Huo Wushuang's departure did not affect Qing Mu. After briefly summarizing the gains and losses, Qing Mu continued his research.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and all the Soul Masters who were originally in the crater disappeared.
Once again, she came up empty-handed. Qing Mu withdrew the bright sunshine and couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that even with fire affinity, mastering fire-attribute moves is not so easy.
"Ivysaur, how do you feel?"
Qingmu asked the Ivysaur beside him.
Ivysaur shook his head, indicating that he hadn't gained anything either.
Unlike Vine Whip, which is an innate special move, the Ivysaur species has never mastered any Fire-type special moves other than Sunny Day, and therefore naturally has no racial inheritance of other Fire-type moves.
So even he had to start from scratch to understand it, but that's not something that can be done in a day or two.
Just then, Qingmu suddenly noticed the Ivysaur emitting a faint red glow and casually asked, "Liehu, how did you master a Fire-type move?"
"Me?"
Liehuo Xingjiao was slightly taken aback, then subconsciously replied, "Fire attribute moves? Aren't these something you're born knowing?"
Upon hearing this, Qingmu's lips twitched involuntarily; it seemed she had asked for nothing.
For Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, Fire-type moves are like Grass-type moves for Ivysaur—they're innate, something she knows naturally and understands instantly.
In their field, they are geniuses, just like the big shots of the past. They can't imagine things that are basic to them, but require explanation to others.
The most typical example is the saying, "Even if someone is not very smart, can they not learn calculus by the age of fourteen?"
"Forget it, I'll just keep going. Luckily, I have a fire affinity, so I'll be able to learn it eventually with some time."
After a moment, Qingmu shrugged helplessly and prepared to continue comprehending.
However, at this moment, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass suddenly spoke up: "Although Liehuo can't teach you, if he demonstrates, your learning should be much easier."
That makes sense.
Hearing this, Qingmu nodded, then said to Liehuo Xingjiao, "Have you learned how to use Flame Thrower? Could you please demonstrate?"
"I learned it a long time ago, but for some reason, its power is a bit low."
As she spoke, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu spewed out a pillar of orange-red fire from the seed behind her.
Qingmu watched this scene with a thoughtful expression on her face, as if she understood something.
Immediately, Qingmu asked seriously, "Liehuo, haven't you come to see Ivysaur as a whole yet?"
Liehuo Xingjiao was a little confused, not knowing why Qingmu suddenly brought this up.
Qingmu explained, "If you and Ivysaur are truly connected, then given Ivysaur's current level, the power of your Flamethrower would definitely not be so small."
The only explanation is that you haven't truly gained Ivysaur's support; you're just using the power you can control to unleash Flamethrower.
"Can I still get support from Ivysaur?"
Upon hearing this, Liehuo Xingjiao was slightly taken aback. Could he really get the support of Ivysaur?
Qingmu said, "Of course, now that you are one, you can use Ivysaur's power as long as he agrees."
The current situation of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, to use an inappropriate analogy, is like an organ of a living organism existing independently of the whole organism, not truly entering the cycle, and naturally unable to play its maximum role.
After hearing Qingmu's words, Liehuo Xingjiao tried for the first time to truly communicate with Ivysaur, and truly regarded herself as a part of Ivysaur.
A moment later, after the fiery apricot blossom truly merged with Venusaur, a powerful force appeared before his eyes.
Immediately, he mobilized that portion of power, and in an instant, a jet of flame, several times more powerful than before, shot out from Ivysaur's back.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was also shocked, and then, like the Fiery Apricot, it completely merged into Ivysaur.
"Just as I thought."
Seeing this, Qing Mu couldn't help but smile slightly. He had felt that the power of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot was not right. It turned out that he had not mobilized the power of Ivysaur and his own, which was why the power was not as expected.
Just then, something suddenly appeared in Qingmu's mind, instantly making Qingmu's eyes widen.
"This is, this is..."
It's no wonder Qing Mu was so excited, because what suddenly appeared was his understanding and insights into some fire-attribute and ice-attribute ultimate techniques.
Judging from this situation, it should have been synchronized from the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Beauty.
After gaining these insights, Qingmu immediately began to put them into practice.
With a simple gesture, Qing Mu opened his hands, and a tiny flame and an ice spike appeared in his palms.
Upon seeing this, Qing Mu burst into laughter. With this feedback, it would undoubtedly become much easier for him to comprehend fire-attribute techniques in the future.
Just then, Ivysaur next to Qingmu also made a move.
"Da na~"
Ivysaur opened its mouth wide, and several sparks shot out from its mouth. Clearly, Qingmu was not the only one who benefited from the complete fusion of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot.
On the other side, after leaving the Blazing Volcano, Huo Wushuang headed towards the Blazing Academy.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You seem a bit absent-minded."
Huo Wu noticed that her brother seemed to be lost in thought ever since he came back yesterday, and he didn't even pay much attention to her, so she couldn't help but ask.
At this moment, Huo Wushuang came to his senses and said with a strange expression, "Huo Wu, do you remember how much Huo Yue's soul skill amplifies fire-attribute soul skills?"
"Thirty percent, what's wrong?"
Huo Wu frowned, wondering why Huo Wushuang suddenly brought this up.
Huo Wushuang continued, "What if I told you that I just met a wood-attribute soul master whose soul skills amplified fire-attribute soul skills by fifty percent, and it was an area-of-effect amplification? Would you believe me?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even our academy doesn't have anyone with this kind of soul skill, let alone a wood-attribute soul master?"
Huo Wu shook her head in disbelief.
Generally speaking, a support Soul Master who can provide 20% is already considered excellent, and 30% is already better than most people. This is why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is known as the number one weapon spirit in the world.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul comes with a natural 10% amplification. The amplification effect increases by 10% with each new Soul Ring acquired, reaching 80% at the Soul Saint level, far exceeding other amplification-type auxiliary Martial Souls.
