Chapter 231: Forest Princess

The face reflected in the pupil shocked Ryan.

Just as he was stunned, the attack that looked like a fist but was actually a dragon claw attacked him again.

"Boom!"

The ground made of a large number of vines cracked and shattered, and a large pit with a radius of dozens of meters was blown up.

Ryan used the greatsword as a shield to block the punch. The opponent's fist landed on the black sword, causing blood to flow from the knuckles of his hands holding the sword.

A sword away, Ryan saw the face of the energy phantom more and more clearly - it was almost 99% similar to Freni, the only difference was the temperament and eyes of the two.

That look was indifferent and peaceful, as if everything was equal in his eyes.

Such eyes, such temperament, could never be Freni!

What kind of relationship does this person have with Freni?

Thoughts surged in his mind, and the wound on Ryan's palm healed rapidly. He looked straight at the energy phantom in front of him who was punching and wrestling with him, and his mouth opened a slightly ferocious arc.

"No matter who you are, I will find you..."

The strong blue flame burned on Ryan's body, and the flame spread along the sword and touched the fist of the energy phantom.

"Sizzle..."

It was like hot oil in water, producing a very strong reaction.

The energy phantom's strength stagnated, and taking this opportunity, Ryan took the initiative to step forward and forcibly pushed it away with brute force.

The greatsword was lifted up, and the blazing flames burned, and as Ryan accumulated power, it began to retract on the sword.

The repelled energy phantom looked down at the blue flame on his fist, and the energy surged, offsetting it, and then, the indifferent eyes fell on Ryan again.

"Clang——"

An energy weapon in the shape of a long sword emerged in front of the energy phantom. She stretched out her hand, grasped the hilt, and slowly pulled it out.

There was a thin green line on the solid energy sword. The moment the sword was unsheathed, the energy shadow disappeared and appeared behind Ryan.

The sword slashed out, half-moon-like, with a green light that cut through the sky.

A strong sense of life and death crisis came from behind, but Ryan had no intention of defending.

The green light flowed, the sword broke through the shadow, and Ryan's figure appeared more than ten meters away, but as soon as he appeared, the sword followed him like a shadow and attacked his neck.

"Ding——"

The green wind blew again, and Ryan used "Broken Wind" three times in a row, but still couldn't get rid of the sword in the hand of the energy shadow.

It was as if, even if he penetrated the space, he still couldn't get rid of the opponent's lock.

However, the time brought by the three "Broken Wind" was enough for Ryan to complete the accumulation of power.

The gorgeous red tree-like pattern spread on the black sword. Facing the sword that was chopped head-on again, Ryan's eyes were red and green.

The third sword skill of the Blazing Sword Art: Residual Flame Ashes + the third sword skill of the Storm Sword Art: God-Splitting.

The invisible ripples spread, and the sword that was slashing at high speed seemed to be trapped in the hysteresis of the distorted time and space, becoming extremely slow.

But these anomalies quickly returned to normal as Ryan's greatsword slashed out.

A thin red sword thread brushed across the sword, and the seemingly light sword energy actually contained an extremely terrifying force.

The energy phantom was repelled for the first time since the battle, and even the energy sword in his hand was covered with cracks.

The energy phantom that had just landed had not yet taken the next step, and a bright blue energy giant hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed her in his hand.

[Greedy Grip]!

The energy phantom just struggled lightly and shattered the [Greedy Hand], but it still couldn't stop the continuous decline of its own spirituality and power.

"Hoo!"

The sound of the whistling wind came from behind the energy phantom, and the power servant who had completed the power accumulation slashed the greatsword in his hand.

The same formula, the same two sword skills combined, but compared to Ryan's body's slash, the Power Servant is a little less exquisite, but thanks to the powerful basic attributes, it is a little more domineering.

"Boom!"

The explosion sounded, and the energy phantom that was caught off guard and fell down took the sword, and the whole body was smashed into the ground.

In just a few seconds, Ryan was embarrassed and smashed into the pit, but now he has become an energy phantom.

A sword hit, but there was no joy in Ryan's eyes.

The feeling from the feedback from the Power Servant, although the sword just hit, there was no feeling of body collapse, but a strong recoil force was transmitted back.

Without rushing into the huge pit filled with smoke and wood debris, Ryan stood not far from the pit, with blood light in his hand.

The spiral blood spear condensed out, and under the blessing of many skills, the surface of the blood spear appeared jumping blood-colored electric light.

"Hoo!"

