Chapter 464: Chapter 432 Plant Beast_1

Could he be planning to make the young lady fuse with a plant-type monster beast?

Nan Hu regretted not having answered for the young lady himself.

His concern stemmed from the fact that plant-type beast fusion is treacherously disabling; until someone reaches the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it hardly affords any combat power.

Even after attaining the Martial Arts Grandmaster’s strength, such individuals were typically the weakest among all martial artists.

What made it worse was the fact that, aside from their woefully inadequate combat abilities, they were also generally mediocre in all other areas.

The only advantage was their suitability for healing.

Yet, in healing too, they were just a slightly better option compared to the rest.

Aside from their lack of outstanding abilities, too, was a significant downside. After the fusion with a plant-type monster beast, her flesh and blood would undergo a transformation. Regular martial artists could then consume her blood to enhance their cultivation.

According to family records, the downfall of their clan was deeply linked to this aspect.

The ancestors of many clans in their time had wished to replicate their own Martial God forbearer by fusing with plant-type monster beasts.

But they ended up being the weakest in combat and, much like Tang Monk frequently found themselves the targets of assassination.

Initially, despite the constant attacks, they managed to hold out due to their strong family background. But eventually, no tiger can withstand a pack of wolves, especially a relentless onslaught of wolves.

Under such erosion, their family managed to hold out for only a hundred years before experiencing a devastating downfall, eventually becoming Medicining People in the eyes of everyone else.

According to historical records, the shortest flourishing period of a typical Martial God clan lasted for about 300 years.

The fact that their family managed to hold out for mere 100 years essentially broke the record for all Martial God Clans.

Of course, it’s a record that probably no clan would ever wish to break.

It was due to this reason that even though their family was suitable for fusion with plant-type monster beast, no one had performed this fusion ever since.

Almost no martial artist on their continent would be foolish enough to fuse with a plant-type monster beast—an act tantamount to courting death.

As for why their clan’s old ancestor could fuse with a plant-type monster beast and reach the level of Martial God?

It was because the old ancestor had a serendipitous encounter in the Wilderness that allowed him to easily reach the level of Martial God.

As for what the serendipity was, the old ancestor left no record. Or perhaps he did, but with the collapse of the clan, all such information has been covered up in the dust of history.

However, one concrete detail has been passed down.

The old ancestor didn’t willingly choose to fuse with a plant-type monster beast. Instead, he was forced into this fusion by someone who had intended to use him as medicine.

Fortunately, his extraordinary luck allowed him to break through the Martial God realm with the assistance of the plant-based monster beast, not only killing all his enemies but also becoming a legendary figure on the continent.

His miraculous origin and experiences were later propagandized, becoming an inspiration for countless stories and novels.

Many tried to emulate him, but their endings were predictable, to the extent that you rarely see a plant-type martial artist unless someone intentionally cultivated them.

At this moment, a sudden realization shocked Nan Hu.

Could Xu Mu have the same intention?

Did he want the young lady just to nurture her into a medicine for his own use?

This speculation became increasingly credible as he thought about it.

After all, Yue has the Martial God bloodline, making her the perfect candidate for plant-type monster beast fusion. Should she reach the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster or even Martial Saint, she might yield an earth-shattering effect.

With this thinking, everything seemed to make sense.

Considering stories he had heard, Xu Mu was perhaps a step away from becoming a legendary Martial God.
