Chapter 146: 133. The Second Transformation of the Space Pearl, Spirit Tree Space
Morning.
Plante Airport.
Yang Fan, in the identity of Mr. Ghost, stepped out of the villa.
Major Wu received a report from his subordinates and came immediately upon hearing the news.
This lord stayed at Ghost Palace for several days; now that he suddenly stepped out, he obviously needed to come to have a look.
Major Wu jogged over, respectfully asked, "Mr. Ghost, do you need anything?"
Yang Fan strolled along the path, shook his head and said, "No! Just out for a walk."
Major Wu happily mentioned a piece of news, "Regarding the disciple named Zhuang Jun that you favored…"
Yang Fan noticed a term and interrupted, "Disciple?"
Major Wu explained with a smile, "The twelve superpower users you taught the Star Trace, are now being called Ghost Disciples."
Yang Fan was a bit speechless.
However, he didn't say anything more because what others call them is their freedom, he wouldn't intervene in such trivial matters.
He also understood that bearing the title of Ghost Disciple, although bringing certain benefits, also acted as a shackle.
If this group's performance doesn't meet others' expectations of Ghost Disciples, they'll undoubtedly feel immense pressure.
No choice.
To wear the crown, one must bear its weight!
Major Wu continued with the news, "Yesterday, a mutated poisonous mosquito appeared in the northwest region of Shapudian.
"Zhuang Jun tracked the mutated mosquito from afar, using an armed helicopter.
"Zhuang Jun, leveraging the Star Trace secret technique you taught, roughly sensed the direction of the mutated mosquito.
"It's estimated that his sensing precision is around 150 meters, although quite low, it's a huge breakthrough!"
Major Wu sincerely said, "Mr. Ghost, you've made an unparalleled contribution to Great Xia."
Yang Fan shook his head, "Just a small trick."
Major Wu disagreed, "With the Star Trace secret technique, we no longer need to rely on deceitful artifacts, sacrificing lives to track the mutated mosquito, the chief governor said it's an amazing secret technique."
Yang Fan wasn't in the mood to argue, he turned into a forked gravel path by himself.
Major Wu closely followed and brought up another piece of news, "In the morning, Zhuang Jun took a spiritual power test, his spirit value reached 15.2 points."
The Major sighed, "In just a few days, Zhuang Jun's spirit value skyrocketed from 14.1 points to 15.2 points, this event shook Great Xia's superpower user circle."
Major Wu wasn't sighing about Zhuang Jun, but about the brilliance of the Star Trace secret technique.
Yang Fan remained silent.
In two days, he raised his physical value to 80 points and his spirit value to 100 points.
Zhuang Jun barely increased his spirit value by 1 point.
Is such a slow speed really worth mentioning?
Great Xia's superpower users being shocked by such a trivial matter, truly have no ambition!
Major Wu switched topics, "The theory you proposed, 'Supernatural powers are a higher-dimensional force', is being hotly discussed at the Superpower Research Institute.
"Many researchers feel, compared to Miss Jana's 'Super Spiritual Power Ocean' theory, the higher dimension theory more aptly fits the situation of Canglan People.
"The Superpower Research Institute plans to include the higher dimension theory in the next revision of the Superpower Secret Scripture."
Yang Fan, unconcerned about revisions, only uttered an "Oh."
He recalled information from his dream realm roaming the Primordial World, and added a phrase, "Mei Jia Civilization is an oceanic world.
"Their planet is 99% ocean, with the remaining 1% being countless islands scattered across the ocean.
"These islands aren't fixed but continually drift on the ocean surface."
Major Wu, eyes wide open, marveled, "Truly amazing."
He pondered aloud, "Thus, the Super Spiritual Power Ocean indeed matches Mei Jia Civilization's environment.
"Canglan Star's environment is entirely different from the Mei Jia people's; indeed, blindly adopting their theory isn't suitable."
