Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 552 A rare Pokémon with both Ground and Flying types, living on cliffs! Its evolution conditions are demanding!
Ye Yinchuan's gaze sharpened once more.

[Movement: Ghostly Heart Pierce]

[Effect: Condenses pure ghostly energy to form an illusory arrow capable of ignoring physical collisions. This arrow possesses extremely high energy penetration, capable of piercing through most energy barriers and defensive attacks.]

"Ignoring physical collisions..."

"Strongly penetrates energy barriers..."

A hint of undisguised surprise flashed in Ye Yinchuan's eyes.

This is no longer just a simple, powerful move.

This is a capability at the "rules" level!

It is a true, one-hit-kill assassin technique!
Ignore the shields, ignore the barriers.

Once locked on, it's practically a death sentence!

It seemed to sense the shock in the trainer's heart.

The super sniper tree owl, hovering in mid-air, slowly turned its head.

Those deep, dark purple eyes, seemingly containing the entire underworld, met Ye Yinchuan's gaze in the air.

No sound.

There is only one kind of absolute understanding that transcends words.

click -

A barely perceptible soft sound.

The Super Sniper Tree Owl's right flank, which resembled a crossbow, twitched almost imperceptibly.

In an instant!
A translucent purple arrow, shimmering with an eerie light, materialized out of thin air on its wing bow!

That arrow seemed to belong to a material world.

It distorts the light, and the aura it exudes sends shivers down your spine.

The next second, the arrow silently turned into specks of light and vanished without a trace.

The whole process was incredibly fast!
Most viewers who were about to enter the live stream thought they were seeing things!
Wait...was I seeing things? There seemed to be...a flash of purple light on the wing of the sniper owl?

[I saw it too! It was like a special arrow, gone in the blink of an eye!]

[Could this be some kind of ability resulting from super evolution? Host, please elaborate!]

The comments section was filled with speculation.

But Ye Yinchuan did not offer any further explanation.

Some secrets don't need to be revealed to the public.

He simply gave his new ace sniper a deep look.

A ghost pierces the heart...

This is the ultimate killing move of the Super Sniper Tree Owl!
But then again.

That is to say, this unique move of the Ghost Piercing Heart can only condense one arrow, otherwise...

The danger of the Deviljho going out of control due to its super evolution will increase exponentially.

Able to ignore physical collisions and penetrate energy barriers...

This means that this arrow is equivalent to real damage in a game, which is extremely valuable!
Ye Yinchuan picked up the teacup beside him and took a small sip.

"Alright, that's all for today's Super Evolution."

"Next up is the usual live-streamed verification session."

The voice just fell.

The online application list was instantly overwhelmed!
Ye Yinchuan tapped the button casually.

A viewer with the ID "The Cliffside Observer" successfully connected.

The live stream screen was split in two.

On the left is Ye Yinchuan's calm and collected live broadcast room, while on the right is the first-person perspective of the viewers.

"Hu-hu-"

The first sound was the strong gust of wind.

The camera shows a steep, almost vertical, yellowish-brown cliff.

The audience appears to be clinging to the edge of a cliff, and the camera is shaking violently.

Is this guy doing extreme sports?

This place looks so dangerous!

Wow, even in this situation, you still have the energy to do a live stream?

A slightly breathless young male voice rang out.

"K-Kirby! I...I finally connected with you!"

Ye Yinchuan frowned slightly: "Be careful."

"Oh, okay, okay!"

The viewers seemed to realize that they were in a dangerous situation, and quickly adjusted their bodies to fix the camera in a relatively stable position.

"Mr. Kirby, look over there!"

As the camera pans, a strange scene unfolds before everyone's eyes.

On the cliff not far away, a group of... strange creatures were densely packed together!

They are a pale purple color all over, with a pair of bat-like wings, but no feathers.

It trailed a long, segmented tail like a scorpion, with the tip pointing high.

What's most peculiar are their faces.

Huge, round, yellow eyes take up most of its face, its mouth is wide open, and its long tongue sticks out from time to time, giving it a cute yet slightly mischievous expression.

They simply used their two claws to hang effortlessly on the near-ninety-degree cliff, facing the fierce wind, as if enjoying themselves.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with a string of question marks.

What is this thing?

[A flying scorpion? Or a bat with wings?]

