Chapter 26

C26 – To be Serious!

“Ding! The Small Spell you are observing is currently being analyzed.”

“Analysis complete. Small Spell: Tree Spirit (0/100000): Consumes a vast amount of mana to fully transform into a tree spirit.”

Choo Qin had never before heard the Upgrade System use the term “analyze.”

Though it lasted less than a second, it gave him a newfound respect for the Small Spell.

Qiao Guan’s aura grew increasingly menacing. To the naked eye, he appeared to have become a tree person. Yet, to those attuned to magic, he seemed like a green core, utterly insulating himself from the surrounding magical energies.

Without warning, a shadow darted by. Choo Qin, sensing danger, instinctively conjured an ice shield.

“Boom!”

The green blur collided violently with Choo Qin’s ice shield, shattering it to pieces.

Choo Qin, who had never before been injured in this world, was hurled several meters away!

“It’s the Small Spell! A Sorcerer is actually casting it!”

Even after Qiao Guan’s transformation into a tree person, the merchants and nobles remained, transfixed. High-level mage battles were rare, especially within the city.

Witnessing the transcendence of a life’s essence, they were spellbound.

“Is this the power of the Small Spell? Why do I feel an urge to bow in reverence?”

“Hahaha, that Loser Royal Highness is truly finished now. He won’t be able to withstand such damage.”

“Did you see him get blown away? The gap between an ordinary mage and a Sorcerer is substantial, and Elder Qiao is a venerable figure among Sorcerers!”

He muttered under his breath, and the Small Spell Tree Spirit he had just learned leveled up, amassing 100,000 experience points, then 1,000,000, and finally 100,000,000.

It took a whopping 100,000,000 experience points to upgrade the Small Spell to its highest level!

On the skill panel, the name of the Small Spell had changed to “Small Spell: Everlasting Green!”

“Boom!”

Choo Qin closed his eyes, tuning into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as dark clouds amassed overhead.

A beam of pure green light bathed the area.

All around the Rain Listening Pavilion, and within a thousand-meter radius, green branches began to emerge.

They grew at an alarming rate, reaching nearly a hundred meters in height in less than ten seconds, towering over all of Long Song City!

​”Roar!”

The branches converged, forming the vague outline of a giant – the very image of Choo Qin!

“You want my life? Did you think to ask me first?”

Next to Choo Qin’s towering form, Qiao Guan’s Tiny Treant seemed no more significant than an ant to a giant.

“Die!”

Qiao Guan couldn’t escape in time and was engulfed by the green light. Then, the vines descended upon him en masse.

The once formidable Elder Qiao was reduced to mere vine fodder.

The Sorcerer, Qiao Guan, met his end.
