Chapter 205 The Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree (Part 1)
He wasn't lying. From the first impression back in the wheat field to their interactions at the banquet, Roh Baekjin and the rest of the Haneulsae trading team were convinced that Kim Haru was a genius in farming and plant re
These Haneulsae people were clearly dead set on resorting to underhanded tactics. If that was the case, he wouldn't bother holding back.
Activating the [Absolute Defense] shield he'd purchased from the system store, Kim Haru said calmly, "Alright then, let's make this quick."
His unperturbed tone instantly lit a fire of rage in the hearts of the Haneulsae group.
Was he looking down on them? Did he think that he could take on so many of them by himself?
"In that case, don't blame us for being rude!" Roh Baekjin who is prideful himself, couldn't stand being so blatantly dismissed. Without another word, he waved his hand and led the charge.
However, even then, he still gave a command, "Don't kill him."
Kill me? Kim Haru's lips curled into a faint smile. We'll see who ends up beating who.
[Farm's Blessing], let's do your best! he thought.
Hopefully, he won't have to spend money on more items. Even though he has plenty of money, it's best to save where he can. After all, frugality is a virtue.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty figures closed in on Kim Haru. The heat from fire-type abilities could be felt as if it was already licking at his eyelashes.
Kim Haru hadn't even made a move.
Just as the Haneulsae team began to feel a small spark of victory take root in their hearts, a bone-chilling cold rose in the air.
Crack!
The person closest to Kim Haru turned into a brilliant blue ice sculpture from the arm down in an instant. Even the fireball mid-flight turned into frozen solid, its flickering flames transformed into vivid, icy spikes.
With a soft plop, the now-frozen fireball lost its support and fell to the ground, shattering into icy fragments.
From where Kim Haru stood, a wave of frost rapidly spread across the ground, radiating outward with biting cold.
"It's the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree!"
Someone from the Haneulsae team shouted in alarm.
Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree? How could it be an Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree?! How could something like this appear here? Could it also be one of Kim Haru's plant-type abilities? No, no, that's impossible! He already had the Phantom Flame Phoenix Tree. Every plant-type ability user could only form a bond with one particularly powerful combat plant. More than that, and they'd start to reject one another.
At best, both plants would be lost. At worst, the plants could backlash against the ability user, stripping them of their powers—or even costing them their life!
That's why they had only studied countermeasures against the Phantom Flame Phoenix Tree and hadn't considered anything else. So how could the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree which was ranked seventh in the mutated plant list, suddenly appear here? This didn't make any sense!

Various thoughts flashed through their minds, but it was too late to do anything.
The extreme cold engulfed them in an instant. Apart from a few Level 3 ability users who were still resisting with great effort, the others were completely immobilized, unable to do anything in blink of eyes.
"Stop! Please, stop!" Roh Baekjin couldn't care about anything else and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
Kim Haru glanced at the mutated bamboo beside him. "Pause for now."
The spreading frost slowed down immediately.
Within the sealed space, everything visible was a frozen blue. Ice particles hung suspended in the air, and any breath exhaled instantly crystallized into beads of ice, falling to the ground with soft plinking sounds. The thick ice covering the ground radiated an icy chill that made it even colder than the lowest setting of an industrial freezer.
The people who had been frozen into sculptures had their facial expressions perfectly preserved in the ice—fear, panic, shock, pain, despair. It was like a frozen tableau of a hellish nightmare.
Even the attacks that were launched by those people were frozen mid-air. Some had fallen to the ground, while others remained suspended, connected to their users' hands in the shape of their original trajectories. Not even fire-type abilities that was supposedly the nemesis of ice, had escaped being sealed in frost.
