Chapter 178: Healing! The Perfection of Woodheart!
Chapter 178: Healing! The Perfection of Woodheart!
Watching Su Ping with a serious expression, everyone could tell that this human Beastmaster wasn't joking.
Even Shangguan Ye furrowed his brows slightly.
Did he not explain it clearly enough? At this moment, the life-ancient tree's roots were severed, making it difficult to absorb a large amount of energy for recovery.
Being able to maintain its lifespan for another year or two showed the tree's profound foundation.
Extending its life further would be extremely challenging.
The rewards would not be worth the effort.
With that kind of capital, he might even be able to purchase young life-ancient trees.
Clearly, it was not worth the risk.
However, at this moment, the other plant-type companion beasts didn't seem to care, especially the Powdered Peach Blossom, who was very close to Su Ping. She quickly moved and 'looked' towards Su Ping.
For human Beastmasters, there could be many life-ancient trees.
But for these little guys, there was only one life-ancient tree.
This was why Su Ping was willing to take the risk and give it a try.
With Lao Sha's Natural Speech, even without the life-ancient tree, Su Ping believed that these rare plant-type companion beasts would still choose him over Huowang Corporation.
However, looking at the scene before him, Su Ping couldn't help but feel emotional.
For these plant-type little guys, losing the life-ancient tree meant losing a family member.
The other plant-type companion beasts felt the same.
Even the fiery Flame Morning Glory, with its seemingly hot-tempered personality, couldn't wait to speak up:
"Dududu (Human, if you can help the life-ancient tree, I'm willing to leave with you!)"
"Huala (And me...)"
"..."
For a moment, they all spoke up.
Su Ping didn't respond because he himself wasn't very confident.
The life-ancient tree, however, shook its head:
"Little guy, the Essence of Nature is such a precious resource. Using it on me would be a waste. Even with the Essence of Nature, maintaining my life force would be extremely difficult. At most, it could only extend my life for a few months. It's not worth the risk!"
Su Ping smiled: "Whether it's possible or not, we still have to give it a try! Besides, I'm not using the Essence of Nature!"
The life-ancient tree was slightly taken aback.
Without saying more, it continued to gaze at Su Ping with curiosity and interest.
This peculiar young man had caught its attention on the hillside, where it saw him with Miss Blossom.
Being able to make Miss Blossom, the most troublesome little guy aside from the disobedient brat who refused to leave the forest, agree to its request was indeed unusual.
Since that was the case, the life-ancient tree didn't mind letting Su Ping give it a try. However, as an old tree that had already come to terms with its fate, it nodded and said:
"Alright, but if it fails, don't be discouraged or blame him. You little ones, don't fault him either. Having this intention is already commendable."
Clearly, the life-ancient tree was concerned that the other plant-type companion beasts might blame Su Ping if he failed.
This made Su Ping feel even more appreciative of the life-ancient tree, which was like a kind old man.
Such a life-ancient tree fit perfectly with the overall style of their Woodheart Breeding Base.
With the presence of someone like a 'Sweeping Monk', the construction of the plant garden would be much smoother.
So, under the expectant gazes of everyone, he took a deep breath.
He patted Lao Sha's head.
Lao Sha also seemed to understand his master's thoughts.
Looking at the life-ancient tree, there was a hint of sympathy in its eyes.
It had once faced the depletion of its lifespan and was prepared to accept death.
In the end, its master had pulled it back from the brink.
Now, looking at a companion beast in a similar situation, how could Lao Sha not empathize?
Naturally, Lao Sha also wanted to help this life-ancient tree.
So, without needing Su Ping's command, it followed him and slowly approached the tree.
The life-ancient tree looked at the old wolf that had come before it with curiosity, momentarily taken aback.
It didn't know what kind of companion beast this old wolf was.
However, it could sense that this old wolf was only a Overlord Apex-level companion beast.
Clearly, the life-ancient tree itself had never held much hope, and now it was even less concerned.
But soon, the life-ancient tree was slightly startled.
Suddenly, it felt a very special power surge throughout its body.
This power enveloped and wrapped around it, leaving it momentarily stunned.
Everyone else also stared at this scene intently.
Among those present, aside from Dong Muchun, no one believed that Su Ping could succeed.
Only those who understand the specific situation will truly comprehend the magnitude of the challenge.
To restore it, how difficult is it?
Only Dong Muchun, upon witnessing the countless miracles manifested by this little guy, could not help but believe in him.
These miracles were not just a one-time occurrence.
Even for a genuine Beastmaster of the highest caliber, who had only reached the Elite Seventh Rank, Dong Muchun still had an inexplicable faith in him.
It was as if whatever he claimed to be capable of, he could undoubtedly accomplish!
Amidst the serene silence, with not a peep from the Plant-type Companion Beasts, everyone's attention was fixed on the trio at the center—a human, a wolf, and a tree.
Fearing any disturbance that might hinder the process, everyone held their breath.
They could sense a vibration emanating from Lao Sha, spreading to the Tree of Life.
As the vibration intensified, the Tree of Life's expression turned solemn.
No one spoke, allowing the sensation to merge with their bodies.
However, Su Ping's brows furrowed slightly.
The vibration on Lao Sha's body abruptly ceased.
Was it not possible?
Indeed, even in such a situation, Lao Sha's Natural Speech failed to alleviate the withered and yellowed state of the Tree of Life.
It seemed that nothing could affect the Tree of Life.
A hint of emotion flickered across the Tree of Life's face as it spoke:
"Ah, this feeling is truly wondrous! Human Beastmasters are indeed the most intelligent beings.
Any Companion Beast in your hands will possess various miraculous abilities. Such a unique evolution is something you would never encounter in the wild!
It's been a long time since I've felt this vibrant growth within me, but unfortunately..."
