90 The Truth about the Peak Master (1/2)

”Sun Shuren moved back to avoid the heat emitting from my body as I cried out in pain. Every time she tried to come closer, I slowly told her to back away as I did not want to hurt her”

”Rolling on the ground while grasping my heart with both arms as the ground beneath me melted, I was being lowered into the ground while the cave around me remained melted”

”The pain lasted for over half an hour before it began subsiding. Even while it did, the heat remained behind for another ten or so minutes”

”As I got up when the heat disappeared, I felt as though I had been reborn. My body felt light and full of energy and vigor that I previously hadn't had as I jumped out of the huge pit that I was in”

”Sun Shuren saw me and ran into my arms with tears and asked me if I was alright. Naturally, I nodded my head and hugged her back.” the peak master continued his story.

”Smooth” Ye Qin thought.

”How smooth” Wang Tao thought.

”That night, when Sun Shuren fell asleep, I went outside to watch the stars. As I left the cave entrance, behind me weed and grass started growing with every single step I took, at first I didn't notice but I continued walking about ten meters from the cave and lied down on my back”

”When I saw a path filled with grass and flowers in the path I had just walked, my eyes widened as I tried taking another step in an area filled with dirt. Just like I had thought, the area around my foot instantly turned green as small flowers instantly sprouted”

”When I touched the flower with my hand, it flashed with a blinding light for a second. As I looked at it, my eyes amazed me. A rare herb from an encyclopedia was in the place of the flower I had just touched”

”I tried it to multiple flowers, and the same happened. However, each time, different rare plants grew in place of the common flowers”

”That night, I didn't catch a blink of sleep. I spent the entire night experimenting, truly my hard work paid off. After just six hours, I could somewhat control what grew with a good ratio of success. When I turned to a pile of dirt, I touched it as it became darker in color and looked much richer”

”You guessed it, that's how I got all this dirt you see here” the peak master laughed.

”I knew it, when he said that the tablet disappeared inside his heart, I knew this would happen. Of course, I'm not the only person who has been through a similar situation” Ye Qin thought as he remembered that night when the meteor attached itself inside his forehead.

”Peak Master, why do you sound like you're writing a xianxia novel? But that would explain how you got all this stuff here. To think it would be a result of you just casually touching dirt” Wang Tao said with a hint of envy.

”Hahahaha! Indeed, I was fortunate that day, not only did I meet my future wife, I also experienced something right out of a novel!” the peak master agreed with Wang Tao's remark.

”So what happened next?” Wang Tao asked.

”Well, I quickly stored everything into my smartwatch and learned how to stop my new power from releasing when I don't want it to. Obviously, the smartwatches at the time weren't quite as advanced as the ones they have now” the peak master replied.

”After that, I spent the next few days in the cave exploring more of my powers. It seemed like I could use the plants I grew to evolve my partner as well as increase its grade since I didn't know which ones to use, I placed them all in front of me”

”Suddenly, a burning sensation filled my body as small flames appeared on some of the plants. Following my instincts, I stored the plants that didn't have flames then called out my partner”

”When he was in front of me, I let the burning sensation guide me as I controlled the plants using my mind! With a single thought, the plants floated in the air around my partner as he began glowing with bright green light”

”When the blinding light disappeared, I noticed that my partner looked completely different, not only was it larger in size, it gave off a more powerful pressure than it did previously. It even gained orb-like objects on its body that seemed as though they could store energy inside them”
