Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 216: Chapter 215: The Fifth Royal Family, a Powerful Support Species

[Congratulations, mutation successful, Skill “Vast Knowledge” has mutated and changed to “Wise Man’s Light.”]

The skill has mutated!?

Lingxi’s spirit jolted.

His previously dull and tasteless expression instantly vanished.

Wise Man’s Light.

The name alone sounds extraordinary.

And what he couldn’t have anticipated was that, at the same time as the skill mutated, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge actually emitted a unique glow exclusive to the Royal Species!

Skill mutation and Royal Species.

They unexpectedly appeared simultaneously!

Under the embrace of dazzling golden light, the plant before him began to transform rapidly, gradually becoming a tree older and wiser than the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.

It wasn’t over!

At the moment the ancient tree’s mutation was completed, concentric golden rings appeared around the ancient tree, moving from small to large.

They bound the ancient tree, making it appear exceedingly divine.

At the same time, a mysterious aura suddenly spread outward!

“What’s happening? Why do I feel that the surrounding spiritual qi seems denser?”

“I feel it too! Moreover, it’s mixed with a very wondrous power!”

“Hey? My long-stagnant realm actually shows signs of loosening.”

“This power… could it be the power of rule?”

“Rule power? Why would Yellow Sand City have such dense rule power?”

“Could it be someone is breaking through to Tier Ten!?”

The cultivators in Yellow Sand City exclaimed in shock, gazing towards Lingxi’s territory.

Especially those who had witnessed rule power, their eyes widened even further.

Because they knew very well.

Regardless of whether they were Lords or Cultivators, only upon reaching Tier Ten could one come into contact with rule power.

Thus, they couldn’t help but suspect that someone’s trying to break through to Tier Ten in Lingxi’s territory.

Little did they know.

Even Lingxi himself was surprised by the spectacle before his eyes.

He knew the appearance of Royal Species would cause a commotion, but he didn’t expect it to be so extreme.

Could this be the change brought about by the mutation ability’s upgrade?

Watching as the new ancient tree successfully evolved, he quickly checked its attributes.

[Name: Forest Sage (Royal Family)]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: ???]

[Power: ???]

[Constitution: ???]

[Agility: ???]

[Spirit: ???]

[Skill: Wise Man’s Light (Every hour, increases experience for plant species within the territory’s range by 1 point, effective at all levels, gain 1 extra experience point when killing demons not lower than its level, cannot stack.)

Rule Surrounding (Vast knowledge surrounds Forest Sage in rules, doubling friendly skill casting speed within its range and reducing consumption by 20%)

Peaceful Domain (For the love of peace, Forest Sage receives the God of Nature’s blessing, forcibly blocks rule power within range, making all beings below the divine level unable to attack, rendering attacks ineffective, lasting 10 seconds.)

Natural Harmony (Unattacked by anyone, doesn’t attack anyone, all attributes removed, beyond the mundane.)]

[Introduction: The most knowledgeable in the race of Tree Spirits, deeply perceives rule power, blessed by the God of Nature, fond of peace.]

???

At this moment, Lingxi’s feelings are like the description of attributes, all question marks.

But when he saw those skills below, he was shocked to the extreme.

Especially the last skill.

Cannot be attacked by anyone, nor attacks anyone.

This…this…

Is this really an ability that a plant species can have?

If he had this ability, forget Tier Eight and Nine, even Tier Ten and Eleven, he wouldn’t have any fear at all.

Because others simply couldn’t hit him, as if protected by rules!

Unfortunately.

He tried using the power of the Divine Fragment, but couldn’t use this outrageous ability.

Moreover, Forest Sage’s other skills are incredibly outrageous.

Peaceful Domain makes all attacks below divine level ineffective for 10 seconds, it’s practically a divine skill!

Even attacks from Tier Eleven can be rendered completely ineffective for 10 seconds.

Though his own attacks would be ineffective too, it wouldn’t prevent him from using it to escape.

Such a long duration is enough for him to do many things.

The second skill also.

It directly doubles skill casting speed!

It greatly increases the speed of plants’ attacks, even the speed of vine thrusts and various ranged attacks are enhanced.

Not to mention the experience-increasing skill after mutation.

This is simply…

A species born to support!

Also Lingxi’s first purely supportive Royal Species!

At first glance.

Forest Sage seems like an aged wise man, giving him a calm concentration feel, truly very magical.

And after studying Forest Sage’s skills, Lingxi tried to transform it into a hero.

Receiving a message saying the level is not compatible for transformation.

Alright…

It seems this last skill not only removes all attributes, but also level attributes, making the Hero Transformation Pool directly recognize it as an invalid target.

This is the terrifying aspect of rules.

However, there’s some good news.

The species’ only skill has been removed, so when he goes out, he can recruit an Ancient Tree of Knowledge, making adventures and upgrades more convenient.

“Let’s try other skills.”

Let Forest Sage roam freely, Lingxi continued to study other skills, gradually becoming immersed.

Not realizing.

The commotion caused by Forest Sage earlier had already incited a hotbed of discussion throughout Yellow Sand City and beyond.

Many cultivators were busy inquiring about the source of the power that had just emerged, wanting to approach Lin You’s territory, but they were blocked by the Vine Forest outside.

Even among the crowd.

There was a white-haired elder with an imposing presence, who was also stunned by the aura that had just spread out, standing in place, trembling all over.

“Such profound rule aura! This will definitely allow me to break through to Tier Ten!”

