# Chapter 10 Gains and Upgrades
'This power is great i think I will call it Nature Transformation. It scales with the amount of plants i have archived. Right now I can manipulate mortal grade plants in a 10 mile radius. Super grade plants are more difficult to control but still possible if I archived them. I really need to get more information about the super realm i feel like there is more to it.
Luckily if I'm careful can even merge myself with nature allowing for greater hiding and terrain transversal. Right now I have around 298,000 mortal grade plants archived and with each one it just gets easier and easier. Now I just need to look at a mortal grade plant to know it's ins and outs.' Oak thought as he looked toward the ground as a hole opened up bring up a white crystal he immediately absorbed it into his immortal root. Where there was a cluster of them weighing about 50 pounds in total.
'To think that there was so many underground. I was just passively looking too. If I purely focused on them I could gather tons of these crystals by the month in fact I could probably gather even more.
But it makes you think why are these here? I'm sure a cultivator could find these crystals with a bit of effort after all I'm sure there organization would say no to this sort of thing.
Oh well it doesn't matter right now and I have other things to do. Like turn those filthy black ringed monkeys into a bunch of skeletons.' As okay thought this his lips widened into a cold and brutal smile as he walked over to his home. He of course came prepared with many different poisons he made. Each more brutal then the last. Those monkeys weren't stronger than those Tigers in his opinion.
With his Nature Transformation active he made his way there. Thanks to his plant archive efforts he has managed to figure out that the more plants he has the better the effects and efficiency. While figuring out the perfect ratio to always keep it active. While having minimal Qi loss.
His body glided through the forest like a ghost he made no sound as his Nature Transformation concealed his very presence through eliminating sound of branches or tree breaking. Resonated his breathing with the forest, his body was seamed to just blend in with the environment, and much more fascinating effects.
Within a few hours he crossed around a hundred miles while archiving any other plant he saw. While they don't provide much in terms of strength enchantment he feels very good when a new plant is archived.
He stopped a distance from his old home and paused at the scene. There was many Unawakened monkeys around 67 all he could kill in a few minutes if he wanted too. Then there was the two variant monkeys they were indeed family as husband and wife. They also seemed to have two children with an elemental nature. The mom was fire element while the dad was earth. None of the monkeys there noticed him.
'Variant super soldiers huh.. this should be fine those Tigers from earlier while being a super commander where the weakest of the rank. But I will need to observe for a few more days to make sure there isn't any more of those little bastards.
I refuse to be one of the major plot points of one of these bastards life. For all I know one of them could be the next Sun Wukong.'
For the next few days Oak stalked them while also setting up the area to make sure none of these little monkeys live. Luckily it was a good call as he noticed a third stone element little monkey jump by. It even brushed past Oak but didn't notice him. With a sneer he waited until night and poisoned there water supply with heavy tranquilizer he made.
This of course will slowly kill them because of how potent it was but not before he had his fun. He bluntly walked into the area not even bothering to conceal them. All the monkeys woke up but couldn't move and couldn't even speak as a tree root seemed to gag them.
Oak noticed one that was quite old and looked at him in absolute fear.
'So one did survive?' He brilliantly smiled at that monkey. He then strode in that cave and had a cold smile. The next thing that happen was him grabbing children inside while severely injuring both parents before dragging them out. Then he slowly and brutally ripped apart all the Unawakened monkeys leaving the old one for last.
Hatred was spiting from the awakened monkeys eyes as they still couldn't scream with that tree root in there months. In one swift motion he smashed all three children into a puddle of blood. Spraying there blood and insides everywhere including on there parents. Then he slowly picked apart the parents while testing drugs medicines and the like on them for the while night. In the end none of the monkeys that drove Oak from his home and tried to kill lived.
'Such potent acid not even leaving bones behind. What was the Geneva convection again? They had some interesting ideas to test out.' While thinking he had the thought to go to a random village to sell some stuff. But tossed that thought away as all villages still go by tribe rules and he didn't want anything to do with that.
With that thought he walked out of the cave after checking to see if they had anything valuable which they didn't. To resume his plant archiving objective.
A month later he was deep in a cave Oak with narrowed eyes stared at a violet colored bear. It growled back as it went into a attacking stance. Behind the bear was a gold apple with red strips on it. Oak recognized it as the Golden Flame Stripped apple. This was a super fruit that could enhance a super soldiers body by at least 5 times.
Currently Oak could punch with 1000 pounds of force in his Nature Transformation state. With this fruit not only could this increase his physical power but also increase the range at which he could influence plants and how long and how heavily he could modify the plants as well.
