The War Fortress!

Ivysaur stomped its four strong, powerful claws on the ground, and countless even thicker, tougher roots, shimmering with a pale green life force, sprouted from its feet, like the roots of a giant tree, and plunged deep into the earth.

A life force, visible to the naked eye and so rich it emanated a pale green aura, was Absorb up from the depths of the earth like a tide, continuously surging into Ivysaur's enormous body.

Lin Xia could clearly feel that Ivysaur, which had been depleted by the intense test, was rapidly recovering. Even he himself felt a comfortable warmth through the soul connection.

The efficiency and scope of the Ingrain recovery have been significantly improved!

It is now more like an inexhaustible source of life, greatly enhancing its ability to sustain prolonged battles!

"Leech Seed!"

The giant flower bud on Ivysaur's back trembled slightly, and seeds, larger than before and covered with strange purplish-black patterns, shooting out like metal bullets, shot out faster and with more unpredictable trajectories!

These seeds struck another intact stone pillar, instantly exploding. The strange energy Spore inside, a fusion of the Life Poison and the Rakshasa Devour Ability of the Rakshasa, frantically burrowed into the stone like maggots clinging to its bones.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

A chilling sound of erosion filled the air, and the hard stone pillar's surface turned gray and decayed at a visible speed.

Lin Xia was dumbfounded when she saw this. When did Leech Seed become able to absorb even rocks?

However, the test wasn't over yet, and Lin Xia didn't delve too deeply into it, but continued:

"Finally, the Grassy Terrain!"

Ivysaur let out a long, low growl, and the huge flower bud on its back suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling emerald green light than ever before!

The light spread rapidly from the center like ripples on water, covering almost half of the courtyard!

Wherever the light reached, the ordinary grass on the ground seemed to be infused with the essence of life, growing wildly in an instant, becoming lush and green, and exceptionally resilient. The edges of the grass blades even shimmered with a faint, cold light, like tiny blades!

The life force in the air was so strong it was almost suffocating. Lin Xia, who was in the air, felt comfortable all over, and her Soul Power even circulated faster.

Within this enhanced grassland area, Lin Xia felt that her body's vitality and recovery ability had received an additional boost.

"The area of effect has expanded, the concentration of Life Energy has doubled, the buffing effect on friendly units within the area has been significantly enhanced, and even... these grasses themselves have acquired a slight aggressiveness?"

Lin Xia felt the slight prickling sensation of the tough grass blades brushing against her skin, and was deeply shocked.

This is no longer just a support area; it's starting to resemble a nascent domain!

"Awesome! Ivysaur!"

Lin Xia couldn't help but excitedly pat the muscular forelimbs of the Ivysaur covered in bone-white armor.

"Your Grass-type abilities have undergone a qualitative leap! The immense power of the earth emanating from these bones has perfectly nourished and strengthened your plant-based essence!"

In her excitement, Lin Xia's gaze fell upon the condensed, bone-white armor on Ivysaur's body.

The defensive power of a 30,000-year-old Earth Rhinoceros was praised by Qian Daoliu in the reference materials, but how effective is it in actual combat?

"Come on, Ivysaur, stand still! Let me test the hardness of this armor!"

A hint of eagerness flashed in Lin Xia's eyes.

Lin Xia took a deep breath and unleashed his level 29 Soul Power without reservation!

After being tempered twice by Whale Rubber, especially by the 30,000-year-old Evil Spirit Orca, his physical strength had already far surpassed that of his peers, and his Soul Power had become more condensed and powerful.

"First Soul Skill, Life Poison!"

Lin Xia let out a low shout, and his hands were instantly enveloped by Soul Power that was emerald green with dark purple patterns.

Lin Xia did not choose to attack from a distance, but instead highly compressed and concentrated the Soul Power containing both purification and erosion Ability onto his right fist!

The fist, gleaming with a dangerous light and accompanied by a whistling sound as it tore through the air, slammed fiercely into the thickest central armor on Ivysaur's chest and abdomen, which was adorned with the Earth Rhinoceros!

"Bang!!!"

A deafeningly loud bang echoed through the courtyard!

Lin Xia felt as if he had punched an ancient, unchanging mountain!

An overwhelming and terrifying force of recoil instantly spread throughout his body from his fist and arm, causing his bones to groan in agony from the unbearable strain!

"Ta-da!"

Lin Xia was so shocked that she staggered back seven or eight steps before barely managing to regain her balance. Her entire right arm was sore, numb, and swollen, and her fist was red and swollen with faint traces of blood seeping out.

Looking at the spot on Ivysaur's chest where it was hit—not even a white mark was left on that thick, bone-white armor!

Only the Soul Power of Lin Xia's fist left a faint, almost invisible ripple in the air on the surface of the armor, which vanished instantly.

The dark purple divine runes on the armor's surface didn't even light up, clearly indicating that this level of attack was insufficient to trigger its devouring or transforming Ability.

Ivysaur merely swayed its massive body slightly, its crimson eyes lowered, looking at Lin Xia with a hint of doubt and concern:

"Dana?"

"Hiss... It's alright!"

Lin Xia shook her numb right hand, wincing in pain, but the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter, until finally she couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! Great! Excellent! They can't be damaged! They can't be damaged at all!"

Looking at the war fortress before him, which combined terrifying defense, amazing recovery, domineering control and weakening, group support and field control, Lin Xia felt an indescribable surge of pride and a strong sense of security.

"The Vine Whip are like steel cables, strangling all things; their Ingrain are like ancient trees, Absorb nourishment from the earth, endlessly regenerating; they are like parasites, consuming souls and seizing spirits; the green grass is like a domain, creating life itself! Add to that this indestructible Spirit Bone armor protecting me..."

Lin Xia paced around the Ivysaur, becoming more and more excited as she spoke. Finally, she stopped in front of it, her little face flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkling with confidence.

"Ivysaur, I really can't think of anyone of the same level—no, even a three-ring Soul Elder, or even some weaker Four-Ring Soul Ancestor —who else could break through our defenses and exhaust our recovery?"

"They can't hurt you, they can't control you, and they can't outlast you! But for us, a lash of our Vine Whip will break your tendons and bones, and a dart of our Leech Seed will leave you constantly weak. The longer we fight, the more energetic we become!"

Lin Xia stood with her hands on her hips, as if she could already see the desperate and helpless expression on her opponent's face when facing Ivysaur in the Soul Master Tournament or any competition between people of the same level.

Lin Xia was lost in thought, her voice rising several decibels.

"This thing is practically indestructible! Hahaha! From now on, when we fight, we'll just stand in the middle of the field, lay down some Grassy Terrain, take Ingrain, and let them beat us down!"

"When we get tired of beating them, we'll give them a few lashes and throw some seeds at them... tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel hopeless for our opponents!"

Ivysaur seemed to sense its master's pride and roared loudly.

"Dana--!!!"
