Chapter 1690: Chapter 4: Mushroom King Zhao Xing! The Beihai Lord’s Anticipation!

At the same time, golden light burst from the small tree, and a silver treasure light erupted.

The barrier first weakened part of the power, and then further reduced it through the Heavy Water River before it reached Zhao Xing’s chest.

This was a deliberate setup by the Primordial Realm. Having just entered the Small World without any support, the Ministers of Agriculture found themselves facing plant soldiers with great divine powers, an undoubtedly hellish difficulty.

If the challenge was too abnormal, it would lose its purpose as a test.

Thus, the difficulty of subduing this special plant lay in the Heavy Water River, the impact of ’life memory,’ and the innate great divine power attacks.

"Boom!"

Even the weakened attack burned Zhao Xing’s shoulder, exposing the bone inside.

"Buzz~" The treasure light circulated, Treasure Mountain Divine Ability activated, and the body flesh quickly recovered.

However, as the silver light continued to emit treasure light, Zhao Xing’s body recovery ability kept declining.

"If I can’t subdue it within a month, I won’t be able to withstand the attack and will be eliminated," Zhao Xing realized.

"Whoosh~"

A highly intense burning pain arose in Zhao Xing’s mind.

He did not care about the attacks from the silver small tree hitting his body, as he could barely hold on for a month.

Instead, the mental impact during subjugation troubled him more.

"When the spiritual wisdom of plant life is eroded, its free will erupts in strong resistance."

"Not every plant might have spiritual talents, but the ’spirit’ born from such life inherently possesses powerful spiritual might."

"Especially during the invasion process, experiencing everything a plant life living countless years undergoes, from will chaos to the birth of ’spirit,’ I must experience it all."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes, guarding his core self.

If the mind is not strong enough, subduing a soldier type can easily result in the assimilation of consciousness by the plant soldier!

Zhao Xing had seen many Self Sect’s Ministers of Agriculture, who in the end no longer saw themselves as ’humans,’ but as trees, plants, burying themselves in the soil every day.

Or their consciousness was in a daze, with bizarre behavior.

This was the aftereffect of subduing too many soldier types or subduing soldier types that were too strong.

If the Illusion Tree was subdued by oneself, it’s purely by spending money on the ’Water Element Life Contract.’

However, there are always Ministers of Agriculture who lack sufficient preparation or cannot afford such precious magic treasures.

During adventures, sometimes valuable plants are found, yet the preparation is insufficient, and since opportunities arise once lost, some Ministers of Agriculture dare to take the risk.

Thus, the Primordial Realm values spiritual will heavily in their tests.

Zhao Xing soon saw the earlier life of the silver small tree: born under the aegis of a certain Minister of Agriculture in the Primordial Realm, constantly undergoing various experiments, enduring torture, with its life structure continuously changing.

Such ’feeling,’ like having the mighty power of the great path, even altered Zhao Xing’s own life structure.

"Hiss~"

Zhao Xing had to allocate some energy to resist.

In this way, the time he could hold on, originally a month, shortened to half a month.

"Hold it for me!" Zhao Xing growled inwardly, trying to resist.

His vision expanded, his consciousness stubbornly invading every inch of the silver small tree’s life structure.

...

Half a month later.

Zhao Xing woke up from his trance.

Unknowingly, he had already appeared in front of the small tree, and had opened the Origin Projection, with the small tree rooted within his Origin Projection.

Before Zhao Xing could rejoice, the Star Realm immediately updated with a message: [Special plant location updated!]

Then, his location displayed in the star mirrors of all cultivators.

"Run!" Zhao Xing maneuvered his body, quickly surfacing. He needed to move the silver small tree back to his managed territory!

"Mushroom King, hand over the soldier type!" Suddenly, as soon as he surfaced, a voice came from across the river.

Zhao Xing looked up and saw a long-haired man standing mid-air on the opposite bank.

Cloud mist stabilized around him, with cloud rain and thunder revolving about, expanding the dojo’s range significantly.

Could it be that the Mushroom King is indeed addressing him?

It seems that his dojo is indeed weak... Zhao Xing mused quietly.

He thought he had been quite discreet.

"Hand it over, sure." Zhao Xing smiled, "Brother, what’s your name? At least let me know who eliminated me."

"Hong Guang."

"Fellow Hong Guang, where’s your hometown? You seem very familiar, as if we’ve met before..."

"Hmph!"

Hong Guang saw through Zhao Xing’s delay and immediately launched an attack.

If a soldier type subdued by someone else lost its owner, it could be more easily subdued!

Because Zhao Xing bore all the costs, and he, the latecomer, could just reap the fruits.

This was also when Zhao Xing was at his weakest!

"Boom~"

Zhao Xing felt his movement speed become extremely slow.

He looked back, his face turning grim.

For behind Hong Guang, ten dark golden vines of the Third Realm extended!

He was all too familiar with these vine forms, appearing as ten Cloud-climbing Vines, and they were in their mature stage!

"The Small World definitely doesn’t have so many Third Realm Cloud-climbing Vines... How did he obtain so many Small Divine Power Realm Cloud-climbing Vines? And all at Small Divine Power Realm Perfect, seems I’ve encountered a master!"

Zhao Xing turned back, licking his lips. He knew he couldn’t run; the divine skill seeded into the void made him immobile, he had no choice but to fight!

"Mushroom King, hand over the special plant immediately, and you’ll have a chance to challenge others, or you’ll be eliminated!" Hong Guang said coldly.