A strong wind appeared from the bottom of the huge pit, forcibly blowing away the smoke and dust, and the energy phantom that emerged from it showed a brand new form.

On the surface of her originally slender and agile body, many fine blue dragon scales appeared, and the same was true on both sides of her cheeks. The previous energy sword disappeared, replaced by a blue dragon spear that was longer than her height.

The powerful aura swept over, causing the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters to crack faintly.

"Swish!"

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, opening the curtain of the second stage of the battle.

The blood spear turned into a bloody stream of light and arrived in front of the dragon man phantom in an instant.

"Bang!"

The dragon-man phantom raised his hand, grasped the blood spear, and exerted force with his hand, crushing the blood spear into bloody fragments.

Even Ryan saw such a scene for the first time.

After the energy shadow entered the "dragon form", his physical quality increased significantly, reaching an extremely outrageous level, even surpassing Ryan.

The dragon figure stepped forward, and in an instant, a spider web-like crack spread for hundreds of meters on the ground, and her body, already wrapped in violent airflow, appeared in front of Ryan.

The green dragon spear penetrated out, and the dragon head carving at the tip of the spear seemed to come alive, emitting a thundering dragon roar.

The sound spread, and Ryan's consciousness fell into a trance for a moment.

The blood barrier and the Overlord Blood Demon were penetrated one by one. With a "pop" sound, and with the blood flying, the armor on Ryan's chest shattered, and the spear tip pierced out from behind him. Thanks to some obstruction, he tried his best to dodge. , so that it was not penetrated through the heart.

Severe pain swept through his body, and a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of Ryan's mouth. The ice-blue light centered on his body and expanded to all sides.

[Happy Frozen Aura], start!

A touch of frost appeared on the body surface of the dragon figure. She tried to remove it, but the effect was weak.

Just when the dragon figure was about to draw his gun and retreat, he found that the blue dragon gun was difficult to withdraw and was tightly held by a hand full of blood.

In Ryan's eyes, blood and blue light complement each other.

A huge ferocious blue beast emerged from behind Ryan and engulfed the dragon man's shadow.

Blue King!

Boom boom boom!

The Bird's Nest building roared, and two figures were thrown away at the same time.

"Pfft..."

After landing, Ryan couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of dark red blood, which was mixed with internal organ fragments. [Gluttony Heart] was activated, and combined with various special injury recovery skills, the penetrating wound on his chest began to heal at a high speed.

On the other side, the situation of the dragon shadow is also very embarrassing.

Having eaten the blast of the "Blue King" at close range, it was inevitable to avoid it. Not only did the scales around the dragon's shadow appear to be broken in large areas, but the energy condensed into the body was much dimmed.

The "Blue King" that dealt a large amount of real damage, even the Dragon Shadow, was somewhat unable to withstand it.

But the dragon figure has not yet landed, and behind her, the powerful waiter has been waiting for a long time.

The charged sword was slashed out, and the 100-meter spiritual giant sword tore through the battlefield. The dragon figure who bore the brunt could only block the blow with the cyan dragon gun in his hand, but the energy body couldn't help but dimmed a bit.

Continuous injuries have caused Dragon Shadow's condition to continue to decline. Coupled with the influence of [Grip of Greed], Dragon Shadow's combat effectiveness is no longer half of what it was in its heyday.

Not far away, Ryan was panting. He raised his hand and shook it hard in the direction of the dragon man's shadow.

"Gospel, explode!"

Purple lines spread, and the shadow of the God of Death emerged.

The sickle blade passed by, taking away the fire of life.

The light of the dragon man's shadow completely dimmed. The moment before it shattered and dissipated, her indifferent eyes fell on Ryan, as if she wanted to remember this human being who defeated her.

"boom!"

Green light spots were flying all over the sky, like a rain of light.

Ryan stood up slowly with his sword in his hand.

Feeling the residual pain in his chest, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"This feeling... I haven't seen it for a long time..."

This is the first time that Ryan has encountered such a powerful fourth-level professional.

Even he had to use all his means to defeat the opponent.

"The last Tree King Champion, the guardian of Saint Milis, the capital of the Tree Kingdom...Diana..."

Ryan could not imagine how powerful Diana was now.

What race is that giant green dragon?

As the energy shadow shattered, bright light projected down from the top of the bird's nest, like the sun clearing after a rain.

Ryan was bathed in the light, and a faint halo of light appeared on the outline of his body.

The host's excited vibrato followed:

"A new, new Tree King fighter is born!"

