At first, Yang Chen had thought the descriptions of the Natural Spirit Art were flashy but impractical. Now, however, it seemed the manual had actually underestimated its true effects.
"Command nature... This Natural Spirit Art is truly interesting. With this technique, I have gained another means at my disposal." Yang Chen murmured, "Presumably, controlling different natural forces will yield different effects. I should try other methods of control."

If he tried to control a great tree, its branches would rapidly sprout and grow, serving his purposes with considerable enemy-defeating potential. If he controlled bamboo, the bamboo would become exceptionally sharp, and so on.
In short, the Natural Spirit Art fused with true qi to form a natural force. Ordinary plants seemed to need only five units of natural energy to grow to their limits, yet Yang Chen could control thousands upon thousands of units of natural energy.
This natural energy could not only bring them to their limits, but also allow them to surpass themselves and reach another peak. It was the effect of turning every blade of grass and every tree into a soldier. For Yang Chen, cultivating the Natural Spirit Art truly gave him the ability to turn grass and trees into soldiers.
Of course, his control over natural power was limited to grass and trees—or, more precisely, only plants. Only plants were drawn to his natural power. Other natural objects, such as stones and rocks, were not.
Yang Chen did not demand too much. This effect was enough.
This caused him to devote himself wholeheartedly to studying the Natural Spirit Art over the following days, hoping to raise the technique's effects another level.
As time passed, he grew increasingly familiar with the Natural Spirit Art, and
