Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Brother Yun, did you even study math, Beedrill?"

Back in the rest area, Liu Jianhao asked in surprise.

The moving arc was exactly like the cosine function, and it looked even better than the one printed in the textbook.

"Can't you ask some normal questions? One minute Brother Yun is a reincarnation of a mythical beast, the next minute Brother Yun's Beedrill studied math. I'm really worried about your IQ," Zhao Hailong said, finding an opportunity to complain.

"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be that incompetent Hailong who didn't even make it into the third round~~" Liu Jianhao didn't hold back and retorted.

It's strange, they've known each other since they were little, and they even went to the police station for training together on weekends, so why do they always have to mock and be sarcastic to each other?

Is this what they call "beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love"?

Mu Yun was puzzled and chose to take out some milk candy to calm them down.

With Muyun securing the victory, the third round of the competition is nearing its end.

After a ten-minute break, the first match of the fourth round began.

Ma Sitong vs. Wu Tu!

That is, Ponyta versus Onix!

A battle between younger and older Pokémon!

"Brother Yun, who do you think will win?"

Liu Jianhao asked, a milk candy still in his mouth.

"It's hard to say. On paper, both have their advantages and disadvantages, but neither is enough to affect the outcome. The key is their performance," Mu Yun said.

In his view, as long as Wu Tu doesn't act recklessly and use his weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, the chances of winning are still very high.

After all, Onix has good physical defense, and with the training with Xiaodu, its proficiency in Round and Harden has been increasing.

Even if Ponyta has a double kick, it's not certain that it can defeat Onix.

But if Wu Tu loses his temper and gets carried away, focusing only on offense and neglecting defense, then the outcome is hard to predict.

Just then, the battle began in the arena.

"Big Rock, use 'harden' and 'round'!"

Perhaps it was the experience of several weeks of battles that made Wu Tu develop a habit. Almost the instant the referee finished speaking, he subconsciously made Onix use Harden and Rounden.

Why do we say it's subconscious?

After shouting, Wu Tu's expression clearly froze for a moment, obviously only realizing afterward that this wasn't training with Beedrill, but a battle.

The subsequent battles were simple. With the added boost of double defense and its massive size advantage, Onix gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, Ponyta ran out of energy and was defeated.

In summary, Wu Tu's initial command sealed the victory.

So, could this be considered Xiao Du's achievement?

Mu Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

After Wu Tu won the match, he moved on to the second match of the fourth round, which was between Mu Yun and Sun Xin.

Faced with Mu Yun's Beedrill, the little girl Sun Xin was completely bewildered. After throwing out Mawile, she tried to open her mouth several times, but her mind went blank, and she had no idea what to say to win.

As expected, without hesitation, Xiao Du flew over and easily took down Mawile with a combination of energy gathering and cross-cutting.

..............................

[Ding! Beedrill (19) defeated Mawile (17). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level was detected to be lower than yours. Congratulations, host, your reward is halved, you have gained 5 points!]

..............................

"I knew it! The championship would be between the two of us!"

Before the final, Wu Tu said this with an excited expression.

It gives the feeling that Naruto and Sasgei are about to have a major battle in the Valley of the End.

Wu Tu's personality is somewhat like Naruto's, but unfortunately Mu Yun is not Sasuke. At least at the ordinary level, he could still be Madara.

"Please release your spirits!"

Awesome! *2

As two voices rang out, Xiao Du and Onix appeared on the battlefield.

Due to habit, Wu Tu still starts with hardening and rounding.

What was supposed to be a perfect end-of-month assessment final was turned into a regular training match.

Wu Tu's giant rock snake was completely outmaneuvered by Xiao Du, who couldn't even touch it.

In the end, Onix was unfortunately defeated.

"As expected of my formidable rival, I'll definitely win next time!"

Wu Tu was not discouraged; it wasn't the first time he had lost.

It's normal for the main character to lose a match, but as long as he wins one game, he'll keep winning the rest!

The above are Wu Tu's most genuine thoughts.

..............................

[Ding! Beedrill (19) defeated Onix (17). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level was detected to be lower than yours. Congratulations, host, your reward is halved, you have gained 5 points!]

..............................

As Onix was defeated, a system notification sounded in Mu Yun's mind.

Five points were no longer enough to stir his emotions; what he was looking forward to was receiving the reward for the short-term task 2, the end-of-month assessment, after he got first place.

Sure enough, as the notification sound for Permanent Mission 1: Battle ended, several more system notification sounds rang in his mind.

..............................

[Ding! Short-term mission 2 - End-of-month assessment has ended. Checking host ranking.........]

[Ding! Detection complete. Host has successfully entered the finals and won first place. Random mission rewards are being drawn... Draw complete. All rewards have been distributed. Please check your account!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the following mission rewards: 800 points, one beginner energy block recipe [Energy], one [Skill: Blizzard] learning memory, and one storage space expansion card (1m³)!]

..............................

As the system notification sound appeared, two glowing memory orbs and a semi-transparent card appeared in Mu Yun's storage space.

In terms of points, with the addition of 800 new points, I have successfully reached 8328 points.

Although I can't afford the basic Elf Treasure yet, I have more than enough to buy some berries to make Power Cubes.

Of the other three rewards, the storage space expansion card is a reward that you can have as many as you want.

The newly acquired basic energy cube is called [Energy], and it seems to be related to the energy of the elves.

..............................

[Basic Energy Cube Recipe [Energy]: Apple Berry, Orange Berry, Persimmon Berry and other tree fruits are added in a specific ratio, time, mixing speed and other factors to make basic energy cubes. They can greatly restore stamina and energy, and permanently increase the total energy in a Pokémon's body. After consuming 100 cubes, the increase reaches the maximum value of 5%.

Note: After exceeding one hundred pills, only the effects of restoring stamina and energy will be active.

..............................

An energy block that increases the maximum energy level is pretty good.

With the added bonus from the LV3 Energy Cube Crafting skill, the total bonus is equivalent to 15%, an increase of nearly one-sixth.

(The previous text was incorrect; it was 15%, not 20%. It has been corrected.)

Besides the energy cube recipe, what surprised Mu Yun the most was the randomly generated skill learning and memorization!

It's an ice-type ultimate move—Blizzard!

This is the most powerful ice-type move besides those exclusive to legendary Pokémon!

It's still Bingbing's most proficient special attack move!

It's important to know that the more powerful a move is, the more energy it consumes, and the more troublesome it is to practice.

For example, Xiao Du's cross-cut technique, if it weren't for the perfect mastery of the move memorization and the help of the nut dumbbells, I don't know how long it would have taken to break through the limit.

As for learning it on your own, that's utter nonsense...

Conversely, once mastered, one will become much more adept at controlling and shaping the corresponding attribute energy.

Correspondingly, the speed at which moves are released will be faster, and it can even be fine-tuned to a certain extent.

Now, with the help of move memory, Bingbing can directly master the Ice-type ultimate move Blizzard to a perfect level.

With the insights and memories gained from the perfected Blizzard as a foundation, learning other ice-type moves would be like graduating from university and then going back to study elementary, middle, and high school material.

The difficulty level has dropped dramatically!
