Chapter 60: Grade 'A' Skill -- 'Regeneration'
Previously, when he was still a Tier 1 professional, he needed 10 points of Spiritual power to enhance the spirit attribute by 0.1.
However, upon advancing to Tier 2, it's still 10 points of Spiritual Power that were necessary to raise the spirit attribute, but this time it's a full point, due to the rise in purity and power.
In the process, both her Physique and Spirit attributes improved rapidly, it didn't take long for him to complete the infusion of Life energy and Spiritual power into Thorny, prompting her evolution towards Tier 2.
As intense light wrapped around her, forming a cocoon, Ram seized the moment to impart the 'Environmental Fortification' skill he had reserved earlier for Thorny.
"Yeah, it's a success," he muttered. The workings of the spiritual eye are a bit confusing for him, much like the mechanics of his own talent - 'Recovery'.
He didn't dwell on the specifics of how it happened but instead concentrated on the new skill he had granted to Thorny, which was now displayed on her attribute panel.
Seeing that it might take some time for Thorny to complete her evolution, he shifted his focus on to Groot.
Ram repeated the same process with Groot, unlike Thorny, Groot's spirit attribute was already 10 points enough to upgrade to Silver level (Tier 3), so upgrading to Bronze level is not a problem.
But it still took more than 150 points of Life energy, just to increase the evolution degree from 73% to 100%.
Soon, Groot began to evolve once more; in contrast to Thorny, who was enveloped by a cocoon, Groot's evolution was straightforward and swift.
His appearance and height remained unchanged, yet Ram sensed an improvement in Groot's strength and defense.
[Do you wish to retain the 'Regeneration' skill, classified as Grade 'A', at the cost of 100,000 points of Spiritual Power?]
[Yes/No]
Suddenly, a new prompt materialized before him, asking Ram to retain the new skill awakened by Groot.
Upon seeing another A-Grade skill -- 'Regeneration', he was overjoyed, yet a tinge of disappointment set on his face, when he discovered that his Spiritual power was insufficient to save it.
He hastily reviewed Groot's attribute panel.
Although the amount of spiritual power was decreased from one million to a hundred thousand for saving an 'A' skill, he currently doesn't even possess 1% of the amount required.
But Groot, who was born from Titan Wood Tree seeds really lived up to his expectations, awakening another 'A' grade skill that is comparable to Shared Consciousness.
He witnessed firsthand how powerful an 'A' grade skill like Shared Consciousness can be when he visited Wood Spirit World.
[Name: Titan Wood Sprout (Groot)]
[Level: Bronze (0%)]
[Quality: Rare ]
[Physique: 31]
[Spirit: 16]
[Description: Resembling a humanoid. The Titan Wood Sprout features an enhanced physique, resilient bark, and the ability to manipulate vines and branches within certain limits. This creature can continue to grow slowly over time, absorbing vitality from its surroundings.]
[Skills:
[Shared Consciousness]: The Titan Wood is not just an individual tree but rather a collective entity, forming a network with all the trees surrounding it in the forest, enabling shared thinking and communication among trees with the same origin.
[Regeneration]: When injured, one can swiftly regenerate an entire broken body or specific parts of it, even from mere fragments, as long as there is enough life energy available.
[Note]: The host can utilize Regeneration through Bio Armor; however, the life energy required to heal will increase from twice the amount of life energy to multiple times that of healing its own body, depending on the extent of damage sustained.]
[Talent:
[Bio Armor]: Upon activation, the Titan Wood Sprout can merge with its host, forming armor made up of its bark. It is not only durable but also flexible, adapting to the host's movements and needs. This bond enables the host to superimpose their physical and spirit attributes. Allowing the host to gain the ability to freely use all the skills of the Titan Wood Sprout when they are bonded.]
The new skill should be able to rapidly recover its own broken body parts and its hosts.
However, from the look of it, the main drawback of this skill should be the significant amount of life energy it consumes to heal its host in Bio Armor mode.
Yet, as a Wood spirit, the amount of life energy reserves in their bodies is far greater than that of humans, and with his help, it should not be a problem in sustaining prolonged battles.
"Theoretically, healing broken bones shouldn't pose a problem; even severed limbs could be healed slowly. However, the amount of life energy needed for that should be unimaginable," Ram pondered, his arm supporting his chin while he stroked his imaginary beard.
"It may not be of much help to me, but the ability to heal itself and its host should indeed be regarded as a superpower at my current level."
Next, he looked at Linger and softly caressed her head with his finger.
She is already at the Bronze level. Previously, he had intended to enhance her to the Silver level, but upon considering the remaining life energy, he decided to pause.
Despite not knowing the specifics of the mission, he was still looking forward to it.
So, he reserved some life energy and spiritual power for emergencies or unknown situations.
"I suppose Thorny's evolution will take more time than I initially thought," Ram remarked to Linger, carefully placing the cocoon containing Thorny into his jacket.
He then stepped outside, with Linger perched on his shoulder and Groot trailing behind, his mind filled with numerous thoughts.
The first thing he wanted to do was meet Liam, so he headed out of the subway station towards the location he had given Liam.
As time ticked by while waiting for Liam, he grew bored and began to practice with Linger, using the Thousand Leaf Pinnacle technique to target the surrounding trees.
With his recent advancement to Tier 2, he noticed a marked improvement in his abilities with the Sword leaves.
His range had extended due to the increase in his spirit attribute, and his handling flexibility had improved slightly, although the number of Sword leaves, he could control stayed the same.