[His appearance... is a bit hard to describe, but it's also kind of ugly-cute...]

I'm having a trypophobia attack! Help!

The audience was buzzing with discussion, but no one could name the Pokémon.

The "field researcher" on the other end of the line also asked, panting:
"This kind of Pokémon seems to only be found in places like this, so it's very rare... It's normal that most people don't recognize it."

Ye Yinchuan's gaze calmly fell on the screen.

He didn't even bother to look up any information.

He simply spoke softly.

"Scorpio".

"A Ground and Flying type Pokémon, a very rare type combination."

He spoke eloquently.

“Look at their claws and tails, which allow them to easily attach to the cliff face, so they won’t fall off even when they’re sleeping.”

Sure enough, in the footage, there was a scorpion with its eyes closed, fast asleep.

"They cannot fly actively like bird Pokémon; instead, they rely on spreading their wings and gliding with the wind. Therefore, they usually inhabit cliffs with strong winds."

As soon as the words were spoken, a scorpion spread its wings and leaped down from the cliff, riding the updraft and gracefully tracing an arc in the air.

[Wow, words become law? This Scorpio is actually quite cooperative!]

See that? That's what professionalism is!

[Ground + Flight? What a strange combination. So, would it be afraid of electricity?]

Ye Yinchuan's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"Their hunting method usually involves gliding down from a high altitude, pouncing on the prey's face, and then attacking with the poisonous stinger on their tail."

His words seemed to possess a kind of magic.

A gliding scorpion landed precisely on the face of another dozing scorpion.

"ah!"

Startled by the disturbance to its peaceful slumber, Scorpio flailed wildly with its stinger, but did not actually clamp down.

His fierce yet cowardly demeanor amused everyone in the live stream.

[Scorpio friend: Are you crazy?!]

[It feels like cats mimicking hunting; it's quite interesting.]

The person on the other end of the line listened to Ye Yinchuan's explanation with eyes full of admiration.

"Mr. Kirby! You're amazing!"

He said excitedly, "Such a rare Pokémon, it's a rare find, I really want to catch one... Could you help me see which one here has the best potential?"

As he spoke, he carefully aimed the camera at the group of scorpions.

"But... to be honest, it's a bit of a pity."

He sighed, a hint of regret in his voice.

“I looked it up online. Scorpio’s attributes and abilities are good, but its base stats aren’t particularly outstanding. And… it doesn’t seem to have an evolutionary form, so its potential in the later stages is probably limited.” His words resonated with many people.

Indeed, Pokémon that cannot evolve have significantly lower training value.

[This Scorpio is pretty cool. If it could evolve, it might become a big hit!]

However, at this moment.

Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and slowly spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Who told you..."

"Scorpion, unable to evolve?"

[Could it be... Haha! I knew it, the streamer always manages to surprise us!]

No, the streamer is practically a living encyclopedia of Pokémon knowledge!

"Mr. Kirby, you mean... Scorpion can evolve? That's wonderful! Could you please help me choose a high-potential Scorpion?"

Ye Yinchuan's voice, coming through the microphone, carried a calm and resolute quality.

“It’s not difficult to pick a Scorpio with high potential.”

He changed the subject, his tone becoming more playful.

"But choosing a scorpion with evolutionary potential is another matter entirely."

Here it comes—the host's classic deep breathing moment!

[I knew it! There must be conditions! Otherwise, how come no one knows such a cool Pokémon can evolve?]

The person on the other end of the line gasped for breath and gripped the phone tightly with excitement.

"Mr. Kirby! You mean, not all Scorpions can evolve?"

“That’s right.” Ye Yinchuan’s voice was calm.

"Scorpions capable of evolution are one in ten thousand."

"Because it must be the overlord among these scorpions."

overlord!

These two words, as if carrying immense force, struck the hearts of everyone in the live stream.

[A Dominant Pokémon? That's no joke!]

That sounds incredibly awesome!

Quick! Look closely with the camera, which one is the apex predator? Isn't it the biggest one?

The person in charge had obviously thought of this as well, and he quickly controlled the drone to slowly scan the entire cliff with the camera.

On the cliff face, hundreds of scorpions hung densely packed together. They all looked almost identical, with large yellow eyes and sly smiles, making it a dazzling sight.

“Mr. Kirby… how… how do I tell the difference?” He was somewhat perplexed.