Unfortunately, the Tree of Life did not elaborate further.
However, Su Ping understood.
Natural Speech could accelerate the growth of Plant-type Companion Beasts, but it was not meant for healing!
Moreover, with the Tree of Life's vitality depleted, even ordinary healing methods would struggle to take effect.
Su Ping did not even attempt to use the Spirit Wolf's healing abilities because he knew that if it were that simple, the Tree of Life would not have fallen into such despair.
In most cases, such attempts would prove futile.
It was not a matter of addressing the symptoms without curing the root cause; it was about not being able to cure even the symptoms.
Witnessing this, everyone, including Dong Muchun, shook their heads in disappointment.
Had they failed?
Indeed, they had.
Su Ping had never truly ventured into the realm of Plant-type Companion Beasts.
The slight deviation that occurred was not his fault; it was due to the Tree of Life delaying the process for too long and reaching a critical point.
The other Plant-type Companion Beasts also dimmed, and the fleeting glimmer of hope that had just emerged transformed into disappointment once more.
However, after hearing the Tree of Life's words, no one blamed Su Ping.
They understood that he was trying to help their Tree of Life.
Just as everyone was about to give up, one person remained steadfast.
Su Ping was not one to easily surrender.
Having taken on this challenge, he never truly believed it would be as simple as solving the Tree of Life's problem.
He exhaled slowly, his gaze unwavering.
As everything came full circle, his focus returned to the skill that held the most significant meaning for him—Wood Heart!
This was the legacy passed down by Su Ping's grandfather, an extraordinary passive skill among Wood-type Companion Beasts.
It was the evolution of the Elemental Heart, the key factor that set the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf and other evolved forms apart.
Wood Heart's ability allowed it to absorb the vitality of ordinary trees, nurturing itself in the process. It could draw strength and replenish its own reserves.
Natural Speech possessed a similar ability, enabling it to absorb the life force of other Wood-type Companion Beasts and use it to rejuvenate itself.
Absorbing and releasing, absorbing and feeding back!
Lao Sha didn't even need to absorb the life force of other Wood-type plants or Companion Beasts to replenish himself.
The 'Photosynthesis Plus Sunlight Absorption' skill was sufficient to restore his vitality.
This was the true test Su Ping wanted to undertake!
Undoubtedly, this was an unprecedented endeavor.
Any novel attempt ignited Su Ping's enthusiasm and interest beyond imagination.
His gaze remained unwavering, even as he turned to the Tree of Life, his excitement barely contained.
The Tree of Life sensed his peculiarity.
However, it was evident that this young man had no intention of giving up.
If the other party persisted, what reason did he have to surrender?
And so, the Life Ancient Tree's face nodded again:
"Little guy, if you have any more tricks up your sleeve, keep going."
Of course, he continued.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Su Ping gently patted Lao Sha, using a special skill that Lao Sha had rarely used before.
This skill had once dazzled countless legion commanders during the grand competition in the legion.
It had also exceeded the imagination of many Beastmasters.
This skill was the most unique ability of the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf: Mutation - Wood Body!
At this very moment, Lao Sha had entered a state of wood transformation, becoming a tree-like creature seemingly rooted in the ground.
It appeared no different from the other Plant-type Companion Beasts.
The surrounding Plant-type Companion Beasts seemed to be caught off guard.
However, Su Ping and Lao Sha didn't pay attention to these glances.
Lao Sha's branches slowly extended and connected with the Life Ancient Tree.
At this moment, Su Ping smiled at the nearby Longevity Banyan:
"Senior Longevity Banyan, could you please move aside and let the sunlight shine in?"
The Longevity Banyan was too big.
Although it intentionally left sunlight for the Life Ancient Tree, there was still not enough.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Plant-type Companion Beasts quickly cleared a large area.
Su Ping and the others were now exposed to direct sunlight.
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction.
Under the sunlight, Lao Sha seemed to emit a faint, hazy glow.
The connecting branches slightly swayed.
The next moment, a powerful energy wave emanated from Lao Sha's body.
With Sunlight Absorption at full power, Lao Sha, in his wood-transformed state, seemed enveloped in a layer of sunlight.
The sunlight shining on Su Ping nearby dimmed slightly.
What was this...
Shangguan Ye, standing nearby, narrowed his pupils, looking at the strange Ten Thousand Wood Wolf with disbelief.
At this moment, the only Senior Breeder in Jianghai,
His gaze towards Lao Sha was filled with fervor.
This peculiar Lin Wolf Evolution was truly enigmatic.
Its mystery exceeded his expectations.
As expected, at this moment, the Life Ancient Tree also sensed something amiss.
He felt a surging vitality from this strange Companion Beast.
Was it borrowing life?
But was this little guy crazy?
Moreover, wasn't this vitality a bit too much?
At this moment, everyone clearly saw that although the Life Ancient Tree's roots showed no signs of change, remaining decayed without any signs of recovery,
But on the tree crown,
The outer withered branches slowly regained their green color.
Although the roots' decay was inevitable, this vitality replenishment was enough to slightly restore the Life Ancient Tree's lifespan.
However, this wasn't the end.
At this moment, on Lao Sha's body, a dim light appeared under the sun's radiance.
Lao Sha's aura suddenly changed.
Su Ping seemed to realize something and looked intently.
Lao Sha's power surged!
Sovereign!
Was Lao Sha about to advance to the Sovereign rank?
However, this wasn't the key reason for Su Ping's astonishment.
The Ten Thousand Wood Wolf's racial potential wasn't enough to surprise him.
What truly surprised and delighted him was Lao Sha's Wood Heart.
In the reverse output of life force, it advanced to Perfection!
With all three skill levels of Sun Formula reaching Perfection,
