Hearing this, Anna could hardly conceal the joy welling up in her heart. She exclaimed excitedly, "If I can truly obtain the Seagod Domain, my strength will definitely surpass Xue Qinghe! Hehehe..."
"Stop that silly giggling." Watching Anna snicker, Davis couldn't help but smile, though his tone suddenly shifted.
"Nana, don't celebrate too early. What you are about to undertake are the trials of a deity. The difficulty will likely exceed the tests I underwent in the Capital of Slaughter. Therefore, you must become even stronger right now!"
"Don't worry, Brother. I have this Sacred Wood Essence Left Arm Bone now!" Anna smiled and suddenly channeled her soul power. A glowing emerald soul bone emerged upon her left arm, radiating a soft, gentle light.
"This soul bone grants me a powerful skill called Sacred Wood Body Tempering. It allows me to absorb the essence of plants, enhancing my physique far beyond that of a normal human! My strength will increase, my speed will quicken, and my constitution will toughen—and there is no limit..."
She paused, her eyes gleaming with intensity. "Eventually, I won't even need to use my Martial Soul to possess strength, speed, and defensive capabilities comparable to a Titled Douluo!"
"Excellent! Nana, your top priority right now is to utilize this skill to strengthen your physique!" Davis said encouragingly.
At the same time, he pondered internally. With this skill, Nana should be able to complete the first of the Seagod's Nine Trials with ease, right?
As a transmigrator, he naturally knew the contents of the Seagod's Nine Trials. The very first trial—"Traverse, Double Seagod's Light"—was extremely difficult.
Originally, Anna was merely a twelve-year-old girl. If she were forced to traverse the Seagod's Light, wouldn't the immense pressure crush her into a meat patty?
Considering this, Davis had initially planned to let Anna cultivate for another year before taking her to Seagod Island. However, now that she had obtained this left arm bone, Davis no longer harbored such worries.
Anna could completely rely on absorbing plant essence to temper her physical fitness to a terrifying, superhuman level. When that time came, traversing the Seagod's Light would be as simple as eating or drinking!
Once she completed the first trial, Anna would naturally obtain her seventh soul ring!
That was correct; Davis did not plan to take her hunting for her seventh soul ring. After all, what soul ring could possibly be better than a God-bestowed Spirit Ring?
Besides, lacking a soul ring would not hinder her soul power cultivation. She could use this opportunity to absorb more plant essence and fortify her body further!
"Yes, Brother, I will go to the Sunset Forest immediately!" Anna nodded heavily.
The Sunset Forest had a higher density of vegetation and numerous plant-type soul beasts. Absorbing the power of these plant-type soul beasts would certainly elevate her physique far beyond its previous limits.
"Good, let's go together," Davis proposed. He also wanted to see just how much this left arm soul bone could improve Anna.
Since the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace had been reduced to ruins and the treasury looted clean by him, there was no longer any need for him to stay.
Immediately, Davis took Anna and the others back to the Sunset Forest, arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Gazing at the exceptionally spectacular Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Qiuyang's eyes lit up. He exclaimed in surprise, "The spiritual energy here is so rich! It truly is a magnificent place for cultivation!"
He immediately began circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivate his soul power.
Meanwhile, Davis led Anna into the depths of the Sunset Forest. Here, the peaks were layered with verdant green, and ancient trees towered into the sky. There were tens of thousands of trees, many of which were centuries or even millennia old, along with numerous plant-type soul beasts.
Arriving before a lush, incredibly thick tree—one that two people holding hands couldn't even encircle—Davis said, "Nana, you can start now. Suck this big tree dry of its essence. Let me see what kind of realm your physique can reach!"
"Okay!"
Anna hesitated no longer. She released her Ink Jade Divine Grass Martial Soul, the corners of her mouth curling up to reveal a look of anticipation.
With a flick of her right hand, the Ink Jade Divine Grass abruptly extended thirty meters, transforming into a pitch-black vine whip that tightly wrapped around the trunk of the large tree. Her first soul ring flashed suddenly.
"First Soul Skill: Bloodthirsty Bind."
As soon as the words fell, the Ink Jade Divine Grass emitted a faint dark green glow. Countless barbs suddenly sprouted from the divine grass, like vampire fangs, piercing through the bark and into the trunk. It began to frantically absorb the tree's essence.
At the same time, the large tree, which had grown for at least twenty years, began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually becoming completely necrotic.
"The plant essence is secured. Next is activating the soul bone skill." Having said that, Anna immediately condensed her soul power and injected it into the soul bone.
"Soul Bone Skill: Sacred Wood Body Tempering!"
Boom—
Instantly, the Sacred Wood Essence Left Arm Bone erupted with dazzling green light. It refined the plant essence absorbed by the Ink Jade Divine Grass in a split second, turning it into a stream of pure energy. This energy flowed along her meridians and blood vessels, integrating into every single cell.
Gaining this energy, Anna underwent a complete rebirth; every cell was transforming.
Davis opened his Ice and Fire Evil Eyes to observe Anna's condition. Seeing her cell activity gradually increasing, he couldn't help but inwardly remark, This skill is truly impressive. It has a similar effect to my Ice and Fire Body Tempering, where I absorbed the energy of the spring water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Davis had soaked in the spring water, making his physique far surpass ordinary humans and granting him immunity to water and fire; Anna, on the other hand, was using the energy of plant essence to improve her physical fitness.
After a short while, Anna absorbed all the energy and slowly opened her eyes.
"Nana, how do you feel now?" Davis asked, wearing a curious expression.
Anna didn't answer immediately. She stood up to carefully sense her body. After a moment, she replied, "Brother, I feel my body is very light, and my strength has improved a bit, but other than that... there's nothing else?"
"Hmm... maybe the absorbed plant essence wasn't enough?" Davis speculated. After all, what Anna absorbed was just ordinary plant essence; naturally, it couldn't compare to the energy overflowing from the Ice and Fire Dragon Bones in the spring water.
"To improve this situation, you either need to absorb a massive quantity of trees to trigger a qualitative change through quantitative change, or absorb some special plants..."
Wait a minute. Special plants!
Immortal Herbs!
In a flash of thought, a spark of inspiration struck Davis.
What if Anna directly absorbs the essence of Immortal Herbs and top-tier medicinal herbs, using them to strengthen her physique?
In the past, Anna had consumed Immortal Herbs, but that was to increase her soul power and cultivation. Now, however, Davis wanted Anna to absorb the essence of Immortal Herbs and top-tier medicinal herbs specifically to fortify her body!
"Let's wait a while before discussing that..."
After thinking it over three times, Davis finally reached a conclusion. The essence of Immortal Herbs and top-tier medicinal herbs was too potent. It wouldn't be good if Anna's body couldn't adapt to it immediately.
Taking steps that were too big could lead to a fall.
Davis decided to let Anna absorb ordinary plants first. After she adapted for a period, she could then absorb the essence of Immortal Herbs to temper her physique.
