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 techniques increases by thirty percent!"

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

After hearing Qing Mu's words, Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao could not help but gasp.

There was no other reason; the effects of Qing Mu's Soul Skill were simply too powerful.

Whether it was continuously restoring health or increasing the power of Wood Attribute techniques by thirty percent, either would have been an excellent First Soul Skill, worthy of a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. Yet now, they had been combined into a single Soul Skill.

Most importantly, Qing Mu's Grassy Terrain was area-based. With this Soul Skill, Qing Mu could not only strengthen himself, but also support his teammates.

Xu Yao could not help but say 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's goal was the Control System, the existence of this single Soul Skill alone made his support abilities surpass those of most Support System Soul Masters.

"Hahaha, as expected of my son!"

Qing Tianfeng finally came to his senses. He patted Qing Mu on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

The effects of Grassy Terrain were undoubtedly powerful. If it also had the effect of suppressing opponents, then calling it a Domain would not be excessive at all.

Even so, in Qing Tianfeng's eyes, Grassy Terrain could still be regarded as a Pseudo-Domain, and an extremely high-level Soul Skill at that.

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

At that moment, Qing Mu suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, have you noticed that the grass around here is a little too lush?"

Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao were both taken aback by Qing Mu's words.

The weeds in this valley were indeed unexpectedly lush. They had originally assumed it was because this was a primeval forest, but after Qing Mu pointed it out, it seemed there might be something more to it.

Xu Yao subconsciously asked, "Son, are you saying there's something unusual around here?"

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

And plant-type Soul Beasts rarely mutate because of their own problems. Most are influenced by their surrounding environment."

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

"So I suspect there is something inside this valley that has made the Wood Attribute energy in the surrounding environment abnormally dense, even causing the Green Wood Vines living here to mutate."

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

"Exactly!"

Qing Mu nodded.

Xu Yao understood as well. She immediately excitedly picked Qing Mu up, kissed his cheek, and said, "Son, you really 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, so they were naturally no match for Qing Tianfeng and Xu Yao and were easily defeated.

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

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

Qing Tianfeng had instinctively wanted to refuse. Under normal circumstances, even a Soul Grandmaster might not be able to defeat a Hundred-Year Soul Beast, much less 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 him and Xu Yao watching over Qing Mu, these Soul Beasts that were less than 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 slight growth of Soul Power within his body, Qing Mu could not help but sigh.

After fighting those few Hundred-Year Soul Beasts, Qing Mu was surprised to discover that Bulbasaur did not have to kill an opponent to gain experience. As long as it defeated one, it could gain 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 using Grassy Terrain to heal it.

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

After figuring this out, Qing Mu's future path became clear. Usually, he would train Bulbasaur in the use of its techniques, and whenever it needed to level up, he would go to the Soul Beast Forest to fight Soul Beasts while gaining practical experience with those techniques.

After all, the Soul Beast Forest contained many different kinds of Soul Beasts, so Qing Mu did not have 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?

Qing Mu's eyes lit up at the thought. If that were really the case, it would be even better. No matter whom he fought, he could raise his level and grow stronger through battle!

However, Qing Mu quickly calmed down, because he would not truly know until he tested it for 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 raise his level. But once his level became higher, perhaps even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would no longer be a challenge to him.

And after becoming a Titled Douluo, perhaps only Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would be effective opponents.

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

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