Self-Awakening, Plant-Based!

Chapter 5 Self-Awakening, Plant-Based!

Having finished his business here, Ling Tianyu hurriedly avoided the noisy crowd and came to another kapok grove. The moonlight was like water, the environment was quiet and serene, and it was quite picturesque.

"Right here, it's about to burst!"

Sitting cross-legged, Ling Tianyu leaned against an old tree, opening his mind and letting the mysterious power in his mind surge through him.

"Ouch~ That's a bit sour and refreshing!"

How to describe Ling Tianyu's feeling? It was as if an invisible knife was going in and out of his soul seven times. An ordinary person with a slightly weaker will would probably faint from the pain.

The first step to self-awakening is to open up the spiritual world, which is the place where magical stardust resides. Most ordinary people awaken their magic around the age of sixteen, and even protagonists like Mo Fan, who are born with dual magical abilities, are no exception.

However, there are exceptions. For example, Mu Ningxue was born with an ice-type spirit seed and successfully awakened it at the age of fourteen. Her early cultivation progress far exceeded that of Mo Fan. She was already a mid-level mage before the crisis in Bo City. Unfortunately, Mo Fan overtook her in the later stages and his cultivation level surpassed hers for a time. After that, their cultivation progress was basically the same.

Half an hour passed, and under intense pain, Ling Tianyu felt like every second was an eternity. His clothes were soaked with sweat, his breathing was heavy, his jaw was clenched, and his long fingers were tightly clenched into fists, with veins bulging.

"Hang in there! I'm going to be the God of Magic!"

Ling Tianyu silently vowed to himself, his ambition blatantly obvious. Now that he had transmigrated to this world, he was determined not to be defeated by mere pain.

Mo Fan's path to growth was fraught with thorns. The crisis in Bo City was just the beginning. From fighting against hundreds of enemies in the Beast Fighting Tournament, to the perilous training at the National Palace, to venturing into Parthenon, exploring the Sahara, venturing into the Taklamakan, and venturing deep into the Tianshan Mountains... every time was a battle against death. The slightest mistake could have meant annihilation. In comparison, Ling Tianyu's suffering was utterly insignificant.

"Since Heaven has bestowed talent upon me, I will surely make a name for myself!"

Fortunately, after much struggle, the sea of ​​his mind was finally opened, and the pain receded like a tide. Ling Tianyu felt a sense of relief, and he lay on his side, completely exhausted, as his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​his mind...

"Buzz!"

The sea of ​​spirit is vast and boundless. At first, it was a chaotic mess, then a flash of green light appeared, resembling the creation of the world by the primordial ancestor Pangu. The hazy scene instantly became clear, revealing a black night sky, resembling the universe.

Meanwhile, outside...

Ling Tianyu emitted a strong green light, which shone on the surrounding plants. All the plants that were affected, whether they were soft weeds on the ground or vines wrapped around tree trunks, grew rapidly at a visible speed, reaching towards Ling Tianyu.

In the vast spiritual universe, only a patch of emerald green stardust shone brightly, making it seem somewhat lonely and desolate.

"Where's my innate dual-elemental ability?" Ling Tianyu was greatly shocked. As a transmigrator, shouldn't being born with dual-elemental abilities be standard? Why is it not right for him? If all else fails, being born with three elements wouldn't be so bad!

Could it be that they died in the womb due to premature birth?

"Never mind, let's see what kind of magic I've awakened first! What kind of magic is it?!"

Fire is red, purple is lightning, and earth is brown. What is emerald green? Healing? Plant? Wind?

It's not wind-related; it's cyan, a lighter shade. Healing colors are light green, but that's not right either. The answer is obvious.

"Plant-based?" Ling Tianyu was taken aback, pondering the relevant knowledge in his magic textbook.

The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Except for the metal element which has not yet appeared, the other elements all have corresponding magic systems. The plant element is also the wood element, but it is classified as white magic, which is very puzzling.

To be honest, Ling Tianyu's ideal awakened magic system is still the violent lightning and fire system. From the initial stage to the forbidden spell, all skills are stable and destructive, which can best demonstrate extraordinary magical power and is also the magic system most people admire.

Awakening is something that depends heavily on talent. It's fair to say that Ling Tianyu wasn't destined for it, so there's no one else to blame.

However, each element has its own way of surviving. For example, the water element is currently undervalued, with only unremarkable defensive skills in the early stages. But in the late game, with rising sea levels and abundant resources, water mages will definitely be in high demand. Another example is the light element. In the early stages, the light element is just a giant light bulb with almost zero damage, making it even more useless than the water element. However, in the ancient capital and the land of the dead in Egypt, the light element is irreplaceable. Many types of undead can only be dealt with by light mages. Moreover, at the super-tier, the light element's Demon Slayer Sword becomes a game-changer, becoming the most powerful single-target spell. In terms of sheer power, even lightning and fire have to take a backseat.

As the saying goes, "There's no such thing as useless magic, only useless magicians!"

Getting back to the main point, let's talk about Ling Tianyu's awakened plant-type abilities: the initial stage is Demonic Vine, the intermediate stage is Kun Forest, and the advanced stage is Ghost Wood Hand. All of his attributes are biased towards control, with a certain degree of destructive power. In the later stages, he could consider developing in the direction of Tang Mou.

In the mental world, only a moment passed, but in the outside world, half an hour had already passed. Ling Tianyu suddenly woke up and found that his vision was pitch black, weeds grew all around him, and the dry, cracked bark of the old tree behind him was slightly green, with green buds sprouting.

Ling Tianyu was not surprised. It is difficult for a magician who awakens early to fully control his powerful magic. He will usually affect the surrounding environment to some extent. Mu Ningxue is a natural spiritual seed. When she awakens, she freezes the area within a radius of tens of meters. Isn't it reasonable for her to promote the growth of nearby plants when she awakens?

"It's getting late, time to go home!"

Ling Tianyu took out his phone and turned it on. Demons are extremely sensitive to electronic devices, so his phone was always off before he went to hunt demons. He guessed that Ye Xinxia was probably very worried.

Sure enough, dozens of messages appeared on his phone screen, all with the same content, inquiring about his safety. Ling Tianyu felt a warmth in his heart and dialed the number.

"Brother Tianyu, are you alright?" Ye Xinxia's gentle voice came through, revealing deep exhaustion.

"This girl!" Ling Tianyu's thousand words boiled down to one sentence: "It's nothing, you should go to sleep early too, it's getting late!"

"Hmm!" A huge weight was lifted from Ye Xinxia's heart, and she immediately felt a surge of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

P.S.: I'll mention the update schedule later. I'll guarantee two updates a day unless there are special circumstances. I'll give advance notice of any extra updates.

Generally, the first chapter is released around noon, and the second chapter is released at midnight.
