Chapter 237 Flirting

Different from the real power brought by the growth of [Physical Body].

The growth of [Spirituality] is more superficial and tends to be spiritual, but it is not inferior to [Physical Body].

It can only be said that the two have different focuses and complement each other.

The use of [Secondary Gold Droplet] and [Morning Light Droplet of Forest], two treasures that enhance spirituality, has greatly increased Ryan's spirituality without the premise of rank promotion.

——

[Spirituality]: 372.8→432.8

[Physical Body]: 448.16

——

The gap between [Spirituality] and [Physical Body], which had originally widened, is now close to each other. This feeling of coordination makes Ryan look comfortable and think about it.

He always feels that there is a huge secret between [Spirituality] and [Physical Body]. Unfortunately, he has no way of knowing it now.

Ryan did not rush to teleport out of the tree house. He sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated quietly.

After returning from this trip, his physical and spiritual strength have made great progress. Although with his current swordsmanship attainments, it is not a problem to use the sudden increase in strength, but it takes a certain amount of time for the body to adapt instinctively, so that it can exert 100% combat power.

Inside the holy tree...

Ryan has a hunch that everything he wants to know will be revealed there.

And in such a dangerous place, the stronger the strength, the more secure it is.

The time of meditation passed quickly, and before he knew it, 10 hours had passed quietly.

In the tree house.

Ryan slowly opened his eyes, and in his pupils, there was a blue and red light flowing, and soon, it disappeared.

"Soon..."

He whispered to himself.

Although the Azure Swordsmanship and the Burning Swordsmanship were promoted to the Grandmaster level by trickery, even the weakest Grandmaster level was still a Grandmaster. With the blessing of the Grandmaster's perception, Ryan's proficiency in these two swordsmanships was rapidly improving.

He thought to himself that it would not be long before he could improve these two swordsmanship to the true master level.

By then, the three masters' swordsmanship would merge, and his strength would surely be further improved.

It was even possible to glimpse the realm above the master.

"Huh..."

Ryan stood up with a light breath.

He stepped into the slowly flowing emerald green magic circle not far ahead, and with a flash of light, he returned to the Tree King Palace where the Princess of the Forest, Evelina, was.

"So fast?"

Seeing Ryan walk out of the teleportation magic circle, the Princess of the Forest, Evelina, was a little surprised.

Although the effect of [Morning Light Droplets of the Forest] was very mild, it was normal for a normal extraordinary person to adapt to such a huge spiritual improvement in three to five days.

And what about the Great Swordsman? At most, it took less than half a day.

Suppressing the surprise in her eyes, the Princess of the Forest, Evelina, calmed down and asked, "Are you ready?

Ryan nodded.

"In that case, please follow me. "The Princess of the Forest, Evelina, turned around, and her graceful back walked towards the clear pool behind.

Ryan raised his eyebrows.

All along, Princess of the Forest, Evelina, had asked him to travel through the teleportation array. Now walking normally made him feel a little strange.

But this thought only flashed through his mind. Ryan raised his foot and followed Princess of the Forest, Evelina, to the pool. He looked at the clear and transparent pool and waited for the other party's next arrangement.

The girl leaned down and tapped the calm pool with her slender fingers, causing violent ripples on its surface.

"The only way to enter the holy tree is in the Tree King Palace."

"Here is the most heavily defended place in the entire Tree Kingdom. Even if someone breaks through the defense here, if I don't open it, even if the true god comes, it will not be able to shake the 'Holy Seal of Thorns' at the entrance. "

Under Ryan's gaze, the water level in the violently surging pool began to drop rapidly, and soon, a dark and bottomless deep hole was revealed.

"Let's go."

Said Princess Evelina of the Forest, taking a step forward and falling into the pit.

Ryan hesitated for a moment, but followed closely.

"Huahua..."

The whistling air flow passed by on both sides at a fast speed, falling a long distance, accompanied by a "plop" sound, Ryan felt that he had fallen into a certain liquid surface.

At this time, the surrounding darkness was dispelled by a ball of green light. Princess Evelina of the Forest, who was suspended in the air, looked at Ryan who fell into the water, and a strange look appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She really couldn't imagine that Mr. Great Swordsman was so powerful, but he couldn't fly...

