Chapter 245 Xiao Huolong's Evolution? Advancement to Great Dou Master! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A resolute crimson-gold light flashed in Xiao Huolong and Tang Shi's large eyes as he resolutely stood in front of Mo Zhen.

Faced with the metal circular saw whose edges were wrapped with destructive arcs of electricity, it twisted its massive waist violently, and its bare orange-skin-like tail instantly transformed into a long, crimson-gold flaming whip!
The burning battle qi was poured into it without reservation, and the air at the tip of the tail was scorched by the extreme temperature and made to explode, as if a long dragon of fire was about to break free from the tip of the tail!
Earth-rank combat skill - Flame Splitting Wave Tail - is unleashed!

This tail, carrying the ferocious momentum of splitting flames and devouring giant waves, lashed fiercely at the two rapidly spinning [gear discs] that were cutting towards it!
boom--!
The crimson flames and the violent electric current collided violently, creating a deafening clang of metal against metal!
However, the expected scene of the frisbee being flung away did not occur.

With the combined effects of positive and negative charges, the Gear Monster's attack power has now soared to an unbelievable level!

The violently spinning flywheel remained motionless, while Xiao Huolong's massive body was pushed backward repeatedly, his fat claws carving deep furrows in the alloy ground. Tang's face turned bright red!

[Wow! Go, Xiao Huolong! Don't give up! Use the power of our bond! Feel the invincible bond between us, a bond forged through trials—how could it possibly lose to mere steel!]

Xiao Mengzi squealed anxiously atop Mo Zhen's head, as if she had once again taken on the role of trainer Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Huolong used his last bit of strength, and his Burning Technique Battle Qi erupted a second time at the tail!
Clap!

With a crisp sound, the shockwave containing the power of [Flame Devouring Wave Tail] finally shook the absolute path of the flying disc!
The trajectory that was originally aimed straight at Mo Zhen and A Du's hearts suddenly veered off course, narrowly missing them.

Deeply embedded in the alloy wall behind it, leaving two terrifying cuts with smoky, melting edges!
A-Du's red hair was whipped wildly by the strong wind, and his face was covered in cold sweat from surviving the ordeal.

"It actually succeeded! This little fire dragon looks quite plump..."

[Hmph, a death throes.]

A blue light flashed in the red-haired boy's eyes, and the huge core gear on the chest of the gear monster suddenly burst out with dazzling silver-white lightning, instantly weaving an invisible and massive electromagnetic field in the laboratory space!

Om-!
The two [Gear Flying Discs] embedded in the wall emitted a high-frequency vibrating hum. Under the precise pull of the electromagnetic field, they locked onto Mo Zhen again and strangled him at an even more tricky angle!

Sizzle—Crack!
The gear monster's entire body of metal components was vibrating at a high frequency. Supported by the perfect closed-loop current formed by its positive and negative electrical properties, its energy output continued to climb.

At this moment, the [Gear Disc] is spinning and cutting at a speed that is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, resulting in an all-around enhancement in power, speed, and destructive force!

"oh?!"

Xiao Huolong mustered his fighting spirit and once again used [Flame Splitting Wave Tail] to try to intercept.

However, the moment the crimson-gold flame tail made contact with the electromagnetically driven Death Disc, Xiao Huolong felt an indescribable force travel up his tail, as if he had been struck by a steel mountain!
Its fiery dragon formed by the [Flame Devouring Wave Tail] was actually smashed apart!
The crimson-gold battle aura dissipated, and its plump tail was shaken high into the air, dripping with blood!

The two flying discs paused only slightly, their trajectories unchanged, still carrying the momentum to destroy everything, heading straight for Mo Zhen!
"Chi Lao——!!!"

Xiao Huolong roared, and Tang Shi's big eyes erupted with unprecedented madness!
Before it could even think, its enormous body, as plump as a can of yellow peaches, burst forth with astonishing speed, like a moving mountain of flesh, ruthlessly blocking the path between Mo Zhen and the deadly flying disc!

It opened its arms, using its broadest chest to meet the fatal cut!

Pfft——!
Like a hot knife cutting into butter, Xiao Huolong's hastily condensed crimson-gold battle aura robe was as fragile as paper in front of the [Gear Flying Disc], which contained three stages of amplification and enhancement!
The high-speed rotating sharp teeth instantly tore through the tough orange peel, and scalding hot peach sauce gushed out like a fountain, splashing everywhere, even spraying Mo Zhen and A Du behind them in the face!
"Aa ...

Xiao Huolong let out a deafening scream. His huge body was cut into a bloody mess, like a piece of fat meat thrown into an industrial wood chipper. It trembled violently, and his life force was rapidly declining at a visible speed!

“NO——!!!”

Adu's pupils suddenly contracted, and all the color drained from his face.

He had witnessed firsthand the power of that frisbee in easily annihilating the fossil pterosaur, and he clutched his head in despair, letting out a silent scream.

