Chapter 195: New Spirit Skill, Solar Beam!
Five days later.
Deep within the Blue Silver Forest.
As Charizard's third spirit ring lit up, a golden sphere of light slowly rose above the forest under its control.
Sunny Day!
Under the illumination of Sunny Day, the gloom that had long filled the depths of the Blue Silver Forest was immediately dispersed.
At this moment, the Blue Silver King's humanlike old face was filled with shock.
It stared fixedly at Charizard, whose aura was steadily rising beneath the sunlight, while an intense sense of unease surged through its heart.
Over the past few days, it had completely resigned itself to its fate and obediently served as a sparring partner for this dragon type beast.
But now, something felt different.
It could clearly sense that Charizard had been strengthened to a level that even it found unbelievable.
Oh no.
Is it planning to finish me off now?
The Blue Silver King felt a chill run through its heart.
Just as it prepared to mobilize its spirit power and make a desperate resistance, Charizard suddenly moved.
Countless rays of sunlight converged toward its mouth.
The gathered energy rapidly condensed into a pure white sphere of light.
Seeing this, alarm bells rang wildly in the Blue Silver King's mind.
The surrounding vines immediately surged into motion, weaving together into a thick shield in front of its body.
The next moment, a brilliant white beam erupted.
Boom!
The beam slammed directly into the shield.
However, the overwhelming destructive force the Blue Silver King had expected never arrived.
The energy condensed in Charizard's mouth was not the terrifying Scorching White Dragon Flame it had feared.
Instead, it was a type of energy that seemed to share the same origin as its own.
Moreover, because the attributes were similar, the damage it suffered was far less severe than expected.
How is this possible?
The Blue Silver King stared at Charizard with even greater astonishment.
A fire attribute dragon type beast could actually master a wood attribute attack?
On the other side, Lin Mo, who had been resting comfortably in his chair, slowly sat upright.
Watching the white beam pierce through the forest, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
It worked.
Solar Beam.
In the Pokémon world, Solar Beam was classified as a Grass type Move.
Normally, it required one turn to gather sunlight energy before the attack could be released on the following turn.
However, under Sunny Day, the charging process could be skipped entirely, allowing the attack to be launched immediately.
On the Douluo Continent, Solar Beam could be considered a Spirit Skill with wood as its primary attribute and light as its secondary attribute.
Coincidentally, Charizard had already mastered several compound Spirit Skills involving fire and light.
It also possessed Sunny Day, a pseudo Domain type Spirit Ability.
Because of this foundation, comprehending Solar Beam had been far easier than it otherwise would have been.
In terms of pure explosive power, Solar Beam could not compare with Flamethrower, Corona Light, or Charizard's other fire attribute attacks.
It was even less comparable to a finishing move under the Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique like Solar Storm Sword.
But Solar Beam's greatest advantage was that it filled another gap in Charizard's offensive coverage.
More importantly, Solar Beam complemented Sunny Day perfectly.
Under Sunny Day, the skill could be released instantly.
For Lin Mo, who pursued comprehensiveness and wanted to eliminate obvious weaknesses, this was undoubtedly an extremely valuable gain.
Charizard lightly flapped its wings and landed beside Lin Mo.
It lowered its head and gently rubbed against Lin Mo's shoulder, its dragon eyes filled with obvious excitement.
Lin Mo reached out and patted it.
"Well done."
He stood up and gave the still stunned Blue Silver King one final glance.
With a thought, crimson gold light flowed behind him.
The Crimson Phoenix Wings emerged from his back.
It was time to leave.
Lin Mo flapped his wings and rose from the ground.
Charizard let out a low roar and immediately followed.
The man and dragon transformed into two streaks of light, breaking through the canopy of the Blue Silver Forest in the blink of an eye before disappearing into the clouds above.
Deep within the Blue Silver Forest, the Blue Silver King stared blankly at the sky.
The expression on the ancient face formed across its main body was complicated.
The two troublesome beings that had tormented it for five full days had finally left.
It should have felt relieved.
It should have considered itself fortunate.
Yet for some reason, as it stared in the direction where Lin Mo and Charizard had disappeared, the vague unease in its heart did not fade.
Instead, it became increasingly clear.
The Blue Silver King waved several vines and forcibly suppressed the strange feeling.
Perhaps it had simply been tormented for too long and had become overly suspicious.
Heaven Dou City, Dugu Manor.
Under the cover of night, a figure silently climbed over the wall surrounding the rear courtyard.
It was Lin Mo, still disguised as a kitchen helper.
He moved quickly through the courtyard.
However, the moment he stepped into the backyard, his footsteps paused slightly.
Four people were sitting around the stone table in the center of the courtyard.
Dugu Bo.
Dugu Yan.
Ye Lingling.
And even Ye Linyuan was present tonight.
Seeing a kitchen helper suddenly enter the private courtyard, Dugu Bo immediately frowned and was about to reprimand him.
But then he sensed a familiar fluctuation coming from the figure.
Dugu Bo froze for a moment.
Understanding quickly flashed through his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Mo no longer bothered hiding his identity.
He raised a hand and wiped it across his face.
His facial contours rapidly shifted until his original handsome appearance returned.
"Senior, Teacher, Sister Yanyan, Sister Lingling."
Lin Mo nodded slightly to everyone.
"I'm back."
Dugu Bo looked him up and down several times.
After confirming that Lin Mo was completely unharmed, a smile appeared on his face.
He waved casually.
"It's good that you're back."
Dugu Bo picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"So, how was your little trip to relax? Pretty enjoyable, I assume? Feeling better now?"
Lin Mo froze for a moment.
As expected.
Dugu Bo had long since realized that his so called trip home had only been an excuse.
Lin Mo smiled and nodded openly.
"So Senior knew after all."
"But this trip really did put me in a good mood."
"And I also came across an unexpected harvest."
"An unexpected harvest?"
Dugu Yan's eyes immediately lit up.
"What did you find?"
Lin Mo did not answer directly.
Instead, he reached into the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse at his waist.
Light flashed.
A long lead box suddenly appeared in his hand.
Lin Mo gently placed the lead box on the stone table and looked at everyone.
"I was quite lucky during this trip and accidentally discovered this."
He placed one hand on the edge of the lid and lifted it.
The next moment, brilliant blue gold light burst from the box, illuminating the entire backyard.
At the same time, an extraordinarily rich aura of life spread through the air.
Beside the stone table, Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan abruptly stood up.
Their gazes locked onto the object inside the box, shock filling their faces.
Inside lay a Right Leg Bone.
Its entire surface was crystal clear and blue gold.
"This is... a Spirit Bone?!"
Dugu Bo's voice trembled noticeably.
He had lived for many years.
Although Spirit Bones were rare, he had still seen quite a few of them.
But this was the first time he had ever seen a Spirit Bone of such astonishing quality.
Ye Linyuan's voice became distorted from shock.
"This aura..."
"Could this be a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone?!"
Hundred Thousand Year.
Those words seemed to explode beside Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's ears.
The two girls simultaneously covered their mouths and looked at one another.
They could clearly see the same shock reflected in each other's eyes.
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone.
Something that existed only in legends.
