Chapter 80: Photosynthesis, Old Sha's Transformation!
Chapter 80: Photosynthesis, Old Sha's Transformation!
The sun rose, casting its eternal glow and warmth.
A fiery red star, it was not only a source of flame but also the origin of countless lives.
With the sun's awakening, all things came to life, brimming with renewed vitality.
The morning dew quickly evaporated, and the city dwellers began their bustling day.
Su Ping was no exception.
Despite waking up relatively late, with the sun already high in the sky, he had eye gunk in the corners of his eyes and yawned, not bothering to wash his face before heading straight to the training ground outside the forest, where Old Sha resided.
This was a place he had to check every day before he could feel at ease observing the training of the Linlang.
However, this morning, as Su Ping took a look, the lingering drowsiness he felt vanished instantly.
His eyes widened, and without caring that he was still in his pajamas and slippers, he sprinted into the reinforced glass enclosure, right next to Old Sha.
The reason for his haste was that Old Sha had undergone another transformation, something that had never been recorded in Sun Chaoju's data on the Thousand Wood Wolves.
Old Sha seemed unchanged from before, and upon sensing Su Ping's arrival, its eyes even shifted, revealing a hint of excitement.
However, it maintained an extremely peculiar breathing pattern, refraining from making any sound.
Clearly, Old Sha was not at risk of mental rigidity or woodification.
In fact, Su Ping could see that with each breath Old Sha took, every hair on its body seemed to 'breathe' in a unique way, as if they were also absorbing energy.
Each hair appeared to be constantly unfolding.
This sensation should not be present in an animal-type companion beast; it was more common in plant-type creatures.
This ability was known as photosynthesis.
Through sunlight, they could absorb light energy, a capability that Su Ping found acceptable in this magical beastmaster world, even if he didn't fully understand it.
Old Sha itself seemed fine, but its surroundings were a different story.
On the lawn, everything around Old Sha had turned a withered yellow.
Had Old Sha forcefully absorbed the life energy from the surrounding plants? Had it forcefully activated the effect of the Heart of Wood?!
Impossible! Su Ping firmly believed in Old Sha's obedience to his commands.
After so many years of living together like family, they shared a deep trust.
So, what could be the reason for this?
Could the Heart of Wood truly cause some changes in the evolution of the Thousand Wood Wolves?
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed deeply, unsure if this transformation was positive or negative.
In the end, his limited knowledge of breeding was to blame.
Nonetheless, Su Ping quickly used his Truth Eye to examine Old Sha:
【Linlang (Wild)】
【Current Level: Leader Rank 2】
【Racial Potential: Elite Rank 10】
【Skills: Sunlight Siphon (Perfect), Vine Strangulation (Mastery), Self-Healing (Proficient), Accelerated Growth (Mastery), Wolf King (Beginner), Heart of Wood (Proficient), Photosynthesis (Beginner)】
As expected, Old Sha had indeed comprehended Photosynthesis, a skill that only manifested on plants.
However, at this moment, Su Ping's gaze wasn't solely focused on Photosynthesis; instead, he noticed another skill that had unexpectedly changed:
Heart of Wood (Proficient)!
Indeed, Old Sha's Heart of Wood had once again advanced in rank.
It had reached the Proficient level.
Perhaps this, in itself, wasn't a big deal.
The reason was simple; Old Sha was the first to acquire the Heart of Wood skill.
Moreover, if there was a connection-sharing ability, it was only natural that skill levels would increase rapidly. This should have been an expected effect and capability!
After all, not to mention Old Sha, the wooden statue had been here for half a month, and its Heart of Wood had also improved. Even Su Ping's Little Qing had her Poison Heart of Wood at the Proficient level.
In fact, over the past few days, several talented individuals had also managed to enhance their Heart of Wood.
But that wasn't the point!
The reason was simple; Old Sha hadn't been connected to the sharing system for a long time.
In other words, his Heart of Wood had purely been enhanced through his own efforts!
How was this possible?!
Su Ping was all too familiar with the difficulty of improving the Heart of Wood.
This type of passive ability, a cultivated skill, shouldn't have been so easy to level up. Otherwise, Old Sha wouldn't have struggled for over forty years to barely break through his racial limit, failing to even achieve evolution.
Therefore, this phenomenon could only have occurred during this evolutionary phase.
Without a second thought, Su Ping hurried towards the camera, not even stopping to greet Old Sha. He played back the night's footage at 8x speed to see what had transpired.
The recording began from when Su Ping left the previous day.
During the night, Old Sha seemed to have grown accustomed to this lifestyle, no longer experiencing the initial discomfort of the first two days. Instead, he had completely immersed himself in the plant state, resembling a lazy cold-blooded creature, unwilling to move unless necessary.
So, there weren't any significant changes during the night.
As expected, when the sun rose on the horizon and its rays poured down, Old Sha continued as usual, initiating the Sunlight Siphon.
However, over the past few days, Old Sha had reached a threshold in the second stage of the Thousand Wood Wolf.
As he absorbed more sunlight, the radiance on his body intensified. Finally, under the glowing light, a unique breathing pattern emerged on Old Sha's body. With each breath, the sunlight on his body seemed to merge seamlessly with him.
Su Ping's eyes narrowed as he focused on the high-definition camera footage:
Under the concentrated sunlight, after the special breathing pattern began, the surrounding flowers and grass on the meadow seemed to be influenced as well.
Faint green glows seemed to follow the dazzling sunlight,
gradually merging into Old Sha's body in Su Ping's sight.
Then, a verdant aura spread, enveloping Old Sha as if a green blanket had covered him.
Together with the sunlight, he entered an extremely strange state.
This state lasted for about three minutes before gradually fading away.
Thus, the scene Su Ping witnessed was formed.
