It felt so good to be close to the witch!

It was a leaf.

It is pure blue throughout, and upon closer inspection, it has a faint sense of transparency.

Shanika could feel her body and her soul instinctively urging her to touch the pure green leaf in front of her.

This feeling grew stronger and stronger, and in a very short time, it formed an unstoppable torrent that overwhelmed her reason.

The moment her fingers touched the Pure Azure Leaf, it merged directly into Shanika's body. A feeling of missing parts being filled filled her heart, and the intense desire receded. Shanika could feel that after the Pure Azure Leaf entered her body, her innate abilities underwent a tremendous transformation.

But before Shanika could even process it, she suddenly felt a violent vortex appear in front of her, gradually filling her entire field of vision. At the same time, an invisible force was pulling her body, trying to drag her away from this area.

As her vision was gradually swallowed by darkness, her body grew lighter and lighter. Just as her consciousness was about to sink into darkness, a faint, gentle voice appeared in Shanika's ear.

"Go search...search...beware...original sin..."

The sound was intermittent and difficult to hear.

The next instant, Shanika lost consciousness completely.

……

"Shanika!"

That sounds familiar... Who is it... calling me...?

He sounded...very anxious...

"Shanika!"

My scattered thoughts quickly coalesced, and a familiar yet anxious voice projected a figure into my mind.

With black hair, brown eyes, and a gentle smile on his handsome face.

Roy...

It's Young Master Roy!

Shanika woke up with a start, opened her eyes, and saw the young man's face reflected in her pupils.

It was exactly the same as what she had just imagined, except that the young man in her eyes now had no gentle smile on his face, only deep anxiety.

Seeing that Shanika had woken up, Roy breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death. Just now you suddenly curled up, trembling all over, with tears streaming down your face, and you were muttering something."

"How are you? Are you alright?"

"Tears?" Shanika subconsciously raised her hand and touched the corner of her eye, the moisture spreading across her fingertips.

She put her finger in her mouth and tasted a faint salty flavor.

I really cried...

"But why am I crying?"

Shanika couldn't understand it.

Looking at Roy and the four witches who had surrounded her, a faint smile instinctively appeared on her face: "I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

"I'm fine."

Chapter 113 Let's have a "battle" (6,000 words, requesting...)

subscription!)

After confirming several times that Shanika was indeed alright, Roy was relieved and asked with concern:

"Shanika, what exactly happened to you in the Talent Space? Why are you reacting like this?"

Everything that had happened flashed through her mind. For some reason, Shanica instinctively didn't want so many people to know what had happened. After a moment of silence, she decided to tell Roy about her ordeal when it was just the two of them: "...I'm fine. Maybe it was just a nightmare."

To avoid further questioning, Shanika changed the subject:

"By the way, my talent has evolved and changed a lot. Let's go outside; I want to try it out."

Roy and the witches had no doubts about what Shanika said.

However, Roy couldn't help but worry about Shanica's previous performance, saying, "Why don't you rest first and try again after you've recovered?"

"It's alright, I didn't expend much energy." Shanica shook her head slightly. Unlike Ais and Lilia, she didn't need to undergo any tests. She only expended some magic power, and her body and mind were not damaged. After suppressing what happened in the talent evolution space, she quickly shifted her attention to her evolved talent, and her emotions gradually became excited.

The evolution of talent represents the enhancement of ability.

At this moment, Shanika looked inward and could clearly see the leaves floating quietly deep in her consciousness, emitting a pure blue light. Even the veins on the leaves were clearly visible.

Seeing that Shanica's attitude was firm and she didn't seem to be forcing herself, Roy and the witches had no choice but to follow her out of the hidden place, bypass the courtyard area that was under repair, and arrive at a small courtyard in the residential area on the other side.

Is this place big enough?

Roy glanced at the small courtyard, which was about ten meters long and wide, and asked.

“That’s enough.” Shanika nodded, and seeing that Roy was about to sit down cross-legged, she quickly stopped him, saying, “Wait, Young Master Roy, I’m not trying to cure you. You can just watch from the side.”

"Oh?" Roy was slightly surprised: "Your talent ability has evolved into a completely new characteristic, similar to Lilia's shadow summoning?"

"More or less." Shanika smiled mysteriously. "You'll see when you see it. Everyone, please step back a little."

Hearing this, Roy and the witches were very curious. They retreated to the edge of the courtyard and looked at Shanika in the center of the courtyard, waiting for her next move.

"call……"

Exhaling softly, feeling the incredibly vibrant life force within her magical energy, Shanica knelt down, pressing her right hand to the ground:

"rise!"

Before the sound had traveled far, a milky white light with a faint bluish tinge rapidly expanded outwards from Shanika's right hand, which was pressing against the ground.

The area covered by the light wasn't very large, about five meters in radius. In the next instant, to Roy and the others' astonishment, the ground cracked open, and countless plants sprouted from it. These plants were of many kinds, including trees, shrubs, flowers, and weeds, but at this moment they all seemed to have broken through their own limits, growing wildly. In a very short time, even ordinary weeds reached a terrifying two meters tall, not to mention the trees and shrubs among them.

Moreover, the surface of these plants has faint blue veins, giving them an incredibly resilient feel.

Shanika stood in the center of the sea of ​​plants, surrounded by countless blooming flowers, she was like a newly born queen of flowers, graceful and noble.

Roy walked up to a weed taller than himself and tugged at it hard. Even though he used ninety percent of his strength, the weed, which should have been "delicate," showed no sign of breaking and was extremely resilient.

He drew his long sword from his waist, imbued it with fighting spirit, and slashed down with all his might. This time, the weeds finally broke, but Roy could feel a distinct blockage as the blade sliced ​​through them.

