Chapter 1039: Green Wood Dragon Transformation
September 25, 2017
From Chen Ping's attribute panel, the only change that Lu Hai Kong could see was one.
It was Chen Ping's original Scholarly Talent, [Rejuvenation], which had now become [Spring Returns to Earth] (Unique).
It was evident that Chen Ping's Scholarly Talent had advanced. After all, if a Unique-level talent wasn't considered an advancement, then what would be?
However, if not for witnessing it himself, Lu Hai Kong would never have believed that Chen Ping's talent would reach the Unique level.
After all, this guy didn't seem to have any talent at first glance, and his innate talent was merely at the Advanced level. His current achievements were solely due to Lu Hai Kong's relentless investment of vast resources.
For this very reason, when Lu Hai Kong saw that Chen Ping had a Unique-level talent, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but more so delighted. After all, having a subordinate with a Unique-level talent could only bring benefits to Lu Hai Kong.
Lu Hai Kong rubbed his nose and casually opened Chen Ping's Unique-level talent to take a look.
Spring Returns to Earth: A Unique-level talent, an active talent that, when used, can heal injuries or ailments of a varying number of people, from one thousand to ten thousand. (Has strong growth potential)
Talent Cooldown: 15
Upon reading this attribute description, Lu Hai Kong couldn't help but widen his eyes. Even from the attribute description alone, it was clear that this talent was an incredibly powerful healing ability.
Being able to heal a varying number of people from one thousand to ten thousand with a single use, this talent was far beyond the description of 'abnormal'.
However, attributes were still just attributes. To truly understand the effectiveness of this talent, Lu Hai Kong knew he needed to witness it in action.
Lu Hai Kong's curiosity about the magical system, of which this talent was a part, was not just a passing interest. After Chen Ping's advancement, Lu Hai Kong was determined to do more than just glance at his attributes.
After familiarizing himself with Chen Ping's attributes, Lu Hai Kong brought Chen Ping out, prepared a venue, and conducted a simple test of Chen Ping's abilities.
The test subjects were a group of people with various degrees of illnesses and injuries, temporarily gathered for this purpose. Due to the large number of participants and the time needed for preparation, Lu Hai Kong left the testing of Chen Ping's talent for last.
Lu Hai Kong first tested Chen Ping's combat power himself, experiencing the secretary's abilities after his advancement.
As Chen Ping's secretary for a long time, he had a deep understanding of Lu Hai Kong, and Lu Hai Kong, in turn, knew Chen Ping well.
Lu Hai Kong was aware that despite Chen Ping's mastery of plant control and the Green Wood Dragon Transformation, his combat power was almost non-existent before his official advancement to level 90.
Back then, even among those at the same level as him, Chen Ping was easily outclassed in combat. Even Chen Yi, known more for his leadership than his martial prowess, could effortlessly defeat him. His combat power was truly underwhelming.
However, after his advancement to level 90, the skills he possessed seemed to have been elevated. Lu Hai Kong was eager to see how much combat power Chen Ping's [Plant Control] and [Green Wood Dragon Transformation] could unleash now.
But to Lu Hai Kong's disappointment, Chen Ping's performance didn't live up to his expectations.
It wasn't that Chen Ping's strength hadn't improved after his advancement. The main issue was that, as Chen Ping had been Lu Hai Kong's secretary for a long time, he had rarely participated in battles. Although Chen Ping was an NPC who had risen from a sea of corpses, and even though he had taken a break from combat, he could easily pick it up again.
However, in front of Lu Hai Kong, Chen Ping still couldn't perform at his full potential. This was because, for Chen Ping, this kind of practical test was challenging. He was facing Lu Hai Kong, who he had loyally served for several years.
Chen Ping found it difficult to unleash his full combat power against Lu Hai Kong, even though he knew his master was incredibly powerful. He just couldn't bring himself to fight with all his might.
In this situation, Lu Hai Kong had no choice but to find another person to test Chen Ping.
