792 The Withered Tree Spirit King Surrendered?
In the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest.
Liu Yan was surprised to see the wood elemental energy condensed by the Withered Tree Spirit King.
He didn’t expect it would still have the strength to attack him after being so severely injured by the Blue Flame Strike that it couldn’t be healed and was on the verge of death.
Liu Yan was ready to continue the attack. The Withered Tree Spirit King was at the end of its strength, so it was easy to defeat.
However, just as Liu Yan was about to make a move, he suddenly found that the wood elemental energy condensed by the Withered Tree Spirit King was gentle. It did not seem to be an attack, nor did it seem to be hostile.
Seeing this, Liu Yan was a little suspicious and immediately made contact with it.
In any case, even if there were an explosion, Liu Yan could deal with them easily. Thus, he naturally had nothing to fear.
Although Liu Yan had just experienced a battle with the Withered Tree Spirit King, he was not injured, nor did he lose much physical strength and energy. Hence, Liu Yan’s combat strength was still at its peak, so he was naturally not afraid!
Liu Yan directly touched the soft wood elemental energy condensed by the Withered Tree Spirit King.
After some contact and sensing, Liu Yan was a little surprised.
This ball of wood elemental energy carried the thoughts of Withered Tree Spirit King!
He could congeal his consciousness and thoughts within the wood elemental energy.
It was the first time Liu Yan had seen such a situation.
Liu Yan had already mastered SS-grade Wood Secret Art and even 20% of SSS-grade Wood Elemental Law.
Liu Yan’s attainment in the field of wood elemental energy was already very high.
But even so, Liu Yan could not do it at all.
Liu Yan suddenly realized that the Withered Tree Spirit King’s attainment in the wood elemental energy was not only higher than his, but he also seemed to be far more proficient in the use of wood elemental energy than him.
Liu Yan suppressed the surprise in his heart and used his perception to perceive the thoughts of the Withered Tree Spirit King in this ball of wood elemental energy.
The Withered Tree Spirit King could not speak the human language, so it could not communicate with Liu Yan.
However, with the help of its thoughts in the wood elemental energy, it could communicate with Liu Yan and convey its thoughts to him.
Liu Yan also wanted to see what the Withered Tree Spirit King had to say.
After some sense, Liu Yan understood the Withered Tree Spirit King’s thoughts even though they couldn’t communicate.
According to the Withered Tree Spirit King’s intention, it wanted to submit to Liu Yan, become Liu Yan’s pet, sign a soul contract with Liu Yan, and fight for Liu Yan in the future!
Liu Yan was a little surprised. He thought of subduing the Withered Tree Spirit King.
After all, monster plants with SS-grade potential were rare.
The fierce beasts and monster plants that had reached S-grade potential were already extremely powerful.
The previous Firerock Giant King had S-grade potential. Liu Yan immediately suppressed it and made it become the territory war beast of Origin Territory.
Of Liu Yan’s three pets, two were functional pets. Treasure Pangolin and Purple Wind Falcon were functional pets, so their combat power was not strong.
His only combat pet was the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, which had SS-grade potential. After Liu Yan’s help and feeding of high-potential high-grade fierce beasts’ carcasses, its bloodline had evolved several times, and it had now evolved into a powerful fierce beast with SS-grade potential.
Therefore, when Liu Yan first laid eyes on the Withered Tree Spirit King, he was extremely tempted. A monster plant with SS-grade potential was rare.
Especially since this Withered Tree Spirit King was a mature SS-grade monster plant. It was powerful and had probably existed for a few hundred years.
If Liu Yan could subdue this Withered Tree Spirit King, it would undoubtedly bring a lot of improvement to his strength.
After all, the fierce beasts and monster plants with SS-grade potential were different from the ones that had yet to mature.
The Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf hadn’t fully grown yet, so it wasn’t overly powerful.
And the Withered Tree Spirit King in front of him was undoubtedly a monster plant with SS-grade potential that had already grown. It was strong now and would continue to grow in the future, possessing even more powerful strength.
However, Liu Yan knew he had no way of subduing the Withered Tree Spirit King. After all, it was a monster plant with SS-grade potential and had already grown up. It also had 16-star combat strength like Liu Yan, and the gap between their battle strength was not that big.
Even if Liu Yan could defeat such a powerful monster plant, it would be difficult to subdue it.
