First Encounter with Huo Wushuang

"This is the Blazing Flame Volcano? The concentration of fire-elemental energy here is indeed extraordinary."

At the foot of the volcano, Qing Mu sensed the dense fire-attribute energy around him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This is only at the foot of the mountain, and the fire elemental energy is already so concentrated. Just how concentrated would the Fire Attribute energy be at the summit or near lava?

In an instant, Qing Mu understood why these people were still flocking to the volcano despite the obvious risk of an eruption.

For Fire Attribute Spirit Master, this is simply the most advanced Mimic Training Ground, far surpassing any man-made one.

Then, Qing Mu smiled slightly and said to Bulbasaur beside him, "Bulbasaur, let's go. Let's see what the top of this volcano is like."

The volcano's mystique further solidified Qing Mu's determination to train again. If he could truly master Solar Beam through this training, Bulbasaur's combat power would undoubtedly experience another leap forward.

Qing Mu designed two battle systems for Bulbasaur. One system is Undying Artillery Platform System built around Solar Beam and Solar Beam, combined with moves such Ingrain, Giga Drain, and Leech Seed.

The system is now nearly complete, except for the core attack move, Solar Beam.

The other approach focuses on Rapid Attack Style using Grassy Terrain and Grass Slide, supplemented by some auxiliary moves.

This Rapid Attack Style was basically abandoned by Qing Mu Qing Mu he obtained the Sunny Day ultimate move.

Compared to the quick attack of Grass Slide, Undead Cannon is undoubtedly stronger and more suitable for Venusaur.

However, Soul Beast Qing Mu realized that being strong on the battlefield alone was not enough. If he encountered an opponent he could not defeat, he would still need to have the ability to escape.

So Qing Mu refocused his attention on the Rapid Attack Style that he had almost shelved.

While the Rapid Attack Style lacks offensive power, it is very suitable as an aid for escaping.

After all, although the Grassy Terrain is limited in size, it can be moved according to Qing Mu's wishes.

In other words, the Grass Slide is not limited by the location; theoretically, as long as he and Bulbasaur want to slide, they can slide indefinitely.

In this situation, Bulbasaur's speed will be unbelievably fast, making it almost impossible to catch up with Bulbasaur.

"Da na, da na~"

Bulbasaur nodded upon hearing this, looking towards the mountaintop with some curiosity.

Grass Attribute Pokémon should generally dislike environments like volcanoes, but Bulbasaur is an exception.

After being transplanted with the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Bulbasaur is no longer afraid of fire. In fact, if it wanted to, given enough time, Bulbasaur could learn Fire Attribute moves, such as Flamethrower.

"Bulbasaur can Flamethrower. If people from the original world saw this, they would definitely question whether your Bulbasaur is legal."

Qing Mu glanced at Bulbasaur and couldn't help but think to himself.

Soon, Qing Mu and Bulbasaur arrived at the edge of the volcano. A few Spirit Master were sitting cross-legged around them, and they seemed to be of decent level.

Qing Mu was somewhat surprised to reach the summit so easily, and asked, "Didn't anyone stop us?"

Not far away, a handsome young man in red robes, sitting cross-legged, smiled slightly after hearing Qing Mu's words and said, "Brother, is this your first time visiting the Scorching Volcano?"

"That's right, is there any explanation for it?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Mu noticed the handsome young man and inquired about it.

The young man in red explained, "Some people once wanted to rent out this Blazing Flame Volcano and build fortifications to use as their own training grounds, but they quickly realized that it wouldn't be worth it."

"First of all, the Ability Scorching Volcano in small, localized bursts from time to time means that it is impossible to build any long-term fortifications."

Secondly, the Blazing Flame Volcano is very large, and the cost of booking out the entire area is too high. Even if the largest forces joined forces, it would be difficult to do so, and it would also cause dissatisfaction among others.

At this point, the young man in red paused for a moment, then continued:

"Finally, and most importantly, the effect of using this place Mimic Training Ground is far less than imagined."

Although the Fire Element here is extremely concentrated, the environment is also very harsh. Ordinary Spirit Master cannot endure it for long, so those forces naturally gave up on this idea.

Anyway, this place is quite big; if needed, I can just find a place to Calm Mind.

After hearing the young man's words, Qing Mu suddenly realized what he meant.

Immediately, Qing Mu cupped his hands in greeting and asked the young man in red, "May I ask how you are addressed?"

"My surname is Huo, and my given name is Wushuang," Huo Wushuang replied.

Upon hearing the name, Qing Mu was slightly taken aback, but still said, "My name is Qing Mu, and this is my Martial Soul, Bulbasaur."

"Da na~"

Upon hearing Qing Mu mention himself, Bulbasaur appropriately extended two Vine Whip and greeted Huo Wushuang.

Upon seeing this, Huo Wushuang's eyes flashed with surprise. "Brother Qing, your Martial Soul is quite peculiar; it actually has self-awareness."

As he spoke, Huo Wushuang stood up, came to Qing Mu's side, and began to observe Bulbasaur with curiosity.

Seeing this, Qing Mu simply smiled and did not react.

He had witnessed similar reactions to Huo Wushuang countless times before.

After a moment, Huo Wushuang withdrew his gaze and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "Brother Qing, your Bulbasaur is a Wood Attribute. It's rare to see Wood Attribute Spirit Master here. Are you here to familiarize yourselves with the fire environment?"

Towards the end, Huo Wushuang's tone became more admiring.

Generally speaking, Wood Attribute Spirit Master frown when they encounter Fire Attribute- Wood Attribute Spirit Master, let alone when they come to an environment as unfavorable as a volcano.

However, nothing is absolute. There are a very small number of Wood Attribute Spirit Master, in order to improve their Adaptability to dealing with Fire Attribute Spirit Master, specifically seek out places with abundant Fire Attribute. Huo Wushuang regarded Qing Mu as such a person.

I guess so.

Qing Mu did not deny it, because in a sense, Huo Wushuang was not wrong.

Seeing that Qing Mu did not deny it, Huo Wushuang looked at Qing Mu with even more admiration. Such a Spirit Master is rare in the Soul Master World. As long as his aptitude is not too bad, he will surely become a powerful figure in the future.

Thinking of this, Huo Wushuang couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Qing's determination is truly admirable. In that case, I won't bother you any longer. If you have time, we can chat again."

After speaking, Huo Wushuang returned to his original position and closed his eyes to begin Calm Mind again.

Qing Mu, together with Bulbasaur, began researching Fire Attribute.
