Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Additionally, due to the huge temperature difference in the air, the temple hall was filled with an enormous amount of dense, white fog at this time, obscuring Rein's figure, making even the unusually large flesh tree spirit unclear.

At this moment, Rein stomped his right foot heavily and swung the greatsword in his hands. Like an arrow released from a bow, he rapidly shot toward the true body of the flesh tree spirit.

Along the way for more than ten meters, there was a constant 'crack' sound as the white roots kept falling to the ground.

Under the influence of the low temperature, these originally tough roots had become extremely fragile.

Thus, dozens of white tendrils were cleared by Rein in an instant, creating a long, direct pathway to the flesh tree spirit's trunk!

Rein shook the Glimmering Greatsword in his hands and, in the next second, he was already beside the trunk of the flesh tree spirit.

As Rein's left hand rested on the rough skin of the flesh tree spirit, a deep incantation began to resonate from his mouth.

Yes, Rein was casting the level 2 sorcery 'Scorching Touch' he had mastered!

After a brief spell chant of just over two seconds, a red glow emerged from Rein's palm and quickly penetrated into the rough skin of the flesh tree spirit.

Twenty-two points of spiritual power significantly enhanced the potency of Rein's Scorching Touch.

Although it was not yet known by how much, it was sure to be significantly more than before.

Hmm?

In an instant, Rein felt as if he had ignited a powder keg!

It seemed that the flesh tree spirit's body was filled with gasoline, just lacking a fuse.

And his 'Scorching Touch' was that match.

Suddenly Rein's expression drastically changed, and he quickly retreated.

The next second!

"Boom!!"

The flesh tree spirit let out a scream!

The area that Rein had just touched exploded into a gigantic cavity half a person tall and, furthermore, blazing flames continued to burn the body of the flesh tree spirit at the wound.

The roots around were frantically trying to extinguish the flames on the wound, but because they had been slowed down by the 'Extreme Cold Wind' sorcery scroll, the firefighting effort was not effective.

This caused the burning to gradually become more intense.

Rein was immediately overjoyed!

Obviously, this verified that his previous judgment was accurate.

This flesh tree spirit, bearing the word 'tree' in its name, indeed feared fire.

Rein felt that he should really thank the person who first named the flesh tree spirit.

Precise naming contained the key to defeating the enemy.

Almost without hesitation, Rein decided he must definitely take advantage of the situation!

Using the words of a great man: 'It is right to press home the pursuit and drive the beaten enemy; it is not fitting to exploit one's reputation and play the tyrant.'

Immediately, Rein propelled himself forward again, rapidly circling around the flesh tree spirit, attacking whenever an opportunity arose, and would release the 'Scorching Touch' sorcery on other parts of the flesh tree spirit.

Although the flesh tree spirit instinctively tried its best to dodge Rein's attacks, having suffered from the 'Extreme Cold Wind' sorcery, its body, including the roots, moved significantly slower and was utterly unable to avoid Rein's strikes and approaches.

Thus, within just a few more than ten seconds, several parts of the flesh tree spirit's body were ignited by Rein!

And with multiple parts exploding consecutively, it seemed to trigger some sort of chain reaction!

Suddenly, the nearly twenty-meter long body of the flesh tree spirit stopped moving; it no longer avoided Rein's attacks but started to tremble slightly.

The next second, the vast body of the flesh tree spirit suddenly swelled and glowed a fiery red.

At this moment, its body seemed to be filled with magma, much like a volcano about to erupt.

Immediately, Rein was startled and quickly retreated!

He was still quite worried about whether the flesh tree spirit had any other trump cards, or some kind of desperate last resort move.

But the next second, under Rein's watch, the vast body of the flesh tree spirit sharply contracted back and rapidly shriveled, all the while emitting a large amount of pungent, foul-smelling black smoke.

And its densely packed tendrils, at this time, seemed to have suddenly lost all vitality, hanging limply and motionlessly.

It seemed that the swelling and contracting had released all the energy inside the flesh tree spirit in one go.

For a moment, the flesh tree spirit was utterly silent!

At this time, the system prompt sounded:

[Your Skill Giant Bear Sword Technique has been upgraded, Experience +1291]

[Your Skill Scorching Touch has been upgraded, Experience +35]

[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Transcendent) Experience +276, Wizard Apprentice (Transcendent) Experience +112]

Upon seeing this, Rein immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although the flesh tree spirit was formidable, it didn't have any second phase or transformation.

At this moment, it should truly be dead.

Huh?

What is this?

Rein keenly noticed, under the carcass of the flesh tree spirit, he seemed to sense a special faint aura.

This aura, which Rein was encountering for the first time, was filled with a sense of vitality, grandeur, and spirituality, and also seemed to carry an indescribable... evil?

Immediately, Rein swiftly cut open the bottom of the flesh tree spirit.

There, a crystal the size of a walnut and a pale gold little tree enveloped in a fist-sized transparent membrane appeared before Rein's eyes.

Hiss!

This is...

The sensation he had just perceived was likely the aura of the pale gold little tree, which was entirely a pale gold color, seemingly divine, but the sharp-eyed Rein noticed that beneath its pale gold exterior, there seemed to be a stream of black energy continuously flowing.