However, at this moment, most of Lu Hai Kong's elite subordinates were not in Bei Feng City. Dian Wei, Pan Feng, and Gao Shun were in Youzhou, while Zhao Er and the others were in Shangjun. Lu Hai Kong was momentarily at a loss for who to test Chen Ping's abilities.
As Lu Hai Kong scratched his head in thought, Princess San, who was standing beside him, took the initiative and stepped forward.
"I'll do it!" she declared.
Lu Hai Kong's expression changed upon hearing this. He genuinely did not want Princess San to take action, but at that moment, she was eager to take on the challenge.
Princess San strode towards Lu Hai Kong and Chen Ping, her gaze calmly fixed on Chen Ping. But this seemingly casual glance made Chen Ping's heart race with fear.
One had to understand that standing before Lu Hai Kong and Princess San were two completely different experiences.
Chen Ping was well aware that Lu Hai Kong would never harm him, so he felt no sense of danger in his presence. However, with Princess San, it was a different story. Chen Ping felt like he could be killed at any moment.
"I'll only strike once, so I hope you can receive it," Princess San said, as if she were about to draw her sword. But she didn't even unsheathe it; instead, she merely raised her right hand, forming it into the shape of a sword and lifting it slowly.
This simple action from Princess San was enough to make Chen Ping's heart nearly leap out of his chest. In that instant, he keenly felt an immense and terrifying power gathering in her hand, as if it could effortlessly pierce through anything.
'I'll die if I can't block this sword!'
A sense of dread spread through Chen Ping's heart. Although he was originally a data NPC with less emotional volatility, he was still stunned by Princess San's sword strike.
Amidst this fear, Chen Ping's potential was fully unleashed.
Chen Ping formed a hand seal, and within a ten-meter radius around him, the originally barren ground began to turn green. Soon, the greenery grew wildly, and in no time, a lush plant kingdom surrounded Chen Ping.
Lu Hai Kong's eyes gleamed as he witnessed this. Chen Ping's strength had indeed improved significantly after his advancement, something he couldn't achieve before.
However, it would still be challenging to block Princess San's sword strike, as Lu Hai Kong was well aware of her formidable abilities.
Chen Ping seemed to realize this as well, as he continued to hold the hand seal, seemingly preparing something.
Lu Hai Kong's eyes flashed with a golden light, and once again, he entered a bizarre energy vision.
In this vision, Lu Hai Kong clearly saw the green energy within Chen Ping's plant kingdom begin to surge.
The energy, originally vibrant with life and gentle in nature, gradually transformed as it gathered behind Chen Ping. It became sharper and more resilient.
"Green Wood Dragon Transformation? Interesting! I recently gained a glimpse of the Dragon Slaying Decision, so why not test it on you!" Princess San said, raising an eyebrow. As she spoke, the aura around her hand intensified, and even though the power was still building up, the mere hint of it was enough to terrify Chen Ping.
Under the influence of Princess San's power, Chen Ping's hand seal began to change.
Lu Hai Kong could clearly see that the green energy around Chen Ping was becoming increasingly turbulent, and in an instant, a green energy dragon illusion formed around him.
At that moment, Chen Ping, who had been tense, suddenly calmed down.
His face became remarkably serene, and both Lu Hai Kong and Princess San sensed the powerful energy emanating from him.
Princess San and Lu Hai Kong exchanged a glance, nodding in agreement. Princess San lowered her hand, and the intimidating aura surrounding her dissipated. She turned to Lu Hai Kong and said, "Although he's not yet familiar with this combat style, his potential is immense. If he can master this power, ordinary martial warriors with a strength of 90 would stand no chance against him."
"Hmm," Lu Hai Kong nodded, his mind slightly distracted. As he watched Chen Ping unleash the Green Wood Dragon Transformation, he heard another system notification.
Lu Hai Kong opened his system notifications, and what he saw left him stunned...
