Chapter 613 Cunning
After Chen Yang’s inquiry, there was silence for several seconds.
Seeing this, Chen Yang had to unleash his flame inner energy, threatening, "If you don't speak, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The bronze tree finally spoke again, "It's me, don't make a move."
Under Chen Yang's mental energy coverage, he finally discovered the abnormality of the bronze tree just now.
The bronze tree was not only cast in bronze as its main body, but even its small branches were made of bronze. A slight tremor could produce a sound. Seeing this
Chen Yang's face immediately broke into a smile, as long as communication was possible, it was enough.
"What is this power you extract?"
"What is your relationship with the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable?"
Chen Yang received no answers to these successive questions.
Although the bronze tree had gained sentience long ago, it could not even communicate normally. It was only when it was with the Black Ice organization that it developed human-like intelligence.
The bronze tree vaguely remembered a very powerful aura: "That should be what you call the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable."
A powerful aura!
Chen Yang raised an eyebrow: "Compared to the aura on me, how is it?"
Although there were differences between peak Grandmasters, Chen Yang had seen one peak Grandmaster overpower five others.
According to Chen Yang's speculation, the fact that the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable could subjugate several major organizations proved that his martial power was the peak of peak Grandmasters.
"Cannot compare, it's different from the power on you."
"No, to be precise, your power and the Sacred Moon Divine Venerable's power are different from others, and your powers are similar yet vastly different."
The bronze tree could not only absorb essence blood to convert its power, but it could also extract certain memories from these powers.
Of course, these memories had to be very deep ones.
This gave it a deep foundation in cultivation.
As for the method by which the bronze tree extracted power, according to its description, it was because its body itself needed this power, so it could not explain the method clearly.
If too much power was filtered out, the bronze tree also needed to expel some of the power as a gift.
"Are you willingly giving them power like this?"
"Do they also possess this kind of flame?"
Chen Yang said, igniting the flame inner energy from his heart.
The moment the bronze tree felt the flame inner energy, its branches began to tremble.
The bronze tree hurriedly shouted, "Quickly put this thing away!"
"I'm going to throw up!"
Hearing the first sentence, Chen Yang was about to withdraw his flame inner energy when he immediately saw pure bloodline power blood flowing from the branches of the bronze tree.
Chen Yang's eyes widened, and he immediately collected the bloodline power blood into his pouch.
So, this guy's "going to throw up" meant throwing out such good stuff?
Knowing the method to extract bloodline power blood, Chen Yang said with a smile, "What? When you were with the Black Ice organization, you were willing to give them bloodline power, but when you saw me, you had to make me do it?"
Seeing that Chen Yang had put away his flames, the bronze tree said helplessly, "No, it's because the energy in my body is about to overflow. I expel a little weak energy to relieve the pressure, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll explode."
"Have you ever seen a bronze explosion? It sounds terrible."
"Also, don't bring that flame near me, I will uncontrollably mobilize energy. I have never mobilized so much energy before, and I might explode if I'm not careful."
Chen Yang stood foolishly opposite the bronze tree, listening to its whispers in his ear, his face growing darker and darker.
It turned out that the bronze tree before him had absorbed power to its limit, and Chen Yang realized that this guy was a chatterbox.
"Stop, stop, stop, I'll ask you one last question."
"If I want to use your power, how much power can you provide now?"
In response to Chen Yang's question, the bronze tree was silent for a moment, and then said, "Without harming myself, for martial artists of the same level as before, thousands of them would not be a problem."
In fact, this was the bronze tree underestimating itself. The bronze tree had been absorbing others' energy to maintain its sentience, and the energy stored within the bronze tree now was enough to sustain it for a long time.
The reason the bronze tree always wanted to absorb and store energy from others was its fear of not being able to cultivate like humans, and its sense of crisis was very strong.
Even before meeting Chen Yang, it dared not reveal that it possessed sentience.
It was only after Chen Yang entered the bronze tree's body last time and saw Chen Yang clearly that the bronze tree understood that Chen Yang was different from the people it had encountered before.
Those people were bloodthirsty. Although Chen Yang's body also contained formed killing intent, Chen Yang was fundamentally different from those people.
Chen Yang's three special inner energies, without a pure heart, would be repelled by the power itself even if forcibly absorbed.
"Chen Yang, do you want me to help you shape some martial artists?"
When the bronze tree called out Chen Yang's name, Chen Yang jumped out of his excited thoughts.
Chen Yang didn't remember telling the other party his name. How did this bronze tree know it?
Sensing Chen Yang's fluctuating aura, the bronze tree seemed to guess Chen Yang's thoughts and said, "You have many secrets, but no matter what secrets they are, as long as I have come into contact with them, I can sense some of them. Knowing your name is nothing."
"And I, although I am just a tree, I hope you treat me as a martial artist. I can give you what you want, and I also have my conditions."
As soon as he said this, Chen Yang's face immediately broke into a smile.
Chen Yang knew that he had truly underestimated the bronze tree. Chen Yang had thought the bronze tree was just a divine object that had gained sentience, but now it seemed that this guy was much more than just sentient.
The bronze tree's intelligence was a fusion of the memories of the martial artists it had absorbed, making it more "cunning" than ordinary people.
"Since you want me to treat you as a martial artist, then we have to settle the accounts. I am protecting you in this place, and no one can threaten you. Shouldn't this be charged?"
"Furthermore, the cost of rescuing you before, how should this be calculated?"
"Our Heavenly Physician Hall's actions are never without compensation. Considering our cooperation, I can give you a discount."
Chen Yang's voice was very slow, but to the bronze tree, it was completely nonsensical. This guy just wasn't going to offer any benefits!
The bronze tree fell silent, and after a long while, it said, "They all say that martial artists are insidious and cunning. You are much more ruthless than the martial artists in my memory."
"However, Chen Yang, don't forget, the power you want is inside me. Even if you forcefully merge me, you won't be able to obtain any of this power."
