Chapter 86 sequel: Plant-based metamorphosis

On the way back, Ling Tianyu walked to Yangpu Bridge and saw the shimmering river surface reflecting the splendor of Shanghai.

The summer night breeze was blowing, but it couldn't ease the chill in Ling Tianyu's heart.

Leaning against the bridge railing, Ling Tianyu gazed into the distance, where the tip of the Oriental Pearl Tower was faintly visible.

"Beep beep beep~"

Ling Tianyu took out his phone and answered the call.

"Ling Tianyu, you're on the other side of the Huangpu River, right?" Lingling's voice was unusually calm, even a little unnatural. "That's exactly what my computer shows!"

"You know?" Ling Tianyu asked in return.

"..." After a moment of silence, Lingling's voice trembled slightly, "I understand, he's not my father. Even if this demon can peer into his memories, there are some things he can never replicate."

"My dad has a small scar on his neck from when I was a child, a scratch I gave him. He doesn't know it, but I felt guilty about it for a long time. Of course, based on that alone, I only have suspicions. Do you remember what I asked that imposter for?"

"You mean... you're not going to school?" Ling Tianyu suddenly realized.

"That's right, no matter how much my father loves me, he would never let me neglect my studies! A fake is still just a fake, and there's a big difference between it and the real thing." Lingling finished speaking, her voice choked with emotion as she asked, "Ling Tianyu, what do you know? Otherwise, how could you go to the other side of the Huangpu River? How is my real father?"

"..." This time it was Ling Tianyu's turn to hesitate, but he finally said, "Lingling, please accept my condolences!"

Splash splash splash~

As Ling Tianyu finished speaking, the birds resting in the distant bushes seemed to be startled and took flight.

…………

Those four simple words shattered all of Lingling's psychological defenses. No matter how mature she was, or how old-fashioned her tone, it couldn't hide the fact that she was just a child.

With a shudder, Lingling collapsed weakly onto the bed, her petite body trembling as memories of her time with her father flashed through her mind.

There are countless memories of falling asleep on my father's broad shoulders at night, the excitement of my first demon hunt, and the bitter resentment of being caught skipping school by my father for the first time...

Now everything is in vain. Her father is gone, and there is no one to keep her company through the long nights, no one to encourage her as she grows up...

"Lingling, do Sister Leng Qing and Old Man Bao know about this?" Ling Tianyu asked.

"I don't know, I can't contact them." As she spoke, Lingling's crystal tears slid down her cheeks and onto the bed, leaving watermarks.

"You're the only person I can confide in..."

"Actually, your father might still have a chance to be resurrected. As far as I know, the Cold Hunter King's soul didn't disappear; it was collected and used for other purposes. There might be a chance for him to be resurrected in the future," Ling Tianyu sighed softly, trying to comfort him.

"Really?" Lingling perked up, as if she had grasped a lifeline and asked back.

"More real than real gold!" Ling Tianyu guaranteed. "You wouldn't want your father to see you like this, so dejected, after he's resurrected, would you?"

………………

"Boom!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Tianyu looked up and saw a plane landing at the airport. In the distance, cars were flowing. At this moment, no one knew that a hunter king had fallen here.

Ling Tianyu exhaled a breath of stale air and turned to leave the Pudong Bridge.

…………

Although Cold Hunter King was murdered, Ling Tianyu did not forget his purpose.

"Here it is!" Ling Tianyu arrived at a dark grove of trees. At this time, the place was deserted, making it more convenient to do anything.

A burst of silver light appeared in front of Ling Tianyu, and a huge corpse fell in front of him.

"A mutated Crimson Demon, if such defensive power were added to a plant, tsk tsk, the power..." Ling Tianyu was filled with anticipation, and summoned vines to wrap the corpse tightly.

Since breaking through to the intermediate level, his [Plunder] talent has evolved, gaining another effect: grafting demonic talents onto plant-based plants, and this effect can coexist with effects such as spirit seeds and soul seeds.

However, the downside is that this effect has many limitations. For example, it can only plunder the talents of demons of the corresponding level. If the talent is too low, it will be useless or weaken the effect. If the talent is too high, it will cause physiological distortion and turn the demon into a real demon.

Furthermore, there is a limit to the number of times. For example, right now, Ling Tianyu only has one talent slot in the intermediate-level plant category, which means it can only accommodate one talent.

To wield the power of demons while in human form presents considerable limitations.

Of course, if successful, his plant-based magic will be further enhanced, rendering magic of the same level helpless against it! Even higher-level magic will find it difficult to destroy.

"Plunder!" Ling Tianyu roared, and the demon's corpse transformed into a wondrous power that surged into his body, flowing into his sea of ​​consciousness and entering the plant-based nebula...

"Buzzing!"

This power, which we will temporarily call the innate power, gently nourishes the plant nebula like a stream and guides the transformation of the body.

Each star within the nebula greedily absorbs innate energy. Upon closer inspection, mysterious patterns can be seen emerging on its surface, representing innate runes that can be activated by magical energy to aid in combat.

At first, it's a bit clumsy to master, and the mana consumption is about 50% higher than ordinary spells of the same level. Later, as your proficiency increases, you should be able to consume mana at the same rate as other mages.

The above are just snippets of information that Ling Tianyu learned during a trip to the library. In the past, there had been people who had awakened similar talents, but in the end, they were harmed by their own greed. They plundered multiple demon talents at once and eventually mutated into a real demon.

This incident also served as a warning to Ling Tianyu: before his cultivation level reaches a certain point, he must never be greedy and go astray.

Outside, Ling Tianyu's entire body shone with a brilliant azure light, radiating astonishing vitality. The azure vines that were wrapped around the demon's body underwent changes. The changes on the outside were limited, but every inch of the inside was transforming and evolving. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a complete metamorphosis!

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Tianyu opened his eyes, a bluish light appearing in them.

"Demon Vine!" Ling Tianyu summoned the verdant vine, grabbed both ends, and pulled hard, but it didn't budge.

"Buzz!" The Taihong Sword was extremely sharp and could break through the defenses of a warrior. When Ling Tianyu slashed down, the vines still only had a small gap.

"The effect is excellent. Although my cultivation level has not improved and I am still at the second level of the middle rank, my actual strength has greatly increased. Within the same level, even the fourth level of the middle rank lightning and fire magic may not be able to harm my plant magic vine!" Ling Tianyu nodded in satisfaction. Plant magic is already incredibly powerful, and with its unparalleled resilience within the same rank, it is hard to find an opponent within the middle rank!

Previously, although Ling Tianyu's plant magic vines were resilient, they were still somewhat powerless against powerful generals or even stronger advanced-stage warriors. But now, after activating his talent runes, they have no chance of breaking free!
