Back to the shadow base, Ye Fan found himself unaware of the exchange between the two mysterious individuals. Yet, a sense of contentment washed over him as he reflected on the events of the day. Though it seemed like a whirlwind of activity, he was surprised to discover that it was only 3:00 in the evening and stayed for more than 6 hours in the Wood Spirit World.
But he suddenly thought of Groot 1. To his immense relief, he discovered that it hadn't transformed into a towering 5-meter giant as it had in the Wood Spirit World. Its size had compressed from a towering 5 meters to a more manageable 2.5 meters, yet it retained its bulky appearance, its skin now composed of tough Titan Wood bark like thick armor. However, its intelligence and strength had soared to levels far beyond its previous state, thanks to Master Liu's assistance in unlocking its true potential.
