The resistance ring even covered Ivysaur, causing it to be knocked back more than ten meters and brought to Qing Mu's side.
On the other side, after landing, Mai looked at Ivysaur with a completely different expression, no longer showing any contempt. Clearly, the strength that Ivysaur had displayed was enough for her to take seriously.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Wu said to Qing Mu, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. Well then, I'll have to get serious too."
Immediately, Huo Wu condensed two nearly two-meter-long orange-red flames in her hands. The two flames continued to rise and eventually merged together, forming a white fireball above Huo Wu's head.
Upon seeing this, Huo Wushuang's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly shouted at Huo Wu, "Sister, how could you use this move? Stop it right now!"
In Huo Wushuang's opinion, Huo Wu's fourth soul skill, Fire Dance Shining Sun, is not only terrifyingly powerful, but also has a tracking effect. Using it to deal with Qing Mu, who is only level 30 or so, is simply too much.
But Huo Wu seemed to ignore her brother's words, staring straight at Qing Mu and saying, "This is my fourth soul skill, and also my strongest move so far. If you can withstand this move, then I'll concede..."
However, before Huo Wu could finish speaking, a vine burst from the ground behind her and struck the back of her head.
Huo Wu was instantly struck hard and fell to the ground, the white fireball above her head also suddenly disappeared.
"This..."
This sudden turn of events left Huo Wushuang somewhat bewildered.
He naturally saw that his sister had been knocked unconscious from behind by a thick vine, but when did that vine appear behind Huo Wu?
However, Huo Wushuang quickly reacted and hurried to Huo Wu's side to check on her condition.
No matter what, Huo Wu is his sister after all, and he has to take responsibility for what happened.
At this moment, Qingmu and Ivysaur walked over and said, "Sorry, the wind-up for your sister's Soul Skill is just too long, it's really hard for Ivysaur to resist the urge to attack."
Qing Mu had never seen a soul skill with such a long charging time. It had been five or six seconds since it was released, and it wasn't even fully prepared yet.
Keep in mind that even his current trump card, the Crazy Plant, only takes one second to unleash.
"Don't worry, Ivysaur is very careful. Your sister will probably wake up soon."
As she spoke, Qing Mu snapped her fingers, and a circle of light green ripples quickly spread out.
The once empty ground quickly sprouted many green grasses, and specks of white light emanated from these grasses, merging into Huo Wu's body.
Upon seeing this, Huo Wushuang said with some surprise, "Brother Qing, I didn't expect you could also perform healing."
I know a little bit about it.
Qingmu replied casually.
Although Qing Mu spoke lightly, Huo Wushuang did not think so. Being in the grassland, he could naturally sense that the healing effect of Qing Mu's soul skill was not to be underestimated.
Suddenly, Huo Wushuang seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Brother Qing, I have a question. What type of Soul Master are you?"
Qing Mu's performance was truly perplexing. If he was a support type, he could defeat Huo Wu, a Soul Master level Soul Master, with just a few vines. But if he was an offensive type, his third and first Soul Skills were both support-type Soul Skills.
"I am a Soul Master of the Control type!" Qing Mu replied.
Huo Wu's injuries weren't serious to begin with; she was only drained of energy by the Ultimate Absorption for a while, so she quickly woke up from her coma.
Huo Wu opened her eyes and saw her somewhat anxious brother, and a flood of memories rushed into her mind.
"I... I actually lost, lost to a level 30+ wood attribute soul master?"
Even now, Huo Wu still couldn't believe that she had lost so decisively and so frustratingly.
The next moment, Huo Wu immediately stood up and asked Qing Mu, who was not far away, "What just happened? Why didn't my flames work on your Ivysaur?"
This is Huo Wu's most pressing problem. Logically speaking, wood-attribute martial souls should be countered by fire-attribute martial souls, and they should be at a disadvantage when encountering fire-attribute soul masters.
However, the battle between Mai and Ivysaur was not like that. Her fire techniques seemed to be completely ineffective against Ivysaur. Unable to understand this problem, she couldn't sleep all night.
Huo Wushuang also looked at Qing Mu, clearly very curious about this question as well.
Faced with this question, Qing Mu smiled faintly, touched Ivysaur and said, "The reason is simple, my Ivysaur is fire-resistant!"
Fire...fire-free!
Hearing Qingmu's simple and blunt answer, Huowu was momentarily stunned; it turned out to be for this reason.
After hearing Qing Mu's explanation, Huo Wushuang's eyes showed a look of realization. No wonder Qing Mu was so confident that he could defeat Huo Wu. It turned out that he, as a wood-attribute soul master, was not afraid of fire at all.
"I lost, I lost completely!"
As she spoke, Huo Wu sighed, as if all her spirit had been dissipated in this battle.
No matter what, it was a fair and square battle. Although fire immunity is indeed unfair to a fire-attribute soul master like her, was the battle fair from the start?
She was older than her opponent, her level was higher, and she even used her fourth spirit ring during the battle.
In the end, her defeat was not due to the opponent's fire immunity, but because the opponent exploited the weakness of her fourth soul skill's long casting time.
Although it was a sneak attack, they were in the middle of a battle, so it couldn't be considered a despicable tactic. After all, defeating the opponent with minimal losses is the principle of Soul Master combat.
In this situation, she has no way to complain about unfairness; she can only blame herself for not performing well.
But soon, Huo Wu clenched her fist again, stared at Qing Mu and said, "I will come back to find you again. Next time, I will definitely win."
"I don't have that much time to play with you."
Qing Mu stood up and walked back to their original spot with Ivysaur. Without turning her head, she said, "You'd be better off training more, otherwise you'll lose no matter how many times you challenge me."
"Qingmu, you've only won once. Do you really think you can act recklessly just because you're immune to fire?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu frowned slightly, and Huo Wushuang also frowned as he looked at Qing Mu. Judging from his previous interactions with Qing Mu, Qing Mu was not an arrogant person.
"Saying you're incompetent means you can act recklessly? You overestimate yourself."
Qing Mu turned to look at Huo Wu and said calmly, "Did you really think that was my strength just now?"
What does it mean?
Huo Wu looked at Qing Mu with confusion.
Seeing this, Qingmu said helplessly, "Fine, I'll let you see the true strength of Ivysaur."
