Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

With another bang, the stone bed cracked and crumbled. But when he looked at the two results, the difference was clear.

The first bed, where he had used Blood Qi, had shattered into hundreds of small, fine pieces, while the second bed only broke into larger, uneven chunks.

Ram stood there, comparing both, a smirk creeping onto his face. "So, this is what Blood Qi can do... however the amount of soul power required seemed to be very large and it also takes more time to gather enough blood qi."

"Well, it seems I need to learn some martial arts techniques, that can use blood Qi" he pondered with his hand on his chin, but soon he remembered that Sid was also a Martial Artist, and he might have some.

Through the experiment he found that Blood Qi didn't just add any additional power— but it refined it, focusing and enhancing the impact of his punch.

The destructive power was far greater than his raw physical strength alone, with the help of martial arts techniques that can mobilize blood Qi, it would be many times easier to control Blood Qi.

Ram clenched his fist, feeling the residual pulse of Blood Qi fading after his test punches, using Blood Qi allowed him to deal many times more damage than with raw physical strength alone.

The shattered stone fragments were proof of its devastating effect.

However, for martial artists, after using Blood Qi, they would typically face a long recovery period, needing hours—sometimes days—to regenerate unless they had access to QI recovery potions.

But as Ram flexed his fingers, he smiled, a smug satisfaction washing over him. "For me... it's different." He muttered, looking at his attribute panel and the steady recovery already at work.

Thanks to his [Recovery (Unique)] talent, even the Blood Qi was affected. It wasn't just his health and spiritual power that passively recovered every minute.

His Blood Qi regenerated almost effortlessly compared to ordinary martial artists. In the brief moment since he had unleashed his Blood Qi, Ram could already feel traces of it slowly replenishing in his body.

Next, he sat down and tried to combine both spiritual power and Blood Qi to enhance the attack power, but even after trying for more than half an hour, he didn't even find a single clue.

He felt both spiritual power and Blood Qi seemed like the same side of the magnet, as soon as he tried to gather them together, they began to repel each other.

Ram shifted his attention back to his attribute panel, the glowing display revealing his recent gains. He skimmed through his skills list and stopped as something new caught his eye.

[Spirit Empowerment Level 0 (0/1000)]: Enhances the powers of summoned spirits, temporarily granting them additional abilities like flight, elemental control, or increased combat efficiency.

"Huh, a new advance skill was unlocked, and this skill seemed very interesting." However, the skill was still at level 0, without any knowledge about it.

He still needs to spend some spiritual power to get started, but that's for another time. After checking through his attribute panel, he checked immediately Linger attributes.

As Ram inspected Ling'er's updated status, a holographic display appeared in his view, laying out her impressive new attributes. A surge of excitement ran through him.

Her growth was incredible—more than he had expected.

[ Name: Sword Grass (Linger)]

[ Race: Wood Spirit]

[ Level: Silver (0%)]

[ Quality: One Star General]

[ Physique: 68]

[ Spirit: 15]

[ Description: A resilient blade of grass with a surprisingly sharp edge, rumored to have grown on a fragment of a legendary weapon. While seemingly ordinary, it possesses an extraordinary cutting ability.]

[Skills:

[Environmental Fortification]: Grown in a specific, harsh environment, the plant developed exceptional strength, resilience, and unnatural toughness, comparable to forged steel.

[Flowing and Agile]: Due to the nature of the leaves, Sword Grass can make swift, flowing movements that take advantage of the leaves' flexibility, making it easy to control.

[Regeneration]: Depending on the amount of spiritual power or life energy used, the leaves of Sword Grass could regenerate after breaking or being destroyed.]

[ Talent: [Multi Shattered Sword]: Upon activation, the Sword Grass can break into multiple blades (16 blades) and subordinate blades (64 blades) that follow the main blades or combine multiple blades from its body into a single, deadlier weapon. This grants the Sword Grass multiple unique effects:

- Activation: The Sword Grass can activate Shattered Sword at will, but it requires a brief focus period (one attack action in combat).

- Combining Blades: During activation, several blades (5-6 depending on the Sword Grass' current size) detach and fuse, creating a temporarily enhanced blade.

