Ethan was stunned.
So it really was a blessing in disguise.
He never imagined that nature had such a profound history. His small act of practicing a lecture had actually brought him such an enormous reward. What kind of luck was this?
Luck…
Wait.
Was the reason I received Nature's Blessing because my Luck attribute was upgraded?
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became.
Just then, another wave of system notifications appeared.
[User has greatly benefited from Nature's Blessing]
[Nature's Blessing has unlocked Nature Energy]
[User can now use both Inner Energy and Nature Energy]
[Nature Energy: An extremely pure Yang energy. When activated, it can cleanse all impurities from a target, removing even minuscule traces.]
[Nature's Reward: Heaven's Equality Body]
[Heaven's Equality Body: If Heaven possessed a physical body, it would be called the Heaven's Equality Body. No physique can surpass it.]
[Effect: User gains affinity with all ten natural elements]
WHAAT?!
Ethan was completely dumbstruck.
Affinity with all ten natural elements?!
Such a thing actually existed?
He knew that most cultivators only possessed a single elemental affinity. Having two or three was already considered rare. Those with more than three were monstrous geniuses recorded only in legends.
But ten?
Throughout all known history, no one had ever possessed affinity with all ten natural elements—especially after nature began distancing itself from humans and beasts.
And yet, the system wasn't finished.
Another torrent of notifications flooded his vision.
[Integration of Nature Energy completed]
[Congratulations! User has fully obtained Nature Energy]
[System Rewards:
Attribute Points +200
Skill Points +200
Golden Points +200
Talent Pool: +2 Grades
System Currency +500,000

[Special Rewards:

Ethan nearly died from excitement.
For a moment, his mind went completely blank. But one thing was certain—Nature Energy would play a crucial role in his future cultivation path.
If even the system treated Nature Energy with such importance, then it was undoubtedly something extraordinary. The sheer generosity of the rewards confirmed that.
[Discovered Skill Points in the attribute panel. Would the user like to add them to the credit list?]
"No!" Ethan immediately declined.
He already had a plan to slowly clear his credit using Skill Points earned through his side professions. That was precisely why he intended to open a clinic in Phoenix Feather City.
He even had the Teacher profession.
Although he felt slightly cheated that the shameless trees and plants benefited from his lectures without giving him Skill or Attribute Points, the Nature Energy more than compensated for everything. He held no grudges.
Excitedly, he opened his attribute panel.

First of all, his talent pool had undergone a massive upgrade.
General Grade Spiritual Roots.
King Grade Physique.
King Grade Spirit.
His thoughts felt sharper, clearer, faster. The changes were unmistakable.
Then there were the cultivation techniques.
A sword art.
Two combat skills—one of them a movement technique.
Ethan knew how precious movement techniques were. They allowed explosive mobility while consuming minimal Inner Energy.
The Disguise Mask was another priceless treasure. Though not combat-oriented, it allowed him to change his appearance and conceal his identity—perfect for survival.
But the greatest gain of all was his new physique.
Heaven's Equality Body.
With compatibility to all ten natural elements, he was no longer restricted by elemental conflicts like Jenny. He could cultivate any technique.
That alone made him ecstatic.
He also gained 200 Skill Points, Attribute Points, and Golden Points each. Even though he could use them immediately, he chose restraint. The future was uncertain, and flexibility mattered.
Finally, his gaze fell on the special rewards.
He examined the first one carefully.
[Alpha and Omega Heavenly Sword Arts]
A sword is the first weapon in human history.
It embodies both offense and defense.
The Alpha and Omega Heavenly Sword Arts consist of nine stages.
Each stage surpasses the previous in difficulty.
If mastered, the user will become the strongest sword cultivator under heaven.
Ethan's heart raced.
What he lacked the most until now were cultivation techniques.
And now—
He finally had one.
A truly heaven-defying one.
And his path…
had officially become unstoppable.
