A golden line of text flashed quietly before Fang Yuan's eyes.
[ Talent Root Enhancement Shard is now ready to be used. ]
His eyes lit up the moment he saw the message.
Apparently, if he gathered enough of these shards, his talent root could probably advance to the next level.
At least, that was what he guessed from the name, since the system itself offered no explanation.
Elder Hao, standing nearby, noticed the sudden change in Fang Yuan's expression.
Unable to see the system screen, he naturally misunderstood the cause.
His gaze followed Fang Yuan's line of sight and landed squarely on his own disciple.
A cold snort escaped him.
"Elder Zhao," Elder Hao said with open disdain, "rein in your disciple. I will not have every toad lusting after swan meat."
His eyes flicked toward Fang Yuan, sharp and cutting.
"Control him."
Zhao Lusi's smile vanished instantly.
She rounded on him, eyes blazing.
