Chapter 2343 Pa.s.sed
At the outset, Fang Heng had identified himself as a follower of nature when they first made contact.
Never did it occur to Vannes that he was indeed from one of the major branches of the tree spirit tribe, fallen into exile?
Vannes followed the others and upon seeing Fang Heng, a mixture of new grievances and old animosities surged within him, stoking his anger.
"Don"t listen to his nonsense about the plans of the tree spirit tribe branches! I won"t allow him to become a leader of the tree spirits!" Vannes exclaimed as he took the initiative, stepping forward and charging directly at Fang Heng.
"Hmph...!" Fang Heng snorted disdainfully. He met Vannes"s rapid approach head-on, refusing to step back. With equal determination, he threw a punch forward!
Vannes, feeling suddenly underestimated, and fueled by extreme anger, struck back with all his might, determined to shatter Fang Heng with a single punch!
"Bang!!!"
Their fists collided in mid-air, producing a dull thud!
Vannes felt an immense force surging through him, and in an instant, he was sent flying backward!
In a blink of an eye, Vannes"s mind went blank.
What?!
What was that immense force all about?!
He had been sent flying backward by Fang Heng"s punch, crashing heavily into the trunk of a withered tree more than ten meters away.
Raising his head, Vannes stared in astonishment at Fang Heng, who remained standing in place nearby. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
He actually...
Within just two months, his strength had increased at least tenfold!
Fang Heng showed no interest in pursuing further, merely casting a cold glance at Vannes.
In the span of a week, Vannes"s strength had diminished once again.
It seemed that losing the sacred tree sapling had indeed greatly affected the Leaf tribe.
"No need for more empty words. If any of you disagree, feel free to make your move. There"s no need to find any lofty reasons. If I lose, I"ll leave." Fang Heng surveyed the group and sneered as he glanced at Vannes. "But if this is all the strength you have, there"s no need to embarra.s.s yourselves."
"Fang Heng!"
Vannes seethed with hatred, his teeth grinding, his eyes burning red as he stared fiercely at Fang Heng.
The others from the tree spirit tribe frowned, feeling that Fang Heng"s words were overly arrogant.
However, Fang Heng had proven his strength by single-handedly repelling Vannes with one punch.
Apart from a few great elders within the tribe, who could match Fang Heng"s prowess, the tree spirit tribe had few contenders.
Who would step up to the challenge?
Many turned their gaze towards Tippy, the elder of the Soul Tribe.
In recent years, the health of the Great Elder of the Soul tribe had deteriorated significantly, with reports suggesting a steep decline in strength. Currently, Tippy was being groomed as the successor for the Soul tribe, often representing them in crucial matters. Even the sacred heirloom of the tribe had been entrusted to Tippy.
Unbeknownst to the members of the tree spirit tribe, Fang Heng had deftly shifted everyone"s attention toward a one-on-one confrontation.
"Don"t listen to his nonsense! Take him down! Let"s all go at him together!"
Vannes"s forehead veins bulged as he gritted his teeth and shouted.
What was this talk about a one-on-one?
Attack together!
In the past, if one were to say that Fang Heng evoked more wrath in him, now he felt an indescribable fear emanating from Fang Heng.
This kid"s growth rate was so fast it was suffocating.
If he was not eliminated soon, Vannes even felt that the next time he saw Fang Heng, he"d have no choice but to flee!
"Attack!"
The Wood tribe and Leaf tribe have no ounce of goodwill towards Fang Heng. Acting upon the approval of their two Great Elders, they immediately charge towards the temple!
Just then, swiftly, behind Fang Heng, the temple once again bursts forth with a blood-red light!
The exploding red light spreads into the sky, even coloring the entire horizon crimson!
The tribespeople, who were just about to attack, involuntarily freeze in place.
Everyone instinctively looks towards the rising pillar of red light, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Did he succeed?!
He actually succeeded!
The so-called vampire had actually pa.s.sed the primogenitor sacred tree"s inheritance test!
At the same time, a line of game notifications appeared on Fang Heng"s retina.
[Hint: The player"s Abe Akaya has successfully pa.s.sed the trial of the first generation of the sacred tree. Abe Akaya has leveled up by 20 levels.]
[Hint: Abe Akaya has unlocked the ability to travel through dimensions. Abu Chiya can directly absorb dimensional abilities and charge the tree spirit tribe"s holy weapon through dimensional energy.]
[Hint: The player has just completed a main storyline side mission to protect Abe Akaya, earning 20,000,000 reputation points with the tree spirit tribe.]
[Hint: The player is currently involved in a hidden main storyline mission-"Bloodline"s Inheritance." Mission condition 1: Establish your own clan (already established the vampire faction) with over 100 members (already fulfilled), and lead this clan to victory in the sacred tree cultivation battle (already completed).]
[Hint: The player"s current overall support rate for all major clans is less than 10%. Please continue to complete the mission.]
[Hint: The player"s current world control is less than 1%. Please continue to complete the mission.]
He had succeeded!
Fang Heng lowered his head to check the game notification.
The hidden main storyline mission had three conditions in total. The first one has been completed. The remaining requirements include support rates from major tribes and world control.
Opting for the path of destruction undoubtedly offered the quickest route to completion.
Additionally, after pa.s.sing the a.s.sessment, Abe Akaya has acquired two new skills:
[Skill: Dimensional travel.]
Skill description 1: Abe Akaya"s dimensional abilities have been further enhanced, granting it the ability to teleport across dimensions. This allows it to transport target units by consuming dimensional energy (transferring non-tree spirit tribe members will require additional energy).
Skill description 2: Abe Akaya can directly absorb dimensional energy from the world (the absorption rate is extremely slow, estimated to be less than 100 units per minute).
[Skill: Energy infusion.]
Skill description: Can pour dimensional energy into the tree spirit tribe"s holy weapon, allowing it to be charged. Can also pour a large amount of energy into items above the "Excellent" grade, allowing the item to have a special effect (Using will consume dimensional energy, dimensional energy can be charged through Abe Akaya).
Fang Heng quickly reviewed the skills.
In simple terms, dimensional travel was essentially teleportation.
After unlocking this skill, Abe Akaya became akin to a super-sized spatial teleportation hub!
By summoning Abe Akaya into a specific dimension ahead of time and ensuring an adequate supply of dimensional energy, it could instantly teleport millions of troops into various dimensional worlds!
It was a highly practical skill.
As for Abe Akaya"s ability to directly absorb dimensional energy...
Only 100 points per minute?
It was a little too slow and almost useless.
As for the second skill, it was not very useful.
The skill effect was similar to enchanting weapons with artifacts.
Vampires also possessed similar skills, refining blood to imbue weapons with special effects.
Previously, Fang Heng attempted this and while the skill description seemed promising, its actual use was mediocre.
Most academic weapons couldn"t be enchanted due to attribute conflicts, and the enchantment effects were generally average, requiring frequent recharging.
Fang Heng speculated that this vampire technique likely originated from sacred tree inheritance.
He planned to a.s.sess the situation more closely in future practical operations.
Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the game prompt and swept a cold glance at the tree spirit tribe.
The guards of the Leaf tribe and the Wood tribe were about to rush up and forcefully destroy the ritual, but they didn"t expect that Abe Akaya had already completed the ritual and pa.s.sed the test. They were lost for a moment and stood rooted to the ground.
