Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 20. Tinkering with Enchanted Growth.

Now that Liu Shu was at Level 3, and her Aether Mana had crossed the 1000 Shards limit, she moved her eyes toward one of the skills she had not used until now, <Enchanted Growth>.

Enchanted Growth was an E+ Rank skill. Even Woodcrafter, the skill she just got, was E- rank, two small boundaries below.

However, now that Liu Shu could use E Rank skills, she thought that she would be able to at least make a proper attempt.

Before doing anything, Liu Shu gave the skill description another read.

<Enchanted Growth (E+ Rank Level 1)>: Stimulates the rapid growth of nearby flora, creating vibrant and mesmerizing plant life. Use consumes Aether Mana and Anima Energy.

Liu Shu expanded her vision with <World Tree Eye>, and after looking around, she focused on a flower around 30 meters away from her.

With her new growth, her roots could now spread much further, aiding her vision and ability to interact with her surroundings. She was still petite, just four meters tall, but our tree was slowly growing.

'Hm... This little flower... can I feed you some energy?'

Liu Shu approached with one of her thinner roots and reached out toward the flower's own roots. However, she didn't feel a response other than a feeling of happiness when she touched it.

'Happy because of my touch?' Liu Shu was confused and looked at it with curiosity.

As a World Tree and the "Apex" of all flora, her mere presence was enough for other plant creatures to feel reverence toward her.

'Well, since you are happy... Let's try using <Enchanted Growth> on you.'

She was still a bit fearful, as the previous times she tried to use it, Liu Shu felt as if her insides were about to be sucked out.

So, she carefully activated it and sent a small stream of energy toward it. After Flor and the other Rose Fairies explained to her the concept of energy control, she had been practicing a lot, increasing her efficiency at a high pace.

It was still not as noticeable, but there were times when Liu Shu felt that she could do much more with the same energy she used in the past.

Between them, the one she used the most was naturally her constant growth of flowers, a process that has become almost subconscious by now.

Anyway, returning to the <Enchanted Growth> skill. After being careful and gathering Aether and Anima Energy,

Her energy moved through her roots, reaching out and finally spreading into the flower.

Liu Shu checked her Aether Mana and Anima Energy and saw them reducing at around fifty per second. When her energy reserves reached three-quarters, she stopped and observed.

A few Rose Fairies that were roaming around also stopped, having felt the flow of energy toward the flower.

"What is Liu Shu doing now?"

The other shrugged. "Who knows? While I adore them, I'll never understand how a tree thinks."

The other fairy smiled wryly. "Well, I can't really disagree."

They observed the flower for a few moments, and seeing nothing, they decided to leave and continue their chores.

Liu Shu, on the other side, was not that impatient. If there was one thing that trees got over all races, it was patience.

That was both a good and a bad quality.

Like that, one hour passed, and then three, and finally seven.
