The wisps of spiritual energy within her body slowly propelled her supernatural abilities to operate. This time, the increase in spiritual energy was equivalent to three months of her cultivation, and it was even half again as much as the last time!

Lin Ruoxin was overjoyed. At this rate, even though she was currently a level 6 superpower, she could upgrade again within a year. In her previous life, it took her a full year and a half to upgrade from level 4 to level 5!

This time it's a level 6 to level 7 upgrade, which is on a completely different level from the mental strength and energy required before!

After the initial joy, she slowly closed her eyes to calm her thoughts. No one can be sure what will happen a year from now, so it's important to seize the moment and maintain a calm mindset.

Recalling the pain she had experienced before, Lin Ruo's brows furrowed involuntarily. Even though she cultivated her mental strength every day and was used to such pain, she still found it difficult to bear the prolonged pain this time.

But strength doesn't grow out of thin air; it's all earned through hard work and dedication. She can handle it!

As Lin Ruo walked out of the training room, A Liu quickly reached out her willow branch to her. Seeing the sweat still clinging to her body, A Liu rubbed the branch against Lin Ruo's face, as if feeling sorry for her.

She chuckled softly, "Ah Liu, your fruit is truly amazing. I never expected that a fruit that grew normally would be even more effective than the previous one."

"I was able to increase my spiritual power so much this time, all thanks to A-Liu." She smiled and stroked A-Liu's willow branches. She never expected that the willow tree she had brought home to guard her home was not only considerate and obedient, but also so powerful.

A-Liu's willow branch wrapped around Lin Ruo's waist. Lin Ruo did not resist and yielded to its strength. A-Liu "lifted" Lin Ruo into the air and spun her around several times before putting her down.

Lin Ruo thought of the idol drama she had been watching while eating these past few days. At that time, A Liu was obsessed with TV and seemed to have watched it with her.

A strange expression appeared on her face. Then she patted Ah Liu's willow branch and earnestly advised, "Watch less idol dramas in the future."

Ah Liu's willow branch tilted slightly in front of Lin Ruo, as if she didn't understand the meaning behind Lin Ruo's words.

"Don't always learn from them." Leaving those words behind, Lin Ruo smiled and turned to go upstairs, but in her mind she was thinking that she should show A Liu more martial arts dramas in the future, so that he could learn more killing moves, which would be much better than these love dramas.

After her mental strength was greatly enhanced, Lin Ruo stayed at home obediently for a few days, consolidating her strength while researching plant-based inhibitory powder.

Lin Ruo scratched his head in frustration as his strength had increased, but he still had no clue about the medicinal powder.

After making the powder according to the instructions in the book, she experimented with both ordinary plants in the space and mutated plants outside that had not yet fully mutated. The ordinary plants withered instantly upon contact with the powder, but the mutated plants showed no reaction whatsoever.

Not only that, every time she was making this medicine powder on the second floor, Ah Liu would scratch at her glass with a willow branch, trying to get into the laboratory.

At first, Lin Ruo was afraid it would be dangerous and strictly forbade it from coming in. But after a while, she found that A Liu seemed to really like the smell.

Lin Ruo was speechless. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was making an inducer powder instead of an inhibitor powder.

This left Lin Ruo quite frustrated, and her enthusiasm for researching the powder diminished considerably.

Since the powder was not successfully developed, should we visit the laboratory at the B City base? Maybe we can find some prescription or something similar.

"Sigh..." Lin Ruo stared at the jar of white powder on the table, looking worried.

Suddenly, her mental energy stirred slightly. She was startled at first, then her eyes lit up.

He suddenly stood up and rushed downstairs at lightning speed.

Her mental energy detected two more Level 2 crystal cores inside the fortress! Afu and Ashou have leveled up!

Downstairs, Ah Fu and Ah Shou were scratching their heads with their big paws. The crystal nuclei in their brains had grown larger and were a little itchy.

When Lin Ruo came downstairs, he saw this scene and couldn't help but find it a little funny. At this time, Afu and Ashou had completed their upgrade. Their size had not changed, but with Lin Ruo's keen mental power, he naturally noticed that their fur, teeth, and claws had all changed.

Their fur became thicker, and their teeth and claws became sharper, enhancing both their defense and attack capabilities.

Thinking of A-Liu's performance when she leveled up a month ago, she quickly took out the few remaining mutated elephant meat from her space. They needed to replenish their energy quickly after leveling up, and eating the meat of level 2 mutated beasts was a way to replenish their energy.

To be honest, she was very happy to see that Afu and Ashou could upgrade to level 2 mutated beasts so quickly. This meant that Afu and Ashou's aptitude had mutated to perfection and could rival that of top-tier beasts.

In the end, Afu and Ashou were just two dogs, and their abilities were far inferior to those of large beasts. Lin Ruo helped them mutate once before the apocalypse, just to narrow the gap to the extreme. Now they have finally caught up.

Unlike plants, which can absorb an unlimited amount of energy from flesh and blood without any restriction on food intake, mutated animals have stomachs and their daily food intake is limited.

Therefore, mutated plants grow faster than mutated animals, which is why A-Liu reached level 2 earlier than A-Fu and A-Shou.

The gap between them will only widen in the future, because Lin Ruo will not restrict A Liu's food intake, and A Liu will only eat more and more than them.

However, only a few mutated plants can find a master like Lin Ruo, like A Liu. Many mutated plants cannot leave the soil and can only passively wait for prey to approach. That is why the growth rate of mutated plants outside can catch up with that of mutated animals.

This shows that the world is still relatively fair; every species has its advantages and disadvantages.
