morning, Shao’s mother got out of bed to prepare breakfast. When she guessed it was about time, she went to wake Shao Zifeng.

“Coming, mom. Good morning.”

Shao Zifeng came downstairs with dark circles under his eyes, yawning from time to time.

Seeing this, Shao’s mother was a bit worried, “What’s wrong, not used to sleeping at home?”

“It’s fine, I just went to bed late last night,” Shao Zifeng mumbled, spitting out the toothpaste foam from his mouth.

“Really, staying up late is not good. You’re young now and don’t know to treasure it, but you’ll regret it when you’re old, blah blah blah.”

Amidst his mother’s nagging, Shao Zifeng quickly finished his breakfast, picked up his travel bag and said, “Mom, I’m going out, I’ll be back before lunch.”

Without waiting for Shao’s mother to reply, he ran out of the house quickly.

Qiqi glanced at Shao’s mother and tiptoed against the wall, also wanting to follow and play outside.

“Qiqi!”

“Meow~”

Qiqi shuddered all over, and seeing Shao’s mother’s displeased face, she dropped her head in grievance.

…

Shao Zifeng’s house was located near the outer ring of Dragon City County, to the northwest was a small hillock of a hill, and there was a forest at the foot of the hill where Shao Zifeng planned to continue his training today.

After several experiments the day before, he didn’t achieve the results he wanted, so he thought it over and decided to try a different approach.

He wanted to try letting elemental spirits directly extract the vitality of plants. At home, there were some flowers and plants his mother tended to, but Shao Zifeng didn’t dare to target those, so he had to wait until daylight to try in the wilderness.

The small forest at the foot of the hill had a rather uniform planting of trees, all poplars that were planted when farmland was returned to forest years ago. These poplars had the advantage of being drought-resistant, very suitable for the northern land, but the flying catkins in March and April were really bothersome.

Entering the poplar forest, it was a bit different from what Shao Zifeng remembered. Over a decade had passed, and the small woods could no longer be called small; the poplars were tall and straight, resulting in very little space between the trees.

After walking a bit farther to ensure he wouldn’t be disturbed, Shao Zifeng stretched out his hand to summon the deer and the elemental spirits.

“Yo!”

“Heehee.”

As wood-affiliated creatures, they really liked the environment here. The deer’s eyes were sparkling, and then… it skillfully lay down beside Shao Zifeng’s feet, gnawing at his pant leg.

Shao Zifeng was speechless for a moment. Seeing its excited looks, he had thought it would spare his poor pants, but no such luck.

His pant leg was nearly chewed through.

The elemental spirit joyfully darted between the trees, not flying far, just flitting around near Shao Zifeng.

“Stop playing, elemental spirit, try to absorb this tree.”

“Heehee!”
