Chapter 133: Blue Silver Bind, The Use of Plant Pact, Susanoo in the Left Hand, and World Tree in the Right
Xue Jing sprinted across the rooftops with the black-robed woman in tow, moving at an incredible speed that rivaled automobiles.
He paid no heed to the terrain, rushing straight toward the hotel, and soon enough, they arrived at their destination.
With a bold stride, he carried her into the hotel lobby. Despite his conspicuous action, the presence-reducing effect of his "Unremarkable Glasses" kept him from drawing too much attention, eliciting only a few curious glances from the surrounding people.
He made his way to the elevator, rode it up to his floor, and unlocked the door to his room with his key card.
As soon as he stepped inside, Xue Jing tossed the black-robed woman onto the sofa in the living room and removed his glasses.
In that instant, an overwhelming sense of presence erupted... However, aside from the unconscious woman, there was no one else in the room.
Xue Jing walked into the gym and rummaged through the cabinets, eventually finding two jump ropes made of steel wire coated in soft rubber—an extremely durable combination.
He returned to the living room, picked up the black-robed woman, and seated her on a single wooden chair.
Then, he took one of the steel wire jump ropes and bound her upper body to the chair. He picked up the other rope and proceeded to tie her lower body to the chair's legs.
"This should do for now."
Xue Jing clapped his hands together, feeling a bit restless as the woman showed no signs of waking up anytime soon.
He itched to try out his new skill.
He scanned the room and spotted a pot of spider plant on the TV cabinet in the living room.
Xue Jing's eyes lit up, and he walked over to the plant, reaching out to touch its slender, sword-like linear leaves.
At the same time, he instinctively activated his new divine skill—Plant Pact.
Instantly, a coin-sized intricate pattern appeared on the leaf his finger touched, resembling a tiny magic array.
The contract was successful.
Xue Jing immediately felt a connection with the spider plant, as if it had become an extension of his body, controllable at will like his own limbs.
Indeed, as he willed it, the spider plant before him transformed.
The originally curved, slender leaves straightened abruptly, standing erect like the quills of a porcupine.
"Interesting."
Xue Jing smiled and continued to manipulate the plant.
One of the slender leaves began to grow wildly, extending from a mere few centimeters to three or four meters in length in a short time, and it showed no signs of stopping.
"It can proliferate and grow... Now, what about this?"
The three- to four-meter-long spider plant leaf suddenly stiffened, its soft surface gaining a subtle glow and transforming into a hard, sharp blade that resembled a true sword.
Xue Jing extended his finger and tapped the leaf.
"Bang—"
The sensation of hardness transmitted through his finger didn't feel like a leaf at all but rather like steel. However, the sound it produced was dull, unlike that of metal.
"Transmutation is also possible..."
Xue Jing pointed at the nearby wooden chair and commanded, "Go."
The sword-like leaf instantly swung toward the chair, delivering a swift slash.
"Swish—"
The leaf's edge sliced through the chair, leaving an extremely smooth cut that showcased its sharpness.
Xue Jing stroked his chin, contemplating. "Hmm... not bad."
He thought for a moment, then pointed at the black-robed woman bound to the wooden chair.
"Blue Silver Bind!"
Instantly, five or six spider plant leaves began to grow and elongate wildly, rushing toward the black-robed woman. They wrapped tightly around her hands, feet, and torso, binding her completely like a tightly packed zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling).
Due to the excessive tightness and snug fit of the bindings, the black-robed woman's curvaceous figure was fully outlined, making her appear as if she were wearing a rather unique piece of lingerie.
Xue Jing waved his hand, signaling the spider plant to loosen its bindings, before continuing his experimentation.
Half an hour later, Xue Jing paused. He realized that the Plant Pact skill seemed to have no energy cost.
Having controlled the spider plant for so long, the skill showed no signs of fatigue and remained as vigorous as ever, as if it could be used indefinitely.
"No, that's not right," Xue Jing mused, his eyes narrowing in thought.
"It's not that there's no cost, but that the cost is different from other skills."
"The key to Plant Pact lies in the contract. The act of forming a contract is where the skill's consumption occurs."
Xue Jing opened his panel and looked at the Divine Skills section.
The golden words 'Plant Pact' were somewhat dim, indicating a 'cooldown' with their muted color.
"The consumption only occurs during the 'contract' itself... In other words, controlling a plant after the contract is formed has no cost and can be used endlessly!"
Xue Jing's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"This is interesting... As long as I wait for Plant Pact's cooldown to end, I can continue forming contracts with other plants, creating an army of plants under my control. With an infinite number of plants, won't I be invincible?"
"That's not quite right. There must be a limit. It can't be this powerful at just Level 1."
"Also... Even with this level of strength, a large number of plants wouldn't make me truly invincible."
Xue Jing continued to control the spider plant, causing it to proliferate and grow, its leaves extending further.
However, after reaching a length of over ten meters, the plant seemed to hit a wall and couldn't grow any further.
"Is this a restriction of the plant itself, or is it because my Plant Pact skill's level is insufficient?"
Xue Jing chopped down with the edge of his hand, severing the spider plant's leaves.
"The highest hardness it can achieve through qualitative change is just average."
"After all, it's only Level 1, so I can't expect too much. I'll see how it improves as the skill level increases."
"One day, I shall have Susanoo in my left hand and the World Tree in my right..."
Xue Jing curled his finger, and all the leaves on the spider plant began to curl inward, as if a rewind button had been pressed, causing the plant to shrink in size.
Soon, the entire pot of spider plant had disappeared, leaving only a small seed in its place.
Xue Jing picked up the seed and examined it in his palm.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a circular pattern on the seed, resembling a tiny magic array.
He placed the seed in his pocket, walked to the bedside cabinet, and picked up the phone to order room service.
"Hello, sir. How may I help you?" came a sweet voice from the receiver.
"Please send some food to my room..." Xue Jing replied.
...
Aqin groggily opened one eye, her brain feeling like it was about to go on strike. The dizziness made her want to vomit.
What... what am I doing? she wondered, her mind clouded.
Then, her memories slowly returned like a tide.
Persuasion... battle... Black Flame... giant... moonlight...
The last thing she remembered was the bespectacled youth frowning and slapping her.
Aqin blinked her remaining eye, the scene before her gradually coming into focus.
The handsome youth without his glasses was sitting on the sofa in front of her, holding a bowl and eating his meal.
Noticing that she had woken up, Xue Jing swallowed his food and smiled, "You're awake? The surgery was a success..."
