Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 602 - 349 War Puppet_2

"Hmm, it’s possible. However, the effect isn’t that great; it can only increase the growth rate of the Origin Life Fruit by about a hundredfold," Ye Feng admitted without concealment and nodded in response.

Hearing this, Gu Ao Duo’s eyes widened in disbelief, "It really works! And that’s a hundredfold increase in speed! For you, the cost is almost nil, you’re making a killing, you know?"

"If I’m not mistaken, as your mastery in the Life Rule Realm continues to rise, the effect will definitely get even better."

Ye Feng looked at Gu Ao Duo with a hint of surprise. He had only offered a simple answer, but had revealed nothing.

Yet, the other party had deduced something that would normally require multiple experiments to determine; Ye Feng had to admit that Gu Ao Duo was indeed very knowledgeable.

Gu Ao Duo later asked for some details and eventually simply exclaimed, "Truly worthy of the Supreme Rule," then said no more.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng naturally took the time to adapt to his explosively increased strength.

After breaking through to the Third Order, he felt that under full power, he had no major problem taking on a Sixth Order strongman.

Therefore, he directly selected a Sixth Order Metal Puppet to spar with.

And the result was... he got thrashed.

The reason was simple: when facing these Metal Puppets, spiritual power—the biggest trump card—was ineffective.

Besides, his Space Transposition Ability also lacked offensive capabilities for the time being and could only help him dodge.

So, when it came to a head-on brawl, he could only rely on his Thunder Abilities and his now incredibly powerful physique.

Although Ye Feng’s body was already very strong, perfectly reaching the level of the Fifth Order, there was still a gap from the Sixth Order.

Even with his Thunder Abilities, his attack power could only barely reach the level of the Sixth Order.

But these Metal Puppets were at the Peak of Sixth Order.

More importantly, they possessed an incredibly strong repair ability. During a fight, they didn’t bother with defense at all, and were all about aggressive offense.

So at first, Ye Feng might have been able to have an equal exchange with a Metal Puppet, but after about a dozen rounds, as soon as he sustained injuries, he gradually couldn’t hold on any longer and ended up fleeing in disarray.

"These puppets, they are really like bugs in existence! They have too much of an advantage at the same realm. It’s considered excellent for an average person to defeat a Puppet of the same order," said Ye Feng, out of breath after stopping.

"That’s to be expected. The Puppet armies were a major trump card of Heavenly Court back in the day, and their way of fighting isn’t about solo combat; they need to coordinate with formations to unleash their true combat strength," Gu Ao Duo said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Ye Feng felt a bit envious. During his recent chats with Gu Ao Duo, he had gleaned quite a lot of information.

There was another type of puppet above the Metal Puppets, the War Puppets.

These War Puppets were made from various rare metals, and the strongest of them could even reach the level of the Tenth Order.

Of course, the most terrifying aspect was when they attacked in formation.

Previously, Gu Ao Duo had bragged that the "God Slaying Array" composed of many puppets had truly killed a God-level Strongman.

Although Ye Feng wasn’t certain about the credibility of that claim, the power of those War Puppets was unquestionable.

As long as he could reach the Ancient Cosmic Path, he would become the true inheritor of the Heavenly Court Relics and would be able to command those War Puppets. So occasionally when Ye Feng thought about it, he felt quite excited.

...

While his human self was in rigorous training, the World Tree Body was also busy. Besides comprehending the Power of Life Rule, he also kept up with cultivating the Divine Wood God Body.

Now, the amount of Spiritual Energy Ye Feng harvested daily from the entire Donglin Mountain Range had reached a substantial 300 million.

The main reason for this was the ten High-level Spirit Gathering Arrays he had set up.

This directly boosted his daily harvest of Spiritual Energy from 20 million to 2 billion.

Furthermore, with the Spiritual Energy of the Donglin Mountain Range becoming so rich, the cultivation speed of the flora and fauna here naturally also soared.

In just one week, these trees had at least broken through a Minor Boundary, and many had made a breakthrough in a Big Realm.