"We can't stop it! This kind of attack is simply beyond the reach of flesh and blood! It's all over, we're all going to die here today!!"

Xiao Mengzi covered her eyes, groaning that she couldn't bear to look at the horrific sight of Xiao Huolong being mashed into peach jam.

【Quack! We're doomed! Our bond is as fragile as a sheet of paper! Tang Long is about to ship, everyone hurry up and pack your bags and run!】

The excruciating pain engulfed Xiao Huolong's consciousness like a tidal wave. Before his consciousness completely succumbed, countless images flashed rapidly through his simple Tang-type brain.

The first encounter on the smuggling ship, the heroic transformation at the Union Wharf, the firefight at the Suanmu Farm, the earth-shattering battle at the port warehouse, the withering rose petals of Little Fairy Doctor, the Lion King's Heart-Burning Flame burning in the Monster Mountain Range, the confusion when divine power dissipates, the obsession when flaunting divine pills...

Finally, the image freezes on Old Chi's face, which wears a red hat and always has a mysterious smile on his lips.

At this moment, Xiao Huolong recalled what Elder Chi had said.

[Remember, as long as you're fired up enough, the potential of this technique has no limit! One day, even the heavens will be shattered by your flames!]

Xiao Huolong had a sudden realization, and a faint but incredibly persistent tremor escaped his throat.

"I...I understand...I wasn't passionate enough...not passionate enough!!!"

An extreme thirst for power from the deepest part of his soul, a powerful obsession with protection, and an ultimate faith in the teachings of Elder Chi erupted like a dormant volcano!
It will burn! Burn life! Burn the soul! Turn everything into flames that consume all things!

Xiao Huolong used his last bit of strength to unleash a soul-shaking roar!

"Red-Old Man, help me!!!"

With this shout, the crimson-gold Lion King Burning Heart Flame behind it surged, intensified, and exploded, becoming fifty times stronger than ever before!
A majestic phantom wearing a red hat and a fiery robe suddenly appeared amidst the splashing yellow peach jam, like a god descending to earth!

In an instant, the phantom of the Crimson King suddenly reached out with both hands, instantly taking control of the raging Lion King's Burning Heart Flame!

Crimson-gold flames surged forth, transforming into a furnace of flames that completely enveloped Xiao Huolong's battered and obese body!

The flames carried a mysterious rhythm, using heaven and earth as a cauldron, like an alchemist manipulating the fire to refine medicinal herbs, frantically refining every inch of Xiao Huolong's flesh, bones, and meridians!
"Aa ...

Xiao Huolong let out an inhuman howl of pain, his body convulsing violently in the fiery furnace, but his eyes shone with a frightening light, filled with madness and determination!

Crimson-gold flames erupted from its body, combining with the external flames controlled by the [Crimson King], undergoing rigorous tempering! Under the extreme burning of the internal and external flames, the Burning Battle Qi within Xiao Huolong's body, which was originally surging like a river, began to undergo an astonishing transformation!

The liquid battle aura was frantically compressed by the terrifying flames and pressure, becoming as viscous and heavy as scalding magma!

Every wisp of battle qi contained explosive power, emitting a dull roar as it flowed!
Gaseous battle qi can be compressed into liquid battle qi, and liquid battle qi will solidify into a solid state after endless training!
Within Xiao Huolong's dantian, the viscous, magma-like liquid battle qi vortex reached its maximum rotation speed under the precise flame control of the [Crimson King] and the frantic compression of Xiao Huolong's own will!
At the center of the vortex, a point of light, as dazzling as a crimson gold star core, suddenly lit up!

Liquid battle qi is frantically condensing around this point, and the battle qi is transforming from liquid to solid!
At this moment, Xiao Huolong burned his body to its limit. His originally round and plump body rapidly withered and condensed, becoming as slender as a fire dragon, with distinct body contours.

Under the intense burning, Xiao Huolong's signature canned yellow peach shape visibly shrank rapidly in the crimson flames!
A large amount of fat was burned away, and the strong muscle lines that were originally covered by fat became prominent as if they had been carved by a knife and axe, and the pointed top of the head became more and more prominent.

In just a few breaths, it transformed from a plump little fire dragon into a slender, explosively powerful fire dragon!

"This...this is evolution?!"

A-Du's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the rapidly changing figure within the flames.

He had long noticed that Mo Zhen's little fire dragon was unusually absurd. Its level should have evolved long ago, but it had been stuck in its initial form and was fat, looking just like his own fat dog.

At this moment, its plump outline is rapidly becoming more solid and capable, its tail is becoming thicker and more powerful, and its pointed head is becoming more prominent—clearly the signs of evolving into a Charizard!

As the flames subsided, the phantom of the Crimson King slowly faded away.

In the blazing firelight, a brand new figure stands proudly!

Its muscular body is strong and powerful with smooth lines, and its pointed head and prominent horns make it look like a nimble Charmeleon!
Those big, clear eyes of Tang's were still bright, but the fighting spirit burning within them was even more intense than flames!
Xiaomengzi trembled with excitement upon seeing the scene before her.