Ye Yinchuan did not answer immediately.

His gaze swept quickly across the screen.

Finally, the image is captured at the highest point of the cliff, on a protruding rock.

"Do you see it there?" he asked, giving instructions.

The camera then zoomed in.

On the rock with the best view, there hung a lone scorpion.

It seems no different from other Scorpios.

They are even slightly smaller in size.

But its eyes are different.

Other Scorpios have a blank, curious, or lazy look in their eyes.

Its eyes are sharp and calm, carrying an innate majesty.

Just then, a young scorpion seemed to try to climb onto the rock.

As soon as it approached, the "dominant" scorpion didn't even turn around.

It just flicked its tail slightly.

"Snapped!"

A soft sound.

The young scorpion seemed to be bounced away by an invisible wall, startled and scrambling away on all fours, not daring to come any closer.

The entire process was fluid and powerful, exuding an aura of dominance.

That dominant scorpion didn't even blink.

Did you see that look?

Wow, other Scorpios are ugly-cute, but this one is genuinely handsome!

[You're wielding Conqueror's Haki, huh? You don't even need to move; your aura alone is enough to dominate the entire scene!]

[This instantly elevates the style!]

The person on the other end of the line was stunned, muttering to himself, "That's it... that's definitely it..."

Ye Yinchuan's voice rang out at the opportune moment, and he began to announce the answer.

"The evolution of Scorpio requires the fulfillment of three extremely demanding conditions."

The live stream room fell silent instantly.

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for this walking encyclopedia of Pokémon to reveal this secret that had never been made public before.

"First, as I just mentioned, one must possess the potential to become a hegemon, or already be a hegemon of a race."

"Only the strongest individuals are qualified to break through the shackles of their race."

What's the difference? Is it innate or acquired?

Like begets like, and the Scorpio overlord can evolve!

This is only the first one, that's very demanding...

"Second." Ye Yinchuan paused.

"It needs to carry a special item—'Sharp Fang'."

"Sharp Fangs?" The person on the other end of the line paused, "What are those? Where can I find them?"

I think I heard the streamer mention this before...

Ye Yinchuan explained calmly, "It's a fang that contains special energy and can make some Pokémon flinch. It's a very rare item. It's usually shed by powerful Pokémon."

A hint of seriousness flashed across the person on the other end of the line, but it was quickly replaced by even greater anticipation.

"Okay! I got it! What's the third condition?"

Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell once again on the solitary, domineering scorpion.

"The third condition is related to time."

"It must absorb enough energy at night to complete its transformation."

He added.

"It could also be described as a thrilling battle that unleashed its full potential."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the live stream seemed to see that scene.

Under the cool moonlight, a dominant scorpion, wielding sharp fangs, fiercely battles a powerful opponent.

At the climax of the battle, at the moment of victory, its body was enveloped in light, breaking free of its shackles and evolving into a brand new, more powerful and handsome form!
These evolutionary conditions sound incredibly impressive!

[I can't take it anymore, I want to see it evolve right now! Streamer, you have to think of something!]

Let's start with the first step: is there a way to subdue it? It's urgent!

The person on the other end of the line was clearly enraged by these words.

He stared at the scorpion with sharp eyes on the screen, his fists clenched tightly, his face filled with excitement and longing.

"Mr. Kirby... thank you!"

"I understand!"

"I've made up my mind! This is my goal!"

Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow:
"You want to tame a dominant Scorpion? Are you sure you have the ability?"

"If I told you that if this dominant scorpion gave the order, all the scorpions on the cliff would swarm you and attack you, how many lives do you think you would have?"

Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, the person on the other end turned pale.

He realized that he had been blinded by the desire to capture powerful Pokémon...

They overlooked their own capabilities and the dangers involved!
[Sigh... the live streamer isn't skilled enough, and the streamer can't do anything about it!]

[To get to this place, he must be a formidable adventurer. Taming an ordinary scorpion is possible... but becoming a powerful overlord is out of the question!]

"..."

The person on the other end of the line struggled internally for a moment, then seemed to accept reality.
"Mr. Kirby, then please... help me choose a good Scorpio! I won't ask for a Overlord! I'll send you the location later, and if you're capable, you can try to tame it!"

Upon hearing the person on the other end of the line's statement, Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred.

"Great, that's very kind of you!"
