"So, can the fruit of the Tree of Life be eaten before the age of sixteen? (Elvish)" Chu Shi asked.
"Before the age of sixteen, elven children cannot eat the fruit of the Tree of Life. If they eat it, it's equivalent to a magic poison. Hmm. Right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten to remind you that you can only eat the fruit of the Tree of Life after you're sixteen. Even though you're from another race, you should also be able to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life after sixteen! (Elvish)"
Then, Chu Shi translated the conversation to Su Han.
After hearing this, Su Han looked at the little elf in the distance who had eaten the fruit of the Tree of Life. That elven child was happily jumping around.
"A sixteen-year-old elf child? They look like six-year-old children from the outside. This must be related to elves being a long-lived race. I wonder how old the long-lived elves can get?"
After Su Han mumbled to himself, Chu Shi immediately asked the elf beside him who was packing the fruits.
"What is the general lifespan of your elven race? (Elvish)"
"Five hundred to a thousand years. If one's strength is great, even three thousand years. Of course, the most important thing is strength. The stronger one is, the longer the lifespan. (Elvish)"
Chu Shi translated again to Su Han.
"It can be like this? I wonder what those three-thousand-year-old elves would think of this world? Would they get tired of it? I'll have to ask them properly if I meet them in the future!"
At this moment, Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, Zi Han, and Zhou Xiaoyue, the four of them, had already chosen their fruits of the Tree of Life.
"Alright, let's take them back and eat them later!" Ye Fan said happily.
"Are the seven fruits of the Tree of Life you selected for yourselves? If you intend to eat them, do so here! If there's a magical outburst, we can help you heal nearby. (Elvish)"
"Magical outburst? It seems we really should eat a fruit of the Tree of Life here to try it out. (Elvish)" Chu Shi said.
Chu Shi immediately said to Su Han, "Number 0, these elves nearby say that if we want to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life, it's best to eat it here. If a magical outburst occurs after eating it, they can help us!"
Su Han replied, "Then we really should eat a fruit of the Tree of Life here and try it."
Chu Shi said, "Number 0, let one person eat it then!"
"Then I'll try first!" Su Han said.
Chu Shi said, "Wait, Number 0. You shouldn't be the one to eat it. Let someone else do it."
Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, Zi Han, and Zhou Xiaoyue, the four of them standing nearby, also heard their conversation.
"I'll try!" x4.
All four of them simultaneously expressed their willingness to try.
Su Han said, "There's no need to rush. Number 0, what's the risk of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life here?"
"Don't worry, the risk is extremely low. No deaths in experiments!" Chu Shi said.
Experiment? What kind of experiment? Su Han was curious but didn't ask for details. Su Han had already guessed that it might involve using someone.
"Then let's do it in a fair way! Let's draw lots!" Su Han said.
"That's a good idea. Here are four sticks. Whoever draws the shortest one will try eating the fruit of the Tree of Life here!"
Chu Shi was already holding four sticks whose lengths were indiscernible.
Ye Fan looked and said, "Huh? Four sticks? Number 1, you've excluded yourself, haven't you?"
"Of course, I have to exclude myself. I need to observe your reactions after eating the fruit of the Tree of Life."
"No need to draw lots!"
Zhou Xiaoyue quickly peeled the fruit of the Tree of Life in her hand and ate it.
Ye Fan and Xiao Yan immediately moved closer to Zhou Xiaoyue and asked, "How is it? What does the fruit of the Tree of Life taste like?"
"How to describe the taste of this fruit? I've never eaten a fruit with this taste before. If I had to compare it, it's a bit like the taste of pitaya and watermelon combined. You guys just wait for me to finish this fruit!"
Zhou Xiaoyue ate the last fruit of the Tree of Life in a few bites.
After finishing the fruit of the Tree of Life, Zhou Xiaoyue's whole body began to emit a light, just like the little elf. However, the light from Zhou Xiaoyue's body was a light blue glow.
The surrounding elves gathered around, watching.
"Light blue glow! This person from another race has magic too! (Elvish)"
"Light blue glow is water attribute. This girl from another race will become water-aligned! (Elvish)"
"No outburst! (Elvish)"
"..."
Chu Shi went up and asked, "Number 6, how are you feeling now?"
Zhou Xiaoyue replied, "I'm in excellent condition! I can feel a power appearing within my body. This power should be magic."
"Magic! I want to try the feeling of magic too!" Ye Fan also ate the fruit of the Tree of Life.
Xiao Yan and Zi Han didn't fall behind and also ate the fruit of the Tree of Life.
Ye Fan's magic was electricity-attribute magic. Xiao Yan's magic was fire-attribute magic, and Zi Han's was lightning-attribute magic.
Next, Chu Shi ate the fruit of the Tree of Life.
Chu Shi's magic was ice-attribute magic.
Finally, Su Han ate the fruit of the Tree of Life.
After taking the last bite of the fruit of the Tree of Life, a power surged from within Su Han.
Su Han felt that his condition was much better than before. Before, Su Han thought he could only lift a bucket of water with one hand, but now Su Han felt he could lift three buckets of water with one hand.
"I feel like I've become so strong. About three times stronger than before. Is this just my imagination?"
Chu Shi mercilessly deflated Su Han's ego, "Yes, it is indeed your imagination. You're not three times stronger. At most, you're twice as strong."
Su Han said with resignation, "It seems this really was my imagination!"
Su Han looked at the surrounding elves. Why had all the surrounding elves gone quiet? Weren't they exclaiming every time magic appeared before?
Su Han saw that the elves around were all full of surprise.
"Chu Shi, what's wrong with them?"
Chu Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's highly likely your magic attribute surprised them! I'll ask!"
Chu Shi asked, "What magic attribute is this silver glow, and why are you all making such faces? (Elvish)"
After three seconds, the surrounding elves erupted in a loud cheer.
"It's silver! (Elvish)"
"I can't believe I'm witnessing the emergence of silver magic! (Elvish)"
"Silver magic! A space mage! How long has it been since silver magic appeared on the continent? When was the last recorded time? (Elvish)"
"I think it was two thousand years ago! Silver magic, the legendary space-attribute magic! (Elvish)"
"..."
Su Han asked confusedly, "What's going on? What are the surrounding elves cheering about?"
Chu Shi said to Su Han, "Well, they're cheering because your magic is space-attribute magic. They say a space-attribute mage appears only once every two thousand years!"
