Jerry's research revealed that Soul Beasts had no Martial Souls. All the Soul Power they absorbed was stored within their bodies. Using his powerful Spiritual Power to observe Soul Beasts, Jerry discovered that they also possessed Soul Power Seeds. Animal-type Soul Beasts had their Soul Power Seeds in their brains, all shaped like embryos. Plant Type Soul Beasts had theirs in their roots, all shaped like seeds, just like Jerry's own!
Attribute Plants also had two Soul Power Seeds: one Wood Attribute and one of another attribute! The Soul Power Seed of an Attribute Plant's other attribute was always stronger than its Wood Attribute Soul Power Seed. Since the Wood Attribute was gentler, the other attribute was what manifested outwardly!
Most Ordinary Plants had only one Wood Attribute Soul Power Seed and only one passive skill: Growth. So after absorbing Soul Power, they merely grew taller and larger without gaining any offensive ability, which was why they were considered Ordinary Plants!
Most Plant Type Soul Beasts had no offensive abilities beyond Growth. Some vine-like ones could Entangle, while poisonous ones were also Attribute Plants, possessing Poison Attribute Soul Power Seeds!
Plants were innately able to convert Soul Power Attributes. They absorbed Attribute Soul Power from heaven and earth, then converted most of it into Wood Attribute Soul Power to sustain their own growth. Because Attribute Plants possessed two Soul Power Seeds, they could convert Soul Power into two attributes. The Wood Attribute mainly promoted growth and increased their years of cultivation, while the other attribute could not only increase their years of growth but also enhance their abilities, allowing them to release Soul Skills such as poison, flames, ice, water, and other attribute-based Soul Skills!
Jerry knew from his previous life that the Wood Attribute had many uses. Yet on Douluo Continent, it mostly displayed only its basic growth ability, which was why plants possessed such powerful vitality! Some abilities did manifest the Wood Attribute, such as healing, detoxification, and accelerated recovery. Those were the true forms of the Wood Attribute, but due to a lack of knowledge, they were not identified as such and were instead regarded as support abilities! Thus, many plant Martial Souls that possessed only the Wood Attribute were classified as Support Soul Masters. In truth, the Wood Attribute also had offensive forms, with some displaying simple abilities such as Entanglement and Parasitism! They were usually classified as control-type!
Both Soul Beasts and Soul Masters pursued strength, yet there were still far too few researchers across the entire continent, and even fewer who studied plants! At present, the only known researchers were Poison Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Yang Wudi! But their research directions were all one-sided!
Now that he knew plants could grow faster by absorbing Wood Attribute Soul Power, Jerry had nothing to worry about. Other attributes required thought and effort, but forests never lacked Wood Attribute plants! Moreover, many Ten Thousand Years Wood Attribute Plant Soul Beasts had emerged recently, especially in the Core Area! These Ten Thousand Years plants could communicate, making them Jerry's targets. Their large Body Types and developed root systems also allowed them to absorb and recover very quickly!
The only trouble was that plants were somewhat inconvenient to move! Fortunately, Manjusaka was not very large and could move around easily!
Jerry found the Plant Type Soul Beast with the highest cultivation in the Core Area. It was more than thirty-two thousand years old. It had previously been considered an Ordinary Plant, but was now identified as a Wood Attribute plant! After communicating with it, Jerry found that its intelligence after thirty thousand years of cultivation was quite good, and it quickly understood!
Then Jerry began releasing his Growth Skill toward Manjusaka. The thirty-thousand-year Plant Soul Beast slowly began channeling Soul Power to Jerry, increasing it thread by thread until it reached the limit Jerry could endure, then maintaining a steady transmission.
After Jerry released his Growth Skill, Manjusaka began endlessly absorbing Wood Attribute Soul Power, and its years of cultivation gradually rose. It took three days and three nights to absorb more than thirty thousand years of Soul Power, but it finally absorbed it all!
At that moment, Manjusaka broke through to forty-six thousand years! This was practically an empowerment! However, Jerry was the only one who could use this skill. His powerful Spiritual Power had transformed the passive Accelerated Growth skill into an active one! Other plants could only passively absorb Soul Power. If other plants could actively release it as well, then the forest would become the domain of plants!
Now that Jerry possessed this divine skill, his choice of Soul Rings would be different!
