Thunder Fire Bamboo

Chapter 90 Thunder Fire Bamboo

In the end, Xiang Yang came up with a solution.

That means increasing physical training, spending more time researching, and trying to create some soul skills.

Alternatively, he could also consider returning his martial soul to its original form, the true Golden Crow form, so that his martial soul would possess dual extreme attributes.

This way, his cultivation speed can be slowed down.

If others knew that Xiang Yang wasn't focusing on cultivating during this golden period of training, but instead wasting time creating his own soul skills, they would definitely think he was an idiot.

However, that's not entirely true.

Some things are fundamental skills that need to be practiced from a young age.

If only physical fitness is improved, but coordination and core strength are not, then Xiang Yang will just become a big, clumsy guy.

In addition, creating his own soul skills, researching martial souls and soul bones are things that Xiang Yang is interested in.

After a long day of tedious cultivation, doing something you enjoy can actually help you cultivate faster.

Xiang Yang didn't necessarily want to increase the difficulty for himself, like Feng Xiaotian, by developing his own soul skills.

Cultivating in a scientific way and creating your own soul skills using scientific theories is by no means a waste of time.

Besides, even if he's not the best, he can't be worse than Tang San in the original story. When he was twelve years old, his soul power level must have been over thirty.

As long as he doesn't change any plot points, it's actually safer for him to go slower.

Once he can develop an attack skill that allows him to unleash all of his soul power at once and compress it to the extreme, he won't have to be so cautious anymore.

However, what Xiang Yang didn't know was that even though he wanted to cultivate as slowly as possible...

There were always people pushing him to become stronger quickly.

That's Tang San.

Unlike in the original story, the current Tang San knows the reason why his family was destroyed.

Although he still forges iron, cultivates, and then spars with Xiao Wu in combat, just like in the original story.

However, Tang San won't play with Xiao Wu much anymore. At this time, Tang San will become extremely competitive.

Tang San was still thinking about revenge!

Xiang Yang was forced to cultivate rapidly before Tang San's identity was exposed.

Of course, this is a story.

After some time, Xiang Yang and his two companions arrived at a forest of fire bamboo. A lone fire bamboo stood at the front, surrounded by no other bamboo, and the ground was covered with charred marks.

"We're lucky. This Thunderfire Bamboo hasn't been stolen by anyone or eaten by any other soul beasts."

Tang Hao looked at the Thunderfire Bamboo tree in front of him, which was as thick as a water vat, and said with a smile.

"This Thunderfire Bamboo is huge! Could the intelligence be wrong?"

Xiang Yang observed carefully and couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao nodded.

"That makes sense. Let me test the waters first."

As he spoke, Tang Hao stepped forward alone, ready to experience the condition of the Thunderfire Bamboo.

Xiang Yang and Tang San took a few steps back and waited quietly for Tang Hao's performance.

Tang Hao had just entered the attack range of the Thunderfire Bamboo when he was instantly struck by a bolt of lightning.

However, the Thunderfire Bamboo was only a thousand-year-old soul beast, and its lightning was still ineffective against Tang Hao.

While observing from a distance, Xiang Yang couldn't help but chat with Tang San.

"Hey, this Thunderfire Bamboo can actually attack on its own?"

"Plant-type spirit beasts don't have eyes or ears, so why is it reacting like this?"

Xiang Yang couldn't help but ask a question in return.

The Water Bamboo that Tang San absorbed before was also a plant-type soul beast, and that Water Bamboo could only defend.

Moreover, they only defended when the attack was almost upon them.

Now, Tang Hao only needed to get close, and the Thunderfire Bamboo attacked on its own.

"Brother Xiang Yang, do you think the Thunderfire Bamboo doesn't attack on its own, but rather acts like a mechanism—"

Tang San hesitated before speaking.

Tang San also felt that the Thunderfire Bamboo's attack was very unusual.

Animal-type soul beasts only develop intelligence comparable to humans after they become ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Plant-type soul beasts need no further explanation, let alone this two-thousand-year-old Thunderfire Bamboo.

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Xiang Yang immediately made a connection.

"Could it be a magnetic field? Is there a magnetic field around the Thunderfire Bamboo? Or has Uncle Hao turned into a conductor?"

Xiang Yang muttered to himself, but felt that his guess was correct.

It's the mechanism Tang San mentioned.

Thunderfire bamboo is a type of bamboo, and its root system is relatively strong and widespread.

When Tang Hao approached the Thunderfire Bamboo, he may have stepped on its roots, which triggered the bamboo's automatic attack, much like a landmine.

It's also possible that Tang Hao accidentally formed a loop with the roots of the Thunderfire Bamboo —

However, regardless of the reason, the Thunderfire Bamboo's abilities are excellent for Tang San.

"Looks like you'll be getting an auto-attack soul skill, Little Three!"

Xiang Yang said with a smile, and Tang San also smiled when he heard this.

Meanwhile, when Tang Hao approached the Thunderfire Bamboo, he was only struck by lightning, not burned.

This made Xiang Yang believe that his guess was true.

However, if the Thunderfire Bamboo doesn't set fire, then it's very likely to explode!

The bamboo tube exploded!?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yang couldn't help but immediately remind Tang Hao.

"Uncle Hao, be careful of the Thunderfire Bamboo exploding!"

Although the explosion of the Thunderfire Bamboo might not necessarily harm Tang Hao, if the Thunderfire Bamboo were to self-destruct and die, Tang San would be unable to obtain the Soul Ring!

Reminded by Xiang Yang, Tang Hao also stopped.

Tang Hao had originally planned to test the Thunderfire Bamboo's defensive capabilities by hammering it.

"Xiaoyang, you're right."

As he spoke, Tang Hao returned to Xiang Yang and the others.

"That Thunderfire Bamboo might explode, what about Xiao San's spirit ring?"

Tang Hao asked curiously.

"Let me think about what a regular firecracker would look like!"

Xiang Yang stroked his chin, deep in thought.

He quickly thought of the situation with the fire bamboo.

Bamboo-type spirit beasts do not exist in isolation; the kind that grows alone is called a solitary bamboo.

Other bamboo-type soul beasts are basically composed of several bamboos.

The water bamboo they encountered before, although there weren't many of them, was only good at defense. Before the other bamboo could grow, they might be eaten.

Even the Water Bamboo itself, without any means of attack, would eventually be eaten, so it's normal that there's only one Water Bamboo.

A normal fire bamboo grove is a small bamboo forest, and cutting down a single fire bamboo grove does not count as killing it.

In theory, the entire fire bamboo must be destroyed, and even its root system must be completely destroyed, to be considered dead.

Then the fire bamboo's explosive attack would be normal.

Anyway, there are fearless clones around.

Xiang Yang recounted all the information he knew and his own speculations.

Ultimately, he also came to a conclusion.

"Clearly, this Thunderfire Bamboo, as a mutant, is different from the other Fire Bamboos that follow it."

"It may be considered an independent entity, and it could still explode."

"As long as the mistress lures him into self-destruction, the hunt should be considered a success."

Xiang Yang thought for a moment and continued, "My suggestion is that Uncle Hao first exhaust the lightning of the Thunderfire Bamboo and deplete its soul power, and then Xiao San can attack from a distance."

Xiang Yang's words resonated with Tang Hao and Tang San.

Tang Hao and Tang San both knew about bamboo, especially Tang San, who had the most bamboo in his previous life in the Shu region.
