Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

Sitting back in his housing plant, Ram allowed himself a brief moment of relaxation. The past few days had been grueling, but the results were undeniable.

Since Mai and others are under the protection of Esha, they are not in any immediate danger, but his actions in the last few days targeting Blood Hawk gang members angered Shane.

As he considered his next steps, two paths lay before him: continue his attack on the Blood Hawk Gang or focus on something else that can improve his strength faster.

Korrin wasn't the only one who had reached Tier 4. Ram had also helped Groot, Thorny, and Linger evolve using the Life Energy and Spiritual Power he had painstakingly saved over the last four days.

The effort was not small, nearly depleting his reserves entirely it took almost thirty thousand points of life energy and spiritual power each for all three.

Yet, the payoff was worth it, as none of them disappointed him. Each of them had awakened powerful skills upon upgrading, but Groot's new skill, Titan Wood, stood out as another A-grade ability.

Ram opened his attribute panel, eager to review Groot's updated stats and abilities:

[Name: Titan Wood Gaiant (Groot)]

[Level: Gold (0%)]

[Quality: One Star General]

[Physique: 212]

[Spirit: 118]

[Description: Resembling a humanoid. The Titan Wood Sprout features an enhanced physique, resilient bark, and the ability to manipulate vines and branches within certain limits. This creature can continue to grow slowly over time, absorbing vitality from its surroundings.]

[Skills:

[Shared Consciousness]: The Titan Wood is not just an individual tree but rather a collective entity, forming a network with all the trees surrounding it in the forest, enabling shared thinking and communication among trees with the same origin.]

[Regeneration]: When injured, one can swiftly regenerate an entire broken body or specific parts of it, even from mere fragments, as long as there is enough life energy available.

[Note]: The host can utilize Regeneration through Bio Armor; however, the life energy required to heal will increase from twice the amount of life energy to multiple times that of healing its own body, depending on the extent of damage sustained.]

[Titan Wood Mastery]: The Titan Wood's ability to grow continuously is fueled by absorbing vitality from the surrounding environment. Enhances attributes like size, strength, defense, and resilience over time. The more Life energy absorbed, the greater the incremental growth and power amplification. Current increment: 2%]

[Talent]:

[Bio Armor]: Upon activation, the Titan Wood Sprout can merge with its host, forming an even deeper bond with its host. Upon activation, the Bio Armor envelops the host in a living armor that is both durable and adaptive, seamlessly adjusting to the host's physical and spiritual needs.

[Enhanced Attribute Superimposition]: The Bio Symbiote amplifies the host's physical and spiritual attributes, superimposing the host's stats with those of the Titan Wood Sprout.

[Dynamic Adaptation]: The armor actively responds to environmental and combat situations and hardens against blunt impacts or physical strikes.

Softens and flexes for increased mobility during high-speed movements or evasion and create root-like protrusions for grappling or anchoring during unstable terrain or mid-air combat.

[Bio-Life Core - Energy Surge]: The core can unleash bursts of energy when unlocked all attributes improve by an additional 500% for 10 secs.]

Ram studied the attribute panel with a satisfied expression.

Groot's transformation was astonishing, starting with its name change from Titan Wood Sprout to Titan Wood Gaiant.

Though he wasn't entirely sure what the name change signified, it hinted at a deeper evolution in Groot's nature.

He had already tested the Bio Armor effect during his fight with Kain, and the results were impressive. Now, with the addition of Titan Wood Mastery, Groot's potential has grown exponentially.

"Just Groot's current attributes are already higher than most Tier 4 professionals," Ram muttered to himself, his gaze lingering on the stats. Even though the current increment from Titan Wood Mastery was only 2%, he knew it could be improved by supplying life energy.

Ram couldn't help but speculate about its upper limit. "Could it reach 100%? 200%? Or even more?" The possibilities were exciting and worth exploring further as he gathered more resources.

Satisfied with Groot's progress, Ram turned his attention to Linger's attributes. He was eager to see how the Sword Grass had evolved.

[ Name: Sword Grass (Linger)]

[ Race: Wood Spirit]

[ Level: Gold (0%)]

[ Quality: One Star General]

[ Physique: 186]

[ Spirit: 155]

[ Description: A resilient blade of grass with a surprisingly sharp edge, rumored to have grown on a fragment of a legendary weapon. While seemingly ordinary, it possesses an extraordinary cutting ability.]

[Skills:

[Environmental Fortification]: Grown in a specific, harsh environment, the plant developed exceptional strength, resilience, and unnatural toughness, comparable to forged steel.]

[Flowing and Agile]: Due to the nature of the leaves, Sword Grass can make swift, flowing movements that take advantage of the leaves' flexibility, making it easy to control.]