After all, the higher the growth potential, the more powerful the fierce beast, the more ambitious it was, and the harder it was to tame it.
Thus, normal awakened ones would only try to tame fierce beasts with high potential but were still in their infancy and had not yet grown up.
Adult fierce beasts or monster plants were either powerful and had high potential, but were difficult to subdue. They would rather die than submit.
If they were weak, there would be no point in subduing them.
Hence, Liu Yan thought the Withered Tree Spirit King would be extremely difficult to subdue.
In addition, the Withered Tree Spirit King was already old, probably at least hundreds of years old.
Liu Yan gave up on subduing the Withered Tree Spirit King and decided to kill it directly.
But he didn’t expect the Withered Tree Spirit King would come to him and express its willingness to surrender.
At this time, the Withered Tree Spirit King noticed Liu Yan’s surprise and doubts. It condensed another cloud of wood elemental energy. It was also soft and non-aggressive.
Liu Yan once again touched and knew what the Withered Tree Spirit King was thinking.
The Withered Tree Spirit King was explaining to Liu Yan. Usually, it would not be willing to surrender. At most, it would die if it lost.
However, he had witnessed Liu Yan’s powerful strength and talent, especially Liu Yan’s ability to master multiple elemental energies and his high attainments in the fire, earth, and water elemental energies.
Such an awakened one was an extremely rare genius in the eyes of the Withered Tree Spirit King. Even though the Withered Tree Spirit King had lived for more than a thousand years, it had never seen such a rare genius as Liu Yan.
Because of this, the Withered Tree Spirit King admired Liu Yan very much. It believed that Liu Yan would grow stronger in the future and reach a wider world. Therefore, it wanted to follow Liu Yan and fight for him.
Withered Tree Spirit King also believed that following Liu Yan was the right choice. Not only would he be able to see a wider world with Liu Yan, but he would also become stronger with Liu Yan’s help and walk a new path.
After Liu Yan learned of the Withered Tree Spirit King’s thoughts, he finally understood.
After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. It was rare to see an awakened one who could master two elemental energies.
And what he had just shown in front of the Withered Tree Spirit King was that he had mastered the three elemental energies of earth, water, and fire. Moreover, he had high attainments in the domains of these three elemental energies, all of which had reached the SS-grade secret arts.
As such, in the eyes of Withered Tree Spirit King, Liu Yan was undoubtedly an extremely rare genius, which was why he had such thoughts.
Liu Yan was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect the Withered Tree Spirit King’s age would be even older than he had imagined. It was already over a thousand years old.
However, Liu Yan also knew that tree-type monster plants had long lifespans. In addition, this Withered Tree Spirit King had great potential and strength, so it was normal for it to live longer.
After understanding the intentions of the Withered Tree Spirit King, Liu Yan was naturally willing to take it under his wing.
After all, it was undoubtedly good for Liu Yan to have an additional monster plant with SS-grade potential and 16-star combat strength.
Even Liu Yan, who had just defeated the Withered Tree Spirit King, had to put in a ton of effort, let alone an ordinary 16-star existence.
As for those with combat strength lower than 16-star, they were no match for the Withered Tree Spirit King.
If he could successfully subdue the Withered Tree Spirit King, it would undoubtedly be a good upgrade for Liu Yan’s strength.
Currently, Liu Yan was eager to deal with the Flame Demon King in the depths of the desert. What he needed the most was to improve his strength.
Liu Yan immediately agreed, but at the same time, he warned the Withered Tree Spirit King not to have any evil thoughts, or he would not let it off easily.
A ball of wood elemental energy condensed by the Withered Tree Spirit King floated over again, conveying the thoughts of the Withered Tree Spirit King. The Withered Tree Spirit King indicated it had no evil intentions and was at ease.
Hearing Withered Tree Spirit King’s response, Liu Yan agreed. He took some materials from his intermediate storage ring. Then, he set up a soul contract formation, ready to sign a soul contract with the Withered Tree Spirit King.
Liu Yan wasn’t worried. Even if the Withered Tree Spirit King lied to him, there wouldn’t be any accidents. After all, with his strength, the Withered Tree Spirit King couldn’t do anything.
Although Liu Yan had used a lot of strength to defeat the Withered Tree Spirit King, he had not used his full strength. He still had more powerful trump cards that he had not used, so he was naturally not afraid of its evil intentions.
