Chapter 356: Learning on the Fly (2/2)

Upon seeing the contents of the second scroll, Stingham nearly fainted.

It also contained a defensive skill!

“Aha! Finally, one which isn’t a defensive skill!”

After digging around and finding a third scroll, Stingham’s eyes lit up. But moments later, he almost spit blood. “A love letter! It’s an Evil Dragon Follower’s love letter!”

The third scroll didn’t contain the methods for learning a skill, but the sincere feelings of an Evil Dragon Follower for his lover!

Tears flowed down Stingham’s face as he opened a fourth scroll, his hands trembling.

“Eh? Even a low level arcane skill like Blaze Snake was transcribed into a scroll?!”

Unable to endure any longer, Stingham fiercely bit down on the foot in his mouth.

Although he had found an offensive skill, it was one which was even weaker than Water Dragon.

“This is the last scroll. I might have to give up after all.” Stingham thought as he opened the last scroll.

“Demonic Foxvines?”

The name which appeared before his eyes caused Stingham to stiffen.

“As long as you possess a seed, you can transform it into a demonic foxvine. Upon planting a demonic foxvine into the body of an opponent, it will take root and begin to sprout and proliferate…”

Stingham’s mouth turned dry as he subconsciously read the contents of the scroll.

This skill sounded like it was able to deal with the thing pinned beneath him!

It seemed perfect!

Stingham turned serious as he read over the scroll several more times.

With the crystal demon’s foot still in his mouth, it made for a very funny image.

“It should be able to do the trick!”

Stingham’s eyes fully lit up.

He immediately became immersed in learning and comprehending the skill.

“Did he find a suitable skill?” Ayrin couldn’t help but ask upon seeing Stingham’s change of state.

Rinloran sneered in response, “Even if he found one, so what? Do you think an idiot like him would be able to learn it quickly?”

“There are arcane energy fluctuations! He seems to have learned it already!” Ayrin shouted.

Rinloran’s face darkened.

Indeed, a layer of faint green light had appeared around Stingham’s body.

If Stingham’s comprehension ability was this strong, just how little effort was he normally putting into his training?!

“This skill is indeed extremely suitable for me!” Stingham exclaimed, a look of surprise on his face. In reality, his comprehension ability was not as monstrous as it seemed. This plant-based skill just happened to resonate with his Green Dragon Bloodline.”

“Alright! Let’s give it a try! This must work! Otherwise this guy will learn it and use it against me!”

After several moments, Stingham’s eyes left the scroll. He was full of confidence. But in the next moment, his expression turned bleak once more as he cried out, “Seeds! Plant seeds!”

After undergoing the Lunar Essence’s baptism, Stingham had gained a great affinity with nature. Whenever he released any arcane energy fluctuations, any seeds atop his body would immediately begin to sprout. All his tussling with Black Stingham, however, had completely crushed all the grass seeds and saplings atop his body.

As this area was isolated from everything else, it naturally contained no seeds.

Thus, even though he had managed to learn the skill, he had no way of using it.

“What shall I do? Perhaps some seeds fell off me and under these metal fragments?”

“Or maybe some of these metal fragments had seeds on them when they were thrown in here? But will those seeds even sprout after all these years?”

“It doesn’t matter. This is all I can do!”

Tears streamed down Stingham’s face as he tightly clutched Black Stingham and began to roll back and forth atop the ground.”

“What is he doing now?”

“Is he a wild boar searching for food? Why is he digging around in the ground?”

Rinloran felt the urge to kill rise within him once more.

Stingham rolled and rolled until he had basically covered the entire area.

It was precisely at this moment that Stingham abruptly stopped and stiffened.

Because at this moment, he saw a reddish-purple sapling growing in the ground beside his body.

“Demonic Foxvine!” Stingham shouted, finally releasing Black Stingham’s foot from his mouth.

“Whoosh!”

A green gas gushed forth from his hand and surged into the little sapling.
