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

"bump!!"

An even more violent impact suddenly rang out.

A series of fine, popping sounds, like popping beans, emanated from Cai Mantang's arm.

This is because the arm bones were impacted by gravity.

Humhhhhhh! ! !

Cai Mantang took several steps back in disbelief until the force that had propelled him dissipated, at which point he managed to steady himself and stared wide-eyed at his trembling arm.

He had lost all feeling in his arm...

Of course, his arm wasn't broken; it was just that the sudden, powerful impact caused temporary numbness in the nerves of his arm.

But how strong is his physical body?

Even elite Fighting-type Pokémon would lose to him without using any moves.

How could a mere young boy possess such strength?

Cai Mantang didn't understand.

"It didn't collapse?"

Cai Mantang was surprised, and Mu Yun was also a little surprised.

Based on his deduction, Cai Mantang should only be at the mid-to-late stage of the elite level. Logically speaking, the effect of his punch should not be worse than the result of his fight against Wang Fugui.

"Is your physical defense stronger...?"

Mu Yun quickly made a judgment.

Unlike things as intuitive as speed and strength, you can't really tell how good defense is unless you try it yourself.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun took a step forward, preparing to add some force and deliver another punch to Cai Mantang.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Hearing the whistling wind, Cai Mantang, disregarding his surprise, immediately raised his still-mobile left hand and shouted.

huh~~

Almost the instant he spoke, a powerful gust of wind from a punch grazed past his left palm.

Even without direct contact, the sharp wind from the punch still made his palm sting slightly.

Dominator level!!

That's absolutely overwhelming power!

Large beads of sweat rolled down Cai Mantang's forehead.

If that punch landed squarely, it wouldn't necessarily kill him, but it would definitely cause a fracture and serious injury.

Damn, is this the physical fitness of a high school senior?

How come he's even more monstrous than the monsters from the Lü family!

"What's wrong, Instructor Cai?"

Mu Yun withdrew his fist and asked in confusion.

"Cough cough, no need to fight anymore, I'm no match for you!"

Cai Mantang originally wanted to make excuses such as "I'm not feeling well, I'm a bit rusty, it's a bit cold today, and I forgot to warm up," but the words that came out of his mouth were an honest admission of defeat.

There was no way around it; the difference in their abilities was simply too great.

Judging from how casually he stopped and how effortlessly he did it, that punch, comparable to a beginner-level Overlord Pokémon, was definitely not his full strength.

With that kind of strength, let alone him, even an ordinary Pokémon would only get beaten up.

"Old Cai, are you alright?"

Zou Mingli, who was on the high platform, walked over at some point.

He supported the trembling Cai Mantang with one hand and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious, just a bit exhausted. I'll be fine after a rest."

Cai Mantang felt his right arm, which was gradually regaining some sensation, and said.

Seeing this, Zou Mingli breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at Mu Yun with a complicated expression.

Who would have thought that just a minute ago, he was worried that Cai Mantang might hurt Mu Yun, and the next second, he was worried that Mu Yun might actually kill Cai Mantang.

How unpredictable life is!

"Mu Yun, go and rest."

Although Cai Mantang was unharmed, he was clearly no match for Mu Yun, so Zou Mingli naturally wouldn't let him continue.

In fact, after Cai Mantang fell, there was probably no one in the entire garrison of the Water Forest Secret Realm who could spar with Mu Yun.

This training session had to be omitted.

"Wait a moment!"

Cai Mantang suddenly called out to Mu Yun.

"Even though I can't play, it doesn't mean I can't attend class. Don't forget the purpose of this class." The first sentence was said to Mu Yun, and the second sentence was said to Zou Mingli.

"You mean let the elves go?"

Zou Mingli wasn't stupid; he instantly understood Cai Mantang's intention.

This is to rely on the power of the spirits.

Even the strongest human body has its limits.

Even the most powerful humans are nothing compared to elves.

"Don't worry, Yueyue Bear knows what's good for her. Besides, is there any other way?" Cai Mantang said.

The fundamental purpose of this course is to cultivate one's mindset.

Since he can't put pressure on us, let the elf try.

If even the Moon Bear can't do it, then he's really out of ideas.

We can't exactly send out a Champion-level Pokémon, can we?

That's pure nonsense.

No matter how good your mindset is, you can't withstand the attack of an Elite Four level Pokémon without one.

"Mu Yun, what do you think?"

Zou Mingli did not rush to agree, but looked at Mu Yun instead.

After all, there had never been a case before where elves were used as sparring partners for humans.

"Is it that Moon Bear?"

Mu Yun has keen senses, and since the two didn't try to avoid him while they were talking, he naturally heard that his opponent had changed again.

"That's right, this Moon Bear is one of Instructor Cai's main forces, and its level has been at the peak of the Dojo level for many years." Zou Mingli nodded.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun looked at Yueyue Bear, who seemed to be covering his mouth and chuckling.

The trainer is so lame, getting defeated by a newbie! Hahaha~~~

Oh no, they're looking over here! Did they catch me secretly laughing at him?

Seeing Mu Yun and Zou Mingli looking over, Yueyue Bear immediately stopped smiling and looked up at the sky.

Ah, the sky is so clear today!

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

【Pokémon: Moonbear】

Gender: Male

[Attribute: Ground + Normal]

Level: 69

【Characteristic: Bulletproof (Stronger skin toughness, able to block opponent's projectile and ball-type moves)】

【Items to carry: Earth Armor Vest (Intermediate)】

[Potential: Dojo Level]

[Racial stats: 550]

[Earth Armor Vest (Intermediate): A special amplification-type treasure. Formed by a high-level Ground-type Pokémon under the influence of a special power, this vest-like item amplifies the Pokémon's defense and reduces the impact on its internal organs after an attack.]

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

The bulletproof features combined with the earth-armor vest give this Moon Bear a strong defensive capability.

Combined with his already powerful attack and massive physique, he can be described as a tank-type player who excels in both offense and defense.

He's at the peak of the dojo level. I wonder if using Power Convergence would be effective against him...

Mu Yun pondered.

"Don't worry, he doesn't use any special moves, he just relies on his physical strength," Cai Mantang said from the side.

He wasn't looking to take revenge on Mu Yun, so he naturally wouldn't be so heartless as to let Yueyue Bear use its moves.

"Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't force you. You'll get full marks for this training session, so you can move on to the next training exercise ahead of time."

Seeing Mu Yun remain silent, Zou Mingli assumed he was worried about training and immediately spoke up.

As for whether it's because Mu Yun is embarrassed?

Zou Mingli didn't even think about it.

Someone who can effortlessly knock out his sparring partner while traveling through dense forests, and incidentally beat up his classmate's elf, doesn't need to worry about his skin at all.

I want to give it a try.

As he spoke, Mu Yun looked at Yueyue Bear beside him.

With his current strength, finding a suitable opponent won't be easy.

The fact that the Moon Bear's moves are currently restricted is actually just right.

With its thick skin and tough flesh, along with its special abilities and secret treasures, it can unleash its full power and fight without restraint.

Consider it a test of his current limits.

"Alright, Moon Bear, come over and get ready!" Cai Mantang waved to Moon Bear with his left hand.

"roar!"

Upon hearing this, Moon Bear excitedly ran over.

Finally, it's his turn to bully... cough cough, teach the newbie!

Yay! Educating newcomers is the most fun!