[Regeneration]: Depending on the amount of spiritual power or life energy used, the leaves of Sword Grass could regenerate after breaking or being destroyed.]

[Sword Light]: Generates sharp, focused energy by consuming spiritual power that enhances cutting attacks, increasing attack range and precision while ignoring 20% of the opponent's physical and spiritual defense.]

[ Talent: [Multi Shattered Sword]: Upon activation, the Sword Grass can break into multiple blades (24 blades) and subordinate blades (96 blades) that follow the main blades or combine multiple blades from its body into a single, deadlier weapon. This grants the Sword Grass multiple unique effects:

- Activation: The Sword Grass can activate Shattered Sword at will, but it requires a brief focus period (one attack action in combat).

- Combining Blades: During activation, several blades (5-6 depending on the Sword Grass' current size) detach and fuse, creating a temporarily enhanced blade.

- Defense Piercing (70% Chance): The attack bypasses a portion of the target's defense, ignoring 35% of their defensive stat for damage calculation.

- Critical Hit (Guaranteed): Regardless of whether the defense is bypassed, a successful hit with the enhanced blade always lands a critical hit, dealing an extra 350% damage.]

This combination of multiple blades that improved from the previous 16 to the current 24 and the guaranteed critical hits made Linger a terrifying opponent in battle.

With the newly awakened skill Sword Light's ability to pierce through defenses and land devastating blows, Linger was now capable of handling even the toughest enemies.

After her upgrade, Linger also learned a new ability to change the shape and size of her sword by using her regeneration skill, to grow larger and sharper when used in close combat.

Ram even thought of using Linger together with Groot in Bio Armor state, with both wood spirits improving his attributes and attack power, it can be said that unless it is someone at peak Tier 4 or above, they are not much of a challenge to him.

Ram shifted his attention to Thorny, his first Wood Spirit, now fully transformed into a powerful and unique entity, evolving from an ordinary vine into the formidable Sword Thorn Spire Vine.

The new stats and abilities displayed on Thorny's attribute panel reflected its remarkable evolution.

[Name: Sword Thorn Spire Vine (Mutant)]

[Level: Gold (0%)]

[ Quality: One Star General]

[ Physique: 129]

[ Spirit: 115]

[Description: An ordinary plant vine that has undergone a remarkable transformation under the influence of unique vitality. Its thorns and vines have mutated, becoming as sharp as swords.]

Compared to before, Thorny's skills had also undergone significant upgrades:

[Skill]:

[Thorny Armor] (Enhanced): Thorny now possesses a reinforced layer of thorny defense composed of dense, sharpened thorns. The armor is not only incredibly durable but also reactive, causing additional damage to any attacker who comes into contact with it.]

[Environmental Fortification]: Grown in a specific, harsh environment, the plant developed exceptional strength, resilience, and unnatural toughness, comparable to forged steel.]

[Spiral Thorn Burst]: Can launch its sharp thorns outward in a sudden spiral burst, creating a ranged area-of-effect attack that damages all enemies within a 5-meter radius. This skill can temporarily strip Thorny of its thorns, which regenerate over time depending on the amount of life energy used.]

[Thorn Bind Prison]: Thorny can form a cage-like structure of interlocking thorny vines around a target, immobilizing them completely. This prison is resistant to cutting and blunt force, making it difficult for trapped foes to escape. It can also channel life energy into the prison to constrict and damage the trapped enemy over time.]

[Talent]:

[Enhanced Vine Grapple]: Enhances the original Vine Grapple ability, allowing the user to not only extend and retract vines but also control them with greater precision and force. These vines can manipulate the environment, ensnare multiple enemies, and even generate defensive or offensive barriers.

[Attributes:

-Vine Manipulation Range: 50 meters (can extend and retract vines up to this distance with precision).

-Vine Control Precision: 95% (ability to control the vines with high precision, enabling intricate movements and delicate grabs).

-Vine Strength: 200% increase in pulling/ensnaring force compared to the base level, able to restrain even stronger enemies or heavy objects.

-Vine Flexibility: Vines can be shaped into different forms (e.g., whips, nets, tendrils, barriers).

-Vine Mobility: Can use vines for rapid traversal (e.g., swinging between trees, pulling yourself across terrain) or even use them as shields.

-Vine Regeneration Rate: Vines can regrow or repair themselves if damaged, with a cooldown of 50 seconds before they can be fully restored using sufficient life energy.]

"Now I have at least six Tier 4 creatures under my command, I should be able to walk freely in the Red River domain, right?" Ram pondered as he looked at Thorny's attributes.

Compared to both Groot and Linger, Ram had to first improve Thorny's quality to General and improve her level, which took more Life energy and Spiritual power than he thought but her newly awakened skill and the changes in her talent also satisfied Ram's expectations for her.
