At this moment, Yu Zi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly as his gaze fell on the other half of the Lightning Spirit Grass. 

“Lightning Spirit Grass…” muttering, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes flickered incessantly.

This was a companion Spirit Herb to the Lightning-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine, just like the Blood Vine.

However, unlike the Blood Vine, the Lightning Spirit Grass had not yet developed sentience, which was a bit regretful.

Even so, the Innate Talent of the Lightning Spirit Grass could not be underestimated.

Innate Talent: Gathering Lightning – It can gather a large amount of Lightning-Attribute Spiritual Energy with oneself as the center, transforming the surrounding area into a world of lightning.

It was quite an extraordinary Innate Talent. Unfortunately, Lightning Spirit Grass had not gained sentience. So, even if it possessed the Innate Talent, it would not be able to use it.

“Heaven has bestowed it upon you. If you don’t take it, then I’ll have to take it from you.” Smiling, Yu Zi Yu’s branch around the Lightning Spirit Grass tightened around it.

The next moment, a crisp sound echoed, as the Lightning Spirit Grass in Yu Zi Yu’s branch shattered into pieces.

Immediately after, in Yu Zi Yu’s expectant gaze, the shattered half of the Lightning Spirit Grass diffused into streams of blue energy.

“Innate Talent: Gathering Lightning…” muttering to himself, Yu Zi Yu smiled in his heart.

This was what he wanted.

From the moment he saw the Lightning Spirit Grass, he had set his sights on this Innate Talent.

Absorbing Lightning-Attribute Spirit Stone could not compare to absorbing the lightning straight from nature. It was more pure and refreshing. However, at the beginning, even Yu Zi Yu could not immediately adapt to the violent nature of natural lightning.

For this reason, he had to use Lightning-Attribute Spirit Stone to gradually acclimate his body to Lightning Energy.

Now, after a month and a half, Yu Zi Yu felt that most of his body had transformed into the Lightning Body, and it was about to steal this Innate Talent.

…

Focusing his gaze, and gazing at the newly added Innate Talent on the status screen, Yu Zi Yu stated without a moment of hesitation, “System, upgrade the Innate Talent–Gathering Lightning.”

As soon as Yu Zi Yu requested, a cold synthesized electronic voice rang in his ear,