This surprised him greatly.

Keep in mind, this is just a weed, but with the help of Shanica's innate abilities, its toughness has reached such an unbelievable level. This is no longer a weed, but a "steel wire" dressed as a weed!

Just then, the cut weeds seemed to come alive, like a python, and quickly coiled around Roy's arm, spiraling and growing upwards. Roy subconsciously unleashed his fighting spirit to try to break free, but the unleashed fighting spirit was like a bull hitting a mud pit, causing no ripples except for making the pure blue patterns on the surface of the weeds glow slightly.

The failure of his fighting spirit startled Roy. The weeds were moving extremely fast, and instinctively, he wanted to detonate the "Rage Light Seal" in his heart to enter a state of rage. However, when he remembered that this was just a talent test, he stopped himself from doing so. But this delay made it too late for Roy to make any other moves.

The creeping weeds lightly scratched Roy's neck before quickly retreating, swaying back and forth in front of him. Then, the lush sea of ​​plants parted, and Shanika emerged from it.

As the milky white with a hint of pale blue magic disappeared, these wild plants, under the gaze of the crowd, seemed to have completed their lives in an instant, turning into countless fine dust particles in the gentle breeze, scattering and falling.

"It's incredible."

This scene prompted Roy to speak out, while the other witches were also stunned.

The image of life going from vigor to silence in an instant is truly visually striking.

"After my talent evolved, I finally learned the attribute of my magic—life."

"The powerful life force not only greatly enhances my healing abilities, but also affects plants other than animals, allowing them to break through their own limitations and grow to their complete form in a very short time."

"These plants, which I have blessed, are extremely resilient. Even flames cannot easily destroy them, and they have a strong ability to absorb magic and battle aura. Before they are 'fully filled', direct attacks from magic and battle aura will cause negligible damage to these plants."

"Unfortunately, these are just ordinary plants. If we could find some 'magic plant seeds,' they would definitely have a stronger effect."

Shanika's voice was full of excitement.

After her talent evolved, she transformed from a pure "healer" into a "battle priest" who could tank, fight, and heal, which made a huge difference.

To put it simply, she used to need teammates to protect her when it came to battle, but now, teammates? What teammates? I'm perfectly capable of fighting on my own!

Of course, as a support "healer," Shanica's combat experience is starkly inversely proportional to her broad-mindedness; it's extremely limited, making her a difficult opponent for other combatants of the same rank in a real fight. But who would have thought a healer could possess such skills? Caught off guard, the opponent is highly likely to fall victim to her attack.

These plants blessed by Shanika have limited direct lethality but are exceptionally resilient, making them an excellent means of control.

Witnessing Shanika's earth-shattering transformation after her talent evolved, Elena and Vivian, two of the five witches whose talents had not yet evolved, were filled with envy and their hearts were ignited.

They also want to evolve their talents as soon as possible!

Noticing the burning fighting spirit in the two little ones' eyes, Roy suddenly remembered that he hadn't cleaned the pollution off them yet.

However, there's no rush. The two little ones aren't in a serious state of contamination. The situation has been more urgent these past few days. His talent, [Infinite Desire], is constantly absorbing the Great Witch's contamination from the Dark Purple Crystal Tree, converting it into silver-level energy to nourish Roy's body.

Once this transaction is over, let's completely remove the pollution from them, shall we?

Roy thought to himself silently.

After testing his evolved talents, Roy had no intention of returning to the Hidden Land. He called out to Lilia and Shanika, who were about to head back.

"Lilia, let's have a big battle!"

"It just so happens that Shanika's healing ability has become stronger after her talent evolved, so there's no need to worry about getting injured, and she can train in real combat to her heart's content."

Roy's voice was full of eagerness.

Speaking of which, since he first encountered the breathing technique, apart from the few "instructional battles" he sparred with Red in the early stages and the sneak attack during the territory merger battle, he hasn't fought anyone for a very long time.

It seems like the last time he made a move was when he was at the Bronze II level, right?

Now, he's already Silver 3rd Star, oh no, after switching to Flame Breathing, he's dropped to Silver 2nd Star.

In recent days, as his physique has grown stronger, Roy's self-assessment of his strength has become increasingly blurred.

Although he possessed the fighting spirit of a Silver Level Two and the physique of a Silver Peak, he didn't know how strong he could be in a real battle, or what level his strength could reach with all his trump cards.

This situation is actually very dangerous.

If you can't accurately assess your own strength, it's okay to overexert yourself, at most you'll just waste some energy and fighting spirit. But if you overestimate yourself and go to face a much stronger enemy, then you're doomed.

Reality is not a game; there is no such thing as a desperate situation where you can suddenly become powerful. If you can't win, you can't win, and the consequence of defeat is death.

So, although he knew it wasn't a good time for actual combat training, Roy still couldn't resist training with Lilia. He didn't expect to gain much combat experience in such a short time, but at least he wanted to have a relatively accurate assessment of his own strength.

Faced with Roy's request, Lilia hesitated, "Lord Roy, there's really no need for you to intervene. Practical training and all that isn't necessary, is it? What if you get hurt...?"

Lilia phrased it tactfully, but her meaning was clear: You're too weak, just stay in the back, we'll handle the fighting.

Roy wasn't really angry about this. It wasn't Lilia's fault. The last time he made a move, he was only a Bronze Level 2. Who would have thought that his strength would have made such a huge breakthrough in such a short time?

Although Lilia knew that he had broken through to the Silver realm, she believed that realm and combat power were two different things and should not be confused. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to fight; they could just compare who had a higher realm and the one with the lower realm could simply admit defeat and commit suicide.
