Killing monsters with a 100% explosion rate, are you luckier than me?

Ye Chuyun tentatively invested 8000 attribute points, which were transformed into a soft, milky-white light that enveloped the strands of black hair.

The milky white light made a slight "sizzling" sound when it came into contact with the black threads.

The black threads were noticeably weakened and faded considerably, but they did not disappear completely and continued to stubbornly erode the tender shoots.

"Not enough, not enough strength. The mold will develop resistance and must be eradicated in one go. Quickly add another 7000 points!" Potts urged.

Ye Chuyun ignored it.

He observed that after investing 8000 points, the buds were still being eroded, but the rate of erosion slowed down.

He waited about three seconds to allow the previous purifying power to take full effect, and then invested another 5000 attribute points.

Another milky white light merged in, and this time, the remaining black threads completely disappeared.

The tender shoots regained their vitality and even seemed more resilient after experiencing this ordeal.

[Successfully resisted "corrosive mold," the Seed's resilience has slightly increased.]

Ye Chuyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness. If we had listened to Potts and invested 15000 points at once, not to mention the attribute points consumed, the powerful purifying force would likely have damaged the sprout itself.

Ye Chuyun became even more cautious after that.

He no longer completely trusted Potts's words, but relied on his own careful observation to judge the condition of the seeds and soil, and to decide the timing and amount of attribute points to invest.

The growth period, leaf unfolding period, bud formation period... each stage has different needs and potential risks.

Sometimes it is necessary to continuously and in small doses of attribute points to simulate the nourishment of a light rain.

Sometimes, it is necessary to seize the right opportunity and administer a large dose at once to achieve a key breakthrough.

Sometimes, when soil activity decreases, it is necessary to loosen the soil in a timely manner.

Sometimes, it is also necessary to deal with sudden energy storms, which requires consuming attribute points to build protection.

Sometimes greedy aphids appear, requiring precise targeting to kill them. Investing too many attribute points will damage the plant, while investing too few will prevent their removal.

Potts stood by, sometimes yelling and sometimes giving seemingly reasonable but actually misleading advice.

Ye Chuyun remained calm throughout, making correct judgments time and time again through meticulous observation.

The attribute points invested have been increasing, accumulating to over 150,000 points.

The Seed of Evolution has grown from a tiny seed into a strange plant about a foot tall.

This strange plant is entirely emerald green, radiating a shimmering, precious light, with a flower bud about to bloom at its tip.

Now only one final step remains: blooming.

It is considered fully mature after it blooms.

However, at this final moment, the greatest crisis struck.

Without warning, the red soil began to churn violently, its color turning as dark as congealed blood.

A violent energy erupted from deep within the soil, frantically draining the plant's life force.

The lush green plants began to wither at a visible rate, and the flower buds also became droopy.

"It's over, it's soil backlash!" Potts' voice was filled with genuine terror this time. "The energy accumulated in the red soil is too enormous, and it has gone out of control in the final stage. It needs a massive amount of attribute points to soothe and channel it."

"At least... at least 200,000 attribute points need to be invested at once."

"Hurry up, or all our efforts will be in vain!"

Ye Chuyun's expression changed.

Two hundred thousand points... He only has less than 150,000 points left in total, which is simply not enough!

Seeing the plant withering rapidly, Ye Chuyun was extremely anxious.

Even investing all attribute points isn't enough; is it really going to fail?

Wouldn't all those tens of thousands of points invested before be wasted?

No, there must be a way!

Ye Chuyun forced herself to calm down, her brain working at an unprecedented speed.

Violent energy...backlash...relief...

"Wait, channeling?" Ye Chuyun's eyes lit up.

He recalled that when dealing with energy storms before, he defended against them by building energy shields.

But this time it's an energy out of control inside the soil; resisting is a poor strategy, while channeling is the best approach.

But how do I channel these resources? I don't have enough attribute points.

Ye Chuyun's gaze suddenly fixed on the withering plant itself.

This "Seed of Evolution" absorbed a massive amount of attribute points; it is itself a huge energy aggregate.

But now its energy is being violently extracted by the soil.

What if we could reverse this process?

A near-crazy idea was born.

Instead of trying to appease the soil by adding attribute points, Ye Chuyun did something that left Potts speechless.

He poured all his remaining attribute points, approximately 145,000 points, into the withering plant itself in one go.

"Are you crazy?" Potts screamed.

"It was already being drained, and you're still injecting energy into it?"

"This will hasten its destruction!"

Ye Chuyun ignored him and continued doing her own thing.

However, a miracle happened!

With the infusion of these massive attribute points, the originally withered and droopy plant seemed to have been injected with a powerful stimulant, suddenly bursting out with a dazzling emerald green light.

This immense life energy was not used to resist the extraction from the soil, but instead flowed back into the raging red soil through the extraction channels.

The life energy of plants and the violent energy of the soil, in this desperate struggle, have surprisingly found a strange balance.

The two energies, emerald green and dark red, began to merge wildly, using the plant as a bridge.

The withering stopped, and the plant became upright and green again, even more vibrant than before.

The raging red soil gradually calmed down, and its color turned into a deeper, darker red.

All the mania was calmed down and transformed into a more profound strength.

"This... how is this possible?" Potts's beady eyes widened, utterly speechless.

Just as the two energies completely merged and reached equilibrium, the flower bud at the top of the plant, which was about to bloom, finally opened gracefully.

At the center of the flower is a chaotic ball of light that is constantly changing shape and contains infinite possibilities.

The Seed of Evolution has blossomed and entered its mature stage.

At the same time, after blooming, the plant quickly turned into specks of light and disappeared, leaving only a crystal-clear emerald green leaf that fell and was caught by Ye Chuyun.
