Chapter 200 New Evolutionary Path, Wind Element

Lu Yu was just about to walk towards the Lightning-Strike Tree when Cao Long shouted.

“Don’t go over there. It’s just a withered tree and nothing else.”

In his panic, he did not have time to think. He just told Lu Yu not to go near it.

Lu Yu, naturally, did not heed his advice. Cao Long must have thought he did not know what that withered tree was and persuaded Lu Yu not to go over.

“I’m going over to take a look at a withered tree. What’s wrong with that?”

Cao Long quickly explained, “That was originally a lovely tree. After it was struck by lightning, it was burnt to such a state. Seeing as it’s easy to be struck by lightning there, you’d better not go over. What if something happens?”

Hearing his excuse, Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh. This guy was desperate to save his Wind Thunder Spirit Peach.

“Is that so? Is it just a simple lightning strike?”

Cao Long stammered, “Yeah, what else could it be? Why would I lie to you? Just don’t go near that place as it’s really easy to be struck there.”

He once again intimidated Lu Yu.

The other Pharmaceutical Club members also persuaded Lu Yu.

“Brother, don’t go over there. There’s really nothing there. What’s there to see about a withered tree?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Don’t bother about that tree. Why don’t you go and count how many spiritual herbs we’ve harvested?”

“It’s meaningless to look at that thing. There’s just no need!”

They were getting a little too anxious and impatient. It just made him want to laugh.

Yun Zirou, Su Qing, and the other Featherwing Club members saw their reactions and felt something fishy about this.

Lu Yu was getting impatient with their continuous persuasion.

“You guys can stop your nonsense. That is a Thousand-year Lightning-Strike Tree with a nine-year-old Wind Thunder Spirit Peach on it. How can I leave such a precious thing to you guys!”

As he said that, Lu Yu walked toward the Lightning-Strike Tree.

Cao Long frowned when he heard this. He couldn’t understand how Lu Yu recognized the Lightning-Strike Tree.

The most important thing was that Lu Yu could see that there was a fruit on the tree. Not only that, he even recognized that the fruit was a Wind Thunder Spirit Peach!

This was just as if he had clairvoyance!

“This… how is this possible?”

Cao Long muttered with a depressed look. He still could not believe Lu Yu could recognize the tree and the Wind Thunder Spirit Peach from so far away.

He was not the only one. The other members of his club were also very surprised.

Cao Long watched as Lu Yu walked to the side of the Lightning-Strike Tree and reached out to pick the peach. Instantly, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

He had put in a lot of effort just to wait for the peach to ripen!

After all, it’s a fruit that ripens once every nine years!

Nine years ago, he hadn’t even arrived at this university yet. After so many years, he finally waited for the fruit to ripen.

However, Lu Yu had arrived. The peach he had been waiting for so long had now become someone else’s.

He was so enraged that he almost vomited blood. This was something really difficult for him to accept…

At that moment, Lu Yu stood in front of the Lightning-Strike Tree.

This Thousand-year Lightning-Strike Tree had gone through the accumulation of time. The entire trunk was as black as ink, with branches extending outward with no signs of life.

However, the peach hanging on one of the tree branches seemed to be full of vitality compared to this lifeless tree.

Lu Yu reached out his hand and gently picked the peach. The moment he took the peach, energy overflowed in all directions, with a lovely fragrance assailing his nostrils.

Lu Yu did not know what kind of changes this fruit, which contained powerful elemental energy, could bring after eating it.

However, he now decided to eat the peach to feel the changes in his body.

He lifted the peach and took a big bite.

After just one bite, a sweet aroma exploded in his mouth and filled Lu Yu’s taste buds.

The terrifying energy contained in the peach leaked out and rushed into Lu Yu’s body.

Then, Lu Yu took a second bite and a third bite. He ate the entire peach quickly.

Burping, Lu Yu felt his stomach churning. The terrifying energy was rampaging everywhere, making Lu Yu uncomfortable.

He began to absorb this powerful energy, sitting cross-legged on the ground. He closed his eyes and began immersing himself in his body’s energy.

These were the wind and thunder elemental energies.

These two elements were both needed by Lu Yu.

Especially the thunder element, which was an element that Lu Yu didn’t have yet. It would be best if he could absorb it.

At that moment, a notification suddenly appeared before Lu Yu.

[ Evolutionary path detected: Gale Dragon Claw ]

[ Do you want to evolve? ]

Lu Yu opened his eyes suddenly and was shocked. He had no idea he’d be on another evolutionary path after eating a peach!

Gale Dragon Claw. From the name, it was the evolution route of the wind element and just so happened to correspond to the wind element in the peach.

Moreover, the evolution of the Gale Dragon Claw would be the Thunder Dragon Claw, which requires the thunder element.

This element was also included in this peach. It was simply perfect!

Lu Yu did not expect that the peach he found by accident could help him advance on the path of his evolution.

However, this peach was indeed a rare treasure, taking nine years to produce. The energy accumulated inside was sure to be something else.

“Yes!”

Lu Yu chose yes. The next moment, the surrounding air currents began to surge.

The surrounding air currents began to gather toward Lu Yu and onto his two claws.

At that moment, Lu Yu realized that his two claws had unexpectedly become smaller and longer.

Lu Yu raised his arms to take a closer look and realized that his arms were ridiculously light. Moreover, the movements of raising his arms were fast and smooth, as if there was no air resistance.

He was surprised. Was this the effect of the Gale Dragon Claw?

Although he had sacrificed strength, attack power, and defense power, his speed had received a startling increase.

Lu Yu halved the time needed to swing his claws!

He could produce a whistling sound each time he swung his claws, and the speed of his claws was so fast that they created afterimages. He could launch hundreds of attacks in a second, just like a violent storm!

Lu Yu was getting increasingly excited as he swung his Gale Dragon Claws.

He completed a whole new evolution and reduced his weak points further!

Lu Yu smiled. He stood up, raised his claws, and began to pound the air before him!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lu Yu’s arms turned into afterimages as he frantically clawed forward. This speed was so fast that it was impossible to track with the naked eye.

As he attacked, the surrounding air began to swirl, creating a gust of wind.

As the speed of Lu Yu’s claws increased, the surrounding air currents also became stronger.

Standing a hundred meters away, Yun Zirou and the others felt the wind surge around them.

“It was so calm just a moment ago. Why is there a sudden gust of wind?”

At this point, everyone looked in the direction of Lu Yu.
