Chapter 1096: Chapter 541: Nothing More Than This! (Part 2)
The originally swaying green leaf instantly became docile.
But unlike the others, even when the tall man’s granddaughter stepped on it, it didn’t move at all.
"Alas!"
Cyan Ink Jade sighed inwardly, thinking that her Yuan seed’s quality must be lacking.
Even when I intervene, it still refuses.
But there’s no choice, since I’ve spoken earlier, it has to act now, whether it likes it or not.
"Go!"
Cyan Ink Jade emitted the aura of the Earth-grade Yuan seed, which she directed towards the tall man’s granddaughter.
Suddenly!
The green leaf moved!
Then it flew into the air, stopping at a height of fifteen thousand meters, and then vanished into the Primordial Spirit Wood.
Only then did Cyan Ink Jade retract the aura representing the Earth-grade Yuan seed.
"Isn’t this a deception!"
Chen Xuan chuckled inwardly.
Cyan Ink Jade used her seed’s aura to confuse the green leaf, making it believe it belonged to the tall man’s granddaughter.
Interesting!
Truly interesting!
"What about you?"
Having completed all this, Cyan Ink Jade turned around and asked Chen Xuan.
"Let me try myself."
"Alright then!"
Cyan Ink Jade nodded, curious to see what’s special about him, since he’s even faster than she is.
In the end, it was partly out of competitiveness.
Being the Young Clan Leader of the Tree-man Race and surpassed by another felt humiliating.
The two reached almost the same height, separated by a hundred meters.
Simultaneously, they looked up at the sky.
Leaf after leaf fell, some even exceeding three or four meters, yet neither moved.
Cyan Ink Jade caught a glimpse of Chen Xuan from the corner of her eye, surprised that he wasn’t satisfied with such large leaves.
His Yuan seed was just barely top-grade.
To her discerning eyes, it was quite ordinary indeed.
"You shouldn’t aim too high; once all the leaves fall, you might miss out and regret it later."
Cyan Ink Jade kindly advised.
"Thank you!"
Chen Xuan replied casually.
Upon hearing this, Cyan Ink Jade raised an eyebrow, disliking the feeling as if she wasn’t even considered by him despite being the Young Clan Leader.
"Hmph!"
She snorted inwardly, initially thinking of lending a hand; but if it’s like this, forget it!
She decided not to mind him and waited attentively.
With an Earth-grade Yuan seed!
Her target was a leaf over ten meters in size.
According to records of the Tree-man Race, no one has been recognized by a leaf exceeding ten meters!
But who is she?
Aside from the ancestors, she is the greatest genius of the Tree-man Race in history.
So she’s determined to break this record.
Gradually, the leaves falling from above grew larger.
Five meters!
Seven meters!
....
A huge shadow descended, causing Cyan Ink Jade to tense—one exceeded ten meters!
Impatiently, she dashed over.
Yet when she approached within a hundred meters of the leaf, it trembled, and in a powerful surge, sent Cyan Ink Jade tumbling.
She somersaulted several times in mid-air before stabilizing.
"How dare you!"
Cyan Ink Jade roared angrily, her rage erupting.
Especially with Chen Xuan watching from below, she felt deeply embarrassed.
The aura of the Earth-grade Yuan seed burst forth, rushing towards the green leaf.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The green leaf shook violently, dispersing the aura directly.
Now Cyan Ink Jade was dumbfounded.
Could it be that even an Earth-grade Yuan seed wouldn’t suffice?
"Young Clan Leader, there’s a nine-meter leaf below, why not try that?"
Chen Xuan kindly reminded, though his eyes held a glimmer of amusement.
"Hmph!"
Cyan Ink Jade snorted coldly, her expression extremely unpleasant.
Chen Xuan’s remark appeared helpful, but to her, it felt like a brutal slap.
She took out a small white bottle from her bosom, her eyes full of reluctance.
Then, glancing at the leaf over ten meters and feeling Chen Xuan’s gaze from below, she steeled herself, opened the bottle, and a drop of jade-green liquid emerged.
"Boom..."
The leaf over ten meters began violently quivering the instant the liquid appeared, swiftly descending at Cyan Ink Jade’s feet and even rubbing against her.
As if trying to please her.
"Hmph!"
Cyan Ink Jade raised her head proudly, "Now you realize it’s your honor to choose me!"
A simple comment!
Seemingly spoken to the leaf, but actually aimed at Chen Xuan.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Indeed, somewhat childish.
But what exactly is that liquid, capable of swaying that leaf’s attitude so dramatically?
Even to the extent of humbly pleasing Cyan Ink Jade.
And at this moment, Cyan Ink Jade stood on the leaf, not rushing towards the sky, but rather approached Chen Xuan.
"Don’t aim too high; larger leaves will appear, nothing smaller than this will."
"Leaves down there are good enough, quickly go, or they’ll vanish upon touching the ground."
"You see, only Earth-grade Yuan seeds will do!"
"You’re merely top-grade, and quite ordinary at that! Don’t think too much of it."
"You’ll regret it later if you miss out."
"Alright! Thanks for the reminder, Young Clan Leader!"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.
Then he headed downwards.
Seeing this, Cyan Ink Jade nodded in satisfaction, with her previous irritation disappearing like smoke.
Thinking why not lend a hand, but the leaf beneath her trembled impatiently, wanting to return to the Primordial Spirit Wood immediately after the selection.
These are the rules!
Just as Cyan Ink Jade was about to enter the Primordial Spirit Wood, she glanced sideways downward, seeing Chen Xuan with a foot ready to step onto a leaf just over three meters, her lips curled slightly.
