Chapter 83: Wood-Elemental Magic Talent, Pummeling A Gigantic Python

The Milky Way dazzled as it hung suspended in the sky. Sparkling and brilliant, it was vast and boundless.

Meng Lei sat cross-legged on a large tree fork as he did his daily meditation. Cultivation was a process akin to rowing against the tide—one must constantly forge ahead, or else they would be driven back. One must be diligent and relentless with their cultivation.

The forest in the night wasn’t a quiet and peaceful place, and beast roars distracted one’s mind every once in a while. Meng Lei had already gotten used to it by now, though, and he concentrated on refining his magic power and improving his spiritual power.

Little Teddy lay sprawled on the tree branch beside him, deep asleep. Its snores thundered all the way up to the skies, but in spite of this, its sense of vigilance was exceedingly high. Not even the slightest bit of activity escaped its ears and nose, proving itself to be even more useful than an actual poodle. As a result, Meng Lei could meditate at ease.

“How strange!” Meng Lei suddenly opened his eyes. “Why am I able to sense Wood Elements all of a sudden? This shouldn’t be happening. Are the Wood Elements especially rich and abundant here?”

Countless magic elements floated in the air around him. Dense and packed as if stars in the night sky, they sparkled brilliantly and spread everywhere in a vast and boundless manner.

There were fiery red Fire Elements, silvery-white Thunder Elements, and ocher-yellow Earth Elements. The three different types of magic elements added radiance and beauty to each other, and they looked as if they were fairies.

Prior to this day, Meng Lei had only been able to detect these three types of magic elements, and he’d also been meditating and refining these same three types of magic elements. But now, it’d actually increased by another type!

Green magic elements!

They were obviously Wood Elements!

Now, mixed among the Fire, Thunder, and Earth Elements were countless Wood Elements. Much like a myriad of green fireflies, they circled around Meng Lei as they danced.

Even if Meng Lei didn’t actively try to absorb them, they made their way wave upon wave into his body anyway. He was just like a magnet or a whirlpool that was continuously attracting them.

This scene practically couldn’t get any weirder because Meng Lei didn’t have any wood-elemental magic talent at all!

Besides, he had never been able to attract Thunder Elements and Fire Elements in the same way as this, despite his superior-grade thunder-elemental affinity and fire-elemental affinity!

“When did I gain wood-elemental magic talent?” Meng Lei looked absolutely stupefied. “And the magic talent is so crazy, no less. It’s even more terrifying than my thunder-elemental and fire-elemental affinity?!

“But this shouldn’t be happening...

“This didn’t happen at all when I was meditating last night!

“Could it be because of that golden leaf?”

Meng Lei suddenly thought of the golden leaf that had forcibly taken up residence in his sea of consciousness. Thinking back to the events from the day before and today, the biggest change that had taken place was that there was now an additional golden leaf in his sea of consciousness.

“That golden leaf is the cause for me suddenly gaining wood-elemental magic talent? Isn’t that kinda ridiculous?”

A corner of Meng Lei’s mouth was spasming, his mood somewhat complicated. He had initially thought that the golden leaf was an inanimate object because the moment it had entered his sea of consciousness, it had behaved like a grand overlord, indifferent to everything and obeying nothing!

Little did he think that it would actually “bestow” upon him wood-elemental magic talent!

This was honestly too...

“Could it be that it really is like what Ol’ President mentioned? That the golden leaf is a divine weapon of exceptionally high quality, but I’m not qualified to use it yet?” Meng Lei’s eyes were gleaming awfully bright. “I’m gonna strike it rich so bad if that’s really the case!”

“Hehe! Never mind, I’ll just refine some wood-elemental magic power for now. Since I have wood-elemental magic talent now, how can I let it go to waste?”

The night passed peacefully as Meng Lei entered a cultivation frenzy.

Meng Lei was roused from his sleep the next morning.

Roar!