After the initial surprise, she was more in awe of his strength.

The reason why he can't fly is not because of his strength, but because his realm is not at the fifth level. With a fourth-level body, he has the strength of a sixth-level demigod...

Such talent, even if it is a race of gods, is no more than this, right?

Looking at the calm and elegant Princess of the Forest above, and then looking at himself who was like a drowned chicken, Ryan walked out of the water in silence.

His body shook, and his spirituality burst out, shaking off all the water droplets on his body.

The Princess of the Forest, Evelina, took the initiative to land from mid-air and came to Ryan's side. The emerald green light ball in her hand flew forward, reflecting a huge wooden passage full of thorns and no gaps.

"This is the 'Sacred Seal of Thorns'. As long as you enter from here, you can reach the inside of the Holy Tree." Evelina said softly, and then smiled: "Mr. Great Swordsman, do you want to try the strength of the Holy Seal?"

Seeing the smile in the other party's eyes, Ryan knew that the end of touching the Holy Seal of Thorns would definitely not be very good.

But deep down, he was really curious about the "Holy Seal of Thorns".

What kind of seal is it that even the True God-level existence can't do anything about it?

And since Evelina dared to let him try, it means that a simple attempt will not bring life-threatening dangers, and even, he won't get hurt.

Thinking of this, Ryan stepped forward, came to the "Holy Seal of Thorns", raised his hand and gently touched one of the thorns.

The moment the finger with the dark gold glove touched the thorn, Ryan felt an indescribable pain from body to soul, and instinctively, he immediately withdrew his finger.

It took him a full minute, with a distorted face, to recover from the severe pain.

It's just a thorn...

And the number of thorns in the wooden passage in front of him, which is unknown how long, is simply incalculable.

Ryan's eyes twitched.

The contact just now not only caused him unbearable pain, but also caused his vitality to drop by 1% of the total amount.

If it was fixed at 1% per second, it would be fine. If every time he touched a thorn, he would have to endure a 1% reduction in total vitality per second, then the scene...

No wonder even the true gods could not do anything about it.

Seeing Ryan's frustrated look, the forest princess Evelina beside him chuckled. Instead of rubbing salt on someone's wound, she came to the wooden passage and cut the skin on her index finger.

Blood beads with bright red and emerald light flew out of the wound one by one and fell on the thorns.

After waiting for about ten minutes, all the thorns in the wooden passage began to shrink, and soon, an unobstructed passage appeared in front of Ryan.

"Please, Mr. Great Swordsman." The forest princess Evelina took the initiative to come in front of him. Ryan did not dare to neglect and hurried to follow.

He noticed that the passage behind him was closed again as he and Princess Evelina of the Forest moved forward.

Obviously, the blood of the Forest Elves was just a medium, and what really controlled the "Sacred Seal of Thorns" was something deeper.

As they moved forward, thanks to the illumination of the emerald green light ball floating above their heads, it did not seem dark. After about half an hour, a bright outline appeared in the passage ahead.

We are at the end of the passage!

Ryan was refreshed.

Being in the wooden passage, he was always in a state of fear.

Although he knew that the thorns would not really fall on him with the control of Princess Evelina of the Forest, what if... once he was pierced by so many thorns, he would die in pain.

Fortunately, it was finally over.

Walking out of the wooden passage, the fresh air that came towards him made Ryan relax all over.

The next moment, as the scene ahead came into view, Ryan's face showed a strong shock.

Before entering this place, he had many guesses about the situation inside the holy tree.

A world full of giant trees? A normal world like the outside world?

Too many, too many...

But the scene before his eyes was beyond his expectations.

The first thing that caught his eyes was the tree wall that was as deep and boundless as the starry sky, with a little starlight.

I don’t know how high it is, I don’t know how far it is, it seems that I have really come to the infinite universe, and my sense of insignificance has never been so strong.

After more than ten seconds, Ryan came back to his senses from the shock and set his eyes on the giant cocoon with an extremely strong sense of existence in the center of the holy tree.

The starlight was woven into silk, forming a huge cocoon with a height of more than a kilometer.

The vigorous vitality rushed to his face, as if facing the essence of the word "life".