"The 'Great Swordsman' from the human race defeated the previous tree king warrior and successfully won the crown!"

"Bang!" Countless salutes exploded in the air, and a crown exuding a hazy crisp green light slowly fell from a high altitude and stopped in front of Ryan.

Ryan looked up and saw specific prompts on the panel.

——

[Tree Laurel Crown]: A crown woven from the buds of the Tree King. It is a symbol of the status and honor of the Tree King warrior.

With the "Tree Laurel", you can walk freely in most areas of Saint Milis, the capital of the Tree Kingdom.

Even if he breaks into the restricted area and is suppressed by the "Tree King Barrier", he can still exert half of his strength.

——

As Ryan caught the [Tree Laurel], a drop of golden liquid dripped from the sky.

——

[Tree King Holy Liquid]: The reward for those who participate in the Tree Arena and win the crown. It is refined from the purest dew collected from the Tree King after hundreds of years. After taking it, the upper limit of spirituality is +30.0 (available at level 7 and below) ) and recover from all injuries.

ps: The Holy Liquid of the Tree King is only effective when taken for the first time. It is a supreme treasure born from the Tree King. Please take this drop within ten minutes, otherwise the effect will gradually decrease.

——

The faint golden light even faintly penetrated Ryan's skin, allowing him to see the blood flowing rapidly under his skin.

[Tree King Holy Liquid] is much better than [Secondary Golden Liquid] in improving the spiritual limit, and it can even be effective at the seventh level.

Of course, the latter also has the effect of restoring the origin, so it cannot be simply compared.

But no matter what, the preciousness of this thing is self-evident.

Seeing that the effect of [Tree King Holy Liquid] would be lost after ten minutes, Ryan did not hesitate and swallowed it directly.

The warm feeling swept over the whole body, inside and outside, physical and mental, all injuries and fatigue disappeared under the comfort of this warm current.

——

[Spirit]: 342.8→372.8

[Physical]: 341.04

——

"Spirituality is beginning to surpass physical strength..."

"It seems that I need to work harder to travel the world..."

Ryan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.

"Respected Tree King Warrior, please step into the light circle in front and go to the Tree King Palace."

The host's voice came: "Every new Tree King Warrior must go to the Tree King Palace to meet the Tree King's spokesperson-the Princess of the Forest."

A large light circle slowly appeared on the ground in front of Ryan.

Unlike the previous teleportation light circle, this large light circle is green and gold, with gorgeous patterns around it, which is extraordinary at first glance.

Ryan looked up and looked at the sky.

Since the battle, he can hear the host's voice, but he has never seen the host's figure.

"Is it some other technology? Or is the host's strength far stronger than mine?"

Ryan guessed in his heart.

After a little hesitation, he still took a step and stepped into the green and gold light circle.

Rashly violating the tradition of this place is likely to cause unknown crises.

Ryan's purpose of coming here is to help Freni complete the assessment, and the higher his status, the more he can help Freni.

Therefore, a trip to the Tree King Temple is inevitable.

The only one who is at risk is the "Princess of the Forest" mentioned by the host.

It is unknown what the "Princess of the Forest" thinks of him, a human tree king fighter.

From the host's previous words, it can be vaguely seen that humans may be very rare in the tree capital, Saint Millis.

Not only that, the previous tree king fighter, Diana, has a face almost identical to Freni.

This is the place where Freni was tested, and such a situation is definitely not a coincidence.

And Diana became a tree king fighter a hundred years ago, and now she is the guardian of the tree capital, Saint Millis.

Although he defeated Diana of the fourth level, Ryan did not think that he had the strength to defeat Diana in her true form.

Therefore, if he wanted to find Diana and find out her relationship with Freni, it would definitely not work by force.

To achieve this, it is estimated that it would fall on the head of the so-called spokesperson for the tree king, the "Princess of the Forest".

As Ryan stepped in, a green and gold light shone in front of him!

When his vision returned to normal, Ryan found that he had come to a large tree hole with an antique style.

"Tick..."

The sound of liquid drops dripping sounded, and Ryan looked in the direction of the sound. What came into his eyes was a clear pool with a radius of about ten meters.

A woman wearing a white robe with green patterns was floating in the center of the pool, letting the drops dripping from above fall on her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, my fighter, to meet you in this posture."

The woman closed her eyes tightly, but Ryan could feel the other party's eyes on him.

Familiar voice, familiar face.

Ryan was shocked and said: "Captain?!"
