Chapter 25: Full-Status Shared Skill

"Horse, grow stronger."

Vivian watched in confusion.

She didn't quite understand why a creature would evolve so rapidly.

"This is the 【Growth Spirit】 I mentioned."

Having said that, Rod continued to infuse Bang De Cheng Gong with spirit.

Vivian, meanwhile, wore an expression of contemplation.

【'Growth Spirit' used successfully, Bang De Cheng Gong has successfully grown】

【Overall physical ability increased, potential enhanced】

【Skill acquired: Explosive Arrow】

【Details: Bang De Cheng Gong can condense explosive-natured spirit onto arrows; frequent use carries a risk of barrel explosion.】

【Remaining 'Growth Spirit': 10】

【'Growth Spirit' used successfully, Bang De Cheng Gong has successfully grown】

【Overall physical ability increased, potential enhanced】

【Skill acquired: Utilitarianism】

【Details: Bang De Cheng Gong begins to calculate gains and losses, establishing a hierarchy for everyone in his mind; fortunately, you still remain in the first tier.】

【Remaining 'Growth Spirit': 9】

【'Growth Spirit' used successfully, Bang De Cheng Gong has successfully grown】

【Overall physical ability increased, potential enhanced】

【Skill acquired: Melee Talent】

【Details: Bang De Cheng Gong possesses high talent in close-quarters combat, but due to 【Cowardice】, he refuses to engage in melee.】

【Remaining 'Growth Spirit': 8】

Rod took a deep breath.

He painfully lowered the arm infusing 【Growth Spirit】.

"Don't get carried away, don't get carried away."

He began to feel that Bang De Cheng Gong was a massive casino, where vast amounts of 【Growth Spirit】 were invested just to gamble for a jackpot.

Obviously, that was irrational.

Besides, he still had many Enchanted Items on his person that could be strengthened.

"Limit each investment into Bang De Cheng Gong to three to five times."

Having made up his mind, he immediately stopped agonizing.

He then pulled out the 【Sacrificial Body Sword】 and the 【Guardian Veil】.

He invested two points into each.

The 【Sacrificial Body Sword】 gained 【Glowing】 and 【Toughness】.

The 【Guardian Veil】 gained 【Shock Reduction】 and 【Aging】.

Glowing was truly glowing, and aging was truly aging.

Fortunately, each possessed one useful skill.

This time, Rod felt fine, not as anxious about gains and losses as before.

See, lowering expectations and meeting preset goals is good; at the very least, it brings some satisfaction.

"With the remaining 4 points, let's try Tally's magic dagger. By the way, Vivian, where is your magic wand?"

Vivian, who had been playing with Rod's fingers, heard this and walked over to a large tree.

She used 【Tree Walker】 again, retrieving the magic wand from the spirit aperture.

The water-element spell she newly learned required this wand to cast, so she usually stored it within the tree.

Rod was about to strengthen this short wand, but Vivian held him back.

"Tree, grow, needs it more."

She gently placed her palm on the tree trunk.

Rod understood her meaning; compared to strengthening the magic wand, she wanted to strengthen the tree more.

That was fine.

【'Growth Spirit' used successfully, Great-Horned Bai Yu Tree has successfully grown】

【Overall quality improved】

【Skill acquired: Spirit Potential】

【Details: This tree has awakened its spirit potential and is about to begin accumulating spirit. The higher the spirit level of a tree, the more spirit 【Tree Blessing】 will return.】

【Remaining 'Growth Spirit': 3】

"!"

The stronger the tree, the stronger I am!

Rod hurriedly infused another one.

【'Growth Spirit' used successfully, Great-Horned Bai Yu Tree has successfully grown】

【Overall quality improved】

【Skill acquired: Spirit Potential】

【Details: This tree has awakened its spirit potential and is about to begin accumulating spirit. The higher the spirit level of a tree, the more spirit 【Tree Blessing】 will return.】

【Remaining 'Growth Spirit': 2】

【'Growth Spirit' used successfully, Great-Horned Bai Yu Tree has successfully grown】

【Comprehensive Quality Improved】

【Skill Acquired: Spiritual Potential】

【Details: This tree has awakened its Spiritual Potential and is about to begin accumulating Spirit. The higher the Spiritual level of a tree, the more Spirit the 【Tree's Blessing】 will return.】

【Remaining 'Growth Spirit': 1】

Three times in a row, the Great-Horned Bai Yu tree acquired the same skill: Spiritual Potential!

Rod almost immediately felt the faint Spirit bestowed by the three trees before him.

"If I use 【Growth Spirit】 on every tree in the Wind Wall Forest, wouldn't I then..."

He quickly calmed down.

Accumulating 【Growth Spirit】 is not easy; one must not lose control.

Just like with Little Little Bangde, simply decide the quantity to use each time.

However.

It was 【Tree's Blessing】 that made the great contribution again!

Rod could no longer hold back; he pulled Vivian into his arms and kissed her fiercely.

"Reaching the Sixth Tier is just around the corner!"

Pink rapidly spread across Vivian's elf ears.

【Vivian's obedience to you +1, Current Obedience: 79】

She didn't know what was wrong with her; her heart pounded as if it were about to explode.

She felt everything before her shrouded in a thin mist, impossible to see clearly, except for Rod, who still shone brilliantly.

She couldn't help but step into his embrace, rising onto her tiptoes.

She kissed his neck and chin again and again.

"Vivian?"

Rod instinctively supported her waist.

At this moment, Vivian had leaned all her body weight into his arms.

The fresh scent of the trees, intensified by their heavy breathing, continuously filled their nostrils.

Even the white light that had blocked all emotion in her eyes now, at this very moment, constantly radiated a desire for lust.

Rod could no longer restrain himself.

He lifted her up, and they kissed each other.

The two, locked in a kiss, stumbled into the wooden cabin and fell onto the bed.

"What are you doing?"

Rod suddenly froze.

Vivian did not stop.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the bed, Tally, who had been half-asleep, quickly became shocked and furious.

"Damn it! Vivian! That's mine!"

The scene descended into chaos.

Unfortunately, it did not develop any further.

Enraged, Tally's power erupted; her arms transformed into tentacles and successfully restrained the unresisting Vivian.

After an hour passed, the 【Charm Fluid】 wore off, and she finally returned to normal.

The emotionless Tree Spirit came back online.

First, she expressed great gratitude to Rod for his contribution to the trees.

Second, with a blank expression, she indicated that if Rod liked it, he could treat her the same way again.

Tally, furious, made a commotion and chased her out of the wooden cabin.

"How strange! How can you still charm a Tree Spirit?"

Tally voiced her question.

She knew her master's Nu Yi Zhou could share skills, but for the shared 【Charm Fluid】 to be stronger than hers was simply unreasonable.

According to her mother's memories, Tree Spirits and Rock Spirits were the most difficult intelligent races on the continent to seduce.

"At first, it was because of the 【Charm Fluid】; later, it was uncontrollable."

Rod felt little self-blame; in that situation, few men could have held back.

Or perhaps, after unrestrained indulgence day and night with the succubus, he had gradually turned into a human pile driver.

"I have never heard of a case where a Tree Spirit was hooked solely by 【Charm Fluid】; even high-tier succubi cannot do that."

Rod paused in surprise.

He recalled the powerful effect of 【Tree's Blessing】.

Could it be related to the Nu Yi Zhou?

Does it maximize the effect of all shared skills?
