Power of Earth

The ultimate move Qing Mu obtained from the Soul Bone is called Power of Earth. Its effect is to release Power of Earth under the opponent's feet, and there is a chance to reduce the enemy's defense.

Compared to Earthquake, the Power of Earth is slightly weaker, but it also eliminates the problem of accidentally injuring teammates.

More importantly, Power of Earth is Special Attack move, and Venusaur's Special Attack is higher than its physical attack. Therefore, in Qing Mu's hands, Power of Earth is even more powerful than Earthquake.

"Power of Earth, huh? That's a pretty good move."

Qing Mu smiled.

At its current level, Venusaur is already strong enough; what it needs now is to improve itself.

His four Soul Skill are Grassy Terrain, Ultimate Absorption, Sunny Day, and Protect. Only Ultimate Absorption has some offensive capabilities; the other three are support skills.

Although Leech Seed can compensate for some of the Ultimate Absorption and Leech Seed have limited attack range and are not instantaneous, so enemies can easily dodge them if they are alert.

Unlike other Power of Earth is not only very fast to activate, but also has strong penetrating power. It is effective against fire, lightning, metal, rock, and poison Martial Soul, and its consumption is not high, making it an extremely powerful skill for filling gaps in your party's strength.

This is undoubtedly a huge boost for Qing Mu, who lacks offensive options. Even without Venusaur's help, Qing Mu is not afraid of facing Soul Ancestor of the same level.

Then, Qing Mu stood up and looked at the somewhat tired Venusaur, "Venusaur, you've had a hard time these past few days."

"Now you can rest for a bit. After you've rested, we'll challenge the other Soul Beast in this forest."

"Da na!"

Upon hearing Venusaur nodded, then moved the rock blocking the cave entrance and began to take a nap.

For several days, he had been focused on protecting Qing Mu. Their battle was bound to be fierce, and he definitely needed to rest and get back to his best condition.

The next day, in the Core Zone Qing Ling Forest.

"The Power of Earth!"

Qing Mu's right foot glowed with an earthy yellow light. With a slight exertion, a special wave of energy exploded from beneath the nearly ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast opposite him, instantly injuring it severely.

Looking at the effects of this strike using the Power of Earth, and the Soul Power returned after defeating the opponent, Qing Mu nodded in satisfaction.

"Indeed, the power of this Power of Earth is even stronger than I expected; it should be comparable to Soul Skill of forty or fifty thousand years."

Wood Attribute Soul Beast have a certain resistance to ground attacks, but even so, Soul Beast that is nearly ten thousand years old could not withstand his attack with the Power of Earth.

Judging from the power of his Power of Earth attack, it was even stronger than the fifth Soul Skill used by many Soul King, and not weaker than the Sixth Soul Ring used by some Soul Emperor.

For Qing Mu, who is only level 44 at the moment, this is undoubtedly a very strong attack. Even Soul King would not dare to take a direct hit from Qing Mu's Power of Earth.

Afterwards, Qing Mu casually tossed a Grassy Terrain to the Soul Beast, and then left with Venusaur.

With his current strength and that of Venusaur, fighting Soul Beast under 10,000 years old is too inefficient; they need to fight Soul Beast over 10,000 years old.

Because they were in the Core Zone, they quickly found a Soul Beast that met their requirements.

"A 15,000-year-old Magic Thorn Vine, huh? Perfect for testing the new moves Venusaur has learned."

Looking at the Magic Thorn Vine in front of him, Qing Mu said calmly.

For Venusaur now, a 10,000- or 5,000-year-old Soul Beast is just the right time to test new moves—not too weak, not too strong.

If it's Soul Beast that's 20,000 or 30,000 years old, then they need to be more serious; if it's Soul Beast that's 40,000 years old, then they'll need to deal with it with all their might.

As for Soul Beast that are over 50,000 years old, forget about them. Soul Beast that are over 50,000 years old already have the Combat Power of Soul Douluo, and even ordinary Soul Douluo might not be able to defeat them. Qing Mu and Venusaur are not that strong yet.

Fortunately, in this Qing Ling Forest, Soul Beast over 50,000 years old are not common. Each one is a hegemon-level existence with its own territory and generally does not move easily.

After all, not every forest is like the Star Dou Great Forest, where 100,000-year-old Soul Beast roam freely in the Outer Zone.

Immediately, Qing Mu entered battle mode and Mind Link said to Venusaur, "Venusaur, use that move you just learned!"

"Da na!"

Venusaur nodded, and then a large number of pink petals emerged from its back, falling around it like Infernal Delicate Apricot.

This is the Venusaur, which Falling Blossoms learns during its evolution.

"Falling Blossoms" is a powerful area-of-effect attack that covers a considerable area, making it a pretty good move among Grass Attribute attacks.

However, Venusaur is not lacking in damage these days. What Qing Mu really values about this move is Falling Blossoms versatility.

Compared to the Vine Whip and Leaf Blade, Falling Blossoms offers more subtle control, allowing it to perform maneuvers that other special moves cannot.

Under Venusaur's control, the pink petals, like drifting snowflakes, attacked the nearby Magic Thorn Vine. Although it was the first time she had used this technique, she did it with great skill.

The attacked Magic Thorn Vine reacted instantly, with a dozen vines coalescing into a sphere to protect its body, while another part of the vines burrowed underground, attempting to ambush Qing Mu and Venusaur.

"Snort!"

Seeing this, Qing Mu snorted coldly, then moved her right foot slightly, and an energy wave immediately spread out from the sole of Qing Mu foot, colliding with the vines underground.

"Boom!"

As an explosion came from underground, the vines that had been blown halfway up the ground burst forth and clashed with the pink petals controlled by Venusaur.

The falling pink petals had no sharp edge or terrifying power, yet the vines, as hard as iron, were instantly severed upon contact with them, like tofu, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Sensing this, the Magic Thorn Vine trembled slightly, for what it had just witnessed indicated that the opponent's strength far surpassed its own.

But since it was a matter of life and death, it could not give up. So it chose to go all in, and in an instant, countless thorny vines rushed towards Qing Mu and Venusaur.

Its thorns contain potent Deadly Poison; if the opponent has no resistance to poison, a single sting could potentially reverse the current situation.

However, its resistance was doomed to failure. Not to mention that both Venusaur and Qing Mu were virtually immune to all poisons, its attack was unlikely to hit Qing Mu or Venusaur.
