The Flaw of Power Whip

"Bang!"

Under the attack of numerous tree vines, a giant spider-like Soul Beast fell, and Qing Mu and Venusaur defeated another opponent.

However, Qing Mu frowned as he looked at the Venusaur beside him, which was panting heavily.

After these days of practice, Qing Mu discovered that the power of the Power Whip technique was far greater than he had imagined.

Even without using the growing Venusaur, the Power Whip technique can easily defeat a 30,000-year-old Soul Beast, and its power far surpasses Venusaur's other special moves.

However, every gain has its loss; the side effects of great power are equally enormous.

That is because this move requires too much Soul Power, almost draining Qing Mu's Soul Power. Moreover, controlling dozens or even hundreds of vines at the same time also puts a considerable burden on his mind.

Each use of the Power Whip was Grand Trial of Qing Mu's Soul Power and spirit.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for the ability to Ingrain and restore their Soul Power, they would have essentially lost their combat capabilities after Venusaur used Power Whip.

Thinking about this, Qing Mu couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Power Whip has a one-turn pause in the game; the cost is indeed too high."

Qing Mu had a feeling that Power Whip wasn't a move they should be using at their current level. It was just that Venusaur had become too proficient in Vine Moves under Qing Mu's training and had learned it ahead of time thanks to that battle.

After all, Solar Beam Venusaur learn than Power Whip; some individuals can even use Solar Beam during their Bulbasaur stage.

"I wonder when Venusaur will learn Solar Beam," Qing Mu thought to himself, looking at the Venusaur beside him.

Compared to Power Whip, Solar Beam is the main attack move in his planned combat system.

With the blessing of Sunny Day Solar Beam can be cast instantly, and its consumption is much lower than that of Power Whip, so it won't exhaust its Soul Power like it does now, with one big move.

After a brief respite, Qing Mu and Venusaur resumed their training journey. They would continuously challenge different types of Soul Beast to hone their combat skills.

Thus, all the high-level Soul Beast in the entire Qing Ling Forest faced a powerful enemy.

This enemy is not only powerful, but also has a variety of fighting styles, making him difficult to subdue no matter what kind of opponent he faces.

After news of the person and the frog spread, many Soul Beast in the Qing Ling Forest realized they were no match for Qing Mu and Venusaur, so they moved away from their original territories and from the Core Zone to the Mixed Zone.

In an instant, the teams that came to Soul Hunting suffered. The appearance of a large number of powerful Soul Beast greatly increased the danger of their Soul Hunting, and many teams began to retreat to the Outer Zone.

Those powerful teams, while choosing to remain in the Mixed Zone to Soul Hunting, have seen a significant increase in the difficulty of their Soul Hunting.

"Damn it, why are we encountering so many Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast lately? What exactly happened in the Core Zone?"

Somewhere in the Qing Ling Forest, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties was cursing and swearing. Behind her were two middle-aged men and four or five students in green uniforms.

This group was the team from the Plant Academy who had come to Soul Hunting, and the beautiful woman who had just been cursing was Mu Xue, the vice dean of the Plant Academy, a level 72 Control System Soul Saint.

Hearing Mu Xue's complaints, the Soul Emperor teacher beside her helplessly advised, "Dean Mu, calm down. We're just here to hunt for Soul Ring. Let's not cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Yeah yeah!"

Another teacher echoed this sentiment.

After being annoyed for a while, Mu Xue sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said, "The situation in Qing Ling Forest is clearly not right. How about this, you all take the students who have already obtained their Soul Ring back first. I'll help Yun Teng obtain her Soul Ring by myself."

Upon hearing this, the two teachers exchanged a glance, then both nodded slightly, agreeing with Mu Xue's suggestion.

Something's really off about this Qing Ling Forest. If the students stay here, something bad might happen to them at any time. It's best to go back as soon as possible.

As for Mu Xue, she is powerful, but there shouldn't be any unexpected problems in helping her daughter obtain a Fourth Soul Ring.

Immediately afterwards, the two teachers from the Plant Academy left with a group of students, leaving only Mu Xue and a young girl in green.

After everyone left, Mu Xue looked at the girl beside her and said, "Come on, Yun Teng, I'll help you get Soul Ring."

"Um."

Mu Yun Teng responded.

Without the burden of others, Mu Xue and Mu Yun Teng moved much faster. Just a few days later, they found a gathering place of Green Vine, selected a Green Vine that was nearly four thousand years old, and killed and refined it.

After achieving her goal, Mu Xue originally planned to leave with Mu Yun Teng, but she was extremely unlucky and encountered several powerful Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, causing her to deviate from her course several times.

In the end, even Mu Xue, Spirit Master who frequently visited the Qing Ling Forest, didn't know where she was.

Beside a small river, Mu Yun Teng looked at her mother, Mu Xue, with a resentful expression and said, "Mom, are you sure you know the way?"

"Of course I recognize it! Your mother is a veteran who's been to the Qing Ling Forest dozens of times, how could I possibly get lost!"

Although Mu Xue was still being stubborn, her tone clearly carried a hint of insecurity.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Teng's eyes grew even more resentful, and she said slowly and deliberately:

"You said that five days ago."

Seeing that Mu Yun Teng was quite resentful, Mu Xue immediately laughed it off.

"Really? Maybe I remembered wrong. But Yun Teng, you don't need to worry. With your mother's strength, she's more than capable of protecting you."

"But you can't even defeat a 15,000-year-old Magic Thorn Vine. There are plenty of Soul Beast in this Qing Ling Forest that are 30,000 or 40,000 years old."

Mu Yun Teng curled her lip.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xue's face immediately turned red, and she retorted, "Nonsense! Was it because I couldn't defeat it? I was just storing up my strength. If I used my Martial Soul Avatar, that Magic Thorn Vine would definitely not be a match for me!"

Mu Yun Teng, however, was unwilling to argue. As Soul Saint of level seventy-two, it seemed that it was not something to boast about that he needed to activate his Martial Soul Avatar to fight a 10,000-year-old and 5,000-year-old Magic Thorn Vine.

"Boom!"

Just then, a violent tremor came from afar, immediately alerting the two men.

"Could this commotion be...?"

As Spirit Master Mu Xue immediately realized something, quickly picked up Mu Yun Teng, and in a few flashes arrived at the top of the towering tree, looking towards the source of the commotion.

However, when Mu Xue and Mu Yun Teng saw the source of the commotion, their eyes widened in disbelief.
