Chapter 338 Tang San’s Choice for Second Spirit Ring: Emerald Fern
"Amplify your perception? Sense the sounds of all plants and become the ruler of plants!"
Tang San was almost speechless. He didn't expect that the innate ability of his Blue Silver Grass was so powerful.
"It's more than that!"
Zhou Qing added, "Even more, your Blue Silver Grass's perception talent is constantly evolving. Who knows, one day you might be able to listen to the sounds of nature, and even hope to harness the power of all plant elements in nature."
How strong is the power of nature?
Even the tiny blue silver grass, at the moment of taking root and sprouting, has the perseverance to push away the heavy rocks on its body!
Tang San couldn't imagine how powerful he would be if he could listen to the natural sounds of the entire Douluo Continent and rely on the power of natural plants.
[The talent of sensing the power of nature is probably not only possessed by Blue Silver Grass, but perhaps by most plant martial spirits. It is just that the spirit masters cannot think of this... As Brother Qing said, all spirit masters on the continent are eager to have the ability to attack. Even those with auxiliary, healing, or food skills have the heart of a fighting spirit master and hope to have a powerful attack spirit skill.]
【but--】
[Attack skills are the least cost-effective skills for assisting the growth and evolution of the martial soul! They are also the worst skills! After all, the purpose of attack is to defeat the opponent and kill the enemy, and killing people... In fact, there is no need to add an attack skill to your martial soul! ]
[No! Offensive skills are still necessary! The soul masters in this world have a very weak basic theoretical system for soul power cultivation and a very limited understanding of the human body, especially civilian soul masters. It is impossible for them to create their own soul skills. Once the meridians are damaged, they don't know how to recuperate or repair them. And soul masters are warlike. If civilian soul masters don't have the ability to attack, they can't grow at all...]
The more he thought about it, the more Tang San understood Zhou Qing's strength.
It's not just his talent and strength, but also his unusual way of thinking.
The thinking of the fallen is also different from that of ordinary people, but they have given up the bottom line of being human and started to harm innocent people. However, Zhou Qing is different, all his actions are in line with the rules.
However, he himself is not pedantic.
For example: secretly keeping a storage soul guide! Secretly keeping a Rakshasa Dharmakaya!
"So, Brother Qing, which plant soul beast should I choose for my second soul ring?" Tang San was looking forward to Zhou Qing's choice for him.
"Emerald Fern."
Zhou Qing took out the "Encyclopedia of Plants and Soul Beasts" from the gray bag and turned to the page that depicted the emerald fern.
The emerald fern looks similar to upside-down garlic. Its rhizome is segmented and has a garlic-like flower bud on the top, which is a transparent emerald color.
It is not accurate to call it a flower bud. It is not a petal but the leaf of an emerald fern. The real flower is inlaid in it, similar to an emerald green diamond, with a round pit in the center.
Surrounding this diamond flower are many small green balls, guarding the diamond in the center like stars surrounding the moon.
The reproduction method of this emerald fern is also very special.
When the breeze blows, the garlic-like leaf bracts on the top of the emerald fern will tremble, causing the small green and yellow dots to jump and flutter up and down.
When one of the small dots falls into the pit in the center of the diamond-shaped flower, the diamond flower will close.
The weight of the diamond will then continue to increase over the next month until it bends the stem of the emerald fern, causing it to fall.
This "diamond" is believed to be the fruit or seed of the emerald fern. Once it falls into the suitable soil environment, it will take root and sprout, and those small yellow dots are the pollen of the emerald fern.
The Emerald Fern is a self-pollinating plant.
But to be more precise, Zhou Qing believes that after the emerald fern completes the so-called "pollination" process, the diamond-like thing is not a fruit or seed, but a spore sac that wraps the spores.
The Emerald Fern should be a staged plant soul beast that is in the process of evolving from ferns to gymnosperms and angiosperms. The purpose of evolution is to survive better.
Therefore, even if it is an intermediate transitional stage, as long as this stage is enough for them to survive, and survive very well, and grow their population, then there is no reason for them to continue evolving.
This is the case with the Emerald Fern.
The reason why Zhou Qing provided Tang San with this option was precisely because this plant martial spirit in the transitional stage of evolution possessed a "sensitivity" that other plants that had already evolved into corresponding complete plants did not possess.
After all, plant soul beasts are different from ordinary plants.
From a species perspective, it is difficult for Emerald Ferns to continue evolving into gymnosperm soul beasts or angiosperm soul beasts, but their ancestors once aspired to evolve into gymnosperms and angiosperms, just like other types of ferns.
Although they have adapted to this state after evolving to the emerald fern stage and can be considered to have "given up halfway", the instinct to desire evolution has been retained.
If plant soul beasts want to complete their racial evolution, they need to sense the elemental energy between heaven and earth, so the emerald fern possesses a powerful perception ability that ordinary plants do not have.
When other organisms approach the emerald fern, the leaves on its top will automatically close, enclosing the spores and sporangium inside to protect them.
Plant soul masters who obtain the Emerald Fern Soul Ring can keenly perceive that their senses have been enhanced several times when using soul skills.
The effect of their spirit skills is only one, which is to produce a seed or fruit according to the characteristics of various plant martial spirits.
This fruit and seed cannot be eaten, but can be used for planting. Under the influence of soul power, it can grow into a plant that is exactly the same as one's own plant martial soul.
This plant can amplify the soul master's perception of similar plants and assist the soul master in his cultivation.
Moreover, this martial soul plant, created by the martial soul using the soul skills provided by the emerald fern, can exist for a long time as long as it is not destroyed - surviving just like a real plant.
Even if the soul master is killed, this martial soul plant can continue to exist.
But the defects are also obvious:
That is, before this martial soul plant is destroyed, the soul master will not be able to use the soul skills of the emerald fern to create a second one.
After learning about the advantages and disadvantages of the soul skills that the Emerald Fern brought to soul masters, Tang San did not hesitate to choose it as the first choice for the second soul ring of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
The innate ability of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul is perception, and the soul skill ability brought by the Emerald Fern is to enhance the plant soul master's perception of plants, which complement each other.
The emerald fern also has strong vitality, and its properties are consistent with those of the blue silver grass.
As for the lack of attack and control abilities...
In which of Tang San's battles did he rely on the attacking ability of his martial spirit?
Can't use non-spirit weapons in the Continental Elite Competition?
It doesn't matter!
Now, it is impossible for him to add an attack-type soul skill in order to make his martial soul have combat capability.
According to Zhou Qing's new classification of the soul master profession, even if he cannot use hidden weapons, he can act as an assistant or assassin with a clear positioning.
If the Clear Sky Hammer is included, he is still a warrior!
