The Flower King's expression was grim. After a moment of thought, he muttered, "The aura of wood here is unusually dense. The Wood Origin must be inside! This Wood Origin has clearly gained sentience. Even though Zhaang Ye got here first, it will still take him time to subdue it. I still have a chance!"
At this thought, the Flower King gritted his teeth and pushed his Body Technique to its limit, continuing his pursuit of Zhaang Ye.
Deep within the forest, Zhaang Ye raced onward at full speed.
Zhaang Ye's body seemed to have lost all weight, completely unaffected by gravity. The dense tangle of branches and Snake Vines ahead couldn't hinder his flight in the slightest; he could move as fast as he pleased. A feeling of omnipotence, of being able to soar to the heavens and burrow into the earth, welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but laugh aloud.
