Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Sister Has Something Up

With the appearance of the Willow Wood Martial Soul, endless vitality and Wood Attribute Energy enveloped Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen tried to use his Soul Power to communicate with the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy, and he quickly found that peculiar sensation.

At the same time, every scene related to the Wood Attribute from the very beginning of his cultivation began to surface in his mind.

The surrounding Wood Attribute Energy shuttled back and forth over his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene truly shocked Li Nian’er.

Li Nian’er never expected Ye Qingchen to grasp Wood Attribute Energy so quickly. Looking at his current state, it was clear the Wood Attribute Energy was transforming his body.

This was indeed the case. Inside Ye Qingchen’s sea of qi, where only pure white Spirit Crystals had once floated, a hint of emerald green had now appeared.

This was the very transformation that marked his growing mastery over the Wood Attribute.

Of course, Ye Qingchen was immersed in an epiphany, completely oblivious to the changes within his body.

Li Nian’er sat not far from him, propping up her chin. Her doll-like face alternated between expressions of surprise, contemplation, and confusion.

She was now witnessing Ye Qingchen’s unparalleled perception and cultivation talent firsthand.

Li Nian’er herself was a proud individual. She had already mastered the use of nature’s spiritual energy when she was at the Seventh Layer of the Martial King Realm.

Then, upon breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm, she had spent half a year just to sense Water Attribute Energy. She spent another half a year to completely master it, achieving this as she broke through to the Second Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm.

However, Ye Qingchen had only just grasped nature’s spiritual energy less than half a month ago, yet he had already sensed Wood Attribute Energy. If this trend continued, it might only take a few days for him to completely convert all the energy in his body into Wood Attribute Energy.

Time passed, and Ye Qingchen remained in his state of epiphany, not waking.

Meanwhile, a few of the Spirit Crystals in his sea of qi had already completely transformed to an emerald green.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but just then, the Dual Pupil Martial Soul, which had been dormant in Ye Qingchen’s sea of consciousness, suddenly spat out a stream of strange energy, shattering his epiphany. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Only then did Ye Qingchen regain his senses and notice the changes within his body.

When he saw the few emerald-green Spirit Crystals inside him, he too was profoundly shaken.

"You’re awake?"

Seeing Ye Qingchen furrow his brow, Li Nian’er stood up, walked over to his side, and said, "You’re really lucky. To fall into an epiphany on your first time sensing Attribute Energy, and for seven whole days at that! Your gains must have been immense."

Ye Qingchen opened his eyes and saw Li Nian’er’s smiling face. The titillating scene from the riverbank flashed through his mind, and his face flushed slightly. He quickly stood up, forcibly pushing the chaotic thoughts from his head.

Afterward, Ye Qingchen circulated his Cultivation Technique, attempting to mobilize the emerald-green energy within him. A moment later, a green point of light appeared at his fingertip, pulsing steadily.

Li Nian’er stared at the green point of light in shock. Although it was still weak, it was undeniably Wood Attribute Energy.

Junior Brother actually mastered Wood Attribute Energy in just one week? Is that even humanly possible? And he’s only at the Fifth Layer of the Martial King Realm! On the entire Heaven Desolate Continent, no one has ever grasped Attribute Energy before the Martial Emperor Realm, let alone at the mere Fifth Layer of the Martial King Realm!

Soon, the green point of light on Ye Qingchen’s fingertip vanished. It wasn’t because he deliberately retracted it, but because merely maintaining it for a moment had consumed a third of his body’s Spiritual Energy. He was finally unable to sustain the green light once the few green Spirit Crystals in his sea of qi were completely drained.

What puzzled Ye Qingchen was that he hadn’t felt anything special when he produced the green point of light.

Also, why did the Dual Pupil Martial Soul suddenly interrupt my epiphany? Something like this has never happened before.

Of course, Ye Qingchen would not tell Li Nian’er about the Dual Pupil Martial Soul. He only voiced his confusion about the green point of light.

Li Nian’er gave Ye Qingchen a look one might give an idiot and said, "That’s Attribute Energy. Let me put it this way: if your original Spiritual Energy is a withered twig, then Attribute Energy is a Fine Steel Sword. You should understand the difference now, right? You’ve only just grasped Wood Attribute Energy, so you can only summon it, not use it yet. But don’t worry. As time goes on, you’ll accumulate more and more Wood Attribute Energy in your body, and then you’ll naturally be able to utilize it."

Only then did Ye Qingchen nod in relief. He asked Li Nian’er, "Senior Sister Nian’er, what’s our next step in cultivation?"

Li Nian’er was momentarily stunned. In truth, she had no plan for Ye Qingchen’s cultivation; she was making it up as she went along. Now that he had even mastered Attribute Energy, she really couldn’t think of anything else she could teach him.

However, Li Nian’er would never reveal her true thoughts to Ye Qingchen. After all, admitting it would be too embarrassing for her as his senior sister.

So, after a moment’s thought, she said, "This phase of your training with me has come to an end. I have some things to attend to, so I can’t continue to guide you. Let’s return to the Divine Wood Academy now and have your two senior brothers take over your training!"

Ye Qingchen looked at Li Nian’er in surprise. "Senior Sister, we agreed on half a month. Why are we going back after only a week? Did I do something to make you angry?"

Li Nian’er pursed her lips and said irritably, "I’m not feeling well, alright? Come on, let’s go back."

Ye Qingchen looked at her with concern. "Senior Sister, I’m actually an Alchemist and quite proficient in the medical arts. If you’re not feeling well, I can take a look for you."

Li Nian’er shot Ye Qingchen a glare, turned, and started walking away. "It’s my period, satisfied?" she called back over her shoulder.

Ye Qingchen was left speechless. He could only assume that Li Nian’er was still angry about the incident at the riverbank, so he didn’t dare ask any more questions. He simply followed behind her, heading in the direction of the Divine Wood Academy.

The entire way back, Ye Qingchen pondered the recent change in his Dual Pupil Martial Soul.
