Chapter 95: Do you want to be my student?

Master Orion waved his hand, a subtle gesture that allowed Ling Xi to relax, siltly signaling that she could stand down.

He th shifted his gaze back to Ram, patitly waiting for the young man's response.

Ram, however, felt an overwhelming weight pressing down on him.

The familiar sight of Ling Xi—he had countered before—left him speechless, although he didn't know her much, seeing her so respectful to the other party, he also concluded that the middle-aged man was of high status.

'Could he really evolve her to a higher state?' His heart sank as he instinctively activated his Spiritual Eye to check her attributes.

But once again, his sight was met with those question marks, obscuring her true stats and reinforcing what he already knew deep down: he wasn't strong ough.

Ling Xi, unaware of what had happed, simply smiled at Ram. With a heavy sigh, Ram shook his head, his voice laced with reluctant honesty. "No, I can't."

He knew to evolve or upgrade someone like Ling Xi would require an astronomical amount of life ergy, far beyond what he currtly possessed.

Ts of thousands, if not millions of points. He could only dream of wielding that much power with his currt strgth.

Master Orion observed Ram's response with a knowing look. He hadn't expected the boy to succeed, not with a Wood Spirit like Ling Xi, but it was important to test the limits.

"Too high for you, huh?" he remarked, though his voice carried no hint of disappointmt. With a smooth, almost effortless motion, he reached out again, his hand seeming to grasp at the very air.

This time, a new Wood Spirit appeared in front of Ram, and his eyes wided at the sight. The creature stood tall, its body an intriguing bld of humanoid features and plant-like elemts.

A large, blooming flower served as its head, the petals vibrant and resembling a violet or orchid.

Its slder, elongated female body was draped in moss, and from its arms and torso, tdrils and vines twisted and extded outward, giving it a weird but elegant look.

Ram's Spiritual Eye activated almost reflexively. This time, the data appeared with clarity:

[ Name: Enchanted Vine]

[ Level: Silver (99%)]

[ Race: Wood Spirit]

[ Quality: Rare]

His hand hovered over the Wood Spirit's body, and slowly, cautiously, he began to infuse his life ergy into its body.

The creature stood still, its floral head tilted slightly, as though in a trance. Ram could feel its stillness, almost as if it had tered a state, absorbing his ergy without resistance.

Ram noticed that the Wood Spirit was already on the verge of a breakthrough, its experice nearly maxed out at 99%.

It only took a three hundred points of his life ergy before he felt a shift.

The creature's vines that had once lain dormant began to quiver with newfound vitality, and the petals on its head grew more vibrant, glowing as the creature reached its evolution threshold.

The atmosphere a them seemed to warp as the air itself grew dse with reiki, the spiritual ergy swirling and boiling toward the creature.

Ram stepped back instinctively, unsure of what would happ next. He had done his part, and now all he could do was wait.

Master Orion, who had be watching closely the tire time, gave a satisfied smile.

With a casual wave of his hand, the Wood Spirit, which was still in the process of evolution disappeared, vanishing as though it had never be there at all.

Ram blinked, startled at how effortlessly the creature was dismissed.

"Good, I don't know how you were able to store so much ergy," Master Orion remarked, his tone carrying a note of approval. "I can see why you've piqued my interest."

The middle-aged man turned his piercing gaze back to Ram, who was still recovering from the effort.

"Don't worry," Master Orion continued with a casual shrug, "I didn't just pull that spirit from nowhere. I've st it back to where it came from, in the same condition."

Ram, still catching his breath, met Master Orion's eyes. He couldn't shake the feeling of awe and wariness that this man inspired in him.

"What do you want from me?" he asked again, his voice steady despite his racing thoughts.

Master Orion's smile wided, but it was a smile that carried no warmth, only a hint of calculation.

"You have pottial," he said plainly. "Pottial that could be... very useful. Do you want to be my studt? How?"
