Wang Tao wanted to level up to Level 3 quickly, so naturally, he could no longer wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after a series of operations by Wang Tao, he acquired a new Superpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 2 Ability: Yin and Yang Balance]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name hadn’t changed; it was still called Yin and Yang Balance, but the detailed information had increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yin and Yang Balance: Can slightly influence the spirit of living beings, can destabilize the spirit of living beings, can create a barrier that blocks mental attacks, and during sexual intercourse with the opposite sex, both parties’ Mana will quickly be restored, and the user will gain a permanent increase in Mana. The permanent Mana increase has a cooldown, which is random. (Side effect: None)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this Ability, Wang Tao laughed loudly, and then he fused the Omnipotent Crystal Core he had prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, Wang Tao’s new Ability had leveled up by +10!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 2 Yin and Yang Balance (+10)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now all four of his Abilities were at +10, and he could ascend to Level 3! He had already prepared the Ascension crystal cores needed for Level 3 Ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wang Tao was not in a hurry to ascend. After his ascension, killing Level 3 Ordinary Zombies and Level 3 Elite Zombies would no longer count as defeating higher-level enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loot Packs were a minor issue; the main concern was Special Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Level 3 Abilities, whether for fusion or extraction, each time it would consume 30,000 Special Energy. Wang Tao had spent over a hundred thousand Energy on synthesizing Crystal Cores, and now he only had a little over one hundred thousand left, which wouldn’t last many uses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wang Tao planned to kill some more Level 3 Zombies to save up some Special Energy before proceeding with his Level 3 Ascension. After all, he currently had Level 3 Combat Power, and killing most Level 3 Zombies was no trouble for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao checked his belongings and the items in his Space Backpack again to see if anything had been missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, I almost forgot about this thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seed appeared in Wang Tao’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Iron Tree Vine Seed: When planted in the ground, it will grow into a violent Iron Tree Vine. When planted inside the body, it will grow into an obedient Iron Tree Vine.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I plant it inside my body…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao was slightly hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planting it in the ground was obviously pointless. Even if he killed the vine, at most he would get an Extraction Crystal Core, and that wasn’t even guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were planted inside his body, Wang Tao was afraid he would become a monster. After all, this was different from the previous Magic Seeds, which clearly stated they would develop Hidden Abilities…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Screw it, let’s plant it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Wang Tao steeled his heart and placed the seed inside his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seed instantly melted within Wang Tao’s body, just like a Crystal Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, an icon appeared below Wang Tao’s HP bar:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Iron Tree Vine Seed Germination Countdown: 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous Magic Seed needed ten days, whereas this Iron Tree Vine Seed only needed three days, which was significantly faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just three days; let’s wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Wang Tao temporarily put the thought aside. He and Jiang Shixue went out together to hunt zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies near the sports center had begun to run off to other places, which made Zijing City much more dangerous all of a sudden. After all, there were quite a few Level 3 Zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, many factions had moved their families to Zijin Base. As long as they didn’t go out, they were basically safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also made things easier for Wang Tao; he didn’t have to go out of his way to head to the sports center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao’s Special Energy was back to over three hundred thousand, which meant he could use it for fusion or extraction of Level 3 Crystal Cores about ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Iron Tree Vine Seed inside Wang Tao finally sprouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation he was worried about did not happen; he didn’t turn into a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the countdown ended, Wang Tao felt as if something was in his mouth. He then spat out something resembling a small black snake—although it was called a vine, it didn’t have many leaves and felt similar to Entangling Roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, they were indeed quite similar. Not only could it transform into a bracelet that wrapped around Wang Tao’s wrist like the Entangling Roots, but it was also a Level 3 Weapon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 3 Weapon: Iron Tree Vine]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 10,000\u002F10,000 (Maximum 100,000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Status: Awakened]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Enhancement: Split (1), Independent Attack]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Compatibility: 100%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike Entangling Roots, which provided various enhancements when worn, the Iron Tree Vine’s features were splitting and independent attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Split (1): Currently 1 tendril, up to 10 tendrils]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Independent Attack: Can follow the owner’s commands and attack on its own]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This vine can split, up to 10 tendrils? Interesting…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao could vaguely feel a very faint and simple consciousness, which was the consciousness of the Iron Tree Vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it grew out of his body, it had a 100% Compatibility, and Wang Tao could control it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a thought, he saw the vine suddenly grow ten meters, wrapping around a nearby brick, and then retracting quickly, bringing the brick to Wang Tao’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is pretty interesting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao experimented several more times and discovered that the vine’s greatest use seemed to be in helping him capture prey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tested it with zombies, finding that when a Level 2 Zombie was entangled by the Iron Tree Vine, it couldn’t escape at all and was pulled directly in front of Wang Tao, where he could easily kill it with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for using the vine to attack, it was rather unsuitable. Its Attack power was far less than Wang Tao’s, so it was better as a controlling ability.\u003C\u002Fp>",1036,"2026-05-30T17:46:59.546Z","2026-06-01T04:31:49.537Z",1,"novelbin.me","070324984ccf1c9fd128a49694875da6bd9c342bf8b6b2c40fbc516b487c9cfa","apocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-chapter-539","apocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-chapter-537",1888,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-cover.jpg"]
