Once the applications of the refined source steel block and bone crystal have been understood, perhaps it might be worth trying the bone crystal on the Demon-Born Flower.

The Creation Formula, although precious, would be entirely worth it if it can help the team members make rapid progress at the cost of just one rune stone.

Absorbing the energy from the rune stone might cause the Demon-Born Flower to undergo unexpected mutations.

Li Ang sought Dorothy's opinion: "I think this is a necessary step, but if you're not ready, we can try in the future. First, let's fully enhance the Power of Dragon."

"Well, if I accept..."

The half-elf cautiously made a gesture with her index finger and thumb pinched together: "Could there be a little reward?"

Considering the immense energy contained within the Creation Formula, Li Ang pondered for a moment and thought it might be okay to let her be a bit willful.

However, perhaps due to his hesitation, Dorothy followed up: "Is it dangerous? If I look forward to it a bit, maybe I can resist."

Li Ang nodded at her.

"Alright!"

Dorothy raised her arm and jumped slightly, her excitement palpable.

Noticing certain glances, she glanced sideways with a sly smile, her eyes slightly sparkling.

"If you're interested, maybe a reward in advance would be fine."

Li Ang took a half-step back: "Then, prepare yourself. You must suppress the Demon-Born Flower with all your heart."

Dorothy pouted, knowing he was serious, and gradually became solemn.

Li Ang extended the rune stone forward, with the lady biting her lip, mentally preparing herself beforehand.

After several deep breaths, she solemnly nodded.

Once the suppression on the Demon-Born Flower was released, the flower vine quickly wrapped around the rune stone, the sharp petals making a crisp sound on the stone surface, while the shattered light was greedily consumed by the flower pistil in an instant.

Immediately, the flower vine that devoured the Creation Formula underwent a transformation.

They became tougher and thicker, bulging under the skin, with some sharp barbs growing out, their tips infused with magic, indicating a structure capable of devouring magic power.

Though small, the system indicated the Creation Formula represented only 3% of the rune stone, but once converted to visually perceptible energy, it seemed limitless. When the flower vine almost wrapped around Li Ang's arm, he let go of the rune stone and withdrew, allowing the vines to entangle and completely envelop the rune stone.

The rainbow colors swiftly flowed and changed in Dorothy's eyes, with Li Ang even catching a glimpse of the rune inside—either the speed was too fast, or he was dazzled from just having seen the rune stone.

From the roots of her hair on her head, her hair also began to transform.

Color, different this time, flowed like a waterfall down her hair, though currently light in shade, making it difficult to discern details.

About ten minutes later, the divine light escaping through the cracks in the flower vine disappeared.

The Demon-Born Flower grew wantonly inside the room, no longer merely described as blooming—truly flourishing now.

Branches twined with branches, flowers covered flowers, the Demon-Born Flower released by Dorothy was several times more than before.

Li Ang opened the panel to observe the flower vines.

Dorothy blinked lightly, her pupils and eyelashes now covered in glass-like colors, making her exquisite face resemble a crystal-crafted mannequin.

The changes in her expression indicated she was feeling the power of the new Demon-Born Flower, and with every glance and every smile she made, the flower vine would rapidly transform far beyond its previous capacity.

Previously, her methods of using the Demon-Born Flower were simple: either as flower wings for attack or standing as a defensive wall, or connecting to solid objects in the distance and using them to pull herself for movement, and so on.

But now, these lush flower vines entwined with each other like a unique aggregated creature, spreading, crawling, flowing...

Yet, since they were encased in beautiful and pure flowers, the movement of the flower vine did not seem sinister, but rather made the half-elf appear to be a forest fairy.

Furthermore, her hair had completely changed, far from the pale gold and occasional strands of crimson unique to her bloodline. Now, the crimson seemed to dissolve into the overall white of her hair, merging with the azure, tender green, and pale purple that floated inside as part of the colorful halo of her glassy long hair.

This transformation rendered her even more inhumanly beautiful.

Dorothy gazed shyly at Li Ang.

"It's a bit embarrassing to be seen this way."

"You get embarrassed?"

"What do you mean? I'm a girl too."

Well, the person is still the same.

Li Ang was momentarily freed from being captivated by her beauty, and refocused on the surrounding flower vines.

"Try it, can you make them use special abilities? Are you able to control them?"

Dorothy smiled mysteriously: "I feel just like these flowers now, as if I've been bathed in dew, and I'm feeling great."

She raised an arm, causing several nearby flower vines to move along with it. They didn't go through the usual slow entangling process but instead almost instantly formed a massive sharp claw.

In comparison to things seen before, this was like a flower vine dragon claw, appearing like a piece of garden art when still. But Li Ang knew it might indeed have the power of a Dragon Species, possibly even stronger, because it could break through magic and any energy.

"It seems it's possible to become a complete dragon, too."

Dorothy felt the connection with her new Demon-Born Flower: "It's too small here to fully transform."

With a thought, she rapidly fashioned the flower vine behind her into expansive flower wings.

This new set of wings was unlike the previous flower vine wings; before, they were merely similar, but this pair, with petals layered like the rich plumage of a giant bird, was completely different.

With the entwining strength of these flower vines, Li Ang had no doubt she could fly.

"I kind of envy this pace of power enhancement."

Li Ang said: "Ordinary Tier 6 would not be your match now, and most of the time, I won't need to worry about your safety anymore."

He sighed inwardly.

The group may each have their quirks, but their development has been genuinely impressive and rapid.

The flower vines carried Dorothy right up to Li Ang's side, and the young girl instantly hugged him.

"This is all because you make efforts for me. No matter how beautiful these flowers are, they blossom around you, with the harmful thorns aimed at others, while offering only beauty to you."

She released him, her eyes glinting, hinting at fulfilling a previous promise.
