Special Treasure

"My First Soul Skill is called Grassy Terrain. Its effect is to continuously restore the health of allies within its range, and within the grassy field, the power of Wood Attribute moves increases by thirty percent!"

As he cast Grassy Terrain, Qing Mu explained its effects to his parents.

Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

There was no other reason—the effect of Qing Mu's Soul Skill was simply too powerful.

Whether it was the continuous health restoration or the thirty-percent increase in the power of Wood Attribute moves, either would have made for an excellent First Soul Skill, worthy of a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. Yet now, they had actually been fused into a single Soul Skill.

Most importantly, Qing Mu's Grassy Terrain was an area-of-effect ability. With this Soul Skill, he could not only enhance himself but also support his teammates.

Xu Yao could not help saying enviously, "Son, your luck is incredible!"

As a Support System Soul Master, Xu Yao naturally understood what Qing Mu's Soul Skill meant.

It could be said that although Qing Mu was aiming for the Control System, the existence of this single Soul Skill alone had already made his support capabilities surpass those of most Support System Soul Masters.

"Hahaha, as expected of my son!"

Qing Tianfeng came back to his senses at that moment. He patted Qing Mu on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

There was no doubt that Grassy Terrain's effects were powerful. If it also had an effect that suppressed opponents, then calling it a domain would not have been an exaggeration at all.

Even so, in Qing Tianfeng's eyes, Grassy Terrain could still be considered a Pseudo-Domain, and one of the most top-tier Soul Skills at that.

Qing Tianfeng would not have found such a Soul Skill effect strange even if it had come from a Soul Beast over a thousand years old. Yet it had come from a three-hundred-year Green Wood Vine.

Qing Mu suddenly spoke up. "Dad, Mom, have you noticed that the grass around here is a little too lush?"

Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao froze upon hearing Qing Mu's words.

The weeds in this valley were indeed unexpectedly luxuriant. At first, they had assumed it was because this was a primeval forest, but after Qing Mu's reminder, it seemed there might be something more to it.

Xu Yao instinctively asked, "Son, do you mean there's something strange around here?"

Qing Mu nodded. "An ordinary Green Wood Vine couldn't possibly produce a Soul Skill like Grassy Terrain, so I suspect this Green Wood Vine mutated.

And plant Soul Beast mutations are rarely caused by problems within themselves. Most are affected by their surroundings."

Qing Mu paused there before continuing after a moment, "From the moment we entered this valley, I noticed that the Wood Attribute energy here seemed exceptionally dense. After summoning Bulbasaur, that feeling became even more obvious.

"So I suspect there's something in this valley that has caused the Wood Attribute energy in the surroundings to become abnormally dense, even causing the Green Wood Vines living in this valley to mutate."

Hearing this, Qing Tianfeng rubbed his chin. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Mu'er, are you saying there might be some Wood Attribute treasure nearby that caused the plants here to mutate?"

"Exactly!"

Qing Mu nodded.

Xu Yao understood as well. She immediately picked Qing Mu up excitedly, kissed his cheek, and said, "Son, you truly are our lucky star."

If they could find that Wood Attribute treasure, whether they kept it for themselves or auctioned it off, it would bring them enormous benefits in their current circumstances.

Thus, Qing Mu's family began searching throughout the valley for the treasure that had caused the Green Wood Vine to mutate.

During this process, they encountered quite a few Soul Beasts in the valley. However, the strongest were only around eight hundred years old, naturally no match for Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao, and were easily defeated.

Qing Mu and Bulbasaur did not sit idle either. Whenever they encountered Soul Beasts that were not particularly old, Qing Mu would ask Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao to leave the Soul Beasts to him for practice.

After all, since he had finally gotten the opportunity, Qing Mu naturally wanted to take the chance to let Bulbasaur gain some experience.

Qing Tianfeng instinctively wanted to refuse. Under normal circumstances, even a Soul Grandmaster might not be able to defeat a Hundred-Year Soul Beast, let alone Qing Mu, who had only just absorbed his First Soul Ring.

But then he remembered that his son seemed to have successfully killed a Hundred-Year Shadow Leopard half a year ago. He immediately swallowed his refusal and agreed to let Qing Mu give it a try.

In any case, with Xu Yao and him watching over him, these Soul Beasts that were not even a thousand years old could not cause any trouble.

"I really didn't expect Bulbasaur to gain experience even without killing Soul Beasts!"

Feeling the faint growth of Soul Power within his body, Qing Mu could not help but marvel.

After fighting those Hundred-Year Soul Beasts just now, Qing Mu was surprised to discover that Bulbasaur did not need to kill an opponent to gain experience. As long as it defeated them, it could obtain experience.

Moreover, the amount of experience was not much different from directly killing a Soul Beast.

This gave Qing Mu an idea. Perhaps he could find a suitable Soul Beast and repeatedly farm experience by defeating it, then healing it with Grassy Terrain.

However, the current situation was not suitable for experimentation. He would have to wait until later.

Once Qing Mu figured this out, his future path became clear. Normally, he would train Bulbasaur in the use of its moves. Whenever it needed to level up, he would head to the Soul Beast Forest to fight Soul Beasts while practicing those moves in real combat.

After all, the Soul Beast Forest contained many kinds of Soul Beasts, so Qing Mu did not need to worry about being unable to find opponents.

Suddenly, Qing Mu thought of another question. Since defeating Soul Beasts could increase his Soul Power, could fighting Spirit Masters achieve the same result?

His eyes immediately lit up. If that were truly the case, it would be even better. No matter whom he fought, he could increase his level and grow stronger through battle!

But Qing Mu soon calmed down. He would only truly know after testing it himself in the future.

Besides, leveling up generally became more difficult the further one progressed.

Right now, he only needed to fight Hundred-Year Soul Beasts to increase his level. But once his level became higher, perhaps even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would not be worth his attention.

And after becoming a Titled Douluo, perhaps he would need Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts as opponents for it to have any effect.

He wondered which Douluo Worldview this world belonged to. Did it have the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of Douluo 2, as well as Gu Yuena, the Lord of Soul Beasts with her astonishing wisdom?

Qing Mu naturally hoped it did. After all, there were simply too few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in Douluo 1, especially on the continent, where there were only a handful.
