I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 975: 702

Traveling over 30 kilometers per second, without the existence of spatial distortion, they could have become a moving source of disaster. With such speed, anywhere they passed would be swept up in a storm.

Yet, with the influence of spatial distortion on the surroundings, they could advance without causing too much impact on the environment.

"Phew—refreshing!" Back in the Dusk Territory, Zheng Yichen slightly grinned, the spatial distortions that accompanied his movement, managed by Lilith, neutralized the environmental impact and also spared Zheng Yichen from the shock that would come with high-speed travel.

It did take away a bit of the thrill of experiencing high-speed travel—wasn’t the point of riding motorcycles to feel that rush of extreme speed?

This was something you couldn’t get from just sitting inside a vehicle, so when Lilith spotted a large, uninhabited area, Zheng Yichen asked her to slightly adjust the spatial distortion’s environmental impact.

For a moment, Zheng Yichen felt like he had been slapped several times, and this was with Lilith not completely removing the distortion’s influence. After Zheng Yichen adjusted to it, she gradually reduced the neutralizing effect.

At such high speeds, Zheng Yichen got a taste of what ’Extreme Speed’ felt like, and it was as if his scalp was being torn off—ordinary people would have been long gone by now.

"Brother Chang Qing, what’s the deal with your hair?" Lin Yaoyao couldn’t help but ask as she looked at Zheng Yichen’s hair at that moment.

His hair resembled grass that had been flattened by a strong wind.

"Just experienced a bit of high-speed impact, it felt pretty good."

In the end, Zheng Yichen didn’t take the full brunt of the direct impact that came with speeds exceeding 30 kilometers per second.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t handle it, but riding a motorcycle was about experiencing life, not suffering. There was no need to engage the Vajra Body and Burst Mode to tough it out—just a little thrill was enough.

"I’ll take you both for a ride later."

"When?" Lin Yaoyao immediately perked up, her eyes glued to Zheng Yichen’s motorcycle, regretting that she hadn’t followed him to the garage earlier.

She figured that at extremely high speeds, to avoid being thrown off, she’d need to cling tightly to Brother Chang Qing—how wonderful that would be...

"No rush, how are you all adapting to your new gear?" Zheng Yichen had pretty much got the hang of it; the fishing rod’s changes were not external but internal, directly affecting the built-in space.

Although there hadn’t been any significant changes in the built-in space just yet, there were some tree root-like traces along the edges.

Lilith explained that these traces could reinforce the stability of the built-in space, which seemed rather pointless but having them was better than not.

Otherwise, it was just as Lilith had described on the road—the numerous natural effects brought about by the World Tree.

Including her method of communicating with nature to open up a map, but Zheng Yichen didn’t have Lilith’s computing power; even if he could open a map, it would be hard to see the whole picture.

As for effects that triggered natural disasters, the fishing rod grew stronger, and the natural disasters caused by the weapon could suppress those called forth by Lilith, as well as other enhancements stemming from the World Tree branches.

The main enhancement material for the fishing rod was the World Tree seed, and other materials were branches of the World Tree; even the primeval branches were no match for the World Tree’s seeds.

Whether the World Tree seed brought other effects was yet to be seen, as it was, after all, just a seed... One that might take millions of years to grow into a towering World Tree.

What kind of effects the seed could bring weren’t immediately apparent, but what could be seen were those brought about by the enhancements of the World Tree branches.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to find a place and stick the fishing rod into the ground—who knows, after a few hundred thousand, or even a million years, a tree might grow out of it...

But that would be waiting far too long.

"It’s quite nice actually; the branches of the World Tree seem to really suit me, I’ve already mastered the weapon’s transformations," Lin Yaoyao said proudly. She was adapting to the weapon much faster than Liu Hongzhao and Qi Xiangyun.

"That’s good..." Zheng Yichen thought for a moment and then said, "Your weapons can trigger cataclysms, so be careful when using them."

Lin Yaoyao immediately responded, "I can tell. You have to invoke those kinds of natural disasters. I can feel that invoking the Earth and Water elements is particularly easy for me. Xiangyun has the Thunder type, and Hong Zhao has the Wind type.

This weapon can also expedite our cultivation... no, rather, the enhancement of our physiques."

She had an Attribute for both Water and Earth types, and after acquiring the new weapon, she could clearly feel that her physical traits were being nourished anew. These were just short-term changes, and wearing this kind of equipment in the long term would lead to even more significant improvements.

"Ha—any way you put it, these things are made from the primordial branches and leaves of the World Tree. It’d be a letdown if there weren’t some special effects to honor the World Tree itself."

Zheng Yichen chuckled, looking over Lin Yaoyao’s outfit, which hadn’t changed much, but now had a subtle aura of nature about it. She was already wearing the World Tree battle suit.

