Chapter 2333: Surprise Troops (16)

Zhao Chi immediately gathered his spiritual power.

A Giant Art struck into the tree hollow.

The entire tree hollow was part of the giant tree, so he could hit anywhere.

However… there was no change at all.

Ineffective?

It didn't seem completely ineffective either; it seemed the entire tree hollow had grown just a tiny bit larger.

But it was very unnoticeable.

Really only a tiny bit.

Zhao Chi even suspected that this tiny bit of growth might be his own illusion.

Could it be that the Giant Art had no effect on this giant creature?

Zhao Chi checked the information in astonishment.

【Target enlarged by 0.8%】

Huh?

What's going on?

Only enlarged by 0.8%?

He had clearly just used a Giant Art with a 200% enhancement level.

And based on Zhao Chi's 80 points of spiritual pressure, the giant tree should have actually been able to grow by 360%.

How could it only be 0.8%?

The difference is way too big, isn't it?

At this moment, the three bone dragons swept past again, still not discovering Zhao Chi in the tree hollow; only the chaotic wind from their bone wings flapping blew the flames inside.

The remaining four bone dragons violently slammed into the giant tree; the entire giant tree shook violently, the sound muffled and dull, and another large burning branch snapped off.

Quite a bit of burning giant bark also fell inside the tree hollow, smashing onto Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi climbed out from the pile of bark.

Kicked away the burning bark.

Try again!

The light of the Giant Art was emitted.

This time he paid special attention to the selection of the enhancement multiplier, confirming it was 200%, absolutely no problem.

However…

The giant tree had only grown a tiny bit larger again.

If Zhao Chi's perception weren't so sharp right now, it would be hard to tell the difference.

【Target enlarged by 1.6%】

Roughly understood!

Although he didn't dare to be completely certain, it should be pretty much right.

The skills Zhao Chi used weren't ineffective against these giant creatures; the effect was just very small.

After all, these were giant creatures, with such enormous volumes—how could they be directly and indiscriminately affected by a skill from a tiny human?

Wanting to use 100 points of spiritual power to make this giant ancient tree grow by 360%?

It was indeed a bit of a stretch.

Including the Rage Art that Tang Ruan had just used, it should also have had an effect on the bone dragons.

But the effect was really too small, not enough to shift the bone dragons' attack target over to Tang Ruan's side.

If Tang Ruan kept using it, casting it multiple times on the same bone dragon, the taunting effect of the Rage Art should gradually take hold.

As long as it's effective!

Calculated this way, to actually make this giant tree grow by 360%, he would need to cast the Giant Art 450 times.

That's quite a lot.

Each Giant Art consumes 100 points of spiritual power.

A total of 4500 points of spiritual power would be needed.

His current spiritual power wasn't enough.

No worries, Jie Yu already had recovered, so he could change it!

Zhao Chi immediately activated it.

The familiar golden light appeared, and Zhao Chi felt his confidence surge.

No need to change the attributes; his current Intelligence attribute was already the highest, he just needed to change those enhancement points back to increasing spiritual power.

He immediately activated the change.

He had originally thought he could only move his own 75 enhancement points, but he didn't expect that even the enhancement points stacked by the Jade Race's master, that is, Tang Ruan, could also be transferred.

This felt very comfortable.

The change was completed in an instant.

Zhao Chi's 25 points of Intelligence attribute could provide 500 points of base spiritual power.

Adding all 150 enhancement points to spiritual power, each point could increase base spiritual power by 25% based on Intelligence, for a total increase of 3750% of base spiritual power.

So the base spiritual power was 19,250 points.

Plus the full set of fashion given to Zhao Chi by Li Ruanyu could increase spiritual power by 290%.

Zhao Chi's current maximum spiritual power was 57,750 points.

Too bad the Silver Moon Transformation effect was gone now, otherwise his spiritual power could have broken through the 100,000 mark in one go.

But this was only the maximum spiritual power.

And Zhao Chi already had consumed a great deal of spiritual power; now he had only just over twenty thousand left, less than half.

Fortunately, this was still enough.

More than enough.

Zhao Chi directly went wild using the Enlargement Art.

Within a single second, an astonishing, strange light flared through the entire tree hollow.

The light even pierced through the crimson flames outside, and amid the ash and purple mist filling the air, a layer of strange luminous haze appeared.

Visible to the naked eye, the entire tree hollow rapidly grew larger.

Zhao Chi was continuously squeezed outward by the expanding trunk.

All manner of ash and burning bark and branches were also squeezed outward, slowly piling up high; Zhao Chi was practically buried.

He felt as if he had leapt into a volcano.

Fortunately, it would be over soon.

He retreated while shoving aside the flaming bark and ash behind him, and kept using the skill.

Very quickly, the giant tree reached the intended size.