As these mutated plants made their breakthroughs, their absorption rate of Spiritual Energy quickened, and Ye Feng naturally began to gather more and more Spiritual Energy every day.

However, the consumption required to cultivate the Divine Wood God Body was truly enormous, with each metamorphosis of body cells needing 80 million points of Power of Faith.

The 300 million points of Spiritual Energy harvested every day were only enough for him to undergo metamorphosis 3.75 times.

By the end of the week, Ye Feng had used up all the Spiritual Energy he had harvested each day, along with his previously stored energy, and had only completed 50 metamorphoses.

With the current pace, it would take him at least two more weeks to fully cultivate the Divine Wood God Body to the Minor Success Realm.

Nonetheless, even having undergone just 50 metamorphoses, Ye Feng’s strength had increased significantly.

In terms of defensive power, Ye Feng’s roots had already reached the Peak of the Eighth Order.

Once the Divine Wood God Body was truly cultivated to the Minor Success Realm, achieving Ninth Order defensive power was absolutely assured.

Furthermore, aside from its immense defensive power, the cultivation of the Divine Wood God Body had significantly sped up the conversion rate of Rule Power, which Ye Feng valued greatly.

A week earlier, when the Divine Wood God Body was only at the Entry Boundary, his cells had been strengthened 10 times, so the conversion rate of Rule Power had only increased tenfold.

As for now, at the stage of the Minor Success Realm, his cells had been strengthened 50 times, on top of the 10 times from the Entry Boundary, equivalent to 60 times in total.

The efficiency of Rule Power conversion had also increased by 60 times.

That meant he could convert 60 points of Rule Power in one minute, 3,600 points in an hour, which amounted to 86,400 points in a day.

It’s important to note that as an Early Stage Seventh Order Strongman, the amount of Rule Power Ye Feng could naturally store was only about 17,000 points.

Even if his Rule Power was completely depleted, it would take less than 5 hours to fully recover, an efficiency that would surely make other Seventh Order Strongmen green with envy.

More importantly, with the Evolution Fruit—a Divine Artifact for energy storage—no matter how much he converted, it could all be stored away.

Over the course of the week, the amount of Life Rule Power Ye Feng had stored exceeded 300,000 points, due mainly to the fact that his cellular enhancements had been relatively few in the initial days.

In the future, as the conversion efficiency continues to climb, and once he saves up a few million points of Rule Power, even Tenth Order Strongmen would find it difficult to match his depth of Rule Power.

That night, in rather high spirits, Ye Feng integrated three different Strange Flowers and Rare Fruits into his cells, further strengthening them three more times.

He continued until all the accumulated Spiritual Energy was exhausted, then finally stopped.

...

The next day, Ye Feng’s human persona emerged from the Land of Inheritance.

As usual, after finishing breakfast and arriving at Sunset Hospital, Liu Zaoxin and Bai Yinghui were the first to seek him out.

"Hello, Comrade Ye Feng, we’ve already reported your situation to the higher-ups," Liu Zaoxin said with a serious demeanor.

"The leaders take great interest in you, and fully considering your current circumstances, they have decided on the following rewards and arrangements for you," Bai Yinghui added.

"Firstly, you are awarded the rank of Major General, and you have the authority to directly command units below the regiment level. For brigade-level units, you can also issue a transfer request."

"Secondly, all cultivation resources for your three direct relatives will be reimbursed by the state until they reach the peak of the Sixth Order."

"Thirdly, we will make extensive publicity of your participation in the sea election, ensuring your fame spreads far and wide, not just within the country."

"That is all for now. If there is anything else you think we should add, please let us know. We will do our best to fulfill it," Liu Zaoxin said seriously.

"There’s nothing more I need. I’m very satisfied and hope for a pleasant cooperation," Ye Feng replied with a smile.

At this moment, Ye Feng was indeed very satisfied, because the others were only offering benefits without making any demands.

Liu Zaoxin and Bai Yinghui didn’t stay long as they had another urgent matter to attend to.

That matter was the Miller family’s announcement early in the morning that they had entered into a cooperation with the Dragon King.

They would be reassigning Mutated Animals from Dragon Hall to America to protect their family interests today.