"Brother Chang Qing, this outfit provides such strong protection; it easily negates physical attacks, and even Spell attacks are easily brushed off. I don’t believe anything could harm us now."

"Don’t be too confident; there are plenty of things out there that can still harm you."

Zheng Yichen immediately said,

"Even if the World Tree battle suit incorporates a special material like the Apocalypse Stone, allowing them to ignore most attacks, it’s naive to think they’re invincible just because of their armor."

"Armor only increases the margin for error, but defeating your enemy is the true victory. After experiencing the Great World once, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t underestimate powers he hadn’t come across before."

"His Burst Mode produces a strong aura, right? He once thought that it amounted to true magic immunity combined with Tyrant Body, but then it got penetrated in the Great World. The cat spirit cloak’s protection is also strong."

"Still, he was injured there."

"Don’t get complacent just because your equipment is good; your own strength is more important. With such equipment, you can also try to save the world."

"Hehehe, we’ve already discussed it and are prepared to give it a try," Lin Yaoyao said with a silly laugh.

"That’s good, then. Wait for me to come back and I’ll take you for a spin."

Zheng Yichen went to find Senluo. Beneath the World Tree, he took out his fishing rod. The harmonizing stone was incredibly powerful; the World Tree seed was of the natural and life type, while the fishing rod had been enhanced with a branch from the Tree of Death, full of Death attributes.

The two should have clashed, as the changes brought by the Death tree branch certainly couldn’t overcome the World Tree seed.

As a result, the fishing rod’s Death properties would be completely suppressed by the World Tree seed.

Yet his weapon was still in perfect condition, stable in every way.

The power of Death type could be used, Life type power could be used too, and not to mention elemental attributes like Wind, Fire, and Thunder. What’s called a Divine Artifact? The weapon he gradually accumulated is slowly approaching ’almighty’.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the unique ’craftsmanship’ of the Dusk side.

"How is it?"

Senluo looked over the fishing rod in Zheng Yichen’s hand, took it to examine swiftly, and then promptly returned it to Zheng Yichen, saying, "It’s hard to imagine that the World Tree seed still exists, but its characteristics have completely changed. It... will continue to grow, but what form it will ultimately take, I’m not sure."

It could be a tree, or it could be something else.

Senluo even sensed a kind of Reversal energy in the fishing rod passed over by Zheng Yichen, the World Tree seed fully integrated with this weapon. In other words, the characteristics of this weapon could also be applied to the World Tree seed.

What would happen if such Reversal properties acted on the World Tree seed?

"Take care." Senluo didn’t continue the thought; now she was ’grateful’ that Zheng Yichen wasn’t from this world and wouldn’t stay in it for long.

Before the weapon was enhanced with the World Tree seed, it might not have been so ’dangerous’; the danger was not the weapon but the person, Zheng Yichen. Now, not only is the person dangerous.

The weapon had become dangerous as well.

The ’World Tree Weapon’ of Zheng Yichen had not yet sprouted, but when in contact, Senluo could sense that the World Tree seed had ’taken root’.

"Why suddenly say this? I’m not about to be faced with a disaster, am I?" Zheng Yichen carefully scrutinized Senluo; the very attractive girl in front of him, the more he looked, the more beautiful she seemed. Could such a pretty young girl tell fortunes as well?

"I just hope that you are a ’good person’," Senluo earnestly said. The good person she referred to wasn’t about being kind and helping others but someone who doesn’t conjure up crazy ideas easily and can stick to their own bottom line at critical moments.

Although Zheng Yichen currently seemed to be this type of person, his readiness to deliver a deadly blow when necessary also possessed a point; with him and this newly enhanced weapon, it was an especially dangerous combination.

After she touched the weapon, the World Tree behind her even wanted to ’discard’ her.

"Then it depends on what standards you use to judge me," Zheng Yichen said with a smile, as there were not a few people who had died because of him.

"As long as you can stick to your bottom line, those standards of judgment will be lowered because of you."

Afterward, Senluo and Zheng Yichen returned to the Dusk side. He was somewhat surprised by her reason for following him; this woman, akin to a fruit of the World Tree, was actually preparing to become a Dusk mercenary.

Is that an easy job to take? Not to mention the adaptability to the Dusk environment, where the average probability of individuals is not low, what’s lower is the compatibility with Phenomenon; both are required to become a Dusk mercenary.

Even more importantly, Senluo had never mentioned how good-looking his eyes were after seeing him.

It wasn’t self-conceit; the influence of Dusk caused those who were adapted to it to find such eyes attractive...

But after arriving here, the Dusk nun directly agreed to Senluo’s request, and the approving Dusk nun was none other than Tia.

Had Dusk taken a special liking to Senluo and given her a back door?
