"All the Earth and Wood Element Qi are getting pulled in by the little seed!"
Xu Tao commented, explaining the current situation briefly.
Within seconds, almost all of the True Heavenly Qi from the soil was sapped, leaving it as nothing more than normal, "healthy" soil. That alone was a surprise, but... it didn't end there.
The ground started to bulge, as if something was rising from below. Xu Tao, sensing danger, quickly jumped away, landing a few meters beyond the planter's edge.
"Pui...!"
Even Pepe could feel that something was about to happen, and stuck close to Xu Tao's leg, hiding.
The next moment—
WHOOOSH!
—the earth exploded, and from within it, a small sapling rose. It started out only as tall as Pepe but grew rapidly, like it was on steroids, becoming a full-sized tree within a few seconds.
It wasn't a kind of tree that Xu Tao had ever seen before.
