Chapter 102: Chapter 101: The Clan’s Golden Finger—[Skill Tree]; Troop Surge Plan

’My plan can finally move on to the next step!’

Zhang Yi thought.

Seeing the two Divine Domain Cards his mom gave him, Zhang Yi figured she had probably gone out of her way to get them for him.

But Zhang Yi wasn’t one for sentimentality.

He would accept the two Divine Domain Cards; all he had to do was achieve better results and secure a spot in the University Alliance’s training camp during the upcoming final exams!

The number of Skill Cards in Zhang Yi’s possession had now reached seven.

This included two Two-Stars Skill Cards he had previously obtained from his mom in exchange for a Three-Stars Skill Card, as well as his current collection:

The Five-Stars Skill Card, [All-Purpose Weapon Expert],

The Four-Stars Skill Card, [Combat Intuition],

The Three-Stars Skill Card, [Continuous Arrow],

The Two-Stars Skill Card, [Precise Javelin],

And the Two-Stars Skill Card, [Slide Tackle].

When these seven long-awaited Skill Cards were finally gathered together,

sure enough, it triggered the sound Zhang Yi had been most eager to hear!

[DING!]

[Seven Skill Cards of different Star Levels detected in Host’s possession. Golden Finger refreshing. Three options are now available for the Host to choose from!]

[Option 1]: Two Five-Stars Specialization Skill Cards. The Host may select two Skill Cards to specialize in. All other Skill Cards will be consumed as materials to enhance the quality of the chosen two, allowing them to reach the Unrivaled Quality of a Five-Stars Skill Card!

[Option 2]: 20 Basic Skill Card Gift Packs. The tallest towers are built from the ground up. To truly master Skills, one needs a solid foundation. Smelt all Skill Cards into Basic Skill Cards to create the best possible foundation for the Clan!

[Option 3]: One special-quality Five-Stars Skill Card. All rivers flow into the sea; greatness comes from inclusivity. Smelt all Skill Cards to create a special-quality Five-Stars Skill Card: [Skill Tree]! Once the [Skill Tree] is loaded, every member of the Clan will be able to see their own skill mastery progress and understand the requirements for skill advancement!

Zhang Yi had never imagined

that this Skill Card fusion would have his Golden Finger forge something he’d never even thought of—a [Skill Tree]!

This was a massive, wonderful surprise!

Of course, Zhang Yi knew what a Skill Tree was.

They were all over the place in the novels from his past life!

According to the Golden Finger’s explanation, if Zhang Yi loaded this special-quality Five-Stars Skill Card, [Skill Tree],

then every single member of his Clan would be able to view an interface, just like how he could see his Divine Being and personal interfaces.

They would be able to see their own skill mastery progress

and know their exact mastery level for any given skill, displayed as a percentage!

Furthermore, the Skill Tree would clearly show them the exact conditions required for their Skills to advance!

’This is basically the same Golden Finger other protagonists had in the novels from my past life!’

’Does this mean the members of my Clan are all going to become protagonists in their own right?!’

The thought occurred to Zhang Yi.

Seeing the explanation for [Option 3] from his Golden Finger, Zhang Yi didn’t dare hesitate and immediately confirmed his choice,

afraid the fusion option would disappear if he waited too long!

Only after he confirmed [Option 3],

and a brand-new, special-quality Five-Stars Skill Card materialized before him, did Zhang Yi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Holding the Skill Card, Zhang Yi thought, ’My Divine Realm now has abundant supplies, plenty of food, and enough Weapons!’

’Now that I’ve solved the Clan’s lack of Skill Cards,

the only thing limiting my Divine Realm’s potential is the number of Clan members!’

’I don’t know which continent or plane the final exam will take place on, but if I want to get a good score, I’ll definitely need a large number of troops!’

With the creation of the special-quality Five-Stars Skill Card, [Skill Tree],

Zhang Yi wasn’t lacking anything except for the number of Clan members!