- Defense Piercing (70% Chance): The attack bypasses a portion of the target's defense, ignoring 35% of their defensive stat for damage calculation.

- Critical Hit (Guaranteed): Regardless of whether the defense is bypassed, a successful hit with the enhanced blade always lands a critical hit, dealing an extra 350% damage.]

Compared to before her Physique had skyrocketed, making her harder and sharper but she only awakened one new skill called Regeneration, a practical skill allowing Ling'er to repair any damage during battle, making her far more durable.

This was huge in the middle of combat, especially when facing enemies capable of smashing her blades.

But what really caught his attention was the new talent that had evolved from Shattered Sword to Multi Shattered Sword. The increase in both offensive potential and tactical flexibility was staggering.

Ram grinned, his thoughts racing. "Multi Shattered Sword... this is awesome," he muttered to himself. "Not only does it multiply her attack capabilities, but I don't even need to micromanage the subordinate blades—they automatically follow and strike the target."

This upgrade was more than just a numerical boost; it gave her the ability to not only break into multiple blades but now, those blades could further divide into subordinate blades, 64 in total.

He imagined Ling'er splitting into a swarm of blades, each one cutting through enemies with deadly precision. "Haha, I didn't expect Linger to give me another surprise, with the help of this talent, I should be able to use techniques like Leaf-Streak Slash and Sword Storm with very little mental power."

And it's not just the number of blades that increased, even her attacks could now bypass 35% of an enemy's defense from the initial 30%, guaranteeing a critical hit with a whopping 350% damage increase when the enhanced blades struck their target.

"Ha-ha-ha...Regeneration, auto-following blades, guaranteed critical hits... she's become a monster on the battlefield," Ram mused aloud, his smile widening.

He closed the display, satisfied with Linger's progress, already planning how to fully utilize her upgraded talents in the next battle.

Ram came out from the stone house, greeted by the fresh air, as he noticed Liam and Sid sitting close by while eating something, appearing quite relaxed. "Hey," he called out, waving as he approached. "How's the current situation? Any issues with the Bio-Mechanical soldiers?"

Liam glanced up lazily, about to answer, "Bro you finally came out, for now it's stable, and the soldiers already—" but he cut himself off mid-sentence, eyes widening as his gaze locked onto Ram.

Sid, who had also turned to respond, froze in place, blinking rapidly as if trying to make sense of what he was seeing. Both of them stared at Ram in stunned silence, their jaws slightly slack.

"What?" Ram asked, confused by their reactions. "You both look like you've seen a ghost."

Liam blinked several times, then rubbed his eyes as if trying to dispel an illusion. "Bro... you... you're a Tier 3 professional now?"

"You really leveled up," Sid spoke, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Fuck how is this possible? First, it was Mu'er, and now you too; both of you were only Tier 1 just a week ago."

Ram chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Haha... I was lucky to break through after the last fight."

"Shit luck," Liam snorted, clearly not buying it. He leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Who the hell would believe that? Come on, bro, spill it."

"Tell me your secret. I swear I won't leak it to anyone, not even to Mai!" He clasped his hands together like he was begging, his face full of mock seriousness, but his excitement was real.

Sid joined him, stepping closer. "Yeah, brother, don't keep us hanging here. You and Mu'er were barely Tier 1 a week ago. Now you're both Tier 3, and you expect us to believe it was luck?" His voice was tinged with a mix of jealousy and genuine amazement.

He crossed his arms, waiting for Ram to explain further.

Ram chuckled again, but there was no hiding the glint of satisfaction in his eyes. "Alright, alright. It wasn't just dumb luck... It's more like... a mix of opportunities, some near-death experiences, and maybe a bit of talent." He winked, knowing full well that wasn't going to satisfy their curiosity.

"Near-death experiences my ass, you didn't even enter the central area of the battlefield," Liam retorted, smirking. "I knew it! You're hiding something, come spill it out fast."

Ram couldn't help but laugh, as he took out many Tier 2 and Tier 3 vitality mushrooms and spirit mushrooms, he prepared before and gave them. "Fine, fine. Do you really want to know? Well, take this... they can help you improve your attributes."

After that, in front of their stunned and happy eyes, he strode past them and went towards Mai.