Major Wu curiously asked, "Mr. Ghost, have you ever been to Mei Jia Civilization?"
Yang Fan nodded.
Visited in a dream, so it counts.
No objections accepted!
Major Wu smacked his lips, seeing the lord's vast supernatural prowess.
Miss Jana acquired assistance from Mei Jia Civilization, risked her life, suffering considerable injuries, to reach Canglan Star.
The Ghost Lord visited Mei Jia Civilization and returned unharmed.
Major Wu then mentioned an international news, "The top military figure of Lan shi Kingdom, McMallaman, resigned from all positions.
"He contacted Great Xia through certain channels, expressing his intention to bring his family to join Great Xia."
The Major chuckled, "Mr. Ghost, in fact, this matter has a close connection with you."
If not for the two Flying Sand Dragonflies appearing in Lan shi Kingdom, McMallaman wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
If Great Xia Military hadn't decisively slain a Flying Sand Dragonfly, Lan shi Military wouldn't have appeared so incompetent.
Yang Fan slightly curled his lips, asked, "Are Lan shi people willing to let him go?"
Major Wu continued, "McMallaman knows a lot of scandals about Lan shi Military; the Lan shi people don't want to be too embarrassed, so they're letting him go.
"Otherwise, McMallaman prepared some measures to expose these matters; they'd all be doomed together.
"McMallaman amassed a fortune of one billion pounds over years of service in Lan shi, along with a substantial stockpile of resources.
"After negotiations among three parties, McMallaman donated most of his wealth to Great Xia; all eleven family members gained Great Xia citizenship."
Major Wu grinned, "This is a win-win decision; McMallaman and his family gained safety, Lan shi Kingdom rid itself of trouble, and Great Xia obtained resources."
Yang Fan nodded.
He knew, Major Wu's words had slight misrepresentation.
It's not "Lan shi Kingdom" rid of trouble, but "Lan shi aristocrats."
Not everyone was a winner in this affair; a large number of resources flowed overseas, leaving the ordinary people of Lan shi Kingdom as the losers.
At this moment.
Yang Fan abruptly stopped, eyes fixed on a nearby bush.
His mouth curled, reaching to touch a leaf of the bush.
The next moment.
The entire bush vanished.
A large pit remained on the ground.
Major Wu was utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend why the Ghost Lord took the bush away.
Yang Fan observed with his spirit the Space Pearl, becoming increasingly delighted.
Inside the partitioned space, strands of green light streamed.
These were the energy transformed from six Spirit Fruits.
A bush, soil-clad, hovered in mid-air.
Green light seemed to find its target, swarming and flooding into the bush.
The bush, like consuming a supreme vitality pill, began to expand dramatically.
Mere five seconds later.
The bush grew from its initial height of over a meter to five meters.
Each leaf turned a vibrant green, displaying mysterious patterns.
Yang Fan's gaze locked onto a bee.
He pretended to grab the bee from afar with open fingers, instantly transporting it into the partitioned space.
The bee bewilderedly flew a circle inside the space before settling on a branch.
Yet the bee remained alive.
Previously, bees couldn't be brought into the space at all.
Major Wu watched increasingly puzzled.
What exactly is the Ghost Lord doing?
Yang Fan inwardly declared, "This tree is now a Spirit Tree, and this partitioned space shall be named 'Spirit Tree Space'."
Spirit Tree Space possesses a major trait—it can store living creatures.
Starting today, he could carry various animal companions when venturing out.
Furthermore.
The chosen bush inherently possessed a sliver of superpower trait.
After absorbing the Spirit Fruit's energy, it completely transmuted into a Spirit Tree.
The Spirit Tree and Spirit Tree Space are interconnected, being both the core of the space and the foundation of its stability.
When the Spirit Tree grows to a certain age and size, it will bear Spirit Fruits.
Of course.
This process is rather lengthy.
To grow naturally, a Spirit Tree requires at least several centuries.
