"It seems... I actually have some offensive power now. And it's not weak either..."
Staring at the green branch stretching two to three meters and swaying freely in the night sky, Yu Ziyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He had thought that becoming a tree would mean a lifetime of silent endurance.
But who would've thought—just a few days in, and he already possessed the "power" to fight back?
With a chuckle, Yu Ziyu could almost picture an amusing scene in his mind.
Those buzzing, irritating bees—he'd lash one for every one that came, double if they came in pairs.
These past few days, Yu Ziyu had had quite enough of those bees.
His location was a valley filled with wildflowers. Were they fragrant? Yu Ziyu couldn't smell, so he didn't know. But during the day, the bees came in swarms—buzzing to and fro, endlessly annoying.
This valley, worth mentioning, spanned about a hundred meters across, with its height likely far more than several hundred meters—like a crevice between two towering mountains.
As for exactly how tall it was, Yu Ziyu couldn't estimate.
After all, he himself was only about three to four meters tall.
There were plenty of trees around him much taller than he was.
And through the thick forest canopy, he couldn't begin to guess the height of the valley.
However, one fortunate thing was that his field of vision seemed to originate from each tip of his willow branches.
Currently, he had 360-degree vision.
The feeling was strange, yet undeniably real.
It was somewhat like the mythical "Byakugan"—the White Eye.
And through this vision, Yu Ziyu was no longer hindered by the thick branches blocking the sky—he could observe his surroundings as he pleased.
...
"Can trees really grow that tall?"
Looking at the towering trees around him, each requiring multiple people to encircle with their arms, Yu Ziyu couldn't help but feel confused.
There were willows among them as well—but regular weeping willows only grew to about 20–30 meters tall. Yet these ones...
Emmm...
His heart clenched.
Staring at these massive willows—each easily 50 to 60 meters tall—Yu Ziyu was stunned.
Still, there was something certain.
There seemed to be some strange substance in the air.
At times, Yu Ziyu felt warm—as if something was seeping into his body.
The sensation was soothing—almost like a massage.
Since it felt good, Yu Ziyu didn't resist it. In fact, he consciously began absorbing it.
Naturally, Yu Ziyu hadn't noticed one small detail—he had grown two to three meters taller in just a few days.
When he had first awakened, he had been just a sapling.
Now, he was already a small tree.
...
Though his body was now a willow, his consciousness remained intact.
So, Yu Ziyu still needed rest.
Shutting off his vision, it felt almost like falling asleep.
In the blink of an eye, most of the night passed.
A faint light now hovered along the edge of the sky—like a glowing halo, mesmerizing and soft.
The dense forest was cloaked in thick, damp fog.
Mist shrouded the surroundings, casting the ancient, untouched woodland in a dreamlike, immortal glow.
Buzz buzz...
Suddenly, a sound reached him—Yu Ziyu instinctively opened his eyes.
In his sight, a bee was lazily flying by.
"Interrupting my sleep again..."
Muttering in annoyance, Yu Ziyu suddenly froze.
Then, as if thinking of something, he muttered viciously:
"A gentleman's revenge may wait ten years—
A willow tree's revenge only takes a few days."
With those words, a sharp crack echoed.
A green whip-like branch sliced through the air.
And then—nothing more.
The buzzing stopped abruptly.
At the same time, a faint mist of blood slowly bloomed in the air.
"Uh..."
Staring at the bee, utterly obliterated before it even had a chance to fly off, Yu Ziyu was left momentarily dumbfounded.
This power… it wasn't just terrifying—it was downright brutal.
And just then, a familiar voice echoed in his mind:
"Ding! You have killed one bee. Evolution Point +0.1."
Hearing this voice, Yu Ziyu remained calm.
It was the system. It had only spoken once before.
He hadn't expected it to chime in again now.
Was it only for notifications?
Thinking about it, Yu Ziyu put the thought aside and turned to check his Evolution Points.
It really had increased by 0.1.
"This… is a very pleasant surprise."
A bit slow to react, Yu Ziyu finally looked as if he had discovered a new world—his voice tinged with excitement.
After all, basking in sunlight all day had only earned him 0.1 Evolution Points.
But now?
He got the same amount just by smacking a bee to death.
Clearly, plundering and killing was the true path to power.
Pah pah pah.
What was he thinking?
He was destined to become a great being like the Willow Deity! How could he stoop to pillaging?
This was simply the law of the jungle, that's all.