Murmuring excitedly, the elder suddenly turned around and found Wei Gang who was patrolling inside the city.

“You say you want to meet our Lord?”

Wei Gang was incredibly surprised, looking at the elder in front of him, whose presence exceeded his own by many times, and he couldn’t help but be on guard.

“Don’t misunderstand.” The elder saw Wei Gang’s wary expression and quickly explained, “I am merely a wandering ascetic cultivator who happened to be in this area. I harbor no ill intentions. I was just moved by the extremely intense rule aura within the city and wish to meet your Lord, might you convey my message?”

The elder did not feel any contempt because Wei Gang’s cultivation level was lower than his.

On the contrary, he was very friendly, even a bit eager.

No choice.

He had been stuck at Tier Nine for too many years.

Just one step away from reaching Tier Ten, but he had been unable to comprehend that final rule.

And just now, when the rule power erupted.

He suddenly felt that his understanding had deepened a layer, which thrilled him. He didn’t expect to find such a fortuitous encounter in such a remote place at the edge of the duchy.

“I can report this, but I cannot guarantee our Lord will meet you.”

Looking at the elder in front of him eagerly, Wei Gang said somewhat reluctantly.

“No problem, as long as you convey my message.”

The elder noticed Wei Gang’s difficulty and naturally understood his concerns.

After struggling for a while, he finally made up his mind and continued, “If necessary, you can tell your Lord, I am willing to offer up my Life Chart, just to seek an opportunity to understand the power of the rule!”

“Hiss! Life Chart!?”

Wei Gang gasped, incredulously looking at the elder.

The Life Chart is what cultivators acquire upon successfully communicating with a deity, evolving their soul for cultivation qualification.

It’s akin to the Territory Core of a lord, being intrinsically connected to one’s life.

Offering one’s Life Chart to someone else is akin to giving one’s life into another’s hands.

He was genuinely shocked.

Although he could also hand over his Life Chart to the Lord without hesitation.

But that was based on his loyalty to Yellow Sand City, to the point of entrusting his life.

Yet this elder was different, being clearly a higher-ranking existence than himself.

How could he dare to neglect this, and immediately said, “Alright, you wait here, I’ll report to the Lord right away.”

“Thank you.”

The elder sighed in relief and waited quietly on the spot.

Just like that.

Wei Gang hastily left Yellow Sand City, followed the newly constructed path within the forest, and entered Lin You’s territory to report the matter.

Originally studying the Mutated Ability, Lin You stopped his actions upon hearing Wei Gang’s report.

“You mean to say a high-level cultivator wants to meet me?”

“Yes, that person is very powerful and claims to be willing to use his Life Chart in exchange for an opportunity to understand the power of the rule. Based on appearance, he should be Tier Nine.”

Wei Gang said, panting.

Lin You was surprised at the words.

He hadn’t expected the commotion created by the Forest Sage to draw high-tier cultivators for a meeting, let alone a Tier Nine one.

After some thought, he said to Wei Gang, “Alright, take me to see him.”

“Understood!”

Soon, Lin You followed Wei Gang out of the territory and came into the city.

Walking through the streets, it wasn’t long before they arrived in front of the elder.

“Is it you who said you wanted to meet me?”

Lin You asked directly.

He had Lingxi beside him and Cyan Rattan protecting the territory.

These two attributes exceeded Tier Eight species, coupled with various territorial enhancements, he feared not merely a single Tier Nine.

Even if the elder acted, he could immediately activate the Teleportation Array to return inside the territory, ensuring his safety.

So there was nothing to worry about.

But his calm demeanor made the elder secretly surprised.

Especially seeing Lingxi beside him, he was even more astonished.

Because from this small-statured Flower Spirit, he actually felt a hint of threat, elevating his evaluation of Lin You to equal standing with himself.

“Greetings, Lord.”

The elder politely greeted Lin You.

“It is indeed I who wishes to meet you, is it convenient to talk?”

“Certainly convenient, let’s talk in my reception hall.”

“Alright.”

With that, under Wei Gang’s guidance, they headed to the reception hall within the city, attracting surrounding passers-by to stop and watch.

Many of them had only recently arrived in Yellow Sand City and it was their first time seeing Lin You.

Hence, curiosity compelled them to sneak a few glances.

Several young girls with eyes filled with admiration and shy faces stared at Lin You.

They had all heard that the Yellow Sand City’s Lord was young, promising, and exceptionally handsome.

Now seeing him, it seemed he was even more outstanding and charismatic than the rumors.

The most important thing was, he had no wives or concubines yet.

If someone could marry him, no, even be a concubine, surely many would covet such status.

“Do you think someone like our Lord will marry what kind of wife in the future?” A resident couldn’t help but whisper.

“Does that need asking? What standing does our Lord have? He must at least marry the most beautiful woman within the duchy.”

“Exactly, ordinary folk cannot even think of becoming the Lord’s wife.”

“Come on, didn’t you say yesterday you wanted to make your daughter the Lord’s personal maid? Clearly aiming for her to become a concubine so your family could rise to prominence.”

“You… You slander! When did I ever think like that!”

“Haha, look at your ears turning red, denying it!”

“Exactly, if your daughter could make it, surely mine could too.”

“Bah, you shameless old man, your daughter is only sixteen, isn’t she?”

Talking and laughing, the city residents began exposing each other’s secrets.

The scene was bustling with liveliness.

Yet at this time, Lin You had already led the elder to the city’s reception hall to begin discussions.