"Holy..."

Looking at this giant starlight cocoon, this word first appeared in Ryan's mind.

"Sure enough." At the same time, the tone of Princess Evelina of the Forest, who was standing next to Ryan, was also extremely complicated: "Lady Diana, she voluntarily went to die."

"And there is only one reason why she did this."

"That is, she is absolutely sure that the new member of the Azure Dragon from the 'Holy Temple' has a better talent than her."

"And now, this 'Azure Cocoon' is about to hatch..."

"Something is wrong!"

Suddenly, the tone of Princess Evelina of the Forest changed abruptly, her eyes stared at the gray mark that flashed on the 'Azure Cocoon', and her face turned pale.

Because of excessive shock, the energy fluctuations on her body were leaked and disordered.

"Demigod peak?"

Aside, from the energy fluctuations leaked from Princess Evelina of the Forest, Ryan roughly guessed the strength of the girl.

However, what he cared more about was the reason for the girl's misfortune.

"Your Highness, what did you find?"

This time, Ryan was responded to by a long silence.

After ten minutes, the somewhat distraught Princess Evelina of the Forest looked at Ryan with a pale face: "...After all, it's too late."

"Tell me first, what happened?" Ryan said in a deep voice.

"...At this point, there is nothing to hide." Princess Evelina of the Forest lowered her head and said in a non-angry tone: "The Kingdom of Trees is an empire built on the sacred tree, and it is also the most powerful country in the world."

"All spirits bowed and all living beings were subjects, but that was a thousand years ago."

"At that time, in the Kingdom of Trees, the number of true gods of level seven and above could not be counted on one hand, and the number of demigods of level six was even dozens or hundreds."

"The reason why it has declined to its current state in just a thousand years is because of the invasion of an 'unknown'."

"He is different from spirituality, nor is he magic power, but another kind of energy with completely different properties and characteristics."

"He is invisible and formless. When he first appeared, no one noticed him. When someone finally showed sexual characteristics, everything was too late."

"Scholars named this 'unknown' existence 'emptiness', because the energy in the creatures eroded by 'emptiness' will disappear, and what replaces it is the brutal and terrifying physical strength."

Speaking of this, Princess Evelina of the Forest looked at Ryan with some ripples in her eyes.

The strong physical strength is somewhat similar to the great swordsman...

"Because of the appearance of 'Kong', the number of strong people has gradually decreased. The stronger the existence, the easier it is to be eroded by 'Kong'. Only in the core circle of the Holy Tree can the invasion of 'Kong' be avoided."

"However, when everyone knew this information, more than 90% of the strong people had become puppets of 'Kong'."

"The remaining strong people joined the Kingdom of Trees, and while they were struggling to survive, they also used the power of the Holy Tree to resist the powerful 'Kong's puppets.'"

"Now, 'Kong' has even invaded the interior of the Holy Tree..."

"Those gray rays are the characteristics of 'Kong'..."

The tone of the Forest Princess Evelina was reduced to a low voice, and the sense of despair contained in it was something that Ryan, who had never experienced it, could not understand.

"Calm down." Ryan said sternly, "What should we do now?"

"Is there any chance of recovery?"

Ryan's rebuke slowly restored the confused eyes of Forest Princess Evelina: "...I'm not sure."

"But now that things have come to this, there is only one way left."

"Stop the Holy Temple."

"Because of the intervention of 'Void', once the 'Holy Temple' is completed, the one that is born will no longer be the Azure Dragon that protects the Holy Tree, but the 'Puppet of the Sky' that becomes stronger based on the Azure Dragon."

"At that time, no one will be a match."

"The Kingdom of Trees, and even the entire world, will completely lose hope."

'There is only one way to stop the 'Holy Temple', and that is to smash the 'Azure Cocoon' before the 'Holy Temple' is completed! '

"But the strength of the 'Azure Cocoon'..."

Before Forest Princess Evelina finished her words, Ryan took a step forward.

"You should have said it earlier."

Ryan smiled, raised his hand to hold the hilt of the greatsword behind him, and came to the thousand-meter-long "Cyan Cocoon":

"When I saw this thing just now, I wanted to try it out to see whether its shell was harder or my greatsword was sharper."
