Chapter 52: Ling Xi, Wood Spirit World

Ram stood transfixed as the mysterious figure emerged from the dense forest.

She appeared to be around 18 or 19 years old, with striking red hair, a beautiful face, and elegant horns that added an air of mystique.

She wore a green leafy headband that exuded an ethereal charm, harmonizing perfectly with the natural surroundings.

Without further thought, Ram activated his Spiritual Eye.

[ Name: Unknown]

[ Race: Forest Spirit]

[ Level: ???]

[ Skills: ???]

"Forest Spirit?" Ram murmured, curiosity and awe filling his voice as he looked at the girl in front of him. He couldn't determine her level or skills; the Spiritual Eye revealed only her race.

He knew that Forest Spirits were advanced evolutions or mutants of wood spirits, more powerful than their ordinary counterparts, much like the difference between a Rare profession and a Hero profession, but he never expected to see one in this mysterious place.

"Hey, are you a new wood spirit?" The girl's words echoed in his mind, not as an audible sound but as a direct thought.

She paused, examining him closely, and her voice took on a sharper edge as she proceeded. "No, you're human, aren't you? What's your name?"

Ram was shocked that she could discern that he was human with just a single glance.

At the moment, he was disguised in Bio-Armor; aside from a few patches of human skin, his body was encased in bark, making him indistinguishable from most wood spirits.

Even he would not have recognized the difference without using his Spiritual Eye, yet the girl before him had effortlessly perceived it.

The Forest Spirit chuckled, her laughter blending with the rustling leaves.

"Don't worry, you are safe here. Although it's rare for humans to enter the Wood Spirit World, you are not the only one. I am Ling Xi," she said, pausing before repeating her question again.

"What's your name?" Her soft voice echoed in his mind.

[ Name: Heart Wood Tree]

[ Level: Gold (Tier-4)]

[ Race: Ancient Spirit Tree]

[ Quality: General]

[ Physique: 170]

[ Spirit: 321]

[ Skills:

[Nexus of Unity]: The Heartwood Tree serves as the central hub for the shared consciousness of wood spirits, allowing them to communicate and connect.

[Echoing Whispers]: The Heartwood Tree can communicate with other ancient spirit trees across vast distances, sharing knowledge and insights.

[Wood Spirit Guardian]: The Heartwood Tree can summon distant wood spirits to protect the spirit world.

[Vital Essence Flow]: The tree channels Life Essence from the surroundings, sustaining the life and energy of the wood spirits it's connected with.]

"Interesting, the Spiritual Eye seems to be able to check details of Gold-level entities," Ram pondered silently while examining the Heart Wood Tree.

However, when he attempted to appraise Ling Xi's information again out of curiosity, the familiar string of question marks persisted. "Is she beyond Gold level?"

"The Heart Wood tree is a variant similar to the Titan Wood tree, born from the seeds of Life Spirit Tree.

However, unlike the Titan Wood tree, the Heart Wood trees can only thrive in this Spirit World created by the Mother Tree," While Ram was still confused, Ling Xi explained, bringing him back to his senses.

"This is the Heart of the village, home to numerous similar villages within the Wood Spirit World, inhabited by hundreds of thousands of wood spirits. It embodies the collective wisdom of generations and acts as our spiritual epicenter."
