Chapter 124 Amazing Effects

Chapter 124: Chapter 123: Amazing Effects

After some research, Han Ning pressed down on the petiole of the melon plant.

A deep blue, high-pressure water column—thick as an arm and condensed almost into a physical substance—shot out from the top of the fruit. Its speed was so fast that it only left a glaring blue afterimage on the retina.

BANG!

Twenty meters away, the hood of a car looked as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

Accompanied by the muffled sound of a heavy object crashing down, the powerful impact lifted the entire hood, twisting and deforming it. Puddles of water mixed with engine oil and various shattered parts sprayed out from the rupture, throwing up a large mist of water. The wreckage of the car shook violently before crashing into the standing water with a loud clatter.

Its terrifying destructive power was no less than that of a heavy sniper rifle.

"Let’s see where your limit lies." Han Ning continued to manipulate his vines, pressing down a few more times.

GURGLE~

The light on the melon fruit flickered rapidly.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Three slightly thinner blue Water Arrows shot out from the fruit in quick succession, with less than half a second between each blast.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The first strike accurately hit the center of a concrete pillar, blasting out a basin-sized depression and sending crushed stone flying. The second hit right next to it, carving out another massive chunk. The third followed closely behind, piercing straight through a relatively thin area at the edge.

A large amount of dust and gravel sprinkled down from the concrete pillar.

After continuously firing ten devastating Water Arrows, the melon plant noticeably weakened. Its leaves drooped, and the light from its fruit dimmed as if it had exhausted all its Energy.

"Looks like it’s overdrawn." Han Ning stepped forward and carefully observed the plant’s condition. A soft glow of Natural Blessing lit up his fingertips, and he gently covered the plant with it.

"It has just started bearing fruit. Having this kind of destructive power is already quite astonishing," Professor Ye sighed in amazement. "If it grows a bit more, its power will be even greater."

Han Ning entirely agreed.

He estimated that the power of each Water Arrow from the small melon was close to the full-strength blow of an Elite Black Snake Monster, equivalent to the standard of a Level 4-5 Awakened.

"I’ll just call you the Water Jet Melon." Han Ning patted its fruit. Afterward, he and Professor Ye collected plenty of seeds from the Water Arrows the Water Jet Melon had spat out, placing them into a portable container.

Having tested the newly mutated melon, the two returned to the lab to continue observing the changes in the remaining plants.

When his gaze swept over the leftmost melon plant, Han Ning’s expression changed.

He remembered that when he left earlier, this plant was only slightly larger than the others. But now, a plump, perfectly round fruit—several sizes larger than a normal melon—was quietly hanging on the branch.

"Huh? This one..." Han Ning’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately went over to check.

He carefully extended a finger and lightly touched the fat fruit. The texture was bouncy, like pressing down on a piece of jello. A very faint halo also seemed to linger on the surface of the fruit.

"Is it another new mutant?" Professor Ye’s eyes lit up.

"Let’s try the same method as before."

Han Ning took the melon plant to an empty area. In front of it, he stacked up several office desks. Then, following the previous method, he touched the Fat Melon.

BUZZ~

Han Ning pressed against the bottom of the Fat Melon’s fruit.

The plant trembled slightly. Light swirled across the surface of the fruit, as if it were accumulating something. Soon, a pale blue liquid began to seep out from its surface.

Unlike the sharp, aggressive nature of the Water Arrows, this liquid appeared peaceful and gentle.

"Could there be something unusual about this liquid?" Han Ning sensed the refreshing pool of liquid. He dabbed a little and rubbed it gently between his fingertips.

"Hm?!"

Current Spiritual Power: 57/100

On his interface, the value "57" became blurry. Han Ning proceeded to dab a bit more liquid. The number "57" blurred further.

At the same time, a cool, refreshing power flowed into his palm. After a while, the Spiritual Power value finally jumped from 57 to 58.

"So it has a Spiritual Power recovery effect!" Han Ning realized. "It seems this is a Support-type melon."

Following this, Han Ning and Professor Ye repeatedly tested the abilities of this Fat Melon. They discovered that apart from recovering an Awakened’s Energy, the liquid it sprayed could also accelerate wound healing, making it incredibly useful.

Han Ning named this Fat Melon the Healing Melon.
