Ten minutes later, a thin layer of sweat covered Yin Yusheng’s forehead and back. Despite his efforts, nothing formed on his fingertips aside from a faint green glow.
Feeling drained, he stopped and sighed, "Looks like my wood-type ability is different from yours."
Zhou Huajian patted his shoulder reassuringly and said, "You just awakened your ability. Maybe once you have fully recovered, you will be able to create a vine too."
Although doubtful, Yin Yusheng nodded and didn’t respond.
Sensing his brother’s frustration, Zhou Huajian chose not to push him further, giving him space to think about his ability more.
Unbeknownst to them, the small green energy hidden in Zhou Huajian’s brain suddenly trembled with excitement. Using his meridian as a channel, the green energy traveled to his fingertip.
At that precise moment when Zhou Huajian’s fingers brushed against Yin Yusheng’s arm, the green energy seized the opportunity to quietly enter Yin Yusheng’s body. The amount of energy was so small that neither of them noticed any immediate changes.
Once inside Yin Yusheng’s body, the green energy merged with the dark green energy located in his brain. In the next instant, it transformed into the shape of a tiny sprout.
As this transformation occurred, Yin Yusheng suddenly felt his mind clear up. The irritation and exhaustion disappeared instantly, as if he had taken a refreshing shower or drank a calming tonic.
He glanced at his wrist and noticed a faint tattoo in the shape of a sunflower. As he stared at it, a sprout appeared on his palm.
"Hm? What is this?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Huajian turned and saw the sprout. A smile formed on his face as he said, "Maybe this is your ability?"
Feeling curious, Yin Yusheng poked the sprout. The moment his fingertip touched it, two green leaves unfurled and wrapped around his finger. When they uncurled, the small wound on his fingertip had disappeared.
Both of them stared in stunned silence. It took him a moment before he asked, "Huajian, did you see that?"
Zhou Huajian nodded and replied, "I saw it."
A moment later, Zhou Huajian said with joy evident in his voice, "Yusheng, it looks like your wood-type ability is for healing. Even though we already have Sister Jiang, having another healer is a huge blessing for our team."
Hearing the excitement in his voice, the others couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on?"
"Did Brother Yusheng figure out how to use his ability?" Xiao Qi chimed in.
Zhou Huajian nodded and quickly explained what had happened.
When the team learned they had gained another healer, they erupted in cheers. They all knew how scarce medicine had become. A second healer meant another safeguard for their survival.
Once they confirmed the sprout’s healing function, they immediately reported the news to Jin Xuyan.
