Chapter 625 - Qinghe in crisis (1/2)

Under normal circumstances, other than the particular case of Yan Liuyuan, the physical fitness of a supernatural being would increase accordingly with their power.

When they arrived in the wilderness, Ren Xiaosu had Zhou Yingxue run at full speed and punch a big tree.

To Ren Xiaosu’s surprise, the speed and strength Zhou Yingxue displayed were comparable to that of his shadow clone! And the shadow clone’s strength and speed were twice that of Ren Xiaosu’s!

In the past, Ren Xiaosu had deliberately observed that Zhou Yingxue’s prior speed and strength were already at half the level of his. In other words, in terms of physical fitness alone, Zhou Yingxue was already four times stronger than before. She was now twice as strong as Ren Xiaosu.

Ren Xiaosu felt a little jealous. What kind of dogshit luck did this woman have?

Other supernatural beings, including Wang Congyang and Zhou Qi, who were the earliest to awaken their powers, only had a physical fitness level that was about the same as Ren Xiaosu’s. In fact, they were not even as strong as Ren Xiaosu.

Yet Zhou Yingxue, who was brought into the stronghold by Ren Xiaosu and led by hand for a stroll, had achieved what most others could only dream of.

“Then what about your power? Are there any new developments?” Ren Xiaosu asked, “There should be a lot of changes in that area, right?”

Zhou Yingxue replied, “I only feel that I can make the plants more powerful after taking control of them. I also obtained a new seed ability that I can use to plant a creeper vine.”

When Ren Xiaosu heard Zhou Yingxue say she could plant a creeper vine, he nearly choked. Was it a creeper vine as huge as the one that grew in Stronghold 61?

“Don’t use that power carelessly.” Ren Xiaosu said, “If others see that the creeper vine that you plant looks exactly like the one from Stronghold 61, they might think that you were responsible for that creeper vine from before.”

However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized another important point. After the creeper vine had mutated and was absorbed by Zhou Yingxue, she gained the ability to plant a new type of seed.

So would that mean that if Zhou Yingxue were to encounter other mutated flora in the future, she could also fold them into her power? If that were the case, the variations of Zhou Yingxue’s power would only grow more abundant.

So it turned out that the variations of her power still had the potential to grow.

Ren Xiaosu immediately planted a Potato Shooter in the ground. He looked at Zhou Yingxue. “This time, do you want to try absorbing the energy of this plant like you did for the creeper vine?”

Zhou Yingxue did as Ren Xiaosu said, but the Potato Shooter instantly withered!

Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue. “What happened?”

A green ball of energy within Zhou Yingxue’s hand materialized into a seed. She said happily, “Master, I can now plant potatoes too!”

“It seems that if we hear about any more mutated plants, I’ll have to take you there to collect them.” Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, “I think I came across an article regarding some exotic plants that were reported about in Hope Media’s newspaper recently. I’ll look for it later when we get back. In the future, we’ll have to start paying more attention to such articles.”

In the current day, not many plants had mutated yet. But even for those that did, they were generally not that aggressive. Otherwise, those people would not have been so slow to react to the creeper vines.

It was definitely a good thing that Zhou Yingxue had become stronger. The creeper vine seeds might just end up being very useful during critical times.

After returning to town, Ren Xiaosu saw the door of Qin Sheng’s residence wide open. There were two people packing things inside the house.

He asked them, “Where’s the owner of this house?”

When Qin Sheng heard that, he came out of the house and said to Ren Xiaosu, “I’ve just received news that I am to return to Luoyang City immediately. I enjoyed my time with Brother Xiaosu, but I have to leave now.”
