Bulbasaur Evolves into Ivysaur!

"Mom, I understand."

Hearing the grave expression in Xu Yao's voice, Qing Mu solemnly nodded.

Seeing Qing Mu agree, a faint smile appeared on Xu Yao's face. She then said to him, "In that case, I won't disturb you and Bulbasaur's training."

After saying that, Xu Yao quickly fled the scene as though she were escaping.

At the same time, Qing Tianfeng emerged from the castle. When he saw Xu Yao's expression, he froze for a moment before hurriedly asking, "What happened?"

The moment Xu Yao saw Qing Tianfeng, she threw herself into his arms. "This is bad. The Wood Spirit Seed has affected Mu'er."

"What? What happened to Mu'er?"

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Qing Tianfeng immediately panicked and pressed for details.

"It happened like this, and then this, and then..."

Xu Yao immediately described everything that had happened earlier.

After hearing her out, Qing Tianfeng wore a somewhat strange expression. "Are you sure that Mu'er's aura works on all Spirit Masters, rather than only on you?"

"It's hard to say for other Spirit Masters, but it definitely works on Wood Attribute Spirit Masters. And compared to me, they would only find it more attractive!"

Xu Yao stated firmly.

Seeing how certain Xu Yao was, Qing Tianfeng lowered his head in thought and stroked his chin. "In that case, we need to act quickly. At the very least, we have to find out whether Mu'er's current condition is good or bad.

But I don't know much about the Wood Spirit Seed. This will have to depend on you."

"I'll do my best."

Xu Yao clenched her fists and spoke resolutely.

It would naturally be best if she could figure it out herself. If she truly could not, she could only pay a visit to the senior who had told her this information in the first place.

Time passed, and another half year went by. Although Xu Yao had consulted many books, she still could not figure out what was happening to Qing Mu, which left her exceedingly anxious.

Fortunately, Qing Mu had not shown any adverse symptoms during those six months. His physical strength had also improved considerably, even becoming no weaker than that of an Assault System Beast Martial Soul Spirit Master of the same rank. This finally allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.

At least judging from the current situation, the fusion of the Wood Spirit Seed with her son brought only benefits and no harm.

The lawn outside Qing Mu's home.

"Whew... I've finally studied the Wood Spirit Seed well enough. I never expected it to possess so many abilities. That truly surprised me."

Qing Mu let out a long breath, and an involuntary smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

After half a year of experiments, Qing Mu discovered that the Wood Spirit Seed had several functions.

The first was that it could amplify the power of Wood Attribute moves.

The principle behind this ability was that the Wood Spirit Seed continuously purified Qing Mu's Soul Power. With the same move, different levels of Soul Power purity would naturally result in different levels of power. That was obvious.

However, the effect was not yet significant. Even after half a year of purification, Qing Mu's Soul Power had become less than ten percent purer.

Moreover, Qing Mu could clearly sense that this purification effect had a limit. The final result was similar to the Miracle Seed in Pokémon, increasing power by roughly twenty percent.

Compared to the first ability, the second was what Qing Mu truly valued.

He could directly draw upon the Wood Spirit Seed's energy, condensing Energy Balls for attack or forming a Defense Barrier for protection. This undoubtedly gave Qing Mu, who was physically vulnerable himself, a certain degree of self-defense. Even if Bulbasaur's protection was broken through, he would not be so easily cut down.

However, doing so consumed a great deal of the Wood Spirit Seed's energy. Unless he truly encountered a life-threatening crisis, Qing Mu would not use it lightly.

Beyond those two abilities, the Wood Spirit Seed could also heal plants and temper the body.

As for the Martial Soul Evolution of Wood Attribute Spirit Masters that his mother Xu Yao had mentioned at the beginning, Qing Mu had not felt anything of the sort.

Perhaps the change was too subtle, or perhaps the Bulbasaur Martial Soul was already quite excellent, so the Wood Spirit Seed had failed to produce its intended effect.

However, what surprised Qing Mu most was that after fusing with the Wood Spirit Seed, he had gained an ability to communicate with plants through his mind to a certain extent. This ability also worked on Bulbasaur.

Although he could not communicate directly through words, he could sense the other party's emotions and intentions.

Thanks to this ability, he could now command Bulbasaur in battle without speaking, relying solely on an ability similar to Mind Link.

Naturally, Qing Mu was delighted by this.

Although this Mind Link ability did not show much of an advantage at low levels, once their levels became high enough, it would inevitably grow increasingly important as the speed of both sides in battle increased.

For example, Titled Douluo fought at speeds close to the speed of sound. Under such circumstances, sound clearly could no longer meet the demands of battle, and a more advanced means of communication would be necessary.

Originally, Qing Mu had thought that practice made perfect. As long as he and Bulbasaur developed enough mutual understanding, they could achieve the same results as training even without any verbal communication.

But now that they had this type of Mind Link ability, that was naturally even better.

The only thing Qing Mu found somewhat regrettable was that this Mind Link-like ability consumed a considerable amount of Spiritual Power. With his current Spiritual Power, he could not use it freely, so he generally only used it during battle.

Just as Qing Mu was thinking this, Bulbasaur across from him suddenly began to show some unusual changes.

Qing Mu naturally noticed as well, so he hurriedly ran over and asked, "Bulbasaur, what's wrong?"

"Da Na, Da Na~"

Bulbasaur shook its head, indicating that this was not a bad thing.

Then, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up around Bulbasaur's body.

Seeing this, Qing Mu's eyes widened. This scene... could it be...?

The vast majority of Pokémon possessed evolved forms. Generally speaking, once they reached the appropriate level, they would evolve into more advanced forms.

Bulbasaur evolved at level sixteen, and after half a year of training, Qing Mu's Soul Power Level had also reached sixteen.

When Bulbasaur had not evolved before, Qing Mu had thought that evolution levels might differ in Douluo Continent from those in Pokémon. But now, it seemed he had been taking things for granted.

Bulbasaur was not data in a game that evolved the moment it reached level sixteen. In reality, evolution required an opportunity.

And clearly, that opportunity had arrived.

A moment later, the white light faded, and an Ivysaur larger than Bulbasaur, carrying a pink flower bud on its back, appeared before Qing Mu.
