I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

Pfft~
As Qin Tian dove into the lake, the first thing he saw was a several-hundred-meter-tall willow tree, its roots deeply embedded in the lakebed.
Around its roots was a circle of green crystals, and besides that, there was also a treasure chest.
"That should be the willow tree's guardian item."
Qin Tian's lips curved upward. While the geniuses were fighting the willow tree outside, he was quietly stealing from its home. This feeling was simply too satisfying.
Just then, the Spirit Devouring Demon Vine on his wrist suddenly became excited, its tip rising and pointing at the circle of green crystals.
"Jiela, you want those green crystals?"
Qin Tian was startled. The willow tree's roots were intertwined with the green crystals. If he were to take the green crystals, it would inevitably alert the willow tree. It wasn't that he was afraid of the willow tree, but doing so would cause considerable trouble.
Moreover, he had already sensed the presence of cameras at the bottom of the lake. If he wanted to take the green crystals, he would inevitably expose his invisibility ability.
Swish swish~
The vine's tip moved up and down, which was Jiela imitating a human's nodding motion.
"Alright, since you want them, I'll get them for you."
Qin Tian stared at the circle of green crystals under the tree roots. Actually, there wasn't only one way to obtain the crystals; other methods could also be tried.
The distorted light dissipated, and Qin Tian intentionally released a trace of his aura, quickly diving downwards.
In an instant, the willow tree sensed his presence, and the underwater part immediately went into a frenzy. Dozens of thick roots, like an octopus's tentacles, swept towards him.
At the same time, the underwater camera clearly captured his figure.
The director was very sensible and immediately cut a split screen into the live broadcast channel. The left side displayed the scene of the geniuses battling the willow tree on the shore, while the right side showed the sudden situation at the bottom of the lake.
And the appearance of the split screen instantly caused the live broadcast room to erupt.
"Holy crap, there's a thief!!!"
"Shameless rogue, when did he sneak in?"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, hurry and catch the thief!"
"This guy is too awesome, he snuck into the bottom of the lake right under the noses of three geniuses."
"But he probably didn't expect that the underwater willow tree is not to be trifled with. He's in for it!"
Dozens of roots attacked Qin Tian. Underwater, their swinging speed was not fast, but they blocked all possible escape routes for Qin Tian.

Just as the audience was about to post schadenfreude comments, what happened next directly stunned their eyes.
They saw Black Crow, the examiner, slowly ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) raise his right hand.
The next moment, all the roots instantly stopped in front of him, as if the world had pressed the pause button.
Whoosh, a root slowly approached, gently touching Black Crow's right hand. Immediately after, it twisted happily like a pet being stroked by its owner.
"WTF??? What did I see?"
"No way, what kind of ability is this? Could it be someone from the Oriental Family coming to join in?"
"Inside job, this is definitely an inside job!!!"
The comments section instantly exploded. All the viewers were both surprised and extremely angry.
The three great geniuses on the shore were fighting the willow tree to the death, while the examiner underwater was being intimate with the willow tree.
The supporters of the geniuses could not accept this and began to frantically bombard the comments section and complain to the officials.
"Sure enough, Green Field Monarch is useful."
Under the mask, Qin Tian's lips curled slightly. He wasn't afraid of exposing his plant affinity ability. If anyone truly questioned him later, he would simply say it was a new ability gained after receiving the Tree God's blessing.
As long as everything had a traceable origin, he would use his abilities when needed.
Qin Tian grabbed the tree root, and being pulled by it, he quickly reached the bottom of the lake. Just then, Jiela suddenly grew, and suction-cup-like patterns appeared on her vines, wrapping halfway around the willow tree's root, attaching more than seventy percent of the green crystals to herself, and furiously absorbing the energy within them.
Whoosh~
The tree root swayed, the willow tree expressing its displeasure.
Qin Tian quickly grabbed the willow tree's root, and then the power of Green Field Monarch surged into its body like flowing water.
Boom!!!
An undercurrent vortex suddenly surged underwater, and the willow tree, as if on stimulants, erupted with astonishing energy on the shore.
Swish! Several willow branches whipped from the side. Mo Qingyu had already figured out the attack patterns of the willow branches. Compared to the varied martial arts of Spiritual Energy Users, this spiritual plant fought entirely by instinct. After adapting for a while, its attacks could hardly pose a threat to him anymore.
However, the willow tree's defense and vitality were unbelievably strong. The three of them had already given their all, using every method they had, but they still couldn't defeat the willow tree.
Now, they could only slowly chip away at its health, like fighting a BOSS-level monster in a game.
Mo Qingyu raised his hand and swung his sword, striking the willow branch. At the same time, he pushed off the ground with his feet, like a flying bird, attempting to weave through the willow branches.
However, the willow branch, which should have been easily cut, was now harder than high-grade alloy. The sword's edge only left a white mark on the willow branch.
This sudden change caught Mo Qingyu off guard, causing a slight stagnation in his movement. The willow branches seized the opportunity, whipping his front and back like whips, one after another.
The violent force shattered his protective spiritual energy.
Mo Qingyu spun several times in the air like a top struck by a long whip, then fell heavily into the distance.
What!!!
This scene stunned Andrew and Nangong Yue.
One must know that in terms of strength, Mo Qingyu was the strongest of the three.
Mo Qingyu was a four-star genius, while both of them were three-star.
However, Mo Qingyu, who had been increasingly at ease just moments ago, was now knocked down by two whips from the willow tree.
What on earth was going on?
Snap snap snap~~
The willow branches grew wildly, whipping towards the three of them like disheveled hair.
Andrew and Nangong Yue dared not be careless. They withdrew their attacks and focused all their attention on defense.
On the other side, Mo Qingyu was, after all, a four-star genius. Although his blood and qi churned and his chest and back ached terribly after being whipped twice,
his injuries were not too severe.
He became extremely vigilant. His Heaven Profound Sword Intent swept out. This time, the willow branches could not withstand the power of the sword's edge, enhanced by the sword intent, and broke off in sections.
However, the willow branches' self-healing ability was terrifyingly strong. They grew back wildly in an instant, lashing over the three of them from all directions.
At this moment, the comments section was simply like an Explosion.
"What's going on? How did this willow tree get so strong, like it's on drugs?"
"Damn it! That Black Crow is definitely from the Oriental Family. His ability is exactly the same as the Greenwood Bloodline!"
"Inside job! Inside job! I want to protest, I want to report!!!"
"Stop fighting, hurry and go check the bottom of the lake!"
Mo Qingyu and the other two were still unaware of the commotion underwater. They just felt that this willow tree was too strange. How did it suddenly become so fierce? At this moment, Andrew suddenly said:
"I feel like it's about to die. This is its last struggle before death. Just hold on a little longer, and we'll win soon."
"Okay!"
Mo Qingyu and Nangong Yue responded in unison.
Seeing this scene, the comments section exploded even more. "What do you mean 'about to die'? It's on drugs."
"Three big fools, their home is about to be stolen!"
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Today's grotesque video has material."
The battle on the shore continued. Underwater, Jiela had completely absorbed the energy from the green crystals and shrunk back into a bracelet, her purple leaves swaying, conveying a happy emotion to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian smiled, then slowly swam towards the treasure chest and opened it.
