58: Chapter 58 Growth Array

“Buzz!”

As Yang Hao used his Spiritual Power to purify the wood element power and channeled it into the element storage module of the Growth Formation, he sent out a mental command.

“Buzz!”

One green line after another lit up beneath the earth and spread out. A humming sound echoed as a faint green light covered the wheat field.

Only then did Yang Hao glance toward the villagers. In that instant, the crowd fell silent.

His Spiritual Power, released without any restraint, transmitted through his gaze. Everyone's brain was instantly and forcibly blanked out.

In a heartbeat, there was dead silence. The few villagers who had been gossiping slumped to the ground as if the sky were falling.

No matter how shy Yang Hao was, his spirit was nearly at the Transcendent standard.

No matter how timid he acted, he could easily slaughter these twenty people to the last man.

This was a gap of absolute suppression.

Even a gentle tiger is still a tiger.

A foul odor emanated from beneath the gossiping villagers. They stood up shakily and immediately knelt on the ground.

“My Lord, My Lord, I won't do it again. I won't say another word.”

“Please, My Lord, spare us.”

Several people wept bitterly. Yang Hao didn't give them a second glance, only turning his head to look at Kaven and speaking.

“Kaven, handle it yourself.”

At this moment, Kaven, who had some doubts in his heart, felt completely reassured. However, he was also astonished by the power Yang Hao displayed.

To subdue twenty capable men with a single glance!

He couldn't help but imagine what the ten skilled hunters he had sent away would eventually become.

Those were ten experts he had sent out despite the pressure from the village and even the pressure from another powerful outsider.

If they could all reach this level, then anything would be worth it!

Even if they didn't return, their mere existence was worth it!

“Yes, My Lord!”

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Without any hesitation, Kaven spoke to Yang Hao with surprise and respect.

He was equally respectful toward every person sent from Quiet Lake and every piece of information transmitted from there.

For instance, when Yang Hao sent word to prepare ten acres of land and some skilled farmers, he didn't hesitate to pick the ten acres that best met the criteria and the twenty most skilled farmers.

Even though a few of them clearly stood on Drut's side, it was the same.

Regardless, they were at the top in terms of ability, and he also had the power to drive them to complete everything Yang Hao assigned.

At this moment, facts proved that his consistent attitude was without issue.

Attaching himself completely to the group at the shores of Quiet Lake, without reservation or hesitation, was definitely the most correct decision he had ever made.

However, just as he thought that was all, he suddenly heard Yang Hao continue.

“What are you still standing there for?”

“Get to it! How long are you going to wait?”

As Yang Hao's voice fell, Kaven was stunned for a moment. He then followed Yang Hao's gesture and turned to look at the ten acres of wheat field, his eyes widening in the next instant.

He saw the wheat seedlings in those ten acres growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Simultaneously, the weeds among them also began to grow and spread rapidly.

“I don't need to teach you how to weed, do I? Remember what I told you before: the fertilizer content for each acre is different. You must strictly follow my instructions and not change anything without permission.”

At this moment, Kaven could no longer listen carefully to Yang Hao's words. It was like a voice from the heavens, echoing continuously in his ears.

His eyes were fixed only on the wheat field where the seedlings were constantly shooting up; his hands shook and his lips trembled, oblivious to everything else.

The twenty villagers nearby had an even greater reaction when they saw this scene.

Everyone's eyes were wide, and some even fell to their knees, their lips kissing the earth.

“This... what is happening?”

“Why is it growing so fast?”

“Is this still wheat?”

“The Gods protect us, the Gods protect us.”

“This is an envoy of the Gods.”

Suddenly, a villager turned and knelt toward Yang Hao, kowtowing repeatedly.

“The Divine Envoy protects us, the Divine Envoy protects us!”

In an instant, as if inspired, the others knelt one after another.

But in the next moment, Kaven's words woke them from their dream.

“What are you still dazed for? Didn't you hear what the Lord said?”

“Weed!”

“Use all your skills! Weed according to the Lord's instructions, then fertilize!”

Before his voice could fade, the twenty villagers didn't hesitate. They immediately grabbed their tools and swarmed into the wheat field.

At this moment, no one was lazy, and no one had stray thoughts. Everyone moved at their fastest speed, busily working in the wheat field.

In this moment, Kaven, Drut—all of them were pushed to the back of their minds; there was no difference.

Yang Hao's expression didn't change at all, but what no one knew was that his toes were already curled tightly against the ground in embarrassment.

Nevertheless, he remained calm and took out a wild fruit to put in his mouth.

“Crunch!”

The sour and astringent taste exploded in his mouth, easing Yang Hao's mind slightly as he spoke faintly.

“According to the initial assignment, go to the edge of the fields you are responsible for and record the growth status of the wheat and weeds.”

“Yes.”

Lu Zheng and Yang Chong nodded together and immediately walked to the edge of their respective wheat fields. Their spirits expanded, covering the entire wheat field, recording every change that occurred every second.

Yang Hao oversaw the whole situation, monitoring the operation of each Growth Formation and the growth of the wheat under different fertilizer conditions.

Time flies when one is busy. The sun in the sky slowly set. All the villagers, including Kaven, were panting and exhausted from working by the wheat fields.

They hadn't stopped for a moment all day—weeding, top-dressing, loosening the soil, and so on; there wasn't a single break throughout the process.

Yang Hao, Lu Zheng, and Yang Chong also felt a wave of fatigue washing over them.

They hadn't stopped either. Just drawing wood element to maintain the operation of the ten Growth Formations had cost them a considerable amount of energy, not to mention the data collection and real-time processing during the period.

However, under their busy efforts, the results were exceptionally remarkable.

The growth period of spring wheat, which was originally about a hundred days, was now entirely condensed into a single day.

The wheat that was still seedlings this morning had now fully matured.

Matured in one day!

This was something no one dared to imagine, not even Yang Hao.

Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

It was truly like a dream.

But at this moment, everyone was just gasping for breath. No one stepped forward to harvest. Only Yang Hao walked up and grabbed an ear of wheat.

It was empty.

This situation didn't catch him by surprise; his Spiritual Power had discovered it long ago, and the twenty experienced farming villagers had also discovered it long ago.

Yang Hao swept his Spiritual Power across. Out of the full ten acres of field, there was almost no yield, and the farmland itself was faintly turning dry and pale.