[Wow!!! That's amazing, Xiao Huolong! This is the bond between us!!! You've finally evolved into Charmeleon, now's the time to strike back!]

But what Adu found strange was that during the entire "evolution" process, not a single ray of light of evolution appeared!
This is a very unreasonable phenomenon, because no matter what kind of Pokémon evolves, it will be accompanied by the appearance of the light of evolution, which is proof of Arceus's baptism.

A look of hesitation appeared in A'du's eyes. It seemed that the other party had not evolved, but rather that its fat had been burned away by the flames, refining it into a solid physique...

Regardless, after the drastic change in his physical form, Xiao Huolong's fighting spirit was finally thoroughly tempered.

Xiao Huolong felt the earth-shaking changes within his body.

In the center of the vortex of viscous, magma-like fighting energy in the dantian, a dazzling crimson-gold star core finally took shape!

It is only the size of a longan, yet it shines as brightly as the sun, with mysterious flame patterns flowing across its surface!
Battle Qi Crystallization, the gathering of solidified Battle Qi core, this is... the mark of advancing to become a Great Battle Master!
hum-

A terrifying aura, more than ten times stronger than before, suddenly erupted from Xiao Huolong's body!

The air inside the laboratory seemed to ignite, and the temperature rose sharply!

The insurmountable barrier between a nine-star Dou Shi and a one-star Great Dou Shi, which had trapped countless elves, was ruthlessly crossed by Xiao Huolong through a frenzied method of tempering his body with fierce fire to the limit!
"Aa ...

Xiao Huolong looked up and let out a dragon roar that resounded through the sky, the sound waves rolling and making the entire laboratory buzz!
With its roar, crimson-gold incineration battle qi surged out of its body like boiling lava!

The immense fighting spirit rapidly condensed and solidified on its body surface!
In the blink of an eye, a thick, solid crimson-gold flame armor covering the entire body instantly took shape!
The armor's surface was covered with crimson patterns resembling lava, radiating intense heat and an indestructible texture!
Battle Qi Armor Transformation: Crimson Gold Flame Scale Armor!
What was covering Xiao Huolong at this moment was no longer an illusory battle qi veil, but a real physical armor made of solid battle qi!

Adu gasped in shock, witnessing the legendary realm materialize before his very eyes, which deeply moved him.

"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?! This...this is the legendary Battle Qi Armor?!"

As a loyal fan of "Battle Through the Heavens," he recognized the legendary phenomenon at a glance!

This is the unique ability of legendary Grand Battle Master level experts: solidifying battle qi to form an indestructible armor on their body surface to resist all attacks!
clang! clang! clang! clang!
A series of rapid, explosive sounds, like the hammering of iron, erupted instantly!

The two death discs, each containing terrifying kinetic energy, slashed and crashed violently into the crimson-gold flame scale armor!
Each strike unleashed blinding sparks and violent ripples of energy!

The crimson-gold armor trembled violently, and Xiao Huolong's massive body was forced back repeatedly by the force of the impact!

Cracking sounds continued to emanate from the armor. Xiao Huolong's feet sank deep into the ground, and molten alloy emitted blue smoke from the furrows he had dug.

Burning Jue's battle qi surged wildly as it attempted to repair the armor. The phantom of the Crimson King flickered behind it, seemingly trying its best to stabilize the flames in the cauldron!

hum-

With the core gears of the Gear Monster operating at full power and the electromagnetic field pushed to its limit, the spinning speed and cutting force of the flying disc were increased once again!

Adu's heart leaped into his throat again; he knew all too well how monstrous the Gear Monster's attack power was after the third enhancement.

But when he saw the crimson-gold armor, shattered and barely reassembled amidst the flying disc attack, his heart was filled with shock.

This attack power is close to or even surpasses the signature moves of many level 60 pseudo-legendary Pokémon!
It's a miracle that Xiao Huolong was able to hold on for those few seconds!
"Aaaaaah—keep the fire going!!"

Xiao Huolong let out a deafening roar, pushing the Burning Technique to its limit.

The Lion King's Burning Heart Flame's primal power was fully unleashed, and the magma patterns flowing on the Crimson Gold Flame Scale Armor suddenly brightened, radiating terrifying high temperatures that frantically scorched the rotating metal gears!
laugh--

Under the continuous high temperature, the serrated edges of the two [Gear Flying Discs], made of high-strength alloy, finally began to turn red, and countless spiderweb-like fine cracks appeared on the surface!

Snap! Thud—!
With two crisp sounds, the two flying discs were actually broken apart by the terrifying high temperature contained in the Lion King's Burning Heart Flame and the continuous impact force!
Countless twisted and deformed metal fragments, glowing with intense red light, shot out in all directions like fireworks!
Although Xiao Huolong's crimson-gold flame scale armor was covered with cracks, it did not completely collapse!
It blocked it!