His mom had probably realized this, which was why she had slipped him that Four-Stars [Racial Reproduction Card *1000].

However, when it came to the number of Clan members, Zhang Yi had another plan!

The Wood Elves had already brought back their exclusive Elf Ancient Tree, the [Celestial Rong Seedling].

After the sacrificial ritual, the Wood Elves had planted the [Celestial Rong Seedling] in the southern part of the Dawn Forest, nurturing it in the area where Magic Ore was once mined.

That spot had the highest Magic Concentration in the entire Dawn Forest.

For this reason, Elf Queen An Nobel had also instructed the Elves and Mountain Dwarves to search for a new Magic Ore Vein in the vicinity.

She also took the opportunity

to have them survey all nearby mineral and magic resources in the areas where the three clans currently lived.

As for Zhang Yi, all he needed to do before the final exams—sometime within the next two-plus years of Divine Realm time—was find an opportunity to bestow two drops of Holy Blood in the name of the great God of Nature.

As the Lord of the Divine Realm, what could be simpler than bestowing a gift?

He would bestow two drops of Holy Blood—one for an Elf Ancient Tree of each attribute.

This would awaken the Spiritual Intelligence of the Fire Attribute Elf Ancient Tree and enhance the Spiritual Intelligence of the Wood Attribute one.

Then, the great God of Nature would use his newly acquired Divine Exclusive Talent: Resonance of All Things!

He would communicate with the two Elf Ancient Trees of different attributes and have them absorb the Magic Power in the Divine Realm without restraint.

The Wood Attribute Elf Ancient Tree, the [Celestial Rong Seedling], was growing atop the largest Magic Ore Vein in the Dawn Forest.

The Fire Elf’s seedling, the sprout of the [Sun Ancient Tree], lived downstream from the Magic Fountain.

With such uniquely advantageous environments,

coupled with Zhang Yi’s command,

as long as the two Elf Ancient Trees exercised some restraint

and absorbed Magic Power like crazy without destroying the original terrain,

it would take less than a year

for these two fledgling Elf Ancient Trees to reach their adolescent stage.

Once in their adolescent stage, the Elf Ancient Trees could begin accumulating Magic Power and producing Little Elves!

Currently, the Magic Power in Zhang Yi Divine Realm had reached the level of a low-magic world.

This meant the *average* Magic Concentration throughout the entire realm had reached that level,

not that every location had.

In certain areas,

such as the Dawn Forest and the Magic Medicine Garden, the Magic Concentration was significantly higher than average.

And that was to say nothing of the concentration at the Magic Ore Vein itself!

In the interim, Zhang Yi would also be able to advance to a Third Transformation Demigod just before the finals, which would allow his Divine Realm’s Magic Concentration to increase once more.

With that, Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm could reach a Magic Concentration approaching that of a Middle Demon World. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Paired with the Elf Ancient Trees just entering their adolescent stage, it would be more than enough!

And even if it wasn’t,

with a command from Zhang Yi,

the Dwarves and Elves could find other Magic Ore Veins, mine the Magic Ore,

and transport it all to the base of the Elf Ancient Trees for them to absorb.

That would be enough to artificially create the magic levels of a Middle Demon World!

According to Zhang Yi’s calculations,

by the middle of the second year in Divine Realm time, right before the final exams, the number of Clan members in his Divine Realm should reach over a thousand!

The final exams in the Main World would last a full month.

During that time, his Clan would certainly have to leave the Divine Realm.

Even though the content of the final exams at Golden City No.1 Middle School was kept strictly confidential every year,

some less critical information still managed to leak out.

For instance, the plane or continent where the exams would take place.

Under the school’s control, the flow of time in the exam location was often even slower than in one’s Divine Realm.

And as long as it was a relatively normal continent or Magic Plane, there were bound to be plenty of common races like Beastmen, Dwarves, and Elves.

Combined with Zhang Yi’s [Fanatical Faith] achievement, he could use war to fuel war.

He would have no shortage of Clan members!
