During dinner time, Qing Mu said to Qing Tianfeng, "Dad, can you fence off the small patch of forest on the south side of our territory and use it as my mimicry training ground?"
"You want that forest?"
Qing Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Of course you can, but just in case, you have to wait a few days."
Although that small forest was just an ordinary forest and was too small to support the survival of soul beasts, he had to be on guard since it concerned his son.
Qing Mu nodded and said, "Okay!"
"That's right, son."
At this time, Xu Yao took out a thick book from a box beside her and handed it to Qing Mu, saying, "This is a training plan that your father and I wrote specifically for you after reading many books, consulting many wood-attributed control-type spirit masters, and combining our own experience. You must study it carefully when you return."
Qing Mu looked at Xu Yao, then at Qing Tianfeng. Although they pretended to be energetic, they still couldn't hide their tired expressions. They suddenly felt that the training plan was of great weight.
Afterwards, Qing Mu took the training manual and said solemnly, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will definitely learn this book thoroughly."
Seeing this, Xu Yao and Qing Tianfeng looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Although I have been very tired these days and even owe a lot of favors, it is worth it to hear these words from my son.
Five months later.
In a dense forest, Qing Mu opened the cage that held the sika deer. The deer rushed out quickly, like a flash of golden lightning, and ran towards the depths of the forest in an unpredictable trajectory.
However, just as it rushed out dozens of meters, several green vines suddenly emerged from the ground and tied it up tightly. No matter how it struggled, it was useless.
Then, several seeds emitting green light flew out from nowhere and headed straight towards the tied-up sika deer.
The moment the seed touched the other party's body, many thick green vines quickly grew out from it, instantly wrapping the sika deer like a dumpling.
The next moment, green light rose from the vines, and the sika deer immediately made a painful sound because it felt its vitality was rapidly fading.
As if sensing the impact of the seeds, the vines that had originally entangled the sika deer began to slowly retract, burrowing into the ground and disappearing without a trace.
At this time, a blue-green toad creature with garlic-like plant seeds on its head slowly walked out from the grass beside it. It was Bulbasaur.
After Bulbasaur walked out, some white spots of light flew out from the vines that bound the deer and merged into Bulbasaur's body, instantly restoring Bulbasaur's condition a little.
"Bulbasaur, you've done a great job. You can take a break now."
Not far away, Qing Mu nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene.
After five months of training, his soul power level has now reached level nine, and he is only one step away from level ten.
And Bulbasaur also recently mastered a new trick, the Parasyte Seed!
In this way, Bulbasaur now has five moves, namely Whip, Impact, Root, Growth and Parasitic Seed.
"Dana, dana~"
Hearing that he could rest, Bulbasaur's originally tense heart suddenly relaxed and he quickly ran towards Qingmu.
Qing Mu took out the lunch that the guard had just brought over and enjoyed it with Bulbasaur.
After dinner, Qingmu and Bulbasaur found a flat meadow and lay on the grass with Bulbasaur to bask in the sun.
As a grass-type Pokémon, Bulbasaur needs sunlight to grow.
Qing Mu, because he awakened Bulbasaur as his martial soul, gained the characteristics of chlorophyll and felt comfortable in the sunlight.
In this way, the man and the frog lay on the ground, enjoying this rare leisure time.
However, not long after, the relaxed Qingmu and Bulbasaur stood up instantly. Qingmu even pulled out the knife from his waist, his eyes fixed on a shadowy area under the woods.
Seeing that it seemed to have been discovered, a large cat about two meters long and dark purple in color slowly walked out from the shadow area under the tree.
After seeing the figure coming out, Qing Mu's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said word by word: "Shadow Leopard, it's still a hundred-year level!"
Soul beasts also have different strengths and weaknesses. Although the Shadow Leopard cannot compare with the top soul beasts, it is still considered to be one of the very strong soul beasts, not weaker than the famous Nether Spirit Cat.
What's more serious is that this shadow leopard is at the hundred-year level. Although it looks like it has just reached the hundred-year level, it is enough to make Qing Mu feel very stressed.
After all, the hundred-year soul beasts are aimed at the great soul masters among soul masters, and top-level soul beasts like the Shadow Leopard are undoubtedly more troublesome than ordinary hundred-year soul beasts.
"Dana, dana~"
In an instant, Bulbasaur jumped in front of Qingmu, and two green vines immediately stretched out from his neck, protecting Qingmu behind him.
At the same time, Bulbasaur also roared loudly at the Shadow Panther in the distance, as if trying to force the other party back.
But upon seeing this scene, the shadow leopard on the opposite side curled its lips in disdain. Such a weak creature, at most at the level of a ten-year soul beast, dared to demonstrate to a top-level, century-old predator like it?
Forget it, let's kill them quickly. It has never eaten this type of soul beast, so it doesn't know what it tastes like.
Thinking of this, Shadow Leopard suddenly turned into a dark purple shadow and ran towards Qingmu and Bulbasaur.
"Dana!!!"
Seeing that Shadow Panther dared to run towards them, Bulbasaur immediately became angry and activated its growth move. Under the sunlight, its body suddenly grew nearly twice as large.
Then, four thick vines stretched out from Bulbasaur's neck, piercing into the ground and moving through the ground as fast as a dragon.
"roar!"
Suddenly, Shadow Leopard, like a phantom, quickly passed through the two vine whips used by Bulbasaur for defense and appeared behind Qingmu, stretching out its claws to grab Qingmu.
Qing Mu, sensing the movement behind him, turned around and swung his sword, but the Shadow Leopard dodged by crawling over.
Then, a triumphant smile appeared on the Shadow Leopard's face, and it stretched out its claws, wanting to kill Qing Mu on the spot.
But at this moment, a thick green vine emerged from the ground and hit the shadow leopard crawling on the ground.
The assassin-type Shadow Panther's defense is already weak, not to mention that the part being attacked at this moment is its weak spot, the belly. Without any surprise, Bulbasaur's vine whip instantly penetrates it.
The shadow leopard that was hit did not give up and stretched out its claws to kill Qingmu first. However, Qingmu had already used the speed bonus brought by chlorophyll to retreat a few steps and escape from its attack range the moment it was hit and its attack was interrupted, so its attack was doomed to fail.
The next moment, several green vines emerged from the ground and pierced through the body of the Shadow Leopard. A large amount of blood gushed out, dyeing the earth red.
Qing Mu wiped the blood of the Shadow Panther that splashed on his face, looked at the other party calmly and said: "After all, you still underestimated us."
When facing such a speed-type opponent, Bulbasaur's first task is definitely to guard against the opponent's attacks.
So it seems that Bulbasaur only used two vines to protect him, but in fact, all six vines used by Bulbasaur were around him, waiting for the moment when Shadow Panther attacked him.
