The last Saint King of the Mercenary Empire was named Jon, a formidable member of the "Willow Race," a subset of the "tree spirit" lineage.
He looked just like a tree-man, with humanoid limbs, a torso, and a head—complete with eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. However, his skin was weathered tree bark, and his hair was willow branches…
…the most bizarre race from the Otherworld that Lu Xun had ever seen.
Jon's magic essence type was "Wood Magic," though he actually followed the path of Magic Body Dual Cultivation.
His battle display just now was magnificent and cool, as his body transformed into a giant willow tree tens of meters high, lush and green.
After the willow branches were chopped down, they could regenerate into one new willow tree after another, turning the sea surface into a dense forest, like sowing beans to create soldiers.
This was a Racial Divine Technique called "Planting Willow for Shade."
