Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 261 Parasitic Infection and Hunter Competition

After absorbing this plant seed, Xu Shen could no longer suppress the urge to break through.

Just do it in one go.

A majestic life force burst out, and nine stars in the stardust trembled violently. Around them, 72 illusory spots of light gradually emerged.

These light spots gradually solidified.

Suddenly, the lotus-shaped stardust suddenly shrank into a singularity, and then expanded violently like a firework exploding.

This level of mental shock could no longer cause any harm to Xu Shen.

The soul is calm and composed.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the lotus-shaped nebula seemed more real. In the heart of the lotus, 81 stars were as leisurely and free as swimming fish.

A huge amount of energy rushed out of the spiritual world and traveled through the limbs and bones, making the already strong physique slightly stronger.

Xu Shen opened his eyes.

Deep in the pupil, the pink-green lotus shadow gradually faded.

"Breakthrough?"

Tong Zhou was envious and jealous.

"Almost," Xu Shen grinned.

Professor Yang said, "Take a quick look at what the plant magic blessed by this seed looks like."

"it is good!"

Plant magic is different from elemental magic.

Each plant seed can completely change the nature of plant magic.

Every species can change into the primary magic form.

Spirit seeds can change the primary and intermediate forms of magic.

By analogy, one Heavenly Seed is enough to change the form of super-level and lower plant magic.

The standard entry-level plant magic is the Magic Vine, and the intermediate level is the Forest of Kun.

This spirit seed-level Mountain Frost Lotus can allow Xu Shen's primary and intermediate magic to have an additional form of variation in addition to the standard form.

If he absorbs more plant species in the future, his plant magic will have more magical forms.

This is also the fundamental reason why plant magic is known as the most malleable, flexible and changeable magic.

Xu Shen curiously added this mountain frost lotus demon seed to the star track connected by 9 stars.

Then, a white lotus the size of a rose appeared in the palm of his hand, swaying, emitting a fragrance, and then slowly dissipated.

Then, there was nothing.

Tong Zhouzheng and the old professor looked at each other in surprise.

This is not quite what they imagined.

"hold on."

Xu Shen looked at Tong Zhouzheng and rubbed his chin.

"Why do I feel like your eyes are a little scary?"

Tong Zhou was looking at Xu Shen suspiciously.

"hey-hey"

Xu Shen smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.

Suddenly, Tong Zhou was holding his forehead with his hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Professor Yang asked with concern.

"It's a bit uncomfortable," Tong Zhouzheng said, "It feels like the time when I was poisoned by the Mountain Frost Lotus Monster during the trip to Tianshan. I feel dizzy, nauseous, and weak all over."

"It looks like the magic worked. A mere elementary magic could have tricked a high-level mage. This plant seed is truly extraordinary." Professor Yang smiled warmly, "Little boy, you're not actually poisoned, but parasitized by the Mountain Frost Lotus Monster. The parasitic lotus seed will absorb energy from your body to germinate and grow. Hold on a little longer and feel what kind of energy it's absorbing."

"I..." Tong Zhou was feeling a little autistic.

Come here to be a human experimental subject, right?

After a while, he said, "My mental strength is fading, as is my magic power, and my body is getting weaker and weaker. Hmm... I'm a little short of breath. It seems... it seems that there is no energy that it doesn't absorb."

"Feel it carefully again. Are your spatial magic power and mental strength decreasing?"

Tong Zhouzheng was about to cry: "Why would I lie to you about this?"

"That shouldn't be the case," Professor Yang said, "According to my analysis, it should prefer elemental magic energy."

"Is there any problem with this?"

Xu Shen was a little nervous.

Even the professor frowned, maybe something unexpected happened.

Yang Shiqin shook her head slowly: "Maybe it has something to do with your origin seed. In short, it's not a bad thing. However, it seems that this mountain frost lotus seed is much more powerful than I thought."

"Stop analyzing it, I can't breathe!"

Tong Zhou's face turned red. "It's in your lungs. Look carefully."

"You old fool, you're looking for a place like this to parasitize, right?"

Xu Shen smiled harmlessly: "I just want to see if the parasitic part can be controlled."

