Natural God's Gift

"But," Si Ye hesitated, "how do we distinguish between Dead Soul Water and Soul Return Water?"

The Shanglu God Tree said, "Dead Soul Water appears as ink-like black, while Soul Return Water appears grayish-white. The higher the grade, the brighter the color. Nine Deaths Soul Return Water is the ultimate silvery-white.

When you get there, first collect the Dead Soul Water on the surface of the stone trough, and see if there is any grayish-white or bright silver water dew underneath. The two are easy to distinguish."

"I understand now."

"Nine Deaths Soul Return Water has a great effect, almost like a Law God-grade fruit. Si Ye, if you find this level of God-given item, it might be useful for your kingdom's Sea Soul Fir God-given seed."

Si Ye's eyes lit up: "Is Soul Return Water also useful for normally growing God-given seeds?"

Shanglu God Tree: "Strictly speaking, Soul Return Water is useful for all God-given seeds. Didn't you say that the Sea Soul Fir God-given seed is special, born at the end of the Primordial Era cycle, and its quality declined due to negligence?"

"Soul Return Water can help it replenish its foundation, and perhaps allow it to reach the true state of a soul-type God-given seed."

Hearing the Shanglu God Tree's explanation, Si Ye excitedly waved its cheliped: "If it can really be like this, that would be great."

"Alright, we'll talk about the Soul Return Water when you return to the Myriad Races Continent. Now that you're here, let's complete the training I've prepared for you first."

Si Ye said confidently: "Shanglu God Tree, I don't know what kind of training it will be? But I believe I can persevere."

"It's good that you have confidence." The Shanglu God Tree sent a mental message to Si Ye, sealing seven of its eight elemental talents, leaving only its original wood-type talent.

"Shanglu God Tree, what is this?" Si Ye didn't understand, what kind of training was this?

The Shanglu God Tree said: "Originally, I should have given you physical training, but insectoid warriors benefit most from physical training in the mid-to-high level stages. Physical training at your age is not very effective, so let's directly train your abilities."

"I know you have many talents and have awakened many abilities, but if you can't master these abilities, then you might not be as good as other insectoid warriors with single-elemental talents. So, from today onwards,

begin training your abilities."

"Abilities?" Si Ye was somewhat confident. It often sparred with the Ginkgo Spider King and the Green Maple Lord. Even if it could only use single-elemental abilities, it believed it wouldn't be too bad.

"What's the training method?"

"The best way to train is to spar. I've found you a Flame Spider warrior as your sparring partner."

As soon as the Shanglu God Tree finished speaking, a Lord-level Flame Spider came over the mountains from the distant mountains.

When it got closer, it turned out to be a White-Legged Flame Spider warrior with fire-type talent.

It came to the Shanglu God Tree and said respectfully, "Shanglu God Tree, you called for me?"

"Yes, Chizhu, in the next period of time, you will accompany Si Ye to train its abilities, and use all your strength to defeat it.

"Yes!" Chizhu agreed obediently.

Then it turned to look at Si Ye: "Chizhu, Vice Captain of the Shanglu Forty-Eighth Combat Team, greets you here."

"Hello, I'm Si Ye." Si Ye was a little speechless. The Shanglu God Tree had sealed its seven elemental talents, leaving only the wood-type talent, and now it had found a Flame Spider warrior with fire-type talent. This was obviously intentional.

This hundred-legged Flame Spider warrior was also about five meters three in size, only a little smaller than Si Ye. Obviously,

it was also a spider carefully cultivated by the Shanglu Kingdom. The Shanglu God Tree said, "Now you can start the sparring training until one side admits defeat or has no ability to resist before you can stop."

"Yes." The two spiders answered in unison.

After hearing the Shanglu God Tree say to start, both sides leaped back more than ten meters, fearing a sneak attack from the other.

Si Ye now only had the wood-type talent, and could only use pure wood-type abilities. It knew the degree of fire-type's restraint on wood-type, and didn't dare to be negligent at all. It raised its cheliped and used a concealed attack ability: "Wood Root Generation!"

Two huge tree roots sprang out from both sides of Chizhu, like flexible vipers, instantly trying to entangle it.

"Fire Body," Chizhu was entangled by the tree roots, but it was not flustered at all. A ball of flame emerged from its forehead, instantly covering its entire body. The roots controlled by Si Ye instantly burst into flames.

Si Ye, who was originally planning to use Wood Jade Transformation to increase the fire resistance of the roots, didn't expect the roots to be resolved before it could use its ability.

After Chizhu resolved the roots entangling it, it understood that Si Ye had long-range attack abilities, and immediately rushed towards Si Ye, intending to rely on close combat to defeat Si Ye.

Si Ye naturally understood that insectoid warriors with wood-type talents were most afraid of insectoid warriors with fire-type talents getting close.

It controlled the Primordial Energy to use another ability: "Grass Puppet!"

The grass on the ground grew wildly under the influence of its ability, and soon grew into a dense grassland.

These grasses intertwined and condensed, forming grass spiders with extremely large bodies.

This time, learning from the previous lesson, Si Ye immediately used the second Wood Jade Transformation ability before Chizhu could get close, directly jadeifying several of the front-row grass spiders.

When Chizhu rushed close, it saw seven or eight grass spiders with jade luster and a size of six or seven meters blocking its way.

Chizhu had fought with the original Flame Spiders in Shanglu, and it naturally knew the two abilities unique to the original Flame Spider warriors: Grass Puppet and Wood Jade Transformation.

Grass Puppets are light, have strong attack power, but have poor defense, especially poor fire resistance.

Wood Jade Transformation has decent defense, but it is too rigid.

When these two abilities are combined, most spiders operate them very rigidly, unless they are very skilled spiders that can command the condensed grass puppets like arms and fingers.

Chizhu took a step back to test, and sure enough, the grass puppets couldn't even keep up.

As a result, it immediately found a solution.

It bypassed the front of the grass puppets and launched dozens of fireballs from the side, directly hitting Si Ye itself.

Si Ye was caught off guard and subconsciously wanted to use water-type abilities to resist, but when the fireballs were about to hit, it remembered that its water-type talent had been sealed by the Shanglu God Tree.

It was hit and covered in dirt. One mistake led to another.

Under Chizhu's relentless pressure, the battle situation gradually tilted, eventually forming a complete rout, and even Si Ye itself became Chizhu's prisoner.

"Sigh," seeing this scene, even the Shanglu God Tree was a little speechless: "You use your abilities too poorly, it's completely like you haven't trained before."

Si Ye was so embarrassed that it wanted to burrow into the ground. In the past, it had fought back and forth with the Ginkgo Spider King and the others, and it thought it was quite powerful. This was the first time it had lost so miserably.

The Shanglu God Tree began to instruct Si Ye: "Be more agile when fighting. After using one ability, immediately use the second ability to restrain the opponent."

After giving some guidance, the two sides restored their Primordial Energy and continued to fight.

Day after day, Si Ye became more and more proficient in using its abilities, from a complete defeat at the beginning to being able to fight back and forth with Chizhu.

When it had mastered the wood-type abilities to perfection, the Shanglu God Tree sealed its wood-type talent again and replaced it with the water-type talent.

In this way, among several talents, whenever Si Ye adapted to one talent, it would be transformed into another talent.

The combat spiders used for training also changed along with Si Ye.

After training for half a year, it was autumn —
