Nanying, as a Domain Master, had been a Domain Master mentor in the Wood Domain of the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp for many years. Ender believed that his favorable view of him, based on his experience, was a normal investment.
However, this Mentor Madore, whom he had never even met, suddenly wanted to invest in him.
He claimed to have seen his talent and believed he had a high chance of becoming a high-ranking official in the Molten Rock Empire in the future.
Ender secretly speculated, "Is it because my home planet is a Cultivation planet, and thus a direct lineage of the Molten Rock Empire?"
As he thought this, his movements were not slow at all. He quickly wrote a message on his communicator, reporting the discovery of the Toothed Grass to the Stellar Training Camp.
Soon, he received a reply from the Stellar Training Camp. The message told him not to worry about the Toothed Grass and to continue with his trial mission. The Toothed Grass would be handled by a specialist, and the reward would be issued after the trial mission concluded.
"I wonder how many points I'll get for reporting the Toothed Grass. I hope it's a lot."
Although Ender didn't know the value of Toothed Grass, he estimated it wouldn't be lower than a third-tier Spiritual Force Force Weapons.
Swish!
Leaving the area where the Toothed Grass was located, he continued to search for the remaining two objectives of the basic mission.
After half a day, he finally collected the remaining two plant objectives.
As he completed the basic mission, his name appeared in third place on the Time Race leaderboard. The top two were Cortinia and Ian, who finished nearly a day faster than him.
"Hmm? I'm actually in third place."
Ender was a little surprised. He had thought his ranking would stabilize in the top ten, and the top three should have been within the grasp of Ian's trio. He didn't expect to unexpectedly get third place, pushing Akum down.
...
At the other end of the trial planet, Akum finally collected the last mission objective. Because the last mission objective was Ore, it took him a long time to mine it.
But when he completed the basic mission, he found that he was only ranked fourth, and third place was occupied by Ender, with whom he had previously teamed up.
"It's fourth place!" Akum was a little depressed. "The last collection objective took too much time, otherwise I would definitely be in the top three."
He saw the time Ender took to complete the basic mission, which was only a few minutes faster than him, and this was also the reason for his frustration.
Opening his communicator, he sent a message to his two teammates, "I've completed the basic mission, but unfortunately, I was a little slower than Ender, so my ranking is only fourth."
Soon, Ian replied, "You took too long to collect the last mission objective, so being in fourth place is normal. Hurry and rendezvous with us to complete more additional objectives to make up for the loss."
"Okay." After a brief reply, Akum flew towards his two teammates to rendezvous.
...
After completing the basic mission and checking the rankings, Ender contacted Rolando and learned that he still lacked one mission objective. He then opened his communicator to check his additional collection objectives.
"This Nightmare Flower is in this forest. I can collect this first."
Seeing that there was an additional collection objective in the forest he was in, he noted down the appearance and characteristics of the Nightmare Flower and began to search for it in the forest.
After nearly half a day, Ender found the additional collection objective, the Nightmare Flower. At the same time, he had also received a message from Rolando, who had completed the basic collection mission and, as expected, was ranked fifth.
"This is the Nightmare Flower."
In a tree hollow dozens of meters away, Ender scanned this additional collection objective with his Spiritual Force.
This was a completely black plant, over a meter tall, with a straight stem and an overall metallic luster. Swish!
Ender flew quickly, arriving at the tree hollow where the Nightmare Flower grew in the blink of an eye. Due to his speed on arrival, a "whoosh" of strong wind was stirred up in the tree hollow.
Although a strong wind blew in the tree hollow, the Nightmare Flower was unaffected. Its stem remained straight, and not a single leaf or petal trembled.
"This flower feels a bit strange."
To be safe, he covered his entire body with his Force Armor and carefully walked over, preparing to collect a petal of the Nightmare Flower.
This Nightmare Flower had four petals. He only needed to collect one, leaving the other three for others.
"Hmm?"
Ender was a little surprised. He pinched a petal of the Nightmare Flower and tried to pluck it gently, but it didn't come off.
One must know that his physical quality was Stellar Rank. Although he only plucked it gently, lifting a car would be no problem for him.
Yet, despite this, he couldn't pluck the petal of the Nightmare Flower!
"The texture of this Nightmare Flower is somewhat like metal... Hiss!"
Ender touched the petal of the Nightmare Flower, feeling as if he was touching cold metal rather than a plant. So he couldn't help but tap the edge of a petal, and immediately gasped!
Because his finger was injured!
While wearing a first-tier Force Armor, he was cut by the petal of the Nightmare Flower.
Ender was surprised, "I was cut even while wearing a first-tier Force Armor?"
He retracted the palm part of his first-tier Force Armor, raised his hand to look at the wound, and was instantly stunned when he saw it.
He saw that the finger, which had been cut by the Nightmare Flower petal, was slowly healing at a visible speed!
If it weren't for a trace of blood remaining at the original wound on his finger, proving that his finger had indeed been injured and bled, he would have almost thought that the injury to his finger was an illusion!
"What exactly is going on?"
Ender found it difficult to understand why the wound on his finger was healing at a visible speed.
He looked at the black, straight Nightmare Flower, speculating in his heart, "Is it because of it?"
To verify his suspicion, he opened his communicator and found the information about the Nightmare Flower in the additional missions. However, the information only stated that the Nightmare Flower was as strong as B-grade metal, and its leaves and petal edges were as sharp as C-grade metal.
"Although the Nightmare Flower is special, it's only as strong and sharp as metal. If it could really make wounds heal quickly, the Stellar Training Camp wouldn't fail to mark it."
"Since it's not because of the Nightmare Flower, why is my wound healing so quickly?"
Ender was puzzled and began to ponder, "It shouldn't be caused by a Domain either. Many people have comprehended the Wood Domain, and there's no precedent of wounds healing quickly."
After guessing and then denying it, he thought of another possibility, "Could the rapid healing of wounds be an ability inherent in my body?"
When his Gene Energy Broke through to Planetary Level and he Awakened a special ability, there was a large-scale anomaly in the Joint Training Camp on Kuka Planet. At that time, he believed that he had caused the anomaly.
But later, apart from his energy recovery speed being very fast, there was nothing special about his body, which made him think that the special ability he Awakened was just extremely fast energy recovery.
But now that this swift regeneration has appeared, this makes him suspect that the special ability he Awakened is not that simple!
