Chapter 6575 Fertilizing a Tree

Ves experimented with the Soul Whip Technique as if it was the latest toy in his possession.

He unskillfully waved his arm about and watched as the Soul Whip noodled around like a floppy snake.

The enlightenment fruit taught him how to create a Soul Whip, but did not pass on the skills on how to handle this weapon.

It didn't matter to Ves. As long as he could make it hit what he wanted, there was no need to perfect his whipping skills.

One of the downsides of the technique imparted by the latest fruit was that it only taught him the most essential and basic instructions of creating a Soul Whip.

It did not appear to be too powerful or possess a lot of depth. The lack of strange descriptions and abstruse meanings meant it was simple for Ves to master the technique, but it also meant that he would have to work out how to improve and adjust the parameters of the Soul Whip by himself.

As Ves and his former student left the Wishing Fountain and moved to their next step, he already began to experiment with the new technique.

Instead of channeling pure darkness energy into the intangible whip, he also began to channel each of the five elements in succession.

The results were... mixed.

The Soul Whip mixed with fire energy literally flamed out. It was as if the darkness energy and fire energy mutually destroyed each other.

Infusing water energy seemed to make the whip heavier and move like an eel, but it also lost much of its threat. It became useless!

Earth energy simply caused the whip to become solid and rigid, thereby turning into a rod that lacked the fluidity of a whip.

Blending the whip with wood energy did... something, but Ves could not determine what. He likely had to use it on a target in order to know for sure.

When he finally tried it out with metal energy, he seemed to have turned the whip into a... needle.

"Hm. Funny!"

It was clear that simple blending of other E energy attributes did not yield any useful improvements. He would have to employ more sophisticated methods in order to successfully evolve the Soul Whip.

Ves was not quite sure whether it was worth it to invest his time in this endeavor,

He shrugged and set this matter aside. He would revisit it when it became clear that it would be helpful for him to form a stronger whip.

He visited the Divine Bazaar next. Most of the stalls and shops remained the same, but a new clearing had formed in the center that became occupied by a large and ostentatious wooden pavilion.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When the pair of mech designers entered the pavilion, they saw no signs of life, but numerous display cases showing many different items.

Just as expected, these display cases offered a large variety of low-level items for sale on a fixed basis. Attribute Candies, potions, medical supplies and other goods could be bought for dozens of AP each.

"This is a good place." Ketis said. "We don't have to wait for the right rotation to obtain the stuff we need anymore."

"That's true. It's too bad we don't have the AP to spare for these goods at the moment." The two memorized the items for sale and soon left the Divine Bazaar. They climbed up the mountaintop and soon reached the Tree of Possibilites. Compared to before, it had grown taller and formed more branches. The amount of enlightenment fruits available for exchange still remained the same, unfortunately. What was new was that Ketis previously dumped the corpse of a high-caste orven naval captain at the base of the tree.

The corpse had disappeared. The roots of the tree had sucked out all of the nutrients until there was nothing left.

As a consequence, one of the branches had grown a conspicuously glowing golden enlightenment fruit.

It beckoned to Ves and Ketis as if it was a piece of forbidden fruit.

Though Ves had a suspicion that he could pluck the fruit with no issue, he did not make any moves to do so as it belonged to Ketis.

rewards in return.

Ves sighed.

"Would you do me a favor, Ketis? If you ever obtain a golden enlightenment fruit that you don't already need, please show it to me first. If I do not need it, you can give it to

others." The swordmaster nodded. "I will, but only if Joshua and my children do not already need the knowledge that the golden enlightenment fruit contains. They will probably need it much more than you, no offense."

"It's okay. I would have made the same decision if I was in your shoes."

The latest feature of the Tree of Possibilities could still play a useful role, but it

required the users to put active effort into hunting down high-value enemies. After leaving the Tree of Possibilities, the pair of mech designer entered the Mission

Hall next.

It had grown larger and featured a much more sizable Mission Board.

Both mech designers studied the Missions made available this time and indeed

confirmed that there were three times more than unusual.

The additional quantity also led to another improvement that hadn't been mentioned

in the changelog.

The variety of Missions had increased!

There was greater room for the Mission Hall to issue Missions that were much

different from the usual ones.

Ves paid particularly close attention to the much more numerous D-rank Mission.

[Forge 5 Bastard Swords]

[Pray to Su-thaneexi's once every 37.4 hours for a total of 7 times]

[Demoncast a Pain Blade]

[Design a Cannoncer Mech] [Repair 5 Heavily Damaged Mechs]

None of these Missions imposed any heavy demands. Ves could complete several of

them in the span of a few days.

The rewards for these low-rank Missions did not amount to much. He would only gain

around 5 to 10 AP if he satisfied the requirements without overperforming. That was still a good deal, though! The amount of time that Ves had to invest to

complete these Missions was not that big of a deal!

He could easily complete half a dozen of them and earn several dozen AP. As long as he

did this enough times, he would soon be able to afford an expensive enlightenment fruit or pay for a substantial upgrade! "Earning AP has become much easier!"