With Xu Shen's guidance, Tong Zhouzheng finally found a tender green bud that was gradually taking shape in his right lung.

He used fire magic to carefully burn it to death.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sprout recovered again.

"What the hell?!"

Tong Zhou's face turned green and he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Xu Shen was very satisfied with Tong Zhouzheng's reaction. He waved his hand, and Tong Zhouzheng vomited inexplicably.

A thumb-sized bud monster popped out of his mouth and disappeared in a puff of white mist.

"What kind of magic is this?!"

"It's parasitic," Xu Shen said with a smile, "The effect is quite good."

Tong Zhouzheng's eyes widened: "Why can I kill that bud monster and it can come back to life?"

"Maybe it's the effect of my life source seed?"

Xu Shen smiled brightly, he had indeed made the right choice in choosing the Mountain Frost Lotus.

Given its hidden parasitic ability, it is well-deserved to be renamed "Lotus of Old 6".

"You pervert!"

Tong Zhou is becoming autistic.

"What about the intermediate level? What effect does it have?" the old professor asked curiously.

As Xu Shen waved his hand, a huge star map hung above his head.

The star map is pale blue.

The shadow of a gigantic lotus slowly rotates.

Countless snow-white petals emitting a pink-green luster fell, like a dance of flowers, which looked extremely beautiful.

However, the more beautiful something is, the more deadly danger it contains.

Xu Shen waved his hand and scattered the star map.

As he expected, the magical power enhanced by the seed of origin could be superimposed on that of the plant seed.

The blessing multiplier of this mountain frost lotus demon seed is about 3 times, plus 3 times of the origin seed, that is about 9 times.

Although his intermediate magic was only at the first level, the 9 times power added was enough to pose a considerable threat to high-level mages.

The old professor was too old to stand the hard work, but he was reluctant to let him sleep with Yu.

As for Tong Zhouzheng, he had just suffered a wave of torture, so he should just behave like a human being.

Xu Shen smiled and said, "If my perception is correct, the number of parasites has increased from one to multiple. In this case, this intermediate-level plant magic should be called Mountain Frost Lotus Infection."

"Brilliant!"

Tong Zhouzheng's tone was sour.

For the first time, he felt that the space magic he was so proud of was not that good.

Professor Yang thought for a moment and said, "This seed has shown excellent abilities so far. With its potential, I suggest you cultivate it well. If it can transform to the soul level, the high-level magic blessed by it may give you a huge surprise."

"I'll have to wait until my plant system breaks through to the higher level before I can talk about the soul seed advancement," Xu Shen thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Professor Yang, do you have any recommendations for plant species that I can absorb at the intermediate level?"

"If conditions permit, I still suggest that you cultivate to the peak of the intermediate level and strengthen all the stars before considering this issue. Judging from the state of your absorption of this spirit seed, you should be able to absorb a soul seed across levels. As for what seed to absorb, there are more than billions of plant-type monsters in this world. Even if I spend my entire life, I can only sort out thousands of them."

Professor Yang took out a book and said, "This book was compiled by our Department of Botany over several decades. You can take a look. It introduces most of the plant species."

"Thank you Professor!"

Xu Shen bowed solemnly.

It is precisely because of these selfless predecessors among the human race that humans can thrive in a world surrounded by demons.

After leaving Professor Yang's residence, Tong Zhouzheng suddenly mentioned something.

The Hunter Championship, held every four years, begins in November.

There are only three quarters left until the start of the season.

"Our Weak Water Monster Hunting Team has completed two S-level missions and is already a master-level monster hunting team. We can skip the preliminaries directly," Tong Zhouzheng said, "Do you want to join?"

Xu Shen asked in confusion: "Two? Why don't I remember?"

Tong Zhouzheng rolled his eyes and said, "The Medusa's Tears from the trip to the Sussili Desert, and the Sky Mark Snow Lotus from the trip to Tianshan Mountain that was offered as a reward by the Lideng royal family."

Xu Shen thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

"Since we've come across this, we must definitely participate," Xu Shen asked, "What are the specific rules?"
